A woman who was trafficked from Cape Town to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean and ranch in New Mexico says her entrapment was more than physical.

Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking ring extended all the way to Africa’s southern coast - held together by the invisible chains of psychological bondage that kept his victims ensnared for years at a time.

“Invisible chains is a good way to put it, it was like I was handcuffed invisibly,” says 43-year-old Juliette Bryant.

“I’d never even told my family, I never told anyone about what happened with him until he died.”

    Its so weird in our timeline seeing certain celebs get cancelled for so much as a whiff of bad news while others can continue to be a president.

    Like at the end of the day, wtf? How the hell is the West starting to look worse than Russia and China?

    If crimes go unpunished, we need a serious overhaul of our “Justice system”.

    If there are two-tiers of justice, that isn’t justice — it is corruption with a mask.

      You have a Legal Sytem. You’ve never ever had a Justice System. They are different things, though often confused.

    The fact they’re trying to really claim only two people committed crimes is fucking insane.

    And it’s not just trump, the prosecution started before Obama was in office, and they’ve known about more people for 20 years.

    But everyone who sees that list suddenly decides not to prosecute anyone else.

    Either because they’re all protecting wealthy people, or more likely everyone that gets the blackmail material decides they’d rather use it as blackmail themselves rather than bring anyone to justice.

      Also the powerful women outside of Maxwell need to be called out. Something this prolific doesn’t happen without powerful women using thier presence as a way to placate victims.
