There’s literally no amount of money that could possibly erase the physical trauma and the emotional damage, or make this right, for any of the victims. These scars can last for eternity.

And the current POTUS sits CENTER STAGE in his decades’ long participation, as well as the current massive coverup of this horrendous international child trafficking cartel. DJT is an abhorrent, despicable, loathsome creature. He’s pure satanic EVIL.

He should be immediately removed from office and prosecuted, (even beaten, naked, in the public square) then moved into an institution for the criminally insane, secured in a straitjacket, where he will rot in solitary confinement, then burn in hellfire and brimstone for eternity.

And those who have protected him and still defend him are fully complicit. So they should also meet the same demise.

END THIS NOW!

Your "should" is great but will not happen. At least not yet. So we have to continue to pressure everyone from mainstream media to all GOP members of congress to do something. While I am disgusted by the files I may be even more disgusted with the Republican Party's silence which shows their support. All of them, not just those in Congress. I haven't even seen anything from Mike Pence who likes to claim to be a super duper Christian..is this what Jesus wants for girls??? No it is not.

Merry's avatar

I agree. Those in Congress and in the trump administration, the entire Republican Party who have remained silent are shielding Trump throughout this process. So they are fully complicit. Maybe the best we can hope for is that democrats will take control over Congress in the fall elections.

But with the persistent efforts of the Trump regime to nationalize elections, and a SCOTUS that has given Trump full reign, it looks dim. Obviously Trump knows that if he loses control of Congress, he will be impeached again, removed from office and prosecuted.

So I certainly don’t rule out ICE raids across the country, martial law, suspension of elections, and mass arrests. …sign. My brain hurts.

The scars do last but at some point, you do find peace. I am also a victim and I have managed to find peace and I have forgiven my abuser even though he doesn't think he was an abuser. But for myself, I need to forgive and move on. I also am a Jesus follower who has helped me find peace.

I’m glad you were able to recover and forgive.

At the same time, I would never assume that all circumstances are the same, or that I know the full impact this sexual abuse had on their lives. So I can’t speak for anyone else about how they should respond to being sexually assaulted and/or also trafficked.

Sometimes it’s simply the acknowledgment that it actually occurred, that there were perhaps 100s of innocent young girls who were indoctrinated, threatened, raped, and exploited by older men for their personal, demented sexual pleasures, and that the international Epstein child trafficking network was real and profitable for those who were involved at the highest level.

And that they ALL should be - WILL be - held accountable for their crimes, instead of watching the massive coverup that’s occurring right now. AND that the POTUS is at the center of this coverup. It’s simply UNACCEPTABLE on every level. And by far, most Americans agree.

And that includes everyone who is protecting djt.

And make Pam Bondi an individual defendant....

How utterly depraved all this is: The stage set of Ellen's show is a tribute to Epstein's island and the moloch temple there. These mosters are wicked beyond imagination and their satanic religion has ripped through hollywood, the governemnt, and the wealthy like an STD.

"Hey, don't call me a cynic but I'm starting to think these blood drinking, moloch worshiping pedophiles who run our government might not have our best interests in mind. —Norm Macdonald, Lost at 61

Bill Gates on Epstein: “His lifestyle is very different and kind of intriguing although it would not work for me.”

Congressman Burchett on Compromised Government: "...And too many of my colleagues I'm afraid are compromised, uh, in this area for whatever reason. Somebody's whispered in their ear and said hey, you don't want something to come out on something else you better keep your mouth shut on this. And that's exactly what they've done. And um, it continues to go whether it's the honey pot the Russians use to use or something worse I don't know but but it's clearly, you see that up and down the line... So obviously the um, congress has been compromised and this continues on through the White House, through the Justice Department.. it's uh, the trash can is very deep. It uh, it's not a swamp it's an open sewer."

There is a reason pedophiles are viciously beaten to death in prison. Even the most loathsome and hardest of hard criminals know that you do not violate the most innocent, impressionable, and vulnerable among us. Only demons like Epstein et el do that.

Gates caught an STD from one of the women he slept with, and instead of telling his then wife Melinda, he tried to sneak antibiotics into her food.

OMG 😳

Susie S's avatar

Kathy, your source, pls, on that one??

Miriam Lieberman's avatar

It’s in an email between Gates and Epstein in the file dump.

“His lifestyle is very different and kind of intriguing"

Intriguing????

The love of money is indeed the root of evil.

These men + Maxwell and her best friends are depraved.

I wonder how much the wives/ex-wives of these men know. And are they still under NDA or prenups that silence them.

I wonder how much the now-grown offspring of these men have found out... and if a new generation of depraved are in line after their fathers.

Jenny Smedley's avatar

Ghislaine Maxwell should not be released,( in fact she should be returned to her proper maximum security prison) and should serve every minute of her sentence for the horrors she personally inflicted, and enabled others to inflict, on underaged girls.

She will rot in Hell, along side Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump and all the other predatory paedophiles who have so far dodged justice.

Their time will come.

I wish all the survivors of these paedophile men & women peace and healing for the future.

Kathy Hughes's avatar

I definitely agree she should serve her remaining time in a more secure prison.

Bonnie Boyce's avatar

The DOJ and Bondi are absolutely evil, and this is from someone who doesn’t believe in pure evil. Important takeaway: “ this was not simply a matter of distressing material resurfacing. It was the deliberate exposure of identifying and deeply personal information that survivors were compelled to provide under oath.”

Robin's avatar

Trying to flip the term "victim" to be the old white men billionaires with political power.

I really wish there were not political parties... that every elected official had to stand on their own human merit + their plans to get issues done + proven willingness to collaborate for the good of all. (That last part sounds a bit like honor, integrity and human rights!)

Congress- without political parties- would be more of a "congress" than the shards we are left with.

And re: the administration- there is no hope for any of them as human beings

Bonnie Boyce's avatar

Thank you for refusing to “move on” from this story of how oligarchs abuse children with impunity.

Wade Baynham's avatar

Thank you both for this important interview exposing the staggering corruption of Trump, the DOJ and the rest of the perpetrators.

Mary Wilson's avatar

That was an interview that some women and girls out there really need to hear. Hard to hear, but if you've been anywhere near a situation like this you can understand. My best to Anouska.

The Peaceful Solution-Plan B's avatar

From Encyclopedia Britannica

“The Progressive movement was a political and social-reform movement that brought major changes to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, known as the Progressive Era, the movement’s goals involved strengthening the national government and addressing people’s economic, social, and political demands. Progressives saw elements of American society that they wished to reform, especially ending the extreme concentration of wealth among the elite and the enormous economic and political power of big business.”

From The Peaceful Solution:

The political right wing has been working to undo these reforms for over 100 years and now they’ve succeeded. It could take many years to restore our democracy, unless the citizens awaken quickly and take the peaceful actions of non cooperation, and economic disengagement.

How much do you want to stop His Royal Heinous and the fascist takeover of the country?

Enough that you’re willing to make a small sacrifice? Like altering your spending habits for a month or two or three? That could be all it would take to get the attention of the oligarchs (formerly known as The Robber Barons in the first Gilded Age, also The Fat Cats, The Greedy Bastards).

A brief demonstration of We, the People’s, power of the purse could persuade them to quit supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.

We quit spending, except on essentials, businesses lose money, stock market goes down, Greedy Bastards pay attention to our demands.

Linda's avatar

That Epstein, Trump and others privileged got away with dehumanizing the young girls is despicable…There must be justice for them…The faux President that we now have that is destroying our country with his unbridling power…The lies continue with false promises to lure his weak minded to keep him in power…Vote midterms like your life depended on it….

Lady Lanfear's Letters's avatar

I watched on YouTube and it was a powerful interview The survivors deserve better. They've essentially been betrayed by their own government. And it's crazy that that government is the U.S.A.

Susie S's avatar

This is what this country has become, and without people standing up!! 😡🧐🤮

William C Anthony's avatar

Ben, when will the victims of these horrible people have their day and justice? It sickens me what our country has become under the deranged lunatic in the office and the people who surround him. The Supremes who are not Supremes need to make it their priority to have these documents released to a special monitor to review and to finally push out the names of the criminals hiding behind Drumpf. I am planning to make my exit from the Divided States of American if Drumpf messes with the mid-terms. He knows he will be impeached and convicted. The time is long over-due.

Honestly, I don’t know how anyone ignores this stuff and lives with themselves.

Jenny Smedley's avatar

You'd think that a legal department like the DOJ would realise the possible harm that they have exposed Anouska to by publishing her unredacted personal details like full name, address, phone number, drivers licence etc.- have they not heard of scammers??? All those details, plus photograph & signature, are like gold dust to a criminal scammer. She should sue the DOJ immediately for the disruption to her life, not to mention how they have broken the law re their redactions and lack of care.

Francesca Cee's avatar

Oh, they realize. They're doing this on purpose as an intimidation tactic towards any other survivor that wants to come forward. It's a warning that they better not.

Cathy Wray's avatar

Are there any great lawyers who would take this case??? SOMEBODY help!!!!

Joan's avatar

I hope to comment to you your sincere and humane decency that I have witnessed here in your interview and also in the relationship with your brothers. I am very grateful to know you are actually the man you seem to be, Ben, and the loving spirit you seem to be. I comment with deep gratitude for your empathy and the design of your content and comments, your honesty and decency. I leave this with you as a tribute to your human and humane example of living. Thank you again and again! Joan H.

Susan's avatar

I felt the same way watching that interview. Much respect Ben💝

JG's avatar

Thank you for these comments. You hit the nail on the head.

Thomas Thompson's avatar

This is all very interesting, but what the American people need to know is the "who, what, when, where, and why of the abuse. When will one of these victims name names, times, acts, instead of all the teasing? This country is being run by a monster who wants to make us all his slaves, and these "victims" keep pussy-footing around the elephant in the room; did he or didn't he?

Francesca Cee's avatar

You have no business deciding what any of these survivors should do. People deal with trauma in different ways. In my case I spoke up, but still never got justice. I don't blame ANYONE for making the decision to protect themselves in whatever way they feel is appropriate. Coming forward comes with great risk physically and emotionally. Do you have ptsd? I do. I cannot imagine the pain these women are going through. You should think about that. It's not their responsibility to relive their trauma by talking about it on an international stage. It's the DOJ's responsibility. Please sit down and really think this through. If this was one of your loved ones, what do you think you'd do?

Susie S's avatar

THIS crisis certainly calls for them to stand up, Frannie.

Francesca Cee's avatar

Yeah, you didn't read what I said. You don't get to tell them what they should or should not do. There's a reason why victim's names are protected by the law. You are also one of the reasons.

Kathleen's avatar

I think that they are rightfully afraid of the threats and harassment that will follow if they name those names. Already we hear in this interview and others how these women have been further traumatized by cruel people victimizing them all over again.

Susie S's avatar

If EVERYONE would stand up to him, he'd crash and burn. Isn't that really what ALL OF US want?!?!?

Alastair McLean's avatar

Yeah sure buddy. How arrogant. They are up agaist the most powerful people in the world, with DOJ that is compromised. They have had their life destroyed by trusting bad actors, and you say they are fussy footing around! Get real.

Renee Goodman's avatar

Thomas, I truly agree with you! I do believe some of the victims did say Epstein, Trump and Andrew’s name that raped and abused them!

Carole Littlefield's avatar

The victims have named names. The DOJ is redacting the monsters' names and exposing the victims. It's intimidating to the survivors who haven't come forward yet. DOJ is complicit.

Sean Moore's avatar

Have you been sexually abused for years when you were a child? If not sit the fk down.

Judie Kasnick's avatar

What a great piece! She is so courageous…and yes, she does need to sue the DOJ (Pam Bondi personally!!). I wait eagerly for all the truth to come out and hopefully all those involved to be prosecuted, including DJT. I am also a (retired) mental health professional and know first hand what such abuse does to children.
