What the Epstein class is

Eat the rich or else they'll eat our kids

Depraved pedophiles run the world. Or so revelations from the latest Epstein pedo-files drop attests. Sex trafficking, child auctions, forced birth, eugenics, murder, dismemberment and cannibalism. If we had not collectively witnessed mass child sacrifice in Gaza streamed directly to our phones for well over two years, such allegations would be far less believable.

The files are peppered with names from the most influential circles on earth: bankers, royals, oil Barrons, tech bros, media moguls, lawyers, politicians, intellectuals and, most critically, billionaires. In fact, one thing that links almost all these individuals is in their relationship to capital.

We live under capitalism, which just means that all the things we need to live and produce other things are owned by individual people or companies (also owned by individual people) — no matter how they relate to what they own. Under this system, a person can own land they have never been to or a factory they have never worked in.

They can own parts of 100s, if not thousands, of companies that own resources all over the world, and the people in Epstein’s circles do. Through crafty accounting, they can avoid ever having to give back to the areas these resources are extracted from by avoiding tax. Setting their company up to look like it is based in Bahamas, when it is stealing cobalt from the Congo or trading millions of derivatives from the heart of New York.

There are 3 classes, but it’s not the ones you’ve been told

Now, compare this to the majority of humans on earth who at most will own the home they live in and work for a wage that they live off. Or the smaller group that own a few homes, a company or two and live off the dividends or rent from these assets. These are the labour class and the asset class, respectively.

There is no hard barrier between these groups, it is a membrane. People transition from one class to another, but the overwhelming drive is to ‘achieve financial freedom’ or, in other words, not have to trade your time (and life) for money to pay for survival. This is how capitalism is maintained. People keep the system going by investing their lives into it. Buying an overpriced asset like a family home, being locked into a 35 year mortgage — ensuring you will work all your life making profit for the shareholders — just so you can use your nest egg to buy elder care for your final decade.

No judgement to those who have chosen this path, but I am willing to bet this would not be your choice if you were presented with an alternative?

As it stands, the alternative is ‘social mobility’. Or changing your relationship to capital. The labour class’s relationship to capital is producer, they make the value. The asset class’s relationship to capital is owner, they own the value we produce and extract it from us via ‘rent seeking behaviour’. This can be, in the most literal sense, charging us rent to live in their properties, charging us to have our property on their land (leasehold), or charging us to access resources, products and services that they own. But what about the Epstein class, I hear you ask? The Epstein class have ascended capital and instead trade in something far more valuable — secrets.

At a certain point under capitalism, capital loses its value

Marx noted that monopolies are the natural conclusion of unregulated capital accumulation. Basically, if you set up a system that allows wealth to be hoarded, it will be. He also said this process has been going on since we had the words to describe what’s mine and yours, calling the capture of lands, people and resources by ancient kings primitive accumulation. Still to this day, people descended from the viking Norman pillagers, who hit the shore of Britain in 1066, own huge swathes of the Southeast, like the Duke of Westminster.

From here on in, we’re going to have to imagine, because we are dealing with layers of finance the average person has no frame of reference for. So, let’s put ourselves in the shoes of a multinational tycoon. Businesses on most continents, raking in hundreds of millions per year — a team of specialist accountants replaces your Monzo app saving goals. You don’t pay for things with real money like a person or even a household. You act like a nation, exchanging double-negative debt. Everything is leveraged against everything else on intentionally opaque and complex balance sheets, it takes years of study to be able to interpret. You're not even sure what money is anymore, everything is free in your world. You don't know what things cost, because it simply doesn’t matter, you have more than enough. In fact, there is no possible way you can spend money as fast as you accumulate it. Capital consolidates, and at this scale capital acts like a planet — its gravitational force pulls mass from its orbit towards the centre.

This is squarely where billionaires exist. Even 1% of Elon Musk’s wealth could end world hunger. And yet, instead of handing this fraction over to the people that created it — one hour of their lives at a time — these parasites attend dinner parties and island trips, where they commit the worst crimes imaginable in front of each other to cultivate mutually assured destruction.

History shows us that most revolutions against the ruling class of any particular era is not mounted by the pesants, but by an up-and-coming ‘socially mobile’ class trying to break into the top spot — think the Plebians of Rome. This was a classic example of Elite overproduction. However, with today’s Epstein class these upstarts, like the tech bros Musk and Theil, are instead honey potted at parties and compromised by ritualised crimial activites logged and distributed across intelligence agencies like the Mossad, CIA, KGB and MI5.

Law protects capital

The label of ‘crime’ implies breaking the law. But that is the most insidious part. What the Epstein files release tells us all is that law does not protect people, child trafficking victims and the like. It actually allows the richest and most powerful individuals on earth to eat babies without interruption.

Our legal institutions are as corrupt as the rest, they were set up by the Asset/Epstein class of the past, to protect their capital in the form of property.

John Locke, the philosopher behind the British empire where capitalism metasticised from like a cancer, thought all individuals have natural rights to “life, liberty and property” which governments must protect. Clearly missing the fact that the British state was at the time stealing the lands from the people who worked them through the enclosure acts, and passing on the rights to already wealthy land owners. This twisted and contradictory ideology forced the commoners into the factories and kick started the industrial revolution.

The basis was that humans should “subdue” and “improve” the earth, which meant that land left wild or used for communal grazing was a “waste”. The land had to be farmed intensively (never mind about depleating the soils of nutrients) or else God would be pissed. After subjugating the domestic citizens through starvation, the empire then turned its sights to places like India and the Americas, applying the same laws to justify colonisation. The imperial boomerang in reverse.

In England, our legal system has one main defence against the Epstein class — jury trials. The right to a trial by our peers was enshrined as early as 1215 in the Magna Carta by King John Lackland, the same king who also signed away some kingly-power to the rebellious Barrons. Another example of Elite overproduction. This could give us some clues about why the Epstein class came to be. Before capitalism, the ruling families had a history of back-stabbing and double-crossing each other in pursuit of power e.g. John had his older brother Richard the Lionheart locked up on his way back from the crusades, and Richard himself only became king after revolting against his dad Henry II. Once capital became the organising principle, and not family feuds (as in feudalism), there had to be some mechanism to cement social ties and cultivate loyalty between people who otherwise would have been the top competition.

Back to jury trials — which we musn’t take for granted. The paid off or compromised agents of the Epstein class in government, like David Lammy, are pushing to take this right away from us. The home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, attempted to proscribe Palestine Action, a domestic direct action group, as terrorists for property damage. Despite the only property damaged being weaponry used to murder children abroad. The group does not advocate for harm to human beings — which luckily is the actual definition of terrorism — and by the grace of a seemingly uncorrupted judge, the proscription was deemed unlawful at judicial review, brought by Huda Ammori, the groups co-founder.

Know your enemy

Why is it important that we know what the classes really are and what the Epstein class is? Because we need to know who we are fighting. Without an appropriate word for this group and a meaning that everyone understands, we can’t organise against it. To move away from nameless faceless accusations and push for accountability of the perpetrators, but also understand that they are products of the capitalist system. This system isn’t broken, it was built this way — and we must unite against it, though targeted boycotts, sanctions and actions.

Like the misnomer of left and right, the categories working class and middle class are tools of our oppression. It creates an artificial divide between people who relate in the same way to capital (producers). People who work for a wage and live of that need to work together, because our strength comes from our numbers. People who see themselves as middle class can be convinced to back policies that takes away support from groups they are only one accident away from being a part of — the jobless or disabled. With cries of “I don’t want my taxes to go to the most vulnerable people in society”, fear of being relegated down the capital ladder is weaponised against immigrants and poor people — divide and conquer is the name of the game.

The asset class has a choice — capitalism works for them, so now it’s whether they care that whist they live their cosy lives, this same system is works out even better for billionaire cannibals. They must realise that they still live in the real world with the rest of us. We support their businesses, pay their rents and are their family and friends. Unlike the Epstein class, they are not insulated from our discontent.

Here lies the crux. We must redirect our rage. Not towards others who relate to capital in the same way we do. But towards those who don’t relate to it at all.

Every time you're told to hate a brown person for escaping their war torn land, or simply existing in a white-majority country, think about who instigated and profited from the war. Every time you hear these people being accused of economic migration, think about what white expats are doing in Dubai. Double standards are what creates inequality. One rule for some and one rule for others.

In short, you’ll never meet a billionaire pedo on the street. They’ve set up their whole lives to avoid us commoners, even resorting to buying whole islands just to keep us out of their hair. This is the single largest solidarity building inflection point of all time — we can unite against our common enemy — safe in the knowledge that no one we know is against us… unless they’re a pedo themselves.

How did we get here?

Epstein was a social climber and fixer. Born into an average family in New York, he made his way into finance via an unconventional appointment to teach at a private school on the upper east side. There he met the chief exec of Bear Stearns investment bank, Alan Greenberg, who was the father of two of his students. He also met Les Wexner, a co-conspirator, who gave Epstein unfettered asccess to his billions and rolled out the red carpet to his elite circles.

Having already being accused of inappropriate behaviour towards children, after teaching for less than 2 years, Epstein was catapulted into the world of finance, moving up quickly from administrative assistant to partner in only 4 years. If this career progression seems otherworldly, that’s because it is. He was not picked up for his financial prowess but for his uncanny ability to influence people, and more importantly, lack of morality.

He was hungry for something that can never be satiated — power — and set about achieving it by any means. This part is murky but we can assume that his penchant for young girls was echoed by the rich old men he wanted to ingratiate himself with.

These people have always existed. From the aristocracy of old, wealth was kept consolidated in families via child marriage. Powerful institutions with concentrated patriarchal structure lead to infanticide — ask the patriarchs of the Vatican what’s buried underneath it. But as routes to extreme wealth proliferated: central bankers, merchants, industrialists and tech billionaires wanted access to the same circles, the juiciest information: insider trades and secrets.

Although this class’s roots are ancient, recent advances in information communication tech, aka the internet, has brought their dealings into the public domain. Coupled with the redistrubtion of power that came with capitalisation, monarchs deferring governance to politicians and the hyper inflation of currency after it was de-coupled from real world assets (end of the Bretton Woods agreement). Individuals from non-aristocratic lineages now controlled more capital than entire nations. The secrets and practices of power are no longer the reserve of the initiated and new recruits are instead shepherded by intellegence agencies.

In this environment, filled with the greediest and most immoral humans on earth, there’s only one way to ensure everyone stays on-side: mutually assured destruction. The knowledge that no one will step out of line, or reveal the web, because the personal reputational damage would be too devastating. The truth must also be outlandishly awful, so that if it were to get out, the whistle-blower can be laughed straight into the mad house.

This is where Jeffery comes in, the fall guy. A long time, convicted pedo, with a will to nonce harder than anyone had ever nonced before. This is the spark Alan Greenberg recognised and cultivated. And it was useful, very useful, until it wasn't. It’s no coincidence that the only perpetrators from the Epstein web to face charges are himself (Labour class roots) and Maxwell (a woman). A prime example of where we are regarding power and accountability today — being born a wealthy male still affords protection under ANY circumstances.

Epstein had a way with words and calm, measured facade. Like any narcissist, he was capable of fully normalising and compartmentalising different aspects of his life and the world. He did not have empathy with humans, not even able to see children, possibly his own children, as inherently worthy of love and protection. This was the password to enter the class named after him.

Why the ‘Epstein’ class?

This is just our current iteration of the Epstein class, the criminal cabal who have run institutions from behind the scenes, since their inception. The pedo class is too reductive, they don’t just do pedophilia, they eat them too. The secrets class, not enough impetus, too benign, this is information about murdering rape-babies and strangling models. The Epstein class works because it describes what they do, they hang around on private islands, exchanging state secrets and/or obscene amounts of money to be part of industiral scale child trafficking rings.

What the existence of the Epstein class proves is 1) The logical conclusion of capitalism, the private ownership of well… EVERYTHING, is industrial scale noncery. Not shocking since the system is set up to create vulnerable people to be exploited. And 2) Information is the most valuable rescource on earth. Information is both our weapon and theirs, we can only fight if we understand what is going on and how to do so.
