Day after day, horrific chapters of what was happening on what is known as Jeffrey Epstein's 'Devil's Island' unfold, with reports indicating that the number of kidnapped and raped child victims has exceeded 1,500. These crimes, which occurred at the heart of a system that promotes democracy and freedoms, affected innocent children, some as young as nine years old, amidst a suspicious judicial silence.
Sources quoted eyewitnesses from Epstein's inner circle, including his head housekeeper and main chef, detailing chilling accounts of death chambers, human kitchens, and pits used to dispose of victims. These testimonies were not mere hearsay; they were corroborated by audio and visual evidence that places financial, political, artistic, and military figures in the direct line of accusation for committing brutal crimes.
Despite a deluge of confessions from Epstein's private doctor and personal pilot about horrors that extend beyond sexual assault to include murder, mutilation of bodies, and organ theft, justice remains elusive. It seems these weighty files have been reduced to mere media material and documentaries for viewing, without any genuine intention to bring those involved to investigation and accountability platforms.
This deliberate absence of justice raises fundamental questions about the selectivity of international justice, especially when compared to the speed with which Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib detention centers were built. The powers that today fail to hold the criminals of 'Devil's Island' accountable are the same ones that attacked countries and executed their leaders based on reports later proven false, exposing the falsity of their moral slogans.
The world bitterly recalls how pretexts were used to invade Iraq, destroy its civilization, and displace its people, an aggression that caused the death of over a million people under the false pretense of possessing weapons of mass destruction. After the Iraqi president was executed and the country was destroyed, the same powers coldly admitted that those weapons never existed, in a clear disregard for the blood of peoples.
This does not stop at distant history but extends to current practices where heads of state are kidnapped and tried according to laws tailored by major powers to suit their interests. This double standard gives the green light to continue tampering with the destinies of peoples, as long as the 'international judge' turns a blind eye to the crimes of elites close to global decision-making circles.
In the Gaza Strip, this lame justice manifests in its ugliest forms, where life in all its forms—human, animal, and inanimate—is annihilated without real deterrence. What is happening in Palestine is an extension of the same mentality that allows Epstein's crimes to go unpunished, where human ethics are sacrificed on the altar of major political and military interests.
Epstein's file contains all the legal elements of a crime: known defendants by name and description, conclusive material evidence, close eyewitnesses, and thousands of grieving victims. Yet, the judge remains the only absent element from the scene, confirming that the international legal system was designed to protect the powerful and oppress only the weak.
Ultimately, belief in the democracy and freedoms promoted by these powers remains a mere illusion that grants them a mandate for further destruction on Earth. While the testimonies of chefs and doctors on Epstein's island remain locked in drawers, the war machine continues to claim lives in other parts of the world, awaiting a justice that may not come from Earth but from heaven.
One element was missing in the Epstein case: the judge... That is their justice, which evaporates when it concerns their elites.
