Iran War A Mere Distraction Say Activists Projecting Epstein Files Light Show

Washington DC—One might say the anonymous light projection group that keeps staging slide shows on DC buildings has finally struck a blow at a real life “Wag The Dog” moment. Tuesday night, under cover of drizzly clouds they beamed images to 1000s of commuters reminding them the Epsteingate cover-up isn’t going away, even though the U.S. has effectively declared war on the entire Middle East. The U.S. Iran War is turning out to be a major distraction but the activists are not letting it eclipse the Epsteingate cover-up.

Activists projected a six-panel slide show onto a metro train bridge near I-395 as commuters left Washington DC on a drizzly commute. Some drivers blew their horns in support of the slide messages as they passed beneath the bridge of the light projection. The slide show bared a harsh truth that Epsteingate would not be permitted to slip behind a regional war that popped up out of nowhere. And even though the war embroiled 14 countries directly, activists refused to let it be a wide enough curtain to cover what a UN panel described as “meet[ing] the legal threshold of crimes against humanity.”

The slide included a flash of ”The files aren’t in Iran,” shaking the pretense that the U.S. Iran War is legally sound. It also illustrated the wisdom of the 1997 move ‘Wag The Dog,’ a fictional dark comedy about a president who tries to cover up a sexual scandal by fabricating a war in Albania. One couldn’t have recreated this sordid scenario any better than the present administration has, even if they had written the plot themselves. One could also say that Trump and the Epstein co-conspirators have some nerve trying to play off their Epsteingate saga under cover of their latest war, but they have.

The slides beamed “Release The Epstein Files” … “All Of Them” … “Do Right By The Victims” … and “The Files Aren’t in Iran,” in all-caps, and the slide show ended with the now famous photo of Trump and Epstein palling together at one of Epstein’s gatherings.

The activists cleared out after about an hour and before police stopped them. There were plenty of police passing by, but they either had other priority calls or just didn’t want to be bothered with a few resisters in a damp drizzle a few degrees north of freezing. The activists promised to be back at it with another theme at another location another day. They just have to recharge their batteries and scope out another prominent location. Washington Monument? Big Beautiful Ballroom? We’ll have to wait and see.

Dual Victim Classes: Sexual Assault Survivors And Veterans Of Illegal Wars

It is generally being reported that there may have been a thousand or more children coerced into trafficking and abuse rings during Epstein’s tenure in powerful circles. The slow-drip release of the Epstein files, itself a violation of the law ordering their expedient release, have taken down and destroyed the reputations of high profile people abroad.

In the UK high profile people have already been arrested. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the Brother of the King of England, and former royal prince of the Windsors, was arrested February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office, but released after 11 hours without charges.

Peter Mandelson, former UK ambassador to the US was arrested February 23 on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and was later released on bail.

While a few high profile persons linked to Epstein in the U.S. have only been forced from their positions, or forced to issue apologies, none have yet been charged. There is no sign the Department of Justice (DOJ) has even begun conducting investigations of those who had roles of varying degrees in email communications with Jeffrey Epstein.

Several high-profile persons in the US are mentioned in the files, including Trump and Lutnick. But they seem so far to be untouchable. The DOJ has blacked out the names of those presently active in government and mentioned in the Epstein files. In some cases, the DOJ has released victims’ names. This has been another traumatic experience for them aside from the abuses they suffered.

The U.S. Iran War has is victims too—those civilian innocents caught in missile and air bombings. The Veterans are victims too. For they are being dispatched by the tens of thousands to fight a war with murky justifications that seem to change by the day depending on who in the administration is answering the question of why the U.S. is involved in yet another war. These Veterans of the U.S. Iran War will return with physical and mental injuries from the stressors of war as Veterans have experienced since the country’s beginning. The stressors of this war will lead to disabilities for the rest of their lives.

The Epstein files will chase this president around the Oval office and in public circles no matter where he wages war, no matter what democratic foundations his administration breaks, and no matter who he nominates to cover the details up for him. And the file contents are likely to chase the co-conspirators no matter where they go, even after Trump’s DOJ is long gone and can no longer redact their names.

The Epstein files aren’t in Iran  They’re at the DOJ.
