Lebanese writer: The Epstein case reveals a global moral collapse and elite complicity
2-5-2026
The Lebanese writer Nidal Issa asserted on Thursday that the case of American businessman Jeffrey Epstein has transcended its criminal framework, becoming a blatant example of global moral decay and revealing deep collusion within political and economic elite circles. In a statement to Al –
Maalomah News Agency, Issa said, “Epstein established a complex network of influence through which he lured powerful figures, transforming human desires into tools of blackmail and leverage in international decision-making centers.” He pointed out that “his possession of files and secrets on these figures made silence a condition for their continued positions.” Issa
added that “controlling underage girls was not an isolated crime, but rather a means of subjugating minds by shattering taboos and creating a coercive relationship between the perpetrator and the witness.” He further noted that “Epstein’s network deliberately commodified religious and political symbols in an attempt to undermine the sanctity of the sacred and subject it to the power of money.”
He pointed out that “the delay in uncovering the case was not so much a security failure as it was a structural collusion,” explaining that Epstein’s relationships with prominent political figures reflect the fragility of moral values within circles of influence, where personal relationships become shields that obscure the truth.
Issa concluded by saying that “Epstein’s downfall serves as a reminder that when power is divorced from moral oversight, it becomes a danger that threatens societies,” emphasizing that “the truth remains unbuyable, no matter how much money influences it.”
