House Democrats dropped a
political bombshell, releasing emails they say came from Jeffrey Epstein’s
estate that allegedly show Donald Trump was not just aware of the abuse taking
place in Epstein’s orbit but “spent
hours at my house” with one of the presumably underage girls.
The documents — now the focus
of fierce scrutiny and verification efforts — raise three searing questions:
What did Trump know, and when did he know it; what did he do and who did he do
it to/with; and is he preparing to start a war to distract us from his
exposure?
The allegations are shocking, but
the larger danger lies in what happens next. Every time the walls close in,
this man reaches for spectacle — rage, chaos, or even war — to change the
subject. Already, Washington feels the rumble of an upcoming diversion.
Just this past Sunday, the
president of Colombia publicly pointed to Trump and his military buildup off
the coast of Venezuela and said, “A clan
of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”
With tension rising in the
Caribbean and the Trump administration’s talk of “protecting democracy” against
Venezuela, we have to ask the question that no one in corporate media wants to
say out loud: “Will Trump try to light another foreign fire to drown out the
headlines at home?”
History warns us that autocrats
in crisis reach for military might as a political life-raft. That’s why this
moment demands vigilance from every American who still believes in truth over
theater, democracy over autocracy, and has been disgusted by previous
presidents’ efforts to lie us into wars for purely political purposes like in
Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
If the evidence against Trump
proves false, let it collapse under scrutiny. But if it’s real — if a morbidly
rich and powerful man has once again used wealth and influence to shield
unspeakable crimes — then no war, no distraction, no flag-waving speech should
be allowed to bury it. And if Trump does try to start a war with Venezuela to
distract us from his crimes, we all must speak out loudly and unceasingly. Let
your members of Congress know your thoughts (202-224-3121).
Justice and peace must come
first, or democracy itself will be the next casualty.
