It is proof of how ruthless they are.<\/p>\n<p>If we briefly examine this in its economic, political and legal dimensions;<\/p>\n<h3>A Coterie Above the Law: \u201cModern Overlordship\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The hegemony of capital over states is embodied in the Epstein case. Epstein created an untouchable space, protected for decades. This is a techno-feudal structure where classical nation-state law does not work, where capital and connections create their own law (or lawlessness).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Immunity<\/strong> Epstein's very light sentence in 2008, and his subsequent activities, show how capital can influence the judicial system. <strong>\u201cto the service provider\u201d<\/strong> transformed.<\/p>\n<h3>Information and the Blackmail Economy: \u201cElites Under Surveillance\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Epstein's island and properties were in fact a massive surveillance center. According to victim testimony, every room was equipped with cameras.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn \u201dtechno-feudalism\u201c, the ownership of data and the power of surveillance are transformed into a physical blackmail network. Whoever holds the \u201ddata\" (i.e. the dark secrets) of the elites dominates them. This is a secret form of governance that goes beyond democratic processes.<\/p>\n<h3>A New Form of Hegemony<\/h3>\n<p>Rather than an individual, Epstein was a \u201cnodal point\u201d where global capital, technology (surveillance power) and \u201cpolitical connections\u201d converged. His death (or elimination) means that only one cell of this feudal structure closes, but the system itself - the hegemony of capital over states - remains.<\/p>\n<p>There is also talk of a blackmail economy in our country. We all know that the power of mafia structures derives from the illegitimate business obtained through these means.<\/p>\n<p>I hope we will experience a purification in every field with the slogan of \u201cClean politics and clean society\u201d. This is what we hope for.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Epstein, bir bireyden ziyade, k\u00fcresel sermayenin, teknolojinin (g\u00f6zetim g\u00fcc\u00fcn\u00fcn) ve \u201csiyasi ba\u011flant\u0131lar\u0131n\u201d birle\u015fti\u011fi bir &#8220;d\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm noktas\u0131&#8221; idi.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":282334,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[286],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-282333","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-yazarlar"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282333"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":282338,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282333\/revisions\/282338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
