Steven DeLay

Four works in Christian existentialism--Before God, In the Spirit, Faint Not, This Present World.

Next week marks the tenth anniversary of receiving what my solicitor, David Hinde, at the time wryly termed “an informal notification of a catastrophic failure.” Despite its containing three peer-reviewed publications, my @UniofOxford DPhil thesis received the lowest exam result possible, being failed so severely so as not even to be awarded a consolatory MLitt. I received this unprecedented decision at 7:30 in the evening on a Friday by email from a Faculty of Philosophy administrator, who only sent me an unsigned and undated Examiners’ Report. It took months before I received the proper documentation from the University Exam Schools, and I later learned that the Faculty of Philosophy Graduate Studies Committee took its decision without ever even bothering to look at the Examiners' Report. At the time, I was already in the midst of fighting off a cancellation campaign, in which I was being slandered in the student newspapers (the editor-in-chief of the Cherwell who wrote the initial false and defamatory article about me was a fellow philosophy student) and being threatened with potential expulsion from my college @ChCh_Oxford. I appealed the viva decision, and the Senior Proctor, Mark Whittow, upheld my appeal and voided the result. I then sat for a second viva, passed, took the degree, and then turned my attention to working on Phenomenology in France, which I had already signed a contract with @routledgebooks to write before submitting my successful academic appeal. Whittow died shortly thereafter in a car accident on the M40. And Hinde ended up in a coma from a road accident of his own in 2021. The events in question played a large part in why a cabal of dons at my college subsequently expended millions of pounds trying to remove @MartynPercy as the head of the college. (In 2016, Martyn had written me a letter of support. When I posted that letter publicly in 2017, the dons decided to attempt to remove him as dean in order to discredit the information the letter disclosed.) To date, nobody involved in what was done to Martyn or me has been held responsible, even though the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor of Oxford had to warn the culprits that they were in danger of facing jail time according to the @ChtyCommission, if they didn’t finally stop. During the time of the irregular viva and the cancellation campaign, and then in turn the fallout with the Percy Affair, multiple journalists from the @thetimes, @Telegraph, @guardian, @BBCNews, and @SpeechUnion knew the real story, yet never reported it. Furthermore, Christ Church’s Governance Review, which was launched in response to the Charity Commission’s legal warning, made no mention of the underlying facts that triggered the Percy scandal. I’m glad to have chosen to focus on my work over the years, rather than wasting my time seeking public vindication or institutional justice. Believe it or not, what I’ve recounted here only begins to scratch the surface of what’s gone on for the last ten years. I simply mention what I have mentioned so that those who read of it might be encouraged to persevere in whatever it is that they find themselves called to accomplish—when others tell you that something is impossible, don’t listen to them. Nothing is impossible with God.

#q=Steven+DeLay" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">philreviews.org/#q=Steven+DeLay I noticed that the Philreviews database had failed to include a number of reviews of my work, including reviews from Publishers Weekly and the Philosophical Quarterly. After writing them to draw their attention to the omissions that still remained to be indexed, they did so in just minutes. If you're someone who notices gaps in the catalogue, you should certainly write them, so that the database is perfected as the work continues.

You can just do things

2020: “You’re a conspiracy theorist.” 2026: “How did you know all of this?”

@OwenShroyer1776 Stop playing dumb about Vance. x.com/StevenDeLay4/s…

Netanyahu...lied? Shocker.

I'm in the Epstein files. In October 2020, an FBI Boston agent emails his superiors, offering to "speak about" me amidst the ongoing Epstein coverup at Harvard and MIT. Whom did he contact, and what did he want to discuss?

I've decided to go.

Thanks to the generosity of the McDonald Agape Foundation, the Chinese translation of Phenomenology in France is indeed happening.

@RepNancyMace Please retrieve the names of the FBI agents whom the DOJ illegally redacted in this file discussing me. x.com/StevenDeLay4/s…

For years, our justice system has repeatedly failed the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. The delays, the redactions, the cover-ups. Enough is enough. These victims deserve answers.

Whitney Webb has been asked since last August to debate or engage with me in some fashion, and refuses. Instead, she has chosen to weave one of her classic “webs” to suggest that I am financially compromised. Out of curiosity, has she ever revealed her own funding sources?

.@mtracey and others in recent weeks have been claiming that the Epstein Affair is a “moral panic” reminiscent of the so-called “satanic panic” of the 1980s. Knowing this was a rhetorical sleight-of-hand that would be used in order to downplay the scandal after the files were eventually released, I decided last September to dedicate the beginning stretch of my discussion of True Detective Season 3 with Thomas Millary at @CinemaPsyop to summarizing the incontrovertible, overwhelming proof of ritual abuse scandals and pedophile network coverups. (North Fox Island, Finders, Boystown, Presidio, McMartin, and Dutroux, among others.) As I demonstrated in the course of that discussion, the existence of such scandals has never been a matter of legitimate dispute. Nor is the existence of such crimes a matter of sincere debate. The pervasive and ongoing reality of these crimes is public record. The time for debate is long over. There are simply those who acknowledge and address these evils, and those who don’t. For that reason, even when the Epstein Affair had receded from the news cycle and the public consciousness during the doldrums of 2022, 2023, and 2024, I never ceased insisting that it is the single worst corruption scandal in American history, and that there is no other matter facing the nation of more importance. That’s why at the end of the episode, I also called on @JDVance to address the nation, and assure the American people that he and the Trump administration would finally deliver the justice that was promised. And yet, today the DoJ still refuses to release all the files that the Epstein Transparency Act requires be released, there have been no significant arrests made of any of Epstein's clients or co-conspirators, and thus we are still waiting for that promise to be fulfilled. I ask anyone who is following or reporting on the Epstein Affair and wants justice finally to be served after decades of lies and distractions to listen to this episode and share it as widely as possible, so that we might once and for all dispense with the utterly ridiculous suggestion that the Epstein Affair is a "moral panic." @elonmusk @RealAlexJones @TuckerCarlson @OwenShroyer1776 @HealthRanger @barnes_law @RealCandaceO @OwenBenjamin @samtripoli @realStockes @jaydyer @JamieLHanshaw @JohnnyVedmore @_whitneywebb @DBrozeLiveFree @AmberWoods100 @KyleSeraphin @MikeBenzCyber @ShawnRyan762 @martyrmade @macroaggressio3 @JMCDelingpole @RyLiberty @bobby_capucci @WilliamRamseyIn @HowleyReporter @MarcoPolo501c3 @RepThomasMassie

.@_whitneywebb, in the wake of last month's arrests of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Lord Mandelson, the resignations of Larry Summers and Borge Brende, and the depositions of Hillary and Bill Clinton before the House Oversight Committee, I'd like to once again issue my call for a public Epstein files discussion at @ChCh_Oxford. @mtracey has already very kindly agreed to participate. If you would like to join us, let us know. @JDVance, @Nigel_Farage, @peterthiel, @jtworr, @TuckerCarlson, @CamillaTominey, @andrewbillen, and @toadmeister are all invited to attend what frankly is a long overdue discussion concerning whether the American and British people should have any confidence in their public institutions.

This is untrue, @mtracey. The tunnels were indeed discovered. There are a number of other legitimate scandals that deserve attention also: North Fox Island, Finders, Presidio, and Dutroux, among others. If you would, could you tag the others whom I invited to the Oxford Epstein files discussion? They should formally respond to the proposal.

@NickJFuentes @goyabeangroyper @SenseReceptor Told you not to trust her.

@SenseReceptor Totally idiotic. Pathetic.

🤯Whitney Webb pitches mind-blowing theory on Joe Kent's real narrative purpose: engineer "anti-semitic, right-leaning domestic terrorists" to feed to the "pre-crime" machine: "[Kent's] an intelligence officer and top CIA guy." "Be careful in trusting 'former spooks' who come out of nowhere and are saying what you want to hear right away." "Basically, the first Trump administration defined the rising domestic terror threat because after 9/11 they've been building all this infrastructure for a war on domestic terror. Every administration has advanced it, Democrat and Republican. So who are they saying the domestic terrorists are? Anti-Semitic Right-leaning populists." "I worry when people from that exact nexus that existed in [Trump's first administration] come out and are trying to get Right-leaning populists in particular to do things that the Trump administration itself—even if no one else agrees with the definition—would define as anti-Semitic." This clip of Webb (@_whitneywebb), author of One Nation Under Blackmail and contributing editor of unlimitedhangout(.)com, is taken from an interview with Jimmy Dore (@jimmy_dore) posted to Rumble on March 26, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- Dore: "What do you make of Joe Kent?" Webb: "Yeah, so with Joe Kent, he's a intelligence officer and top CIA guy. I think a lot of stuff is going on right now, and I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. But I think people should be careful in trusting former, quote–unquote, former spooks who come out of nowhere and are saying what you want to hear right away. Because a lot of times what happens is that these figures will do that to build up trust with the public and then they'll misdirect you somewhere else if you're not careful. "So I would advise vigilance and critical thinking, which is often in short supply, but should not be, about, that figure in, in particular. But I think— Dore: "So you think there's like, there might be some kind of a long-game plan with Joe Kent?" Webb: "Oh, yeah. So you saw—" Dore: "So, so I've heard this argument and, and that you know, don't take him as face value, that they're just setting him up to be the next Trump or JD Vance or something and then he's going to do all the horrible thing. So that's—" Webb: "They could. It's very possible, but I don't know how it'll go. But let me give you an example of why I'm really skeptical of him. "So when Trump was, I encourage people to go back and look at the first iteration of the Trump administration to understand what's happening now. And since my career in journalism began during Trump's first term, I thankfully remember a good amount of it. "So, about a year before the January Six event, there was this DHS official and this is the Trump administration, Elizabeth Neuman, I think her name was. She was basically saying, there's going to be a domestic terror event. We can see it building, but we can't quite stop it. It's another 9/11. Oh no. If only we had more surveillance powers and whatever, we could maybe stop this other imminent 9/11, whatever. "And so basically in that hearing, it was a hearing where she was testifying. Top officials from DHS and, and other intelligence agencies were basically painting who is the up-and-coming domestic terrorist profile in the United States, what Americans are domestic terrorists. "And so basically, the— I, I really wish I could remember the specific name of the hearing to direct people to that because it is on C-SPAN, still. But basically, the profile they gave were anti-Semitic Trump supporters or anti-Semitic Right-leaning populists. So I worry when people from that exact nexus that existed in Trump One come out and are trying to get Right-leaning populists in particular to do things that the Trump administration itself, even if it, no one else agrees with the definition, would define as anti-Semitic." Dore: "So, so what I— explain that again to me because you lost me a little bit right at the end. So you're saying that—" Webb: "Okay, so basically the first Trump administration defined the rising domestic terror threat because after 9/11 they've been building all this infrastructure for a war on domestic terror. Every administration has advanced it, Democrat and Republican. So who are they saying the domestic terrorists are? Anti-Semitic Right-leaning populists." Dore: "And so do you think Joe Kent is, is one of those?" Webb: "So before this era they had the domestic terror threat they were trying to put in front of you were obviously these groups of like Feds, like Patriot Front and the Proud Boys. And all of that. Okay, so how, if you, if, if you can't fake the demographic, how do you engineer the demographic?... "So basically if you have Trump officials that are part of this apparatus claiming right-leaning anti- Semites are domestic terrorists that need to be targeted by this infrastructure and the surveillance infrastructure, in pre-crime and all of that, that's been a part of this buildup of the war on domestic terror. And then you have people coming out and being like we're going to blame, you know, you know, saying what people want to hear because obviously Israel absolutely is intimately involved with getting us involved in the Iran war. "But the other side of it is you create— you, you signal boost that with people like Joe Kent potentially. And then you have people sort of muddy the waters between Israel and all Jewish people, which is not fair. And then you can have the Trump administration swoop in and you know, look at Alexis Wilkins. Foreign government operators are driving these narratives. "It's, it's like reverse Russiagate. And well, I mean I probably should have thought this theory a little bit more before explaining it on your show, but basically I worry that someone like Joe Kent is coming out of, out of nowhere to try and sort of engineer this problem that the US Government has had is we can't make domestic terrorists appear that fit our profile. "So now we want people to create a class of right- leaning populists who basically fit our definition. If we just define anti-Semites as people who are critical of Israel and then we can target these people with our domestic terror infrastructure. So I worry that could be happening."

@mtracey Mr Tracey, she's not yet responded to my suggestion that we all gather at Oxford for a discussion of the files and the "satanic panic." Would you repost my invitation and tag her?

Whitney Webb spins out the theory that I "started" the disturbing trend of Epstein-skeptical takes at Compact Magazine because I have been suborned by Peter Thiel and Soros. You can always count on Whitney to weave a creative new layer of her "web" for interpreting the world

@RichardBSpencer Get real x.com/StevenDeLay4/s…

I'm still holding out hope that JD Vance—a paleo-libertarian, "front porch" conservative and sole voice for peace—will run on an anti-war ticket in '28.

@JohnKiriakou Take a look at this file. We have plenty to work with. x.com/StevenDeLay4/s…

The American people will never see the Epstein files. rumble.com/shorts/v77nmx0

@Villgecrazylady @elonmusk @Harvard @MIT @AlanDersh It's quite the story. If you would, please consider reposting, so that the info can make the rounds.

@StevenDeLay4 @elonmusk @Harvard @MIT @AlanDersh Need to get you on the pod to talk about this Steven 🤯

.@elonmusk, file # EFTA00038124 in which the DOJ has illegally redacted the names of the FBI agents who instead of investigating the perps at @Harvard and @MIT, were "discussing" me for asking @AlanDersh questions about the 2020 Harvard Epstein Report.
