Broken Thrones: Epstein’s Depravity wasn’t an Anomaly — it was a Window into the Rot Ruling the World
Geoff Gilson has spent years looking into the murky corners of intelligence networks and covert arms trafficking. His investigations began not out of curiosity but out of heartbreak — following the mysterious and suspicious death of a close friend that set him on a lifelong path of uncovering what lies beneath the glossy veneer of global power.
Having recently finished reading Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Giuffre, Gilson, who was once a speechwriter for Margaret Thatcher, found himself floored by another writer’s words — not simply by the depravity described, but by what it reveals about the system itself. To Gilson, the Jeffrey Epstein saga is not an isolated horror story. It’s a symptom of a much larger disease — one that spreads through the upper echelons of global finance, politics, and intelligence.
“The pimping out of already damaged children by Epstein and his ilk doesn’t happen in a vacuum,” Gilson notes. “It’s part of a broader mosaic — a network of people so broken that they’ve lost sight of what it means to be human. These are ambitious individuals who wield tremendous influence, but they’re spiritually hollow. And that hollowness metastasizes through the systems they control.”
Gilson likens the entire sordid and depraved reality of these elites to a Ven Diagram with all the nexus of all the circles of Intelligence, arms trafficking, and sexual deviance meeting in the center.
Gilson says we are dealing with very powerful people who don’t just enjoy breaking young, fragile people by using sexual depravity; they also work assiduously to break our society for personal gain. His investigations have shown the two are always and intimately connected.
For Gilson, this isn’t a detached analysis — it’s personal. He openly describes himself as a broken person too, someone who’s walked through his own trauma and found that true healing requires confronting the darkness directly. Therapy, he says, is not just recovery — it’s revelation. “Many people approach the Epstein story like rubberneckers slowing for an accident,” Gilson says. “But it’s so much more than that. We’re staring into the souls of sociopathic people who refuse to come clean — yet sit atop the hierarchies that shape our world.”
Gilson’s insights bridge psychology, geopolitics, and morality. He argues that until society recognizes the emotional and spiritual dysfunction at the root of elite corruption, no reform or justice can take hold. His perspective reframes the Epstein narrative from mere scandal to existential mirror — forcing us to ask not just who did what, but what kind of world breeds this behavior, and why do we allow it to persist?
Geoff Gilson offers an unflinching look at the broken architecture of power — and a deeply personal reminder that the first step toward healing the world is acknowledging how broken it truly is.
Depravity doesn’t just stop with pimping out children. It is part of a larger mosaic of depravity.
