While being shocked by what the Epstein-files have revealed about the depravity and extreme misogyny of the many rich and famous men visiting the former American financier, child sex offender, rapist and trafficker we shouldn't forget Peter J. Nygard (born 1941). This Finnish-Canadian businessman and fashion executive made headlines both before and after being convicted as a sex offender, sex trafficker and rapist. Reading about him, and at the same time remembering Epstein and his crimes, it's obvious that a pattern in the "gender war of modern times" now has been made known and proven: These wealthy and narcissistic men may seem to be creeps out of a horror movie, but, unfortunately, they are real, and their names should neither be forgotten or they themselves should be forgiven as their crimes are sent into oblivion. What they have felt free to do is a lesson to the world about what should never be accepted in a civilized society.
Having watched documentaries about Nygard what I remember the most about him is the allegations by some of his mistresses who have said that he believes that parts of a fetus are invigorating. Him, being in his eighties - and also being very vain as well as convinced of his masculine "charm" - obviously feels in the need of something invigorating to keep up his lifestyle as some kind of "Don Juan". That being said, I suppose one shouldn't be surprised that he allegedly swears in to this special "fetus-cult" which means that elderly people - maybe also women - consume parts of an aborted fetus. To me that looks, and is, something absolutely non-allowable in a civilized country as it is some kind of cannibalism. The knowledge that Peter Nygard was accused of doing something like that makes me think of the Epstein-flock of old or middle aged-men: There were allegations of cannibalism by a woman who, lo and behold, was disappeared. Cannibalism: https://www.wionews.com/world/was-jeffrey-epstein-really-involved-in-cannibalism-here-s-what-doj-files-reveal-1770370197051 - True/False? Who knows for real???????
Nygard was investigated and sentenced some years before Epstein came into focus, and there has been made documentaries about his case which is where I got the most of my information from.

Documentaries
On 17 December 2020, two days after Nygård's arrest, it was reported that Discovery+ was releasing a series about Peter Nygård's life entitled Unseamly: The Investigation of Peter Nygård. The documentary aired in February 2021, and included interviews with family members and former Nygård employees.[77][78]
On 25 January 2021, CBC Podcasts released the first episode of their podcast, Evil by Design, about the allegations against Nygård.[76] The podcast includes interviews with alleged victims. It was later adapted into a documentary series, Evil by Design: Surviving Nygård, that aired on CBC Television in 2022.[79] An episode of Dateline about the Nygård case also aired in December 2021.[80]
Personal life
Nygård has ten children with eight women.[17][81][82] Nygård has been a longtime sponsor of amateur sports in The Bahamas.
In June 2010, he was the main sponsor of the Amateur Boxing Federation
of the Bahamas team for Continental Elite Boxing Championships, an
invitation-only event in Quito, Ecuador.[83]
Honours
In 2012, Nygård was awarded a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.[84]
In 2002, Deloraine, Manitoba, where Nygård grew up, unveiled a commemorative plaque and named a park in his honour.[85] In May 2020, the park's name was changed to Prairie Sentinels Park, after Nygård was arrested and charged with sexual assault and sex trafficking.[8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To me it's intriguing that this pattern of extreme misogyny and abuse seems to be an international "trend" in certain male groups of exceedingly rich individuals. As I not only see their alleged behavior and crimes as a downward step into something that's evil beyond words, but also as some sort of defiling of life and the life forces themselves I deem it absolutely non-acceptable. Nygaard and those who partook in the Epstein-"parties" may have started out as fun-seeking, but in a way innocent individuals, but by now they seem to have turned into something inhuman.
