Survivor Calls for Release of Epstein Files, Ending Impunity for Rich & Powerful Abusers

[Uncle Joe]

We speak to a survivor of sexual abuse perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein and enabled by his partner Ghislaine Maxwell. Teresa Helm was sexually assaulted by Epstein at what she was told was a job interview in the early 2000s. She now works as the survivor services coordinator for the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and joins many voices calling for the release of federal documents pertaining to Epstein's criminal case, though Helm emphasizes that the goal of their release must be to promote accountability and justice for victims, not as a form of political score-settling.

"I really urge everyone to focus their commitment, their intention, all this time, effort and energy onto … these survivors and their healing," says Helm. "We're talking about people's lives, and it should not be weaponized either way, in any administration."

1. One Dilemma...

If it confirms that the President is a Pedophile; The Dollar will crash.

[Uncle Joe]

3. An overriding dilemma...

from an economic standpoint is that whether it confirms if the President is a Pedophile or not, he's attacking the dollar as it is with his policies and erratic behavior.

The supreme dilemma being that if this is swept under the rug, as sexual trafficking and pedophilia is normalized for the wealthy, and powerful combined with the U.S. increasingly becoming a police state, as unsustainable wealth disparity becomes ever more dysfunctional. the immorality and blatant injustice of it all will strip our government of its' clothes threatening the very fabric of our democracy such as it is, not to mention peace.
