After cursorily skimming through Jeffrey Epstein’s biography, even a credulous novice would instantly realize Epstein was an artful intelligence operative, a financial espionage specialist and a defense contractor.
While he maintained an Arabian Nights’ harem of seductive prostitutes, including nubile maidens for fulfilling depraved sexual fantasies from pedophilia to sadomasochism of lustful clients with deep pockets, his infamous brothel was in fact a craftily designed honeytrap for baiting influential politicians and billionaire financiers into his social circle.
According to tongue-in-cheek gossip of impudent chattering classes, Epstein and former Attorney General Bill Barr were rumored to be step-brothers, or “brothers from another mother,” as the Afro-American adage aptly characterizes it.
In July 2019, while Epstein bombshell exploded in news headlines of international media, Barr astonishingly announced his recusal from the high-profile case on flimsy pretext that his former law firm, Kirkland and Ellis, once represented the convicted sex offender.
Following Barr's comments, several prominent people following the case, including Frank Figliuzzi, a former FBI Assistant Director for counterintelligence, noted that Barr's headmaster father, Donald Barr, had hired Epstein in 1973-74 to teach mathematics at the private Dalton School in New York.
A Star is Born: How Deep State Recruited Epstein
Donald Barr served with distinction as intelligence officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the parent intelligence agency of CIA, during World War II. Following the conflict, he did M.A. English from Columbia University and was instantly appointed administrator at the university until 1964.
The decades of 1950s and ‘60s were the heyday of the Cold War and McCarthyite inquisition had penetrated all walks of American social life, including politics, media and academia. Barr was evidently tasked to infiltrate Ivy League educational institutions to identify communist saboteurs in academia. During his tenure at Columbia, several professors were summarily sacked and many students were expelled for harboring pernicious socialist ideology and acting as “useful idiots” of Soviet apparatchik.
After completing his secretive mission to the satisfaction of superiors at Columbia, Barr was appointed headmaster of the Dalton School from 1964 to 1974. Using his extensive contacts in security establishment, elder Barr arranged a cushy job for Bill Barr as an intelligence analyst for CIA from 1971 to 1977. Few people have the unique distinction of being deep state operatives by heredity. Bill Barr is one of them as unconditional loyalty to security establishment runs in his blood.
At the same time, Donald Barr was so enamored of hidden talents of his adopted son, Jeff Epstein, that he not only hired him to teach mathematics at Dalton School in 1973 but also recruited him as an intelligence operative and a financial espionage specialist for the shadowy bosses of the deep state.
Epstein’s Controversial Plea Deal in 2008:
Coincidentally, Epstein’s trials and tribulations began after his mentor died in February 2004 and Epstein suddenly became a hapless orphan in treacherous world of intelligence and espionage. Despite employing clumsy tactics and being publicity hungry, a cardinal sin in secretive world of intelligence gathering, Epstein remained relatively unscathed throughout his spying career.
But he ran out of luck in November 2004 after Florida’s Palm Beach police were tipped about young women coming and going from Epstein's home. In March 2005, a woman contacted Florida's Palm Beach Police Department and alleged that her 14-year-old stepdaughter had been taken to Epstein's mansion by an older girl, thus initiating a momentous investigation that tarnished Epstein’s otherwise squeaky clean professional reputation.
Notably, however, the probe into Epstein’s illicit sexual activities involving underage girls wasn’t meant to convict him. After assiduously working to achieve security establishment’s objective over decades, Epstein was deemed too precious an intelligence asset to be dispensed with. In fact, the Florida investigation was designed to give Epstein a stark warning to toe the line and stop being insubordinate lest he ended up in prison.
After accumulating vast amount of illicitly obtained wealth, including $500 million in declared assets and billions of dollars stashed away in secret bank accounts and offshore companies, Epstein was getting too big for his boots and needed to be cut down to size. Therefore, he was implicated in the criminal investigation of recruiting underage girls for prostitution in order to make him realize his perilous situation.
At the same time, however, a trustworthy attorney of security establishment, Alex Acosta, was transferred from his position as Assistant Attorney General to Attorney for the Southern District of Florida in June 2005 to oversee the investigation. Acosta remained in the appointment until the controversial plea deal with Epstein was concluded in 2008 after the latter recanted and vowed to unconditionally obey the diktats of puppeteers pulling the strings.
Acosta claimed on record that he had cut the non-prosecution deal with Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” Alex Acosta reportedly told his interviewers in the first Trump transition while being appointed Secretary of Labor in 2017.
Many celebrities kept on cavorting with Epstein even after the scandal was reported in media in 2008, though they cautiously avoided meeting him in public. Vicky Ward did a redacted profile of Jeffrey Epstein for Vanity Fair in 2003 before he came into media spotlight. She noted Epstein was involved in something described as “national security issues,” which involved “blackmail, influence trading, trading information at a level that was very serious and dangerous.”
“Epstein publicly bragged to various people, including journalists, that he was advising a whole assortment of foreign leaders who included Vladimir Putin, UAE’s leader Mohammed bin Zayed, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, various African dictators, Israel, the British — and, of course, the Americans.”
Epstein allegedly committed suicide in prison cell in August 2019 on FBI Director Chris Wray’s watch. It’s worth recalling that President George W. appointed Bob Mueller for the position of FBI director in September 2001. While during Mueller’s tenure as FBI director, James Comey served as deputy attorney general.
Whereas Comey’s replacement as FBI director Chris Wray served as Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Criminal Division in George W. Bush's administration from 2003 to 2005, working under Deputy Attorney General James Comey. Thus, all three consecutive FBI directors, embodying institutional logic of deep state, were colleagues and career DOJ officials, professing unequivocal loyalty to security establishment instead of presidents who appointed them.
In April 2020, President Trump reportedly considered ousting Wray as director FBI and replacing him with William Evanina. But his “brother from another mother,” then-Attorney General Bill Barr, threatened to resign, a resignation long overdue that Mr. Trump eventually accepted in December 2020 by the end of first presidency.
Biden admin felt indebted to the extent for the inside job Bill Barr and Chris Wray did in undermining Trump presidency that it decided to retain the latter as FBI director for services rendered at the behest of security establishment.
Mafia Wars: The Gruesome Purge of Epstein Associates
After Epstein’s alleged suicide in prison cell in August 2019, several persons associated with Epstein also died in mysterious circumstances in the following years. It was a grisly pogrom reminiscent of mafia wars of Godfather when Don Corleone ordered assassinations of mafia bosses of Barzini and Tattaglia crime families.
Following Epstein’s suicide in August 2019, the prosecutor's office in Paris opened an investigation into Epstein. A protégé of Epstein, modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel who recruited haute couture Parisienne fashionistas for prostitution, was arrested during the investigation, but was found dead in his jail cell in 2022.
Mark Middleton was an American businessman and lawyer who served as a special assistant to President Bill Clinton in the White House during the 1990s. He was the central figure in facilitating access to the White House for various visitors, including financier Jeffrey Epstein. Records indicate that Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times between 1993 and 1995.
On May 7, 2022, Middleton was found dead at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas, approximately 30 miles from his home. His death was ruled a suicide, authorities reported that he was found hanging from a tree with an extension cord around his neck and a shotgun wound to his chest.
In 1987, Steven Hoffenberg met Jeffrey Epstein through a British defense contractor named Douglas Leese. Hoffenberg hired Epstein from 1987 and 1993 to help with the Towers Financial Corporation, a Ponzi scheme bilking investors out of $475 million for which Hoffenberg served 18 years in prison, while the name of his resourceful accomplice, Epstein, wasn’t even mentioned in the epic fraud case.
After his release from prison, Hoffenberg was found dead at his apartment in Derby, Connecticut, on August 23, 2022. His body was in an advanced state of decomposition, and a Derby police officer estimated that he had been dead for roughly a week by the time his remains were found. He was a prolific user of Twitter/X, and likely ruffled the feathers by spilling secrets on social media.
Lastly, one of the central accusers of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, Virginia Giuffre died by suicide at her home in Neergabby, Western Australia, on April 25. Her father alleged in May he thought that “somebody got to her.” A month before her death, on March 31 in an Instagram post, Giuffre said that her car collided with a school bus traveling at 110 km/h and she was “banged up and bruised.”
Reminded me of an anecdote from parody gangster movie Analyze This, starring De Niro and Billy Crystal. Crystal as Ben Sobol, a psychologist, asks the gangster: “So what happened to the guy who dared to defy the boss?” Mobster stoically replies: “He died.” Sobol, taken aback, inquires: “How come?” Mafioso nonchalantly retorts: “It was an accident. He got hit by a truck, twice.”
How an Intelligence Operative became a Pimp:
As I previously mentioned that Jeffrey Epstein was an artful intelligence operative, a financial espionage specialist and a defense contractor, while his prostitution network was in fact a craftily designed honeytrap for baiting influential politicians and billionaire financiers into his social circle.
Gigolos typically are slick and suave, such as Californicator Gavin Newsom, who used extensive political connections of his first wife and former assistant district attorney of San Francisco, Kimberly Guilfoyle, for getting elected as mayor of San Francisco in 2003 and then dumped her after achieving his political ambitions.
Jeff Epstein, in contrast, had rugged and macho appearance of a Marine or a security contractor, such as Erik Prince, characterized by personality traits that women generally don’t find attractive. Epstein publicly bragged about involvement in arms, drugs and diamonds trade. But pimping was his Achilles heel.
Even if a journalist tangentially mentioned his prostitution network, he’d go berserk and took that as an affront to his manhood. He was primarily trained as a financial espionage specialist by intelligence mentors due to his knack for mathematics.
But he got involved in prostitution business after getting acquainted with Leslie Wexner, the billionaire owner of Limited Brands and Victoria's Secret, a lingerie, clothing and beauty retailer, whose iconic haute couture fashion shows feature runway spectacle of supermodels promoted by the company as fantasy angels since early nineties.
Since ancient times, Greek and Roman philosophers were obsessed with finding meaning of life. It’s a pity they weren’t acquainted with avant-garde research of twenty-first century’s Jewish existentialist, Jeff Epstein the Cynic, who discovered meaning of life in having sex and erotic massage thrice daily, as prescribed by lecherous physicians.
But his intelligence mentors were also overawed by exceptional latent talents of their prodigy who had invented a novel method for luring politicians, billionaire financiers and celebrities into craftily woven spiderweb of financial espionage.
Nonetheless, Epstein became acquainted with Leslie Wexner in eighties. Back then, Wexner’s expanding business enterprises were being targeted by Ohio’s criminal mafias. In 1985, Arthur Shapiro was a lawyer and partner in a prominent Columbus law firm, assigned to the Les Wexner account.
Shapiro was to appear before a grand jury to testify about an illegal tax scheme Shapiro was involved with – the scheme had no connection to Wexner. Days before his testimony, Shapiro was assassinated in a way that witnesses described as similar to a Mafia hit. Because of a potential nexus between Shapiro, Mafia, and Wexner, as part of the police investigation, many people and entities connected to Wexner were looked at for connections to the mob.
Wexner also had a close business relationship with Eduard DeBartolo Sr., who was rumored to have links to the mob. In 1984 and again in 1986 Wexner partnered with DeBartolo in hostile takeover bids for Carter-Hawley-Hale stores. The Shapiro homicide memo stated that DeBartolo was “considered associate of the Genovese LaRocca crime family.”
Thus, after Wexner ran into trouble with Ohio’s criminal mafias, he hired Epstein as troubleshooter. The pair forged a symbiotic relationship in which Epstein, using his extensive connections in intelligence agencies, protected Wexner from mafias as well as law enforcement agencies, and in return, he used Wexner’s contacts in fashion industry to hire models for prostitution network.
Wexner was so enamored of Epstein’s uncanny ability to get rid of business rivals and shut down criminal investigations into his illicit financial activities that he granted Epstein full power of attorney over his business affairs in July 1991. Meanwhile, Epstein represented himself as a global talent scout for Victoria's Secret and used Wexner’s patronage in fashion industry to sexually manipulate aspiring models.
Epstein’s Relationship with Clinton in Backdrop of Yugoslav Wars:
Jeff Epstein, however, was no ordinary pimp, as he forged a personal bond with sitting United States President Bill Clinton at behest of intelligence patrons in order to blackmail him, if the opportunity arose, by recording sexually explicit videos of boisterous orgies Clinton partook at Epstein estates, using production team of disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Epstein's interactions with Clinton can be traced to the early 1990s. Epstein donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association in 1993 and, accompanied by Ghislaine Maxwell, attended a donors' reception hosted by President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton.
While Clinton was president, Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times between 1993 and 1995. Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell vacationed with Clinton’s daughter Chelsea in 2009, attended her wedding in 2010, and participated in the Clinton Global Initiative in 2013.
The former president has also been accused of travelling on Epstein’s private Boeing 727 plane – dubbed the “Lolita Express” by the tabloid press – on at least 17 occasions in the early 2000s following his departure from the White House in 2001, a claim based on the aircraft’s flight logs. The Palm Beach Post has traced Clinton jetting to and from destinations including Siberia, Morocco, China, and Armenia in Epstein’s company during that period.
From security establishment’s perspective, veritable puppeteers pulling the strings of ignoble pawn such as Epstein, Clinton presidency was defined by Yugoslav Wars. To give the readers a brief backdrop of Yugoslav Wars in the nineties, Russia’s key ally in Eastern Europe former Yugoslavia was disintegrating. As is the norm, US-led NATO was waging a proxy war by training and arming Bosniak and Kosovar jihadists against Serb forces to expedite the dissolution of Yugoslavia.
In August 1995, on the pretext of Serb forces orchestrating massacres of Bosniak Muslims, NATO mounted Operation Deliberate Force, a sustained air campaign, in concert with ground operations, to decimate the military capability of Serb forces. The advances on the ground along with NATO airstrikes put pressure on the Bosniak Serbs to come to the negotiating table and surrender. The war ended with the signing of the Dayton Agreement on 14 December 1995.
But in the meantime, NATO was nurturing another proxy force against Serb forces dubbed Kosovo Liberation Army. After the conflict escalated in 1998, NATO decided that it could only be settled by introducing a military peacekeeping force.
After Serbia refused to sign the Rambouillet Accords, which called for deployment 30,000 NATO peacekeeping troops in Kosovo, NATO forces under the command of General Wesley Clark decided to mount a ferocious bombing campaign against Serb forces. Hostilities ended in June 1999 with the signing of Kumanovo Agreement, placing Kosovo under UN control.
Notably, NATO launched its bombing campaign in Serbia from March to June 1999, called Operation Allied Force, without UN's approval. The relentless bombing killed about 1,000 members of Serb security forces in addition to over 500 civilians. It destroyed or damaged strategic targets across Serbia, such as bridges, industrial and power plants, barracks and military installations, using long-range cruise missiles to hit heavily defended targets in Belgrade and across Serbia. Tons of depleted uranium was also dropped in Serbia.
The rift between security establishment and Clinton admin developed over bombing campaign in Serbia without UN’s approval. Bill Clinton was reluctant to further escalate hostilities in Yugoslavia after the signing of Dayton Accord in 1995. Whereas security establishment was hell bent on mounting bombing campaign in Serbia to degrade military capabilities of Russia’s key ally in Eastern Europe.
Therefore, Clinton was implicated in Monica Lewinsky scandal and subsequently impeached for perjury in 1998, after which he gave permission to mount bombing campaign in Serbia. Furthermore, Secret Agent Jeff Epstein 007 was entrusted the covert mission to infiltrate Clinton admin in order to keep it under the thumb for the duration of Yugoslav Wars in nineties. Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky scandals would pale in comparison to blackmailing material Epstein had on Clinton.
Character Assassination and Media Trial of President Trump:
The unanticipated arrest of convicted sex offender Jeff Epstein in July 2019 and his subsequent custodial death in prison in August, on the watch of deep state stooge then-FBI Director Chris Wray, was the culmination of smear campaign against President Trump by security establishment in collaboration with Democratic leadership.
The spine-chilling death of infamous financier while in law enforcement’s custody, casting suspicions of government’s involvement in the murder, can’t be looked into isolation, however. It was the denouement of series of subversive events orchestrated by deep state to sabotage first Trump presidency.
The Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives in the November 2018 midterm elections with the help of deep state, and Mr. Trump’s arch-foe Nancy Pelosi took office as Speaker. Consequently, multiple House committees launched investigations into various purportedly illegal actions by Mr. Trump and some of his cabinet members.
Mueller investigation into Trump campaign’s purported ties with Russia lasted from May 2017 to March 2019, thus the sword of Russiagate hoax kept hanging over Mr. Trump’s head for almost entire duration of first presidency.
Soon afterwards, impeachment proceedings began against President Trump after a mole in Trump admin filed a whistleblower complaint in August 2019, alleging Mr. Trump’s involvement in withholding $400 million military assistance to Ukraine until Ukrainian President Zelensky agreed to open investigation into Hunter Biden’s illicit financial dealings in Ukraine.
Amidst these momentous investigations, Epstein was arrested in July 2019 and was found dead in prison cell in August, around the same time that whistleblower complaint was filed. Shortly thereafter, FBI searched Epstein estates and confiscated trove of documents and incriminating photographs of nude women with prominent politicians and leading financiers.
Thus, initiating a media trial of President Trump as carefully selected pictures of Mr. Trump with Epstein’s kittens were widely publicized on mainstream and social media. The unanticipated arrest of Epstein and his custodial death was in fact a cunningly designed plot by deep state to orchestrate a smear campaign against a popular American president in order to vilify him in the eyes of gullible electorate.
Trump Admin’s Rift with Deep State in Backdrop of New Cold War:
As to why Trump admin’s relations with security establishment hit rock bottom in 2018, grasping the backdrop of beginning of New Cold War between Russia and United States is essential. In 2014, Euromaidan protests were organized against former pro-Russia Ukrainian President Yanukovych and he had to resign in February 2014. Mindful that Ukraine had fallen into NATO’s sphere of influence, Russia annexed Crimean peninsula.
New Cold War between Russia and NATO, however, reached the climax in 2018, which was incidentally the same year when Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives in the November 2018 midterm elections with the help of deep state and subsequently impeachment proceedings and Epstein hoax were orchestrated against President Trump in 2019.
On March 4, 2018, Sergei Skripal, a Russian double agent working for the British foreign intelligence service, and his daughter Yulia were found unconscious on a public bench outside a shopping center in Salisbury. Theresa May, then the prime minister of the United Kingdom, promptly accused Russia of attempted assassinations and the British government concluded that Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with a Moscow-made, military-grade nerve agent, Novichok.
Sergei Skripal was recruited by the British MI6 in 1995, and before his arrest in Russia in December 2004, he was alleged to have blown the cover of scores of Russian secret agents. He was released in a spy swap deal in 2010 and was allowed to settle in Salisbury. Both Sergei Skripal and his daughter have since recovered and were discharged from hospital in May 2018.
In the aftermath of the Salisbury poisonings in March 2018, the US, UK and several European nations expelled scores of Russian diplomats and relations between Moscow and Western powers reached the lowest ebb since the break-up of the former Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War in nineties. In this backdrop, security establishment was urging pacifist President Trump to escalate conflict with Russia but Mr. Trump was reluctant to spoil cordial relations with Russian President Putin.
It wasn’t a coincidence that the nefarious conspiracy to sabotage Trump presidency was conceived around the same time when Democrats gained control of the House with the help of deep state in midterm elections of November 2018, and subsequently sham impeachment proceedings and Epstein hoax were orchestrated by deep state for the purpose of character assassination and media trial of President Trump.
Deep State Plot to Resuscitate Epstein Bogey:
Clearly, journalist Julie Brown of Miami Herald was tasked by puppeteers pulling the strings to publish a three-part series of reports on Epstein’s prostitution network in November 2018. Miami Herald is a subsidiary of McClatchy Media Company that has a history of working in close collaboration with security establishment during proxy wars in Libya, Syria and Ukraine, while it has recently published several fake news reports in order to escalate conflict with Venezuela.
Similarly, although Julie Brown received accolades from colleagues of legacy media for exposing Epstein’s sex trafficking network, she in fact played the same insidious role of pandering to deep state agenda that Judith Miller of New York Times played during the Iraq War by hyping the threat posed by Iraq's dubious weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program.
Notably, as rumors circulated in November 2018 that Alex Acosta was being considered as a possible successor to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Miami Herald published the investigation detailing Acosta's role in the controversial Epstein plea deal a decade ago in 2008. Hence, precluding the possibility of Acosta’s appointment and clearing the path for deep state stooge Bill Barr to be appointed attorney general.
As the meticulously crafted deep state plot unfolded, soon after Miami Herald’s publicity of Epstein’s prostitution network, Ben Sasse, the former Republican senator from Nebraska, calling the Epstein plea deal an “epic miscarriage of justice,” joined with a group of 15 Democratic members of Congress, submitting a formal request to the U.S. Department of Justice for review of Epstein’s controversial plea deal in 2008.
In February 2019, the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility notified former Senator Ben Sasse that it had opened an investigation into Epstein's prosecution. In response, Sasse said, "The victims of Epstein's child sex trafficking ring deserve this investigation" and commended the Justice Department and William Barr, President Trump's nominee for attorney general, who said during his confirmation hearing that he would look into the allegations of misconduct.
Unsurprisingly, on February 13, 2021, Ben Sasse was one of seven Republican senators to vote to convict President Trump of subversion of election results and incitement of insurrection in his second impeachment trial, although Mr. Trump was honorably acquitted by Senate. Sasse resigned from the U.S. Senate on January 8, 2023, to succeed Kent Fuchs as president of the University of Florida.
Poetic justice was soon dispensed to Sasse, however, for treacherously stabbing President Trump in the back, as on July 18, 2024, he announced his surprise resignation from the position effective July 31, 2024. It was revealed that Sasse had spent millions of dollars as president of the University of Florida, much of which went to lucrative consulting contracts to his associates. Recently, he has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer.
In February 2019, U.S. District Judge in Florida Kenneth A. Marra ruled that the decision to keep more than 30 of Epstein’s accusers in the dark about the non-prosecution deal that allowed Epstein, a prominent financier with political connections, to avoid federal prosecution was unconstitutional.
The ruling came less than a month after the Department of Justice announced its own investigation into the billionaire’s secret plea deal. By signing the deal, Marra ruled, Acosta and other DOJ lawyers violated the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA), which guaranteed victims the right to speak with prosecutors.
Although the unsuspecting scapegoat, oblivious to executioner’s sword hanging over his head, was cavalierly cavorting in his Virgin Island paradise and New York and Florida’s mansions, while jetting to and from New Jersey’s Teterboro airport in Boeing 727 dubbed “Lolita Express,” it became obvious by early 2019 that law enforcement’s noose was tightening around his neck and his ignominious end was nigh.
Eventually, Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019, and allegedly committed suicide a month later on August 10, thus bringing to a logical culmination the epic espionage burlesque of the spy who shagged American oligarchy.
