The Global Elite Unmasked (The Epstein Files)

Most people seem to have an internal “off switch” in their psyche. When the burden of truth becomes too hard to bear, the switch engages and they go back to pretending that “their guys” are bad, but “our guys” are stalwart, moral patriots. No matter how many times we learn of elite skullduggery, of their lies, their betrayals, their useless, murderous wars, and their depravity we still want to believe in something. But what if there aren’t any good guys? At least none who control the levers of power.

The truth shall set you free. I recall thinking how ironic it was that there was a statue of Nathan Hale outside the old CIA HQ building in McClean, Virginia and an inscription from the Good Book: “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” It can set you free, not only the Truth with a capital “T,” but the truth about the world we inhabit. We can free ourselves from our illusions. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Power and money are dangerous. Dangerous for the human soul. We are in the decadent stage of imperial decline. But there is a new factor that magnifies the decadence, hubris, and Luciferian defiance of all laws, moral and otherwise, among the ruling class. Globalism has engendered the development of a global elite that knows no real loyalty to the countries that produced them. They share more in common with one another than with the hoi poli they rule over and are contemptuous of. That elite has its factions which sometimes battle with one another, but they operate in the same milieu. They know one another. They have rivals, sometimes hated ones, but those rivals are not treated with the same debased attitude of dehumanization that the masses are.

If the latest dump of Epstein files proves anything, it is that Stanley Kubrick’s last film, Eyes Wide Shut, was a too-close-for comfort depiction of elite depravity. We need to lose our blinders. There aren’t any good guys coming to rescue us. And the conspiracy theorists can claim another victory. Remember “Pizza gate,” which asserted an elite ring of pedophiles was “ordering” up underage victims for their pleasure via code talking about flavors like “grape” and foods like “pizza?” There was something to it: Epstein and friends in their e-mail correspondence expressed preferences for various “flavors” and used terms like “pizza” to place their “orders.”

I misjudged Donald Trump. I knew he was an SOB but didn’t think teenaged girls were his style. I think I was wrong. There’s lots of smoke regarding Trump in anonymous FBI tips in the files, which are impossible to judge for veracity—but also a signed affidavit, an affidavit that carried the threat of a perjury charge with it, that reported Trump had threatened to kill the girl who signed it and her family, if she revealed she had had sex with him. Trump turns up in the files too many times to count. As do global luminaries from former Prince Andrew of the UK, Bill Gates (suffering from an STD contracted at one of Epstein’s “parties” and asking for drugs that he can use and slip to his then wife Melinda), Elon Musk, Bill Clinton, Peter Thiel, former Attorney General Bob Barr, Chuck Schumer, France’s Emmanuel Macron, Steve Bannon, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and many, many other global elites and celebrities of every political persuasion. Of course, association doesn’t equate to guilt—but these people knew what Epstein was involved in and some pleaded with him to invite them to his “parties.” Others were in contact with Epstein after he was a convicted sex offender. How could they be so foolish as to risk compromising themselves? The sense that they were invulnerable. They had a global club and the rest of us weren’t in it.  

Some will argue that the Biden administration would have released dirt on Trump if they had had it. I wrote that myself at one point. The problem with that assumption is that the Epstein network overlapped considerably with elites from both parties and was embedded in Washington politics. The “deep state” was intimately intertwined with the Epstein network. Officials, including intelligence officials, from both the Biden and Obama administrations met with Epstein multiple times. What we are learning may change our view of what constitutes the “deep state,” a power structure that all the players were committed to protecting.

Was Epstein an Israeli intelligence asset? Yes, I think that comes through loud and clear. There are voice recordings of his phone conversations with former Israeli Prime Minster and former head of Israeli military intelligence Ehud Barack concerning dealings with Thiel and his company, Palantir. Barack obviously saw Epstein as a trusted source. According to the FBI, celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who was Epstein’s attorney, would hold meetings with Epstein, then debrief Israeli intelligence, Mossad, on what he had learned. And we are reminded that the sweetheart legal deal that got Epstein off the hook in 2006 was set up because, as US Attorney Alex Acosta reportedly stated, Epstein was connected to intelligence.

It appears that Epstein likely had a longstanding tie to the CIA, as well as links to Russian state officials, to Indian government sources who wanted advice on dealing with Isreal and the United States, and to international arms dealers, including the infamous Adnan Khashoggi. In fact, moving money offshore and facilitating under-the-table international deals seems to have been Epstein’s forte, an ability that would make him a valued asset for clandestine operations. That and schmoozing with the rich and famous—as well as providing them with leisure activities otherwise forbidden by law both statutory and moral. Epstein was likely a freelancer who provided services for various intelligence services, but for Israel first and foremost.

Epstein and his e-mail correspondents shared videos with one another of their festivities, but I didn’t see them in this cache of files. Upon their release, the Justice Department dutifully stated that images of “torture, death, and abuse” had been left out. Epstein and friends talk about torture and killing more than once. Apparently, some of the videos shared by his group were so nauseating, Epstein himself flinched at watching them. Add sadism into the perverse mix. Jeffery Epstein was playing a dangerous game. The files include reports that he was prepared to cooperate with prosecutors just two weeks before his death. We still have no explanation for the mysterious circumstances surrounding his demise.

Spare me talk of “antisemitism.” Epstein and his Jewish interlocutors disparaged “goyim” frequently and boasted of Jewish supremacy. What we have here is evidence of a vast network of global elites who viewed the commoners as less than human, as disposable waste, as toys for their demented cravings. The masters of the universe believed they were above the law, themselves gods who could do as they wished and would never be held accountable as they set their own rules. Globalism’s Tower of Babel project encouraged a sense that the brakes were off. The world and all in it were theirs. Who can blame them? None of them have been brought to justice for their crimes. Recall that the previous file releases were heavily redacted. This batch is as well but reveals enough to anyone who pays attention. And there are millions of files that have not been made public. The Justice Department is still not complying with the order to release all the files.

Given the official resistance to a full release, I doubt anyone will believe we will ever get a full picture of the Epstein affair. Epstein’s activities spanned decades starting in the 1980s and involved scores of prominent people. Barely veiled threats of blackmail show up again and again in the files. I have no doubts that collecting compromising material on global elites was one of Epstein’s main tasks, as he ingratiated himself with them and served Mossad, CIA, and other intelligence services. Or maybe, as the hosts of Breaking Points (See below) put it, Mossad and CIA worked for him. One FBI document in the files states that Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner had been “compromised” by the Israelis. That’s no surprise. Epstein was apparently a key hub in the Zionist global influence network.

The Trump administration may believe that this version of a “modified, limited hangout” will satisfy the public and may be planning the next distraction: As Trump himself has recently noted, a US “armada” is being assembled for a possible attack on Iran. He has been threatening Cuba as well. But many of us will remember this. The delegitimization of the psychopathic global elite and the US government is accelerating. Our situation is worse than most people believed it was. Will many of them activate their internal “off switch” and pretend that it was all about the Dems or Trump or that the material in the files is fake while they remain supporters of their political “team”? I think that game is losing its effectiveness. The US government has no standing to declare the illegitimacy of other governments or carry on the pretense of lofty motives. “Our” elites are as vile and corrupt as any. Don’t buy their propaganda. There is no distance between Hunter Biden, decrepit “Sleepy Joe,” and Trump. “Good guys” are few and far between in this system.

The truth shall set you free. We should dispense with illusions about the nature of “our” team and “theirs.” I’ll be thankful for anything positive we can get out of these people, but I have no illusions about who they are and where we are heading. Freeing oneself of illusions can be liberating, a remedy to combat despair. It may take a full-scale collapse to end the power of the present elite. I don’t see any counter elite to replace them. But maybe that collapse is the only thing that can save us. The country as presently constituted will go, but the America I loved has been gone for a long time. Yes, we will suffer greatly, but suffering can purify. Maybe we can build something new amid the rubble of the old system.

I strongly urge readers to watch the Breaking Points podcast, which posted a series of investigative reports on the contents of the latest Epstein materials. Most of the references I cited are from those podcasts.
