The Epstein Files show that Patriarchal legal systems were set up to offer men impunity for their crimes against women Revealed: Jeffrey Epstein set up £20K meeting between ex-Labour law chief and Yemini billionaire who wanted legal advice after his son 'raped and murdered Norwegian student' "Jeffrey Epstein helped the billionaire father of a fugitive killer get legal advice from Tony Blair's former Director of Public Prosecutions, the Daily Mail can reveal today. The paedophile financier said he spoke to Lord Ken Macdonald who charged Shaher Abdulhak more than £20,000 to meet in Paris after his son Farouk fled the UK having allegedly raped and murdered Norwegian student Martine Vik Magnussen. The barrister, a co-founder of Cherie Blair's Matrix chambers, was DPP and head of the Crown Prosecution Service when Martine was found strangled in a London apartment in March 2008. Four years later, after he left the role and was succeeded by Keir Starmer, he was advising Shaher Abdulhak, a billionaire known as the 'King of Sugar' in Yemen, about his son's case, the Epstein Files show. 'He held the position of head of prosecutions, the exact same position that he would be dealing with', Epstein told Shaher in an email released by the US Department of Justice. Lord Macdonald is a serving member of the House of Lords and a Deputy High Court Judge. He says there was nothing improper about his involvement in the case. He did not deny speaking to Epstein but told the Mail he has 'no recollection' of the call in 2012 and would have been 'completely unaware of his reputation'. 23-year-old Martine Vik Magnussen was raped, strangled and dumped under rubble in the basement of a Great Portland Street flat after a night out in Mayfair to celebrate coming top of her class in her exams. Her suspected killer Farouk Abdulhak fled the UK on a flight to Cairo and then jumped on his father's private yet to Yemen, which has no extradition treaty with the UK. He has ignored years of campaigning from Martine's bereft family for him to return to Britain to face trial. The murder suspect insists her death was a 'sex accident' and taunted Martine's family recently by saying he won't return to Britain because he 'doesn't like the weather'.

Describing his purported conversation with the leading barrister to Shaher, Epstein wrote: 'I talked to him. He said rough sex cases, not unusual, autopsy would be a factor but not a big one. Drugs are not a defence, he thought he would get bail... reduced charge'. He went on to suggest that Lord Macdonald's job in the Blair government as DPP from 2003 in 2008 could help. He added: 'Norway has been putting pressure on the govt. I think you should focus on what punishment would be acceptable. Time spent? Maybe a form of house arrest? Work, charity. The high profile nature is the problem. The press will highlight any issues'. Shaher responded that Macdonald's CV 'seems well positioned' to help his family with a 'tangled web of issues'. He added: 'I think you're right, something like house arrest, plus charity work, due to his age. The cause maybe was rough sex, too much alcohol and maybe drugs'.

Nobel prize winner in Literature, Mr. Krasznahorkai thanked to Patti Smith💖💖💖 : never submit to anyone. Hungarian László Krasznahorkai, who won the Nobel Prize in literature for his surreal and anarchic novels that combine a bleak world view with mordant humor, thanked Patti Smith. László Krasznahorkai has repeatedly expressed gratitude toward Patti Smith for her artistic and personal support. Most notably, following the New York book launch of his novel Herscht 07769 in December 2024, Krasznahorkai took to Facebook to personally thank the legendary musician and poet. Smith had participated in the event by reading excerpts from the book, an act the author described as a "special honor." In his message, posted in both Hungarian and English, Krasznahorkai wrote: "I would like to personally thank Patti Smith for her wonderful reading at Tuesday evening’s book launch! She is, for many of us, a flame that will never go out. Her friendship is a special honor." He also extended thanks to Hari Kunzru for a deep conversation, and to translator Ottilie Mulzet and publishers Barbara Epler and Declan Spring. Patti Smith publicly congratulated László Krasznahorkai shortly after he was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature. On October 10, 2025, Smith shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, accompanied by a photo from their 2021 meeting in Venice. In her post, she referred to Krasznahorkai as "this modest, slowly stepping wolf" and called the Nobel decision "a noble choice." She concluded with a toast: "Let’s raise our cups to his honor! Black coffee and his gentle, mischievous smile. Congratulations!!!!" Smith has long admired Krasznahorkai’s work, previously reading at the New York launch of his novel Herscht 07769 in December 2024 and praising his literary depth. High On Rebellion #PattiSmith

"Susan Brownmiller, the feminist who proved rape was about power not passion and changed laws across America, has died at 89. Her 1975 book 'Against Our Will' transformed how the world understands sexual violence." May 15, 1935, Brooklyn, New York. Susan Brownmiller was born into a world that would try to silence women who spoke about sexual violence. She would spend her life making sure that silence ended. Brownmiller started as an actress, drawn to theater and storytelling. But by the late 1960s and early 1970s, she'd transitioned to journalism and activism, becoming a pivotal voice in the women's liberation movement that was reshaping America. In 1975, she published a book that would change everything: "Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape." Before Brownmiller, the prevailing narrative about rape was comfortable for everyone except victims. Rape was seen as a crime of passion—an uncontrollable sexual urge, a misunderstanding, something women provoked by dressing wrong or being in the wrong place. Brownmiller demolished that myth with 472 pages of research, history, and unflinching analysis. Her thesis was revolutionary and, to many, shocking: rape wasn't about sex. It was about power. It was a deliberate tool of violence and intimidation used throughout history to subjugate and control women. She traced rape through human history, starting with ancient Babylon and analyzing its systematic deployment as a weapon of war. She wrote, provocatively: "Man's discovery that his genitalia could serve as a weapon to generate fear must rank as one of the most important discoveries of prehistoric times, along with the use of fire." That comparison—rape to the discovery of fire—was calculated to offend. And it did. But it also forced people to confront the scope and deliberateness of sexual violence across millennia. Her most controversial assertion came early in the book: "Rape is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear." That sentence—"all men...all women"—enraged critics who said she was painting all men as potential rapists. Brownmiller never backed down. She was making a systemic argument: rape functioned socially to keep women afraid, whether or not every individual man participated. The book was translated into more than a dozen languages. It became required reading in women's studies programs. And critically, it catalyzed real legal change. Within years of its publication, states across America began rewriting their rape laws. Marital rape—previously legal in most states because husbands had "conjugal rights" to their wives' bodies—was criminalized. Many jurisdictions abolished the "corroborating witness rule," which had made rape convictions nearly impossible because it required a witness beyond the victim's testimony. Rape shield laws were passed to prevent defense attorneys from attacking victims' sexual histories in court. The reforms weren't perfect, and implementation varied, but "Against Our Will" provided the intellectual foundation for these changes. Susan Brownmiller didn't just write about sexual violence. She confronted the broader culture that commodified and objectified women's bodies. In what became a famous moment, she appeared on a talk show with Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy magazine. She told him she looked forward to "the day that you are willing to come out here with a cottontail attached to your rear end," just like the Playboy bunnies who served drinks at his clubs wearing demeaning costumes. It was a perfect encapsulation of her approach: direct, confrontational, refusing to let powerful men evade accountability with charm or deflection. She continued writing throughout her life. "Femininity" (1984) examined how cultural constructions of femininity constrained women. "In Our Time: Memoir of a Revolution" (1999) reflected on the women's movement she'd helped build. She taught. She lectured. She remained an unapologetically outspoken advocate into her eighties. Like many pioneering feminists, Brownmiller's later years brought tensions with younger generations. Some of her views on victim responsibility and personal safety generated controversy among feminists who felt she was placing too much burden on women to prevent their own victimization. But her fundamental insight—that rape is about power, that it's a tool of social control, that it must be fought systematically—remained her legacy. The final lines of "Against Our Will" captured her lifelong philosophy: Women must "fight back" to "redress the imbalance and rid ourselves and men of the ideology of rape." #RadicalFeminism #RadFem #Feminism #Feminist #SecondWaveFeminism #RapeCulure #Rape #SexualAssault #Susan Brownmiller, image
