Epstein was clearly in the employ of both US and Israeli intelligence. (Al Mayadeen English; Illustrated by Zeinab el-Hajj)
</li></div></ul>
<p>In <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein">late January</a>, 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\u2019s notorious Mossad. The horrors wrought on
West Asia as a result are incalculable.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00870649.pdf">March 18th 2014</a>, in the <a href="https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/anatomy-of-a-coup-how-cia-front-laid">Maidan coup\u2019s</a>
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. \u201cUkraine upheaval should provide many opportunites [sic],\u201d
he wrote.</p>
<p>De Rothschild was drained after a \u201cvery long day sitting on bank
board,\u201d but delighted to hear from her close friend. \u201cMiss our talks and
hope you\u2019re well,\u201d she gushed. \u201cWill be at home tomorrow night, will
you be free? And let\u2019s discuss Ukraine.\u201d The \u201copportunities\u201d Epstein
perceived in the shattered post-coup country, as it plunged into
Western-sponsored <a href="https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/civil-war-in-donbass-10-years-on">civil war</a>, ranged from an untapped reservoir of young girls and <a href="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">vulnerable women</a> to pimp out to high-ranking \u2018clients\u2019, to <a href="https://harici.com.tr/en/unsealed-epstein-files-reveal-private-dealings-and-davos-networking-with-ukrainian-elite/">pillaging</a> the country\u2019s <a href="https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/ukraines-corporate-carve-up-collapses">vast resources</a>.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00915647.pdf">July 2011</a>,
Epstein emailed associate Greg Brown, declaring \u201cthe Libyans now are
legit, but need real help,\u201d adding \u201cthey must be careful there will be
many claims on that money.\u201d He was referring to Tripoli\u2019s 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\u2019s bombing of Libya graduated from striking
government forces to <a href="https://www.declassifieduk.org/nato-bombing-of-libya-exceeded-un-mandate/">actively supporting</a> rebel advances, as foreign fighters closed in on the country\u2019s capital.</p>
<p>Brown excitedly responded, \u201cthere are already $80 billion in frozen
funds/assets internationally,\u201d and perhaps \u201cthree to four times this
number in sovereign, stolen and misappropriated assets.\u201d He was working
with MI6 and Mossad veterans to \u201cidentify stolen assets and get them
recovered.\u201d If they could \u201cidentify/recover 5% to 10% of these monies
and receive 10% to 25% as compensation,\u201d the Anglo-Israeli private
spying network could reap \u201cbillions of dollars\u201d.</p>
<p>However, this paled in comparison to gains to be had once the
Western-sponsored National Transitional Council unseated Libya\u2019s
longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi. \u201cThe 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,\u201d Brown
salivated. He reminded Epstein the country was \u201crich\u201d, with a small
population but \u201cthe ninth largest crude oil & natural gas reserves
on the planet.\u201d Gaddafi was murdered by rebel forces that October.</p>
<h2>\u2018Secret Weapon\u2019 </h2>
<p>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). <a href="https://www.psc-consultant.com/post/the-history-of-scif-construction-from-war-rooms-to-icd-705">These buildings</a>
are used by US intelligence and government agencies to exchange top
secret information, and access requires the highest security clearance.
In a secret <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00917373.pdf">January 2018</a> discussion with political strategist Steve Bannon, Epstein bragged that his sprawling New York mansion was \u201csimilar to a SCIF.\u201d</p>
<p>Bannon was one of many right-wing figures Epstein courted. Another
was Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of shadowy data harvester
Palantir. In <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01918010.pdf">June 2014</a>,
Epstein emailed to say he increasingly lent credence to Thiel\u2019s
\u201c\u2018intentionality\u2019 argument\u201d - the proposal that the \u201cmess\u201d unfolding
across the Arab and Muslim world over recent years was what then-US
President Barack Obama \u201creally wanted\u201d. Epstein remarked, \u201cwe would have
to admit a strategy brilliantly executed.\u201d Thiel fired back:</p>
<p>\u201cThe \u2018intentionality\u2019 argument would center on making sure the US
gets less involved with the rest of the world (I think that\u2019s the
\u2018plan\u2019). The more of a mess, with just lots of bad guys on different
sides, the less we will do.\u201d</p>
<p>Thiel was well-placed to know this <em>was </em>the Obama administration\u2019s strategy. <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/07/29/in-q-tel-cia-venture-capital-palantir-anduril/">Birthed with</a> seed funding from In-Q-Tel, the CIA\u2019s venture capital arm, Palantir <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2011-11-22/palantir-the-war-on-terrors-secret-weapon">made vast sums</a> serving as the War On Terror\u2019s \u201cSecret Weapon\u201d. It was <a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/digital-kill-chains-the-dark-side-of-tech-in-warfare">used to hunt</a> \u201cbad guys\u201d at war with the US, and "Israel" - <em>the</em> key beneficiary of West Asia being set on fire during this period. Not coincidentally, the Zionist entity <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e6K2ea_e7k">has for years</a> employed a variety of Palantir products. Thiel commented in <a href="https://responsiblestatecraft.org/peter-thiel-israel-palantir/">July 2024</a>, the Gaza Holocaust well-underway:</p>
<p>\u201cMy bias is to defer to Israel.\u201d </p>
<p>Accordingly, Epstein was clearly in the employ of both US and Israeli intelligence. In a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2011/EFTA02470755.pdf">February 2016</a> email exchange with Thiel, he declared, \u201cas you probably know I represent the Rothschilds.\u201d The banking dynasty <a href="https://waddesdon.org.uk/palestine-jewish-colonisation-association/">was instrumental</a>
in "Israel\u2019s" creation, funding construction of colonial settlements in
Palestine from the late 1800s onwards. Epstein\u2019s own ties to the
Zionist entity were deep and coherent. From September 2010 to March
2019, he <a href="https://jacobin.com/2026/02/epstein-files-barak-israel-relationship">formally met</a> with prominent Israeli politician and military veteran Ehud Barak over 60 times.</p>
<p>Barak was a repeat visitor to Epstein\u2019s private island, Little St James. On at least one occasion, in <a href="https://archive.today/20250828080839/https:/san.com/cc/impressive-island-ex-israeli-prime-ministers-hacked-emails-reveal-relationship-with-jeffrey-epstein/">January 2014</a>, Barak visited with his wife, and specifically left his security detail behind. In June that year, <a href="https://archive.today/20250719182224/https:/www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/business/jeffrey-epstein-peter-thiel-estate.html">Epstein arranged</a>
for Barak to meet Thiel. The Israeli politician was such a frequent
guest at Epstein\u2019s New York apartment on 301 East 66th Street, his staff
referred to the lodgings internally as \u201c301.\u201d</p>
<h2>\u2018Terrorism Financing\u2019</h2>
<p>In January, Barak sought to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kP4Vka4WUgc">distance himself</a> from Epstein, claiming he \u201cdeeply regret[s] having any association with him.\u201d However, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01977683.pdf">their bond</a> was intimate, warm, and long-running. Epstein\u2019s 2008 conviction for sex offences didn\u2019t dim their connection, and come <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2011/EFTA02614274.pdf">November 2018</a>, Barak<a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2011/EFTA02614274.pdf"> referred to</a>
Epstein as a \u201cgreat friend\u201d in discussions with Jabor Yousef Jassim Al
Thani, a businessman and member of the Qatari royal family. An FBI
investigation <a href="https://x.com/davenewworld_2/status/2020592804221870442?s=20">was opened</a> into Epstein on June 12th 2018.</p>
<p>That same day, Epstein lodged an order for six 55 gallon drums of
sulfuric acid, \u201cwith fuel and insurance charge for transport,\u201d with
now-defunct, Florida-based <a href="https://www.geminiseawatersystems.com/">Gemini Seawater Systems</a>.
It would be unsurprising if he\u2019d been tipped off about the Bureau
probe. Someone within the FBI, or a foreign spying agency keeping a
close eye on the agency, could\u2019ve alerted him. Just as Epstein
maintained ties between different foreign services, he enjoyed relations
with high-ranking state figures the world over.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00763787.pdf">February 2010</a>,
Al Thani wrote to Epstein that the \u201cIsraeli operation\u2026doesn\u2019t help
anyone.\u201d 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 <a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-feb-18-la-fgw-dubai-mabhouh-mossad18-2010feb18-story.html">formally blamed</a> Mossad for the killing, triggering a media firestorm.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-55538792">July 2017</a>,
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, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA01041630.pdf">Epstein wrote</a>
to Al Thani, offering him advice on how Dubai could rescue herself. \u201cI
think Qatar should stop kicking and arguing,\u201d and make nice with the
Zionist entity, he proposed. \u201cLet the heat come down a bit.\u201d</p>
<p>In reference to the <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/9/why-does-qatar-host-hamass-political-office">monarchy\u2019s support</a>
for Hamas, he suggested \u201cQatar needs to come out against terrorism,\u201d as
\u201cthe smell of terrorism financing will be around for years.\u201d Epstein
went on to reference Indian Prime Minister Modi\u2019s recent international
jaunt, where he\u2019d <a href="https://www.mea.gov.in/press-releases.htm?dtl/28528/Visit_of_Prime_Minister_to_USA_June_2526_2017">met Trump</a>
in June, before becoming the first-ever Indian prime minister to visit
the Zionist entity. Modi also snubbed the Palestinian Authority, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/7/5/palestinians-unhappy-over-modi-snub-on-israel-trip">eliciting condemnation</a> from PA officials. Epstein reported:</p>
<p>\u201cModi 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!\u201d</p>
<p>Troublingly, Epstein\u2019s filial alliance with Ehud Barak overlapped
with Barak serving as Tel Aviv\u2019s 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\u2019s input with his public writing, including a draft of
his book <em>My Country, My Life: Fighting for Israel, Searching for Peace</em>, which was released in May 2018.</p>
<p>That month, Barak\u2019s wife <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2011/EFTA02245936.pdf">emailed Epstein</a> while visiting New York demanding an \u201curgent short meeting\u201d between Epstein and her husband. One day later, Donald Trump <a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/ATAG/2018/621879/EPRS_ATA(2018)621879_EN.pdf">withdrew from</a> the Iranian nuclear agreement, in favour of a \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d campaign. In <a href="https://nocamels.com/2018/07/toka-cyber-ehud-barak-12million/">July 2018</a>,
Barak\u2019s 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. </p>
<p>Andreessen Horowitz invested in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/03/epstein-files-coinbase-silicon-valley/">several ventures</a>
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 <a href="https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/zionist-spies-innovate-ai-sexual?utm_source=publication-search">patented technology</a>
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 \u201choney trap\u201d operations,
and targets to take the bait.</p></div></div></div>
