Silenced Screams

Judging from the limited number of Epstein files so far released there are evidently many female voices from whom we're not hearing regarding the sexual assaults that we're informed occurred with great frequency on Epstein Island.

And the reason is money. Lots and lots of hush money.

Though it's clear that not every young woman took the checks you would have to be terribly naive to not understand that the typical American is under such severe economic stress, especially the homes from which the Epstein victims were specifically plucked, to know they would much prefer taking the option of paying the mortgage rather than completely depleting their savings by wading into the legal system to seek justice for their child's now sundered hymen.

This is not a digression, but crack and cocaine are the same thing, just in different formats. But possession of crack, mostly used by poor (minority) people has much more severe legal penalties than cocaine, used by more affluent (White) people. An average of 115 months prison time versus 87 months, respectively.

I bring this up because, in America, sexually assaulting a female tween is hardly a crime if the victim or her parents are willing to take a check with big round numbers on it for her anguish.

And yet, if you're caught with a video on your phone of a tween getting railed then you go to jail for a long time.

Yes, in America video child rape is crack while actual child rape is cocaine.

What I'd like to suggest is that NO ONE be legally alowed to be paid to look the other way when a crime has been committed against them. It's not far down that slippery slope before someone forcibly cuts out your kidneys but leaves you a check for that trip to Morocco you've been hankering after.

Absurd? Yeah. Just like everything else in this fucking country.

You know the world is running short of potable water, right?

Pollution, overpopulation, and overconsumption are leading to an irreversible "water bankruptcy" right now.

Please look up "irreversible". It's important.

And, wouldn't you know it, the Republican Party is the standard bearer for all of the entities that are most responsible for this problem: Big Oil, the opposition to birth control, and their newest pal, AI, which uses massive amounts of fresh water just so that 13-year-old boys can create nude images of their female classmates. This for a system, AI, which will never make a profit and is actually dangerous, in its basic function, to a society populated by killer chimps.

Why does everything bad in this country seem to come back to 13-year-old girls?
