Epstein was very interested in nuclear technologies and researches related to biological weapons. Isn’t that too wide range of interests for the owner of a VIP brothel?
US justice is clearly in no hurry to punish its elites. And this is a bad sign, suggesting that Epstein is a systemic phenomenon with which the system itself cannot cope and apparently does not want to cope. In other words, this is not metastasis but a mutation of the system. It is useless and meaningless to eradicate it.
Everything related to the case of the American financier Jeffrey Epstein is beginning to take on an increasingly manipulative character. Public attention is focused on a superficial discussion of the topic of Epstein and his “adventures”; the media and commentators on the Internet, eager for sensational facts, reduce everything to the banal, though fair, thesis about the monstrous moral depravity and corruption of the modern Western elite.
The first question that arises in connection with the publication of the Epstein files is whether this process is being managed (at least partially), or whether it has already completely gotten out of control. The second question is: who exactly stood behind Epstein and his elite club, what was its goal, and who exposed it and why. But this is precisely what they do not want to discuss, preferring instead to report about ever new details of the moral decay of Western elites.
Formally, the initiative to make the Epstein files public came from Trump, but judging by the difficulty and scandals with which new batches of documents are being released, a serious struggle is underway around them. It is unclear for what reason, or on whose advice, Trump made the disclosure of the Epstein case part of his election campaign program. Let us recall that Epstein allegedly committed suicide in prison at the end of 2019, that is, when Trump was US president for the first time. In addition, as the Miami Herald wrote, as early as 2006 Trump personally wrote to the chief of police in Palm Beach that Epstein was doing terrible things and everyone knew about it, and that it was good that an investigation into his dark affairs had finally begun.
As stated in the US Congress, Trump had been an FBI informant in the Epstein case for about 20 years, meaning that he was aware of everything that was happening. It is logical to assume that in exchange for the information he provided he received certain immunity. Thus, by the time of his election as president in 2016, Trump already knew a great deal about Epstein both from his own experience and from rumors circulating in elite circles. Once he became US president, he could have received comprehensive information from the intelligence services. After analyzing this complete information in terms of risks and possible consequences for himself personally and for the US Republican Party, he could have included this point in his 2024 campaign program, expecting that it would gain him additional votes. Whether he actually intended to publish them or did so spontaneously under pressure of circumstances is another question. It is possible that someone in his team miscalculated and the situation got out of control, or perhaps that someone deliberately misled Trump and he opened Pandora’s box. That is he allowed to release the Epstein files.
It is also possible that Trump is somewhat dumb and does not know how to assess such things. People who know him well say that he does not like reading long documents, and you cannot fit all the consequences into a two-page report.
In any case, Trump likely did not expect such consequences, since even members of his own team came under fire, for example, the same Treasury Secretary Howard Lutnick. Trump himself had been close friends with Epstein for a long time, and even his wife Melania, witnesses now claim, met him at a party hosted by Epstein, contrary to the official version that they met in an elite nightclub.
If Epstein did indeed bring Trump and Melania together, this is a serious reputational blow to the First Lady of the United States. What “traditional values” and conservatism could one talk about in this case? If Epstein brought in models and escort girls en masse for sex parties, it would mean that Melania was also a woman with a mentality and behavior very similar to a sex worker. Quite a convenient leak ahead of the November congressional elections, isn’t it?
Now let us move on to the intransparent issues related to both the Epstein case itself and an informational vortex emerging around this case. Let us begin with the mythologizing of Epstein’s very figure, who is presented almost as a Mephistopheles who ensnared half the world in his web. If one judges by publications in the media, a moderately gifted Jewish boy named Jeffrey Epstein and his Jewish friend Ghislaine Maxwell together (!) created and ran an extensive “club of sexual perverts”, a super-elite club with very specific entertainments, which billionaires and politicians of various levels lined up to join. Even representatives of European royal families appeared there.
Does anyone really believe that such a “club” could be created and controlled by two or three people, even if they possessed extraordinary organizational abilities? Maintaining contacts, coordinating schedules for numerous meetings, and constantly conducting correspondence. Obviously, to run such a club one needs: a) a well-coordinated, effective, and reliable bureaucratic apparatus, and b) the unconditional trust of the club’s members in its owners, both the nominal ones and the real ones.
By the way, if we are talking about intercourses of this kind, then the reliability of the apparatus also means that there will be no leaks. And that none of the employees, who have access to tons of compromising material on the powerful of this world, will want to earn a little money from it.
Epstein’s house in Manhattan, as savvy American journalists report, was literally stuffed with cameras. Cameras were located not only in the bedrooms and bathrooms but also in the corridors. If you are extremely wealthy and live in an expensive house, then of course surveillance cameras are part of the security system. But then your security personnel are aware of everything that happens in the house, including the very parties that inevitably turn into orgies. Including those involving minors, and sometimes even ritual killings. Or simply deaths by negligence.
Who selected the security personnel? Epstein himself and his assistant, or special security agencies that have exactly such personnel with extremely stable psyches? An ordinary person would not be able, nor would they want, to constantly observe acts of pedophilia, ritual killings, and other vile things.
Moreover, there must be some mechanism that would make it impossible, or extremely difficult, for any security guard with access to the cameras to have the opportunity to blackmail the guests of the house.
This mechanism could be either coercive, that is, the threat of physical retaliation with a demonstration of capabilities, or recruitment-based, when the security staff become part of the project, demonstrating extreme loyalty to the owner no matter what he does, not out of fear but out of conviction.
It is clear that Epstein himself could not be the guarantee of the absence of leaks. There must have been some very authoritative figure who would say to the elite, eager for such intercourses: this is our trusted guy, he will do everything at the highest level, you will like it. And do not worry about confidentiality, everything is permitted here.
According to the British Financial Times, from 2013 to 2019 Epstein was effectively the personal confidant of Ariane de Rothschild, CEO of the Swiss banking group Edmond de Rothschild. And this was already after he was found him guilty of pedophilia and had served his first prison sentence Yet this did not prevent him from becoming an errand boy for the Rothschilds, who themselves, in turn, run errands for the so-called “black aristocracy.” It is no secret that the Rothschilds owe their position and rise to the Habsburg family, who entrusted them with the management of their finances. Consequently, Epstein is merely an errand boy of errand boys, not the devil who “manipulated the puppets of all countries.”

Epstein was not just a “successful financier.” At various stages of his career he was patronized by very influential US elites. And they saw in him something they needed very much, and it was by no means the ability to skillfully carry out financial manipulations or organize leisure with blackjack and like-minded companions. Epstein was a member of such major globalist structures as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, and no one expelled him from these organizations or distanced themselves from him. Membership in these organizations itself is a marker of belonging to certain elite circles, a kind of mandate of trust. For what great merits or abilities was Epstein included in these structures? In what field is he an expert, and where are his reports created within the framework of these organizations?
Of course, these organizations themselves are not the authoritative subject that protected Epstein; they are just as much an instrument in the hands of the masters of the world as the late “financier” himself. But the owner of these instruments has still not been named; instead, Epstein has been presented as the scapegoat. As if he were acting alone.
Could it really be possible that some individual, even one embedded in elite circles, just opened a super-elite brothel, gathered compromising material on his guests, and US intelligence agencies, whose prior duty is to detect and stop such things, knew nothing about this brothel for decades? And having learned about it, did not visit Epstein and make him an offer he could not refuse? It is hard to believe.
A piquant detail: during the searches of Epstein’s house the cameras were found, but the archive of recordings on the servers somehow disappeared. And to this day we are dealing with textual information – Epstein’s correspondence, half of which, it is about three million pages, has still not become public.
The preparation of the dossier for publication already in itself provides opportunities for various kinds of falsifications and manipulations. The dossier may expose the truth, but not the whole truth and not only the truth.
The Epstein case has generated two diametrically opposite demands. Some people pay to have their names redacted in the Epstein files. Others create fakes, trying to smear their opponents with non-existent connections to Epstein. For example, a video that spread across the Internet claiming that the mother of the recently elected New York mayor Zohran Mamdani had taken him to Epstein when he was still an infant turned out to be fake. The same goes for the claim that Ghislaine Maxwell supposedly spoke at the United Nations.
And what about the statement by one of the most popular American podcasters, Joe Rogan, that Putin was mentioned in the Epstein files “a hundred thousand times”? The point is not about Putin, but about the fact that it does not really matter who was mentioned where and how many times. If among those hundreds of mentions there were something truly horrific, indecent, or outrageous, it should have been published immediately so that everyone could see what horror it was. But if there is no horror at all and instead there are a bunch of dull technical references from which no compromising material can be produced (and apparently people really want to, given that such “sensations” appear), then one has to rely on quantity rather than skill. And the public does not question such statements, discussing such “sensations” with pleasure.
Why search for real compromising evidence against an opponent and prove that he is a scoгndrel? It is much easier to generate a video with the help of AI and present the opponent as a regular at Epstein’s parties. It will not be easy to restore your reputation after this. Society, not without reason, is generally convinced that all or almost all elites have been involved in Epstein affairs; it is just that the data about some of them have not yet been published. No one alone will be able to read and comprehend correspondence totaling 6.5 million pages of text. Therefore, it is possible to pull any fragments you like out of this heap, stitch them together arbitrarily, and present them to public. Or you do not even have to stitch anything together. You can just announce the number of mentions in the dossier (the more there are, the more compromised the person appears).
Now a few words about the purely technological aspect concerning this correspondence, although it is obvious that the correspondence is only the tip of the iceberg; there are things about which writing would be pointless and dangerous. Epstein and his clientele communicated through the Gmail mail service belonging to Google. There were no secure servers, no in-house administrators (which raises questions about a reliable team), and no encryption systems. Sometimes code words or phrases were used. That was the entire protection of the super-conspiracy!
This means that Google has a complete copy of the entire correspondence on its servers, without omissions and without redacted names of those involved. And it is hardly possible to verify whether Google handed over all the correspondence to the FBI. This raises the issue of leaks and the completeness of the picture.
Incidentally, a scandal recently erupted in the United States: it turned out that the most popular social networks are deliberately designed to make children and teenagers addicted to the services. This is built into the algorithms of how social networks function to increase and retain audiences, and ultimately for the sake of money and power. And this is “only” one example of how IT giants, through their products, try (and quite successfully) to control the lives of ordinary citizens. So why would they not quietly take advantage of access to Epstein’s private correspondence and his data?
It is curious that Trump never fully declassified the case of the assassination of President John Kennedy, although he promised to do so. The secret of Kennedy’s assassination remains dangerous for the ruling elite; the real killers still firmly control the situation, even though more than 60 years have passed and almost all those involved have already died.
But the dead Epstein and his network (if a controlled leak did indeed take place) do not pose a serious danger to the masters of the world. The vortex surrounding the Epstein dossier continues to expand, involving more and more names, but this very expansion signifies a certain triviality of those involved. In other words, those who will be affected by the Epstein case (even if they manage to have their names redacted) are small fry, albeit being superrich and having certain influence over processes.
For some reason these pseudo-elites decided that they were allowed everything. They demonstratively posed in front of cameras at Epstein’s parties, providing devastating compromising material against themselves and, most importantly, fully understanding that they were providing it voluntarily. Because such posing was not perceived by them as compromising material. And it is very important to understand why.
One possible answer is that they were absolutely certain that within their group such behavior was not considered compromising at all. On the contrary, it was a demonstration that, unlike the ordinary people, they are not feeble creatures but mighty personalities; that they stand above all these social norms, laws, and taboos. Not because no one would ever find out, or because they have the money to hush up the scandal or powerful protection that will protect them, but because all of that is merely a product of contemptible materiality, its regulator, while these global elites consider themselves, as a bearer of a specific spirit and can step over the “all-too-human” nature.
In essence, such a worldview is a form of Gnosticism, which divides people into categories depending on whether, besides their bodily shell, they also possess a soul/spirit. Since spirit and matter mix but do not merge, a bearer of a “divine spark” can act in two ways: either withdraw into asceticism, minimizing contact with matter, or indulge in debauchery, destroying the flesh while believing that the spirit will remain unaffected.
Whether the members of Epstein’s circle professed any particular religion of a Gnostic type is not being told. And apparently nothing specific will be said, with the matter dismissed by attaching labels and vague accusations of Satanism or occultism, which undoubtedly did occur. But occultism differs from occultism. Frankly speaking, it is impossible to believe that Epstein and those behind him, while gathering such a huge circle of the richest and most influential people from all over the world, had no project concerning the organization of the world. And that everything ultimately came down to banal sex intercourses (albeit in an extremely perverted form).
But it is precisely this part of Epstein’s interests that no one truly wants to discuss.
Epstein was interested not only in VIP prostitutes and their clients. He had a reputation as a patron of science, cultivated relationships with major scientists, and invited them to his parties, much more innocent than those attended by members of the British royal family.
Judging by the already published part of the Epstein dossier, he was far from indifferent to current politics. He discussed Russian-Ukrainian relations, interaction with the Russian opposition, possibilities for a change of power in Russia, and established contacts not only with the opposition but also with representatives of the current Russian authorities and special services.
One example is Epstein’s trip to the closed town of Sarov (also known as the famous Arzamas-16), which hosts he Russian center for nuclear research, and a joint project on “digitalization” with local scientists.
Last but not least: Epstein was very interested in nuclear technologies and researches related to biological weapons. Is that not too wide a range of interests for the owner of a VIP brothel? I would venture to suggest that if the metaphysical foundation of this entire Epstein circle was indeed Gnosticism (something quite appealing to many elites), then it might have been a Gnosticism of an eliminatory type, where the main task of the adept is the destruction of the material universe, rather than simply the individual escape of divine sparks from it into the Absolute.
Whether Epstein’s admirers were initiated into this project is difficult to judge; most likely some of them were aware of it. It is also understandable that in order to conceal the true background of the orgies they staged, they would have to pretend that these were “just” orgies beyond the law, public exposure would have interfered with the implementation of this global project. It cannot be ruled out that exposing the ordinary participants in the process was itself part of the plan. But it is impossible to understand what exactly this plan consisted of if one discusses only the names of the participants and the list of criminal statutes they violated.
At present, only Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein himself have ended up in prison, while several other people have lost their positions and reputations. However, we do not see a wave of criminal cases or mass protests demanding the resignation of the most odious members of Epstein’s club. They continue to go to work, appear in public, implausibly fend off accusations, and live more or less the same lives as before. Some, however, repent. Thus, the former prime minister of Norway, Thorbjørn Jagland, even tried to take his own life amid the scandal, but he was apparently revived. In such cases, however, the question always remains: did the person’s conscience awaken belatedly, or did someone try to help him “keep silent”?
Society is being persuaded that all of this is nothing more than a club of elite perverts. That the occult rituals they practiced were merely eccentricities of the elite resulting from their deep personal corruption. That Epstein had no super-project, just as there was no subject directing him and providing resources. That the guilty lovers of unlawful entertainments will sooner or later be punished, even if only through public condemnation or stains on their reputations.
But the subject who would carry out the punishment of the guilty does not exist yet either. US justice is clearly in no hurry to punish its elites. And this is a bad sign, suggesting that Epstein is a systemic phenomenon with which the system itself cannot cope and apparently does not want to cope. In other words, this is not metastasis but a mutation of the system. It is useless and meaningless to eradicate it.
