I haven't read any of the book yet but I did pre-order it quite a while ago. I am heartbroken over her story. I have a daughter that was sex trafficked by her live-in boyfriend for years and is still going through the court process to have him pay for his crimes. She was just granted an appeal for retrial by the Supreme Court of Canada, unfortunately the new trial date is not until 2027. During the first trial when he was found not guilty, the Judge, an old man ready for retirement, kept referring to her as a prostitute.

Can’t lie the phone falling is kinda funny. The rest is heart breaking 💔. This Epstein thing is insane. We know there are traffickers all around the world but so protected in mainstream political circles is here in America. It’s not just sad she’s gone but that we can barely honor her memory with an actual win. This is absolute bs.

Also, not that you ever saw this but there was a huge Pagan ritual that was documented in the 80’s or late 70’s, the footage was on YouTube for a long time. Guest who was a host on that footage “Walter Cronkite.” So, I’m with you. 91 or not, terminal or not… these cultists have their hang ups. I didn’t know about Epstein in 2017 but the footage of this ritual was still available at the time. It was when everyone was connecting the “Vanderbilt’s to everything and illuminati conspiracy theories but who knows this could have been the crossover for Cronkite to Epstein.

I’ll be honest, I don’t want to think into it much more. I don’t know how you did it. I’m glad Virginia got a chance to have you in her journey and in her corner but I know this type of work takes a toll.

I was in Law Enforcement for 5 years and all I could think of in my duties was some of my own traumas that were reflected on the job. I never went back to law enforcement. It sounds like you have been at this for a while. Thank you for your stead fastness and your resolute spirit. Virginia and the other survivors need that.

I was sexually abused for years by my stepfather. I can understand completely why she didn’t go to the police.

I started depressed with Virginia’s situation but you girls turned that around by the end. Thanks, very good collab you have together! 🏆✊

Really getting drunk with your phone, Tera.

I keep enjoying people explaining how Trump can’t read because most people don’t believe it is possible.

You said you don’t have the brain capacity, so be The Scarecrow. I like Bride of Frankenstein idea as well.

" Do you know why this World is as bad as it is?... It is because People think only about their own business, and won't trouble themselves to stand up for the Oppressed, nor bring the wrong-doers to light... My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.

We are going to find out that this was/continues to be a global blackmail operation by whomever funded epstein. My money is on russia: vlad used little girls as bait so he could get something obscene on every powerful man in the world. Just think about that. What insanely weird decisions that advance the violent destruction of western democracy have been made by men he may be blackmailing?

Brexit? cameron/bojo — check.

Invasion of Iraq on bogus grounds? cheney/rumsfeld — check.

Crushing the American government? musk/thiel — check.

Genocide in Gaza? netanyahu — check.

Trying to destroy NATO? trump — check.

Arranging for pregnant women to die from preventable conditions so they will be terrified into shutting up (and because as misogynist narcissists, they actually loath us anyway, so ... win-win)? alito + the fascist 5 — check.

And then you have the delusional misogynist patriarchy-worshipping women gleefully enabling the worst women-hating men: amy coney barrett — check.

It would be shocking but hardly surprising to find out that all of these despicable men and a thousand more, along with their disgusting sycophantic women, are locked in a macabre dance with vlad calling the steps.

The question to ask is, ‘who gains in money and power'? And the answer always comes back to vlad.

I think that Israel/Mossad are far more likely to have funded and enabled Epstein than Russia.

I have to say this is hard for me to watch, but it is a necessary for the public to know. These men are manipulators and no regard of anyone else’s feelings or what destruction they cause to another human being.

Zev Shalev here on Substack has done an amazing job of following the money Epstein had. When this information is read alongside Virginia Guiffre’s book, a whole other dimension is revealed, it is harrowing and infuriating to understand what these animals have done to the young girls/women/ boys and men whose lives were destroyed through trafficking, rape and abuse, but also to people around the world who’s money was stolen, homes lost and futures damaged by the perverted, powerful and greedy. This story is shocking from all sides and everyone needs to understand it and ensure that those responsible then, and those still committing these heinous crimes, are brought to justice! Rest in Peace Virginia, we see you, we hear you, we will never forget.

On your question about traumatized people still seeing beauty in the world I think it’s the trauma that gives you that gift. When you live in nothing but darkness those glimpses of good and light shine like diamonds in the night sky. You want to reach out and touch them. I read the excerpt in the New Yorker of the book and look forward to the rest. Her spirit really does come through in her writing and it’s hauntingly beautiful.
