The Epstein Class: Hostis Humani Generis
Friday Flashpoint: February 13 AD 2026
Hostis Humani Generis = an enemy of all mankind
Pirates and slavers were hosti humani generis, outlaws and enemies of humanity subject to pursuit and destruction by all lawful governments because of their predation. The Epstein predator network operated on a scale of elite connections not seen since the slave trade of the 19th century when leaders in Britian and America were openly profiting from trafficking human beings.
People remember the Pizzagate controversy. Pizzagate originated as a 2016 narrative alleging an elite-run trafficking ring out a Washington D.C. pizzeria and a private citizen went there armed and looking to rescue children. They were arrested and the event faded away in the multitude of events since such as COVID-19, but now with the exposure of more details regarding the Epstein-ring, many online are voicing sympathy with the Pizzagate vigilante mindset. People are angry.
Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi faced a 5-hour House Judiciary hearing this week, deflecting questions about the DOJ’s heavily redacted release of 3 million Epstein files. At one point she asserted that what Americans should focus on is the stock market, not justice. Even 45/47 asserted that the country should move on. Americans are not moving on, and asserting that they should, will only provoke them further.
The revelation of the extent of the network of Jeffrey Edward Epstein represents more than a single criminal enterprise, rather, the fact that so much remains unknown after his death in 2019 indicates that he enabled a kind of piratical revolution against civilization.
Operating across borders, and infiltrating royal families, influences CEOs, military chiefs and heads-of-government, the corruption has undermined the sovereignty and political peace of the Western world. It appears that was syndicate or Epstein-centered oligarchy network, operating as a law unto themselves and subverting governments as we have seen with accusations against British political operator Peter Benjamin Mandelson, Baron Mandelson, the former UK Ambassador to the United States. This has prompted calls for Prime Minister Sir Keir Rodney Starmer to resign. The leader of the Scottish Labour Party, Anas Sarwar has called on Starmer to stepdown as Labour is now polling third in opinion surveys with Scotland’s elections schedule for May this year. His Majesty King Charles has already made it known that he will support the police if they come for his brother the former prince, Mr. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Viewed through the lens of the established administrative state, the growth of the Epstein criminal enterprise appears to be a failure of international policing and counterintelligence. However, from the perspective of the citizens of the sovereign democracies impacted, it reveals a predatory infrastructure exploiting the bubbles around the rich and famous at a time of growing inequality. That is a recipe for a massive increase in resentment and public alienation.
While the traditional rule of law presupposes an active and responsible government morally obligated to control and constrain the powerful, the Epstein conspiracy utilized the impersonal nature of modern political structures to create a shadow-realm of elite impunity; a condition where no one would be expected to seek vengeance. This open piracy demonstrates a profound contempt for humanity.
Consequently, because of Attorney General Bondi’s behavior before Congress, the American government’s authority seems like it is being used to scab over a public wound that the people demand be lanced. The very constraints placed upon the public’s ability to seek justice have created a structural friction. From America, to Britain, the public is demanding accountability. There is a counterrevolutionary bent to the criticism. Many in MAGA no longer see the slogan and movement as populist attacks against the establishment but as the marketing ploy of an alternative, even muckier swamp.
And now they want it drained. MAGA is not moving on.
