The latest chapter of the Epstein saga just hit, and it seems to me the pattern, in a positive turn for which many of us have waited, has been fractured. Most recent work has had me questioning the point of it all: one, if we were going to continue to be endlessly yanked around with excuses, delays, and outright mockery; and two, if people were going to be more concerned about themselves and their continued social media branding anyway.

It is apparent from my feed, sadly, that at least one of those two things is still true.

It is also apparent from my work for a long time now that, while the generalities of this document dump are absolutely necessary knowledge, it is likely that the global conspirators will benefit in some way from the release. There is a reason they are being released now, and that is most likely both a good and a bad thing.

For those willing to listen, perhaps finally listen, it isn’t too late. It’s late, yes, and it will take work and prayer, but this past Sunday’s Traditional Catholic Mass Gospel reading should tell us everything we need to know about God’s mercy and the number of opportunities he will give us, if only we’ll stop creating cartoons of ourselves. (St Matthew 20:1-16).

If a person can peer into what is being presented in these documents–in a way Americans didn’t peer into the release of the JFK documents, at least the ones they chose to reveal–even just the shape of it as a whole, and still feel the primary impulse to move on or create a self-indulgent cartoon caricature of ourselves, then we are not dealing with mere ignorance. We are dealing with a most insidious level of desensitization, a mass psychosis of the will, where the conscience learns to stay conveniently asleep because waking up would require a response we’re simply not wanting to make.

This is what God meant by the operation of error in 2 Thessalonians. He lets people who refuse to care keep drifting merrily into insanity.

The response to him and to the evil opposite him costs something–and if we’re not willing to pay up, we’re going to stay dumb.

I’m not claiming to know all of it, because nobody does. I have my ongoing work and ideas to lean on, sure, but sharing that won’t help the tardy today. I present today something simpler, and, frankly, more damning: the entire story itself–including the initial “conspiracy theories” going back a decade and Trump’s flippant attitude toward it months ago–is structured to keep us from landing anywhere solid, which is exactly what decades of plausible deniability is designed to do. A system built to conceal will always ‘release’ just enough to manage the pressure while preserving the machinery. And because it also operates by Revelation of the Method, it will do it in plain sight, daring you to notice and daring you even more to do nothing. It’s all one great sinister occult practice of revelation and humiliation–particularly for those who see it and, indeed, can do so little about it.

The humiliation this round? The mechanism is laughing at us because we finally got what we wanted and a depressing number of people are playing with cartoons of themselves.

This is why, in so much of my foundational work, I kept circling the same wicked physics of it all, that the Hidden Hand’s ability to tuck itself behind layers and layers of plausible deniability built an illusion of reality and even God himself. It also isn’t just the illusion of innocence for the guilty, but also the illusion of clarity for the public and perhaps even, God forbid, the illusion of innocence for the presumably innocent.

Like myself. This is why I continuously say I am working out my salvation with St Paul’s “fear and trembling,” as he calls it. I do not know everything, am fallen just as bad as anyone else, and am subject to that operation of error.

But we have to talk about this, regardless of each person’s personal holiness. We can’t just wait for someone to prove it to us, preferably someone important on the news or our favorite YouTube channel. We can’t wait for everything to be verified or to line up perfectly with our schedule.

That’s the trap. There’s always tomorrow to worry about these things.

We have to see the overall picture forming, because we’re running out of chances to do so.

This is where the older framework matters, because the evil does not begin with Epstein. It doesn’t begin with a list. It doesn’t begin with a drop. It begins in the first pages of Genesis, with an enmity God himself names and establishes, and with a war that cannot be reduced to political parties or nations. Genesis 3:15 is not just a poetic theme, although it certainly is that. It is a diagnosis, a map, a pattern, a north star, and when we ignore it or never read it or tuck it away in the realm of ancient Old Testament unimportance, we will keep misreading everything–everything–that follows, including why certain forms of evil keep returning with the same identification features.

This is why so many modern people, well-meaning ones even, can treat the Bible like a moral self-help manual, a list of do’s and don’ts or even a memo on how to be “nice,” while missing entirely the deeper layers and the deeper war for our souls: the Bible is also God telling us what our enemy does, how he hides, and what happens to a people who refuse to scout the enemy as Jesus taught when he said we must reject the leaven of the Pharisees.

Well how are we supposed to reject something we don’t even recognize?

It is exactly what St Stephen, the first martyr for Christ, saw.

In Acts 7, an absolute pivot point in salvation history occurs. Stephen is not bloviating for an Old Testament audience. He is doing something most Christians keep dodging: he is naming the pattern, and he is naming it in the faces of religious men who believed themselves to be the epitome of the moral high ground:

You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers: Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

And they crying out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and with one accord ran violently upon him. And casting him forth without the city, they stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

The key: we cannot just read this and gloss over it as we get to “more relevant” things in our lives. A few things are unavoidable here:

1. Stephen is talking directly to the same seed found in the Epstein files.
2. He is telling them that they have killed every prophet, including the Messias himself, trying to save them.
3. By extension, one might surmise the lesson is that they will always kill the prophets trying to speak truth and help people.
4. The seed seethes at this condemnation–and exposure.
5. Immediately when he identifies the seed, he receives the beatific vision–meaning that the recognition of evil as Christ commanded is the immediate precursor to his entering heaven.

I cannot emphasize that last one enough, hat tip to one Dr Douglas Haugen. That immediacy matters. They go together–an illustration that flies directly in the face of even those who would prefer just to avoid all of this evil stuff and just focus on the good things instead. What this scene suggests is that if we don’t understand the evil seed, we will fall for the god that seed spends our lives impersonating.

Those who say “all I need is Jesus” and continue glibly in their sin are doomed.

St Stephen is not merely analyzing corruption, as though this is a hobby for Q followers, which is exactly what we find in so many researchers and truth tellers concerning modern day events. He is recognizing the enmity of Genesis 3:15, which is a spiritual, metaphysical act that goes well beyond detectives and clues, and the world spawned from that seed responds the way the world always responds when the masks of plausible deniability are exposed–

Mob rule by monsters.

They grind their teeth.

They murder.

They choose Barabbas over Christ every single time.

That is what the enmity looks like when it is no longer abstract and tucked away in an Old Testament verse.

That is what the Epstein files are, regardless of what is real or doctored, verifiable or lost to the memory hole. It’s the relationship of the seeds that matters, and we must follow the first martyr’s unpopular example if we are to follow Christ.

The story of St Stephen teaches a lesson not many will want to hear: we are morally obligated to care. Refusing to see while we go happily about our lives is not neutrality or prudence. Given the number of chances we are being given by God to truly change, “refusing to see” goes well beyond a direct refusal to help children, which would be reason enough. No, I’ve realized over the years that this goes well beyond the children, beyond the second commandment, and into the realm of the more important one–the first commandment that we worship and honor God only. The children are at stake, yes, but what most commentators aren’t saying is that our eternal salvation is also at stake if we don’t turn away from those cultural and political idols Epstein is exposing, and turn away from them fast.

And so the faithful, and I mean everyday normal people trying to be faithful but not realizing the extent we must go, can end up in a strange posture of paralysis: wanting to be good, wanting to be wise, but not knowing what to do with evil that feels too big, too organized, too protected.

That paralysis itself is not accidental. It is engineered. It is what I was saying earlier with the narrative being controlled–from the initial conspiracy theories to Trump snubbing the story altogether.

It is the Revelation of the Method.

That is why the screen is not just a tool. It is a religion teacher we must reject.

God does not endlessly tolerate refusal. He warns. He waits. He sends prophets. He sends reminders. He sends mercies. Then, when a people insist on preferring the lie, God’s chastisements begin to arrive in layers, and one of the first is internal, not external: a delusion, a fog, an operation of error, where even “nice” people become unable to recognize what should have been obvious.

I believe we are in the midst of an ongoing operation of error as we speak. There are so many people I love that are not ready for what is coming.

My beloved friends and family! We have to fight past the ambush. We have to re-engineer the pattern. We have to walk backwards to see the signs–and that will involve some measure of sacrifice and pain. Consent and comfort in numbness won’t save us. We can think we’re working for peace and prudence, but in this time of human history, as important as this is, staying “nice” and not speaking up for Christ is just as bad as shouting for the life of Barabbas.

So if you feel overwhelmed by all the Epstein noise and the counter-noise and the weaponized mockery, start by not handing over your discernment to the same false systems that have lied to us for decades and gotten us here in the first place. Stop letting the plausible deniability machine dictate what you are allowed to care about. If you can be herded into apathy just because someone important hasn’t verified what God’s tiny voices are working so hard to say, then the enemy doesn’t even need to hide anymore.

This is the uncomfortable hinge of the whole piece: a person can be awake to corruption and still be spiritually asleep, which is why this story, in the end, is not mainly about Epstein.

It is about whether we really care.

It is about whether we will treat evil as real.

Not as content.

Not as a passing scandal.

Not as a red vs blue separator.

But as real. As eternal.

And if it is real and eternal, then it must matter more than anything else we’ve ever thought or done.

It must matter to the point where we give up everything for God in the most tangible of ways–we must pay the cost, name the enmity, reject the lie, refuse the trance, and put ourselves without any reservation whatsoever under Christ and his Church. Start where you actually have agency: examine your conscience, go to confession, and get the Rosary back into your hands every single day. Commit yourself to Christ’s Mother, who is the one who knows best where to find him and how to see him.

Lucifer is the angel of light and he is aping Christ’s face to the eternal damnation of billions. His mother will help you find him.

The crowd is already forming. The only question left is whether we will join the seed of Christ, with Stephen, or keep watering the seed that wants us numb and dumb until the stone that kills wakes us up in a place we will regret forever.
