Power Without Conscience: Sarah McCarthy and Dr. Mark Mostert shine a light on how power, when divorced from conscience, becomes a weapon. They unravel how the powerful manipulate systems, exploit the vulnerable, and justify their wrongdoing through money, influence, and media control.
It started with a diary and a blue butterfly, proof of horrors the powerful swore did not exist. Author Sarah McCarthy exposes the Epstein network not as scandal but as system: intelligence ties, blackmail, and experiments on the innocent, all hidden behind polished lies. Then Dr. Mark Mostert of Able Americans tears into Uber and a culture that tramples the disabled, reminding us that justice is not a slogan, it is a duty. From exploitation to indifference, the thread is the same: power without conscience. On The Next Steps Show, we rip the curtain back. Truth still matters, and it demands we act.

Power Without Conscience
From Epstein’s Network to Corporate Hypocrisy: Confronting the Abuse of Power
Podcast: The Next Steps Show with Peter Vazquez
Guests: Sarah McCarthy, Dr. Mark Mostert
Produced by: The Voice of Liberty Network
Runtime: ~48 minutes
🎙️ Episode Summary
In this powerful episode of The Next Steps Show, host Peter Vazquez tackles corruption at every level—from Jeffrey Epstein’s global trafficking operation to Uber’s modern discrimination against the disabled.
Author Sarah McCarthy, joining from South Africa, exposes the truth behind her new book The Blue Butterfly: The Survivor, The Diary, and The Lie—a first-hand account of one survivor’s ordeal and the intelligence networks that enabled Epstein’s crimes. McCarthy reveals disturbing links to Mossad and the CIA, the suppression of witnesses, and the medical experiments that made Epstein more than just a predator—he was a tool of state-sanctioned depravity.
Then, Dr. Mark Mostert, senior researcher at Able Americans, joins the conversation to expose how Uber’s policies continue to harm disabled riders despite repeated Department of Justice lawsuits. Together, they confront a society where power often operates without moral restraint—what Vazquez calls “Power Without Conscience.”
The conversation explores the deeper crisis of our time: when those with authority abandon integrity, institutions collapse. Faith, courage, and truth remain the only antidotes.

✍️ Episode Transcript
This podcast is brought to you by Open Door Mission—restoring hope and changing lives.
Mira la izquierda, mira la derecha—what do you see? In a world that changes daily, what will you do next? Every collapse begins when truth bows to comfort and courage yields to fear. Yet when conviction returns—when we choose to see, to speak, to stand—the powerful shake in their boots, the forgotten rise, and the darkness loses its grip. I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world than stand with the world and be judged by God.
Behind global powers lie the lies, the cover-ups, and the courage it takes to expose them. My guest today embodies that courage. She wrote a book titled The Blue Butterfly: The Survivor, the Diary, and the Lie. She is Sarah McCarthy, and she joins us to discuss the true story behind Jeffrey Epstein’s network.
Sarah grew up in South Africa during the post-apartheid era, a time far more nuanced than the media portrays. Her family supported the Democratic Party, opposing apartheid, which opened her eyes to the power of propaganda and media distortion.
Her book was inspired by her friend Juliet, who was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. Through interviews, a diary from 2002, and photographs from disposable cameras, Juliet documented her experiences on Epstein’s island, in Paris apartments, and at Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.
Sarah explains that Epstein was not just a wealthy predator. He was connected to powerful intelligence networks and global elites. She spoke with Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who confirmed that Epstein worked with both Israeli and American intelligence figures, including Robert Maxwell. Epstein often bragged that he worked for the CIA, using promises and threats to control his victims. Sarah believes he operated within a larger state-sanctioned network with interests in transhumanism, eugenics, and AI—conducting medical experiments on trafficked girls.
She recounts an instance in which Epstein told Juliet that he worked for both the CIA and Mossad, threatening her family to ensure her compliance. Juliet met Bill Clinton during one of Epstein’s trips to Cape Town in 2002. Clinton’s presence gave Epstein legitimacy, Sarah says, while the media worked hard to frame Epstein’s crimes as connected to Trump despite no evidence of involvement.
Her book is available through Trine Day and Amazon, and she welcomes information from potential witnesses or survivors at withlovefromafrica@gmail.com

Later in the show, the topic turns from global trafficking to corporate accountability. On September 11, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Uber for discriminating against riders with disabilities. One in four Americans lives with a disability, yet Uber drivers repeatedly denied service to disabled passengers, veterans, and amputees.
Dr. Mark Mostert, senior researcher at Able Americans, joined the conversation. He noted that Uber had already been sued in 2021 for charging “wait time fees” to disabled riders who needed more than two minutes to board. Uber settled that lawsuit, refunded millions, and promised reform—yet discrimination continues.
Dr. Mostert explained that this pattern reflects arrogance and a lack of accountability. Uber claims to train drivers through online videos, but those measures clearly have not reached the ground level. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 forbids this kind of discrimination, yet enforcement remains weak.
Able Americans, part of the National Center for Public Policy Research, advocates smarter governance, not bloated bureaucracy. Rather than throwing more money at ineffective programs, Dr. Mostert argues for targeted policies that deliver real services faster and more efficiently. He warns that both federal and state programs are clogged with waste and red tape that harm the very people they claim to help.
He reminds us that disabled Americans and their caregivers represent over 100 million people nationwide, many of whom are left behind by government inefficiency. Instead of more laws, Mostert believes corporations should be held accountable, and markets should reward those who treat customers with dignity. Equal access to transportation, he says, is not a privilege but a civil right.
In a lighter moment, Dr. Mostert shared his background as an opera singer and classical musician from Johannesburg. He has spent decades advising universities, governments, and even the United Nations on disability policy. Yet despite treaties and good intentions, he notes that too many countries lack the infrastructure or willpower to make those promises real.
Back in the United States, he points to an uncomfortable truth: people with disabilities are still chronically underemployed, not because they cannot work, but because businesses misunderstand their potential. Companies often fear lawsuits instead of seeking solutions. Mostert advocates educating employers on the capabilities of disabled workers and on simple accommodations that could open doors to millions.
He shared that only four percent of hotels along the Virginia Beach waterfront offer accessible rooms—proof that even in 2025, businesses are missing both a moral and financial opportunity. The disability community controls roughly $200 billion in annual spending, a market ignored by most corporations.
He calls for empathy, education, and the recognition that accessibility is not just a legal requirement but a moral one. Free-market principles—competition, transparency, and personal responsibility—can drive better results than bloated bureaucracy ever has.
As the show closes, I remind listeners that accessibility is not just a civil right; it is a birthright. Twenty-eight percent of Americans live with disabilities, representing both a moral calling and a market opportunity. Disabled riders, know your rights. Disabled Americans, stand strong. Be a leader.
God bless these United States of America, and never let a second go by where you are not a voice for liberty.
