An Extraordinarily Brave French Woman Sets the Stage for a Jeffery Epstein Crime Scene Solution
An Extraordinarily Brave French Woman Sets the Stage for a Jeffery Epstein Crime Scene Solution
Gisèle Pelicot Calls on Victims to ‘Never Have Shame’ in Her First TV Interview.
You may not have heard of Gisèle, as the horrors forced upon her occurred in France. But she has a message for Epstein survivors, as well as all children and women who suffer rape and sexual abuse, that could change the Trumped-up failings of America’s Department of Justice.
Her husband, whom she considered “a great guy” and had shared her life with for 50 years had, for nearly a decade, crushed sleeping tablets and anti-anxiety medication into her mashed potato, coffee or ice-cream, and invited dozens of men to rape her in a village in south-east France, where the couple had retired. On each occasion, she had been in a state akin to a coma. A total of 51 men, including her husband, were found guilty of rape or sexual assault and are now in prison. Fortunately, she has no memory of the events, and only became aware after evidence by others, resulting in trial.
She said at the time, “Shame sticks to you, it sticks to your skin. And that shame is a double sentence, it’s a suffering you inflict upon yourself.” Largely because of that, most rape trials are private, and many not reported at all, supposedly to protect the reputation of the woman.
Gisèle decided the trial must be public, instead of behind closed doors. “I said to myself that fighting against that on an individual level was also fighting for the collective. I said if I could do it, other people could too … My message of hope to all victims is never have shame.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi, who heads the Department of Justice, is determined to keep the Jeffery Epstein crimes behind the most closed of all doors…denials and redactions.
There they will stay, if she has her way, until the public wearies of the stories, as well as the perpetrators (who many feel may include the president of the United States), fade into the background, the victims are paid sufficiently for silence, and the mid-term elections are over.
Many wealthy and powerful people would like very much to see that happen.
The criminal attacks against Gisèle Pelicot were horrific but, (and not to make them less) she was an adult. The Epstein crimes were against children, and cannot remain unpunished.
A decade ago, there was a Me-Too Movement, exposing the widespread, systemic nature of sexual harassment and assault, primarily against women.
The punishment for those crimes depended entirely upon women willing to stand up among the accusations and declare it happened to “me too.”
That was brave, and those who stood were heroes. Gisèle Pelicot stood as bravely (and entirely alone) before the public during her trial in France. When she appeared during recesses in her ordeal, perhaps to her surprise, she was cheered as a hero.
The victims of Jeffrey Epstein on his criminal island must stand, identify themselves, decare ‘me too’ and point out those who criminally attacked them.
They know, and if they don’t know them by name, they recognize the photos.
Without specific victims, who were children at the time, and specific attackers, there is only speculation, conveniently covered by redaction. Redactions (claiming to be protecting the victims) work more for the men and way less for the children. Were specific politicians, celebrities and billionaires involved? Photographs would suggest they were. Is sexual contact (with or without coercion) with a female child under the age of eighteen a crime?
Certainly, it is.
Is the coverup of evidence under these circumstances by Pam Bondi, the United States Attorney General, a crime in itself?
History tells us that it is, and has been punished.
Richard Nixon’s Attorney General, John Mitchell, helped cover up the Watergate burglary, including approving illegal intelligence activities and then lying under oath to conceal White House involvement. Mitchell served a year and a half in federal prison and remains the highest-ranking U.S. law-enforcement official ever imprisoned for crimes committed in office.
Pam Bondi may join that rank.
But only if the curtain of redactions is pulled back, and victims testify without shame.
Remember the words of a very wise and brave French woman: “Shame sticks to you, it sticks to your skin. And that shame is a double sentence, it’s a suffering you inflict on yourself.”
History often offers solutions at the very time they’re required.
But we, and the children who suffered these crimes, have to seize the moment.
Rape super star? Books translated in 22 languages, sold all over the world? Best seller in the UK and Canada? How well plotted was that? How many billionaires organized that worldwide release of indignation? New lover? Legion of Honor? Meeting with the Queen? Living on an island, 500 miles away? All this from rape victim super star! A few weeks after the end of the trial where she showed “admirable courage” etc. The official line is that women ought not to be ashamed of rape, etc.
A rape trial in France can be conducted as “huit clos” , i.e., behind closed doors. Gisèle Pelicot decided to not allow this.
Her husband had got caught by local police when he was arrested for taking pictures below women skirts in supermarkets, and they looked inside his phone. Curiously for a country where the Internet is watched so much, the advertising for the “Belle Endormie” seemed to have been all over the Internet… But “they” were not caught that way. Who exactly is “they”, did we catch all of “they”... Of this I am far from sure.
Her own daughter accused her mother of being a liar about not remembering that she (the daughter) was also sexually abused. Yes, “French justice” decided that Gisele was a super star victim, etc.
However the French judicial system has been pedocriminality friendly and Islam friendly and inimical to simple folks. The colossal advertising given to the Gisèle story grabs all the attention, and masks the real intrusion of "justice" in the French political process, which has been severely engaged against at least half a dozen of the most prominent opponents of the present para-socialist government.
Gisèle’s story, however sad, if it is really all what “justice” has so far found it to be true, is fundamentally *simply* a case involving a criminal mind known to have raped and nearly killed another woman (he recognized it; DNA identified) and maybe killed still another. (I was personally aggressed in the past several times with deadly force, so I am not aggressor-friendly… )
In their massive political interference, French judges are following the "French Theory" mindset ruining France (up to 67% tax burden, including the AVT, and even beyond that; association budget higher than research plus higher education; health care system undergoing collapse with 94% medical deserts...) If one digs a bit, one find French justice super stars like Magali Lafourcade to be financed by foreign billionaires originally making their fortune in coal thanks to the decomposition of the USSR and Putin friendly Europe (allusion to Kretinsky and his control of Le Monde through watchdog Lafourcade)..
Notice that in the USA, many elements of the justice system tried to prevent Donald Trump from being elected president, apparently copying what was done in France. They failed in the USA, they succeeded in France. Why? Because there is more local democracy in the USA and the justice system is NOT unified in the USA. It is in France, where it is much more of an intrinsically fascist structure.
Possibly the Gisele story is not finished, because her daughter's accusations carry penal weight in France: non-assistance to a person in danger, especially if that person is a child (it is not as much a crime in the USA). The Epstein inquiry has just been reopened (several of the principals in the Epstein saga are French and two of them already assassinated... in France... Murders unsolved...) Pedocriminality was presented in France by the "French theory" stars (like De Beauvoir and Sartre initially, and then dozens of others) as the "New Sexuality" against "Bourgeois Norms". The pedocriminal-friendly laws have been slightly corrected already...
There again, as when presenting the fear of fundamentalist Islam as a form of racism, the real aim has been distraction: meanwhile the French billionaire class, owner of all the media of note, was sending all French industry to China and other countries with which interesting deals could be made... With the active encouragement of the European Commission under the pretext of fighting for freedom of trade and saving the planet (apparently from big bad Europe), and the official policy of "degrowth" (in practice, price of electricity sometimes multiplied by ten, as all the money is spent on windmills and solar panels made in China).
At this point French judges are the main force preventing the French “Populists”t from coming to power… This is not opinion, but just succinctly describing what the noisiest judges themselves say..The present system, for the last 46 years has been, under the cover of “socialism” to deprive the lower classes of the French population of agency… Now by invalidating their candidates judicially, by hook or by crook. Advertising Gisèle covers it all up… Just as it covers the long standing pedocriminality (often state sponsored, see Gabriel Matzneff): the perpetrators are not on trial)
At this point omerta must be the rule of Gisèle Pelicot’s family: since the mom hit the jackpot, the children and even the criminal husband, have to fall into line. So the real reality may never be officially uncovered… Except, perhaps, as so many things, with the AI of the future, when probabilities will be rolled out to explain how it is that a woman can be raped thousands of times without noticing it.
A friend of mine towards whom I rolled that theory with the appearance of innocence got all incensed, because, she said, in substance, women blackout all the time and men ought not to rape them then, it’s the most serious crime.
Several remarks: except when undergoing surgery, I have never blacked out, even with broken bones (because I was generally self-rescueing, and as in July 2025 going down a mountain with a broken left arm, blackout meant falling to my death….Also I don’t do drinks, alcohol, or drugs. Never have. My experience with ingesting alcohol is limited to fondue. Once in the Andes, on a high mountain bivy my partner gave me half of the sleeping pill he was taking, a trick he was using at high altitude, and, being totally unaccustomed to sedatives I got paralyzed… So I never tried a sleeping pill again… (I had that problem after surgery too…)
However, I have interviewed many individuals who recognized that blackout with alcohol was an important sexual strategy… Both perpetrators and so-called victims. So face it as a society:alcohol is rape drug and so is pot: women doing either often do not remember the next day what happened.:
That observation is of more potential global impact than the strange case of a woman finding dignity in being married to a serial killer for 50 years…. Without suspecting it at all, naturally.
