The Epstein Files

And the secret politics

Feb 05, 2026

There’s an old proverb that says no one is free from domination as long as some people are free to accumulate enough wealth to dominate. The Epstein files are physical proof that extreme wealth coincides with extreme depravity. Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it very much does.

But there’s something in the files that I don’t think enough people are paying attention to. I will not be discussing the physical horrors. There are plenty of other places you can read about that.

We’re going to look at what else Epstein was doing.

2016

We’ve known since the earliest days of Trump’s first administration that he was in Putin’s pocket. Back in the beginning, people speculated that Russia had what’s called “kompromat” that gave them control over Trump. Kompromat is compromising materials, or more simply: blackmail.

At the time, we thought it had to do with the pee tape. (If you don’t know what the pee tape was, I envy you.)

Now, I think it’s safe to assume that Putin’s kompromat on Trump likely came through Epstein. Epstein was known for making videos and documenting proof of the actions of his clientele.

Generally, that’s not something you do when privacy is the key ingredient of your operation. It is, however, what you would do if your ultimate goal was developing kompromat by means of honey pots.

A honey pot is a woman function as a spy. In this case, Epstein bought and sold children to fill the role.

This was the ultimate international blackmail ring.

Steve Bannon

We know Epstein was very close with Steve Bannon, and we know Bannon was the first guy to figure out how to use data mining and digital surveillance to monitor, profile, and target people on social media who would be susceptible to far-right propaganda. He literally built the MAGA base by manipulating their online content. Then Bannon sold his profiling data to Russia. (See also: the Cambridge Analytica scandal)

There’s a very high chance Epstein did the same.

It’s not a coincidence that many of the girls trafficked were from Russia and Eastern Europe.

This networking system was also responsible for pushing Brexit as a means of eroding the integrity of EU, which Epstein praised as “just the beginning.”

This is an email chain between Epstein and Thorbjørn Jagland regarding Sergei Lavrov who was Russia’s Foreign Minister.

Thorbjørn Jagland was a former prime minister of Norway, who at the time, was the secretary general of the Council of Europe. The Council of Europe was formed after WW2 and is Europe’s oldest organization dedicated to the protection of international law and human rights. Jagland was widely criticized as being ineffective and slow in responding to human rights violations. He often let corruption slide and was friendly with Putin.

And Epstein was a pivotal cog in the machine of their interactions.

But there’s more.

This is an email from Epstein to Sergei Belyakov who at the time was the minister of economic development in Russia. Epstein was looking for advice on what to do with a rogue Russian girl who was blackmailing US businessmen. Epstein later offers to pay off the girl with $50K a month and threatens to contact Russian intelligence who would treat her far worse if she didn’t back down.

Another crucial politician on the list is Ehud Barak. Barak was the prime minister of Israel from 1999-2001 and ran as a primary opponent of Netanyahu. Over the decades, Barak swung in and out of politics, and he pops up hundreds of times in the files.

Including an attempt by Epstein to push Barak back into the position of prime minister in an attempt to unseat Netanyahu. Unfortunately for Barak, Epstein was arrested during his campaign.

During the campaign, Epstein teamed up with Steve Bannon and his Breitbart counterpart in Jerusalem to push the media narratives in support of the campaign. Likely because Barak was said to have visited the island numerous times, and at least at one point, leaving his security detail behind on the mainland. That probably meant Epstein had kompromat.

Having blackmail materials on a head of state—like Trump, Prince Andrew, and European prime ministers—puts the blackmailer in an extremely powerful position.

But, in addition to that, Epstein also attempted to hook up Barak with Peter Thiel, head of Palantir. Palantir is the company that pivots around large scale population surveillance (the dystopian kind). Palantir is even worse than the system Steve Bannon cooked up as Cambridge Analytica.

These are extremely bad people for democracy.

These are only a few of high scale politicians who visited the island. We also have British royalty and parliamentarians, Saudi royalty, leaders from the UAE, Poland, Lithuania, and many, many more.

Intelligence Agencies

This email below was sent to Epstein during the NATO-backed Libyan uprising to oust Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. They are discussing the opportunities of tapping into frozen Libyan assets, but also if they set themselves up as the primary financiers of Libya’s reconstruction.

Basically, they looked at Libya and said, “Sweet chaos, and would you look at all the money we can make!”

But I want to focus on the end of the email. Greg Brown, who runs a US based company is telling Epstein the plan will work because he has connections to Israeli and British intelligence agents that would be willing to help.

I don’t know if those connections were established or not, and the DOJ files are a nightmare to navigate but both Mossad and MI-6 are mentioned hundreds of times. Then we have emails like this between Barak and Epstein:

AND none of this accounting for the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell’s father was very tight-nit in the Israeli intelligence community.

Why?

All of this circles back around to the overarching “why?”

It physically pains me to say this, but we’re talking about a new world order.

I know. I know. Hear me out.

I’ve written extensively over the years breaking apart conspiracy theories, where they come from, why they propagate, and why people believe them.

You can read the history behind QAnon and their “storm,” as well as how that conspiracy theory originated as Russian propaganda.

But now, we are literally looking at the formation of a new world order.

Following WW2, the world got together and created an international system of laws designed to focus on democracy, cooperation, and the preservation of human rights. We got the UN, the International Criminal Court, the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the Law of Armed Conflict, and the Geneva Convention.

This system, while flawed, has been a remarkable step forward in promoting global peace and has, so far, successfully prevented any further world wars.

Epstein worked diligently to erode democratic systems and strategically put people in positions that would change and alter the global systems.

All of this is intentional.

Putin wants the post-WW2 international order obliterated and replaced with a system called the “sphere of influence.” Instead of nations participating in a globally established set of laws that bind and protect nations and their sovereignty, Putin wants each region to be dominated and maintained by a localized and powerful entity.

Russia would manage Europe, China would manage Asia, Israel would potentially get the Middle East, and the US would manage the Western hemisphere. It’s domination and bullying built on the collapse of democratic principles. Regional superpowers would have the ability to do whatever they wanted within their sphere.

For years, I have been warning that if we didn’t immediately stop the Russian invasion, and end Netanyahu’s abuses in Gaza (and in Israel), we were at risk of toppling our international system. But the overarching erosion of democratic principles goes way deeper that just those situations.

The interlacing connections between people like Epstein, Bannon, and Putin are why far-right wing political movements are popping up all over the globe.

The Epstein files aren’t just an international trafficking ring of the rich and powerful. This was a covert attempt at restructuring global politics. They trafficked, abused, tortured, and murdered children for political power.

And so far, it’s worked.
