“…the dead carcasses of unburied men…that do corrupt my air…”

— Shakespeare, Coriolanus, Act 1, Scene 4

The carcasses, in the form of “The Epstein Files,” are all over the news this week after their late release in response to the Epstein Files Transparency Act which required their public disclosure by December 19.

Among the millions of pages, 2,000 videos and 180,000 images are victim identifications and even naked photos of some victims — divulged by “mistake.” The government published dozens of the nude pictures from the Epstein data. They show young women or possibly teenagers with their faces visible. They have mostly been removed, allegedly after The New York Times notified the Justice Department. The Times claims it discovered nearly 40 uncensored nude images. Some of them appear to have been photographed on Mr. Epstein’s private island.

“It’s hard to imagine a more egregious way of not protecting victims than having full nude images of them available for the world to download,” said Annie Farmer, who has testified in court about how she was groomed and abused as a teenager by Epstein and his partner in crime Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now imprisoned in a minimum security facility thanks to Trump.

America is Given the Thirty-Third Degree

The idiomatic expression “giving someone the third degree,” denoting subjecting a captive or apprehended individual to prolonged, harsh police interrogation entered common parlance in the United States circa 1900, derived from Freemasonry’s third-degree ritual which entails hoodwinking (blindfolding) a recruit and binding him with a cable tow (a noose formed into a three-part knot). One would be tempted to say that this is the psychological condition of the American people today were it not for the fact that the blindfold is off and the Epstein Files are here for all to see.

At this juncture we are on the precipice of the Truth or Consequences dare.

In 1950 the nationally televised Truth or Consequences game show dared any community in America to rename itself after the show. The town of Hot Springs, New Mexico, situated on the 33rd degree of north parallel latitude, (a line it shared with the Trinity Site where the first atomic bomb was detonated in 1945), took the dare.

The Truth or Consequences (1940–1988) television program enacted a truth dare game. Contestants had a very brief window (usually seconds) in which to answer an odd question (the “truth”). Failing to do so led straight to the consequences; for example, having to perform an embarrassing stunt.

James Shelby Downard believed that the truth or consequences principle was integral to the Revelation of the Method wherein the people are shown the truth about their rotten leaders and dared to do something about the revelation. Failure to act led to the consequences—a deeper induction into a collective trance state.

This process has occurred many times in the late 20th and 21st centuries. The conspiracy theory movement, when reduced to thrill-seeking voyeurism, has exacerbated the psychic wounding of the Group Mind. They have failed the truth. We the People have not forced the prosecution in a court of law of the perpetrators whose identities have been intentionally manifested over the course of the recent past.

When will Maxwell and Epstein’s co-conspirators be arrested? Students of psychological warfare predict that the failure to apprehend them will result in further “authenticity collapse,” by means of which our souls rot.
