An investigation into the geopolitical aspects of the Epstein affair
In the context of the declassification of documents that “spare” Epstein’s American targets, attempts to implicate Trump, as well as the insistence on demanding the publication of all documents in which he is mentioned, do not seem particularly judicious. Why?
White House files: who holds whom?
Irony? It is precisely within this “open state” promoted by Trump that Epstein case documents are resurfacing. They first reveal the structures of the “deep state.” Then they implicate Trump’s transactional Middle East policy in favor of Israel. One thesis emerges: this policy may have been shaped under pressure from Israeli intelligence services, the Mossad, exerting influence both on Donald Trump and on members of the global elite involved in the Epstein network. Their names are gradually emerging, bit by bit.
Today, Trump is no longer just a target. After Epstein, he potentially holds key cards. Although he is himself part of the system he claims to transcend, he now possesses leverage created by the Epstein network—tools of influence over both U.S. policy and the political and judicial decisions of states whose actors are compromised.
It is unclear how the U.S. Department of Justice determined the order of document releases. However, it is established that this is also a profitable business. Already, 25 Epstein targets are said to have paid significant sums to avoid prosecution. Their names were redacted in the first three million pages released.
A large portion of the material concerns European political figures, with potential destabilizing consequences for allies, particularly the United Kingdom and France.
In the United Kingdom: Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s close associate; Peter Mandelson, former minister and ambassador to the United States; Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew.
In France: Jean-Luc Brunel, modeling agent and Epstein associate, whose 2022 prison suicide remains as contested as Epstein’s; Jack Lang and his daughter Caroline, former Minister of Culture and Education, from a Alsatian Jewish family, long-time head of the Arab World Institute; Fabrice Aidan, French diplomat.
Some compromised individuals are accused of having transmitted economic, political, or military secrets either to Israel or to internal factions of its government. Unverified allegations also mention the participation of public figures in satanic cults.
This is therefore an international affair with potentially major geopolitical consequences. Even if opponents of the Trump–Netanyahu duo succeed in sidelining these leaders, the Epstein network could continue to operate through the Mossad and the FSB, at the very heart of the affair.
Between antisemitism and lack of self-criticism
The narrative surrounding the Epstein affair, in which Israeli intelligence services occupy a central place, easily fuels paranoia. It reactivates historical patterns of persecution, such as witch hunts or the persecution of Jews in the Middle Ages, as well as the old idea of a hidden group controlling the world.
This is what Sébastien Lévi, commentator on the Israeli public channel Kan in French and U.S. correspondent for the French press, emphasizes. According to him, the Epstein affair offers antisemites an opportunity to revive the Protocols of the Elders of Zion—a document generally considered by historians to be a forgery, likely produced in Imperial Russia, probably within circles of the Okhrana (secret police), in order to discredit liberal reform movements by turning them into “Jewish conspiracies,” or to slow the rise of Zionism after the 1897 Basel Congress.
Lévi concludes: “Epstein’s crimes are not fiction. But their instrumentalization fits into a conspiratorial and antisemitic drift. The rhetoric of ‘stateless elites’ or ‘degenerates of finance’ opens dangerous shortcuts. When Philippe de Villiers speaks of a ‘planetary caste of globalized elites that must unmask itself,’ even unintentionally, he feeds rhetoric that can be reappropriated by antisemitism. The Epstein affair requires clearly identified responsibility. History shows that in such circumstances, Jews often become scapegoats.”
However, in Lévi’s analysis, a form of self-criticism is missing. He does not question the current Middle East policy of the Trump–Netanyahu duo, which is of an aggressive and supremacist nature, and which encourages simplistic responses to complex problems.
Avoiding the collective stigmatization of Jews should logically also imply avoiding that of Palestinians. Israel, being a recognized state for 78 years, should therefore be held accountable for its actions like any other state, without exceptionality or mythology. Coherent and consistent responsibility is necessary, without exceptionalism or mythology.
But this is not the case.
Hence the Epstein affair, presented as one of the most protected predators in the United States. The declassified documents released under the presidency of Donald Trump—considered Israel’s strongest ally—describe him as an infiltrated Mossad agent, specialized in “kompromat” and the resulting networks of influence.
Thus, the young State of Israel either chooses its allies poorly, or has no need for additional enemies. The world is experiencing a new wave of antisemitism.
In the following text, the author presents the main conclusions of her investigation into the documents published regarding the Epstein affair, also drawing on other reliable sources that formed the basis of the analysis: From the Deep State to the Open State: The Deep Scandals of the Epstein Network (Part 1).
Epstein: The Documented History of the Best-Protected Predator
The investigation titled “Friend of the Intelligence Chief: Jeffrey Epstein and the World of Intelligence Services”, dated February 19, 2026, and conducted by Leonardo Dias—a Brazilian investigative journalist and author—is based on 883,000 documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice. Over six weeks, Dias analyzed this material using full-text indexing via Elasticsearch, as well as Neo4j graph databases that mapped 1.2 million named entities. He also carried out a systematic review of FBI reports, emails, financial records, and classified notes. His method was strictly document-by-document, without anonymous sources or speculation.
The result? Dias first refers to an event dating back to 2008. Federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta was then leading proceedings against Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of sexually abusing 36 underage girls in Florida. He received a phone call informing him that Epstein “belonged to the intelligence services” and that he should not proceed further. This was followed by an exceptional non-prosecution agreement.
The agreement granted Epstein federal immunity, extended to his associates. Victims were excluded from the proceedings. Instead of a significant prison sentence, Epstein served 13 months under privileged conditions. The case did not conclude with a standard plea bargain or charge reduction, but with what amounted to a “protective order.” The legal mechanisms effectively provided institutional protection. This leads Dias to conclude: “This was not a conspiracy theory. It was worse: a documented reality in which Epstein operated under the protection of intelligence structures, while institutions deliberately turned a blind eye.”
Early legal actions against Epstein—including the 1996 complaints by Maria and Annie Farmer and the 2005 investigation led by Joe Recarey—were systematically obstructed. Epstein, with the protection of Ghislaine Maxwell and a network of powerful allies including Les Wexner (an American billionaire known for brands such as Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works and for his donations to Jewish organizations), managed to evade justice for decades. Institutions such as the FBI are alleged to have knowingly ignored the case.
The 2008 agreement was reached following negotiations between Acosta, Dershowitz, and Epstein’s legal team (Jay Lefkowitz, Kenneth Starr, and Gerald B. Lefcourt). It granted Epstein and his associates near-total legal protection, including immunity and secrecy from victims. According to FBI documents, such an unusual privilege suggests the involvement of intelligence services. Key investigator Joe Recarey died suddenly at the age of 50 before he could testify. The circumstances of his death were never investigated.
Un document explosif du FBI révèle le réseau Epstein
Le document le plus important du dossier Jeffrey Epstein n’est ni un e-mail, ni un registre de vols, ni un témoignage de victime. Il s’agit du rapport du FBI EFTA00090314 de 2020. Il repose sur une source humaine confidentielle (CHS) S-00099701. Cette source est jugée crédible dans le document FD-1023.[2]
Le CHS affirme qu’Epstein était un agent infiltré du Mossad. Proche d’Ehud Barak et formé comme espion sous ses ordres. Le réseau inclut également Alan Dershowitz, intermédiaire juridique et agent de débriefing de l’accord de 2008 – ultérieurement accusé par Virginia Giuffre (comme le prince Andrew), ainsi qu’Alex Acosta, procureur à qui il aurait été indiqué que la cible était « intouchable ». Ce réseau explique pourquoi Epstein n’a jamais été poursuivi pour espionnage, ainsi que pourquoi ses activités ont continué malgré l’accord, et enfin pourquoi sa mort a empêché toute vérification indépendante.
Le rapport révèle également une vision plus large. Masha Drokova (Day One Ventures) était le principal contact de Poutine dans le mouvement de jeunesse russe. Lors de ses échanges avec la source, elle n’a jamais évoqué la technologie ; elle s’est contentée de dire : « Vous connaissiez Epstein, n’est-ce pas ? » et de le féliciter. La source conclut que Day One Ventures est présente dans la Silicon Valley « pour voler de la technologie ».
Par ailleurs, le mouvement Chabad (Chabad-Lubavitch) – mouvement hassidique spirituel et mystique au sein du judaïsme orthodoxe, fondé par le Baal Shem Tov (Israel ben Eliezer) vers les années 1740 dans l’actuelle Ukraine – aurait tenté de « prendre le contrôle de la présidence de Trump ».
Jared Kushner a transféré des investissements russes. Il s’agissait d’un redéploiement des flux financiers d’investisseurs russes liés au réseau Epstein.
Leon Black (milliardaire américain associé à la société Constellis dans le secteur militaire et de la sécurité privée, impliquée dans des opérations et contrats en Irak et en Afghanistan) est accusé de trafic d’armes et d’êtres humains.
Elliott Broidy (condamné pour corruption et lobbying en faveur d’entités étrangères aux États-Unis, ayant, en tant que donateur politique et lobbyiste, offert un accès à de hauts responsables en échange d’avantages financiers, gracié par Trump en 2021) a payé plus d’un million de dollars pour faire taire une ancienne mannequin Playboy et a obtenu des sanctions américaines contre le Qatar au nom des Émirats arabes unis.
La diversité des informations issues d’une seule source témoigne de la qualité de l’informateur. Il disposait manifestement d’un accès direct à plusieurs niveaux de pouvoir. Chacune de ces informations nécessite une enquête approfondie. Réunies dans un seul document, elles montrent l’ampleur du réseau, qui dépasse Israël et s’étend à la Russie, aux Émirats arabes unis et à la présidence américaine.
From Mega Group to the FBI: Anatomy of the Epstein Network
Chronological summary:
– Key actor Leslie Wexner grants Jeffrey Epstein unlimited power of attorney over his finances. Wexner and Charles Bronfman found the Mega Group for around fifty influential Jewish entrepreneurs[3]. Richard Adrian becomes Wexner’s bodyguard.
– Maria Farmer becomes the first official complainant against Epstein and his network, which she describes as: “a network of Jewish supremacism and blackmail linked to the Mega Group.” Farmer worked for Epstein and Wexner before being sexually assaulted by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Her report to the FBI remained ignored for three years.
1986–1987 – Ronald Lauder (heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics empire, active in the Jewish community) serves as U.S. ambassador to Austria. During this period, a fake Austrian passport is issued under the name “Marius Robert Fortelni,” bearing Epstein’s photo and an address in Saudi Arabia.
– Wexner transfers ownership of a Manhattan mansion valued at $20 million to Epstein for a symbolic sum.
– Virginia Giuffre testifies that she was forced into sexual relations with Wexner.
– Released documents confirm Maria Farmer’s statements. Epstein’s bodyguard Richard Adrian contacts the FBI and states that Wexner is “Epstein’s best friend” and that he saw “young girls” at Epstein’s residence in Palm Beach. He believed they were family members.
– Whitney Webb, American investigative journalist, publishes a two-volume investigation One Nation Under Blackmail, in which she documents how influence operations and intelligence activities linked to the Mega Group were connected to powerful individuals in the United States.
February 2026 – Ro Khanna, U.S. Democratic congressman from California—known for technology reforms, labor rights, and oversight of powerful financial networks—reveals that the FBI designated Wexner as an unindicted co-suspect in the Epstein case. Wexner was questioned before the House Oversight Committee; Democrats state that he refused to disclose the extent of Epstein’s alleged multi-million-dollar diversions.
Epstein files and documents mention the following names: Leslie Wexner – 1,126 documents, designated as “FBI co-suspect”; Ronald Lauder – 271 documents, presented as a member of the Mega Group; Edgar Bronfman – 31 documents, described as one of Epstein’s early clients at Bear Stearns.
Bear Stearns was an American investment bank used by Epstein to manage the wealth and financial transactions of his wealthy and influential clients. The bank collapsed in 2008 during the financial crisis due to its heavy exposure to high-risk mortgage-backed securities. It was later acquired by JPMorgan Chase with government support at a subsidized price. This collapse is considered one of the major triggers of global financial instability.
The documents also indicate that Bronfman’s daughter, Claire Bronfman, later co-founded NXIVM—a controversial organization linked to allegations of sex trafficking, abuse, and forced branding of women.
Epstein in the Global Elite Network
Jeffrey Epstein was a member of the Trilateral Commission. This organization, since its creation in 1973, was partly shaped by Henry Kissinger. It was founded by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Document EFTA01082667 presents the official list of members of the North American group for the year 2008. Epstein’s name appears there alongside some of the most influential figures in global politics and finance. These include Kissinger (lifetime advisor), Lawrence Summers, Jamie Dimon, and Richard Holbrooke.
The documents also confirm his membership in the Council on Foreign Relations (EFTA00725190). This organization is known for its confidential meetings and private briefings with heads of state. Epstein did not occupy a peripheral role within it. He participated in groups where information is exchanged and global strategies are shaped.
The link with Kissinger Associates reveals the extent of Epstein’s access to information. This firm is not a simple consulting agency. Founded in 1982, it charges more than $500,000 per year for geopolitical advisory services to multinational corporations and governments.
Epstein possessed internal documents on Kissinger Associates’ activities in China, including profit-sharing structures. This suggests that he was not merely a passive client. He was part of this ecosystem.
Today, a key question remains: what information did Epstein provide in exchange for such privileged access?
The Zorro Ranch: Epstein’s Most Dangerous Project
Jeffrey Epstein was fascinated by transhumanism. The New York Times had already documented his fascination with genetic engineering and artificial intelligence as means of “enhancing” humanity (EFTA00069900). Documents show that this did not remain at the level of a mere idea.
An email from neuroscientist Mark Tramo (451 documents) mentions “the premature infants we are raising.” Epstein concluded agreements with California Cryobank and ordered 30 23andMe kits (home DNA analysis kits) under the false name “Sultan Binsulayem,” linked to DP World—a port and logistics operator based in the United Arab Emirates (3,034 documents).
The FBI SECRET//NOFORN report of December 2017 (EFTA01683874) confirms that Epstein, at his New Mexico ranch, “lured and filmed minors.” There are also allegations of a buried baby and bodies of young girls. However, the Zorro Ranch was never searched.
The New York Times reveals that Epstein “was planning a reproduction program based on his own DNA.” The ranch was intended to become a women’s insemination center, with laboratory contracts and false identities. He presented his offspring as “perfect” and his genetic heritage as “superior.”
Geneticist George Church (1,241 documents) also appears in the files. He discussed life extension with Epstein. In 2015, Epstein asked him for the document Rejuvenate (EFTA00353066)—a set of research on anti-aging technologies. Document EFTA00715319 mentions a proposal to involve Max More, executive director of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, one of the theorists of contemporary transhumanism. According to the NYT, Epstein reportedly wanted the cryogenic preservation of his own head and genitals.
The symbolism was equally dark: for the ranch, he ordered a reproduction of Rubens’ Massacre of the Innocents(EFTA02319842).
It was only in 2024 that New Mexico created a truth commission. The FBI—which, after Epstein’s death in 2019, searched his properties in New York and Little Saint James—never searched Zorro Ranch, despite having information from report EFTA01683874. This absence of investigation remains one of the main open issues in the Epstein case.
Another question, no less intriguing, concerns offspring. Epstein officially had no children, but indications suggest otherwise. The British Times reports that a diary kept by a victim describes giving birth in 2002 to Epstein’s daughter, who was immediately taken away by Ghislaine Maxwell.
Two emails from Sarah Ferguson dated 2011 also mention a child of Epstein. In the first, the Duchess congratulates him on the birth of a son:
“I hear from the Duke that you have had a boy… I am always there for you with love and friendship and congratulations on your baby boy. Sarah xx.”
Eight minutes later follows a second message, more bitter:
“You have disappeared. I did not even know you were having a child. It is very clear to me that you were only my friend in order to gain access to Andrew. And that deeply hurts me.”
These messages testify to Epstein’s remarkable ability to exert influence over others.
FSB, FOIA and “Royal Flush”: The Russian Trace in Jeffrey Epstein’s Network
Sergueï Belyakov graduated from the FSB Academy in 1999 (TASS). He appears in 33 documents, and Epstein described him in 2015 as “his very good friend” in an email addressed to Peter Thiel.
According to FOIA documents, Belyakov was a key intermediary in Epstein’s relations with Russia. He organized meetings between Epstein and Russian financial officials, including Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak and Central Bank Vice President Simanovski. He also facilitated meetings with other high-level Russian contacts, enabling access and information exchange.
He attracted FBI attention and quickly became the subject of a counterintelligence operation called “Royal Flush,” a classified operation involving surveillance, document collection, and network analysis to assess risks of international influence and espionage.
The entity Bella Klein was another key figure in the Russian branch of the network. A senior financial manager, she appears in more than 13,470 documents. She coordinated financial flows, fund management, and network resources. She was also a link to Karyna Shuliak, Epstein’s last girlfriend from Belarus (34,249 documents). This is confirmed by an email containing the comment “KGB at work” received by Shuliak (EFTA00572952).
The entity “V” or “Vic” appears in more than 120 documents. She ran an operation within Elite Retail in Paris, likely an operational hub for model recruitment and management. She had access to a “complete database of Russian models” and played a key logistical role, particularly in recruiting models and contacting young women from Russia and Eastern Europe.
The inflow of women from Eastern Europe was carefully organized. Lesley Groff coordinated flights from Kyiv and Odessa to Paris. Data concerning young women (Sofiia Girich – 13 documents, Olha Zasiadko – 15 documents, Kateryna Pryshchepa – AMEX data), as well as the period (2018–2019), coincides with the peak of the conflict in eastern Ukraine, when many young Ukrainian women were in a difficult economic situation.
The FBI SECRET//NOFORN report of December 2017 (EFTA01683874) suggests a link between Putin and Epstein. It states that “Epstein managed the fortunes of Putin and Mugabe.” This claim has not been independently verified.
The reason for this tolerance likely lies in the image projected by the Epstein network in Russia: a mysterious, strategically organized structure with potential leverage, parallel to political-financial networks and operating with methods similar to those of the KGB.
In this sense, document HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020153 describes the KGB MICE methodology (Money, Ideology, Compromise, Exploitation) and links it to the Epstein network. The network replicates all four categories: billionaire management, links to transhumanist science, sexual blackmail, and pressure on compromised individuals. Russian circles appear to have clearly identified the operational value of this methodology. Belyakov acted as a bridge to Russian financial structures, while the “Royal Flush” operation confirmed that U.S. services considered the Russian component a potential instrument of influence.
After Epstein’s death in 2019, media speculation and geopolitical analyses linked to Russian kompromat practices have suggested that the FSB might hold “the full list of Epstein’s clients.” However, it has not been confirmed that such a list exists or that it is in Russian possession.
