“Epstein files force us to tear up the political playbook” by Dr Ramzy Baroud in Arab News @palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai @palestine@lemmy.ml “The implications for our future understanding of power are profound. If the primary driver of high-level policy is no longer the ballot box or national interest but rather the preservation of opaque, transnational networks, then our current democratic models are essentially obsolete. We are forced to admit that the political theater we witness daily — the debates, the elections and the legislative battles — may merely be a superficial layer designed to distract from the deeper, darker mechanics of the global hierarchy” https://www.arabnews.com/node/2634245 #Press #SocialMedia #Epstein #PoliticalPower #Impact #US #Democracy #MoralAuthority
