The Illusion of Progress

We live in an era of curated shock, where the public is directed to recoil at the depravity of high-profile predators, yet remains blind to the industrial-scale brutality operating in plain sight.
The reality is far more chilling: we haven't ended the era of blood sacrifice; we have simply sterilized and sold it to the masses. What was once tribal ritual has been rebranded as "routine medical care" and "social policy."
The Statistics of Indifference

Medicalized Mutilation: A four-millennium legacy of genital trauma is now marketed as a standard health procedure, stripped of its ritual mask but retaining its physical and psychological toll.
The 2-per-Second Reality: While the world fixates on the latest scandal, statistics from sources like Worldometers suggest a staggering rate of nearly two unborn lives terminated every second worldwide.
We are a society that condemns the monster in the headlines while subsidizing the machinery of systemic violence. If we are appalled by the crimes of an individual but indifferent to the globalized slaughter of the most vulnerable,
our moral compass isn't just broken—it’s being used against us. Image

The "Moralism" Paradox: A Rededication or a Distraction? 🇺🇸⚖️

Why this "Religious Moralism" is hitting a wall:

The Shadow of the Epstein Files: Critics argue that using "Christ is King" rhetoric is a jarring pivot for a leader whose name appears frequently in the unsealed
Jeffrey Epstein documents. The contrast between the "National Jubilee of Prayer" and the documented history of high-stakes hedonism creates a hypocrisy gap that is becoming harder to bridge.
A "Holiness" Shield:
This religious fervor is an attempt to "wash away" legal and ethical scrutiny. By framing himself as the protector of the faith, the President is essentially positioning any criticism of his character as an attack on God—a move that many see as a dangerous

ABOUT THE JEWISH PRACTICE OF GENITAL MUTILATION - ADDITIONAL DETAILS

In the Abrahamic tradition, it became a mark of ownership.
The shift to infancy is the crucial "psychotic" turn—it ensures the victim can never remember being whole.
The "Reprisal" of Joshua: Biblical texts suggest that after the Exodus, those who were "lax" in Egypt were forced to undergo a "second" sharper circumcision. This highlights the practice as a tool of political and religious enforcement over the body.
Babylonian Wholeness: The Babylonians (along with Greeks and Romans later) famously viewed the practice as a mutilation. The Jews' refusal to conform to this "wholeness" during the exile is what turned a tribal custom into a permanent, identity-defining trauma.

THE EPSTEIN MIRROR: WHY YOUR SHOCK IS A LIE
/////////////////
The "shock" over Epstein is a hollow mask if it doesn't confront the foundational psychopathy that makes such exploitation possible.
When the headlines scream of Jeffrey Epstein’s network, the world responds with
a well-rehearsed performance of horror. We cry out, "How can this happen?" as if we aren't the same civilization that has spent millennia codifying the ownership of the vulnerable into our laws and rituals.

If you are shocked by the trafficking of children but silent about the
systematic "routine" harms we inflict on the innocent, your moral compass isn't broken—it’s non-existent.

The 4,000-Year-Old Injunction

For forty centuries, humanity has accepted a psychotic injunction: the ritual mutilation of male infants.

The Psychopathy of the Routine: Why We Mutilate Our Sons

Millions of men in the West live with the reality of genital mutilation—labeled "circumcision" to sanitize the act—without ever questioning its origin. For most, it was a sterile, hospital-room transaction:
an infant whisked away, a blade applied to the most intimate part of his body, and a lifetime of physical alteration enacted before he could speak his own name.

We are told this is "what everyone does." But we must ask: How does such madness become mundane?
The Sovereign Body vs. Institutional Psychopathy

At the heart of this practice lies a fundamental psychopathy of ownership. It is the belief that the sovereign body of an individual can be superseded by the whims, traditions, or "rituals" of the collective.

The Common Denominator: Your Body is Not Your Own

//////////

We live in a culture of selective horror. We scream at the headlines of trafficking and the depravity of the Epstein list, yet we shrug at the "routine" cutting of an infant’s genitals.
We pretend these are different worlds, different categories of morality.

They aren’t.

If you are looking for the "how" behind the most horrific acts of child exploitation, stop looking at the perpetrators and start looking at the principle.
The common denominator between ritualized mutilation and the trafficking of children is the same dark logic: The sovereignty of the individual body is a myth.

The Psychopathy of Ownership

Whether it is a sterile hospital room, a religious ritual, or a dark room in a private

The Uncomfortable Truth: Why We’re Not Truly Shocked by Epstein

The news cycle erupts every time a new name is unsealed or a new detail of the Epstein network emerges.

The public performs a ritual of collective gasping, asking the same weary question:
"How is this possible in a civilized society?"

But if we are being honest—brutally, historically honest—we aren't shocked. We are just uncomfortable.

We live in a world that has spent 4,000 years institutionalizing the torture of infants through
ritual and routine genital mutilation. For millennia, we have accepted the physical branding and non-consensual cutting of the most vulnerable as "culture" "religion" or "tradition." We have normalized the idea that an infant’s body is not their own,
