Michael Shellenberger: We deserve to know truth about Epstein Files

There is a powerful and secretive deep state capable of keeping classified information, such as the Jeffrey Epstein and JFK assassination files, tightly sealed for decades.

Michael Shellenberger discusses the contrasting transparency seen recently with JFK files versus the continued secrecy surrounding the Epstein files. He highlights that the Epstein case likely involves sex blackmail operations linked to intelligence agencies, possibly including the CIA and Mossad.

Schellenberger points out that while the Trump administration pushed for disclosures in the JFK files, the Epstein files remain largely closed, suggesting a deep internal conflict within the intelligence community and political establishment.

He also notes the importance of the MAGA base as an independent force demanding more transparency, despite reluctance from leadership.

This insight reveals that much of the truth about these historic and ongoing scandals is still hidden by powerful interests within the "deep state."

• A powerful deep state holds many secrets and may even have layers beneath it.
• The Epstein files' non-release shows the MAGA base independently challenges official dismissal and demands transparency.

• Donald Trump associates Epstein and JFK files, showing discomfort on Epstein but openness on JFK.
• Trump’s awareness of Epstein files issue contrasts with others who remain oblivious, indicating hidden knowledge.
