Where to even begin? Implied murders? Missing babies? A reinforcement of Pizzagate…? And plenty of ambiguity and continued enigma.
And that’s barely scratching the surface. The release of some three million files relating to Jeffrey Epstein on January 30th kicked up a shit-storm across the Internet and a frenzy in international media.
There have already been so many extraordinary things come to light in the last few days that it’s impossible to keep track of them all, let alone to put everything in context. Needless to say, I won’t be referencing every specific thing here: at least not all at once.
Instead, I’ll highlight some of the most significant or interesting items that have emerged at this point: and try to get a broad overview of the whole thing. There’s a lot.
But to start with, in a 2015 article titled ‘VIP Child-Abuse Networks & the Potential Collapse of the State‘, I wrote that if the truth about elite sex trafficking, organised child abuse and the related government cover-ups were ever widely exposed and understood, it would lead to the collapse of the state.
While that article was primarily focused on Britain, the current release of Epstein files vividly exposes the global nature of the evil and the rot.
And while the system might not be about to collapse necessarily, the reputational damage is unfixable at this point. As more and more people have woken up to the ugly reality, the masks have fallen off and can’t be put back on.
Yet most of the corporate or legacy media’s coverage of these files has tried to frame the information in a carefully managed way: essentially presenting Epstein himself as some kind of lone wolf evildoer, while also focusing on a few already exposed figures like Andrew Mountbatten, Peter Mandelson and of course Donald Trump.
Notice that they never discuss Epstein in relation to the intelligence community. Notice they never highlight that Ghislaine Maxwell’s notorious father was an Israeli operative.
Notice they never mention Epstein’s great benefactor, the Israeli billionaire Les Wexner.
Notice that they never mention Mossad. These latest releases, by the way, include an email exchange between Epstein and former Israeli leader Ehud Barak in which the pair explicitly discuss the need to deny Mossad affiliation.
But no major media has talked about that email.
There is also a particular photo that appears to show a number of crates in the background of the shot, marked as being from the CIA. No one’s mentioned that either.
Yet the intelligence community connection was made explicit way back in 2008 when Epstein got his sweetheart deal thanks to Alex Acosta (who went on to be in Trump’s first White House administration). So that reality has been established for a long time. But major media doesn’t really reference it.
Instead, pictures of Mandelson in his underpants or of Andrew looming over a young girl while looking demonically towards the camera are more tabloid-level salacious, thus providing a useful distraction from having to talk about the much bigger picture of the highly organised depravity in the corridors of power, politics, finance and academia.
We’re instead meant to think… what? That Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were just a couple of bad eggs, with an endless supply of money and funding, and casual access to multiple government figures or highly placed individuals in multiple countries, etc?
Even dumber, following the January 30th drop of documents, various media outlets quickly started trying to tie Epstein exclusively to Russia and Putin: which is essentially a re-run of ‘RussiaGate’, which – as we’ve said for years – should’ve been ‘Israelgate’ all along. Or at least a mix of both (more on that shortly too).
There are also a number of belittling references to the ‘goy’ or ‘goyim’, for that matter (a term denoting non-Jews). But Epstein was also really into ‘Baal’ (the ancient Phoenician deity), so it’s hard to gage where he was spiritually. The occultic aspects are certainly an issue, but an unhelpful detour at this juncture.
Again, the major media is clearly managing the narrative as best they can.
Subjects like Mandelson and Andrew (and yes, Trump, whose relationship with Epstein is bafflingly still being denied by some) are basically easy media targets at this point, because their involvement is well established.
They deserve to be exposed, of course. But again, it’s curious to note what the bulk of the media chooses to focus on and chooses not to.
They’ve also avoided talking about some of the most disturbing or significant documents and implications. We’ll come back to that.
But to cite just a few such items: there is, for example, the email referencing the ‘torture video‘ that someone said they enjoyed watching; there’s references to babies (including one alleged tip about Trump himself being present for what I’ll describe here as the ‘unaliving’ of a baby); allegations of buried bodies; allegations of children being auctioned off at Mar-a-Lago after being sexually examined; even alleged implications of cannibalism at the most extreme end.
That’s just scratching the surface of some of the worst suggestions. We should say, of course, that many of these are unsubstantiated, consisting of accusations or tip-offs given to the FBI – and not investigated or verified.
So some of it can be taken with a pinch of salt.
But let’s hone in on one: if there’s a ‘torture video’, what was it? Who was being tortured? Who was doing the torturing? Has the FBI seen the video? Has anyone been questioned or faced criminal charges?
See how just one reference in one email (out of millions of alleged documents) raises so many questions? Questions that aren’t being answered – and will probably never be answered.
But before getting into some more of the specific items from this vast document dump, let’s talk about the process of releasing these files – because that’s a whole controversy in itself.
The benefit of releasing all of these files in one massive dump is that it makes it extremely difficult for people to comb through or get to grips with. There’s simply too many documents, too much information, too many implications. And the data is made deliberately difficult to navigate.
Sure, the data can be worked through over time: but in terms of media attention and general public focus, both the news cycle and the notoriously short online attention span means that other stories and events will helpfully divert attention from these files even as new revelations are being brought to light.
The Trump administration has already been using that distraction tactic for many months already – creating useful distractions whenever the Epstein problem reemerges. And while the administration is obviously trying to protect its commander-in-chief (the Q-anon ‘Saviour of the World’ himself), the wider media and political establishment is seeking to protect the rest of the elite structure.
That’s why the items cherry-picked from the Epstein files for mainstream discussion are so selective. They’re hoping a few high-profile offenders thrown to the dogs will be enough to create an illusion of accountability and comeuppance.
All the while hoping to avoid broader or prolonged discussion or inquest into who Epstein and Maxwell really were, where all the money came from, why and how the level of influence and connection was so widespread internationally, and why such a vast and systemised blackmail operation was being run.
In fact even the blackmail operation itself is scarcely mentioned: as if all of this was simply about the perversions of some powerful men. Yes, it is about the perversions and crimes of powerful and protected people, but the fact that so many photos and videos exist is precisely for coercive purposes – and the media’s ability to somehow miss that logic is ridiculous.
The whole manner of these files’ release process has been almost comical, but also made as awkward as possible: from the Attorney General’s initial claim to have the files on her desk to the later denial that the files even existed (remember Kash Patel’s and Dan Bongino’s laughable antics last year?), to then the eventual, forced releases of documents.
Numerous files were posted online and then quickly removed again. Some documents were scrubbed after only a short time.
Many files were redacted, some appearing with not only names or paragraphs blacked out, but entire pages. Some such documents consisted entirely of blacked out panels with no useable information.
While protecting the identities of victims was justifiably cited as the reason for these redactions, in many cases the blacked out names are of Epstein’s email correspondents and not of abuse victims. And in fact in a number of files the victims names were not redacted at all – which is claimed to have been an error, but could’ve easily been done on purpose.
Six million documents are said to exist: around three million have been released. But we’re also told that this latest massive dump of January 30th is the end of it – nothing more is coming.
“The review is over”, we’re told.
Which means only half the files will have been released. One therefore assumes the worst, most damaging material is being withheld.
Epstein victims and their representatives have unanimously expressed displeasure at the content of the files, knowing for a fact that vital information is missing. Amy Wallace, who co-authored Virginia Giuffre’s book, said as much too (see below video), pointing out that evidence that she and others know to be in the DoJ or FBI’s possession hasn’t seen the light of day.
Victim testimony and material evidence is entirely absent.
So, clearly these releases have been curated to do the least damage possible. The fact that so much incriminating or damning content nevertheless exists in these released files suggests that they simply didn’t have enough time to edit or doctor that much data before the date mandated for the files to be released.
Which would also explain some of the sloppy scrambling to remove or scrub files *after* they’d already been posted online. This was a chaotic process forced on people who clearly didn’t want to comply.
But what have we gleaned so far from this trove of data? Well, quite a lot, even if it’s truncated and mixed up.
There’s the stuff the mainstream media has focused on: like Lord Mandelson and Prince Andrew. Then there’s the stuff that online, independent people have picked out – and they’ve done a much better job.
What’s emerged is a mixture of everything, from financial or political corruption and standard cronyism to geo-political machinations, to even veiled hints of murder. Along with genuinely weird things like Epstein apparently being key to the development of micro-transactions in video games.
He even acquired cloth from the Kaaba in Mecca, the Islamic holy site: which is among the most bizarre things. What he wanted with that material, who knows? But not many people can request material from the Kaaba and have it sent to them.
But yes, there’s a lot – some of it is ambiguous, some of it not.
There’s Bill Gates and his STD problem. There’s things like celebrity guru Deepak Chopra inviting Epstein to Israel and telling him to “bring your girls“. Likewise Richard Branson tells Epstein to bring his “harem“.
A lot of embarrassment for a number of high profile or rich individuals, as you’d expect.
And it turns out that Elon, the man who not long ago gleefully revelled in both Gates and Trump being in the Epstein files, really, really wanted to go party on the island with Jeffrey (and not just any party, but the “wildest” ones). Even Elon’s daughter is ratting him out at this point.
Just to demonstrate how interconnected the web of organised depravity is, one emailer (name redacted, of course) boasts of having gone to a P Diddy party, telling Epstein that they “met some interesting ppl; didn’t see Elon though“.
I examined the whole Diddy thing here previously, and I’ve been meaning to do follow-ups on it. But the overlap isn’t surprising: ‘Diddy’ was also connected with important Israelis.
Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google and one of the world’s richest men, did visit Epstein’s private island. It’s still unclear if Peter Thiel did, but he had plenty of contact with Epstein regardless.
Noam Chomsky was keen to help Epstein out after his reputational damage, just like Steve Bannon was. Chomsky talks about the “hysteria that has developed about abuse of women“. Nice.
Meanwhile all kinds of seemingly random big-name people, from chief atheist Richard Dawkins to the Dalai Lama and Pope John Paul II had some level of dealing with Epstein, who in one email claims to “represent the Rothschilds”.
The man was everywhere, with everyone. Leaders, European royals, the tech moguls, heads of industries and science, leading academics, Emirati rulers, celebrities, cultural influencers, and on and on. He was invited to dine at Buckingham Palace by Prince Andrew, allegedly stayed at the Vatican, was a guest at the White House seventeen times during the Clinton presidency, had the head of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee stay at his house, and on and on it goes.
Among the trove of items made public as part of the massive drop is an hour-plus video of Epstein being interviewed by Steve Bannon. This was filmed very shortly before his arrest in 2019. Multiple online channels have shared the video in full.
Here’s the Drop Site upload. I won’t discuss the interview for now, as I haven’t finished watching it.
What else?
There’s also the strong implication that ‘Pizzagate‘ might’ve had more merit than some of us thought. Very conspicuous references to ‘pizza’ and related coded language in some of these files definitely reinforce the idea.
My own scepticism about Pizzagate was never about not believing that such horrendous acts were being conducted and hidden: but about Pizzagate and Q-anon both being manipulation psy-ops being harnessed for political purposes (the perverse absurdity of Q, Trump and ‘The Plan to Save the World’, etc).
Which is still true: albeit with the caveat that the underlying suspicion (that high-level child sexual abuse rituals were being discussed in coded language) was nevertheless true.
Which wouldn’t be new. Evidence, accounts or allegations, of ritualised child abuse networks and cover ups go back decades, long predating Pizzagate or even Epstein. This shit has gone on all over the world.
Interestingly enough, one of the things revealed in these latest files is that Christopher Poole, the founder of 4Chan, literally met with Epstein right before the /pol/ forum (which would be where Q-anon would later emerge from) was put up on 4Chan.
This has even led to some speculation that Epstein himself might’ve had some involvement in encouraging the Q-anon and Pizzagate ops.
Who knows anymore? Given Epstein’s significant relationship with Steve Bannon, not to mention the Mossad/intelligence connections, and given that the political purpose of both Pizzagate and Q-anon was to build up the mythic hero status of Trump as Saviour and to get Trump into the White House… well, wouldn’t these ARG psy-ops suit everyone involved very neatly?
There would be something perverse about someone like Epstein – who’s emails now show he was entirely in on the ‘pizza’ and ice-cream references and their meaning with some of his correspondents – using something like the Pizzagate conspiracy theories to help further the agenda.
But then ‘perverse’ is a central theme in this whole saga, isn’t it?
And it is curious that 4Chan’s owner met with Epstein and then put up the forum that birthed Q-anon.
What else?
One of the most curious exchanges to come to light involved the death of Mary Kennedy (RFK Jr‘s wife): upon being informed of her untimely death via email, Epstein simply replies “whoops“. Which could just be a distasteful expression of indifference – or it could imply something more sinister.
That’s the problem with a lot of this stuff – the ambiguity, which makes it difficult to gage precisely what’s being communicated.
RFK Jr did fly on Epstein’s plane by his own admission, though he weirdly did it with his whole family, including his kids.
It’s like with that now infamous ‘Bubba’ email from before (the one involving Trump, Clinton, Bannon and Putin): without clear context, it’s difficult to determine exactly what’s being said.
But even in a different exchange, there appears to be a suggestion that someone should or could be murdered. But it’s not clear who is being spoken about – or even if it’s just colourful language.
Either way, the tone of so many of the exchanges – as with the pizza references – shows that we’re looking at sick, immoral people who’ve been operating with total impunity.
Again, not that this should be surprising to anyone anymore; but it’s still interesting to see some of it plainly spelled out in email exchanges and private photos.
Let’s keep going a bit longer here.
There’s Epstein pushing Peter Thiel and Palantir to former Israeli leader Ehud Barak as far back as 2013.
The incestuous nature of all this is also clear, as, for example, Peter Mandelson was organising secret talks between the British Prime Minister and Palantir in Washington just months ago (which was discussed here). The interconnectedness of everything is clear. The networking was a huge part of everything, with Epstein acting as the connective element between various people and entities: people in government, corporate entities, universities and scientific organisations, etc.
There’s the geo-political stuff, reinforcing the extent of Epstein’s influence and connections across the world. He was instrumental in the alliance between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, for example. He may even have been an influence on the Saudi Arabian coup that brought Mohammed Bin Salman to power.
And of course given Steve Bannon’s role as chief strategist for Trump’s 2016 campaign, the nature of Bannon’s relationship with Epstein is curious. Why Bannon was so invested in helping Epstein rehabilitate his image is unclear to me: I have to assume it was to do with Epstein’s helpfulness with Bannon’s global far-right projects, which was already established in previous documents.
Also, there’s now stronger implications that Jared Kushner was colluding with Russia during the 2016 election race, primarily via the Chabad Lubovitch messianic sect that has strong ties to Russia, as well as to the Kushner family, Netanyahu and Trump.
So, again, Russiagate was real in some sense: but again even Russiagate was basically Israelgate at the same time – which has always been the key omission.
Again, this is all just scratching the surface. It’s all interesting and insightful. But it’s only a partial picture.
Those supposed three million other files are likely to never see the light of day – so the question will remain of what is in those files.
Talking heads have repeatedly said that nothing in these released files constitutes evidence of criminal acts: that simply being named in the documents or having Jeffrey Epstein’s email address isn’t the basis for legal action.
Which is true. So what’s in the other three million files?
If there’s no basis for legal action in these released files, isn’t it because only the files that don’t contain such incriminating evidence are what’s been made public?
Why are names of some of Epstein’s email correspondents redacted? For example, in the ‘torture video’ email. Who sent that email? Has that person been questioned or investigated?
So, presumably the FBI or the DoJ has the actual incriminating data that could lead to criminal cases. But they’re just going to sit on it.
An official said that images or evidence of “death, torture or injury” were omitted from the releases.
Which, yes, is justified: but then they’re acknowledging the existence of such images or evidences of “death, torture or injury”… so, how can they also say that the review is over and no criminal cases are being pursued?
Does that make any sense? Well, it does if this is all smoke and mirrors and continued cover-up.
Virginia Giuffre and others said that sexual acts were recorded as a matter of course. Which of course makes sense. And we know how much data was taken from Epstein’s island by investigators.
Those types of videos or images won’t be released for obvious reasons – but if the appropriate authorities have access to them, why aren’t people being prosecuted? Is anyone even being investigated?
Apparently not – they’ve said clearly that no prosecutions are being pursued.
Given how kind Trump has been to the monster Ghislaine Maxwell, we can imagine the prospects of anyone else facing criminal justice are slim. Also of course because Trump and others would have to be investigated too.
‘Co-conspirators’ were being investigated by the FBI relating to the 2019 trial that led to Epstein’s death. Who are they? Why has their identity been hidden even now?
And what about outside of the US? What data does Israel have? What about Russia? Saudi Arabia or the U.A.E?
Only three people have apparently faced criminal prosecution over these affairs. Two of them – Jeffrey Epstein and known co-conspirator Jean Luc Brunel – died by apparent suicide in their respective jail cells. The other is Ghislaine Maxwell.
I won’t even go into the continued question of whether Epstein is even actually dead. For the purposes of this particular article, let’s just say he is.
Justice isn’t being pursued in any real sense. So all of this is really just about trying to appease the angry mob, while simultaneously trying to continue protecting powerful individuals, entities and governments.
Those are two contradictory agendas: which is why the whole thing has been so messy, embarrassing and confused.
It’s also a case of ‘flooding the zone’: overwhelming the public with an avalanche of data, innuendo and unverifiable claims, to keep them occupied.
Also, the notion that most of these people who were involved with Epstein didn’t know the darker things he was up to mostly lacks credibility: especially for those who were involved with him after his 2008 conviction.
The language in many of the emails make it clear they know exactly what’s going on: it’s clearly evident in exchanges with Elon Musk, for example, or Deepak Chopra. Just like Trump’s previously exposed message about every day being “a wonderful secret”, most of the email correspondents communicate in a way that makes their awareness (and in some cases their complicity) evident.
Even in one of the photos of Steve Bannon talking to Epstein at his desk, you can see what’s either a framed picture or a mirror (beneath the lamp) reflecting an unconscious looking girl on a couch. That’s not normal.
There’s no plausible deniability for most of these people.
A quote from Virginia Giuffre’s book sums it up this way: ‘…even the men who didn’t partake of the favors Epstein offered could see the naked photos on his walls and the naked girls on his islands or by his swimming pools. Epstein not only didn’t hide what was happening, he took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch—scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry…’
(Continued): ‘While the sheer number of victims Epstein preyed upon may put him in a class by himself, he was no outlier. The way he viewed women and girls—as playthings to be used and discarded—is not uncommon among certain powerful men who believe they are above the law. And many of those men are still going about their daily lives, enjoying the benefits of their power.’
This will go on. And there’ll be a lot to continue to unpack and examine.
But let’s end for now on something in particular. While all the consideration of global corruption, blackmail operations, dirty money, and the systemised crimes of rich and powerful elites are of course highly relevant, let’s also remember the victims.
Primarily young women, often under-age girls, being trafficked, sexually and mentally abused, treated like disposable objects.
Among the latest releases are the diary entries of an unnamed sixteen year-old girl, who aside from being abused by Epstein was also violently raped by multiple others, including most explicitly billionaire Leon Black.
Most harrowing of all, she describes pregnancies and forced abortions (performed by “an Israeli doctor”).
Someone, that may or may not be the same girl, also described actually giving birth in horrific circumstances and having the baby immediately taken from her, never to be seen again. It was implied to be Epstein’s baby.
What happened to that baby? How many other babies were there from other girls?
Was this part of Epstein’s desire to help populate the world with his genetically superior seed, as attested elsewhere? Did this relate to the New Mexico ranch where he was meant to be impregnating women for eugenics reasons?
We’ll possibly never know. Authorities don’t seem interested in the matter.
Like everything else in these files, it’s simply been thrown into the public domain with no comment or discussion from those doing the releasing. No attempt to provide further context.
And this girl’s story is just a taste of the kinds of things these people were being subjected to.
The way these people have been treated is beyond disgusting: and not just by their primary abusers, but by the authorities, the FBI, the DoJ, the political establishment, even much of the media.
Even now, their stories have been largely suppressed or ignored.
But nothing here is new. These are some of the oldest crimes in the book. Ritual abuse, trafficking, and much darker activities among high level elites have been going on for a very long time and has always been both highly systemised and protected.
The Franklin Scandal in the eighties, the types of claims made by people like Kathy O’Brien in Trance Formation of America, and numerous others, have testified to this reality.
As Virginia Giuffre said, Epstein isn’t an outlier. The next step in damage control will be to convince everyone that Epstein was the Devil – and that all of this died with him, that a long horror has ended and been exposed, and that a terrible and embarrassing chapter should soon be closed and put behind us.
That will of course be just another lie; in an endless ocean of lies.
