25: The Construct: Jeffrey Epstein: Difference between revisions

<p><em>00:00:28</em><br>What I see when watching this video of the episode in question is a frightened 53-year-old man in an unscripted-and perhaps occasionally rambling-hour of discussion of Jeffrey Epstein. He doesn’t exactly know how to say what he has to get across, but perhaps that is because he isn’t simply a middle-aged man at all. When I look closer, I see a terrified 10- or 11-year-old boy who, many years ago, was sent to a therapist. Why was that child so terrified of going to see a therapist, you may ask? Well, because of inappropriate events set in motion by the therapist’s behavior at the first of their two meetings. That, however, was not what caused the lasting terror. Despite the therapist being a trained and established authority figure and the boy being a minor, it was possible for the boy to simply and firmly say, “No. I do not want that. You must stop.” Thus, the boy is not a survivor. He was not a victim, and he did not want a random broken person to be integrated into his life story.</p>

<em>00:01:21</em><br>Today, the man in that chair addressing the camera is simply the man that became of [that] unlucky boy who was sent to see a professionally licensed therapist who crossed his path.

<p><em>00:06:00</em><br>So, to that long-dead, and previously abandoned former self, let me just say this: “Sorry I’m a little late, kid. I, uh, became afraid that the imperfections of what I’m about to say next could derange my adult life and make me vulnerable to those who will destroy anything and anyone who threatens them using everything at their disposal. I apologize for my cowardice. It is one of many character flaws that I am working to correct, but you as a boy did nothing wrong and it will be a pleasure to stand up for you, come what may. You’re a solid kid who didn’t deserve this, and I think you deserve a better champion, but Jesus wasn’t available-so you got me instead. Let’s do this thing.”</p>
