The West's 'Adnan Hocas': What is being covered up by Epstein?

There is a deepening crisis at hand. It is not just in Turkey and its immediate surroundings; the situation in Europe, of which it is a part, presents no qualitative difference. Is that not why there is talk of a 1913-14 climate?

A sense of helplessness...

It is so, and those managing this helplessness are shouting it themselves. With 2026, we are witnessing an intense climate change. In politics. As the crisis deepens, those who think they have found a solution believe they can occupy the seats of power within the "establishment." These are the circles referred to as the far-right.

We see that the leading country, the USA, is faltering. Friedrich Merz, the Prime Minister in the name of the ruling elites of Europe's hegemon country—who is a complete Atlanticist—has declared that US leadership is shaken. His political decorum may not have allowed him to express it with such clarity, but what he meant to say was this: There is no longer a US leadership with the power to shoulder global problems alone or to steer world capitalism. But there is no other country to take its place either. Perhaps China, and that is with Russian support and through BRICS, but the Maoist/progressive tradition has entered the scene with certain brakes. It does not permit everything.

Although we have stated that we are witnessing frictions in international politics reminiscent of the dangerous developments of 110 years ago, there are also some scenes or "encounters" that occurred during World War II.

What are we implying?

THE LENINGRAD SIEGES OF OUR TIME: AGAIN?

This: The rational and scientific is retreating, and the scene is being covered by all kinds of metaphysics, aggressive grandiosity, and baseless shows of power. That is, in this new age of reaction, when we look at the sieges and murders committed against Gaza, Venezuela, and Cuba, the siege of Leningrad comes to mind. The imperialist system is under the delusion that it has the power to organize new (and more moderate) Leningrad-style sieges.

May he rest in peace, György Lukács, in the middle of the last century, analyzed how imperialism and Hitlerism walked hand in hand with irrationality. Irrationality is indeed the cement of the imperialist construct: "The disparagement of reason and logic, the uncritical glorification of intuition, the aristocratic theory of knowledge, the rejection of socio-historical progress, the creation of myths." When we look at Donald Trump's discourse and the reactions of the political classes nested in imperial centers around the world, we see that Lukács's emphasis/abstraction of irrationalism is on point. It is so.

We are in Europe. In the Europe of Germany. The EU administration, which enables the neo-Nazi government in Ukraine to continue the war and openly desires war, has, against its own wishes, begun to fuel a more widespread civil war in Europe. It seems that such a currently relatively covert period of civil war could spread to Hungary and its near neighbors. No one knows what will come out of the Hungarian elections, which are being counted down to, or who and what will follow Viktor Orban.

Let's just say, "they don't know, but they are doing it." It is clear that many pieces have been dislodged.

We have arrived there.

The deepening crisis in Turkey is accompanied by frictions on the France-Germany axis in Europe. They cannot reach a decision on who will manage the nuclear-tipped missiles and which country will be predominantly favored in EU public tenders. Everyone knows that the currently faltering German industry has been nibbling at, and even burying, French and Italian industries for decades.

Capitalism is like that. Its democracy is, too.

What is happening?

We have said all this, I suppose, to seek an answer to this question: Is there a political class in Europe capable of overcoming all these crises?

THE WEST'S ADNAN HOCAS: JEFFREY EPSTEIN CLUBS

For whom the bells toll in the EU plutocracy is unclear. But they are tolling. The elites have become unable to prevent the rottenness of this plutocracy, its metaphysical understanding of democracy, and the consequences—that is, the Jeffrey Epstein scandals. The political class cannot create political figures capable of overcoming this crisis.

It is understood that it is a "futile expectation" for the governing plutocrats, this power of billionaires, to raise politicians and experts who can overcome the deepening crisis. They are now bringing the Epstein files—this terrible filth they could not prevent from emerging—to the forefront to make people forget the depth of the crisis and that it is a problem of power.

Macron, Starmer, Meloni, Merz... Their state is obvious. Each is more vulgar than the other. A new stage in mediocrity seems to have seized power.

But the crisis continues to deepen in a way parallel to the one in Turkey.

Then it is time to bring the "Adnan Hocas" of Western democracy and their files onto the stage, thus creating a distraction. We have seen many times that the system throws such smoke bombs to distract, and similar ballast (in front of the masses) to rise. Aren't democracies, to some extent, an art of such distractions and venting for the property owners?

They must be thinking so.

The more painful part must be the void in the establishment opposition: In the EU, there are no political figures who can be taken seriously, who can be viewed through the criteria of progressivism, and who are deep and effective alternatives to power. They are not on the stage.

Is it any different from us?

In that case, throwing "Epstein Hocas" in front of the masses might be a way to save the system. Therefore, let us not be surprised that a new Epstein file is opened every day, or that plutocratic elites decide to wash even the dirty laundry of royal families in front of everyone via the media. We can consider it proof of the depth of the current crisis.

Their remedy is these dirty files; is that good?

Those who say, "Look at the remedy!" are right.
