politicians, financiers and stars in the Epstein system

The “Epstein files” involve leaders of finance, politics and culture: powerful names who have come under the spotlight for relationships and interests linked to the financier

With the late Jeffrey Epstein they hope to frame Donald J. Trump, but there are at least two Democratic US presidents on the gridiron: Bill Clinton and Barak Obama. So Joe Biden refused to release the Epstein files; The Donald did it. And now the manhunt has begun among the 3.5 million documents; few realize that in dirty business it is women who count a lot. Not the victims, but Hillary Clinton, Kathryn Ruemmler, Lesley Groff, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Sarah Ferguson and the Queen of Swords who in tarot cards is the source of all evil: Ghislaine Maxwell.

There are two other misunderstandings, one artfully constructed: that it is the right that has fueled the filthy trafficking of pedo-financing. In reality, Epstein was a Democratic voter and financed the party with amounts ten times higher than what he gave to the Republicans: between 1989 and 2018 he gave 147 thousand dollars to the Democrats and 18 thousand to the Republicans. The biggest beneficiaries were Bill and Hillary Clinton, Senator Chuck Schumer, John Kerry, Richard Gephardt and Chris Dodd. Epstein, new and perverse Karl Marx makes the prophecy “a ghost wanders around Europe” come true. He established a socialist International of immoderate lust in exchange for state secrets. As an unscrupulous stock market operator, he implemented a Ponzi system with the girls whereby those lured earned more money if they brought other girls and the insider trading of the orgy to receive information to be transformed into money. His minors sent to the four corners of the globe on the plane renamed “Lolita Express” were all “honey traps”: honey traps for those who matter in the world. And the left matters a lot. The other misunderstanding is not having understood that two networks have merged: Jeffrey’s and Ghislaine’s, inherited from her father Robert Maxwell. He had transformed Headington Hill Hall, the family residence – in retaliation today it houses the Oxford Faculty of Law – into a headquarters for Western secret services in close connection with the Mossad. Ghislaine brought her as a dowry to Jeffrey in exchange for the satisfaction of his perversions. It is logical that London was the branch on the Upper East side of Manhattan where Epstein had his operations centre. Andrea Mountbatten-Windsor ended up in handcuffs and now the scandal also affects King Charles III.

The proof that Jeffrey did business thanks to the Labor party comes from the handcuffs on Peter Mandelson, who Keir Starmer, the British Labor prime minister, appointed ambassador to Washington. Mendelson was given at least £75,000 by Epstein in exchange for secrets. Also in the group that threatened to overwhelm Starmer was Morgan McSweeney, Downing Street’s chief of staff. Mandelson was Tony Blair’s spin doctor and a close friend of Andrea. EU Trade Commissioner has exported – it seems – all, absolutely all, of Epstein’s interests to Brussels. In Gordon Brown’s government he was Minister of Industry, architect of New Labor which was so popular with all of Europe’s gauche caviar, a tireless lobbyist who uses two levers: belonging to the Jewish community and to the gay community. Sarah Ferguson, married to Windsor, knew and constantly beat the cash. Mandelson’s run ended with an arrest for suspected “misconduct in a public setting.”

When crossing the English Channel, you always turn left. The French prosecutor’s office is investigating Jack Lang, socialist minister of culture under Mitterrand for a decade. His daughter Caroline is also under investigation: she had an off-shore company with pedo-financing. We are also investigating one of the French left’s enfant gâté: the diplomat Fabrice Aidan, mentioned over 200 times in the files, who began exchanging information with Epstein since he was in New York.

The issue of Jean-Luc Brunel’s sudden death in 2022 is hot again. He was the model procurer, he knew everything about risqué Paris, they had to try him for sex trafficking, they found him hanged like his “boss” in a cell in the Santé.

We go up to Norway where the aspiring queen Mette-Marit flirts with Epstein via email. Son Marius Borg Høiby, 29, was arrested for rape. He must have learned from his American friend. One wonders whether the friendship between the princess and the paedo-financier has not compromised the government and the European Community: two Norwegian Foreign Ministers, Thorbjørn Jagland, who was also secretary of the Council of Europe – the one that also deals with human rights! -, and Børge Brende, were in wealthy correspondence with Epstein. Jagland is one of the leading members of the Norwegian Labor Party. The Slovak Foreign Minister, Miroslav Lajcák, right-hand man of Robert Fico, the social democratic and Euro-enthusiast prime minister, appears to exchange emails along these lines with Epstein: «Moscow has oil and girls», with the paedo-financier replying: «Girls are Russia’s best export». The international of those involved with Epstein arrives in the Emirates, involving Ahmed Bin Sulayem, entrepreneur, president and CEO of DP World, one of the main logistics groups in the world (the American addresses him with “I really liked the torture video” even if the meaning is not clear). Then there are Ivory Coast, Mongolia, or Russia, through the ambassador to Washington Vitaly Churkin.

But it is in the United States that Epstein has his political-business harem. It involves a name that the European and Italian left in particular has revered: Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary with Bill Clinton and economic advisor to Barack Obama. Resigning from the Open AI board, Summers – who also gave up teaching at Harvard due to the scandal – laconically said about his relationship with Epstein: “I’m ashamed.”

It is a large net that has caught Noam Chomsky, the guru of American left-wing culture, Woody Allen, Bill Gates, Alan Dershowitz (America’s best-known criminal lawyer who served in the Democratic Party for 60 years).

But the “queen” couple is the Clintons. Hillary tried to say that Jeffrey barely knew him, tried not to testify to Congress, but risked arrest. It was found that Epstein was received at the White House 17 times by Bill Clinton. Ghislaine Maxwell was among the guests of honor at presidential daughter Chelsea Clinton’s wedding and funded the family’s charitable foundation with more than $1 million. Around that living room were the lawyer Kathryn Ruemmel, Barak Obama’s legal advisor at the White House and then head of the legal department of Goldman Sachs (from which she resigned). With her were Lynn Foster de Rothschild, who founded the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, an NGO for beneficial capitalism. They photographed her 700 times with Epstein. Between money and politics there is also Jes Staley, a major financier of the Democrats, the man who covered all of Epstein’s finances at JPMorgan. It is he who facilitated the meeting with Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google and main supporter of Barak Obama. As well as David Brooks, one of the major commentators of the New York Times who contributed to giving Epstein good press. Now the NYT says that Trump is up to his neck in the Epstein files. The Donald is there in the 3.5 million documents, as are Elon Musk and Steve Bannon, and the Maga people are pushing for everything to be known. But for now what is known is that to meet Jeffrey Epstein you have to look to the far left.
