We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

MODERATORS
If you go back to the original meaning of Left and Right in a political discussion, Epstein and his friends are 100% right-wing.
The origins of the terms come from the French Revolution. Before the Reign of Terror kicked off, there was an interim government that was writing a new constitution. France could have become a constitutional monarchy from it.
Anyway, during the process, there were a number of votes held. Those who were in favor of the status quo, i.e. an unchecked monarchy and unaccountable nobility, sat on the right of the Speaker's podium. Those who wanted democracy and accountability for the crimes of the nobility sat on the left.
The reason why Left and Right were applied to economic matters is simple. Marx wrote about an economic system of equality and accountability. On the other side, the Father of Conservatism, Edmund Burke, wrote about using the power of money to escape accountability and to suppress democracy.
So anyone who considers themselves "elite" because of merely having money, is by definition a right-wing asshole. But also, the vast majority of Epstien's "friends" are openly right wing, because they're mostly the rich and powerful.
