Jeffrey Epstein’s sinister shadow over West Asia

Kit Klarenberg argues newly released Jeffrey Epstein files expose deep ties
to US and Israeli intelligence networks, linking his activities to
geopolitical upheaval across West Asia.

   Epstein was clearly in the employ of both US and Israeli intelligence. (Al
   Mayadeen English; Illustrated by Zeinab el-Hajj)

In late January <https://www.justice.gov/epstein>, the US Department of
Justice dumped millions of documents detailing the criminal activities of
US oligarch and serial paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, including his vast
rolodex of paedophilic celebrities, financiers, politicians and public
figures. The tranche is so vast, independent journalists and researchers
have barely scratched the surface yet. But preliminary investigations amply
demonstrate Epstein was centrally enmeshed with multiple foreign spy
agencies. First and foremost, the Zionist entity’s notorious Mossad. The
horrors wrought on West Asia as a result are incalculable.

A recurrent phenomenon in the newly-released documents, emails and text
messages is Epstein and his grand global nexus seeking to profit from
Western-inflicted misery the world over. On March 18th 2014
<https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00870649.pdf>, in
the Maidan coup’s
<https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/anatomy-of-a-coup-how-cia-front-laid>
immediate, violent aftermath, he emailed Ariane de Rothschild, a French
banker and CEO of the Edmond de Rothschild Group since March 2023, due to
her marrying into the famous, powerful Jewish family. Epstein was
exhilarated. “Ukraine upheaval should provide many opportunites [sic],” he
wrote.

De Rothschild was drained after a “very long day sitting on bank board,”
but delighted to hear from her close friend. “Miss our talks and hope
you’re well,” she gushed. “Will be at home tomorrow night, will you be
free? And let’s discuss Ukraine.” The “opportunities” Epstein perceived in
the shattered post-coup country, as it plunged into Western-sponsored civil
war <https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/civil-war-in-donbass-10-years-on>,
ranged from an untapped reservoir of young girls and vulnerable women
<https://babel.ua/en/texts/124734-two-ukrainian-model-agencies-l-models-and-linea-12-appear-in-the-epstein-files-we-spoke-with-the-head-of-l12-and-former-models-of-these-agencies-spoiler-there-was-sex-trafficking-but-there-are-nuances>
to pimp out to high-ranking ‘clients’, to pillaging
<https://harici.com.tr/en/unsealed-epstein-files-reveal-private-dealings-and-davos-networking-with-ukrainian-elite/>
the country’s vast resources
<https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/ukraines-corporate-carve-up-collapses>.

In July 2011
<https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00915647.pdf>,
Epstein emailed associate Greg Brown, declaring “the Libyans now are legit,
but need real help,” adding “they must be careful there will be many claims
on that money.” He was referring to Tripoli’s frozen overseas assets,
seized by Western powers in March that year, after the country plunged into
insurrectionary violence. Epstein fired off this missive right when NATO’s
bombing of Libya graduated from striking government forces to actively
supporting
<https://www.declassifieduk.org/nato-bombing-of-libya-exceeded-un-mandate/>
rebel advances, as foreign fighters closed in on the country’s capital.

Brown excitedly responded, “there are already $80 billion in frozen
funds/assets internationally,” and perhaps “three to four times this number
in sovereign, stolen and misappropriated assets.” He was working with MI6
and Mossad veterans to “identify stolen assets and get them recovered.” If
they could “identify/recover 5% to 10% of these monies and receive 10% to
25% as compensation,” the Anglo-Israeli private spying network could reap
“billions of dollars”.

However, this paled in comparison to gains to be had once the
Western-sponsored National Transitional Council unseated Libya’s longtime
leader Muammar Gaddafi. “The real carrot is if we can become their go-to
guys because they plan to spend at least $100 billion next year to rebuild
their country and jumpstart the economy,” Brown salivated. He reminded
Epstein the country was “rich”, with a small population but “the ninth
largest crude oil & natural gas reserves on the planet.” Gaddafi was
murdered by rebel forces that October.
‘Secret Weapon’

Numerous declassified materials amply indicate Epstein was a journeyman
intelligence asset, with connections to several ostensibly separate spying
agencies. Tellingly, some heavily redacted communications contain
references to Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF). These
buildings
<https://www.psc-consultant.com/post/the-history-of-scif-construction-from-war-rooms-to-icd-705>
are used by US intelligence and government agencies to exchange top secret
information, and access requires the highest security clearance. In a
secret January 2018
<https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00917373.pdf>
discussion with political strategist Steve Bannon, Epstein bragged that his
sprawling New York mansion was “similar to a SCIF.”

Bannon was one of many right-wing figures Epstein courted. Another was
Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of shadowy data harvester
Palantir. In June
2014 <https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01918010.pdf>,
Epstein emailed to say he increasingly lent credence to Thiel’s
“‘intentionality’ argument” - the proposal that the “mess” unfolding across
the Arab and Muslim world over recent years was what then-US President
Barack Obama “really wanted”. Epstein remarked, “we would have to admit a
strategy brilliantly executed.” Thiel fired back:

“The ‘intentionality’ argument would center on making sure the US gets less
involved with the rest of the world (I think that’s the ‘plan’). The more
of a mess, with just lots of bad guys on different sides, the less we will
do.”

Thiel was well-placed to know this *was *the Obama administration’s
strategy. Birthed with
<https://fortune.com/2025/07/29/in-q-tel-cia-venture-capital-palantir-anduril/>
seed funding from In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital arm, Palantir made
vast sums
<https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2011-11-22/palantir-the-war-on-terrors-secret-weapon>
serving as the War On Terror’s “Secret Weapon”. It was used to hunt
<https://thecradle.co/articles/digital-kill-chains-the-dark-side-of-tech-in-warfare>
“bad guys” at war with the US, and "Israel" - *the* key beneficiary of West
Asia being set on fire during this period. Not coincidentally, the Zionist
entity has for years <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e6K2ea_e7k> employed
a variety of Palantir products. Thiel commented in July 2024
<https://responsiblestatecraft.org/peter-thiel-israel-palantir/>, the Gaza
Holocaust well-underway:

“My bias is to defer to Israel.”

Accordingly, Epstein was clearly in the employ of both US and Israeli
intelligence. In a February 2016
<https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2011/EFTA02470755.pdf> email
exchange with Thiel, he declared, “as you probably know I represent the
Rothschilds.” The banking dynasty was instrumental
<https://waddesdon.org.uk/palestine-jewish-colonisation-association/> in
"Israel’s" creation, funding construction of colonial settlements in
Palestine from the late 1800s onwards. Epstein’s own ties to the Zionist
entity were deep and coherent. From September 2010 to March 2019, he formally
met <https://jacobin.com/2026/02/epstein-files-barak-israel-relationship>
with prominent Israeli politician and military veteran Ehud Barak over 60
times.

Barak was a repeat visitor to Epstein’s private island, Little St James. On
at least one occasion, in January 2014
<https://archive.today/20250828080839/https:/san.com/cc/impressive-island-ex-israeli-prime-ministers-hacked-emails-reveal-relationship-with-jeffrey-epstein/>,
Barak visited with his wife, and specifically left his security detail
behind. In June that year, Epstein arranged
<https://archive.today/20250719182224/https:/www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/business/jeffrey-epstein-peter-thiel-estate.html>
for Barak to meet Thiel. The Israeli politician was such a frequent guest
at Epstein’s New York apartment on 301 East 66th Street, his staff referred
to the lodgings internally as “301.”
‘Terrorism Financing’

In January, Barak sought to distance himself
<https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kP4Vka4WUgc> from Epstein, claiming he
“deeply regret[s] having any association with him.” However, their bond
<https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01977683.pdf> was
intimate, warm, and long-running. Epstein’s 2008 conviction for sex
offences didn’t dim their connection, and come November 2018
<https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2011/EFTA02614274.pdf>, Barak
referred to
<https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2011/EFTA02614274.pdf>
Epstein as a “great friend” in discussions with Jabor Yousef Jassim Al
Thani, a businessman and member of the Qatari royal family. An FBI
investigation was opened
<https://x.com/davenewworld_2/status/2020592804221870442?s=20> into Epstein
on June 12th 2018.

That same day, Epstein lodged an order for six 55 gallon drums of sulfuric
acid, “with fuel and insurance charge for transport,” with now-defunct,
Florida-based Gemini Seawater Systems
<https://www.geminiseawatersystems.com/>. It would be unsurprising if he’d
been tipped off about the Bureau probe. Someone within the FBI, or a
foreign spying agency keeping a close eye on the agency, could’ve alerted
him. Just as Epstein maintained ties between different foreign services, he
enjoyed relations with high-ranking state figures the world over.

Jabor Yousef Jassim Al Thani was but one Gulf royal who the paedophile
financier counted as a close confidante. Epstein was evidently considered a
go-to figure when Qatar was seeking to communicate with "Israel". In February
2010 <https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00763787.pdf>,
Al Thani wrote to Epstein that the “Israeli operation…doesn’t help anyone.”
He referred to the brazen assassination of Palestinian Resistance fighter
Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai the previous month by Mossad. A day earlier,
local authorities formally blamed
<https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-feb-18-la-fgw-dubai-mabhouh-mossad18-2010feb18-story.html>
Mossad for the killing, triggering a media firestorm.

In July 2017 <https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-55538792>,
following the UAE and Saudi Arabia leading Arab states in severing
diplomatic relations with Qatar, and imposing a US-supported land, air and
sea blockade on the monarchy in advance of a planned land invasion, Epstein
wrote <https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA01041630.pdf>
to Al Thani, offering him advice on how Dubai could rescue herself. “I
think Qatar should stop kicking and arguing,” and make nice with the
Zionist entity, he proposed. “Let the heat come down a bit.”

In reference to the monarchy’s support
<https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/9/why-does-qatar-host-hamass-political-office>
for Hamas, he suggested “Qatar needs to come out against terrorism,” as
“the smell of terrorism financing will be around for years.” Epstein went
on to reference Indian Prime Minister Modi’s recent international jaunt,
where he’d met Trump
<https://www.mea.gov.in/press-releases.htm?dtl/28528/Visit_of_Prime_Minister_to_USA_June_2526_2017>
in June, before becoming the first-ever Indian prime minister to visit the
Zionist entity. Modi also snubbed the Palestinian Authority, eliciting
condemnation
<https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/7/5/palestinians-unhappy-over-modi-snub-on-israel-trip>
from PA officials. Epstein reported:

“Modi took advice and danced and sang in Israel for the benefit of the US
president [Donald Trump]. They had met a few weeks ago. IT WORKED!”

Troublingly, Epstein’s filial alliance with Ehud Barak overlapped with
Barak serving as Tel Aviv’s security minister, raising the obvious question
of whether Epstein in any way directly influenced Israeli policy during
this time, or acted as an advocate and broker for the Zionist entity with
other countries in West Asia and beyond. Barak solicited Epstein’s input
with his public writing, including a draft of his book *My Country, My
Life: Fighting for Israel, Searching for Peace*, which was released in May
2018.

That month, Barak’s wife emailed Epstein
<https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2011/EFTA02245936.pdf> while
visiting New York demanding an “urgent short meeting” between Epstein and
her husband. One day later, Donald Trump withdrew from
<https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/ATAG/2018/621879/EPRS_ATA(2018)621879_EN.pdf>
the Iranian nuclear agreement, in favour of a “maximum pressure” campaign.
In July 2018 <https://nocamels.com/2018/07/toka-cyber-ehud-barak-12million/>,
Barak’s private surveillance firm Toka broke cover publicly for the first
time, announcing it had raised $12.5 million in seed funding from investors
including venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.

Andreessen Horowitz invested in several ventures
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/03/epstein-files-coinbase-silicon-valley/>
also backed by Jeffrey Epstein, including CoinBase. It is unknown whether
Epstein invested in Toka, although his interest in such a company would be
clear. The firm is stacked with former Israeli cyber spies, and has patented
technology
<https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/zionist-spies-innovate-ai-sexual?utm_source=publication-search>
capable of locating security cameras and webcams, hacking into them, then
altering their live feeds without trace. Such a resource removes any need
for real-life individuals to oversee “honey trap” operations, and targets
to take the bait.
