Good morning. Hope everyone had a great long weekend.
I put up a poll on the Arbitrage Andy Instagram for the topic to cover today, either:
The Epstein cover-up
The dating/sex/relationship crisis in 2025
Epstein won—though the other one’s deeply connected.
Because a culture of weak men, institutional rot, and elite corruption is exactly why both exist. I’ve got more to say on all this later, especially how it ties into everything I’ve been writing about over the years—about trust, power, and how the world really works beneath the surface.
Apathetic men are a major driving factor of not only the collapse of healthy sexual/dating dynamics in the face of 3rd wave feminism and the decades long war on masculinity — but also the primary reason why tyrannical governments and oppressive individuals continue to reign over us with unchecked impunity these days.
It’s the reason why we keep tolerating disgusting transgressions against liberty and decency across the West.
Normies go about their day unaware, or simply desensitized to the utter absurdity of how far the Overton Window has moved in the US and other Western countries.
Many seem to be in this trance, simply getting by each day.
As long as men stay soft, sedated, and scared of confrontation, the people in charge can keep doing whatever the hell they want—whether it’s hiding client lists, rewriting history, or mutilating reality itself.
In a move that feels like the final shovel of dirt on a long-buried scandal, the DOJ and FBI have officially closed the book on Jeffrey Epstein.
A newly released memo from the Justice Department and FBI under the Trump administration states that investigators found no evidence Jeffrey Epstein was murdered, maintained a “client list,” or blackmailed powerful individuals.
Despite years of speculation, anticipation, internet sleuthing, and bipartisan suspicion, the Feds say they found nothing criminal beyond Ghislaine Maxwell. Promises of transparency from the Trump admin, Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, and others have evaporated. The files will remain sealed—citing victim privacy.
The timing?
Quietly dropped over July 4 weekend. Naturally.
“The Epstein client list is on my desk right now to review.”
— Pam Bondi - February 2025
This is the most recent event in the US (on a long list) that indicates just how far the rot in our country has spread and how little regard those in power have for truth, accountability, or public perception. When institutions would rather gaslight you than confront reality, you know the system is not broken.
It’s functioning exactly as intended.
The Epstein story is just the latest reminder: evil wins when good men are too weak to stop it or act.
So today we’re going to cover:
the truth about Epstein and his operation
what this says about our relationship with government
the role of men in combatting the institutional rot plaguing our nation
is anyone going to end up doing anything about it?
“He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must either be a beast or a god.”
—Aristotle
What’s The Truth?
Jeffrey Epstein’s rise and fall remains one of the darkest open secrets in modern elite circles and history.
