The order beneath the world order: Epstein

As the Epstein documents are released, the picture of all the supports, foundations and principles of the order the world has been living in for years is coming into sharper focus. We had in fact expected a great deal from this order: every kind of evil, every kind of immorality. Yet these are things of which we might say we probably did not expect even this much. We kept being astonished at the world's silence in the face of the savagery we have watched for years in Gaza and Palestine, a savagery that tramples underfoot every claim of the global order to justice, human rights, equality, freedom and humanism.
We were trying to understand the matter simply in terms of human feelings that do not operate where Muslims are concerned, in terms of double standards, unprincipledness and, at best, helplessness. It turns out there was something behind it that goes beyond helplessness.
A handful of brave Izz ad-Din al-Qassam mujahideen had exposed that all the world's states were in fact captives of the global-Zionist order and that all their lands were under occupation. The only people that is not captive to this order is the people of Gaza, and the only land is Gaza. We repeated this observation again and again in the face of the incredible indifference the world displayed toward the genocide committed against Gaza. But now we are confronted with a picture that the imagination cannot reach: how these countries were taken captive, and what kind of moral corruption and what kind of blackmail regime lies behind it.
WE ARE BEYOND THE REACH OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
On tezkire.net, Veysel Karakaş says we thought these were stories, fairy tales, but it turns out we had heard very little of them even in fairy tales: "We were appealing to consciences nourished at their tables on the flesh and blood of children, begging them 'let the children not die.' While we said, 'Stop this war now,' they were eating children on the one hand and, on the other, cleaning the remains from their teeth as they addressed us. Yes, this is not a metaphor; they really were eating children. Incest, rapes, blood-curdling perversions: things beyond the bounds of imagination."
The Epstein documents show the reasons behind relationships that none of our many social-scientific minds could fit into any theory, reasons that would occur to no one. They also show that all the analyses so earnestly constructed by so many international relations analysts, with all their theoretical and practical wits, were completely empty. It turns out that all the relationships are formed and sustained through bonds and dependencies built on perverse inclinations. Rulers seized by their genitals and governed from there. It turns out phallocentrism is the greatest factor in international relations. In relationships built through the organ, neither religion nor ideology remains, and the ticket out of one's humanity can be cut very easily, and from the moment that ticket is cut, one begins to play the roles written for one inside a completely different matrix.
EVERYTHING WE CAN SEE IS THE HARBINGER OF WORSE
Some of this feeling was experienced when the WikiLeaks documents were leaked as well. But that remained at the level of rumors about names caught up in correspondence within American intelligence networks. Epstein is an entirely different explosion. I do not agree with those who call it a sewer burst; this is the order itself. Its sewer is far more dreadful, and we have not even been able to see it yet. Everything we can see is the harbinger of something worse.
There is that legendary episode about one of the American presidents who resigned out of shame, unable to bear the pressure of American society's values, simply because it came out that he had told a lie. Let us pass over that. There was also the famous case of President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. What kind of world did the public trial that formed around this incident describe to us? An America that never tolerates lying and is firmly attached to family values. The backstage, the normal state, of an America consisting of the simulations Baudrillard described is now closer to being symbolized by Epstein.
DIDN'T WE KNOW THAT THE US AND THE WEST'S SENSITIVITY ABOUT DEMOCRACY WAS A PRETEXT FOR THEIR OWN GREEDY COLONIALISM?
Had we not seen what they meant by the democracy they took to Afghanistan and Iraq, in the savagery of the Abu Ghraib prison that they delivered in the same package, and in the ISIS stagings they set up and controlled to the very end? Did we suppose that the sensitivity they displayed about women's educational rights in Afghanistan stemmed from a love of women? Did we need to see Epstein in order to see the extent of the perversion behind it?
The picture that has emerged with the Epstein documents shows us that in Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or wherever their hands have reached, they can commit every sort of filth against Muslim people that minds cannot grasp and dreams cannot reach.
Why did the war in Syria drag on for 14 years? How were hundreds of thousands of people crushed in Sednaya and other dungeons with press machines until all their blood was drained, in full view of the whole world? Which blackmail networks prevented anyone from calling a halt to so much savagery? How did drug production and trafficking worth billions of dollars every year in Afghanistan escape NATO's eye? (Or how was it kept going under NATO's supervision?) The whole world owes a debt of thanks to those who burst the sewer there, but alas, if only they were not the Taliban! Isn't it because they impose restrictions on girls' right to education? Or are these lamentations because girls can no longer be abducted at that age from other educational institutions and sacrificed to prostitution and every kind of perverted ritual in the hell of Epstein?
THE DETERMINING ROLE OF A FAR MORE FUNDAMENTAL FACTOR THAT NO ANALYSIS OF THE WORKINGS OF THE WORLD ORDER EVEN MENTIONS
The Epstein documents have shown us that a far more fundamental factor, one that no analysis even mentions, is determinant in the workings of the world order. At the top of all the politicians who are tied to a decision-making center through prostitution and perverse relationships stands Israel's MOSSAD. The documents expose by what kind of network of dirty relationships and blackmail Israel, the scourge of the world, governs the world, and what this costs humanity.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS EXPOSURE WAS POSSIBLE LARGELY THANKS TO THE WORKINGS OF A BLACKMAIL
There is evidently a punishment imposed on politicians who fail to fulfill their commitments to MOSSAD. But while this punishment is imposed on the debtor, it also exposes the blackmailer and causes him great harm as well. In this way, a serious opportunity arises to go after a criminal mechanism.
We cannot attribute Trump's inconsistencies, which make him say the opposite of what he said in the morning before noon has come, going back and forth, solely to his own personality. This exposure may have been brought about by trials of the strength of the blackmail that threatens him and that Israel has never been able to bring fully under its control. And not only his, of course.
THE WORLD IS INDEBTED TO GAZA ONCE AGAIN
While we are at it, and in closing, let us state that we owe the exposure of this filthy Epstein order in this way largely to the October 7 Al-Aqsa Flood. The resistance the brave mujahideen of Gaza displayed for 2 years against genocidal Israel would, in time, force the whole world to take a position. Even if bombs rained on Gaza, even if they gave many martyrs, even if their homes were destroyed, the whole great world they fought has also been shaken, again and again, by an earthquake of magnitude 11.7. With each shaking, the world has moved toward a new step of change. The journey continues. Let us see how far it goes.
