In the theatre of global power, few names carry the same toxic charge as Jeffrey Epstein. Officially a disgraced financier and sex offender, his reach into the most elite political, business, and academic circles has prompted a profound question: how did a man with such a murky background gain such extraordinary access? And how did he get so rich so fast? The answer, in my opinion, is clear: the Epstein edifice was not merely the scandalous enterprise of a lone predator, but a sophisticated and morally repugnant intelligence operation run and protected by the CIA, Mossad and some very wealthy people who were excused regulatory scrutiny.
To dismiss this as conspiracy theory is intellectually lazy. Too many threads lead us in one unmistakable direction. Start with the connections: Epstein was hired to teach at New York’s prestigious Dalton School under the leadership of Donald Barr, himself a former OSS operative (the predecessor to the CIA) and father of William Barr, who would later serve twice as U.S. Attorney General and had a stint at the CIA. Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s partner in crime, currently serving a 20-year sentence, was an Israeli intelligence operative who died mysteriously at sea. This is not idle gossip—it is a matter of public record.
Then consider the words of Alexander Acosta, the U.S. Attorney who controversially brokered Epstein’s 2008 plea deal. When asked why Epstein received such a lenient sentence, Acosta responded that he was told Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and to leave it alone. Though internal DOJ reviews later rejected the claim, it bears repeating: a senior federal prosecutor believed he was instructed to back off a serial predator because of national security interests.
The Israeli connection is equally compelling. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak—with longstanding Mossad ties—was a frequent visitor to Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and involved in Israeli cybersecurity ventures funded in part by Epstein. To date, Israeli officials, including Naftali Bennett, have flatly denied Mossad involvement. But denials are not disproof.
Critics argue there is no direct evidence of a coordinated blackmail operation. That is technically true. But no serious intelligence operation publishes its strategy. Epstein’s methods—cultivating underage girls, hosting world leaders, and recording everything—mirror historical intelligence tactics used to compromise and control assets. This was not a deviation from standard practice; it was textbook.
Now we come to the political volcano erupting under President Donald Trump. Recent months have seen a growing backlash from the MAGA base over his perceived reluctance to expose the Epstein “client list”. Influencers, pundits, and activists have accused Trump of protecting the Deep State he once promised to dismantle. They are not entirely wrong.
Of course, many have seized upon the possibility that Trump is holding back because full disclosure will result in his exposure as one of the perpetrators but this is unlikely. We all now know how the previous administration, with Merrick Garland serving as AG, pursued every possible avenue to prosecute Trump. Garland had access to these files. If there was any incriminatory evidence there he would have been all over Trump like a rash.
It is my belief that President Trump is under immense pressure. The Epstein network was not his creation. It predates his presidency, and its core operations were carried out under previous administrations. But the presidential seal carries a unique burden: national survival. Trump, I believe, has deliberately delayed releasing the full extent of the Epstein records. He is buying time—time for the CIA and Mossad to reposition assets, bury vulnerabilities, and protect sensitive structures within the intelligence community.
The ship of state cannot simply stop without capsizing. Should it be proven beyond doubt that Epstein’s operation was a joint CIA-Mossad enterprise, the global repercussions would be catastrophic. America’s moral standing, its alliances, and the integrity of its intelligence apparatus would all be grievously undermined. Trump’s reluctance is not cowardice, but pragmatism.
That does not mean he relishes his role. On the contrary, I assess that Trump despises what he has been forced to shield. His frequent assertions that the Epstein scandal and Ukraine war occurred “not on my watch” are accurate, but they do not erase his presidential obligation to protect national cohesion.
In truth, the Epstein edifice is both a monument to intelligence efficacy and a moral abyss. It worked. It entrapped, leveraged, and manipulated powerful people. And that is why it had to be protected—not because it was justifiable, but because it was effective. In the cold calculus of statecraft, decency is often sacrificed on the altar of necessity.
The American people, however, deserve the truth. If Trump is to complete his promise of draining the swamp, he must eventually lift the veil on the intelligence operations that run beneath its surface. It will not be easy. It may not even be safe. But no republic can endure on secrets alone.
This is not evidence. It is an opinion—but one grounded in pattern, precedent, and publicly verifiable fact. It is time we asked the questions that others fear to raise.

Will and Steve
Damn right. You both make broad statements about my supposed status in the USA and my political affiliation. I am a former Republican and now an Independent. Go and assign your Democrat labels to someone else.
Will, the crap has hit the fan with the Epstein files. Trump is working desperately to avoid being exposed as an active Epstein accomplice.
Yeah, I am not disappointed. Maybe feel that if I kissed his ass I would have been favoured, but now knowing Tony had been the one to sign the deal, that would be worrisome.
Anyway, I recall when Elon Musk was interviewed after the Twitter sponsors stopped their ads, he said “They are blackmailing me with money. The can go fuck themselves”. Same here.
If there are no Epstein files and no dirt why is Ghislaine in gaol?
What was the evidence that put her in gaol.
The photo of Prince Andrew with Virginia Giuffre appears photo shopped. Andrews arm around her waist to long besides who stands at right angles to a person for a photo shot. And Virginia, well she seems to be the happiest girl in the world. Was there an original photo was she with someone else. Ghislaine in the back ground is not the right setting.
I do not believe Epstein suicided in gaol. There are no belts or anything to make it possible. He was sprung. And now allegedly living in Israel.
I have just read that USA debt now $37 trillion. There has to be a huge financial crash coming. There have been suggestions it will take decades to pull out of it.
I understand that Ghislaine, guilty or not, is negotuating a parden. I’m not sure about the photo evidence and Andrew has pleaded internally to being culpabable. I suspect that your wider suspicions are not out of the realm of possibility. In my opinion the ‘sprung’ suspicion, in all the circumdtasnces, is impossible. I doubt that if true his location would be widely known. Regarding the 37 trillion national debt, reports indicate that ten trillion has already been raised and banked. The Trump Administration has sent Congressionally approved allocations back to Congress as no longer required. This is true responsible government.
Will,
Your alternative facts don’t match the truth.
There is no 10 trillion banked. Responsible government?
Our streets are quiet as landscapers, farmers, car washers, restaurant dishwashers, hotel housekeeping employees and construction of which Hispanics make up more than half of the workforce, are staying home, refusing to venture out lest they become victim to the inhumane immigration sweeps.
I am in favor of clearing the US of those that have entered illegally and commit crimes. The rest for the most part are hardworking, tax paying residents.
Trump and his policies are killing the economy.
Get Real.
As for responding to your piece on Epstein and the MAGA revolt, it is so full of inconsistencies and alternative facts that I will not be dragged into the QANON rabbit hole.
Anthony,
It has been widely reported in the economic press that over ten trillion dollars has been ear-marked and committed by global for investors in the United States. All economic indicators have responded posivitey to the good news. US streets are safer and employment opportunities are better because illegal immigrants are being deported. Keep in mind that it is a crime to enter the US without official sanction. All illegal entrants have committed a crime. Democrat voters are perseverant in ignorance. They know that illegal entry is a crime. The statement that “Trump and his policies are killing the economy” is another perseverant ignorant falsehood.
As for the so-called MAGA revolt, the latest polls show another increase in DJT’s popularity.
Will,
10 trillion has been banked dies equate to 10 million earmarked as you’ve just changed your statement. Don’t peddle falsehoods
I am not a Democrat so any mention of them does not apply to me. Trump promised to deport undocumented criminals. His goons are terrorizing citizens, lawful permanent residents and others who are constitutionally exempt from such terrorist and fascist actions.
You seem to have very little understanding of what is going on here. I would strongly advise you make statements based on facts rather than fancy.
Virginia Giuffre worked at Mar a Lago. Epstein recruited and groomed her.
She passed away earlier this year but her story has been well documented as well as the I think 12 million settlement from Prince Andrew.
Anthony,
Please avoid deliberately altering facts to suit your opinion. It is unworthy.
EXTRACT – Virginia Giuffre nee Roberts, was a Epstein victim and later in life an American-Australian advocate for justice of sex-trafficking victoms/survivors. Extract: At the age of seven, she says she was sexually abused by a family friend, and her “childhood was quickly taken away”. “I was just so mentally scarred already at such a young age, and I ran away from that,” she told the BBC’s Panorama in 2019. Later in her childhood, she was in and out of foster care. And by the age of 14, she was living on the streets where she says she found nothing “except for hunger and pain and [more] abuse”. It was in the year 2000, while attempting to rebuild her life, that she met British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell. Ms Giuffre was working as a locker room attendant at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, and says Maxwell offered her an interview for the chance to train as a massage therapist. “I ran over to my dad who works on the tennis courts at Mar-a-Lago, and he knows I’m trying to fix my life up at that point, which is why he got me the job there. I said: ‘You’re not going to believe it dad’,” she recalled. v\When Ms Giuffre arrived at Epstein’s home in Palm Beach, she says he was lying down naked and she was instructed by Maxwell on how to massage him. “Through that time they were asking me questions about who I was. “They seemed like nice people so I trusted them, and I told them I’d had a really hard time in my life up until then – I’d been a runaway, I’d been sexually abused, physically abused… That was the worst thing I could have told them because now they knew how vulnerable I was,” she told the BBC. Donald Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. DJT never visited Little Saint James ], US Virgin Island. Ex-POTUS Clinton visited the island
28 times. The last disclosures are at DJT request. Many people knew Epstein, many liked him, I’m sure he was charming. Most are totally innocent and not accused of any wrongdoing. Those that are guilty are being disclosed. What we do not need are malicious politically vicious voyeurs. We want more transparency not less.
Will,
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at your blind allegiance to Trump in the face of the multiple channels of information linking him like a Siamese twin to Jeffrey Epstein’.
A few weeks ago the White House line was that Epstein was banished because he was a creep and or hitting on an underage Mar A Lago members daughter.
That morphed into Biden and Obama and Harris planting his name in the file.
As I eat dinner this evening, a third version of the Epstein Trump breakup from Trump’s mouth.
This time Epstein was banished for stealing too many of Trump’s employees. Wow. He can’t get his story straight after the brisk Scottish air.
Remember, the true version is they fell out because Epstein outbid Trump on a much sought after piece of real estate in the area that they both reside.
What will the excuse be by the time I raise my head in the morning?
Anthony I have to ask why the Biden people declined to use this information to discredit Trump if it was there? We now know beyond any doubt the extraordinary lengths they went to to concoct a case for proving Trump colluded with Putin to win an election. If they had solid evidence of Trump being complicit with Epstein in criminal behaviour why did they not release it?
Will. I just follow facts. If you can produce her testimony from a reliable news source, I promise to apologize. This matter gives me no satisfaction. I don’t seek a gotcha moment. All I seek is an end to this enormous distraction in our lives and the truth.
Anthony,
The assessments and opinions you have so willingly followed and expressed were entirely invented by Hillary Clinton (Crossfire Hurricane) and given the presidential seal and Barry Soetoro a.k.a Barack Hussein Obama. The evil Democrat Party cabal promoted and perpetrated the biggest fraud and act of treason in US history. The point Hannes Wessells makes is unquestionably valid. I personally asked the then Ex-Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott direct questions vis-a-vis the Australian London High Commissioner (Alexander Downer) involving himself with the Five Eyes in their treasonous attempt to frame POTUS candidate Donald J. Trump. I also asked Abbott about the inappropriate donations of hundred of millions of dollars by the Australian Govenerment to the Clinton Foundation. That us still to be cleared up. His answer whilst not explicit spoke volumnes and in affect confirmed our allegations. There were witnesses to the exchange and if necessary the conversation can be proved in court. A book has been written about the despicable Alexander Downer frame-up of George Papadopolus. Papadololous was framed convicted but later pardoned. The frame-up was the beginnings of the later discreded and fraudulent Christopher Steele (MI6) dossier. The Steele Dossier was used as the basis for operation Crossfire Hurricane. For at least a year the disgraceful fake Steele dossier was leaked, peddled and hawked surreptitiously through-out foreign embassies by the Intelligence cabal. Inter alia Clapper; Brennan; and Comey were part of the federal ‘Deep-State’ cabal. These bastards were not deceived, they sold their integrity to the Democrate Party for power and advancement. Their panic was obvious when POTUS Donald J. Trump was elected in 2016. The depth and breadth of the ‘Deep State’ treason was completely under-estimated by POTUS Trump, thus the general election was stolen in 2000.
All of the allegations can and if necessary will be proved in a court of law. I speak for my own honour without reservation. I remind you that I was once the World President of the British South Africa Police Regimental Association and an Officer of the Queensland Supreme Court. If you cannot take me at my word then yoiu are lost. My opinion about Ken Flower (CIO) the BSAP SB Branch 1 & 2 is based upon the revelations found in the released British Government Cabinet Papers. They discussed “their man in Rhodesia, Ken Flower. The papers are available for all to read on the internet. Lord David Owens, the once Foreign Secretary, had no compunction about exposing Ken Flower and he said so on Radio 4, are also available on the internet.
A majority of ex BSAP – Rhodesian Army & Air Force types now know that the truth. I personally could no longer tolerate the betrayal of Rhodesia by Perfidious Albion and I spoke out.
Anthony, I hold you to your word. Your unreserved apology please.
If DT were to release all the info at once, he would face an avalanche of resistance, and he knows this. I would suggest he will charge the villains on other crimes, but related to Epstein. Charging someone for rape of a minor, if a witness / victim can be persuaded to testify, will convict just one person, and the rest of the bad guys will quite likely sacrifice one of their own.
I dont think the general public are prepared to push for mass convictions. All they really want is to see a list, thats all that matters to them.
Sorry Brian line three of my comment should read, ‘possible’ cancel ‘impossible’.
Hi Steve, I certainly would like to see pedophiles charged and I don’t care who they are. As stated in the article, there are national security considerations but even so, I suspect morality is vitally important to the US population. Trump is threading a delicate cloak.
Trump will use every trick in the book to cloak certain parts of the Epstein file. He figures prominently in it and he doesn’t have the stomach or the courage to see his name associated with his bestie Epstein.
Anthony,
You said that DJT “figures prominently” in the Epstein files. DJT does NOT and your statement is malicious and actionable as a defamation.
and anyway, if Trump was “featured prominently” , surely the dems would have pushed this instead of fishing for the Russian hoax, overvaluation of property crimes, and even a rape charge two decades ago, which had no evidence that it never occurred – even the “victim” could not recall the date. Your people have tried it all, and there was nothing. Perhaps you are too close to the swamp, because that is where your friends are.
Will,
You are the ignoramus you love to call everyone else.
Trump was briefed in May by Bindi that he featured in the Epstein files.
You’re a day ahead of us here in California so you’ve got to have read every major news outlet cover it. Despite this you and Trump hold on to the lie that his name does not appear. What purpose does that server? That is why this matter has escalated to this level.
As for my libelous comments that you ignorantly label actionable….just look at your paper or online today. I have been vindicated.
Hmm Tony, you live in California, right?
Nothing else matters.
Will,
The cat is out of the bag.
As has been proven I’m countless high profile cases in history, it is not the crime that destroys, but the cover up.
Now, Deputy DOJ pol, Trump’s former private attorney in his NY case spent 6 hours with Maxwell yesterday and will repeat the visit today.
A pardon may be coming because she’ll say Donald Trump, who’s that?
As for my assertion rising to the level of actionable defamation, your play hard and fast with reality and the truth.
Hmm Ok, but if you are in the country illegally – that is a crime.
And many of those that have found work, are paid well below the standard rate. Many dont pay tax, that is why they staying away. They dont want to be caught.
Anyone who is caught harbouring, or hiding criminals , are criminals, and it appears you are aware of someone that is. Are you illegally in the States? Sounds like it.
Hahaha. Typical MAGA response. I have worked for the US government, which required top secret clearance. I worked in Iraq on contract in 2004, and have been a real estate broker for 14 years. I would not have been able to do any of this without US citizenship..
Without undocumented labor here the country would shrink considerably. No Americans will work menial agricultural jobs. Often Americans cannot pass pre employment drug screening.
If these people all disappear the price of a head of lettuce will skyrocket.
I could go on but give obviously already made up your mind.
I’m not illegal but it sure sounds like you are wherever you reside.
Be aware that they come for you tomorrow.
By the way, the US will lose hundreds of billions in taxes which some undocumented DO pay.
Oh OK so I am a maga shit head, right.
The MAGA have no intention of removing all illegals, but is taking action on all the bad guys. If you believe anything else, then you are part of the American problem. Letting the trash into USA is a serious problem you have caused, and now you crying about the illegals rights. There are no rights.
If I was an honest illegal, I would not hide away. I would go to the authorities, speak nicely to them, ask for forgiveness, speak to my employer, ask him for help, pay some taxes, and be nice. Hiding away is a guilty verdict.
And anyway, if illegals paid tax, they would be registered – as a taxpayer. As such, they dont have much to fear.
You do understand that the days of the Democrats are over. You can either cry about it, or get a life.
Steve,
I am part owner of a safari lodge in South Africa.
Our partner has been shopping for water and sewage treatment options.
I have many emails from him and I had settled on a company that I now know you own. It is innovative and I would have loved to use your system based on people I know who use it.
Unfortunately, I do not work with people’ who can make incorrect assumptions based on what I can only assume is a warped sense of reality.
God bless you and your family .
What a doos.
You wont take the best because I have the honesty to say what I feel . I dont lie to my clients about anything, and you obviously would rather buy crap from someone who pretends to share your backward believes.
Go elsewhere, and buy crap . And if you let me know what property you have, and I will dig out all the relevant quotes of yours and trash them. None of my stuff can treat your sh!t. And we are the best.
Hi Steve,
Listen to this Anthony Roberts character and appreciate how fortunate we are not to be him. Roberts applies boycotts against people in business if they disagree with him. Roberts had better be a very wealthy man because his boycott statement are likely to bite him in the arse.
