Bill Clinton ‘visited orgy island’ with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein
‘Spotted’ ... A woman claims she saw former US President Bill Clinton at Jeffrey Epstein’

FORMER US President Bill Clinton took a romantic jaunt in 2002 to convicted paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein’s “orgy island” with “two young girls” from New York, according to a shocking new interview.

The New York Post reports that Virginia Roberts, who’s accused Epstein of turning her into a “sex slave” at age 17 and forcing her to sleep with his powerful friends, claimed Clinton stayed in one of the many villas on Epstein’s US Virgin Islands estate — where group sex was a “regular occurrence.”

“I remember asking Jeffrey, ‘What’s Bill Clinton doing here?’ kind of thing, and he laughed it off and said, ‘Well, he owes me a favour,’ ” Roberts told her lawyers in a 2011 interview obtained by RadarOnline.com. “He never told me what favours they were.”

Clinton was accompanied by two of Epstein’s regular girlfriends and “two young girls that I could identify,” Roberts claimed.

“I never really knew them well anyway. It was just two girls from New York,” she said.

According to flight logs, Clinton flew on Epstein’s private Boeing 727, which Roberts said was outfitted with a special bed for kinky, high-altitude romps, the Web site said.

“It was a lot of the same things that went down on the ground,” she claimed. “There would be sexual conduct; there would be foreplay. There was a bed in there, so we could basically re-enact exactly what happened in the house. It would start off with massaging or we would start off with foreplay. Sometimes it would lead to, you know, orgies.”

Roberts denied she ever slept with Clinton and said she never witnessed him having sex with anyone else.
But on “orgy island,” the stunning blonde allegedly engaged in group sex with Epstein, Britain’s Prince Andrew and eight other girls.

Epstein pimped out Roberts and other underage girls to his prominent friends — so he could gather information on them to blackmail them later on, Roberts alleged in a new affidavit.

“Epstein required me to describe the sexual events that I had with these men, presumably so that he could potentially blackmail them,” the now 31-year-old wrote.

She added: “I also understood that Epstein thought he could get leniency if he was ever caught doing anything illegal, or more so that he could escape trouble altogether.”

Roberts has claimed to have had sex with “powerful men, including politicians and business executives” — as well as with the British prince and powerhouse attorney Alan Dershowitz, which the two men vehemently deny.

How Prince Andrew shared a room at Epstein's Caribbean hideaway with a busty blonde who claimed she was a brain surgeon

How Prince Andrew shared a room at Epstein's Caribbean hideaway with a busty blonde who claimed she was a brain surgeon

The official-looking document, left casually on a desk, marked the beginning of the end for Cathy and Miles Alexander’s eight years managing Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean island, Little St James.

‘It said Warrant of Arrest, in big bold letters,’ recalls Cathy.

‘I picked it up and saw Mr Epstein’s name on it.’

Shocked, she ran out of the room to tell her husband ‘something bad is going on’.

Indeed it was, for the shamed financier, a close friend of Prince Andrew (who visited the island at least three times), had been arrested the previous day for under-age sex activities.

But 24 hours after his arrest in July 2006, a visibly pale and shell-shocked Epstein stood in his designer kitchen complaining to the South African couple who had run his island paradise since 1999 that he was a victim of entrapment.

Speaking at their home in South Africa, where they live in semi-retirement, the Alexanders reveal they had watched with increasing concern the beautiful girls who paraded about the house topless or naked whenever their boss was in residence – until Cathy became so disturbed that she insisted they part company with Epstein in 2007, a year before he was sentenced to 18 months in jail for solicitation of prostitution.

‘I saw some girls who I thought were very young-looking – about 16 or 17 easily – and it bugged me because I have a daughter and, although she was in her 20s, I didn’t like the idea that another woman’s child was in that situation. I didn’t feel comfortable about it,’ she said.

‘They looked like they had stepped out of an underwear catalogue. They walked around with very few clothes on or lounged around by the pool with nothing on. It was like that most of the time. I was concerned about their ages. A few of them looked very young and I couldn’t help but wonder if their mothers knew where they were.

‘One very young-looking girl was called Tila. I just thought, “You really shouldn’t be here”, but I made myself switch off as I had no proof.’

The couple, who have been married for 24 years, still find it hard to comprehend that Epstein is a convicted sex offender.

‘He was a very kind man and, while I don’t approve of things he’s been accused of, I liked him very much,’ says Miles.

While Cathy says she was always suspicious about the girls’ ages, Miles insists: ‘I took the view that what went on behind closed doors was not my business and it is not my place to judge. If anything was going on we didn’t want to know.

‘Our job was about discretion. We have a clear conscience that we didn’t witness anything untoward. Whatever went on at the other houses – and yes, we heard things from other members of staff – it didn’t, to my knowledge, happen at our property.’

Miles also says that on several occasions he refused Epstein’s requests to smuggle female guests in by boat, to circumvent the strict immigration policies of St Thomas, the island with authority over Little St James, which would have meant logging names and passport numbers.

But he was aware that Epstein found others to do his bidding. For as the couple were told when they were hired: ‘What Jeffrey wants, Jeffrey gets.’

The words came from Ghislaine Maxwell, who was then Epstein’s girlfriend. She flew to South Africa with Andrew Shannon, a lawyer, to interview the Alexanders in 1998, after they had replied to a small ad for ‘management couple sought to run private island’.

After apparently passing the interview, they were invited to meet Epstein in New York.

‘It was very strange,’ said Miles. ‘We were taken by a driver to an office near Madison Square Garden. A gentleman wearing a polo shirt and jeans stepped out of the lift, asked if we had a good trip, shook our hands and left. That was it. Then Miss Maxwell came back and said we had the job.’

Ghislaine then took them to ‘the big house’ in Manhattan, which is said to have been the scene of sex parties and where young girls were allegedly hired as playthings for Epstein’s wealthy male friends.

‘We spent five days there shadowing the staff to see how they did things,’ says Cathy.

‘A dinner party was held on the fourth night, but it was very formal and businesslike. I saw no girls – young or otherwise – at the time. We would never have willingly put ourselves in that kind of situation.’

The following day they were flown to St Thomas and transferred by boat to Epstein’s island house, a sprawling single-storey complex with white walls and a blue roof, maintained by several gardeners, two boat captains, two laundry ladies and two other women who cared for the house.

Again the couple were there to observe, but after three days they were woken in the night by a phone call telling them they had to leave the island because a VIP was making an unexpected visit. They were later told by staff that the guest had been Prince Andrew.

They went back to New York, where Ghislaine explained more of their duties.

‘She said we had to keep quiet about what we saw or heard on the island,’ Cathy recalls.

‘She told us that although Mr Epstein and she were a couple, we would see lots of beautiful girls passing in and out, but that was his nature.

‘She said that he gets what he wants but that she was always the “Queen Bee” and the one in charge.

‘She often described herself in this way. Although she could be very friendly, I discovered that she was also rather arrogant.’

Miles took up his post in March 1999 and Cathy followed a month later. Miles realised the kind of lifestyle their boss enjoyed when, on his first day, Epstein arrived with five young ladies in tow.

‘One was definitely under age, but she had a letter of consent from her parents and was under the guardianship of a model agency,’ he says.

The Alexanders admit finding a box of sex toys in Epstein’s bedroom, but insist they never saw nor organised any raunchy parties for him or his guests. Cathy recalls that Prince Andrew was the first guest to visit during their tenure.

‘The Duke came via helicopter with his bodyguard and a woman in her 30s, who said she was a brain surgeon,’ Cathy says dryly.

‘She was tall, bleached blonde and had big boobs. They shared a room and spent most of their time on the beach windsurfing, sailing or doing other water sports.

‘One day he came back into the house in great mirth. He said that his guest had stepped on a sea urchin and he urinated on her foot as a remedy. “The royal member has done its duty,” he chuckled. He was great fun and very undemanding.’

The Prince stayed for two weeks and left a tip of $350 (£220).

‘He slipped it into my hand when we said goodbye,’ says Miles.

‘It was unexpected because other guests didn’t.’

Andrew would visit at least once more, that they recall, with Ghislaine and Epstein.

‘He also flew over the island on his way to Montserrat after the volcano had erupted and got the pilot to dip the wings as a signal to us.’

The Prince’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who became embroiled in the Epstein controversy last week when it was revealed that she had accepted £15,000 from the sex offender to pay her debts, visited once with her daughters. Epstein refused a second request for her to visit on her own.

‘Lots of people came and went,’ says Miles. ‘It was like running a five-star hotel where no one paid.’

Others who passed through included model Naomi Campbell, who arrived for two days with what Miles and Cathy called her ‘coffin’ – a huge oversized trunk filled with clothes.

Peter Mandelson holidayed there with his long-term boyfriend Reinaldo, who suffered sunburn and whined about it ‘like a baby’, says Cathy.

Numerous academics, architects and some of the most prominent scientific and business minds also enjoyed Epstein’s generous hospitality.

‘I can only surmise he might have wanted favours from these people,’ Miles suggests.

For all his wealth, Epstein appears to have led a simple life on the island.

‘Dinner was very informal, he never drank alcohol and we rarely had it in stock.

‘He also had a habit of not eating meals in front of people. Instead he would have nibbles such as crab cakes in his room.’

His most obvious luxury on the island were his daily massages. Former Epstein ‘masseuse’ Virginia Roberts says these were usually little more than foreplay to a sex act.

According to the Alexanders, whatever went on was performed in his bedroom.

‘We were warned by Miss Maxwell never to disturb him there. It was absolutely forbidden,’ they say.

Between 1999 and 2004, Epstein would visit at least once a month and Ghislaine was invariably with him.

Miles says: ‘In our final meeting, he told me I had always been his conscience. I’m certainly battling with my conscience now.’

Riddle of phone numbers for ‘friends’ he’d never met

Revealing an extraordinary network of power and influence, extending into the fields of politics, finance and showbusiness, Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘little black book’ showed just how important a man he had become.

Yet when The Mail on Sunday contacted the people listed in the document, which was kept online, many said they had never met or even spoken to the disgraced financier.

And they were appalled to discover he had their contact details, often including home and mobile telephone numbers.

Lord Palumbo, the former Arts Council chairman and godfather to the Duke of York’s eldest daughter Beatrice, said: ‘I have never, never, met him. I am shocked I am in there. I am affronted. I don’t know him at all.’

Dame Gail Ronson, a charity fundraiser and wife of the multi-millionaire British developer Gerald Ronson, said: ‘I’ve never, ever, met him. I swear, you’ve completely gobsmacked me. It’s really distressing, horrible.

‘I lead a very private life so to find out you’re on this list, it’s very unsavoury.’

Her shock was echoed by the celebrity milliner Philip Treacy.

‘This sounds crazy, I’m amazed,’ he said.

‘I’m a hatmaker, I’ve never met Jeffrey Epstein and never had any reason to. I make hats. Does he look like the kind of person who would wear a hat? Bizarre.’

The ‘book’ also had numbers for the JCB tycoon Sir Anthony Bamford, but a spokesman insisted: ‘There doesn’t appear to be any connection. Sir Anthony doesn’t know Jeffrey Epstein.’

The journalist Toby Young, said: ‘I’ve never been within 100 yards of him and we move in completely separate worlds. If you said I was in Colonel Gaddafi’s Little Black Book I couldn’t be less surprised.’

There were also numbers for the influential Rothschild family, including Sir Evelyn de Rothschild and his daughter Hannah. Last night she said: ‘I have no idea why Mr Epstein would have my numbers as I don’t know him.’

A print-out of the contacts book came to light after it was subpoenaed for use in a civil case against the financier by one of the young girls he employed as a masseuse.

The list included 16 numbers for Prince Andrew under his title The Duke of York.

His ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, was entered under the Duchess of York and there were 18 numbers for her and her associates as well as an email address.

The ‘book’ also appeared to contain contacts of Epstein’s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, including her extended family, friends and brief acquaintances.

One prominent journalist, who asked not to be named, was horrified to discover her parents’ details were listed. She said: ‘I knew Ghislaine once but that was more than 20 years ago. To be honest
I find it really spooky.’

Artist Kate Stracher was also baffled by her inclusion.

She said: ‘Ghislaine and I were at Oxford together but I haven’t seen her since. I’m not at all glamorous and not at all well-connected. I definitely shouldn’t be there.’

Others have had only the briefest of meetings. Philippe Amon, a Swiss industrialist, said: ‘I think I came across Epstein some years ago in New York but I honestly don’t think I would recognise him walking by in the street.’

A spokesman for Richard Branson said: ‘Jeffrey Epstein has the island next door to Necker but Richard has literally only met him once for about five minutes. That’s the extent of it.’

Those who clearly do have a connection are, perhaps unsurprisingly, less keen to talk about it.

Lisa Walker is listed alongside her friend Caroline Stanbury, a former girlfriend of Prince Andrew.
She said: ‘I met Epstein with Caroline.’

Asked if Prince Andrew was also present, Miss Walker said: ‘I wish I could help but I don’t think I should say any more.’

Police chief’s fury over plea bargain

Leaned on: Police chief Michael Reiter
Leaned on: Police chief Michael Reiter
Michael Reiter was a popular small-town police chief with a lifetime’s experience in finding the balance between patrolling the millionaire’s playground of Palm Beach, Florida, and its blue-collar neighbour West Palm Beach, home to unglamorous social housing projects and trailer parks.

Throughout his 28-year career, he prided himself that his force treated the wealthy on his patch just the same as the very poorest. But his investigation into the lifestyle of predatory paedophile Jeffrey Epstein exploded his illusion that law enforcement could ever be impartial.

He soon discovered at first hand that a man such as Epstein, with almost unlimited wealth and influential friends including former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Israeli defence minister Ehud Barak, can effectively bend the law to his whim.

The 53-year-old police chief, who retired in 2009, was so furious at what he believed was obstruction by state prosecutors, who he felt had downplayed charges against Epstein, that he outlined his frustrations in an extraordinary letter to Florida state attorney Barry Krischer in May 2006.

He wrote: ‘I must urge you to examine the unusual course that your office’s handling of this matter has taken and consider if good and sufficient reason exists to require your disqualification from the prosecution of these cases.’

After failing to get a satisfactory response from prosecutors he believed had been ‘got at’ by Epstein, he referred the case to the FBI.

He wrote to one of Epstein’s victims, saying: ‘I do not feel that justice has been sufficiently served by the indictment that has been issued.’

Epstein’s conviction for solicitation of prostitution came after an unprecedented plea bargain designed to protect him from future charges.

Mr Reiter later complained in sworn testimony connected to civil actions brought against Epstein that prominent politicians had repeatedly leaned on him to downplay the allegations against the financier.

Mike Fisten, an ex-FBI taskforce superviser who has led the campaign for the Epstein case to be reopened, said: ‘Reiter went up against the entire town of Palm Beach to do what was right but he is not chief any more because of this.

‘And eventually Epstein was given an immunity from prosecution deal the like of which I have never seen in my entire career.’

Oral Arguments to Begin on Unsealing Epstein’s Court Documents
BY WILLIAM PATRICK
March 4, 2019 Updated: March 4, 2019 Share
https://www.theepochtimes.com/oral-arguments-to-begin-on-unsealing-eps teins-court-documents_2824549.html

Oral arguments about whether to unseal documents from a past court case involving accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein will begin March 6 at the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City.

The case, Giuffre v. Maxwell, was a defamation lawsuit brought by one of Epstein’s alleged victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. The suit was settled in May 2017, but unsealing related court records could introduce volumes of new information regarding Epstein’s alleged activities, and those of his powerful alleged co-participants.

Epstein, a wealthy financier, has been accused of molesting dozens of underage girls at his Palm Beach, Florida, mansion and his 72-acre private island estate in the Caribbean. The Department of Justice is currently investigating a 2007 plea deal that allowed him to only serve 13 months in a private area of a Palm Beach County jail, and work unsupervised at his downtown West Palm Beach office 12 hours a day, six days a week, during that period.

In 2015, Giuffre sued Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, after Maxwell publicly challenged her claims of abuse.

According to an August 2017 lower court ruling, Giuffre alleged that she was a “victim of sexual trafficking and abuse while she was a minor child,” and that Maxwell helped facilitate the abuse, which allegedly occurred over a decade at numerous locations “around the world,” and “with prominent and politically powerful men.”

The lawsuit asserted that Giuffre was subjected to “public ridicule, contempt, and disgrace” when Maxwell publicly denied her allegations.

The two-year dispute involved what Judge Robert Sweet of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York called “a lengthy and tumultuous discovery process” with “extreme sensitivities and privacy interests.” As a result, he placed a protective order on discovery documents and other items spanning 18 hearings and 15 related decisions.

Famed Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, who co-represented Epstein during the controversial 2007 plea agreement, unsuccessfully attempted to have three case documents unsealed in August 2016. Prominent blogger, journalist, author, and filmmaker Mike Cernovich filed a motion to unseal case materials in Jan. 2017, but was denied.

Giuffre and Maxwell settled four months later, and on April 9, 2018, The Miami Herald filed a motion to unseal all case documents on First Amendment grounds. The Herald’s court filing was then joined by Dershowitz, who requested to be advised of any unsealed records, so he could seek additional documents to be unsealed if needed.

Giuffre and another women, Sarah Ransomme, have accused Dershowitz of abusing them in association with Epstein and Maxwell, which he vehemently denies.

The Herald lost its initial attempt to unseal the documents, but has since garnered the support of 32 media organizations for its appeal on March 6, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Fox News, and the Associated Press.

The district court ruled that discovery records and other sought items weren’t covered by First Amendment presumptions of access. But according to a media coalition’s amici brief, the court “severely undervalued the powerful public interest in this case and vastly overstated the asserted countervailing interests in favor of secrecy.”

“It further argues that the district court should have done an individualized right of access analysis on each judicial record, rather than authorizing blanket sealing and redaction,” the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press said in a statement.

Dershowitz asked the appeals court last week if the media should be prohibited from hearing his attorney’s arguments about the case, since it could reveal sealed information.

The letter prompted an article from Julie K. Brown, an award-winning investigative journalist for The Miami Herald, whose groundbreaking three-part series “Perversions of Justice” spurred national interest in the Epstein affair more than a decade after his guilty plea.

Dershowitz took exception, and defended himself through a series of tweets.

“Let me be crystal clear, I want the hearing to be open to the press. But I also want my lawyer to be able to tell the court what’s in the sealed emails that prove I was framed for $. Its the other side that’s sealed the material. Let them unseal it so the world can see the truth,” he wrote on March 2.

He also accused Brown of deliberately distorting the truth, to which she responded, “Why not ask for everything to be unsealed then? And why are your motions so redacted?”

“We want everything unsealed,” Dershowitz tweeted back. “Why didn’t you try to reach me before publishing your error-filled screed?”

Dershowitz also said Democratic super-lawyer David Boies was representing both of his sexual abuse accusers and that Boies admitted in private that Dershowitz was falsely accused.

“David Boies, the lawyer for both of my false accusers, has admitted in private that his client has falsely accused me: ”Your belief”— referring to his client— “is wrong”. “Your conclusion is simply wrong”. I challenge Boies to deny this admission under oath,” he wrote on Twitter, adding that “They made up their false stories about me only after being ‘pressured’ by their lawyers.”

On March 3, Brown weighed in again: “To be clear: Mr. Dershowitz’s motion pertains to select documents in the Epstein-related case that pertain to him. The Miami Herald’s motion is to unseal EVERYTHING w the exception of social sec nos, medical info & other personal info.”

A separate court case unfolded Feb. 21, when a federal judge for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida ruled that prosecutors broke the law when devising Epstein’s controversial plea deal.

Two of Epstein’s alleged underage victims, known as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, filed a lawsuit after the 2008 surprise sentencing, on the grounds that they were never given an opportunity to express their opposition to the lenient plea. Judge Kenneth Marra ruled in their favor, albeit 11 years later.

Should documents ultimately be unsealed in the defamation case and reveal details about prominent individuals who have thus far gone unnamed, the implications could be staggering.

According to Marra’s 33-page opinion, Epstein and his co-conspirators “knowingly traveled in interstate and international commerce” to commit sexual abuse and other “violations of not only Florida law, but also federal law.”

“In addition to his own sexual abuse of the victims, Epstein directed other persons to abuse the girls sexually,” and he “worked in concert with others to obtain minors not only for his own sexual gratification but also for the sexual gratification of others.”

Jeffrey Epstein Documents Could Expose Powerful Politicians, Businessmen

Topline: A federal appeals court Wednesday ordered that 167 documents in a lawsuit that alleges famously well-connected financier Jeffrey Epstein participated in a sex-trafficking ring should be unsealed—and that many of his powerful friends could be named.

In its 27-page decision, the court cited the public’s right to access the case information outweighed the privacy of certain individuals, “including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well‐known Prime Minister, and other world leaders.”
Virginia Guiffre (now Roberts) filed the lawsuit against Ghislane Maxwell, alleging that she had used her as part of a sex trafficking network of underage girls to Epstein and a number of his famous friends, including his lawyer Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew. Both men denied the accusations.
Dershowitz has supported unsealing the documents, according to the Daily Beast.
The documents will not be immediately available, as anonymous individuals involved in the case have two weeks to file appeals.
The court advised the documents be read carefully. “We therefore urge the media to exercise restraint in covering potentially defamatory allegations, and we caution the public to read such accounts with discernment,” wrote the court in its decision.
Key background: Epstein had previously been charged in 2007 in a 53-page indictment. As the Miami Herald revealed in its investigative series “Perversion of Justice,” Epstein managed to escape all federal charges through a plea deal that gave him and all of his coconspirators immunity, with all documents being sealed. Epstein ended up pleading guilty to one state prostitution charge in Florida. He then registered as a sex offender and paid unspecified restitution to three dozen victims identified by the FBI.

The contentious plea deal was orchestrated by U.S. attorney Alexander Acosta, now President Trump’s secretary of labor. The Miami Herald’s reporting prompted calls for Acosta to resign, but he has remained in his Cabinet post.

In February, a U.S. district judge determined federal prosecutors, including Acosta, broke the law by failing to notify victims before Epstein pleaded guilty to the Florida prostution charge. That decision could potentially nullify Epstein’s plea deal, opening him up to new federal charges. But prosecutors are challenging this ruling.

Tangent: Contrary to popular belief, Epstein is not a billionaire. Forbes explained why all the way back in 2011.

Don’t say “Epstein”
9th July 2019 QuickPress, Britain, Home, USA and Canada
https://www.redressonline.com/2019/07/jeffrey-epstein/

Gilad Atzmon writes:
In Britain we are advised not to utter the phonetic sound constructed by the following letters – R.O.T.H.S.C.H.I.L.D – as this word and the world power associated with it could reflect badly and wrongly on the Jews and might also hurt their feelings. I suppose this is a reasonable request, given that we all would like to live in a tolerant world where everyone loves and respects everyone else.

But the rules became a little more complicated this week with the arrest of registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Needless to say, Epstein is a Jewish name and the sickening and extensive under-age sex trafficking activity and the power associated with Epstein’s activities could potentially and erroneously reflect badly on Jews. I suggest that the “well meaning” people of the world never again utter the sound produced by the following letters – E.p.s.t.e.i.n – to avoid the possibility of offending Jews or presenting them in the wrong light. The list continues with W.e.i.n.s.t.e.i.n, a word that should also be eradicated from your lexicon. However, you need not delete every “stein”. You are more than welcome to refer to Albert Einstein and praise him as a Jew. Similarly, feel free to praise Sergei Eisenstein’s cinematic genius, and please refer to his ethnicity while doing so.

Lord Janner, who was accused of being “serial child abuser”, may also be a problematic figure for British Jews as a former chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, a body that claims to “represent British Jewry”. Janner also founded the Holocaust Memorial Trust and at the time he allegedly inflicted the ultimate trauma on innocent British children. Goyim [gentiles] ought never to produce the phonetic sound created by the following letters: J.a.n.n.e.r.

Purely as a precautionary measure, I suggest we remove the word “green” from the English language and, as an extra safeguard, we should probably also remove this colour from the light spectrum as the sound may evoke some uncomfortable thoughts about Sir Philip Green who didn’t really care enough for pensioners and is associated with sex and racism claims.

Meanwhile, goyim in general and Britons in particular shouldn’t be upset by these prophylactic precautionary measures – these rules do not prohibit them from speculating on Prince Andrew and his alleged relationship with E.p.s.t.e.i.n as this would only cast aspersions on the royal family. Fortunately, the British are still permitted to gossip about their own aristocracy’s alleged sexual dalliances and deviations.

Chapter 14 The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal: Anatomy of the Zionist-Illuminati Sexual Blackmail System
https://empireexposed.blogspot.com/2018/02/chapter-14-jeffrey-epstein- scandal.html


Whereas the painful lesson from the Franklin scandal graphically demonstrates how pedophiles at the top can bury their most heinous crimes from any real consequence, the Jeffrey Epstein story reveals how agents from a foreign government can hijack and control the US government. What will be presented here is the anatomy of a sexual blackmail operation orchestrated by Israel’s Mossad as a means of gaining and maintaining control over America’s foreign policy and top leaders so that the US Empire ultimately fights Israel’s wars for the Greater Israel Project.[i] Through AIPAC bribery and Mossad blackmail, virtually every US politician in Congress including the president is and has been a puppet of the Zionist Jewish State.[ii] The evil international cabal made up of Zionists and various Illuminati elements including the Vatican, all worship the same anti-God Lucifer, and have been misusing and abusing our children as blackmail bait for centuries. Again, back in the 18th century, the credited founder of the Illuminati Adam Weishaupt knew that infiltrating high places and sexually compromising VIP puppets through blackmail would be a central strategy in expanding its power and control over the devil’s earthly dominion.[iii] And based on today’s power politics, Weishaupt more than attained his prophetic vision.

This chapter will focus on how Israel invested in a complete unknown, a Jewish American college dropout, overnight granting him the title of hedge fund mystery man as promoted in the Zionist controlled New York Magazine,[iv] owning multiple mansions for the covertly licensed purpose of pursuing both his own kinky perversions raping young underage girls while enticing notable puppet figures to indulge in their pedophilic fantasies as thoroughly compromised and subsequently owned tools for Israel and the Zionist Khazarian mafia.[v] The Rothschild’s central bankster system funding this Illuminati mafia scheme wouldn’t have it any other way.[vi]

This perfectly explains why Jeffrey Epstein was given a sweetheart’s slap on the hand after getting caught red-handed raping scores of female victims as young as 12 and 13 over a period of many years. It also goes far in explaining why the current White House occupant is a Zionist puppet wrecking ball himself[vii] currently being used to plunge humanity off the Armageddon doomsday cliff moving the Jewish State capital to Jerusalem.[viii] So sit back and take in this adulterated story of the cabal’s political blackmail machine and how one Jeffrey Epstein and his child sex slave trafficking ring has played such a significant role in the ruling elite’s global control apparatchik, unfortunately changing human history none for the better.

The early family background on Jeffrey Epstein is rather sparse. Born near Brooklyn’s Coney Island in 1953 to a middle class Jewish American family with a father who worked for the city’s parks department, Epstein and his younger brother Mark were indoctrinated that “their way out” of their “lowly” middle class Jewish working class affluence and relative obscurity was through education.[ix] So what does the young Jeffrey do? He becomes a college dropout - twice, never finishing at either Cooper Union or NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Yet without so much as a college degree, from age 20-22 Epstein somehow procured a job as a 7th grade math and physics teacher at the posh private elitist Dalton School in Manhattan. From the get-go, such early rapid upward mobility without a degree to transcend his humble Brooklyn roots strongly suggests an elitist “who-you-know” operation.

According to his propaganda fluff pieces as Wall Street’s “billionaire mystery man” propped up by both Vanity Fair[x] and New York Magazine shortly before his pedophilia arrest, the legendary urbane genius is said to have bedazzled one of the Wall Street parents at Dalton to refer him to a well-connected friend Ace Greenberg, CEO of the high-end Manhattan investment company Bear Stearns.[xi] So the 23-year old Brooklyn whiz kid suddenly rose from preppie schoolteacher-college dropout to a top firm hedge fund investment broker and by age 27 was promoted to partnership at Bear Stearns. His legendary status as magic money man aka tax evasion expert had him a mere year later boldly quitting to start up his own J. Epstein Trust Company in 1981. At about that time it’s been reported that Epstein was recruited and given an estimated $1 billion advance to form his shell company by clothing retail magnate (L Limited and Victoria’s Secret) Leslie Wexner working directly with the Mossad’s so called Clothing Retail Network to set up a sexual blackmail operation.[xii]

Over the next few years, Epstein’s image would be crafted as the maverick Manhattan mystery man, the King Tut of financial strut, still in his 20s braggadocio proclaiming it beneath him to accept clients who weren’t billionaires. This carefully fabricated hype surrounding this secretive billionaire charmer had him allegedly making billions for the rich and famous through his purported genius with numbers. Yet his success was never linked to more than one known customer. Turns out all the hype was nothing more than “a carefully crafted hoax” (ironically the exact same words used to obscure and bury the very real Franklin scandal). In actuality, back in the early 1980s Jeffrey Epstein met his only known client - sugar daddy Leslie Wexner and the rest is history. As Gawker boldly pointed out a decade ago:

Epstein's wealth is built on a "bizarre relationship" with single acknowledged client, Abercrombie & Fitch creator Leslie Wexner, one of America's most successful retailers.[xiii]

Persistent rumors swirled around Epstein’s meteoric rise from out of nowhere stemming from a protracted secret tryst as Mr. Leslie’s young bootlicking lover.[xiv] And before long, Wexner was converting an unoccupied private school in Manhattan into the largest private residence in all of New York City and then virtually gifting it to the young Brooklyn upstart for giving Les such good bootlicks. And it was only after the grooming Wexner had already created his protégé Epstein as the “mysterious,” high flying, overnight billionaire financial advisor and close friend to Bill Clinton and Ghislaine Maxwell, socialite daughter of media mogul-Mossad-MI6 double agent Robert Maxwell, did Les Wexner finally settle down and marry a woman at the ripe old age of 56.[xv]

Wexner’s ties to Israel and Mossad became more than apparent when a document entitled “Wexner Analysis: Israeli Communication Priorities 2003” was uncovered, outlining a PR campaign promoting the Iraq war invasion demonizing Saddam Hussein - dead or alive - as the false link to terrorism with emphasis that Israeli foreign policy interests are identical to US foreign policy interests.[xvi] The report serves as confirmation that Wexner and his charity organization called the Mega Group provided the cover as a Zionist Mossad front actively influencing and dictating US war policy in the Middle East. Wexner’s Mega Group consists of about 20 fellow Jewish American financial titans who use their Zionist power to manipulate and control Washington into fighting illegal wars for Israel against the Islam religion and people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and eventually Iran, using their US-Israeli creation of al Qaeda/ISIS terrorists as proxy war allies to justify their prefabricated US “endless war on terror.”[xvii] Wexner and company worked hand in hand with the neocons and Israeli first dual citizens behind the Project for a New American Century calling for their “new Pearl Harbor” 9/11 to justify US-Israeli global hegemony.

And in May 2008 George W. Bush rewarded Zionist Wexner by inviting him as an official member of his honorary delegation accompanying the US president in a state visit to Israel to celebrate its 60th anniversary.[xviii] For years prior Wexner had been providing Epstein with the Mossad link that included introducing Ghislaine Maxwell as his sometime girlfriend and blackmail operation pimp while the hedge fund magician ostensibly “moves Wexner’s billions around the globe.”[xix] As chief Mossad blackmailer, it wasn’t long before Epstein found his way to invited memberships in such exclusive elitist private clubs as the powerful Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations.[xx] Thus, in large part through the Zionist Mossad-Epstein sex ring operation, blackmail control over US politicians and US Empire foreign policy was ensured for their “endless war on terror” on the multiple warfronts to come.

Another puff piece from the London Sunday Times quoted a New York social observer trying to wittily describe the “complicated” Jeffrey Epstein:

He’s Mr. Enigmatic. Nobody knows whether he’s a concert pianist, property developer, a CIA agent, a math teacher or a member of Mossad.[xxi]

Obviously all smoke and mirrors, except his literal, right-on-the-money CIA-Mossad connection. Additionally, veteran former CIA case officer and US Marine Corps intelligence officer Robert David Steele has gone public emphatically maintaining Epstein was/is a Mossad operative set up as a “made” financier to work on behalf of Israel in a global blackmail operation.[xxii] Seemingly overnight Jeffrey Epstein possessed massive amounts of real estate properties that included the largest residence in America’s largest city as well as a shoreline estate in Palm Beach, Florida a mile from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, his notorious 70-acre “Virgin” Island getaway compound, a sprawling 7,500 acre New Mexico ranch and a Paris apartment.[xxiii]

By far the two biggest targets in the scandalous Jeffrey Epstein blackmail operation were former President Bill Clinton and his presidential wannabe wife Hillary who, according to flightlog records, flew on Epstein’s private Boeing 727 - the “Lolita Express,” Bill on 26 confirmed flights [xxiv] and Hillary at least a half dozen times.[xxv] Also the fifth in line to the British throne - Prince Andrew - was yet another high flying frequent Lolita flyer.[xxvi]

Three years ago Gawker obtained flightlogs dating back to the late 1990s through the mid-2000s,[xxvii] placing Bill Clinton repeatedly after ditching secret service on board Epstein’s jets, always flying with a bunch of underage girls listed in Epstein’s infamous black book under “massage.” The Clintons both separately and together flew on Epstein’s planes with several girls determined to be as young as 12 providing sexual favors for the financier’s most powerful and influential friends.[xxviii] Among the more notable Clinton trips around the globe with Epstein, in 2002 the former president traveled with an entourage for an entire week to Africa on a so called anti-poverty/anti-AIDS mission, also accompanied by the recently disgraced pedophilic predator actor Kevin Spacey.[xxix] Among the women on board for that African tour were key Epstein employees serving as handlers of his sex slave victims - Ghislaine Maxwell and Sarah Kellen, along with soft porn actress-masseuse Chauntee Davies.

Because of this additional incriminating evidence indicating that yet another American president has turned out to be another private pedophile club member, in conjunction with an already long trail of mysterious deaths surrounding scores of suspicious “suicides” and murdered associates connected to the endless Clinton scandals,[xxx] in vain the Bush-Clinton-Obama Deep State has gone to desperate, flimsily executed lengths to conceal and ignore both this political dynasty and power couple’s massive criminal history.[xxxi] Yet to this very day there exists volumes of documented proof high up in both the Justice Department and FBI obstructing justice at every turn by dismissing and destroying the overwhelming evidence to persistently let these guiltiest of treasonous offenders off the hook,[xxxii] only administering a token punishment to their fall guy buddy Epstein. After his 2006 arrest and 2008 conviction, the so called billionaire financier as the child molesting ringleader of a major sex trafficking ring set up as a Mossad blackmail operation was granted the sweetheart deal of a lifetime. To this day high stakes cabal money and power have bought Epstein and his slew of accomplices complete impunity from any real justice ever being served.

Despite Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 conviction on just two felony counts soliciting for prostitution of an underage victim and despite avoiding prosecution for committing hundreds of felonious crimes that would land anyone else in federal prison for twenty to life, Epstein was allowed to freely leave jail for 16 hours a day six days a week and only return for overnight sleepovers at his plush private Palm Beach County jailhouse wing for a mere thirteen months of an eighteen month sentence.[xxxiii] To avert prosecution and serving hard time in either state or federal prison for his conviction, the plea deal ensured that Epstein’s sleepovers at his cushy local jailhouse - unheard of throughout the annals of law history - would provide minimal discomfort and disruption for the pampered, silver-haired pedo fox. Testimony of up to thirty-five of his hundreds of underage victims willing to provide eyewitness testimony against Epstein and his powerful pedophile pals were all conspicuously denied their day in court – by Luciferian design.

The ruling criminal elite behind the US government instead made certain that all the child rapists and pimps got off Scot-free. And ever since 2008, per his plea bargain agreement, Epstein has always escaped both prosecution and any real punishment by being allowed to simply pay hush money to at least thirty more of his victims as his army of well-paid attorneys right up to this very day are still busily negotiating lawsuit settlement after settlement, handing out millions to his rape victims in some cases dating back a quarter century after the crime fact. This blanket-wide, most reprehensible policy of completely shielding both the pedophile and all his pedophile customers from all prosecution has successfully protected worldwide clandestine Mossad-CIA pedo blackmail operations globally and, as a result, allowed them to flourish to this day.

Though through the Mossad and CIA the pedophile elite used Epstein as their point man as far back as the 1980s, it wasn’t until a Florida stepmother contacted Palm Beach Police in 2005 reporting that her 14-year old daughter had been forced to have sex with the 52-year old financier before sparking a yearlong investigation culminating in his 2006 indictment.[xxxiv] Under the auspices of providing massages, Epstein was paying teenage procurers to drive underage girls to his Palm Beach mansion where he ordered them to strip down to their panties while giving him his three daily massages. The majority of girls reported that while they massaged him, he would regularly masturbate, and some maintain he penetrated them with his penis, fingers and/or vibrator. In spite of the devious Epstein prior to even being investigated making frequent $100,000 donations to the Palm Beach Police Department as attempted bribery insurance,[xxxv] once the yearlong police investigation turned over its incriminating evidence, the state attorney’s office was caught stonewalling the case. As early as 2006, the Palm Beach police chief accused the state’s attorney’s office of preferential treatment when seeking lesser charges and dragging its heels to arrest Epstein. That’s because from the outset it was all too obvious that the hidden Illuminati-Zionist hand was busily at work dictating from behind the scenes what would unfold at every sinister turn.

In late December 2014 then 31 years old underage victim Virginia Roberts-Giuffre filed a lawsuit against not only Epstein but also accused Epstein’s lead attorney, close friend and frequent Lolita Express flier Alan Dershowitz of having sex with her a half dozen times in various settings,[xxxvi] on board the 727 as well as on sex slave island among the sex offender’s other stateside owned estates.[xxxvii] All Dershowitz would admit was once vacationing with his wife at Epstein’s Florida mansion. But the fact that Dershowitz’s name appeared numerous times on the infamous flight log to the Virgin Island mansion[xxxviii] had the notorious powerhouse attorney who’s turning 80 this year scrambling to defend both his reputation and legacy. Despite Giuffre’s attorneys dropping a defamation suit against Dershowitz in 2016, his sex crime accuser and her lawyers steadfastly dispute Dershowitz’s feeble denials, and a heavy dark cloud of controversial doubt still hangs over the aging lawyer so famous for his aggressive courtroom tactics.[xxxix]

And strangely enough, the diehard liberal Dershowitz who’s always been such a loyal Hillary-Obama supporter has suddenly switched gears and been fiercely defending Trump during Deep State’s “fake Russian collusion” inquisition to overthrow the sitting president.[xl] Why? Because Trump certainly has the dirty goods on Dershowitz who wants to avoid going down in Trump’s alleged pending major pedo roundup. But more on that later.

Virginia Roberts-Giuffre filed charges, bravely going public with her detailed account of how in 1999 Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her as a 15-year old Trump Mar-a-Lago employee, over the next three years pressuring her into a life of sexual bondage as one of Epstein’s sex slaves, forced to not only have sex with Epstein but his high roller friends like Alan Dershowitz as well as British royal Prince Andrew.[xli] Virginia Giuffre stated in her court papers that she had sex with Andrew three times in New York, London and on Epstein’s Caribbean Island. In 2015 fear of reprisal from the billionaire and his crime cabal friends had her fearing for her life.[xlii] According to Virginia’s aunt, just prior to the court allegations in Florida, Virginia fled to hide out in Colorado. Giuffre is reported to be happily married to an Australian man with children now.

Roberts-Giuffre’s court filing specified that Jeffrey Epstein made sure his underage sex slaves provided detailed descriptions of all their sexual encounters with the world’s most famous and powerful politicians, businessmen, foreign dignitaries and world leaders in order to potentially blackmail them.[xliii] This of course along with collected evidence from the hidden cameras has long been the Modus Operandi deployed by the planetary controllers to buy insurance for longevity in getting away with their most despicable, vile crimes on earth while totally controlling their puppet slave class that remain forever under their dictating thumb.

Prior to Epstein, among other US slave masters deploying this same shady, despicable, Luciferian game misusing children as pedo bait to entrap and compromise duped puppets were none other than the half century G-man pedophile transvestite himself - J. Edgar Hoover and Trump’s mentor ruthless attorney Roy Cohn… two early diabolically intertwined kingpins, each running their sexual blackmail schemes with Israeli links.[xliv] [xlv] Of course for decades the Cohn and Hoover perversions were kept under thinly veiled wraps.[xlvi] Hoover himself was controlled by the mob that made sure to keep tabs on the FBI director’s kinky little, not-so-secret habits. Hence, Hoover in turn protected the mafia by pretending and denying that it ever existed. America’s cesspool that’s been growing for a very long time has morphed into today’s Deep State swamp.

Right after Politico published its 2014 New Year’s Eve bombshell making Virginia Roberts-Giuffre’s Florida lawsuit public,[xlvii] from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Prince Andrew vehemently denied having sex with underage girls. Flanked by the President of the Royal Academy of Engineering Professor Dame Ann Dowling, the Earl of York was loyally defended, called a “true beacon as an ambassador for UK trade and enterprise.”[xlviii] Because a photo in 2010 had surfaced of Andrew accompanying the registered sex offender soon after Epstein’s release from his Palm Beach jail cell, the prince’s association with the convicted pedophile embarrassed the royal family enough to force Andrew to step down from his official role as ambassador for UK trade and publicly cut the child sex trafficker off. But the prince’s close ties with his pimping procurer and pedophile herself Ghislaine were never severed.[xlix] No charges have ever been brought against her or any British royals because their pedophilic ways have always allowed them to live above the law.[l]

Whenever public figures are caught in scandals, their mantra is always to simply deny, deny, and more deny, ensuring they bring out all their heavy guns vilifying the accuser while accolades of greatness get showered on the “unfairly maligned” accused. Similar to the Vatican, for decades the royals of the British Commonwealth and European aristocracy have busily fought and suppressed exposure of their connection to global child sex slavery trafficking.[li] Case in point - as far back as 1964 when 10 Native American children attending an abusive Catholic school in British Columbia disappeared, last seen in the charge of Queen Elizabeth and husband Prince Philip that they have yet to answer for.[lii] Just prior to their murderous hit on Diana,[liii] it’s been speculated that Princess Di was planning to expose the British royal family for being the Satan worshipping pedophiles they are.[liv] So it’s no surprise that the queen’s second, less ugly looking son would remain immune from consequence.

Returning to the “good” Harvard law professor, when Dershowitz’ name arose as a frequent flyer on the Lolita Express, in an immediate interview with American Lawyer he insisted he’s always been a faithful husband of 28 years to his wife who he claimed always traveled with him.[lv] Yet while flying with Epstein the flightlog records clearly show his wife not once ever accompanied him. Another blatant discrepancy was his statement that Epstein was a mere “professional” acquaintance, nothing close to being a personal friend. Because the philanthropic Epstein was a financial donor to Harvard, and since Clinton’s former Treasury Secretary, yet another Lolita flyer Larry Summers,[lvi] was such a close personal friend of Epstein’s, while Summers was Harvard president, Dersh claims his only “job related” association with Epstein was raising money for his and his boss’ venerable Ivy League institution… such a blatant pack of CYA damage control lies!

Records totally contradict this bogus contention indicating that Dershowitz knew and flew with the billionaire pedophile on numerous occasions as early as 1997. The fast talking lawyer when interviewed by Gawker explained that he suddenly recalled in 1997 flying to Epstein’s friend’s birthday party also attended by (Mossad linked) former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and ex-astronaut-Senator John Glenn. Such sharp selective recall proves he didn’t teach at Harvard all those years for nothing. Yet the Dersh unequivocally lied again denying he ever had sex with any young woman. Sounds vaguely familiar to yet another infamous frequent Epstein flyer named Bill.

Regarding that brief, “strictly professional” acquaintanceship between Epstein and Dershowitz, during Epstein’s “pre-pedophile” arrest days back in 2003, attorney-author Dershowitz in a Vanity Affair interview unabashedly boasted:

I’m on my 20th book… The only person outside my immediate family that I send drafts to is Jeffrey.[lvii]

That first name basis sounds not nearly so professional as personal and chummy. Yet when Gawker confronted him on this apparent discrepancy, Dershowitz backslid, admitting:

Epstein was a friend with whom I talked about ideas. We never discussed women or his social life.[lviii]

Yet they flew together a bunch of times surrounded by scantily clad little girl sex slaves on board while en route to Orgy Island. But like “honest” Bill, Dershowitz “never did have sex” with any of those girls, say Jeffrey’s favorite pedo-pals.

Despite such strong evidence that he too participated in Epstein sex crimes, Alan Dershowitz was allowed to lead the best legal dream team Mossad blackmail money could buy. Despite all the proven facts surrounding this case, the Dershowitz dream team successfully “convinced” the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida to neither charge Epstein nor any of his pimp co-conspirators with sex trafficking underage girls across state lines, and of course nor dare prosecute any of the other frequent flying VIP child molesters.[lix] Through the notorious non-prosecution deal, Dershowitz, Prince Andrew, the Clintons and the rest of the famous pedophiles in effect were all guaranteed legal immunity. Though Dershowitz’ name was conspicuously absent from all sweetheart deal documents protecting all above-the-law perps, the civil case that victim Virginia Roberts-Giuffre filed did accuse Dersh-bagging his own immunity, a blatant conflict of interest violation.

In revenge against Roberts-Giuffre’s accusations, Dershowitz promptly countersued vowing to have her attorneys disbarred. Amidst all the controversy, in defense of Mr. Pro-Israel, a Times of Israel gala in NYC including Shimon Peres rewarded Alan Dershowitz with the “Defender of Israel” award.[lx] You can see how the Zionist-Mossad wagons were circling to desperately defend their own… criminal operation. But Virginia Roberts’ attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell beat Dershowitz to the punch, firing off a defamation suit of their own.[lxi] In the end, both sides agreed to drop their litigation against each other in April 2016.[lxii]

However a short time later, Giuffre and her legal team were at it again, filing another lawsuit this time against only Ghislaine Maxwell for defamation of character against Virginia for Maxwell publicly calling Giuffre “a liar” after outing Maxwell’s criminal involvement in the Mossad blackmail operation.[lxiii] As Epstein’s longtime girlfriend and closest partner-in-crime, Maxwell recruited Giuffre at age 15 as a Trump Mar-a-Lago $9 an hour towel girl. For the first time, the judge in the case even ruled that Epstein would be required to take the witness stand, testify and answer questions under oath from his victims’ attorneys.[lxiv] Though the Virginia Roberts-Giuffre case against Ghislaine was set to go to trial in May 2017, as so often occurs at the last minute, an undisclosed, out of court settlement was reached, [lxv] confirming more Mossad-Epstein-Maxwell-Deep State hush money effectively silenced the now somewhat wealthy Virginia Giuffre. Of course after all her years of trauma and stress trying to seek justice in a broken, unjust system, no amount of money can compensate for what she has endured. And so on and on this corrosively corrupt legal game goes, the pedo-perps continue dodging every bullet, never paying for their crimes but only for their continued freedom at only a drop-in-the-bucket price to them and their unlimited coffers.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, and Natalya Malyshev are among the handful of women that the jet setting financier employed from 1997 to 2006, working to recruit underage girls as the victims’ pimping handlers. Maxwell and Kellen were also accused of having sexually abused their sex slaves but the infamous federal plea bargain granted them full immunity from all charges. Additionally, Maxwell allegedly forced victims to engage in lesbian acts with her as well as stored child pornography photos of her victims on her computer.[lxvi] Yet apparently due to the Maxwell family name and its deep Mossad connection, she was given a free pass and to this day remains a free woman never held accountable for her major criminal role in the Mossad blackmail operation.

Taking a closer look at that family name and Ghislaine’s father in particular, considerable circumstantial evidence suggests the heavily indebted billion dollar pension swindler faked his own death and fled to unknown parts somewhere in South America.[lxvii] To avert complications resulting from an autopsy showing a murdered victim in November 1991, most likely Maxwell’s paid double found floating in the Canary Island water without saltwater in his lungs (ruling out drowning as cause of death), the irascible clever crook could have arranged through his high-end ties with Israel a quick Jewish Mount Olive burial. Daddy Maxwell also mentioned on more than one occasion just prior to his alleged death how he was planning to pull a disappearing act in order to escape the fraud charges and debtor’s prison fast closing in on him. With his stolen fortune and new identity, ample speculation portends that double agent Maxwell smart may have helped fund his daughter and Epstein’s perverted criminal Mossad operation.[lxviii] His larger-than-life Jewish State funeral reflected his importance.

Another Epstein victim turned employed victimizer and criminal accomplice is Nadia Marcinkova, who at one time worked as the sex trafficker’s Gulfstream G-H pilot. Epstein refers to Nadia as his own “Yugoslavian sex slave” [lxix] after having literally purchased her at age 14 from her parents in the Balkans.[lxx] Pedo-boy also hired Nadia as his sometime plaything used for lesbian dildo strap-on entertainment while Nadia raped underage girls, per one graphic legal affidavit, all for masturbating boss’ perverse pleasures.[lxxi] It turns out that Nadia and the Hebrew speaking, alleged 9/11 lead terrorist Mohammad Atta were both trained to fly airplanes at the same time and place - Lantana Airport near Palm Beach, reportedly used for CIA and Mossad operations including drug smuggling from the nearby Bahamas and Caribbean into Florida.[lxxii] Like all of Epstein’s hired hands, Nadia was never ever questioned by the police, receiving full immunity with Epstein’s plea bargain. Going by her other surname Marcinko and holding FAA licenses, Nadia has since reinvented herself as a clean-cut, wholesome internet aviatrix active on YouTube and Facebook as a flight instructor pilot with quite a celebrity following.[lxxiii] She’s still flying free as a bird because she knows too much as both victim and perp about the Mossad blackmail game.

Another major scumbag in the Epstein child sex trafficking ring is one Jean-Luc Brunel, the model agency owner of MC2. According to a former bookkeeper at Brunel’s agency, young underage girls from South America, Europe and the former Soviet republics were personally delivered to Epstein as MC2 models via Brunel who was a frequent guest at Epstein residences.[lxxiv] Per the flightlog manifests, Brunel and his underage girls, many of whom did not speak English, often traveled on Epstein’s planes. The MC2 bookkeeper confirmed that in 2005 Brunel and his model agency received a million dollars from Epstein. Though holding an 85% share of the agency, Brunel works mostly in the capacity as a model scout for MC2 around the world. Jean-Luc Brunel has a longtime criminal reputation in the fashion industry for drugging and raping underage girls as featured in a 60 Minutes segment from 1988.[lxxv] Even then he was known to be a procurer of underage girls for the right price. Despite all his known predatory crimes, Epstein’s longtime French friend has never been arrested nor been subpoenaed to testify in the Epstein case. His “charmed” life flagrantly living above the law also strongly suggests pedophile protection from the planetary controllers.

The lawsuits against Epstein just keep coming. Three of his sex trafficking rape victims known in their recent litigation against the registered sex offender as L.M., E.W. and Jane Doe, just last October 2017 were awarded a settlement of $1 million, $2 million and $2.5 million respectively.[lxxvi] But for a whole decade two other plaintiffs represented by the same attorney Brad Edwards, have also been trying to challenge Epstein’s impunity in a lawsuit charging the federal prosecutors led by Trump’s current Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta for violating the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.[lxxvii] It was Acosta in 2007 who allowed the plea bargain agreement for the human trafficking kingpin without informing the plaintiff victims. Their civil rights were violated when prosecutors chose not to try Epstein nor his accomplices for human trafficking and committing hundreds of despicably heinous sex crimes.

Former Epstein chief prosecutor and current US Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta as the southern Florida district US attorney from 2005 to 2009 oversaw making that sickening sweetheart deal for convicted pedophile Epstein.[lxxviii] Subsequently when the then two underage minors learned of Epstein’s virtual non-sentence nearly a year later, they took Epstein and his prosecutors to federal court charging that their rights had been violated under the 2004 Crime Victims’ Rights Act that requires prosecutors to inform victims of any plea bargained arrangement prior to conviction and sentencing.[lxxix] Obviously had they been lawfully looped in, they never would’ve agreed to Epstein’s cushy deal. Uncovering letters between Acosta’s US Attorney’s office and Epstein’s legal defense team, the victims’ lawyers accurately contend that a conspiracy to conceal vital information not to prosecute took place between the government and Epstein attorneys.

After signing off on such a sweet arrangement for a sex slave trafficker and child rapist hundreds of times over, then reacting to the flak once word of the ridiculous deal publicly caught traction, attorney Alexander Acosta defensively wrote in a 2011 letter:

Our judgment in this case, based on the evidence known at the time, was that it was better to have a billionaire serve time in jail, register as a sex offender and pay his victims restitution than risk a trial with a reduced likelihood of success.[lxxx]

Acosta’s bogus rationale claiming the risk that Epstein might walk if brought to trial is at best a feeble attempt to justify his accomplice role while willfully subverting justice to let Epstein do exactly what Acosta claims he was most afraid of - letting the pedophile trafficker walk. The wimpy Alexander described the many months of negotiations prior to the September 2007 non-prosecution agreement as:

A yearlong assault on the prosecution and the prosecutors. I use the word assault intentionally, as the defense in this case was more aggressive than any which I, or the prosecutors in my office, had previously encountered.[lxxxi]

The pit-bullish Dershowitz gang included Kenneth Starr, chief investigator from the Clinton-Lewinsky soap opera who when self-advantageous never fails to evoke the religious high moral ground yet in the next breath claims he’s more than happy to have gotten a pedophile-trafficker off.[lxxxii] [lxxxiii] Other hotshot aces in the hole were Florida trial lawyer Roy Black and star attorney Gerald Lefcourt among others.[lxxxiv] Dershowitz and Lefcourt’s letter to Acosta’s office prior to their successful plea baragin emphasized Epstein’s super close ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton, touting how the billionaire pedophile “co-founded” the infamous Clinton Foundation,[lxxxv] accused by philanthropy law expert Charles Ortel of being “the largest unprosecuted fraud in history.”[lxxxvi] Speaking of which, a whistleblower at a Swiss bank has revealed that Jeffrey Epstein used his Swiss bank account to send Bill Clinton $3.5 million shortly after his pedophilia probe began in 2005.[lxxxvii]

When presidents are outed in any blackmail pedophile operation as Clinton’s predecessor Bush senior was in the Franklin scandal a decade and a half earlier, powerful pedophiles always get away with raping their child sex slave victims. Not once have they been properly charged or prosecuted. And for his part as a good little lawbreaking Deep State robot, less than a decade later Alexander Acosta would be rewarded with an invitation to join the Trump administration cabinet as America’s labor secretary. It appears obvious that Acosta was ordered by the powers-that-shouldn’t-be to accept the plea bargain deal authored by Epstein’s infamous lead lawyer Dershowitz.[lxxxviii]

Aside from dictating the detailed terms of this plea bargain agreement in this complete mockery of justice, the billionaire defense team also explicitly instructed Acosta to break the law by not notifying the victimized plaintiffs about their dirty little secret deal. So a compromised Acosta knowingly violated existing laws as it was almost a year later before the two girls finally learned of this gross travesty of justice. Per the Palm Beach Post, Acosta’s lame excuse subsequently given for not informing the victim plaintiffs was the “prosecutors feared Epstein and his high-powered attorneys were trying to circumvent the deal.”[lxxxix] That absurd nonsense makes absolutely no sense at all if you’re literally gifting the rapist a get out of jail card. No doubt the Luciferian pedophile elite, the smugly protected Epstein and his dream team were gloating over their victory.

Current prosecutors set to defend Acosta’s sweetheart deal have introduced argument that the two victim plaintiffs were complicit in the Epstein crimes since they were later paid by Epstein as still teenagers to procure other underage girls, thereby disqualifying them from protection under the Victims’ Rights Act.[xc] The morally wrong side of every court motion always seizes upon and exploits any and all legal loopholes rather than consider and weigh both legal as well as ethical perspectives together.

Was Acosta’s crucial criminal role in the Epstein case rewarded ten years later by the planetary controllers when sworn in as secretary in charge of all labor that includes forced sexual labor involving global human sex trafficking? Was his selection given his dominion over child sex slavery just more evidence of foxes guarding the henhouse? To this day the ruling pedo elite’s nexus of controlled puppets in high places incudes Epstein’s web of intimately tied connections between the Mossad, the CIA, the Clintons, the British royals, Hollywood, President Trump, his labor secretary and countless others. But more on Trump’s undeniably close link to Jeffrey Epstein a little later.

The presiding judge in another three year old current pending case - Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Donald Hafele, unsurprisingly also appears to be protecting Epstein. In 2015 a lower court dismissed attorney Brad Edwards’ case against Epstein on a technicality that later was overturned by a Florida Supreme Court decision in February 2017.[xci] Edwards is charging Jeffrey Epstein with “malicious prosecution” stemming from Epstein’s 2009 lawsuit that Edwards contends was intended to intimidate him and his two clients who were victims in the 2008 Epstein conviction.

But in December 2017 Judge Hafele not only agreed to delay the trial until March 2018 in order to give Epstein’s attorneys more time to prepare, in and of itself a decision favoring the pedophile, the judge also announced that when it comes to:

… Graphic, sexual questions, the likelihood is that I will not allow them into evidence.[xcii]

To not permit evidence of a graphic sexual nature in a case involving an already convicted pedophile’s crimes is totally absurd. But then justice not once has ever been served when it comes to the world’s most powerful pedophiles ever receiving fair punishment for their countless sordid crimes against children… never. That pathetic reality must change.

Trying to appear fair and objective, the Palm Beach County judge rationalized the trial delay till spring 2018 with the following statement:

Under the circumstances of this unusual and relatively complex case, the court finds that there are simply too many significant, lengthy motions that are pending and need to be heard prior to December 5, 2017, the date that the trial was originally scheduled to commence.[xciii]

On the positive side, the Palm Beach County courtroom with Judge Hafele presiding will be the trial setting where for the first time in his criminally perverse, wicked life, the now 65-year old, kiddie diddling senior citizen might actually have to answer for his crimes after all.[xciv] Additionally, Judge Hafele is permitting evidence and testimony from not only the three victims from last October’s settlement but also from Virginia Roberts-Giuffre and others that Brad Edwards has also represented in previous lawsuits.[xcv] Additionally, the jury will hear about the infamous 2007 plea bargain deal, the contents of which have never been released. Though Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and even Donald Trump are listed as potential witnesses, Edwards’s lawyer said they likely will not be called in to testify.[xcvi] Strangely, Alexander Acosta’s name has yet to come up as a witness, yet he was responsible for breaking the law that permitted Epstein to go unprosecuted resulting in the subsequent miscarriage of justice. That alone may be both telling and troubling although the unlawful Acosta deal is at the heart of the other current pending case.

Existing federal laws then and now specify that human traffickers who commit aggravated sexual abuse, which the Epstein guilty parties repeatedly perpetrated, stipulate a lifetime prison sentence.[xcvii] Aside from child sex trafficking, engaging in sex with girls aged 12-17 falls under federal offense codes that normally carry minimum sentences of ten to fifteen years in prison. Yet when sexually abusing underage girls gets the US gymnastics team doctor up to 175 years in prison while the Mossad operative gets his hand slapped,[xcviii] something’s definitely wrong with that picture. Despite enslaving and raping hundreds of child victims, if you’re an elitist 1%-er financed by Mossad, the Greater Israel Project and US Empire,[xcix] you get off completely and are issued a standard get-out-of-jail card. The mere slap on Jeffrey’s wrist a decade ago allowing all his perps involved in his criminal operation to walk away Scot free is the grossest, most obscene travesty of justice imaginable.

The current pending case in Florida Southern District federal court involving the original two victim plaintiffs’ civil suit initially filed by attorney Brad Edwards back in July 2008 upon learning of the secret non-prosecution deal will award no financial damages to the victims but will determine if the victims’ rights were violated. And if the judge rules in favor, it could reopen the criminal case for long overdue prosecution. Ten years after the fact, shamefully stonewalled by design in a quagmire of the corrupt legal system always aiding, abetting and protecting high profile pedophiles, through tenacious attorney Brad Edwards, these same two longstanding victims are still awaiting justice against their unpunished abuser.

In retaliation for their lawsuit, Jeffrey Epstein filed a 2009 countersuit against Edwards,[c] [ci] bogusly claiming that Edwards was attempting to exploit an easy funding source for Edwards’ law firm founded by the infamous Fort Lauderdale attorney Scott Rothstein who in November 2009 was caught operating the state of Florida’s biggest Ponzi scheme ever.[cii] The now disgraced and barred multi-felon Rothstein is serving a 50-year sentence for fraud after conning a slew of investors out of $1.4 billion claiming they could buy into Rothstein’s wealth of financial settlements from bogus whistleblower, sexual harassment and other cases.[ciii] [civ] The scam operation resulted in over two dozen convictions of fellow attorneys, bankers, cops, mobsters, friends and relatives. In 2012 Epstein was forced to drop his vindictive suit against Edwards for lack of evidence that Edwards himself had any involvement whatsoever in Rothstein’s mega-criminal enterprise.[cv]

Also ensnared in the Rothstein scandal was former Florida Governor Charlie Crist in an apparent biofuel company scam he partnered with the Ponzi kingpin, according to investigative journalist Timothy Holmseth.[cvi] Moreover, back in 2009 Holmseth began unearthing a major international baby sales and child sex trafficking operation in Florida involving Rothstein and his seedy associates, in conjunction with the FBI, CIA, the Florida Department of Children and Family Services, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, US embassies abroad using fake church dossiers and medical records along with a host of other major players.[cvii] So one has to wonder, is it purely a bizarre coincidence that in 2008 while Brad Edwards represented the two underage victims who were never informed of Dershowitz and Acosta’s illicit secret deal to protect Mossad operative Epstein that Edwards for a brief time happened to be working at Scott Rothstein’s law firm in view of Rothstein’s criminality and his direct links to child trafficking? Food for thought.

So the scene is set. Edwards’ current lawsuit against Epstein for malicious prosecution is scheduled for trial in March 2018 with the claim that the billionaire pedophile sought the bogus earlier lawsuit against him out of revenge for Edwards filing the 2008 case in federal court seeking prosecution on behalf of the two plaintiffs for violating the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.[cviii] This is the separate case that Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell have been pursuing in federal court for a decade on behalf of Jane Doe’s 13 and 14 once they learned they weren’t consulted prior to Epstein’s sweetheart deal made back in September 2007.[cix] Last August 2017 the two attorneys Edwards and Cassell submitted their final pleas to US District Judge Kenneth Marra in hopes that the 2007 plea deal will be thrown out so that a new investigation can be launched and the case reopened for prosecution. Last September the federal prosecutors got their chance to defend and justify Acosta’s actions ten years earlier. The stakes in this rare case against the federal government are sky high. In their argument to uphold the 14-year old Crime Victims’ Rights Act, Edwards and Cassell wrote that if the judge dismisses their lawsuit:

… Then the government will never have to give any information in any case to any victim.[cx]

Miami hotshot lawyer and member of Epstein’s dream team Roy Black insists that his former client’s due process would be robbed.[cxi] How about the virginity and innocence of childhood that scores of underage girls had violently robbed by the rapist who hardly paid for his crime, and the stolen rights of the two victims who were shut out of the secret shady deal that Black and company illegally made with Acosta? How about their rights Mr. Black?

Strengthening the case, previous plea bargain deals have been tossed out later for the exact same reason, failure to inform the victims, except those cases were the result of oversights. Epstein’s case was premeditated as Dershowitz explicitly directed Acosta to not let the victims know. Again, per Edwards and Cassell’s written court papers:

The undisputed facts of this case prove that, rather than forthrightly discharging its obligations to numerous child sexual assault victims, the government chose to enter into a secret deal with the man who had victimized them.[cxii]

The prosecutor team even flagrantly lied in a letter sent to the victims in January 2008, four full months after the plea agreement was signed, bogusly claiming that the case was still under investigation. With the sweetheart deal of a lifetime already a done deal, Acosta’s team wrote:

This can be a lengthy process and we request your continued patience while we conduct a thorough investigation.[cxiii]

If Judge Marra makes the only moral and legal right decision to order federal prosecutors to reopen the investigation and potentially move the case finally to prosecution and trial, correcting the feds’ egregious behavior over a decade earlier, it would both establish a national precedent but most importantly be a fatal blow to the international pedo crime cabal. Apparently still stalling for time, Judge Marra has yet to make his momentous decision. Meanwhile, the world is watching.

If the so called US justice system was actually a real justice system, it would throw out the horrendous 2007 non-prosecution/immunity deal and finally try Epstein on child sex trafficking charges as well as raping and sodomizing hundreds of young girls in addition to throwing out the immunity deal to Epstein’s pimping accomplices and the dozens of powerful pedophile patrons caught on camera and prosecute all of them for their countless child sex crimes. And then go after the Mossad, Israel, and the CIA-Vatican-Rothschild deep state alliance that essentially runs the global pedophilia trafficking network. But in all of human history, the ruling elite’s puppets have never been brought to justice, much less their ruling handlers. Trump’s so called war on the pedophilic deep state must produce results. Again the mantra “seeing is believing” comes readily to mind.

The fact remains that not one big name pedophile has ever been historically indicted, much less ever served serious time. The worst child sodomizing offenders at the top of the pedo-food chain are chronically allowed to live out their long lives till their natural deaths despite the tons of incriminating evidence flimsily concealed protecting them. Their years of Satanic beastly crimes are simply tolerated so that the Sir Jimmy Saviles[cxiv] (biggest pedophile in UK history as celebrated legendary entertainer and pimp for the royals) and Sir Edward Heaths[cxv] (former UK prime minister) of the world don’t have to be bothered with facing any real consequences for all their ungodly sins during their lifetimes. And in the case of Epstein, the Podestas, the Clintons and Bushes, if this longstanding unbroken status quo prevails, those monsters will never be held accountable either, despite repeatedly raping, murdering and destroying millions and millions of children’s lives.

The pedophilia cabal that from the get-go financed Epstein’s Mossad-CIA linked blackmail operation continues into a second decade merely paying off dozens of his underage victims in order to avoid prosecution that would ultimately force full public exposure of the Illuminati-Zionist elite’s diabolical machination that maintains absolute global control over all its pedophile puppets in high places. Because far too much is at stake here, the planetary controllers’ Luciferian strategy is to simply keep feeding unlimited hush money to continue successfully silencing Epstein’s never ending supply of past victims - anything to prevent the dark ugly truth about their massive global blackmail control system from ever seeing the full light of day. So it’s up to us citizens of the world to get informed by arming ourselves with the truth and quickly reach critical mass demanding that justice finally be served. The pedo crime cabal has gotten away with it for way, way, way too long now.

In October and November 2016 just prior to the presidential election, psychiatrist and longtime intelligence operative within the US State Department Steve Pieczenik publicly stated that both Bill and Hillary Clinton are pedophiles having made multiple trips on their buddy’s Lolita Express to his Caribbean sex slave island.[cxvi] Pieczenik explained that both the FBI and NYPD possess the necessary evidence discovered on disgraced ex-congressman and fellow convicted pedophile Anthony Weiner’s laptop that fully exposes the Bush-Clinton-Obama Deep State perversions, corrosive cronyism and treasonous high crimes long embedded in Washington,[cxvii] since JFK’s assassination over a half century ago. Weeks prior to the election, Steve accused Obama and Clintons of pulling off a tyrannical coup and Pieczenik’s group of insiders countering it with a “soft coup” of their own via the information war on the internet along with all the WikiLeaks’ releases.

His second appearance on YouTube comments on the then breaking Clinton sex scandal as further evidence of their counter-coup’s success. Weiner, his wife and longtime Hillary aide Huma Abedin, and Clintons all made trips to Epstein’s “Orgy Island.” In addition to her plethora of high crimes, turns out Hillary has a well-documented history as a sexual predator of underage girls as well.[cxviii] She was caught on video with her longtime lover Huma having sex with a young girl. Law enforcement officials investigating serial rapist Bill Clinton also have the goods on Bill’s pedophilia proclivities. For months if not years reports have maintained that authorities are fast closing in on the former president and his partner-in-crime wife. Yet the world still waits for their turn behind bars.

Epstein is the most infamous case in recent years incriminatingly linking the Clintons, Anthony Weiner, his estranged wife Huma[cxix] and our current president. After Epstein was investigated in 2005, indicted in 2006, illegally given the deal of the century in 2007 and convicted in 2008 of pedophilia, the sex ring ringleader was forced to register as a sex offender.[cxx] His compound on his private Caribbean island Little St. James was the getaway destination for countless high profile pedophiles who “partied” having sex with child slaves with hidden blackmail cameras always running in every room. In addition to the Clintons and Weiners, Alan Dershowitz, Prince Andrew and Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey are all known to have traveled on Epstein’s private Boeing 727.[cxxi] Other notable Lolita Express-Sex Slave Island partakers include a motley crew of former Israeli Prime Minister (1999-2001) Ehud Barak, physicist Stephen Hawking, rocker Kurt Cobain’s widow Courtney Love and actor Chris Tucker. Just one year after his legal hand slap, in 2010 Epstein and his girl Maxwell were both invited to daughter Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.[cxxii] So much for the disinfo propaganda insisting that the Clintons abruptly cut off all contact with the registered sex offender once he was arrested in 2006. Like Prince Andrew, old pedo ties to Jeffrey Epstein die hard.

With more lawsuits still showing up on the books, yet another new civil case was filed against Epstein and his fellow child sex traffickers that was scheduled for a pretrial conference on March 9th, 2017.[cxxiii] But that one likely faded from the media resulting in yet another sleazy quiet undisclosed payoff. Police and judicial records document that Epstein had unlawful sex with at least 40 or more girls under age 18 and has been allowed to simply pay dozens of them off with confidentially sealed financial out-of-court settlements.[cxxiv] Estimates including Epstein’s teenage victims who have chosen to forego legal action number into the hundreds. But the insulated systemic protection supplied by our morally bankrupted legal system shielding Epstein and his high powered pedophile friends like the Clintons from justice for decades on end may potentially be coming to an end.

Recall that Trump promised at the second 2016 presidential debate that when he was in the Oval Office, he’d put Hillary Clinton behind bars, receiving highest marks from millions of debate scorekeepers.[cxxv] On another occasion, Trump alluded to “a lot of legal problems coming up” for Bill over his past Epstein liaisons.[cxxvi] Yet once winning the election, the president suddenly backed off, claiming that Hillary “has been through enough.”[cxxvii] There can be no disputing the fact that Donald Trump and the Clintons were both in tight with the same convicted pedophile buddy Epstein, and clearly ran with the same highbrow New York-Palm Beach crowds.

A 2003 New York Magazine article reported that Trump attended a dinner party at Epstein’s Big Apple mansion honoring Bill Clinton.[cxxviii] Both Trump and Epstein are on record financially donating on more than one occasion to the Clinton machine. And Trump has taken a series of chummy photographs together with the Clintons, one on a boys club golf outing with Bill that included former NYC mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg,[cxxix] as well as other choice family album pics with the Trumps and Bill Clinton arm and arm and the Donald yukking it up with the Clintons appearing the best of friends not all that many years ago.[cxxx] [cxxxi]

If President Trump drops the ball on his promise to drain the swamp, starting with the two biggest swamp rats of them all - Bill and Hillary Clinton, we will all definitely know whose side he’s really on, and that he’s nothing more than a compromised fellow swamp rat himself. And if the Clintons’ shady, murderously treasonous, criminal pedophile past doesn’t finally catch up to them and land them both in jail, of course it will only mean that “birds of a feather flock together” and status quo continues to permit the earth’s most powerful evildoers to enjoy their entire lifetimes living above the law. Trump loyalists will be hard put to defend and explain their crowned champion should he fail to hold the Clintons and their Deep State crime cabal bent on destroying both him and the United States fully accountable.

But also since becoming president, in recent months rumors are a-buzzing over Hillary and McCain often pictured wearing boots and leg casts, allegedly concealing their law enforcement issued ankle bracelets while under house arrest.[cxxxii] Meanwhile, one or both of the Podesta brothers are in ill health and reported to be in custody, possibly already awaiting a military tribunal at an expanded wing of Guantanamo Prison.[cxxxiii] Per last year’s Trump signed December 21st executive order[cxxxiv] declaring a national emergency, the president is said to have declared an all-out war against the army of Deep State traitors, allegedly rounding up and arresting countless suspects on treason, human rights violations including trafficking while seizing their assets.[cxxxv] All this speculative hype including the thousands of sealed indictments has given renewed hope to millions of Americans praying that the rottenest, baddest apples at the top of the predator food chain are fast being delivered to their long-awaited prison cellblocks.[cxxxvi]

But before we get too carried away with wishful thinking, a closer look at the personal history between President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein might explain and even determine the outcome of whether the swamp is actually getting drained. It’s public knowledge that the current president was a longtime close friend of pedophile Epstein. In a 2002 New York Magazine issue, Trump gave this glowing report on his pedo-pal:

I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy… he's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it - Jeffrey enjoys his social life.[cxxxvii]

From this brief but highly revealing account, it’s pretty obvious the Donald knew back in 2002 that his longtime bud was in fact a pedophile three whole years before Epstein ever got caught.

What we do know from both media and police records, Epstein’s infamous black book contains 14 personal phone numbers belonging to Donald Trump, including his ex-wife Ivana and daughter Ivanka as well as his then future wife Malania.[cxxxviii] The list of names in his phone book reads like a who’s who amongst the mega-elite. To name drop a few: Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia, war criminal Tony Blair, former Utah governor and GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman, Senator Ted Kennedy, globalist guru-war criminal Henry Kissinger and major political donor heavyweights David Koch and Pepe Fanjul. Under the bizarre heading “Jeffrey” were more power players: Lolita Express flyers Ehud Barak and Alan Dershowitz, John Kerry, former senator turned lobbyist George Mitchell, another VIP lobbyist Thomas Quinn and the late globalist David Rockefeller[cxxxix] as well as another Lolita Express flier Naomi Campbell, Richard Branson, Michael Bloomfield and Dustin Hoffman.[cxl] Queen Elizabeth, Saudi King Salman as well as Edward and Evelyn de Rothschild were also listed.[cxli] No doubt the Mossad and Greater Israel Project would love to have all these top globalists in their back pocket.

Also records demonstrate that Trump has made phone calls to Epstein, dined and partied at both of the pedophile’s Florida and Manhattan mansions, that Epstein has been a regular visitor at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, that is until Trump learned that Epstein sexually assaulted an underage girl at Trump’s resort, according to attorney Brad Edwards.[cxlii] Also per a 2009 deposition, Jeffrey’s younger brother Mark stated that Trump has flown on Epstein’s infamous plane.[cxliii] The Donald and pedo-pal Epstein of course are mutual friends with fellow alleged pedophile Prince Andrew. From a January 2016 Vice News article:

Epstein and Maxwell were repeat guests at Mar-A-Lago. In 2000, they hung out there with Prince Andrew, who arrived for vacation on Trump’s private plane. That same year, the Palm Beach Post reported that Trump, Epstein, Prince Andrew, and Maxwell were all at a tennis tournament/celebrity event at Mar-A-Lago.[cxliv]

But the Donald-Jeffrey association may go far deeper, darker and more incriminating than just that. Another bizarre twist hit Trump in the run-up to his 2016 election when yet another alleged underage victim going by the pseudonym Katie Johnson first filed an April lawsuit in California that was thrown out. But then a few months later in June she filed another in New York against both Epstein and then presidential candidate Trump. Johnson accused Trump of raping her repeatedly when she was only 13.[cxlv] One of Epstein’s recruiters of underage girls calling herself Tiffany Doe also claimed that there exists corroborating evidence that Tiffany not only furnished Oklahoma runaway Katie Johnson as barely a teen aspiring model fetched fresh from 42nd Street Port Authority to a Trump attended Jeffrey party at the Wexner soon-to-be Epstein’s sex mansion where Katie alleges she was raped in violent sexual roleplays by Trump at several of his pedo buddy’s soirees in 1993 and 1994. Her account of events from her lawsuit states:

The recruiter suggested that she might become a model if she met the right people at a fashionable party. That was a typical approach used by Epstein’s recruiters, who leveraged his high-level contacts with fashion, modelling, photography, travel, political and entertainment figures to entice girls, tweens and teens, according to court records.[cxlvi]

Johnson contends that Trump knew she was 13 in 1993 when he raped her at four different parties she attended.[cxlvii] At the final party, again an extraction from her lawsuit describes the encounter:

Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no effect. Defendant Trump responded to Plaintiff’s pleas by violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.[cxlviii]

At two of these four parties Katie Johnson alleged that Jeffrey Epstein also raped her, once after Trump did his damage. From her lawsuit account Johnson maintains that Epstein penetrated her:

… anally and vaginally despite her loud pleas to stop. She stated that Epstein attempted to strike her on the head with his closed fists, while he angrily screamed that he [Epstein], rather than Trump, should have been the one who took the girl’s virginity.[cxlix]

Pettily and egomaniacally enraged over ending up with “sloppy seconds,” pig Epstein’s sense of entitlement thinking nothing of callously and brutally destroying children’s lives provides a psychopathic glimpse into the elite’s monstrously demonic, pathological world. As is standard treatment in child abuse cases, per the Johnson lawsuit, both Trump and Epstein separately warned her that if she ever revealed what they did, she and and her family would be “physically harmed if not killed.”[cl]

Of course when the Katie Johnson bombshell surfaced briefly in 2016 along with all the other charges of sexual harassment from alleged victims, Trump categorically denied any and all sexual impropriety accusations. His spokesman Alan Garten’s initial claim was that Trump had no relationship with Epstein, then when confronted with conflicting evidence, Trump “barely knew” him.[cli] But with sex allegations still lingering over Trump during his first year as president, in light of an alleged 2016 hush money payoff over a 2006 affair with an adult film actress while married, in October 2017 his White House Press Secretary insisted:

All the women who have accused President Trump of sexual harassment are lying.[clii]

Allegations that a 17-year-old was forced to have sex with Britain’s Prince Andrew, which prompted a crisis at Buckingham Palace earlier this year, have been removed from a federal court case by a judge in the US.

Judge Kenneth Marra ordered Virginia Roberts’s accusations about Andrew, the Duke of York, to be struck from the record and denied her attempt to join a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein, a friend of the prince and a convicted sex offender.

“At this juncture in the proceedings, these lurid details are unnecessary,” Marra wrote in his order, issued at the US district court in southern Florida on Tuesday morning. “These unnecessary details shall be stricken.”

Andrew and Buckingham Palace vehemently deny Roberts’s allegations.

Marra made no ruling or statement about the veracity of Roberts’s allegations. He said the “factual details regarding with whom and where” she had sex were “immaterial and impertinent” to her argument that she should be allowed to join the lawsuit.

However, Marra noted that Roberts may yet appear as a witness when the long-running case finally goes to trial.

Brad Edwards, an attorney for Roberts, said in a statement that her legal team “absolutely respect” the judge’s ruling, which had recognised Roberts’s right to take part in the case as a witness. Roberts said: “I’m happy to get to participate in this important case.”

A Buckingham Palace official said the Duke had been informed of the Florida court’s ruling and was spending this week in private, before resuming his schedule of public engagements next week.

His spokesman declined to comment further but referred back to repeated palace denials of Roberts claims, including a 3 January statement that “it is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.”

Five court filings in the Florida case, including a document filed on December 30 last year in which Andrew was first accused, were immediately sealed from the public.

The filing at that time placed Andrew under intense pressure, forcing him to return to his home at Windsor from Verbier in Switzerland where he was on a skiing holiday with a party including his daughter Princess Beatrice.

The duke only resumed public engagements at the World Economic Forum in Davos in late January where he was pursued by reporters and used a short speech “to reiterate and to reaffirm” the existing emphatic Buckingham Palace denials of what courtiers described as “lurid and deeply personal” claims.

Buckingham Palace broke with convention to directly address the sex claims, and Andrew approved a statement which vehemently denied “any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts”. It continued: “The allegations made are false and without any foundation.”

Roberts, who is referred to in the case only as Jane Doe 3, and a fourth woman were seeking to join two other alleged victims of Epstein in suing the US government over a plea deal that federal prosecutors struck with the hedge fund tycoon in 2008.

Under the plea agreement, Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl. He received an 18-month jail sentence and served 13 months before being released. He remains a registered sex offender in Florida and the US Virgin Islands, where he lives on a private island.

The agreement was criticised as being extraordinarily lenient by attorneys for a series of women who allege that Epstein sexually abused them when they were under the age of consent. The FBI, which took over the investigation into Epstein, said it had identified dozens of potential victims.

Roberts has for years alleged that she travelled around the world with Epstein as his “sex slave” and was made to have sex with some of his influential associates, including prominent politicians and royalty.

Marra ruled on Tuesday that the application by Roberts and Jane Doe 4 should be denied, as it was “entirely unnecessary” for the pair to be added as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The women suing Epstein allege that the government’s plea deal violated their rights as victims.

Describing Roberts’s allegations as “duplicative” of the existing lawsuit, the judge said the lawsuit already sought to overturn Epstein’s plea agreement on behalf of all “other similarly-situated victims”.

Marra noted in his order that US law empowers judges to “strike from a pleading an insufficient defense or any redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous matter.”

Allegations that Roberts was also made to have sex with Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor and another friend of Epstein, were also struck from the case by Marra. The judge said a legal attempt by Dershowitz to intervene in the case was now unnecessary.

In recent weeks the duke has carried out more engagements, including opening the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) Air Response Unit prior to Easter and before that leading a “Pitch@Palace” event, a Dragons Den-style scheme to match investors with entrepreneurs using technology in the creative industries.

Steve Pieczenik was born in Havana, Cuba of Eastern European Jewish parents fleeing the Holocaust, he was raised in France and in the United States, where he received degrees in Psychiatry and International Relations from Harvard, Cornell and MIT. He served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance and James Baker and has collaborated on two bestselling book series with spy novelist, Tom Clancy.
https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/steve-pieczenik-the-mossad-epstein-co nnection/

Pieczenik says here that the Jeffrey Epstein case touches on both 9/11 and on the future of Israel and the takedown of Epstein is a warning to Israel to make peace with Palestine or else.

He goes on to say that Israel was involved in 9/11 and in the stand-down of the United States. This was confirmed to him by former Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz, as well as his deputy and by two Israeli Mossad operatives who Pieczenik interrogated and had "put away."

He says Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilia ring was a Mossad operation. "Jeff Epstein was picked out by the Mossad as the proper agent of influence, because number one, he was grandiose, two, he had some intelligence but came from a poor Jewish background, had no real education, did not speak a foreign language and was so narcissistic that they could manipulate him up and down..."

Pieczenik also claims that Epstein's girlfriend was his Mossad control operative. "[Ghislaine] Maxwell, the daughter of Robert Maxwell, one of the greatest crooks in the world, who was an Israeli Mossad operative...one of the biggest contributors to Israeli national security of anybody."

He explains that the use of honey traps in intelligence operations is widespread and the use of children in sexual entrapment operations is an extremely effective way to gain control over over a targeted subject. He says this technique was developed to great effect by two Mossad Chiefs, Efraim Halevy and Danny Yatom.

"The Mossad incurred so many operatives that were involved with pedophilia under the Epstein ring and under the NXIVM ring, with the two Bronfman daughters, that you're talking about thousands of people. Now, it also goes all the way up into the presidency. It goes into the Bush family; Bush Jr., Jeb. It goes into the Clintons. As we know, Hillary, Bill Clinton, who's a pathological liar to the nth degree, to Obama who had a history of homosexuality and pedophilia, all the way down to the Bushes and beyond that.

"Jeff Epstein was a willing operative. He willingly was involved in pedophilia. The Israelis knew that. They created his storyline, that made believe he was a "billionaire", Wexner was the theoretical backup man to him...

"So, we have a lot of corruption here, which goes all the way back to 9/11 when we had Jews, like Silverstein, who had the lease to the World Trade Center. We had Lowry, we had Lauder and we had Eisenberg, all of whom were involved in the stand down in the false flag of 9/11.

"So, from 9/11 on, Trump understood that the Israelis had been involved in our intelligence service and in compromising America. He never forgot that. And what he did, blatantly was to turn around and on a certain day, he decided he was going to indict every one of the Mossad operatives, as well as the Israelis on charges of pedophilia - not on charges of spying, because that wouldn't work.

"Acosta, the Secretary of Labor was correct when he said that Epstein got off from the prosecutors' indictment in Florida because he worked in the intelligence service...

"Israel has been placed on notice because our ambassador...as well as Kushner have made a very clear statement, 'Israel you're on notice. If you do not make a peace treaty with the Palestinians, there will be more serious repercussions than you imagine. The beginning of the takedown of your Mossad operatives, who are all present and we will put them in prison, is just the beginning of what we can do to the future of Israel.'"

The Epstein Associate Nobody's Talking About: The IDF-Linked Bond Girl Infiltrating the UK NHS
by JOHNNY VEDMORE 9 days ago in CORRUPTION
https://theswamp.media/the-epstein-associate-nobody-s-talking-about-th e-idf-linked-bond-girl-infiltrating-the-uk-nhs

FIFA Corruption, the Panama Papers, the Mossad, and Nicole Junkermann

I have a story to tell you. A story that causes my heart to pound and my blood pressure to rise as I type each and every word. A true story of a woman of great wealth and power, who rode on Jeffrey Epstein’s “Lolita Express” private jet on several occasions. She appears to be a German-born Israeli state intelligence operative based in London. An ex-model whose name appeared in the Panama Papers from the Mossack Fonseca leaks and who became embroiled in a FIFA corruption scandal with Sepp Blatter and his family. She is perhaps the closest example that you could possibly find to a real-life “Bond Girl.” Yet, she is almost completely unknown to the majority of us.

This lady has recently infiltrated the NHS through the UK Department of Health and Social Care with the help of Matt Hancock MP, and her presence signifies a major threat to the data security of every citizen of the United Kingdom. Every single piece of data about you, your health issues, your blood type, the model of the wireless pacemaker keeping you alive, every detail of every embarrassing medical problem in the hands of the Israeli state apparatus and potentially sold off to the highest bidder. You may think that this doesn’t concern you. Why would you need to worry about a foreign far-right government which has been proven to meddle in the affairs of our country? Your data would be useless to them, surely? But that’s not the world we live in anymore. Big data is the modern gold rush. The psychologists and marketing agents have mastered how to make you buy things; the next step is for them to successfully master making you do things, and for that kind of control over people, they need everybody’s data.

When I was first researching the Jeffrey Epstein case, I trawled through every piece of official documentation that was available. I knew what I was looking for and how very dangerous it was. I had begun attempting to identify state assets through their movements, actions, associations, and by good old fashioned detective work. I was interested in identifying any MI5 or MI6 agents, Israeli Mossad, CIA, or any other part of a nation states spying apparatus. It’s possibly one of the most dangerous hobbies on earth, spy hunting, and if I’m honest, I’m not even sure why I’m doing it. Regardless, Jeffrey Epstein’s sweetheart deal was probably what they would give to a foreign intelligence operative. Epstein was a perfect place to begin fishing for potential spooks.

Once I find somebody who I suspect of being involved in espionage, I will track down all existing information on that individual and build the story of their lives as best as I can. I learn every known habit they have and instead of immediately writing an article about them, I just continue to note their activities with interest. I have been watching many potential state actors for a fair few years. I’ve also missed out on breaking a few good stories by waiting for too long. But I don’t want to simply show you the past as much as I want to show you the present, and even possibly, the future.

Investigation Manifest


In the Epstein case, one of the best pieces of evidence which was available to researchers was the flight manifest for his child trafficking molestation machine. There were many coded initials and a few famous names noted in the official documentation. As you probably already know, Bill Clinton and his Secret Service agents had ridden the infamous “Lolita Express” on many occasions. Naomi Campbell, Kevin Spacey, Alan Dershowitz and Chris Tucker also flew on the plane with the billionaire sex offender.

We all build up recognisable patterns of behaviour over time. When you investigate someone, you usually start by identifying these patterns and then looking for any divergences from the anticipated outcomes. In Epstein’s planes flight manifest, a pattern which was visible from the information available is how he would use his private jet. He would use the plane for two main reasons. Most commonly he would fly himself and a number of his entourage to a destination, or alternatively he would fly people to meet him. The rarest occurrence was when Epstein would fly without any of his usual entourage and just one other passenger. There was only one name that jumped out from the flight manifest as a good example of when Epstein alternated from his routine. His second meeting with Nicole Junkermann.

As of 2019, Nicole Junkermann’s current business portfolio is very impressive. She’s often described as an ex-model, entrepreneur and investor, but Ms. Junkermann is much more than just what you see at first glance. Born in Dusseldorf, Germany on 27th April 1975, Nicole Junkermann studied Business Administration at the International University of Monaco, and then went onto study Management Development at the prestigious Harvard Business School in the United States. Amongst her many talents she is multilingual and can speak German, English, French, Italian, and Spanish. In 1998, after graduating from the University of Monaco, she co-founded “Winamax,” which was an early online gaming platform that existed before online gaming regulation became a priority for the authorities. Winamax was sold in 2001 and Junkermann would go on to invest in a recently created media rights company called “Infront Sports and Media AG,” where she would soon serve as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.


The then President and Chief Executive at Infront Sports and Media, Phillipe Blatter.

In 2002, Junkermann acquired the rights for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany with her relatively new company Infront Sports and Media. The company was best known at this time for its president and chief executive, Philippe Blatter, the nephew of Sepp Blatter, the then president of FIFA. This overt nepotistic corruption left Junkermann’s Infront Sports and Media as the company to market the TV rights to major FIFA tournaments. It went on to acquire the rights to all of FIFA’s World Cups, and even though this deal was watered down in 2006, in 2011 FIFA again gave Infront permission to sell the TV rights, in the Asian markets, for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

During her time at Infront Sports and Media, Junkermann would be caught flying on Jeffrey Epstein’s “Lolita Express” on three occasions. The first flight recorded, on 22nd March 2002, she would share with Epstein, Sean Koo, and one other passenger, but it’s her second trip which really stands out. On Saturday 31st August 2002, Jeffrey Epstein and Nicole Junkermann would fly from Paris Le Bourget Airport to Birmingham Airport, in the UK, alone. They would return to Paris, via the same route, on Monday 2nd September 2002. For Jeffrey Epstein to fly without any of his normally present entourage is very unusual. So what was happening that weekend? I’ve done a lot of research on these dates, but as of yet, I do not have any answers.

At that time, Junkermann was 27 years old, so it’s very unlikely that they were dating, as everyone knows Jeffrey Epstein isn’t interested in fully sexually developed adults. Finding this anomaly on Epstein’s plane manifest encouraged me to look deeper into the life of Nicole Junkermann, and amongst other things, whether or not she had any links to a state intelligence agency. Were Junkermann and Epstein meeting alone for innocent reasons? Even though Junkerman had made many investments already, she might have been trying to get more funds from an eager investor like Epstein. How Epstein originally accrued his billions is still quite a murky subject in itself.

Whatever the reason for these two incredibly rich people being together, this meeting was a very private one. Junkermann had also just completed Harvard University's Program for Management Development, and Jeffrey Epstein had a high-profile relationship with Harvard which, in 2003, led to him donating $30,000,000.00 to the Ivy League college. Was Epstein using the famous American college to recruit for his own businesses or other interests?

More Epstein later, but firstly, continuing with Junkermann’s career, in 2005 she founded a private equity fund focused on media and sports investments in Asia and Europe called “United in Sports” and managed to raised €242.2 million for the venture in 2007. Her other project, Infront Sports and Media, was ultimately sold to a European private equity firm, Bridgepoint, for €600 million in 2011. In that year Nicole Junkermann had officially become one of the hottest investors in the world. Since her very first acquisitions which I’ve already referred to, Junkermann has invested in or purchased: Shanghai Really Sports, Ziggurat, Thousand-Child, Aloha, Jobbio, Emoticast, Elvie, Auctionata, Coindrum, Spoon Guru, Optiopay, Grabyo, Magnum Global Ventures, Songza, tausendkind, Revolut, Sentient Technologies, Here be Dragons, Soundtrack Your Brand, Groq, Catapult, Delivery Club, Relate IQ, DollarShaveClub, Bruhouse Brewery, Cage Warriors, Eagle Alpha, Gokixx, Rebuy.de, Travelbird, Healthtech Digital, OWKIN, Reporty Homeland Security, and Carbyne911. The latter four of these companies are of significant interest.

The Israeli Intelligence Connection


The link between Nicole Junkermann, the Israeli state intelligence services and the Israeli Defence Force is not a tenuous one. The ominously named “Reporty Homeland Security” was the first incarnation of what is now called “Carbyne911” and is referred to as simply “Carbyne.” Described as a “global leader in public safety technology,” Carbyne is a call handling platform app that allows you to, amongst other things, stream any ongoing emergency directly to the responding emergency services. It claims, in the information section of a promotional video on YouTube entitled “Nicole Junkermann presents Carbyne,” that it will:

“provide a plug and play solution that allows 911 callers to connect their smartphone features to the emergency operator so that the operator can make a better assessment of the emergency. Location data, audio, camera and video access can be shared, providing the operator with greater detail on the situation. The use of Carbyne’s solution will allow emergency management teams to better triage their cases and improve the utilization of downstream emergency services.”
They promise to combine the use of personal data, location data, live video, data from surrounding wearable tech, and even information from parked smart cars, to deliver more information to the emergency services who should be responding. They can pinpoint your location, even indoors, to within three feet, and they claim that they can even collect data from dropped calls. However, they fail to mention how they’ll get the permission to use such masses of available data. Who are these angels behind this revolutionary technology which aims to get between a victim and the emergency services?

One of the directors of Carbyne is Nicole Junkermann. The chairman of the board of directors is Ehud Barak, the 10th Prime Minister of Israel, the 14th Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, former Minister of Defense and former Head of Military Intelligence for Israel. Ehud Barak has had a long history as one of the more public faces of Israeli covert operations. Before he was Prime Minister, Ehud Barak was a big name in the IDF. Through the 1970’s, he led many operations including famously disguising himself as a woman to kill members of the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organisation). Ehud Barak has already been linked with Epstein, and Benjamin Netanyahu has helped to highlight those links for his own political gain.






Another of Carbyne’s directors and board members is Brigadier Pinchas Buchris, the former Deputy Commander of an elite IDF operations unit and former Commander of the IDF 8200 Cyber Intelligence Unit. Amir Elichai is the Founder and CEO of Carbyne, he is also a former Israeli Army officer who served in various positions in the special elite forces and the intelligence corps. Alex Dizengof is Carbyne’s Co-Founder & CTO. He’s described as a Software Architect and Algorithms Developer. Dizengof had previously developed machine learning algorithms for robots and mobile platforms, as well as cyber security software for the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office.

These people have always been serious Israeli State assets and it would be naive to think anything has changed. It seems that Nicole Junkermann has some serious partners, and it makes me wonder whether or not Jeffrey Epstein’s original meeting with the then recently graduated Junkermann was as a recruiter for the Mossad.

Junkermann's infiltration of the UK NHS and its Big Data


The only tiny picture of the Healthtech Advisory Board from .gov

I watched Nicole Junkermann carefully as she was buying up many start-up tech firms and at the end of 2018 my worst possible fear was realised. Matt Hancock, Member of Parliament for West Suffolk and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in the UK, appointed Nicole Junkermann to the Healthtech Advisory Board. For the vast majority of people living in the United Kingdom, the NHS is an institution which we cherish and adore. Many of us will protect the National Health Service with our lives because that’s what it has done for us in our darkest days.

The Healthtech Advisory Board is described as a collection of clinicians, academics, and IT experts. The official government website says “the board will look at how the NHS can harness the potential of technology and create a culture of innovation, with the aim of improving patient outcomes and reducing the workload on NHS staff.” It fails to mention why it requires an Israeli intelligence linked venture capitalist who has been involved in multiple scandals. Their first official meeting took place on 19th November 2018—see Appendix I for the other members of the Healthtech Advisory Board.

The two members which are of note relating to this story are Nicole Junkermann and Parker Moss, the latter happening to be the Chief Business Officer at OWKIN, which is one of the many companies in Junkermann’s vast portfolio. OWKIN is an AI startup that uses machine learning to augment medical and biology research. On its own, the company would probably be a perfect fit for the future of the NHS, but because of its connection to Nicole Junkermann and Israeli intelligence, OWKIN should be seen as too much of a risk to the data protection for NHS users.


NJF Holdings website announces NHS big data win

On June 16th 2019, Nicole Junkerman’s NJF holdings website issued an article under the title “London Hospital’s Could Offer Patient Data to Google-backed AI Startup in a Bid to Develop Better Drugs.” It was exactly as I had expected. The convoluted title was celebrating the fact that OWKIN had already been promised NHS patient data, and they’re already confidently announcing it to their investors, and their other associates. We need to call for Matt Hancock to remove Nicole Junkermann from the Healthtech Advisory Board as of immediate effect, and we should have an inquiry into how NHS data can be protected from hostile foreign intelligence agencies.

Junkermann and Epstein - Conclusions

I believe that the future unsealing of previously hidden evidence will confirm that Jeffrey Epstein had been working for multiple intelligence agencies. But he is most likely to have been recruited by the Israeli state. Junkermann has managed to avoid her connections with Epstein being out in the open, until now. But she is skilled at controlling her public profile. Nicole Junkermann has become more powerful over the past eight years, and I have seen negative information relating to her previous scandals being removed from the search results. Go check yourself. Type in Nicole Junkermann on Google search and go through all the articles which appear. They are overwhelmingly positive, or simply relate to one of her businesses, and this is very different to what you would have found only a few years ago. When I first started investigating Nicole Junkermann, there were many negative articles which have all but vanished. I’m not even sure that this story will survive.

So, I ask you all to share this and publish it on your blogs and websites, and to bring the name Nicole Junkermann into the public eye.

Also, if I disappear anytime soon, remember. It was probably the Mossad.

Hidden in Plain Sight: The Shocking Origins of the Jeffrey Epstein Case
Epstein is only the latest incarnation of a much older, more extensive and sophisticated operation that offers a frightening window into how deeply tied the U.S. government is to the modern-day equivalents of organized crime.

by Whitney Webb - July 18th, 2019
https://www.mintpressnews.com/shocking-origins-jeffrey-epstein-blackma il-roy-cohn/260621/

By Whitney Webb Whitney Webb

Despite his “sweetheart” deal and having seemingly evaded justice, billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was arrested earlier this month on federal charges for sex trafficking minors. Epstein’s arrest has again brought increased media attention to many of his famous friends, the current president among them.

Many questions have since been asked about how much Epstein’s famous friends knew of his activities and exactly what Epstein was up to. The latter arguably received the most attention after it was reported that Alex Acosta — who arranged Epstein’s “sweetheart” deal in 2008 and who recently resigned as Donald Trump’s Labor Secretary following Epstein’s arrest — claimed that the mysterious billionaire had worked for “intelligence.”

Other investigations have made it increasingly clear that Epstein was running a blackmail operation, as he had bugged the venues — whether at his New York mansion or Caribbean island getaway — with microphones and cameras to record the salacious interactions that transpired between his guests and the underage girls that Epstein exploited. Epstein appeared to have stored much of that blackmail in a safe on his private island.






Claims of Epstein’s links and his involvement in a sophisticated, well-funded sexual blackmail operation have, surprisingly, spurred few media outlets to examine the history of intelligence agencies both in the U.S. and abroad conducting similar sexual blackmail operations, many of which also involved underage prostitutes.

In the U.S. alone, the CIA operated numerous sexual blackmail operations throughout the country, employing prostitutes to target foreign diplomats in what the Washington Post once nicknamed the CIA’s “love traps.” If one goes even farther back into the U.S. historical record it becomes apparent that these tactics and their use against powerful political and influential figures significantly predate the CIA and even its precursor, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). In fact, they were pioneered years earlier by none other than the American Mafia.

In the course of this investigation, MintPress discovered that a handful of figures who were influential in American organized crime during and after Prohibition were directly engaged in sexual blackmail operations that they used for their own, often dark, purposes.

In Part I of this exclusive investigation, MintPress will examine how a mob-linked businessman with deep ties to notorious gangster Meyer Lansky developed close ties with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) while also running a sexual blackmail operation for decades, which later became a covert part of the anti-communist crusade of the 1950s led by Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI), himself known throughout Washington for having a habit of drunkenly groping underage teenaged girls.

Yet, it would be one of McCarthy’s closest aides who would take over the ring in later years, trafficking minors and expanding this sexual blackmail operation at the same time he expanded his own political influence, putting him in close contact with prominent figures including former President Ronald Reagan and a man who would later become president, Donald Trump.

As will be revealed in Part II, after this figure’s death, the blackmail operation continued under various successors in different cities and there is strong evidence that Jeffrey Epstein became one of them.



Samuel Bronfman and the Mob
The Prohibition Era in the United States is often used as an example of how banning recreational substances not only increases their popularity but also causes a boom in criminal activity. Indeed, it was Prohibition that greatly increased the strength of the American Mafia, as the top crime lords of the day grew rich through the clandestine trade and sale of alcohol in addition to gambling and other activities.

It is through the bootlegging trade of the 1920s and the early 1930s that this story begins, as it brought together key figures whose successors and affiliates would eventually create a series of blackmail and sex trafficking rings that would give rise to the likes of Jeffrey Epstein, the “Lolita Express” and “Orgy Island.”

Samuel Bronfman never planned to become a major producer of liquor but true to his family’s last name, which means “brandy man” in Yiddish, he eventually began distributing alcohol as an extension of his family’s hotel business. During Canada’s Prohibition period, which was briefer than and preceded that of its southern neighbor, the Bronfman family business used loopholes to skirt the law and find technically legal ways to sell alcohol in the hotels and stores the family owned. The family relied on its connections with members of the American Mafia to illegally smuggle alcohol from the United States.

Soon after Prohibition ended in Canada, it began in the United States and, by the time the flow of illegal alcohol had turned the other way, the Bronfmans – whose business ventures were then being led by Sam Bronfman and his brothers — were relatively late to an already flourishing bootlegging trade.

“We were late starters in the two most lucrative markets – on the high seas and across the Detroit River. What came out of the border trade in Saskatchewan was insignificant by comparison,” Bronfman once told Canadian journalist Terence Robertson, who was then writing a biography of Bronfman. Nonetheless, “this was when we started to make our real money,” Bronfman recounted. Robertson’s biography on Bronfman was never published, as he died under mysterious circumstances soon after warning his colleagues that he had uncovered unsavory information about the Bronfman family.

Key to Bronfman’s success during American Prohibition were the ties his family had cultivated with organized crime during Canada’s Prohibition, ties that led many prominent members of the mob in the United States to favor Bronfman as a business partner. Bronfman liquor was purchased in massive quantities by many crime lords who still live on in American legend, including Charles “Lucky” Luciano, Moe Dalitz, Abner “Longy” Zwillman and Meyer Lansky.

Most of Bronfman’s mob associates during Prohibition were members of what became known as the National Crime Syndicate, which a 1950s Senate investigative body known as the Kefauver Committee described as a confederation dominated by Italian-American and Jewish-American mobs. During that investigation, some of the biggest names in the American Mafia named Bronfman as a central figure in their bootlegging operations. The widow of notorious American mob boss Meyer Lansky even recounted how Bronfman had thrown lavish dinner parties for her husband.

Years later, Samuel Bronfman’s children and grandchildren, their family’s ties to the criminal underworld intact, would go on to associate closely with Leslie Wexner, allegedly the source of much of Epstein’s mysterious wealth, and other mob-linked “philanthropists,” and some would even manage their own sexual blackmail operations, including the recently busted blackmail-based “sex cult” NXIVM. The later generations of the Bronfman family, particularly Samuel Bronfman’s sons Edgar and Charles, will be discussed in greater detail in Part II of this report.



Lewis Rosenstiel’s dark secret
Crucial to Bronfman’s Prohibition-era bootlegging operations were two middlemen, one of whom was Lewis “Lew” Rosenstiel. Rosenstiel got his start working at his uncle’s distillery in Kentucky before Prohibition. Once the law banning alcohol was in force, Rosenstiel created the Schenley Products Company, which would later become one of the largest liquor companies in North America.

Though he was a high school drop-out and not particularly well-connected socially at the time, Rosenstiel happened to have a “chance” meeting with Winston Churchill in 1922 while on vacation in the French Riviera. According to the New York Times, Churchill “advised him [Rosenstiel] to prepare for the return of liquor sales in the United States.” Rosenstiel somehow managed to secure the funding of the elite and respected Wall Street firm Lehman Brothers to finance his purchase of shuttered distilleries.

Officially, Rosenstiel is said to have built his company and wealth after Prohibition, by following Churchill’s advice to prepare for Repeal. However, he was clearly involved in bootlegging operations and was even indicted for bootlegging in 1929, though he evaded conviction. Like Bronfman, Rosenstiel was close to organized crime, particularly members of the mostly Jewish-American and Italian-American mob alliance known as the National Crime Syndicate.

Subsequent New York state legislative investigations would allege that Rosenstiel “was part of a ‘consortium’ with underworld figures that bought liquor in Canada [from Samuel Bronfman]”, whose other members were “Meyer Lansky, the reputed organized crime leader; Joseph Fusco, an associate of late Chicago gangster Al Capone and Joseph Linsey, a Boston man Mr. Kelly [the congressional investigator testifying] identified as a convicted bootlegger.” Rosenstiel’s relationship with these men, particularly Lansky, would continue long after Prohibition and Samuel Bronfman, for his part, would also maintain his mob ties.

In addition to his friends in the mob, Rosenstiel also cultivated close ties with the FBI, developing a close relationship with longtime FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and making Hoover’s right-hand man and longtime assistant at the FBI, Louis Nichols, the Vice President of his Schenley empire in 1957.

Despite their similar backgrounds as bootlegger barons turned “respectable” businessmen, Bronfman’s and Rosenstiel’s personalities were drastically different and their relationship was complicated, at best. One example of the dissimilarities between North America’s top liquor barons was how they treated their staff. Bronfman was not necessarily known for being a cruel boss, whereas Rosenstiel was known for his erratic and “monstrous” behavior towards employees as well as his unusual practice of bugging his offices in order to hear what employees said about him when he wasn’t present.

Such differences between Bronfman and Rosenstiel were also reflected in their personal lives. While Bronfman married only once and was loyal to his wife, Rosenstiel was married five times and was known for his relatively closeted bisexual antics, a part of his life that was well-known to many of his close associates and employees.

Though for years there were only hints to this other side of the controversial businessman, details emerged years later during a divorce proceeding brought by Rosenstiel’s fourth wife, Susan Kaufman, that would back the claims. Kaufman alleged that Rosenstiel hosted extravagant parties that included “boy prostitutes” that her husband had hired “for the enjoyment” of certain guests, which included important government officials and prominent figures in America’s criminal underworld. Kaufman would later make the same claims under oath during the hearing of the New York’s State Joint Legislative Committee on Crime in the early 1970s.

Not only did Rosenstiel organize these parties, but he also made sure that their venues were bugged with microphones that recorded the antics of his high-profile guests. Those audio recordings, Kaufman alleged, were then kept for the purpose of blackmail. Though Kaufman’s claims are shocking, her testimony was deemed credible and held in high regard by the former chief counsel of the Crime Committee, New York Judge Edward McLaughlin, and committee investigator William Gallinaro and aspects of her testimony were later corroborated by two separate witnesses who were unknown to Kaufman.

These “blackmail parties” offer a window into an operation that would later become more sophisticated and grow dramatically in the 1950s under Rosenstiel’s “field commander” (a nickname given by Rosenstiel to an individual to be named shortly in this report). Many of the people connected to Rosenstiel’s “field commander” during the 70s and 80s have again found their names in the press following the recent arrest of Jeffrey Epstein.



The “Untouchable” Mobster
Bronfman and Rosenstiel became legendary in the North American liquor business, in part due to their fight for supremacy in the industry, which the New York Times described as often erupting “into bitter personal and corporate battles.” Despite their dueling in the corporate world, the one thing that united the two businessmen more than anything else was their close connection to American organized crime, particularly renowned mobster Meyer Lansky.

Lansky is one of the most notorious gangsters in the history of American organized crime and is notable for being the only famous mobster rising to notoriety in the 1920s who managed to die an old man and never serve a day in jail.

Lansky’s long life and ability to avoid prison time was largely the result of his close relationships to powerful businessmen like Bronfman and Rosenstiel (among many others), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. intelligence community, as well as his role in establishing several blackmail and extortion rings that helped him keep the law at arm’s length. Indeed, when Lansky was finally charged with a crime in the 1970s, it was the Internal Revenue Service that brought the charges, not the FBI, and he was charged with and acquitted of tax evasion.

Lansky was remarkably close to both Bronfman and Rosenstiel. Bronfman regularly threw “lavish dinner parties” in Lansky’s honor both during and after Prohibition. These parties were remembered fondly by Lansky’s wife, and Lansky in turn did favors for Bronfman, ranging from exclusive protection of his shipments during Prohibition to getting him tickets to coveted “fight of the century” boxing matches.

Rosenstiel also threw regular dinner parties honoring Lansky. Susan Kaufman, Rosenstiel’s ex-wife, claimed to have taken numerous pictures of her ex-husband and Lansky socializing and partying together, photos that were also seen by Mary Nichols of The Philadelphia Inquirer. In addition, Lansky, per Kaufman’s recollection, was one of the individuals that Rosenstiel sought to protect from legal scrutiny as part of his child prostitution and blackmail ring targeting high-ranking officials, and he was overheard saying that if the government “ever brings pressure against Lansky or any of us, we’ll use this [a specific recording taken at one of the ‘parties’] as blackmail.”

Lansky was known to address Rosenstiel as “Supreme Commander,” a title that would later be used to refer to Rosenstiel by another individual deeply connected to the mob and sexual blackmail operations, previously referred to in this report as Rosenstiel’s “Field Commander.”

Lansky also had close ties to the CIA and U.S. military intelligence. During World War II, Lansky — along with his associate Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel — worked with Naval intelligence in what was codenamed “Operation Underworld,” an operation the existence of which the government denied for over 40 years.

Journalist and noted chronicler of CIA covert activities, Douglas Valentine, noted in his book The CIA as Organized Crime: How Illegal Operations Corrupt America and the World that the government’s cooperation with the Mafia during World War II led to its expansion after the war and set the stage for its future collaboration with U.S. intelligence.

According to Valentine:

Top government officials were also aware that the government’s Faustian pact with the Mafia during World War II had allowed the hoods to insinuate themselves into mainstream America. In return for services rendered during the war, Mafia bosses were protected from prosecution for dozens of unsolved murders. […]

The Mafia was a huge problem in 1951 [when the Kefauver Committee was convened], equivalent to terrorism today. But it was also a protected branch of the CIA, which was co-opting criminal organizations around the world and using them in its secret war against the Soviets and Red Chinese. The Mafia had collaborated with Uncle Sam and had emerged from World War II energized and empowered. They controlled cities across the country.”

Indeed, not long after its creation, the CIA forged ties with Lansky at the behest of CIA counterintelligence chief James J. Angleton. The CIA would later turn to the Lansky-linked mob in the early 1960s as part of its consistently fruitless quest to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro, showing that the CIA maintained its contacts with Lansky-controlled elements of the Mafia long after the initial meeting with Lansky took place.

The CIA also had close connections to associates of Lansky, such as Edward Moss, who did public relations work for Lansky and was said to be of “interest” to the CIA by the agency’s then-inspector general J.S. Earman. Harry “Happy” Meltzer was also another Lansky associate that was a CIA asset and the CIA asked Meltzer to join an assassination team in December 1960.

In addition to the CIA, Lansky was also connected to a foreign intelligence agency through Tibor Rosenbaum, an arms procurer and high-ranking official in Israel’s Mossad, whose bank – the International Credit Bank of Geneva – laundered much of Lansky’s ill-gotten gains and recycled them into legitimate American businesses.

Journalist Ed Reid, author of the Virginia Hill biography The Mistress and the Mafia, wrote that Lansky was attempting to entrap powerful people through sexual blackmail as far back as 1939. Reid contends that Lansky sent Ms. Hill to Mexico, where his West Coast connections had established a drug ring that later involved the OSS, the forerunner to the CIA, to seduce numerous “top politicians, army officers, diplomats and police officials.”

Eventually, Lansky was credited with obtaining compromising photos of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover sometime in the 1940s, which showed “Hoover in some kind of gay situation”, according to a former Lansky associate, who also said that Lansky had often claimed, “I fixed that sonofabitch.” The photos showed Hoover engaged in sexual activity with his long-time friend, FBI Deputy Director Clyde Tolson.

At some point, these photos fell into the hands of CIA counterintelligence chief James J. Angleton, who later showed the photos to several other CIA officials, including John Weitz and Gordon Novel. Angleton was in charge of the CIA’s relationship with the FBI and Israel’s Mossad until he left the agency in 1972 and, as was recently mentioned, he was also in contact with Lansky.

Anthony Summers, former BBC journalist and author of Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover, has argued that it was not Lansky, but William Donovan, the director of the OSS, who obtained the original photos of Hoover and later shared them with Lansky.

Summers also stated that “To [gangster Frank] Costello and Lansky, the ability to corrupt politicians, policemen and judges was fundamental to Mafia operations. The way they found to deal with Hoover, according to several mob sources, involved his homosexuality.” This anecdote shows that Lanksy and the CIA maintained a covert relationship, which included, among other things, the sharing of blackmail material (i.e., “intelligence”).

It is also possible that Hoover was ensnared by the mob during one of Rosenstiel’s “blackmail parties,” at which Hoover sometimes found himself in attendance with prominent figures of the Mafia. Hoover was said to have worn women’s clothing at the some of the events and Meyer Lansky’s wife later said that her husband had photos of the former FBI director in drag. Furthermore, Hoover is on record showing an unusual concern in the FBI’s handling of Rosenstiel’s criminal links as early as 1939, the same year that his close associate Lansky was actively orchestrating the sexual blackmail of powerful political figures.

The blackmail acquired on Hoover and the mob’s possession of the evidence has been cited as a major factor in Hoover’s decades-long denial that nationwide networks of organized crime were a serious issue. Hoover asserted that it was a decentralized, local issue and therefore outside of the bureau’s jurisdiction. By the time Hoover finally acknowledged the existence of national organized crime networks in 1963, they were so entrenched in the U.S. establishment that they were untouchable.

Congressional crime consultant Ralph Salerno told Summers in 1993 that Hoover’s willful ignorance of organized crime for most of his career as FBI director “allowed organized crime to grow very strong in economic and political terms, so that it became a much bigger threat to the wellbeing of this country than it would have been if it had been addressed much sooner.”



J. Edgar Hoover: Blackmail Victim?
Most records place the beginning of Hoover’s relationship with Rosenstiel in the 1950s, the same decade when Susan Kaufman reported that Hoover was attending Rosenstiel’s blackmail parties. Rosenstiel’s FBI file, obtained by Anthony Summers, cites the first Rosenstiel meeting as taking place in 1956, though Summers notes that there is evidence that they had met much earlier. After requesting the meeting, Rosenstiel was granted a personal face-to-face with the director in a matter of hours. The FBI file on Rosenstiel also reveals that the liquor baron heavily lobbied Hoover to aid his business interests.

During that time, the salacious details of Hoover’s sex life were already known to the U.S. intelligence community and to the mob, and Hoover was aware that they knew of his closeted sexuality and penchant for women’s clothing. Yet, Hoover apparently seemed to embrace the very type of sexual blackmail operation that had compromised his private life, given that he was seen at many of Rosenstiel’s “blackmail parties” in the 1950s and 1960s, including at venues such as Rosenstiel’s personal home and later at Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel. Hoover’s penchant for dressing in drag was also described by two witnesses who were not connected to Susan Kaufman.

Soon after their first “official” meeting, the public relationship between the two men quickly flourished, with Hoover even sending Rosenstiel flowers when he fell ill. Summers reported that, in 1957, Rosenstiel was heard telling Hoover during a meeting, “your wish is my command.” Their relationship remained close and intimate throughout the 1960s and beyond.

Like Rosenstiel, Hoover was well-known for amassing blackmail on friend and foe alike. Hoover’s office contained “secret files” on numerous powerful people in Washington and beyond, files he used to gain favors and protect his status as FBI director for as long as he wished.

Hoover’s own propensity for blackmail suggests that he may have associated with Rosenstiel’s sexual blackmail operation more directly, given he already knew he was compromised and his involvement in the operation would have served as a means of procuring the blackmail he coveted for his own purposes. Indeed, if Hoover was merely being blackmailed and extorted by the Lansky-Rosenstiel connected mob, it is unlikely that he would have been so friendly to Rosenstiel, Lansky and the other mobsters at these gatherings and participated in them with such regularity.

According to journalist and author Burton Hersh, Hoover was also tied to Sherman Kaminsky, who ran a sexual blackmail operation in New York involving young male prostitutes. That operation was busted and investigated in a 1966 extortion probe led by Manhattan District Attorney Frank Hogan, though the FBI quickly took over the investigation and photos of Hoover and Kaminsky together soon disappeared from the case file.

Hoover and Rosenstiel’s deep ties would continue to develop over the years, an example of which can be seen in Rosenstiel’s hiring of long-time Hoover aide Louis Nichols as the vice president of his Schenley liquor empire and Rosenstiel’s donation of over $1 million to the J. Edgar Hoover Foundation, which Nichols also ran at the time.

There is also more than one documented occasion wherein Hoover attempted to use blackmail to protect Rosenstiel and his “field commander,” none other than the infamous Roy Cohn, the other key figure in Rosenstiel’s sexual blackmail operation involving minors.



The Making of a Monster
Decades after his death, Roy Cohn remains a controversial figure in large part because of his close, personal relationship with current U.S. President Donald Trump. Yet reports on Cohn, both in recent and in past years, often miss the mark in their characterization of the man who became closely associated with the Reagan White House, the CIA, the FBI, organized crime and, incidentally, many of the figures who would later surround Jeffrey Epstein.

To understand the true nature of the man, it is essential to examine his rise to power in the early 1950s when, at just 23 years of age, he became a key figure in the high-profile trial of Soviet spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and later as the right-hand man of Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI).

Cohn’s dedication to anti-communist activities in the 1950s is allegedly what first endeared him to J. Edgar Hoover, whom he first met in 1952. During that meeting, as described by Hersh in Bobby and J. Edgar: The Historic Face-Off Between the Kennedys and J. Edgar Hoover That Transformed America, Hoover expressed admiration for Cohn’s aggressive and manipulative tactics and told Cohn to “call me directly” whenever he had information worth sharing. From that point on, Cohn and Hoover “traded favors, effusive compliments, gifts and elaborate private dinners. It quickly became ‘Roy’ and ‘Edgar.’” Hersh also describes Hoover as Cohn’s soon to be “consigliere.”

The date and circumstances around Cohn’s introduction to Rosenstiel are harder to come by. It is possible that the connection was made through Roy Cohn’s father, Albert Cohn, a prominent judge and an influential figure in the New York City Democratic Party apparatus then run by Edward Flynn. It was later revealed that the Democratic organization dominated by Flynn and based in the Bronx had long-standing connections to organized crime, including associates of Meyer Lansky.

Regardless of how or when it began, the relationship between Cohn and Rosenstiel was close and was often likened to that of a father and son. They were said to frequently salute each other in public and remained close until Rosenstiel was near death, at which point Cohn attempted to trick his then-barely conscious and senile “friend” and client into naming him the executor and trustee of the liquor magnate’s estate, valued at $75 million (more than $334 million in today’s dollars).

LIFE magazine reported in 1969 that Cohn and Rosenstiel had for years referred to one another as “Field Commander” and “Supreme Commander,” respectively. Media references to these nicknames appear in other articles from the period.

Though LIFE and other outlets had interpreted this as merely an anecdote about the nicknames shared in jest between close friends, the fact that notorious crime lord Meyer Lansky also called Rosenstiel “Supreme Commander” and the fact that Cohn and Rosenstiel would later become intimately involved in the same pedophile sex ring suggests that there may have been more to these “nicknames.” After all, the mob to which Rosenstiel was connected often used military-themed titles like “soldier” and “lieutenant” to differentiate the rank and importance of its members.

Once he had made his connection with Hoover, Cohn’s star began to rise even higher in Washington. Hoover’s recommendation of Cohn would become the deciding factor in his appointment as Sen. McCarthy’s general counsel over Robert Kennedy, a rival and bitter enemy of Cohn’s.

Though Cohn was ruthless and seemingly untouchable as McCarthy’s counsel and helped the senator destroy many careers during both the red and lavender scares, his antics in relation to his work on the committee would eventually lead to his downfall after he attempted to blackmail the Army in return for preferential treatment for committee consultant and Cohn’s rumored lover, David Schine.

After he was forced to leave McCarthy’s side due to the scandal, Cohn returned to New York to live with his mother and practice law. A few years later New York Judge David Peck, a long-time associate of former CIA Director Alan Dulles, orchestrated Cohn’s hire to the New York law firm Saxe, Bacon and O’Shea — which would later become Saxe, Bacon and Bolan after Tom Bolan, a friend of Cohn’s, became a partner in the firm. Upon his hire, Cohn brought the firm a slew of Mafia-linked clients, including high-ranking members of the Gambino crime family, the Genovese crime family and, of course, Lewis Rosenstiel.



What happened in Suite 233?
The connections Roy Cohn built during the 1950s made him a well-known public figure and translated into great political influence that peaked during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. Yet, as Cohn built his public image, he was also developing a dark private life, which would come to be dominated by the same blackmail pedophile racket that appears to have first begun with Lewis Rosenstiel.

One of the “blackmail parties” Susan Kaufman attended with her then-husband Lewis Rosenstiel was hosted by Cohn in 1958 at Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel, suite 233. Kaufman described Cohn’s suite as a “beautiful suite…all done in light blue.” She described being introduced to Hoover, who was in drag, by Cohn, who told her that Hoover’s name was “Mary” in a fit of barely concealed laughter. Kaufman testified that young boys were present and Kaufman claimed that Cohn, Hoover and her ex-husband engaged in sexual activity with these minors.

New York attorney John Klotz, tasked with investigating Cohn for a case well after Kaufman’s testimony, also found evidence of the “blue suite” at the Plaza Hotel and its role in a sex extortion ring after combing through local government documents and information gathered by private detectives. Klotz later told journalist and author Burton Hersh what he had learned:

Roy Cohn was providing protection. There were a bunch of pedophiles involved. That’s where Cohn got his power from — blackmail.”

Perhaps the most damning confirmation of Cohn’s activities in Suite 233 comes from statements made by Cohn himself to former NYPD detective and ex-head of the department’s Human-Trafficking and Vice-Related Crimes Division, James Rothstein. Rothstein later told John DeCamp — a former Nebraska state senator who investigated a government-connected child sex ring based in Omaha — among other investigators, that Cohn had admitted to being part of a sexual blackmail operation targeting politicians with child prostitutes during a sit-down interview with the former detective.

Rothstein told DeCamp the following about Cohn:

Cohn’s job was to run the little boys. Say you had an admiral, a general, a congressman, who did not want to go along with the program. Cohn’s job was to set them up, then they would go along. Cohn told me that himself.”

Rothstein later told Paul David Collins, a former journalist turned researcher, that Cohn had also identified this sexual blackmail operation as being part of the anti-communist crusade of the time.

The fact that Cohn, per Rothstein’s recollection, stated that the child sex blackmail ring was part of the government-sponsored anti-communist crusade suggests that elements of the government, including Hoover’s FBI, may have been connected at a much broader level than Hoover’s own personal involvement, as the FBI closely coordinated with McCarthy and Cohn for much of the red scare.

It is also worth noting that among Hoover’s many “secret” blackmail files was a sizeable dossier on Senator McCarthy, the contents of which strongly suggested that the senator himself was interested in underage girls. According to journalist and author David Talbot, Hoover’s file on McCarthy was “filled with disturbing stories about McCarthy’s habit of drunkenly groping young girls’ breasts and buttocks. The stories were so widespread that they became ‘common knowledge’ in the capital, according to one FBI chronicler.”

Talbot, in his book The Devil’s Chessboard, also cites Walter Trohan, Washington Bureau Chief of the Chicago Tribune, as having personally witnessed McCarthy’s habit of molesting young women. “He just couldn’t keep his hands off young girls,” Trohan would later say. “Why the Communist opposition didn’t plant a minor on him and raise the cry of statutory rape, I don’t know.” Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that those “planting” minors on their political foes were McCarthy’s allies and close associates, not his enemies.

The question that necessarily arises from revelations regarding Cohn’s activities in Suite 233 is who else was Cohn “protecting” and servicing with underage prostitutes? One of them could very well have been one of Cohn’s close friends and clients, Cardinal Francis Spellman of the Archdiocese of New York, who was said to have been present at some of these parties Cohn hosted at the Plaza Hotel.

Spellman — one of the most powerful figures in the Catholic Church in North America, who was sometimes referred to as “America’s Pope” — was accused of not only condoning pedophilia in the Catholic church and ordaining known pedophiles including Cardinal Theodore “Uncle Teddy” McCarrick, but also engaging in it himself to such an extent that many New York area priests widely referred to him as “Mary.” Furthermore, J. Edgar Hoover was said to have a file detailing the cardinal’s sex life, suggesting Spellman’s involvement in the ring and pedophile protection racket in which Cohn and Hoover were personally involved.

People close to Cohn often remarked that he was frequently surrounded by groups of young boys, but seemed to think nothing of it. Similar off-handed comments about Epstein’s penchant for minors were made by those close to him prior to his arrest.

Controversial Republican political operative and “dirty trickster” Roger Stone — who, like Donald Trump, was also a protégé of Cohn — said the following about Cohn’s sex life during an interview with The New Yorker in 2008:

Roy was not gay. He was a man who liked having sex with men. Gays were weak, effeminate. He always seemed to have these young blond boys around. It just wasn’t discussed. He was interested in power and access.” (emphasis added)

Compare this quote from Stone to what Donald Trump, who was also close to Cohn, would later say about Jeffrey Epstein, with whom he was also closely associated:

I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.” (emphasis added)

Though it is unknown how long the sex ring at the Plaza Hotel continued, and whether it continued after Cohn’s death from AIDS in 1986, it is worth noting that Donald Trump purchased the Plaza Hotel in 1988. It would later be reported and confirmed by then-attendees that Trump “used to host parties in suites at the Plaza Hotel when he owned it, where young women and girls were introduced to older, richer men” and “illegal drugs and young women were passed around and used.”

Andy Lucchesi, a male model who had helped organize some of these Plaza Hotel parties for Trump, said the following when asked about the age of the women present: “A lot of girls, 14, look 24. That’s as juicy as I can get. I never asked how old they were; I just partook. I did partake in activities that would be controversial, too.”



The Roy Cohn Machine
Roy Cohn was only at the beginning of his career when he waded his way into the underground sexual blackmail ring apparently led by Lewis Rosenstiel. Indeed, when Cohn first met Hoover, he was only 23 years old. Over the next three decades or so, before his death from AIDS-related complications in 1986 at the age of 56, Cohn built a well-oiled machine, largely through his close friendships with some of the country’s most influential figures.

Among Cohn’s friends were top media personalities like Barbara Walters, former CIA directors, Ronald Reagan and wife Nancy, media moguls Rupert Murdoch and Mort Zuckerman, numerous celebrities, prominent lawyers like Alan Dershowitz, top figures in the Catholic Church and leading Jewish organizations like B’nai B’rith and the World Jewish Congress. Many of the same names that surrounded Cohn until death in the late 1980s would later come to surround Jeffrey Epstein, with their names later appearing in Epstein’s now-infamous “little black book”.

While President Trump is clearly connected to both Epstein and Cohn, Cohn’s network also extends to former President Bill Clinton, whose friend and longtime political advisor, Richard “Dirty Dick” Morris, was Cohn’s cousin and close associate. Morris was also close to Clinton’s former communications director, George Stephanopoulos, who is also associated with Jeffrey Epstein.

Yet, these were only Cohn’s connections to respectable members of the establishment. He was also known for his deep connections to the mob and gained prominence largely for his ability to connect key figures in the criminal underworld to respected influential figures acceptable to the public sphere. Ultimately, as New York attorney John Klotz stated, Cohn’s most powerful tool was blackmail, which he used against friend and foe, gangster or public official alike. How much of that blackmail he acquired through his sexual blackmail operation will likely never be known.

As Part II of this exclusive investigation will reveal, Cohn and Epstein, and the sexual blackmail operations they ran share many things in common, including not only many of the same famous friends and patrons, but also connections to intelligence agencies and consortiums of mob-linked businessmen, the modern-day equivalents of Samuel Bronfman and Lewis Rosenstiel who have since rebranded as “philanthropists.”

Part II will also reveal that Cohn’s operation was known to have successors, as revealed by a series of scandals in the early 1990s that have since been swept under the rug. The significant amount of overlap between Epstein’s and Cohn’s covert activities in sexual blackmail and their ties to many of the same powerful individuals and circles of influence strongly suggest that Epstein was one of Cohn’s successors.

As will be shown in the final installment of this report, Epstein is only the latest incarnation of a much older, more extensive and sophisticated operation that offers a frightening window into how deeply tied the U.S. government is to the modern-day equivalents of organized crime, making it a racket truly too big to fail.

Government by Blackmail: Jeffrey Epstein, Trump’s Mentor and the Dark Secrets of the Reagan Era

By Whitney Webb Whitney Webb

Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire who now sits in jail on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors, has continued to draw media scrutiny in the weeks after his arrest on July 6. Part of the reason for this continued media interest is related to Epstein’s alleged relationship to the intelligence services and new information about the true extent of the sexual blackmail operation Epstein is believed to have run for decades.

As MintPress reported last week, Epstein was able to run this sordid operation for so long precisely because his was only the latest incarnation of a much older, more extensive operation that began in the 1950s and perhaps even earlier.

Starting first with mob-linked liquor baron Lewis Rosenstiel and later with Roy Cohn, Rosenstiel’s protege and future mentor to Donald Trump, Epstein’s is just one of the many sexual blackmail operations involving children that are all tied to the same network, which includes elements of organized crime, powerful Washington politicians, lobbyists and “fixers,” and clear links to intelligence as well as the FBI.

This report, Part II of this series titled “The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal: Too Big To Fail,” will delve into Cohn’s close ties to the Reagan administration, which was also closely tied to the same organized crime network led by the infamous mob figure Meyer Lansky, which was discussed in Part I. Of particular importance is the “Iran Contra” network, a group of Reagan officials and associates who played key roles in the Iran Contra scandal. Though it has remained relatively unknown for years, many key figures in that same network, and several fronts for the CIA that were involved in funneling money to the Central American Contra paramilitaries, were also trafficking minors for their sexual exploitation and use in sexual blackmail rings.

Several of these rings made headlines at one point or another over the years — from the “call boy ring” run by Washington lobbyist Craig Spence, to the Franklin child-sex and murder ring run by Republican operative Larry King, to the scandal that enveloped the Catholic charity Covenant House in the late 1980s.

Yet, as this report will show, all of these rings — and more — were connected to the same network that involved key figures linked to the Reagan White House and linked to Roy Cohn — revealing the true scope of the sordid sexual blackmail operations and sex rings that involved the trafficking of children within the U.S. and even in Central America for their exploitation by dangerous and powerful pedophiles in the United States.

Appalling for both the villainous abuse of children itself and the chilling implications of government by blackmail, this tangled web of unsavory alliances casts a lurid light on the political history of the United States from the Prohibition Era right up to the present day and the Age of Trump, a fact made increasingly clear as more and more information comes to light in relation to the Jeffrey Epstein case.



“Roy could fix anyone in the city”
Since Donald Trump burst onto the political scene in 2015, the legacy of his mentor, Roy Cohn – as well as Cohn’s influence on his most famous protege — have begun to garner renewed media attention. Many of the profiles on Cohn following Trump’s rise have focused solely on certain shadowy aspects of Cohn’s history, particularly his association with major figures in New York organized crime, his corrupt dealings, and his eventual disbarment. Some of these portrayals even went so far as to label Cohn as politically impotent. While Cohn was known to deal with a sizable amount of sleaze in his career, such depictions of the man fail to note that he had created an influence machine of unrivaled power that included some of the most prominent people in media and politics as well as a cadre of celebrities.

Cohn was closely associated with numerous celebrities, famous politicians and political operatives. Many of his birthday parties over the years attracted such famous figures such as artist Andy Warhol, fashion designer Calvin Klein, and comedian Joey Adams, as well as notable political figures including former Mayor of New York Abraham Beame and then-Assemblyman from Brooklyn and future Senator Chuck Schumer, among others. In 1979 Margaret Trudeau, mother of current Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, attended Cohn’s birthday party, where she famously toppled his custom birthday cake; and of course Donald Trump, who became Cohn’s protege in the mid-1970s, was a frequent fixture at social events held in Cohn’s honor.

The politicians, journalists and celebrities invited to Cohn’s exclusive parties were said to be those who “had open accounts in Cohn’s ‘favor bank,’” his nickname for his unofficial balance sheet of political favors and debts that was surely informed and influenced by his extensive involvement in sexual blackmail operations from the 1950s well into the 1980s.

Many of Cohn’s celebrity friendships were cultivated through his relationship with and frequent appearances at the famous and famously debaucherous New York nightclub Studio 54, which was described by Vanity Fair as “the giddy epicenter of 70s hedonism, a disco hothouse of beautiful people, endless cocaine, and every kind of sex.” Cohn was the long-time lawyer of the club’s owners, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager.

Among Cohn’s closest friends were Barbara Walters, to whom Cohn often referred as his “fiancee” in public, and whom he later introduced to the head of the U.S. Information Agency, Chad Wick, and other high rollers in the Reagan White House. Yet, Walters was just one of Cohn’s powerful friends in the media, a group that also included Abe Rosenthal, executive editor of the New York Times; William Safire, long-time New York Times columnist and New York Magazine contributor; and George Sokolsky of The New York Herald Tribune, NBC and ABC. Sokolsky was a particularly close friend of both Cohn and former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, whose involvement in Cohn’s sexual blackmail operation is described in Part I of this investigative series. Sokolsky ran the American Jewish League Against Communism with Cohn for several years and the organization later named its Medal of Honor after Sokolsky.

Cohn was also the attorney and friend of media mogul Rupert Murdoch and, according to New York Magazine, “Whenever Roy wanted a story stopped, item put in, or story exploited, Roy called Murdoch;” and, after Murdoch bought the New York Post, Cohn “wielded the paper as his personal shiv.” According to the late journalist Robert Parry, the friendship between Murdoch and Cohn first began thanks to their mutual support for Israel.

Cohn also leaned on his life-long friend since high school, Si Newhouse Jr., to exert media influence. Newhouse oversaw the media empire that now includes Vanity Fair, Vogue, GQ, The New Yorker, and numerous local newspapers throughout the United States, as well as major interests in cable television. New York Magazine also noted that “Cohn used his influence in the early ’80s to secure favors for himself and his Mob clients in Newhouse publications.” In addition to Newhouse, Cohn’s other high school pals, Generoso Pope Jr. and Richard Berlin, later became the owners of the National Enquirer and the Hearst Corporation, respectively. Cohn was also a close friend of another media mogul, Mort Zuckerman, who – along with Rupert Murdoch – would go on to befriend Jeffrey Epstein.

Cohn’s media confidants, like journalist William Buckley of The National Review and Firing Line, often attacked Cohn’s political enemies – particularly long-time Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau — in their columns, using Cohn as an anonymous source. Buckley, whom historian George Nash once called “the preeminent voice of American conservatism and its first great ecumenical figure,” received the George Sokolsky medal alongside Cohn’s mob-linked client and “Supreme Commander” Lewis Rosenstiel from the Cohn-run American Jewish League Against Communism in 1966. Buckley later got a heavily discounted $65,000 loan to buy a luxury boat from a bank where Cohn held influence and whose president Cohn had hand picked, according to a 1969 article in LIFE magazine.

Buckley — along with Barbara Walters, Alan Dershowitz and Donald Trump — would later serve as character witnesses for Cohn during his 1986 disbarment hearings and all but Buckley would later draw controversy for their relationships with Jeffrey Epstein.

With connections like this, it’s no wonder that Stanley Friedman — a law partner of Cohn, who was later imprisoned over a kickback and bribery scandal while serving as New York’s deputy mayor — told journalist Marie Brenner in 1980 that “Roy could fix anyone in the city.”



Politically ubiquitous and polygamous
Roy Cohn’s “favor bank” and his unique position as a liaison between the criminal underworld, the rich and famous, and top media influencers made him a force to be reckoned with. Yet, it was his political connections to leadership figures in both the Republican and Democratic parties and his close relationship to long-time FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, among other figures, that made him and his dark secret “untouchable” for much of his life. Though most of his political influence was forged in the 1950s, Cohn became even more powerful with the rise of Ronald Reagan.

Even though he nominally maintained his affiliation with the Democratic Party throughout his life, Cohn was a well-known “fixer” for Republican candidates and this is clearly seen in his outsized roles during the 1976 and 1980 presidential campaigns of Ronald Reagan. It was during the latter that Cohn would meet another of his proteges, Roger Stone, whom he infamously instructed to leave a hefty bribe tucked in a suitcase at the doorstep of the Liberal Party’s headquarters during the 1980 campaign. During this campaign, Cohn would also meet Paul Manafort — an associate of Stone and later Trump’s 2016 campaign manager — and introduce both to Donald Trump.

Cohn’s law partner, Tom Bolan, was also an influential force in the Reagan campaign and later chaired Reagan’s transition team in 1980. Reagan then named Bolan, whom he considered a friend, a director of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the government’s development finance institution, and he was also the New York finance co-chairman in the Reagan campaign in both 1980 and 1984. Bolan was also close to others in Cohn’s circle, such as William F. Buckley Jr., Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch.

Furthermore, Bolan was instrumental in securing federal judgeships for several individuals who would later become influential, including future FBI Director Louis Freeh. Cohn was also able to get friends of clients appointed as federal judges, including Donald Trump’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry. After Barry was appointed as a federal judge, Trump called Cohn to thank him for pulling strings on his sister’s behalf.

Though Cohn was not given a public position in the Reagan administration, he was not merely a “dirty trickster” who worked in the shadows during the Reagan campaigns. In fact, he worked closely with some of the more visible faces of the campaign, including the then-communications director for Reagan’s 1980 campaign and later CIA director, William Casey. According to Christine Seymour — Cohn’s long-time switchboard operator from the late 1960s up until his death in 1986, who listened in on his calls — Casey and Cohn were close friends and, during the 1980 campaign, Casey “called Roy almost daily.”

Seymour also noted that one of Cohn’s other most frequent phone pals and closest friends was Nancy Reagan and she was also one of his clients. Reagan, whose influence over her husband was well-known, was so close to Cohn that it was largely his death from AIDS that led her to “encourage her husband to seek more funding for AIDS research.”

Prior to Cohn’s death, Nancy and her husband Ronald secured his spot in an exclusive experimental AIDS treatment program, despite the Reagan administration’s well-documented “non-response” to the AIDS crisis of the era. Ronald Reagan was also a friend of Cohn’s and, according to late journalist Robert Parry, “lavished favors on Cohn, including invitations to White House events, personal thank-you notes and friendly birthday wishes” over the course of his presidency.

Given that Reagan heavily courted the evangelical right and promoted “family values” as president, the close ties between not only himself, but his inner circle, with Cohn may seem odd. However, Reagan, like Cohn, had deep ties to the same organized-crime factions that were among Cohn’s clients and affiliates of the same Mafia figures close to Cohn’s own mentor, Lewis Rosenstiel (see Part I).

Not unlike Cohn, Reagan’s own mentor, Lew Wasserman, had close ties to the mob. Wasserman, the long-time president of MCA and the well-known Hollywood mogul, is known for not only making Reagan’s film and television career, but also supporting his successful push to become president of the Screen Actors Guild, which later launched Reagan’s political career. In addition, MCA was a major financier of Reagan’s successful gubernatorial bid in 1966 and, not long after Reagan became president, his administration controversially shut down a massive Department of Justice (DOJ) probe into MCA’s ties to organized crime.

According to Shawn Swords, a documentary filmmaker who explored Reagan’s ties to MCA in Wages of Spin II: Bring Down That Wall:

Ronald Reagan was an opportunist. His whole career was guided by MCA — by Wasserman and [MCA founder] Jules Stein, who bragged that Reagan was malleable, that they could do what they wanted with him…That thing about Reagan being tough on [organized] crime — that’s a fallacy.”

Swords’ characterization of this relationship is supported by an unnamed Hollywood source cited in a declassified DOJ document, who called Reagan “a complete slave of MCA who would do their bidding on anything.”

What elements of organized crime were connected to Wasserman? As a young man, Lew Wasserman joined the Mayfield Road Gang, which was run by Moe Dalitz, a close friend of Meyer Lansky who, per the FBI, was a powerful figure in Lansky’s criminal enterprise, second only to Lansky himself among members of the Jewish mob.

Lew Wasserman would later marry Edith Beckerman, whose father was Dalitz’s lawyer. Wasserman’s closest friend and lawyer, Sidney Korshak, also had close ties to Dalitz and once partnered with Lansky in the Acapulco Towers Hotel. Notably, the magazine New West stated in 1976 that Korshak was the “logical successor to Meyer Lansky.” Korshak, as a lawyer, fit a niche similar to Roy Cohn and gained a reputation as the bridge between organized crime and respectable society.

In addition, the DOJ probe into MCA that the Reagan administration quashed was reportedly spurred after the Justice Department learned that an influential member of the Gambino crime family, Salvatore Pisello, was doing business with the massive entertainment company. At that time, the boss of the Gambino crime family, Paul Castellano, was a client of Roy Cohn.



Cohn, Murdoch and the Contras
Though Cohn’s influence in the Reagan administration and his friendship with the Reagan family and their inner circle has been acknowledged, less well-known is how Cohn aided the CIA’s covert propaganda efforts that were part of the larger scandal known as Iran-Contra.

Cohn, whose influence over the press has already been detailed, forged close ties with the director of the U.S. Information Agency, Chad Wick, even hosting a luncheon in Wick’s honor that was widely attended by influential figures in the conservative press, as well as senators and representatives. Soon after, then-CIA Director and Cohn friend William Casey was spearheading an extensive PR campaign aimed at shoring up public support for Reagan’s Latin American policies, including support of the Contra paramilitaries.

This domestic propaganda effort was technically illegal and required that the CIA outsource the job to the private sector to minimize the risk of fall-out. As Robert Parry reported in 2015, Wick took the lead in obtaining private funding for the effort and, just a few days after Wick promised to find private support, Cohn brought his close friend, the media mogul Rupert Murdoch, to the White House.

Parry later noted that, after this meeting, “documents released during the Iran-Contra scandal in 1987 and later from the Reagan Library indicate that Murdoch was soon viewed as a source for the private funding” for the propaganda campaign.

After that initial meeting, Murdoch became the top media ally of this Casey-directed propaganda effort, and also became increasingly close to the Reagan White House. Murdoch, as a consequence, benefited greatly from Reagan’s policies and his friendship with the administration, which allowed Murdoch to increase his U.S. media holdings and to create the Fox Broadcasting Corporation in 1987.

Roy Cohn was not the only one close to the Reagan administration who was simultaneously running sexual blackmail operations that abused and exploited children. In fact, there were several figures, all of whom shared direct connections to CIA Director William Casey and other close friends and confidants of Cohn.

One of these individuals was Robert Keith Gray, the former chairman and CEO of the powerful Washington-based public relations firm of Hill and Knowlton, which 60 Minutes once called “an unelected shadow government” due to its influence in the capitol. According to the Washington Post, Gray himself was “one of the most sought-after lobbyists in Washington” and a Post reporter once called him “a kind of legend in this town, …the man in the black tuxedo with snow-white hair and a smile like a diamond.”

Yet, Gray was much more than a powerful PR executive.

Gray, who had previously been a close adviser to both Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon, was a very successful Republican fundraiser who “collects money in six-figure globs,” according to a 1974 report in the Washingtonian. He first came into close contact with what would become Ronald Reagan’s inner circle during Reagan’s unsuccessful 1976 presidential campaign and later as deputy director of communications during Reagan’s campaign in 1980. The latter position would see him work directly under William Casey, who later became CIA director.

Gray would go on to co-chair Reagan’s Inauguration Committee and afterwards would return to the PR business, taking on several clients including Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and hedge fund manager Marc Rich. Both Khashoggi and Rich will be discussed more in detail in Part III of this report — particularly Rich, who was an asset of Israeli intelligence outfit Mossad, and whose later criminal pardon by Bill Clinton was largely orchestrated by members of the Mega Group like Michael Steinhardt and Israeli politicians like Ehud Barak.

The connection between Gray and Casey is particulary telling, as it was later revealed by former Nebraska state senator-turned-investigator John DeCamp that Gray was a specialist in homosexual blackmail operations for the CIA and was reported to have collaborated with Roy Cohn in those activities. Cohn and Gray were likely to have known each other well, as during Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign Casey — then Gray’s boss — was calling Roy Cohn “every day,” according to Cohn’s former switchboard operator Christine Seymour.

Gray was a known associate of CIA agent and Naval Intelligence officer Edwin Wilson, having served in the 1970s on the board of Consultants International, an organization that Wilson had founded and that the CIA used as a front company. Though Gray attempted to distance himself from Wilson after the latter was caught illegally selling weapons to Libya in 1983, a Navy review of Wilson’s intelligence career, unearthed by journalist Peter Maas, stated that Gray described Wilson as a man of “unqualified trust” and that Gray and Wilson had been in professional contact “two or three times a month” as early as 1963.

Though Wilson’s main specialty was front companies used to covertly ship and smuggle goods on behalf of U.S. intelligence, he also ran sexual blackmail operations for the CIA, particularly around the time of the Watergate scandal, according to his former partner and fellow agent at the CIA, Frank Terpil.

Terpil later told author and investigative journalist Jim Hougan:

Historically, one of Wilson’s Agency jobs was to subvert members of both houses [of Congress] by any means necessary…. Certain people could be easily coerced by living out their sexual fantasy in the flesh…. A remembrance of these occasions [was] permanently recorded via selected cameras…. The technicians in charge of filming … [were] TSD [Technical Services Division of the CIA]. The unwitting porno stars advanced in their political careers, some of [whom] may still be in office.”

According to Terpil, Wilson ran his operation out of the George Town Club, owned by lobbyist and Korean intelligence asset Tongsun Park. According to the Washington Post, Park set up the club on behalf of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency “as a primary means in an illegal effort to influence U.S. politicians and officials.” The president of the George Town Club at the time of Wilson’s alleged activities at the site was Robert Keith Gray.

DeCamp later reported that Wilson’s activities were a spin-off of the same sexual blackmail operation in which Cohn became involved during the McCarthy era with Lewis Rosenstiel and J. Edgar Hoover.



Father Ritter and his favored youths
The operation allegedly ran by Gray and Wilson was not the only sexual blackmail operation connected to Cohn’s network or to influential American politicians of the era. Another pedophile network that was connected to a close associate of former President George H.W. Bush in the early 1990s was run as an affiliate of the Catholic charity Covenant House, which was founded and run by Father Bruce Ritter.

In 1968, Ritter asked his superior — Cardinal Francis Spellman of the Archdiocese of New York — for permission to take homeless teenagers, boys and girls, into his home in Manhattan. As was noted in Part I of this series, Spellman was accused of pedophilia and ordained known pedophiles while serving as the highest-ranking Catholic priest in the United States. Spellman was also a close associate, client and friend of Roy Cohn, as well as of his law partner Tom Bolan, and Spellman was alleged to have been seen at least one of Cohn’s “blackmail parties.” In addition, Spellman’s nephew, Ned Spellman, worked for Roy Cohn, according to LIFE magazine.

Ritter, like Spellman and other priests who served under Spellman, was eventually accused of having sexual relationships with many of the underaged boys he had taken in, and of spending Covenant House funds on lavish gifts and payments to the vulnerable teenagers he exploited.

One of Ritter’s victims, Darryl Bassile, wrote an open letter to him a year after the priest’s preying on teenage boys was exposed by the press: “You were wrong for inflicting your desires on a 14-year-old . . . I know that someday you will stand before the one who judges all of us and at that time there will be no more denial, just the truth.”

Notably, when Ritter’s activities at Covenant House were exposed in 1989 by the New York Post, Charles M. Sennott, the Post reporter who wrote the story, would later state that “the secular powers more than the archdiocese or the Franciscans protected him [Ritter].” Sennott’s report was attacked viciously by columnists in other New York media outlets, powerful politicians including then-Governor of New York Mario Cuomo, as well as by Cardinal Spellman’s successor, Cardinal John O’Connor.

The likely reason these “secular powers” came to the aid of the embattled Ritter, who was never charged for having sexual relationships with minors and was merely forced to resign from his post, is that Covenant House and Ritter himself were deeply tied to Robert Macauley, Bush Sr.’s roommate at Yale and a long-time friend of the Bush family. Macauley was described by the New York Times as “instrumental” to Covenant House fundraising after he joined its board in 1985 and brought on several “other wealthy or well-connected people,” including former government officials and investment bankers.

Macauley’s organization, the AmeriCares Foundation, which was later accused of funneling money to the Contras in Central America, was one of the main sources of funding of Covenant House. One of the members of AmeriCares advisory board was William E. Simon, former U.S. secretary of the treasury under the Nixon and Ford administrations, who also ran the Nicaraguan Freedom Fund, which sent aid to the Contras.

AmeriCares was also known to work directly with U.S. intelligence. As the Hartford Courant noted in 1991: “Knowledgeable former federal officials, many with backgrounds in intelligence work, help AmeriCares maneuver in delicate international political environments.”

Furthermore, Ritter was known to have visited Macauley’s Connecticut estate and served as Vice President of AmeriCares until he was forced to resign from Covenant House. Notably, George H.W. Bush’s brother, Prescott, was also on the AmeriCares advisory board. After George H.W. Bush died last year, AmeriCares stated that he had been “instrumental in founding the health-focused relief and development organization.”

Years before Ritter was outed as a pedophile who preyed on the disadvantaged and vulnerable teenagers who sought refuge at his charity, Covenant House was praised heavily by President Ronald Reagan, even earning a mention in his 1984 State of the Union address, which called Ritter one of the country’s “unsung heroes.” From 1985 to 1989, Covenant House’s operating budget grew from $27 million to $90 million and its board came to include powerful individuals including top executives at IBM, Chase Manhattan Bank and Bear Stearns.

It was during this time that Covenant House grew into an international organization, opening branches in several countries, including Canada, Mexico and elsewhere in Central America. Its first branch in Central America was opened in Guatemala and was headed by Roberto Alejos Arzu, a CIA asset whose plantation was used to train the troops used in the CIA’s failed “Bay of Pigs” invasion of Cuba. Alejos Arzu was also an associate of the former U.S.-backed dictator of Nicaragua, Anastasio Somoza, and a member of the Knights of Malta, a Catholic order to which former CIA Director William Casey and Roy Cohn’s law partner Tom Bolan also belonged. Alejos Arzu also worked for AmeriCares and was tied to several Central American paramilitary groups.

Intelligence community sources cited by DeCamp assert that the Alejos Arzu-led branch of Covenant House procured children for a pedophile ring based in the United States. Years later, Mi Casa, another U.S.-run charity in Guatemala that George H.W. Bush had personally toured with his wife Barbara in 1994, was accused of rampant pedophilia and child abuse.



The downfall of “Washington’s Jay Gatsby”
After having left his job as an ABC News correspondent in the 1980s, Craig Spence found success as a prominent conservative Washington lobbyist. Spence would soon find his fortunes shift dramatically when, in June 1989, it was revealed that he had been pimping out children to the power elite in the nation’s capital throughout the 1980s in apartments that were bugged with video and audio recording equipment. Much like Jeffrey Epstein, who ran a similar operation, Spence was often likened to Jay Gatsby, the mysterious, wealthy figure from the well-known Fitzgerald novel The Great Gatsby.

A 1982 New York Times article written about Spence said that his “personal phone book and party guest lists constitute a ‘Who’s Who’ in Congress, Government and journalism” and stated that Spence was “hired by his clients as much for whom he knows as what he knows.” Spence was also known to throw lavish parties, which the Times described as “glitter[ed] with notables, from ambassadors to television stars, from senators to senior State Department officials.” Roy Cohn, William Casey and Roy Cohn’s journalist friend William Safire were just some of the other attendees at Spence’s festivities.

“According to Mr. Spence,” the Times article continues, “Richard Nixon is a friend. So is [former Attorney General under Nixon] John Mitchell. [CBS journalist] Eric Sevareid is termed ‘an old, dear friend.’ Senator John Glenn is ‘a good friend’ and Peter Ustinov [British actor and journalist] is ‘an old, old friend.’” Notably, Ustinov wrote for The European newspaper soon after it was founded in 1990 by Robert Maxwell, the father of Epstein’s alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell and a known Mossad agent.

It was revealed just seven years after the Times’ published its doting profile of Spence that his “glittery parties for key officials of the Reagan and Bush administrations, media stars and top military officers” had been bugged in order “to compromise guests.” According to the explosive report published by the Washington Times, Spence was linked to a “homosexual prostuition ring” whose clients included “government officials, locally based U.S. military officers, businessmen, lawyers, bankers, congressional aides, media representatives and other professionals.” Spence also offered cocaine to his guests as another means of acquiring blackmail.

According to the report, Spence’s home “was bugged and had a secret two-way mirror, and … he attempted to ensnare visitors into compromising sexual encounters that he could then use as leverage.” One man who spoke to the Washington Times said that Spence sent a limousine to his home, which took him to a party where “several young men tried to become friendly with him.” According to DeCamp, Spence was known to offer young children for sex to attendees at his blackmail parties, along with illegal drugs like cocaine.

Several other sources, including a Reagan White House official and an Air Force sergeant who had attended Spence-hosted parties, confirmed that Spence’s house was filled with recording equipment, which he regularly used to spy on and record guests, and his house also included a two-way mirror that he used for eavesdropping.

The report also documented Spence’s connections to U.S. intelligence, particularly the CIA. According to the Washington Times report, Spence “often boasted that he was working for the CIA and on one occasion said he was going to disappear for awhile ‘because he had an important CIA assignment.’” He was also quite paranoid about his alleged work for the agency, as he expressed concern “that the CIA might ‘doublecross him’ and kill him instead and then make it look like a suicide.” Not long after the Washington Times report on his activities was published, Spence was found dead in the Boston Ritz Carlton and his death was quickly ruled a suicide.

The Washington Times report also offers a clue as to what Spence may have done for the CIA, as it cited sources that had claimed that Spence had spoken of smuggling cocaine into the U.S. from El Salvador, an operation that he claimed had involved U.S. military personnel. Given the timing of these comments from Spence, Spence’s powerful connections, and the CIA’s involvement in the exchange of cocaine for weapons in the Iran Contra scandal, his comments may have been much more than just boasts intended to impress his party guests.

One of the most critical parts of the scandal surrounding Spence, however, was the fact that he had been able to enter the White House late at night during the George H.W. Bush administration with young men whom the Washington Times described as “call boys.”



Spence later stated that his contacts within the White House, which allowed him and his “call boys” access, were “top level” officials and he specifically singled out George H.W. Bush’s then-National Security Advisor Donald Gregg. Gregg had worked at the CIA since 1951 before he resigned in 1982 to become National Security Advisor to Bush, who was then vice president. Prior to resigning from his post at the CIA, Gregg had worked directly under William Casey and, in the late 1970s, alongside a young William Barr in stonewalling the congressional Pike Committee and Church Committee, which investigated the CIA beginning in 1975. Among the things that they were tasked with investigating were the CIA’s “love traps,” or sexual blackmail operations used to lure foreign diplomats to bugged apartments, complete with recording equipment and two-way mirrors.

Barr would later become Bush’s Attorney General, rising to that post yet again under Trump. Furthermore, Barr’s father worked for the precursor to the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and recruited a young Jeffrey Epstein, then a high school drop-out, to teach at the elite Dalton School, from which Epstein was later fired. A year prior to hiring Epstein, Donald Barr published a science fiction fantasy novel about sex slavery. Notably, the same year Donald Barr hired Epstein, his son was working for the CIA. Bill Barr has refused calls to recuse himself from the Epstein case, even though he worked at the same law firm that has represented Epstein in the past.

Donald Gregg is also connected to Roy Cohn’s “influence machine” through his daughter’s marriage to Christopher Buckley, the son of conservative journalist William Buckley, close confidant and friend of both Roy Cohn and Cohn’s law partner Tom Bolan.

The Washington Times reports on Spence’s child sex ring also reveal his close ties to none other than the ubiquitous Roy Cohn. One of the Times’ sources for its first story on the scandal alleged that he had attended a birthday party for Roy Cohn that Spence had hosted at his home and that CIA Director William Casey was also in attendance. Spence was also said in the report to often brag about his social companions and regularly mentioned Cohn and claimed to have hosted Cohn at his house on occasions other than the aforementioned birthday party.



“Bodies by God”
The revelation of Craig Spence’s “call boy ring” soon led to the discovery of the infamous Franklin child sex abuse and ritual murder scandal. That sordid operation was run out of Omaha, Nebraska by Larry King, a prominent local Republican activist and lobbyist who ran the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union until it was shut down by federal authorities.

Buried in a May 1989 article in the Omaha World Herald’s probe into King’s Credit Union and sex ring, is a telling revelation: “In the 61/2 months since federal authorities closed Franklin, rumors have persisted that money from the credit union somehow found its way to the Nicaraguan contra rebels.”

The possibility that King’s fraudulent credit union was covertly funding the Contras was supported by subsequent reporting by the Houston Post’s Pete Brewton, who discovered that the CIA, in conjunction with organized crime, had secretly borrowed money from various savings and loans (S&L) institutions to fund covert operations. One of those S&Ls had Neil Bush, George H.W. Bush’s son, on its board and it had done business with King’s organization.

Another link between King and the Iran Contra team is the fact that King had co-founded and subsequently donated over $25,000 to an organization affiliated with the Reagan administration, Citizens for America, which sponsored speaking trips for Lt. Col. Oliver North and Contra leaders. The director of Citizens for America at the time was David Carmen, who simultaneously ran a public relations firm with the former head of covert operations at the Casey-led CIA, his father Gerald, who had also been appointed by Reagan to head the General Services Administration and to a subsequent ambassadorship.

One of the investigative journalists who researched the Craig Spence ring later told DeCamp that Spence’s ring was connected to King:

The way we discovered Larry King and his Nebraska-based call boy ring, was by looking through the credit card chits of Spence’s ring, where we found King’s name.”

It was later revealed that King and Spence were essentially business partners as their child trafficking rings were operated under a larger group that was nicknamed “Bodies by God.”

Exactly how many groups operated under this umbrella group, “Bodies by God,” is unknown. Yet, what is known is that the rings run by both King and Spence were connected to each other and both were also connected to prominent officials in the Reagan and subsequent George H.W. Bush administrations, including officials with ties to the CIA and Roy Cohn and his network.

Indeed Spence, just months before his alleged suicide in the Boston Ritz Carlton, had hinted to Washington Times reporters Michael Hedges and Jerry Seper, who had originally broken the story, that they had merely scratched the surface of something much darker:

All this stuff you’ve uncovered [involving call boys, bribery and the White House tours], to be honest with you, is insignificant compared to other things I’ve done. But I’m not going to tell you those things, and somehow the world will carry on.”

It is also worth noting the role of the FBI in all of this, particularly in the Franklin child sex abuse scandal. Indeed, Larry King’s child sex abuse ring was quickly and aggressively covered up by the FBI, which used a variety of under-handed tactics to bury the reality of King’s sordid operation. Here, it is important to recall the key role former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover played in similar sexual blackmail operations that abused children (See Part I) and the close relationship between Hoover, Roy Cohn and Lewis Rosenstiel, who later employed Hoover’s former right-hand man at the FBI, Louis Nichols.

Years later, documents released by the FBI would show that Epstein became an FBI informant in 2008, when Robert Mueller was the Bureau’s director, in exchange for immunity from then-pending federal charges, a deal that fell through with Epstein’s recent arrest on new federal charges. In addition, former FBI Director Louis Freeh would be hired by Alan Dershowitz, who is accused of raping girls at Epstein’s homes and was once a character witness for Roy Cohn, to intimidate Epstein’s victims. As previously mentioned, Freeh’s past appointment as a judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York was orchestrated by Cohn’s law partner Tom Bolan.

Thus, the FBI’s cover-up of the Franklin case is just one example of the Bureau’s long-standing practice of protecting these pedophile rings when they involve members of the American political elite and provide the Bureau with a steady supply of blackmail. It also makes it worth questioning the impartiality of one of the main prosecutors in the Jeffrey Epstein case, Maurene Comey, who is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey.



The rot at the top
While there were several sexual trafficking operations connected to both Roy Cohn and the halls of power under the Reagan administration, in a matter of months after Cohn’s death it appears that another individual became a central figure in the powerful network that Cohn had cultivated.

That individual, Jeffrey Epstein, would be recruited, after his firing from the Dalton School, by Alan “Ace” Greenberg, a close friend of Cohn, to work at Bear Stearns. After leaving Bear Stearns and working as an alleged financial “bounty hunter” for clients that are said to have included the Iran-Contra-linked arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, Epstein would come into contact with Leslie Wexner, a billionaire close to the Meyer Lansky-linked Bronfman family, who himself was tied to members of organized crime syndicates once represented by Cohn.

The same year that Wexner would begin his decades-long association with Epstein, another Cohn friend with ties to the Reagan White House and the Trump family, Ronald Lauder, would provide Epstein with an Austrian passport containing Epstein’s picture but a false name.

Lauder, Wexner and the Bronfmans are members of an elite organization known as the Mega Group, which also includes other Meyer Lansky-connected “philanthropists” like hedge fund manager Michael Steinhardt. While Epstein shares considerable overlap with the network described in this report and Part I of this series, he is also deeply connected to the Mega Group as well as its associates, including Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell.

Part III of this series will focus on the Mega Group and its ties to the network that has been described in Parts I and II. In addition, the role of the state of Israel, the Mossad, and several global pro-Israel lobby organizations will also be discussed in relation to this network of sexual blackmail operations and Jeffrey Epstein.

It is here that the full breadth of the Epstein scandal comes into view. It is a criminal and unconscionable blackmail operation that has been run by influential figures, hidden in plain sight, for over half a century, exploiting and destroying the lives of untold numbers of children in the process. Over the years, it has grown many branches and spread well beyond the United States, as seen by the activity of Covenant House in Latin America and Epstein’s own international effort to recruit more girls to be abused and exploited.

All of this has taken place with the full knowledge and blessing of top figures in the world of “philanthropy” and in the U.S. government and intelligence communities, with great influence over several presidential administrations, particularly since the rise of Ronald Reagan and continuing through to Donald Trump.

NYC judge delays Epstein trial until at least June 2020

July 31 (UPI) -- Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein won't stand trial on multiple charges of federal sex crimes for at least a year, a New York City judge ruled Wednesday.

Epstein appeared in Manhattan court, where attorneys discussed timing details of the case, including a trial start date. Judge Richard Berman ultimately decided the case won't reach the trial stage until next June, at the earliest. He has pleaded not guilty to two charges of federal sex trafficking.

Defense attorneys asked Berman for more time to go through a million pages of evidence in the complex case, and requested the trial begin in September 2020. Prosecutors argued for June, out of public interest in the case.

Epstein attorney Martin Weinberg told Berman Wednesday the defense team won't be ready before Labor Day next year. The judge set a tentative date of June 8, 2020, but said he will allow for more time if defense attorneys aren't ready by then.

RELATED Reports: Jeffrey Epstein on suicide watch after hospitalization
Epstein is accused of luring minors to his Manhattan townhouse and beachfront Florida mansion between 2002 and 2005 for sexual exploitation. Wednesday was Epstein's first court appearance since he was hospitalized last week for neck injuries. Guards found him unconscious in his jail cell. The previous day, he'd been served a new complaint of sex abuse from a woman who said she was assaulted in 2002, when she was 15. The documents said she wants to sue Epstein and a "recruiter" for sexual assault, battery and rape.

Wednesday, Epstein appeared to have no adverse affects from the injury.

Epstein has been held in the Manhattan Correctional Center's Special Housing Unit since Berman denied bail for the 66-year-old financier, citing as reasons a danger to the community and a risk of flight from prosecution. He was arrested at a New Jersey airport July 6 after returning to the United States from Paris.

RELATED Epstein attorneys again appeal to NYC judge for bail
Despite the judge's refusal to grant bail, defense attorneys have continued to appeal for house arrest. Epstein's attorneys are also seeking to have the case dismissed on double jeopardy grounds, arguing the charges are similar to those he already served prison time for in 2008. They said they will file written arguments in September.

If convicted on all counts, Epstein faces 45 years in prison.

The One People Americans Are Encouraged to Hate

https://thesaker.is/the-one-people-americans-are-encouraged-to-hate/

How would you react if you read the following statements and found that they were spoken by government employees who are part of the American Deep State and have a great deal of power over the nation and you? Wouldn’t the prejudice appall and disgust you?

“I do always hate the Israelis,” Lisa Page, a senior FBI lawyer on the Israel probe, testified to Congress in July 2018. “It is my opinion that with respect to Western ideals and who it is and what it is we stand for as Americans, Israel poses the most dangerous threat to that way of life.” As he opened the FBI’s probe of the Trump campaign’s ties to Israel in July 2016, FBI agent Peter Strzok texted Page: “* the cheating * Israelis… b******. I hate them… I think they’re probably the worst. * conniving cheating savages.” Speaking to NBC News in May 2017, former director of national intelligence James Clapper explained why US officials saw interactions between the Trump camp and Israeli nationals as a cause for alarm: “The Israelis,” Clapper said, “almost genetically driven to co-opt, penetrate, gain favor, whatever, which is a typical Israeli technique. So we were concerned.”

Of course, readers of The Saker know that the officials quoted never actually made those remarks about the Israelis; nor did they express their hatred of Germans, Saudi Arabians, Turks, French, Libyan, Congolese, Somalians, Germans, Italians, British, Canadians, Greeks, or even Chinese. No; the actual nation and people named were the Russians. Here is the link to the original excellent piece published in The Nation. Yet it seems perhaps not with a touch of irony the speakers were engaging in projection and discussing themselves, the so-called America elites.

Unfortunately, I don’t remember how I found The Saker, originally not on this official site of his but at his Blogspot blog. Yet as an American slowly waking up to the terrible truths of the corruption and destructive actions engaged by the American government and its “Deep State” from reading LewRockwell.com (where I later became a contributor to Lew’s site via this link) and supporting Ron Paul, I was horrified to discover that American “fair play” was only an illusion. Nevertheless, I am astonished by the hatred that I quoted. In this time of extraordinary oppression against any individual who dares challenge certain dogmas, that is to say if anyone is White and a true follower of the Way of Jesus Christ especially, for example, as The Saker himself wrote recently on the whole homosexual brouhaha here, then the full force of the establishment, the powers that be, will be brought to bear—your employment, perhaps your life would be at risk. Not that Lisa Page or Peter Strozk would ever dare to criticize Israel, or look into the mirror and see themselves as they truly are, but if they did, they’d probably be taken to a CIA black site and waterboarded for their troubles.

A few years ago, I was truly haunted by a photograph posted on the Saker’s site of a beautiful young woman and her infant child; I can’t recall the link yet I believe the post was by a Saker contributor. The two were murdered by shelling from the Neo-Nazi Ukrainians. I wonder why Putin in his interview with Oliver Stone didn’t, in his usual calm yet convincing manner, discuss the terrible loss of life and the tens of thousands of refugees, the human suffering caused by the American Empire, for after all Victoria Nuland admitted that billions were poured into Ukraine in support of “regime change.” Nevertheless, what astonishes me is the complete lack of empathy, in fact the evident enjoyment in wreaking havoc and death around the world on the part of America’s political class especially.

Meanwhile, back in America, America itself is breaking apart at the seams. How can one maintain an empire when the empire itself is built on sand? As Boyd D. Cathey noted in his piece “Is It Time for America to Break Apart?”:

“There are then, palpably, two Americas. They still use the same language, but they are increasingly incapable of communicating with each other. Almost weekly words and terms are redefined beyond comprehension, and those ‘devil terms’ have become the modern equivalents of linguistic hydrogen bombs deployed by the progressivists. They illustrate what political theorist Paul Gottfried has called a ‘post-Marxist’ praxis that has actually moved beyond the assaults of cultural Marxism towards a new and imposed template.

“No dissent from this template is permitted in our society. If it demands you call black, white; then you must comply, or suffer the consequences. If your eyes tell you one thing, but the collective media and elites tell you something else, ‘who you gonna believe, them or your lying eyes’?”

I shared the Nation piece, since the news of the statements by the corrupt Page and Strozk were new to me, with The Saker and SmoothieX12, Andrei Martyanov who posted about it on his blog. I think this insight Martyanov offers is important but not the full picture.

He writes, “It is always funny to read about ‘values’ and ‘ideals’–if that ‘way of life’ continues, the end-result will be precisely [the] total elimination of everything of true value [the] combined West ever produced with the US Constitution being shredded to pieces. Ah, wait, I forgot–these are the thoughts of people who are directly involved in [a] criminal coup attempt, which by definition is anti-constitutional and violates this very same ‘way of life’ these people allegedly try to protect. One has to have, of course, [an] appreciation of their fever-pitch hatred of Russians and, what matters here, this is not private, [not] an exception that is, attitude. It is not a secret that [a] very large strata of US policy-makers is afflicted by Russophobia. A large part of this Russophobia, apart from being racial–you know, dirty Slavs and all that jazz–is very much a suppressed complex of inferiority. Throughout all 20th and 21st century not only Russia presented itself as an inconvenient impediment to America-the-savior-of-humanity narrative, but Russia remains the only nation which can remove the United States from the map and can conventionally defeat any combination of forces the United States can assemble. This simple fact makes many in US ‘elite’, which is largely ignorant on the issues of real war, very uncomfortable.”

In due time, I hope to have soon a conversation to be published with The Saker on the topic of Christianity in general and Orthodox Christianity in particular; while SmoothieX12’s secular commentary and observations are entirely correct, I truly believe something far more sinister is taking place. On display in these Russophobic statements is a malevolence, not just willful blindness, fear or arrogance. Is this an Adobe Photoshopped manipulated image or truly the real face and eyes of Peter Strozk taken during his Congressional testimony? What do believers see when they look at this?


Peter Strozk

Philip Giraldi wrote about Jeffrey Epstein and his connections to the rich and powerful “elites” and likely intelligence agencies here at Unz.com and also here on the Strategic Culture website. Aside from the intelligence angle, Vanity Fair discusses the people Epstein “collected” in this article:

“Epstein remained a fixture in elite circles even after he was a registered sex offender. A few years ago, for example, he was a guest at a dinner in Palo Alto hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman for the MIT neuroscientist Ed Boyden. At the dinner, Elon Musk introduced Epstein to Mark Zuckerberg. (‘Mark met Epstein in passing one time at a dinner honoring scientists that was not organized by Epstein,’ Zuckerberg spokesman Ben LaBol told me. ‘Mark did not communicate with Epstein again following the dinner.’)…

“One source who’s done business with Epstein told me that Epstein’s 21,000-square-foot townhouse on East 71st Street welcomed a steady stream of the Davos crowd in the past decade. The source said Bill Gates, Larry Summers, and Steve Bannon visited the house, which has been called one of the largest private residences in Manhattan. ‘Jeffrey collected people. That’s what he did,’ the source said. Gates and Summers did not respond to requests for comment.”

The site Vigilant Citizen, run by anonymous individuals who investigate the occult hallmarks of the Western “elites,” discussed Epstein on this post via this link and noted his connections to the rich and powerful along with occult symbolism on structures on his island:

The fact that a “temple” was built on an island known for extreme depravity is disturbing. However, when one fully understands the mindset of the occult elite, it makes perfect sense. It is all about symbolism and ritual.
For instance, the “temple” has a striking resemblance with Hammam Yalbugha – a Mamluk-era public bath located in Syria.

Why did Epstein model his “temple” on this specific building? Because of the symbolism attached to it. Indeed, the hammam is a classic example of architecture from the Mamluk era. In Arabic, the word “mamluk” literally means “property” and is used to designate slaves.

During the Mamluk era, children were captured by the ruling class to become slaves. Boys were usually trained to become soldiers while girls were groomed to become the personal concubines of their masters. Considering the fact that Epstein island was used to import child sex slaves for the elite, the symbolism is perfectly fitting.

In order to give the “temple” an unmistakeable occult dimension, the building was adorned with golden statues representing gods (Neptune) and owl-like birds. The building is also surrounded by maze-like patterns, similar to those found in Islamic architecture.

In my opinion, something far worse is going on than fear and self-loathing within the souls of the rich and powerful who rule the Western world, not merely decadence. Global Western “elites” are malevolent sociopaths (although I suspect several of the individuals in the Russian “Fifth column” Saker writes about are as well); while America is disintegrating around them, these elites still can cause great mischief. Reader of my words who are Americans must do all they can to resist and challenge these monsters in power; for monsters they are. Yes, they are presumed innocent until proven guilty but the fact remains the armies they control have killed and maimed millions of innocents throughout the world, including children. That I as a believer I think there is something evil behind them and within them is not provable by the scientific method perhaps; but I trust that my concerns are valid. If the reader of my words is a believer, please pray.

Transhumanism!
Mr. Epstein’s vision reflected his longstanding fascination with what has become known as transhumanism: the science of improving the human population through technologies like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. Critics have likened transhumanism to a modern-day version of eugenics, the discredited field of improving the human race through controlled breeding.
Mr. Epstein, who was charged in July with the sexual trafficking of girls as young as 14, was a serial illusionist: He lied about the identities of his clients, his wealth, his financial prowess, his personal achievements.

Jeffrey Epstein Hoped to Seed Human Race With His DNA
By James B. Stewart, Matthew Goldstein and Jessica Silver-Greenberg

Jeffrey E. Epstein, the wealthy financier who is accused of sex trafficking, had an unusual dream: He hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch.

Mr. Epstein over the years confided to scientists and others about his scheme, according to four people familiar with his thinking, although there is no evidence that it ever came to fruition.

Interviews with more than a dozen of his acquaintances, as well as public documents, show that he used the same tactics to insinuate himself into an elite scientific community, thus allowing him to pursue his interests in eugenics and other fringe fields like cryonics.

Lawyers for Mr. Epstein, who has pleaded not guilty to the sex-trafficking charges, did not respond to requests for comment.

Mr. Epstein attracted a glittering array of prominent scientists. They included the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann, who discovered the quark; the theoretical physicist and best-selling author Stephen Hawking; the paleontologist and evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould; Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and best-selling author; George M. Church, a molecular engineer who has worked to identify genes that could be altered to create superior humans; and the M.I.T. theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek, a Nobel laureate.

The lure for some of the scientists was Mr. Epstein’s money. He dangled financing for their pet projects. Some of the scientists said that the prospect of financing blinded them to the seriousness of his sexual transgressions, and even led them to give credence to some of Mr. Epstein’s half-baked scientific musings.

Scientists gathered at dinner parties at Mr. Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, where Dom Pérignon and expensive wines flowed freely, even though Mr. Epstein did not drink. He hosted buffet lunches at Harvard’s Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, which he had helped start with a $6.5 million donation.

Others flew to conferences sponsored by Mr. Epstein in the United States Virgin Islands and were feted on his private island there. Once, the scientists — including Mr. Hawking — crowded on board a submarine that Mr. Epstein had chartered.

The Harvard cognitive psychologist Steven Pinker said he was invited by colleagues — including Martin Nowak, a Harvard professor of mathematics and biology, and the theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss — to “salons and coffee klatsches” at which Mr. Epstein would hold court.

While some of Mr. Pinker’s peers hailed Mr. Epstein as brilliant, Mr. Pinker described him as an “intellectual impostor.”

“He would abruptly change the subject, A.D.D.-style, dismiss an observation with an adolescent wisecrack,” Mr. Pinker said.

Who Is Jeffrey Epstein? The Financier Embroiled in an Underage Sex Scandal

Another scientist cultivated by Mr. Epstein, Jaron Lanier, a prolific author who is a founder of virtual reality, said that Mr. Epstein’s ideas did not amount to science, in that they did not lend themselves to rigorous proof. Mr. Lanier said Mr. Epstein had once hypothesized that atoms behaved like investors in a marketplace.

Mr. Lanier said he had declined any funding from Mr. Epstein and that he had met with him only once after Mr. Epstein in 2008 pleaded guilty to charges of soliciting prostitution from a minor.

Mr. Epstein was willing to finance research that others viewed as bizarre. He told one scientist that he was bankrolling efforts to identify a mysterious particle that might trigger the feeling that someone is watching you.

At one session at Harvard, Mr. Epstein criticized efforts to reduce starvation and provide health care to the poor because doing so increased the risk of overpopulation, said Mr. Pinker, who was there. Mr. Pinker said he had rebutted the argument, citing research showing that high rates of infant mortality simply caused people to have more children. Mr. Epstein seemed annoyed, and a Harvard colleague later told Mr. Pinker that he had been “voted off the island” and was no longer welcome at Mr. Epstein’s gatherings.

Then there was Mr. Epstein’s interest in eugenics.

On multiple occasions starting in the early 2000s, Mr. Epstein told scientists and businessmen about his ambitions to use his New Mexico ranch as a base where women would be inseminated with his sperm and would give birth to his babies, according to two award-winning scientists and an adviser to large companies and wealthy individuals, all of whom Mr. Epstein told about it.

It was not a secret. The adviser, for example, said he was told about the plans not only by Mr. Epstein, at a gathering at his Manhattan townhouse, but also by at least one prominent member of the business community. One of the scientists said Mr. Epstein divulged his idea in 2001 at a dinner at the same townhouse; the other recalled Mr. Epstein discussing it with him at a 2006 conference that he hosted in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.

The idea struck all three as far-fetched and disturbing. There is no indication that it would have been against the law.

Once, at a dinner at Mr. Epstein’s mansion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Mr. Lanier said he talked to a scientist who told him that Mr. Epstein’s goal was to have 20 women at a time impregnated at his 33,000-square-foot Zorro Ranch in a tiny town outside Santa Fe. Mr. Lanier said the scientist identified herself as working at NASA, but he did not remember her name.

According to Mr. Lanier, the NASA scientist said Mr. Epstein had based his idea for a baby ranch on accounts of the Repository for Germinal Choice, which was to be stocked with the sperm of Nobel laureates who wanted to strengthen the human gene pool. (Only one Nobel Prize winner has acknowledged contributing sperm to it. The repository discontinued operations in 1999.)

Mr. Lanier, the virtual-reality creator and author, said he had the impression that Mr. Epstein was using the dinner parties — where some guests were attractive women with impressive academic credentials — to screen candidates to bear Mr. Epstein’s children.

Mr. Epstein did not hide his interest in tinkering with genes — and in perpetuating his own DNA.

One adherent of transhumanism said that he and Mr. Epstein discussed the financier’s interest in cryonics, an unproven science in which people’s bodies are frozen to be brought back to life in the future. Mr. Epstein told this person that he wanted his head and penis to be frozen.

Southern Trust Company, Mr. Epstein’s Virgin Island-incorporated business, disclosed in a local filing that it was engaged in DNA analysis. Calls to Southern Trust, which sponsored a science and math fair for school children in the Virgin Islands in 2014, were not returned.

In 2011, a charity established by Mr. Epstein gave $20,000 to the World Transhumanist Association, which now operates under the name Humanity Plus. The group’s website says that its goal is “to deeply influence a new generation of thinkers who dare to envision humanity’s next steps.”

Mr. Epstein’s foundation, which is now defunct, also gave $100,000 to pay the salary of Ben Goertzel, vice chairman of Humanity Plus, according to Mr. Goertzel’s résumé.

“I have no desire to talk about Epstein right now,” Mr. Goertzel said in an email to The New York Times. “The stuff I’m reading about him in the papers is pretty disturbing and goes way beyond what I thought his misdoings and kinks were. Yecch.”

Alan M. Dershowitz, a professor emeritus of law at Harvard, recalled that at a lunch Mr. Epstein hosted in Cambridge, Mass., he steered the conversation toward the question of how humans could be improved genetically. Mr. Dershowitz said he was appalled, given the Nazis’ use of eugenics to justify their genocidal effort to purify the Aryan race.

Yet the lunches persisted.

“Everyone speculated about whether these scientists were more interested in his views or more interested in his money,” said Mr. Dershowitz, who was one of Mr. Epstein’s defense lawyers in the 2008 case.

Luminaries at Mr. Epstein’s St. Thomas conference in 2006 included Mr. Hawking and the Caltech theoretical physicist Kip S. Thorne. One participant at that conference, which was ostensibly on the subject of gravity, recalled that Mr. Epstein wanted to talk about perfecting the human genome. Mr. Epstein said he was fascinated with how certain traits were passed on, and how that could result in superior humans.

Mr. Epstein appears to have gained entree into the scientific community through John Brockman, a literary agent whose best-selling science writers include Richard Dawkins, Daniel Goleman and Jared Diamond. Mr. Brockman did not respond to requests for comment.

For two decades, Mr. Brockman presided over a series of salons that matched his scientist-authors with potential benefactors. (The so-called “billionaires’ dinners” apparently became a model for the gatherings at Mr. Epstein’s East 71st Street townhouse, which included some of the same guests.)

In 2004, Mr. Brockman hosted a dinner at the Indian Summer restaurant in Monterey, Calif., where Mr. Epstein was introduced to scientists, including Seth Lloyd, the M.I.T. physicist. Mr. Lloyd said that he found Mr. Epstein to be “charming” and to have “interesting ideas,” although they “turned out to be quite vague.”

Also at the Indian Summer dinner, according to an account on the website of Mr. Brockman’s Edge Foundation, were the Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page and Jeff Bezos, who was accompanied by his mother.

“All the good-looking women were sitting with the physicists’ table,” Daniel Dubno, who was a CBS producer at the time and attended the dinner, was quoted as saying. Mr. Dubno told The Times that he did not recall the dinner or having said those words.

Mr. Brockman was Mr. Gell-Mann’s agent, and Mr. Gell-Mann, in the acknowledgments section of his 1995 book “The Quark and the Jaguar,” thanked Mr. Epstein for his financial support.

However impressive his roster of scientific contacts, Mr. Epstein could not resist embellishing it. He claimed on one of his websites to have had “the privilege of sponsoring many prominent scientists,” including Mr. Pinker, Mr. Thorne and the M.I.T. mathematician and geneticist Eric S. Lander.

Mr. Pinker said he had never taken any financial or other support from Mr. Epstein. “Needless to say, I find Epstein’s behavior reprehensible,” he said.

Mr. Thorne, who recently won a Nobel Prize, said he attended Mr. Epstein’s 2006 conference, believing it to be co-sponsored by a reputable research center. Other than that, “I have had no contact with, relationship with, affiliation with or funding from Epstein,” he said. “I unequivocally condemn his abhorrent actions involving minors.”

Lee McGuire, a spokesman for Mr. Lander, said he has had no relationship with Mr. Epstein. “Mr. Epstein appears to have made up lots of things,” Mr. McGuire said, “and this seems to be among them.”

Correction: Aug. 1, 2019
An earlier version of this article misstated when the prominent scientists Stephen Jay Gould, Stephen Hawking, Murray Gell-Mann, Oliver Sacks and Frank Wilczek attended gatherings hosted by Jeffrey E. Epstein. The events they attended occurred before Mr. Epstein’s 2008 conviction, not after it. The article also misstated the name of a group to which a charity established by Mr. Epstein donated $20,000 in 2011. It was the World Transhumanist Association, not the Worldwide Transhumanist Association.

Epstein and the occult!

Philip Giraldi wrote about Jeffrey Epstein and his connections to the rich and powerful “elites” and likely intelligence agencies here at Unz.com and also here on the Strategic Culture website. Aside from the intelligence angle, Vanity Fair discusses the people Epstein “collected” in this article:
https://thesaker.is/the-one-people-americans-are-encouraged-to-hate/

“Epstein remained a fixture in elite circles even after he was a registered sex offender. A few years ago, for example, he was a guest at a dinner in Palo Alto hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman for the MIT neuroscientist Ed Boyden. At the dinner, Elon Musk introduced Epstein to Mark Zuckerberg. (‘Mark met Epstein in passing one time at a dinner honoring scientists that was not organized by Epstein,’ Zuckerberg spokesman Ben LaBol told me. ‘Mark did not communicate with Epstein again following the dinner.’)…

“One source who’s done business with Epstein told me that Epstein’s 21,000-square-foot townhouse on East 71st Street welcomed a steady stream of the Davos crowd in the past decade. The source said Bill Gates, Larry Summers, and Steve Bannon visited the house, which has been called one of the largest private residences in Manhattan. ‘Jeffrey collected people. That’s what he did,’ the source said. Gates and Summers did not respond to requests for comment.”

The site Vigilant Citizen, run by anonymous individuals who investigate the occult hallmarks of the Western “elites,” discussed Epstein on this post via this link and noted his connections to the rich and powerful along with occult symbolism on structures on his island:

The fact that a “temple” was built on an island known for extreme depravity is disturbing. However, when one fully understands the mindset of the occult elite, it makes perfect sense. It is all about symbolism and ritual.
For instance, the “temple” has a striking resemblance with Hammam Yalbugha – a Mamluk-era public bath located in Syria.

Why did Epstein model his “temple” on this specific building? Because of the symbolism attached to it. Indeed, the hammam is a classic example of architecture from the Mamluk era. In Arabic, the word “mamluk” literally means “property” and is used to designate slaves.

During the Mamluk era, children were captured by the ruling class to become slaves. Boys were usually trained to become soldiers while girls were groomed to become the personal concubines of their masters. Considering the fact that Epstein island was used to import child sex slaves for the elite, the symbolism is perfectly fitting.

In order to give the “temple” an unmistakeable occult dimension, the building was adorned with golden statues representing gods (Neptune) and owl-like birds. The building is also surrounded by maze-like patterns, similar to those found in Islamic architecture.

Was Jeffrey Epstein Murdered?
Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, even though he was on suicide watch. Here’s why Epstein was most likely killed.
https://vigilantcitizen.com/latestnews/was-jeffrey-epstein-mur

Was Jeffrey Epstein Murdered?
In my last article about Jeffrey Epstein, I laid out some facts explaining how he might get murdered sooner than later. Well, ten days later, the billionaire financier whose trial could have exposed the ugliest truths of the world elite, was found dead in “apparent suicide”. According to news sources, his body was found hanging in his jail cell on August 10th at 7:30 am at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. He was transported from his cell to a hospital in Lower Manhattan where he was found in cardiac arrest.

While mass media immediately pushed the suicide thesis, it simply does not make sense.

Epstein Was in the Strictest Prison in the U.S.
Was Jeffrey Epstein Murdered?
The Metropolitan Correction Center

Epstein was detained at the Metropolitan Correction Center in Manhattan which is considered to be the “strictest prison in the United States”. Inside the walls of this prison, fluorescent lights are never switched off and inmates experience almost no human interaction. Furthermore, Epstein was kept in the most secure area of that prison. Inmates are kept in their cells for 23 hours each day and CCTV cameras watch them as they shower, go to the bathroom and sit alone in their heavily barricaded cells. Furthermore, Epstein was an extremely high-profile inmate.

In short, every single condition was met for him to be closely watched, all the time, by a team of people trained to monitor inmates and promptly respond in case of crisis.

Considering these facts, how there is no way Epstein could have single-handedly hang himself and die without triggering a major security alert. But that’s not all.

Epstein Was on Suicide Watch
Two weeks ago, Epstein was discovered semi-conscious, lying in a fetal position with marks on his neck. Despite the constant surveillance of inmates in his prison area, authorities never confirmed what actually happened. However, we do know that the event led to Epstein being placed on suicide watch.

Epstein, 66, was found semiconscious with marks on his neck in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan some time in the last two days, the sources said. Epstein is on suicide watch, two sources said.

While the two sources said that Epstein may have tried to hang himself, a third source cautioned that the injuries weren’t serious, questioning whether Epstein might have staged an attack or a suicide attempt to get a transfer to another facility.

Another source said that an assault hadn’t been ruled out and that another inmate in Epstein’s unit, identified by sources as Nicholas Tartaglione, had been questioned. Sources also said Epstein and Tartaglione were cell mates.
– NBC News, Jeffrey Epstein found injured with marks on his neck in New York jail cell, sources say

In a maximum level security prison such as the Metropolitan Correction Center (which is also known as the “Guantanamo of New York”), you better believe that suicide watch is no joke. Here’s what this process usually entails:

Suicide watch is an intensive monitoring process used to ensure that a person cannot attempt suicide. Usually the term is used in reference to inmates or patients in a prison, hospital, psychiatric hospital, or military base. People are placed on suicide watch when it is believed that they exhibit warning signs indicating that they may be at risk of committing bodily harm or fatal self injury.

People under suicide watch are put into an environment where it would be difficult for them to hurt themselves. In many cases, any dangerous items will be removed from the area, such as sharp objects and some furniture, or they may be placed in a special padded cell, which has nothing outcropping from the walls (e.g., a clothes hook or door closing bracket) to provide a place for a ligature to be attached, and with only a drain-grill on the floor. They may be stripped of anything with which they might hurt themselves or use as a noose, including shoelaces, belts, neckties, bras, shoes, socks, suspenders and bed sheets. In extreme cases the inmate may be undressed entirely.

In even more extreme cases, inmates may be placed in “therapeutic restraints”, a four- or five-point restraint system. The inmate is placed on their back on a mattress. Their arms and legs are tied down and a belt is placed across the chest. In a five-point system the head is also restrained. An inmate is allowed a range of movement every 2 hours, when one limb is released and they are allowed to move it for a short period. They are then restrained again, proceeding to the next limb. This process is repeated until all areas restrained have been moved. This process usually continues in 8-hour shifts, and the inmate has a face-to-face encounter with a mental health professional at least once in each 8-hour interval. This cannot continue for more than 16 consecutive hours. The inmate is continually watched by staff during this time.

In the most extreme cases of self-harm, only when all other avenues have not worked or are impracticable, “chemical restraint” drugs may be used to sedate the inmate. In order for a facility to administer a chemical restraint, it must have the approval/recommendation of a licensed mental health professional, the facility warden, and a court order.
– Suicide Watch, Wikipedia

To sum up the situation, Epstein was inside the most secure prison in the U.S. and he was an extremely high-profile inmate. He was in the most secure area of that prison and he was also on suicide watch. There is absolutely no way he could have died by hanging without him being stopped by prison security.

Something was clearly allowed to happen.

Allowed to Happen
Was Jeffrey Epstein Murdered?
People close to the case warned of Epstein’s probable murder weeks before it happened.

A few weeks ago, Spencer Kuvin, a lawyer who represented three women in the 2008 trial against Epstein, said this about Epstein’s first “suicide attempt”.

“I question whether or not it was a true suicide attempt that Mr Epstein was involved in in jail or whether or not there may be some powerful people who just don’t want him to talk. If he goes on trial, everyone he’s been in contact with will ultimately be fair game. There’s no doubt in my mind that no jail will protect you when there’s powerful people that want to reach you – wherever you are. If he’s going to implicate anyone in power that has the ability to reach in and somehow get to him – his life is definitely in jeopardy.

I do question whether it was a true suicide attempt. I mean how do you choke yourself? It doesn’t make any sense. There are reports someone came after him but that could just be because he’s a paedophile. Those types of individuals don’t last long in prison. If Epstein is in general population or anywhere available to the general population I believe his life is in jeopardy. They will have to seal him down in the jail. But even there there are still people who can get to him, ultimately.”

The self-described White House insider Qanon also predicted Epstein’s death shortly after his arrest.

Was Jeffrey Epstein Murdered? Was Jeffrey Epstein Murdered?

Clearly, lots of people saw this coming and it still happened. Also, lots of people working at the Metropolitan Correctional Center failed to do their jobs. And they were most likely ordered to not do their jobs.

Because Epstein had to die.

Consequences of His Death
The death of Epstein is extremely convenient for the world elite. While mass media was extremely careful to not communicate information that could harm its elite owners, a long trial presented high risks of sensitive leaks. High-powered individuals from all around the world were at risk of being involved in a sordid affair involving the trafficking and abuse of minors. On a wider scale, the sick, twisted culture and lifestyle of the world elite was being exposed.

Furthermore, a closer inquiry into some “non-profit organizations” such as the Clinton Foundation (with which Epstein was deeply involved) and Ghislaine Maxwell’s TerraMar Project could have opened a gigantic can of worms. They do not want the masses to discover the real reason why the elite is so concerned with Haiti and why so many people go down there to do “charity work”.

Now that Epstein is dead, legal analysts are already saying that the federal case won’t move forward. Lots of powerful people are now off the hook and media will gradually stop reporting on what happened on Epstein Island and the Lolita Express.

Once again, the occult elite flexed its power by killing a liability in plain sight and, chances are, nobody will be held accountable.

A woman who claimed she worked as a ‘sex slave’ for Jeffrey Epstein – a former friend of Prince Andrew – thinks the royal could help prosecutors investigating the paedophile billionaire.

Virginia Giuffre, 35, believes the Duke of York could give useful evidence in the case of Epstein.

However her lawyer, David Boies, said the royal would almost certainly refuse to speak to US prosecutors.

He said investigators would not be able to force him to testify even though his comments could add to the ‘cumulative’ evidence against Epstein, who was in court in New York this week.

US prosecutors have limited leverage when asking foreign nationals to give evidence. If a witness refuses to cooperate there is little they can do.

Mrs Giuffre, previously Virginia Roberts, has alleged she was among a number of young girls who were abused by Epstein and others when she was a teenager.

She has claimed in US court papers that she slept with Prince Andrew – however the allegations were later struck from the record as being ‘immaterial and impertinent’.

The Duke of York has categorically denied any involvement with Mrs Giuffre. Now living in Australia, she spoke out yesterday for the first time since Epstein was arrested.

In a statement issued by Mr Boies’ law firm, Mrs Giuffre said: ‘I am deeply pleased that federal prosecutors in New York have arrested Jeffrey Epstein and are on the case in a serious way.’

Epstein, 66, was picked up by police on Saturday over allegations that he trafficked dozens of underage women – some aged 14 – to his £60million mansion in New York and his home in Palm Beach, Florida.

The allegations date from 2002 to 2005 but when police raided his New York home they found sex toys and a safe full of pictures of underage girls, it is alleged.

Epstein has pleaded not guilty to the charges which would see him serve more than 40 years if convicted. Mrs Giuffre has claimed that she was 17 at the time she was recruited by Epstein, who allegedly loaned her out to his associates.

She fled Epstein’s clutches in 2003 and is now a mother of three. Speaking outside the court on Monday after Epstein’s arraignment, Mr Boies told the Mail that Mrs Giuffre was ‘feeling great’.

He said: ‘She has been subjected to years of verbal abuse by Epstein and his confederates to try to discredit her. This is real vindication, she couldn’t be happier.’

Asked if Andrew should be called as a witness, Mr Boies replied: ‘If they call him he won’t answer and they can’t go over there to the UK and get him.’

As to whether the prince would have anything useful to say, Mr Boies said: ‘Yes and no, I think it’s all cumulative.’

Epstein had faced a lengthy prison sentence amid similar allegations in Florida in 2007 but struck a deal letting him plead guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution.

He was given 13 months in jail and has to sign on as a registered sex offender for the rest of his life. Epstein, who made his fortune in finance, once hobnobbed with the global elite such as former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak and Bill Clinton.

Yesterday the former US president said he knew ‘nothing about the terrible crimes’ that Epstein admitted in Florida, or those he had recently been charged with.

Epstein’s next hearing is on Monday. According to prosecutors, he paid underage girls hundreds of dollars if they recruited other women.

His lawyers argue that his plea deal means he should not be prosecuted again.

Buckingham Palace has previously said: ‘It is emphatically denied that HRH Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. The allegations made are false.’

Jeffrey Epstein 'told jail guards and inmates someone tried to kill him'
Jeffrey Epstein, 66, died this morning after being found with "life-threatening" injuries in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, New York - the FBI is investigating
By Amber Hicks 21:46, 10 AUG 2019
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-told-jail-guards -18894171

Disgraced Jeffrey Epstein who was found 'hanged' in his jail cell this morning had recently expressed fears for his life, it has been claimed.

The 66-year-old convicted sex offender reportedly told guards and fellow inmates he believed someone was trying to kill him.

The multimillionaire, who was being held on sex trafficking charges at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, had previously been on suicide watch.

However, he was not on suicide watch at the time of his death earlier today.

And according to an insider, Epstein had appeared to be in good spirits when they visited him recently and "there was no indication that he might try to take his own life".

The source told Mail Online: "From what I saw, he was finally starting to adjust to prison. I think he was comforted by the rigidity of his new life".

But another source told The Daily Beast that wealthy Epstein had allegedly been extorted by other inmates inside his high-security prison.

The publication claimed that he had been living 'like a pig in a sty' over the past few weeks, 'eating his meals off of the floor and constantly requesting more toilet paper'.

Meanwhile, pictures have tonight emerged purporting to show Epstein's body being driven away from the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Photos show a black body bag being stretched into the back of a white New York City Medical Examiner's Office van, shielded behind a white screen.

Several police officers can be seen standing nearby.

Jeffrey Epstein 'sex slave' claims he wanted her 'to have baby for him and Brit lover'
Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at around 6.30am local time this morning.

Staff who found him initiated "life-saving measures" before requesting additional medical help, an official said.

He was then rushed to hospital with "life-threatening injuries" and later pronounced dead.

The U.S Department of Justice has described Epstein's death as an "apparent suicide" and said the FBI is investigating.

Aja Davis, a spokeswoman for the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, said she could not immediately say how Epstein died, adding that her office would need to examine the body.

NBC News and ABC News reported that Epstein had hanged himself just hours after a lawsuit filed by his alleged "sex slave" was unsealed.

It revealed allegations against his friend Prince Andrew, who denies claims that he groped a young woman's breast.

Epstein, who never married and had no children, allegedly ran a sex ring of young girls forced to perform sex acts and nude "massages" for him and his famous and wealthy friends.

The disgraced financier had pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges involving dozens of girls as young as 14 in New York and Florida from at least 2002 to 2005.

He had previously been on suicide watch after being found unconscious 'in a fetal position' on the floor of his jail cell with marks on his neck last month.

Officials were investigating that incident as a possible suicide or assault. It was not clear whether officials had taken any special precautions afterwards.

But he was not on suicide watch at the time of his death, sources told NBC News.

Epstein, who was arrested on July 6, had complained about the conditions in jail and appealed a federal judge's decision to keep him locked up on remand while he awaited trial next year.

He faced up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

Lisa Bloom, the lawyer for some of his alleged victims, said they "would have preferred he lived to face justice," but that they will continue to proceed in suing his estate.

"Victims deserve to be made whole for the lifelong damage he caused," she added.

Brad Edwards, another attorney representing some of Epstein accusers, deemed his death "both unfortunate and predictable."

“The fact that Jeffrey Epstein was able to commit the selfish act of taking his own life as his world of abuse, exploitation, and corruption unraveled is both unfortunate and predictable,” he said in a statement.

“The victims deserved to see Epstein held accountable, and he owed it to everyone he hurt to accept responsibility for all of the pain he caused.”

The FBI is opening an investigation to determine whether proper procedures to assure the safety of prisoners were followed at the jail overnight, a source told Reuters.

At the MCC, two jail guards are required to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes, but that procedure was not followed overnight, the source said.

In addition, every 15 minutes guards are required to make another check on prisoners who are on a suicide watch.

Another recent MCC inmate, the Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, called his confinement conditions at the same jail "psychological, emotional, mental torture 24 hours a day."

Epstein wanted to be under house arrest in his $77million (£64million) mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

The federal judge had told him prosecutors had shown by clear and convincing evidence that he would pose a danger to the community if released pending trial.

Prosecutors also said there was a high risk Epstein would use his wealth to flee.

The sex trafficking charges were recently announced more than a decade after Epstein pleaded guilty to state prostitution charges in Florida.

He pleaded guilty to prostituting minors in 2008 and was given an 18-month prison term, but was released five months early.

In the latest criminal case, prosecutors accused Epstein of arranging for girls under the age of 18 to perform nude "massages" and other sex acts, and of paying some girls to recruit others.

Epstein estimated his net worth at $559million (£464million), including a private plane and homes in Paris and the US Virgin Islands.

Inside Jeffrey Epstein's 'sordid life' including 'need for three orgasms a day'
Jeffrey Epstein, 66 - who mingled with an array of famous faces - died in an "apparent suicide" after being found with "life-threatening injuries" in his jail cell this morning

Jeffrey Epstein unleashed a reign of sexual terror on young girls who he kept as 'sex slaves' before his sordid lifestyle was uncovered, court documents claim.

The 66-year-old reportedly hanged himself this morning at Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he was being held on sex trafficking charges.

His apparent suicide came hours after hundreds of pages of court documents were unsealed alleging new details of sexual abuse claims against him.

Epstein, who was arrested on July 6, had pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking involving dozens of underage girls as young as 14, from at least 2002 to 2005.

He previously admitted prostituting minors in 2008 and spent 18 months in prison after agreeing a plea bargain.

Jeffrey Epstein's 'paedophile island' at centre of sex trafficking probe

In legal documents, released on Friday, he is said to have had scores of schoolgirls come to his mansion and give him 'massages' which turned sexual.

The disgraced multimillionaire, who never married or had children, is claimed to have needed 'three orgasms a day' and when one woman didn't make him orgasm she would allegedly be punished.

He also reportedly had a penchant for 'threesomes with underage girls,' it is claimed, and hired people to "recruit high school-aged girls" for him.

A 15-year-old Swedish girl was held hostage on his private island where her passport and phone were taken, it was alleged.

She was "crying and shaking" after she was allegedly forced to have sex with Epstein but refused.

Here are some of the allegations...

British 'madam' Ghislaine Maxwell at the heart of Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal

Ghislaine Maxwell, 57, the youngest child of media tycoon Robert Maxwell, started dating Epstein in 1992.

It is claimed she actively took part in recruiting young women for sex with Epstein, as well as scheduling the girls to come over, and maintaining a list of their names and numbers.

It is said she was known as the “madam” by the alleged victims.

She was described as the 'perfect stranger' and allegedly lured girls into her and Epstein’s home under the guise of a legitimate jobs, such as answering phones, a pretext that lasted only a day in one alleged victim's case.

She would approach the girls while they were at college, it is claimed.

Maxwell has repeatedly denied the allegations against her and has not been arrested.

Euan Rellie, an investment banker who knew the couple, said Maxwell was the “charming, likeable front person”.

He added: “A big part of the reason people talked to him [Epstein] was because of Ghislaine.”

While author Christopher Mason described Maxwell as “saucy”, “fantastically entertaining” and someone who happily spoke about sex.

Now 35 and a mother of three, Virginia Giuffre claims the financier began abusing her when she was 16 or 17.

She was allegedly recruited from her job at Mar-a-Lago for sex with Epstein.

She claims she was taken all over the world on his private jet, dubbed the “Lolita Express.”

It is as a result of her legal action against Maxwell that the court documents have been released.

Woman claims Prince Andrew 'fondled her' at home of paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein

Johanna Sjoberg testified that Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her under the guise of a legitimate assistant position, but asked her to perform sexual massages for Epstein.

She claimed she was punished when she didn’t cause Epstein to orgasm.

She alleged on the second time she went to the house she was taken to Epstein's bathroom where she and another woman massaged him.

She told officials: "She was showing me how to massage. And then she -- he took -- he got off the table, she got on the table.

"She took off her clothes, got on the table, and then he was showing me moves that he liked. And then I took my clothes off. They asked me to get on the table so I could feel it. Then they both massaged me."

Maxwell allegedly referred to the other woman as her 'slave'.

When Ms Sjoberg asked why Epstein received so many massages, she said: "He explained to me that, in his opinion, he needed to have three orgasms a day. It was biological, like eating."

'Seedy' bedroom
One young girl who claimed to have visited Epstein's house alleged she climbed a narrow, winding staircase, past walls covered with photographs of naked girls.

She told the Miami Herald at the top of the stairwell was a vast master bed and bath, with cream-colored shag carpeting and a hot pink and mint green sofa.

The room was dimly lit and very cold.

There was also a vanity, a massage table and a timer, she said.

Coded messages
Hundreds of coded messages were found by police in rubbish bins and at Epstein's Palm Beach residence in 2005.

Some were from underage girls who were calling to schedule a time to come over to see Epstein.

One message which allegedly reflected that a friend of Epstein is sending him a sixteen year old Russian girl for purposes of sex said: “He has a teacher for you to teach you how to speak Russian.

"She is 2X8 years old not blonde. Lessons are free and you can have your 1st today if you call.”

Another said: “She is wondering if 2:30 is o.k. She needs to stay in school.”

Other messages from unknown callers include communications such as, “I have female for him” and “want to know if she should bring her friend with tonight,” according to the documents.

After Epstein's arrest, prosecutors said a search of his townhouse, conducted under a warrant, uncovered evidence of hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of nude photographs of "what appeared to be underage girls,'' including some photos cataloged on compact discs and kept in a locked safe.

In a court filing on July 25, the government said it was pursuing an "ongoing investigation of uncharged individuals" in connection with the case against Epstein.

Sex slave books
Police found a receipt from Amazon in his rubbish bin for books on the subject of 'erotic slaves' and how to use sex slaves, according to the court documents.

The books ordered in his name, included "SM 101: A Realistic Introduction," "SlaveCraft: Roadmaps for Erotic Servitude" and "Training with Miss Abernathy: A Workbook for Erotic Slaves and their Owners."

Sex toys
Tony Figueroa testified that he was told by Ms Giuffre about threesomes she had with Maxwell and Epstein, which included the use of strap-ons.

He also claimed Maxwell called him a number of times asking if he "had found any other girls just to bring to Jeffrey".

'Shaking Swedish girl'
Rinaldo Rizzo, a house manager for one of Maxwell’s close friends - Eva Dublin - testified through tears how, while working at Dubin’s house, he observed Maxwell bring a 15-year-old Swedish girl there.

In distress, the teen girl allegedly tearfully explained to him that Maxwell tried to force her to have sex with Epstein through threats and stealing her passport.

He testified: "[She was] very attractive, beautiful young girl. Makeup, very put together, casual dress.

"But she seemed to be upset, maybe distraught, and she was shaking, and as she sat down, she sat down and sat in the stool exactly the way the girls that I mentioned to you sat at Jeffrey’s house, with no expression and with their head down. But we could tell that she was very nervous."

She claimed she had no idea how she had gotten to New York from “the island,” referring to Epstein’s compound in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

A spokesperson for Dubin denies the allegations in the unsealed filing, calling them “demonstrably false.”

'Over 100 girls'
Juan Alessi, Esptein's house manager, testified that over a 10-year period that over 100 girls, who he was told were 'massage therapists', came to the house.

He said that when cleaning up after a massage of Espstein or Maxwell he found vibrators and sex toys.

The Black Book

Palm Beach Police confiscated an extensive lists of contacts with phone numbers from Maxwell and Epstein’s residence.

Maxwell is claimed to have maintained a contact list in an approximately 100-page-long hard copy, which was openly available to other house employees.

It consisted primarily of telephone numbers, addresses, or email addresses for various personal friends, associates, employees, or personal or business connections of Epstein or her.

There was also allegedly several sections entitled “Massage” alongside a geographical designation with names of females and corresponding telephone numbers.

These numbers reportedly included those of underage females with no training in massage therapy.

Trips to Thailand
Maxwell allegedly told Virginia Giuffre she had to meet young girls in Thailand and bring them back to the U.S. for Epstein and her.

She would write the girls' names down and arrange the times, it is claimed.

Private island

Another alleged Epstein victim, Sarah Ransome, said that Maxwell and Epstein kept her passport when she was trafficked to his private island.

She once allegedly tried to swim away before she was brought back.

Reports have claimed that girls as young as 12 were taken there for sex with Epstein.

There are allegations underage girls were used as sex slaves and repeatedly abused inside a temple on the island of Little St James, dubbed 'paedophile island' and 'orgy island'.

He bought it more than two decades ago and created a high-security oasis, featuring the bizarre blue and white structure, complete with a gold dome, and a mansion.

'Paedo island', as it has become known, has remained Epstein's main home to date but been shrouded in mystery.

The 78-acre island lies between St Thomas and St John, two of the largest islands of the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.

Sinister theories have emerged about its use, with neighbours calling it "our dark corner".

The enormous stone mansion, with cream walls and a bright turquoise roof surrounded by maids' quarters was built first, followed by the temple topped with a gold dome.

Speculation about the building, resembling a religious temple, has questioned if it was used for the child sex abuse Epstein was accused of.

A medieval-style lock on the front became a curious point of conversation for those working there, who suggested it could have been used to lock people inside with no escape.

The front is flanked by statues painted in gold; one which appears to be Poseidon, Greek god of the sea, and another that looks like a pair of birds.

It is surrounded by palm trees and a terrace with a labyrinth motif.

Friendship with Trump

In a 2002 profile of Epstein from New York magazine, Donald Trump was quoted as saying: “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy.

"He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.

"No doubt about it - Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

The now US President later said he had fallen out with Epstein but didn't divulge why.

Famous pals
At the height of his success, Epstein counted the likes of Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Woody Allen and Prince Andrew among his social circle.

Epstein would often ferry his powerful pals between his luxury residences on his private jet - a plane that would later be dubbed the "Lolita Express" by the press.

Upbringing
Born to working class parents and raised in Coney Island, Brooklyn, at the height of his influence in the 1990s and early 2000s Epstein had one of the biggest mansions in New York.

Having dropped out of college without getting a degree, Epstein was hired to teach maths and physics at New York's exclusive Dalton School.

Ironically, the school's principal, Donald Barr, was the father of US Attorney General William Barr - the man who would have overseen Epstein's prosecution.

Epstein left the role after just two years after reportedly being scouted by Alan Greenberg, the chairman of investment bank Bear Stearns, while teaching his son.

Epstein was reportedly introduced to Prince Andrew in the 1990s through his friendship with his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.

In 2000, the prince was spotted holidaying with Epstein at Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, and in return Epstein was reportedly treated to stays in a number of royal residences.

Despite his extreme wealth and glamorous friends, Epstein kept a relatively low profile until the first allegations of sexual abuse and grooming emerged in 2005.

After Epstein pleaded guilty to child prostitution charges in 2008, Andrew and Epstein were photographed together following his release from prison.

But in 2015, the prince was dragged deeper into the scandal when one of Epstein's victims said she had been forced to have sex with Andrew when she was just 17 on three occasions.

Buckingham Palace has repeatedly denied the claims.

It emerged in 2015 that Andrew's former wife Sarah Ferguson accepted £15,000 from Epstein in 2010 to help pay off her debts.

Did Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein Work for Mossad?

The extent of Israeli spying directed against the United States is a huge story that is only rarely addressed in the mainstream media. The Jewish state regularly tops the list for ostensibly friendly countries that aggressively conduct espionage against the U.S. and Jewish American Jonathan Pollard, who was imprisoned in 1987 for spying for Israel, is now regarded as the most damaging spy in the history of the United States.

Last week I wrote about how Israeli spies operating more-or-less freely in the U.S. are rarely interfered with, much less arrested and prosecuted, because there is an unwillingness on the part of upper echelons of government to do so. I cited the case of Arnon Milchan, a billionaire Hollywood movie producer who had a secret life that included stealing restricted technology in the United States to enable development of Israel’s nuclear weapons program, something that was very much against U.S. interests. Milchan was involved in a number of other thefts as well as arms sales on behalf of the Jewish state, so much so that his work as a movie producer was actually reported to be less lucrative than his work as a spy and black-market arms merchant, for which he operated on a commission basis.

That Milchan has never been arrested by the United States government or even questioned about his illegal activity, which was well known to the authorities, is just one more manifestation of the effectiveness of Jewish power in Washington, but a far more compelling case involving possible espionage with major political manifestations has just re-surfaced. I am referring to Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire Wall Street “financier” who has been arrested and charged with operating a “vast” network of underage girls for sex, operating out of his mansions in New York City and Florida as well as his private island in the Caribbean, referred to by visitors as “Orgy Island.” Among other high-value associates, it is claimed that Epstein was particularly close to Bill Clinton, who flew dozens of times on Epstein’s private 727.

Epstein was arrested on July 8th after indictment by a federal grand jury in New York. It was more than a decade after Alexander Acosta, the top federal prosecutor in Miami, who is now President Trump’s secretary of labor, accepted a plea bargain involving similar allegations regarding pedophilia that was not shared with the accusers prior to being finalized in court. There were reportedly hundreds of victims, some 35 of whom were identified, but Acosta deliberately denied the two actual plaintiffs their day in court to testify before sentencing.

Acosta’s intervention meant that Epstein avoided both a public trial and a possible federal prison sentence, instead serving only 13 months of an 18-month sentence in the almost-no-security Palm Beach County Jail on charges of soliciting prostitution in Florida. While in custody, he was permitted to leave jail for sixteen hours six days a week to work in his office.

Epstein’s crimes were carried out in his $56 million Manhattan mansion and in his oceanside villa in Palm Beach Florida. Both residences were equipped with hidden cameras and microphones in the bedrooms, which Epstein reportedly used to record sexual encounters between his high-profile guests and his underage girls, many of whom came from poor backgrounds, who were recruited by procurers to engage in what was euphemistically described as “massages” for money. Epstein apparently hardly made any effort to conceal what he was up to: his airplane was called the “Lolita Express.”

The Democrats are calling for an investigation of the Epstein affair, as well as the resignation of Acosta, but they might well wind up regretting their demands. Trump, the real target of the Acosta fury, apparently did not know about the details of the plea bargain that ended the Epstein court case. Bill and Hillary Clinton were, however, very close associates of Epstein. Bill, who flew on the “Lolita Express” at least 26 times, could plausibly be implicated in the pedophilia given his track record and relative lack of conventional morals. On many of the trips, Bill refused Secret Service escorts, who would have been witnesses of any misbehavior. On one lengthy trip to Africa in 2002, Bill and Jeffrey were accompanied by accused pedophile actor Kevin Spacey and a number of young girls, scantily clad “employees” identified only as “massage.” Epstein was also a major contributor to the Clinton Foundation and was present at the wedding of Chelsea Clinton in 2010.

With an election year coming up, the Democrats would hardly want the public to be reminded of Bill’s exploits, but one has to wonder where and how deep the investigation might go. There is also a possible Donald Trump angle. Though Donald may not have been a frequent flyer on the “Lolita Express,” he certainly moved in the same circles as the Clintons and Epstein in New York and Palm Beach, plus he is by his own words roughly as amoral as Bill Clinton. In June 2016, one Katie Johnson filed lawsuit in New York claiming she had been repeatedly raped by Trump at an Epstein gathering in 1993 when she was 13 years old. In a 2002 New York Magazine interview Trump said “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy… he’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it – Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

Selective inquiries into wrongdoing to include intense finger pointing are the name of the game in Washington, and the affaire Epstein also has all the hallmarks of a major espionage case, possibly tied to Israel. Unless Epstein is an extremely sick pedophile who enjoys watching films of other men screwing twelve-year-old girls the whole filming procedure smacks of a sophisticated intelligence service compiling material to blackmail prominent politicians and other public figures. Those blackmailed would undoubtedly in most cases cooperate with the foreign government involved to avoid a major scandal. It is called recruiting “agents of influence.” That is how intelligence agencies work and it is what they do.

That Epstein was perceived as being intelligence-linked was made clear in Acosta’s comments when being cleared by the Trump transition team. He was asked “Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” … “Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had ‘been told’ to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. ‘I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.’”

Questions about Epstein’s wealth also suggest a connection with a secretive government agency with deep pockets. The New York Times reports that “Exactly what his money management operation did was cloaked in secrecy, as were most of the names of whomever he did it for. He claimed to work for a number of billionaires, but the only known major client was Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder of several retail chains, including The Limited.”

But whose intelligence service? CIA and the Russian FSB services are obvious candidates, but they would have no particular motive to acquire an agent like Epstein. That leaves Israel, which would have been eager to have a stable of high-level agents of influence in Europe and the United States. Epstein’s contact with the Israeli intelligence service may have plausibly come through his associations with Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly served as his key procurer of young girls. Ghislaine is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, who died or possibly was assassinated in mysterious circumstances in 1991. Maxwell was an Anglo-Jewish businessman, very cosmopolitan in profile, like Epstein, a multi-millionaire who was very controversial with what were regarded as ongoing ties to Mossad. After his death, he was given a state funeral by Israel in which six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence listened while Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir eulogized: “He has done more for Israel than can today be said”

Epstein kept a black book identifying many of his social contacts, which is now in the hands of investigators. It included fourteen personal phone numbers belonging to Donald Trump, including ex-wife Ivana, daughter Ivanka and current wife Melania. It also included Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia, Tony Blair, Jon Huntsman, Senator Ted Kennedy, Henry Kissinger, David Koch, Ehud Barak, Alan Dershowitz, John Kerry, George Mitchell, David Rockefeller, Richard Branson, Michael Bloomfield, Dustin Hoffman, Queen Elizabeth, Saudi King Salman and Edward de Rothschild.

Mossad would have exploited Epstein’s contacts, arranging their cooperation by having Epstein wining and dining them while flying them off to exotic locations, providing them with women and entertainment. If they refused to cooperate, it would be time for blackmail, photos and videos of the sex with underage women.

It will be very interesting to see just how far and how deep the investigation into Epstein and his activities goes. One can expect that efforts will be made to protect top politicians like Clinton and Trump and to avoid any examination of a possible Israeli role. That is the normal practice, witness the 9/11 Report and the Mueller investigation, both of which eschewed any inquiry into what Israel might have been up to. But this time, if it was indeed an Israeli operation, it might prove difficult to cover up the story since the pedophile aspect of it has unleashed considerable public anger from all across the political spectrum. Senator Chuck Schumer, self-described as Israel’s “protector” in the Senate, is loudly calling for the resignation of Acosta. He just might change his tune if it turns out that Israel is a major part of the story.

Firstly, is he really dead, or is this a way of getting him and his famous 'friends' off the hook, where he is spirited away to live a new life in some sunny Mediterranean country, protected by some odious but powerful rogue regime?
Secondly, if dead, was it really suicide, or was he 'suicided', like so many other major criminals who 'knew too much' about top people, and was a distinct threat to shopping them to get a lighter sentence himself?
Either way, a lot of people must be breathing a lot easier now, including Trump, the Clintons and many many more.

Former MCC inmate: There’s ‘no way’ Jeffrey Epstein killed himself
By Brad Hamilton and Bruce Golding August 10, 2019 | 6:17pm | Updated
https://nypost.com/2019/08/10/former-mcc-inmate-theres-no-way-jeffrey- epstein-killed-himself/

The following account is from a former inmate of the Metropolitan Correction Center in lower Manhattan, where Jeffrey Epstein was found unresponsive Saturday, and declared dead at a hospital of an apparent suicide. The ex-convict, who spoke to The Post’s Brad Hamilton and Bruce Golding on the condition of anonymity, spent several months in the 9 South special housing unit for high-profile prisoners awaiting trial — like Epstein.

There’s no way that man could have killed himself. I’ve done too much time in those units. It’s an impossibility.

Between the floor and the ceiling is like eight or nine feet. There’s no way for you to connect to anything.

You have sheets, but they’re paper level, not strong enough. He was 200 pounds — it would never happen.

When you’re on suicide watch, they put you in this white smock, a straight jacket. They know a person cannot be injurious to themselves.

The clothing they give you is a jump-in uniform. Everything is a dark brown color.

Could he have done it from the bed? No sir. There’s a steel frame, but you can’t move it. There’s no light fixture. There’s no bars.

They don’t give you enough in there that could successfully create an instrument of death. You want to write a letter, they give you rubber pens and maybe once a week a piece of paper.

Nothing hard or made of metal.

There’s up to 80 people there. They could put two in cell. It’s one or two, but I’ll never believe this guy had a cellmate. He was too blown up.

The damage that unit can do to someone.

It’s like you’re an animal and you’ve been brought into a kennel. A guy like Jeffrey, it’s like, “Holy sh-t.”

I told my parents not to come there. God wasn’t in the building.

I’ve had some heavy incidents in the building. What happened is permanent.

Some of the guards are on a major power trip. They know guys there are suffering. They know something the rest of the world hasn’t seen, that a place like this exists in this country, and they get off on it.

If the guards see that the guy is breaking, they’re going to help you break.

But it’s my firm belief that Jeffrey Epstein did not commit suicide. It just didn’t happen.

According to an anonymous law enforcement official source, The New York Post reports that six foot tall Jeffrey Epstein was found hanging in his Lower Manhattan jail cell with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck and secured to the top of a bunk bed.

The convicted pedophile apparently killed himself by kneeling toward the floor and strangling himself with the makeshift noose, a law enforcement source said Monday.

We are no experts but a six foot tall man, kneeling with a makeshift noose made from bed sheets tied to the rail of the top bunk, would take some serious discipline to fight any survival reflex and actually 'allow' yourself to asphyxiate?

A little more difficult than an orange in your mouth and a plastic bag over your head we are sure.

Attorney General William Barr says there were 'serious irregularities' at jail where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself

Attorney General William Barr said Monday that there were "serious irregularities" at the Manhattan federal jail where accused Jeffrey Epstein, an accused child sex trafficker, apparently killed himself over the weekend.
"We will get to the bottom of what happened," Barr vowed in blistering remarks at a police event in New Orleans.
Barr, who said in a statement over the weekend that he was "appalled" by Epstein's death, also fired a warning shot to anyone who may have been involved in the wealthy financier's alleged crimes.

Attorney General William Barr said Monday that there were "serious irregularities" at the Manhattan federal jail where Jeffrey Epstein, an accused child sex trafficker, apparently killed himself over the weekend.
"We will get to the bottom of what happened," Barr vowed in blistering opening remarks at a police event in New Orleans, "and there will be accountability."
Barr, who said in a statement over the weekend that he was "appalled" by Epstein's death, also fired a warning shot to anyone who may have been involved in the wealthy financier's alleged crimes.

"Any co-conspirators should not rest easy," Barr said. "The victims deserve justice and they will get it."
Epstein, 66, was found Saturday morning in his jail cell in cardiac arrest and was transferred to a New York hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to NBC News. Sources told NBC that Epstein hanged himself.
The former friend of Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump was being held in the Metropolitan Correctional Center pending his trial on charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to sex traffic minors.

Those charges were lodged by Manhattan federal prosecutors and made public last month after his arrest at a New Jersey airport, where Epstein had flown into from Paris on his private plane.
Just a few weeks before his death, Epstein had been discovered lying semiconscious in the fetal position in his cell. He reportedly had marks on his neck, raising the possibility that he had attempted to kill himself then.
Epstein was subsequently transferred to suicide watch — but outlets reported that he was taken off suicide watch just six days later. He had reportedly been alone in his cell and was not monitored by guards who were supposed to check on him every 30 minutes.
The New York Times also reported that Epstein's cellmate had been transferred shortly before the apparent suicide, leaving him alone.
Barr, keynote speaker at the National Fraternal Order of Police's biennial conference in New Orleans, said Epstein's case "was very important to the Department of Justice and to me personally," as well as to the FBI and the federal prosecutors preparing to take the case to trial.
"Most importantly, this case was important to the victims who had the courage to come forward and deserved the opportunity to confront the accused in the courtroom," Barr said.
"I was appalled, and indeed the whole department was, and frankly angry, to learn of the MCC's failure to adequately secure this prisoner," Barr said.
He continued: "We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation. The FBI and the Office of Inspector General are doing just that."
Barr also assured that Epstein's case, and the cases related to his alleged sex crimes, will continue on "against anyone who was complicit with Epstein."
The wealthy financier was accused in the New York case of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls at his mansions on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and in Palm Beach, Florida, between 2002 and 2005. He had pleaded not guilty to the two counts against him, which carried a maximum possible sentence of 45 years if convicted.
A decade earlier, Epstein had pleaded guilty to Florida state charges of prostitution with an underage girl, which allowed him to avoid more severe federal charges.
He was sentenced to 13 months in a state prison, and was allowed out on work release for most days during his incarceration. Alex Acosta, who was the top prosecutor in Florida at that time, resigned as Trump's Labor secretary last month amid an outcry over Epstein's lenient plea deal.
On Friday, a federal appeals court publicly disclosed nearly 2,000 pages of documents related to Epstein that had previously been entered under seal in a case involving one of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Giuffre, and Ghislaine Maxwell, the late money manager's alleged procurer of underage girls.
The documents included flight records showing that Trump had flown on Epstein's private plane in 1996; previously released flight logs showed Clinton had been on the plane multiple times.
The death of Epstein — possibly the most high-profile and highly scrutinized prisoner in the country — lit social media ablaze, fueling rampant speculation and conspiracy theories.
Trump himself retweeted a baseless conspiracy that tried to connect Clinton to Epstein's death, despite Barr saying in a statement that it was a suicide. Lynne Patton, a senior Housing and Urban Development official, suggested on Instagram that Hillary Clinton was responsible — also without any evidence.
The New York City medical examiner performed an autopsy of Epstein, but said its determination is "pending further information at this time."

Jeffrey Epstein 'told jail guards and inmates someone tried to kill him'
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-told-jail-guards -18894171

Jeffrey Epstein, 66, died this morning after being found with "life-threatening" injuries in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, New York - the FBI is investigating

Disgraced Jeffrey Epstein who was found 'hanged' in his jail cell this morning had recently expressed fears for his life, it has been claimed.

The 66-year-old convicted sex offender reportedly told guards and fellow inmates he believed someone was trying to kill him.


The multimillionaire, who was being held on sex trafficking charges at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, had previously been on suicide watch.

However, he was not on suicide watch at the time of his death earlier today.

And according to an insider, Epstein had appeared to be in good spirits when they visited him recently and "there was no indication that he might try to take his own life".

The source told Mail Online: "From what I saw, he was finally starting to adjust to prison. I think he was comforted by the rigidity of his new life".

But another source told The Daily Beast that wealthy Epstein had allegedly been extorted by other inmates inside his high-security prison.


The publication claimed that he had been living 'like a pig in a sty' over the past few weeks, 'eating his meals off of the floor and constantly requesting more toilet paper'.

Meanwhile, pictures have tonight emerged purporting to show Epstein's body being driven away from the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Photos show a black body bag being stretched into the back of a white New York City Medical Examiner's Office van, shielded behind a white screen.

Several police officers can be seen standing nearby.

Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at around 6.30am local time this morning.

Staff who found him initiated "life-saving measures" before requesting additional medical help, an official said.

He was then rushed to hospital with "life-threatening injuries" and later pronounced dead.

The U.S Department of Justice has described Epstein's death as an "apparent suicide" and said the FBI is investigating.


Aja Davis, a spokeswoman for the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, said she could not immediately say how Epstein died, adding that her office would need to examine the body.

NBC News and ABC News reported that Epstein had hanged himself just hours after a lawsuit filed by his alleged "sex slave" was unsealed.

It revealed allegations against his friend Prince Andrew, who denies claims that he groped a young woman's breast.

Epstein, who never married and had no children, allegedly ran a sex ring of young girls forced to perform sex acts and nude "massages" for him and his famous and wealthy friends.

The disgraced financier had pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges involving dozens of girls as young as 14 in New York and Florida from at least 2002 to 2005.

He had previously been on suicide watch after being found unconscious 'in a fetal position' on the floor of his jail cell with marks on his neck last month.

Officials were investigating that incident as a possible suicide or assault. It was not clear whether officials had taken any special precautions afterwards.

But he was not on suicide watch at the time of his death, sources told NBC News.

Epstein, who was arrested on July 6, had complained about the conditions in jail and appealed a federal judge's decision to keep him locked up on remand while he awaited trial next year.

He faced up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

Lisa Bloom, the lawyer for some of his alleged victims, said they "would have preferred he lived to face justice," but that they will continue to proceed in suing his estate.

"Victims deserve to be made whole for the lifelong damage he caused," she added.

Brad Edwards, another attorney representing some of Epstein accusers, deemed his death "both unfortunate and predictable."

“The fact that Jeffrey Epstein was able to commit the selfish act of taking his own life as his world of abuse, exploitation, and corruption unraveled is both unfortunate and predictable,” he said in a statement.

“The victims deserved to see Epstein held accountable, and he owed it to everyone he hurt to accept responsibility for all of the pain he caused.”

Jeffrey Epstein's 'paedophile island' at centre of sex trafficking probe

The FBI is opening an investigation to determine whether proper procedures to assure the safety of prisoners were followed at the jail overnight, a source told Reuters.

At the MCC, two jail guards are required to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes, but that procedure was not followed overnight, the source said.

In addition, every 15 minutes guards are required to make another check on prisoners who are on a suicide watch.

Another recent MCC inmate, the Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, called his confinement conditions at the same jail "psychological, emotional, mental torture 24 hours a day."

The federal judge had told him prosecutors had shown by clear and convincing evidence that he would pose a danger to the community if released pending trial.

Prosecutors also said there was a high risk Epstein would use his wealth to flee.

The sex trafficking charges were recently announced more than a decade after Epstein pleaded guilty to state prostitution charges in Florida.

He pleaded guilty to prostituting minors in 2008 and was given an 18-month prison term, but was released five months early.

In the latest criminal case, prosecutors accused Epstein of arranging for girls under the age of 18 to perform nude "massages" and other sex acts, and of paying some girls to recruit others.

Epstein estimated his net worth at $559million (£464million), including a private plane and homes in Paris and the US Virgin Islands.
