Please, check in with your body and nervous system before reading. Step away at any time if you feel overwhelmed.

Preface

This is not a comfort essay.

What follows addresses the ways power, money, surveillance, and desire have become entangled — not by accident, but by design. I wrote this piece because I believe that the commodification of intimacy, the normalization of sexual coercion, and the use of sex as currency are among the most insidious instruments of control in this era.

When we treat bodies, consent, and connection as mere data points, we forget what it means to feel — to trust — to belong. When pleasure becomes a transaction, the body becomes collateral, and intimacy becomes a weapon.

I am not calling this a definitive manifesto. I do not claim to have all the answers. What I offer instead is a map — a fragile, bleeding-edge attempt to sketch the architecture of a system that thrives on silence, shame, and invisibility.

If you read this, read with care. Read with eyes open. And allow yourself the freedom to question everything — the structures, the “norms,” the lies we were told.

May what you learn here stir not only outrage — but also clarity.

May it offer not only critique — but also the possibility of re-imagining intimacy, power, and agency.

International Slavery as Political Capital

Here we are in 2025, post “me too,” movement— trafficking and abuse have only increased. Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein sit at the crossroads of elite finance, trafficking, and intelligence, turning sexual exploitation into a technology of cultural control over both the powerful and the weak.

Investigations and leaked correspondence of Epstein show him brokering deals and backchannels for Israeli officials and intelligence-linked figures, operating as a fixer between U.S., Israeli, and other government intelligence professionals while simultaneously running a trafficking network that abused children and women.[2][3][5][6][1]

This is not an aberration but a distilled image of how sexual violence, blackmail, and surveillance can be fused at the top of the system: the same logic that grooms ordinary men with gradually increasing violent porn, threatens to also groom presidents, prime ministers, and billionaires with addictive access to money, people, international flights, and secrecy.

When sex becomes an addictive power tool for gathering kompromat, the bodies of women, men, boys, and girls function as collateral for geopolitical deals, and the line between “national security” and organized abuse dissolves.[3][5][6][1][2]

Israel, trafficking, and porn capital

Israel is one concrete node where these forces converge: a heavily securitized state documented both as a destination and transit country for human trafficking, especially of women and migrant workers, and as a hub in regional sex-trade routes.

Human‑rights reports describe thousands of trafficked people over recent decades and criticize systemic undercounting of victims, even as legal reforms have been pushed through under international pressure.[14][15]

At the same time, Israeli entrepreneurs and investors have built and hosted sizable adult-content and cam networks, often routed through offshore companies, just as North American and European capital built conglomerates like MindGeek (Pornhub’s parent), which has been headquartered in Canada and Luxembourg and recently sold to an Ottawa‑based private equity firm. The global porn machine is not “owned by Israel” but stitched together through Western financial centers, tax havens, and tech hubs in which Israeli, U.S., European, and other corrupt leaders all participate.[11][12][13]

Global trafficking and porn as one system

The rise in global trafficking and the rise in global online porn should be read as two faces of the same political economy: both extract value from racialized, feminized, and often colonized bodies while training consumers to experience that extraction as entertainment. Porn platforms normalize the commodification and often the humiliation of women and children, while trafficking networks supply the bodies and imagery that feed both private archives and, in some cases, blackmail operations like the one many investigators argue grew around Epstein.[12][13][16][17][18][1][2][3][11][14]

Israel’s intelligence ties to Epstein, its documented trafficking routes, and its share of the digital sex economy make it a sharp example of how a state can occupy a strategic position in this matrix, but it is not unique: the United States, United Kingdom, Gulf monarchies, and European tax havens are equally woven into this web. Seeing the pattern clearly allows naming it: a transnational regime where sex, surveillance, and information are weaponized together to manage populations from the bedroom to the newsroom to the battlefield.[6][13][15][16][17][18][19][20][1][2][3][12][14].

You also notice how Instagram, TikTok, and porn accelerate this collapse by creating choice fatigue and “next best thing” conditioning. The endless scroll rewires the brain to expect constant novelty, constant stimulation, constant micro-dopamine hits. Real humans can’t compete with algorithmic abundance, so men become digitally-trained sex addicts, always scanning for the next body, the next fantasy, the next pixelated high.

Meanwhile, trauma survivors move in the opposite direction: overstimulation triggers shutdown, avoidance, freeze, and emotional withdrawal until they become sexual anorexics, not because they don’t crave connection but because their nervous system has been hijacked into equating intimacy with overwhelm.

The algorithm creates one group that can’t stop consuming and another that can’t bear to be touched — a perfect relational divide that guarantees no stable bonding, no healing, and no unified resistance to the systems benefiting from this fragmentation.

Liberation looks like removing currency from work, and work from sex, and sex from shame.

When money dictates your worth, work becomes survival instead of expression. When work becomes survival, sex becomes bargaining instead of bonding. And when sex becomes bargaining, shame becomes the leash that keeps you obedient. True liberation is the untangling of these threads — reclaiming work as purpose, not punishment; reclaiming sex as intimacy, not transaction; reclaiming your body as something sacred, not something surveilled, sold, or shamed. Every step you take toward separating these forces is a step back into your own agency, your own sovereignty, your own uncolonized humanity.

From the top down, it’s reformed laws. From the inside out, it’s a decolonized sexuality, truth telling and accountability. From the bottom up, it’s striking, reforming systems, and reclaiming space in the public and private domain without ongoing invisible violent coercion.
