The Disturbing Facts The Epstein Files Revealed

In a decade that’s already been marked by frequent, major vindications for the alleged “conspiracy theorists” among us, Friday’s Epstein Files document dump by the DOJ seemed relatively unsurprising at first. Here, we were told, was yet more evidence that a handful of rich and powerful elites are conspiring behind closed-doors, hosting degenerate parties, and abusing victims. And of course, following the document dump, there were the usual political cheap shots, which were mostly divorced from any semblance of reality.

On “Saturday Night Live,” which long ago abandoned the pretense of being a comedy show, there was an awkward and painfully on-the-nose joke by Pete Davidson implying that the Trump administration had released the latest Epstein Files to distract everyone from the ICE shootings in Minneapolis — even though the ICE deployments in Minneapolis, as the “SNL” sketch helpfully pointed out, were supposedly intended to distract from the Epstein Files in the first place. In short, the message was that, for the typical observer, this latest document dump contained nothing new. We’re told this is all a political distraction that tells us nothing we didn’t already know.

But the Epstein Files that were released on Friday are far more consequential than you’re being told. First, the documents demonstrate that the size and scope of Epstein’s network were much larger than we believed. And these people are, in some ways, more demented than we realized. Second, it gives us a glimpse into how these people speak to each other, which is revealing for a number of reasons that I’ll explain. And third, there’s new evidence about how blackmail operations may have been conducted in Epstein’s network, as well as how Epstein’s associates pushed the cult of transgenderism on toddlers.

In short, Friday’s release of the latest Epstein Files vindicates a new wave of alleged “conspiracy theories” that, a week ago, would’ve been dismissed as unhinged, “antisemitic,” or far-fetched.

So today I’m going to go through what I’ve seen in these files and give you an honest summary and analysis of it.

But before we dive into these emails and documents, I need to point out a few things. First of all, a lot of fake emails are circulating. So if you see an email and you’re not sure if it’s authentic, it’s very easy to go on the DOJ’s website, find their Epstein database, search the words in the email, and see if it’s legitimate.

Secondly, many emails that are actually contained in the database are being wildly misrepresented. That’s because the database contains every random accusation from every schizophrenic or otherwise mentally unwell individual who ever emailed Epstein, or who was ever discussed by FBI agents.

So take this email for example:

It involves FBI agents discussing an interview with a man who described all kinds of allegations against Epstein, including the claim that the man was the victim of a, “ritualistic sacrifice in which his feet were cut with a scimitar but left no scarring.” The man also told agents he was sexually assaulted by George H.W. Bush. In an email, one of the agents noted that the man was “unemployed and resides with his mother and her unemployed morbidly obese boyfriend,” had ingested “hallucinogenic mushrooms,” seemed “emotionally unbalanced,” and offered no supporting evidence whatsoever. The agent, naturally, recommended that the bureau drop the case entirely.

With that in mind, here’s how a viral post on X — with more than 10 million views and 100,000 “likes” — describes that email.

The Epstein files reveal horrifying events involving the American elite. It is alleged that George H. W. Bush raped a male victim, and that the same victim was also subjected to a ritual sacrifice in which his feet were cut off with a sword. The victim says he witnessed a child being torn apart and having their intestines pulled out aboard a yacht. He says the people on the yacht ate the intestinal waste.

So they strip out the context — the fact that we’re talking about the rantings of a man who’s clearly unwell — and present it as fact-based testimony from a credible witness. That’s how a lot of these viral posts work. There’s another one that claims Trump buried children under his golf course. And because of posts like this, some conservatives have suggested that the administration shouldn’t have released these files at all.

I understand that argument but the problem is that, first of all, Trump promised to release the files and then did the infamous binder stunt. To promise to release the files and then no release them would be a problem. But promising to release them and then pretending to release them would be even worse. These documents had to come out. There was no other way at this point. And second, more to the point, it cannot possibly be overstated the extent to which all public trust in our institutions and ruling powers has been demolished in a post Covid, post Floyd, post “gender affirmation” world. Full transparency is the only way forward, even with its attending complications, which I certainly admit are numerous.

Yes, one of those complications is that you’re going to get a lot of false engagement bait. You’ll get posts that are intended to get views and generate revenue. But it’s also likely that some of these posts are intended to distract from the fact that, if you pay attention, there is new information in the Friday release of the Epstein files. And it’s not simply new information — it’s important.

We’ll begin with a highly unusual series of emails from December of 2018, in which Ehud Barak (the former prime minister of Israel), discussed a meeting with “Jabor Al Thani,” a member of the Qatari royal family.

Epstein is CC’d on the communications, and Barak eventually asked Epstein, “Hi Jeff, are you going to be in London on Thursday?” Epstein responds, “Unfortunately, not. You should make clear that I don’t work for mossad.” He adds a smiley face to the end of that email. 

And then Ehud Barak writes back, “you or I?” And then Epstein confirms that he’s talking about himself, adding a smiley face. (Again, not an emoji, but an old school smiley face — literally, a colon and a close-parenthesis). And then Barak gives the thumbs up.

For context — because context is very important here — Jeffrey Epstein, at this point, was a convicted sex offender. He pleaded guilty several years earlier, in very public circumstances, to procuring a child for prostitution. And despite that history, the former prime minister of Israel — who was planning a political comeback at the time, while also running an Israeli emergency management startup called Carbyne — was going out of his way to invite Epstein to this highly sensitive meeting with an important foreign official. This is a meeting that had personal ramifications for Barak’s business (which Epstein was an investor in), as well as the state of Israel at large. And in the meantime, they were chatting with each other about how to reassure Jabor Al Thani that Epstein definitely, 100%, absolutely wasn’t working for Israel’s intelligence agency in any way, shape or form.

You could say, “Well, Epstein was just joking around.” That’s what the smiley faces are for. But those smiley faces, in the context of a conversation between a 60-year-old man and a 70-something-year-old man, look a lot like plausible deniability. We already know from previous reporting by the Wall Street Journal that, according to Epstein’s private calendar, Epstein met with one of Barack Obama’s top lawyers at the White House, Kathryn Ruemmler, dozens of times. Ruemmler was very close to Epstein — she was a back-up executor on his will — and she also sent the following email to him in January of 2015.

“John Brennan gave me the CIA Agency Medal (the CIA’s highest award) this morning. How cool is that?” So here we have a top Obama official — who was in private practice at the time — running to Jeffrey Epstein for validation, fishing for compliments, about winning the highest award offered by the CIA. She sent this email within hours of winning the award, as Mike Benz has reported. And that suggests, very strongly, that Epstein had something to do with her receiving that award.

Epstein also met with William Burns, who later became CIA Director (He was a high-ranking official at the State Department when he met with Epstein). So Burns met with a convicted sex offender and pedophile in Manhattan, then received a promotion to CIA Director. 

Furthermore, as Benz reported, Epstein (using a law firm so that he remained anonymous) sent an FOIA request to the CIA in 1999 to obtain all of their records that might, “reflect an open or otherwise acknowledged Agency affiliation” between himself and the CIA. 

In 2011, more than a decade later, Epstein sent a similar request to the CIA. We don’t have any real information as to the “exact CIA records Epstein requested about himself in 1999,” nor what dates he included in the FOIA. The CIA has refused to release this information, more than 25 years later. For Benz, that’s an indication that Epstein had some ties to the CIA going back a very long time — possibly as far back as the early 1980s, when Epstein was known to have a fake Saudi passport.

And then of course, there was the reporting from The Daily Beast that Alex Acosta — the US Attorney who gave Epstein his lenient plea deal — told Trump administration officials that Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” And then, when he was asked about those comments during a press conference, Acosta dodged. It was painfully obvious he was hiding something.

We’ve played this before, but it’s worth repeating. 

Watch:

So, suffice it to say, Epstein’s “jokes” with Ehud Barak about working for Mossad (which is obviously aligned with the CIA) don’t actually seem like jokes at all. 

Many more emails in this latest document dump raise additional questions on this front. There’s the question of why, in September of 2015, Sultan Bin Sulayem of Dubai sent an email to Jeffrey Epstein confirming a meeting with former Russian President (who was Russian prime minister at the time) Dmitry Medvedev. 

“Just got this from Trutnev office. ‘Dear Mr. Sultan tomorrow i will receive the photos. And meeting with prime minister Medvedev is confirmed.’ Best regards Yuri.”

More than a decade earlier, in may of 2013, Epstein sent this message to Ehud Barak.

“Putin asked that i meet him in st petersburg the same time as his economic conference I told him no, . If he wants to meet he will need to set aside real time and privacy, lets see what happens.”

To be clear about this, here we have a convicted sex offender playing “hard to get” with the President of Russia. He’s demanding that Putin go out of his way to meet with him. And based on his other meetings with high-level officials in Russia, it seems he got exactly what he wanted.

It can’t be overstated how extraordinary it is that, despite his reputation and his crimes, which he admitted to, Epstein had a connection with pretty much every power player — and future power player — in American politics.

Here’s a 2009 email from Epstein’s publicist to Epstein, for example.

“Just left Ghislaine’s townhouse…after party for film. Bill Clinton and Jeff Bezos were there… director Mira Nair….etc. Film received tepid reaction although women like it much more… Studio went for free party from store and windows for a month…. Going to be in Wall Street 2 tomorrow ….more to come. xoxo Peg.”

The “director Mira Nair” who’s mentioned in that email is the mother of Zohran Mamdani — who supposedly, is from nowheresville, Uganda, and “came out of nowhere” to become the mayor of our largest and most important city. This, again, is perhaps the most important takeaway from the Epstein Files. You may have already know this, but it has now been illustrated in very stark colors: there is an incestuous circle of elites — an exclusive club that you aren’t in — and this club not only includes but produces, anoints, the powerful people who run our country, and the world. That’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s just how things actually work.

Epstein also had several email communications with Elon Musk. In September of 2013, Elon and Epstein had this exchange.

Epstein writes, “any plans for ny . the opening of the general assembly has many interesting people coming to the house.” Elon responds, “I run and lead product design/engineering for two complicated companies. Moreover, SpaceX is about to launch what is arguably the most advanced rocket in history. Flying to NY to see UN diplomats do nothing would be an unwise use of time.” 

And then Epstein replies, “do you think i am retarded, . ? just kidding , there is no one over 25 and all very cute.”

So it appears that Elon rejected Epstein’s attempts to involve him in his operation, which is obviously a tremendous credit to Elon. It should also be noted that Elon obviously knew he had these email exchanges with Epstein, and knew that they would be used to smear him, and yet he forcefully called for he release of the files anyway. That is even more credit to him, even if no one on the left will give him credit for it. But the fact remains that Epstein had connections and contacts everywhere. And it wasn’t just foreign officials and tech executives he was communicating with.

Epstein was coordinating meetings with high-level politicians in the United States as well. This email thread is from January of 2018.

A lawyer with a law firm (that has offices in the U.S. Virgin Islands and New York) writes, “We have to help Stacey get a meeting with Schumer. Any thoughts?.” The reply from Epstein: ” should not be a problem need to know the reason and subject.”

Presumably, in that context, “Schumer” refers to the top Democrat in the Senate, who received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Epstein.

There’s also this email from 2013.

It’s from Epstein and reads, “I have dinner with Schumer tonight.” Again, seems pretty straightforward. And it demands an immediate explanation from Chuck Schumer, who’s been extremely loud — since Trump’s election — about demanding the release of the Epstein Files. Like every Democrat, he claims to care so much about the issue, but he never mentioned it until Trump took office. And now that his name appears in the Epstein files themselves, he’s not saying a word about it.

To be clear, this isn’t a partisan issue. The Epstein files reveal that Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was interacting with Epstein — and planning to visit his island — as recently as December of 2012.

Lutnick wrote, “Hi Jeff, We are landing in St. Thomas early Saturday afternoon and planning to head over to St. Bart’s/Anguilla on Monday at some point. Where are you located (what is exact location for my captain)?” Lutnick follows up to confirm lunch plans with Epstein.

And that’s an issue because Lutnick had previously said that he took one look at Epstein in 2005 and walked out the door, vowing never to interact with him again.

Watch:

Trump’s secretary of commerce, Howard Lutnick, said recently in an interview that a 2005 visit to Jeffrey Epstein’s home left him so revolted that he cut ties with Epstein.

Emails released today tell a different story, showing Lutnick remained in contact for years afterward,… pic.twitter.com/TryAhDcT1h

There are other recognizable names in conservative circles who have popped up as well.

In conversations with Steve Bannon when he was in the Trump White House, for example, Epstein said he “needed passport details” for Bannon’s entourage. For his part, Bannon appeared to enjoy showing off for Epstein. He wrote in one text,  “Getting briefed by house intel now on IG and spygate.”

Epstein also praised Bannon’s performance in an interview on ABC, saying he looked like he was casting a spell on the anchor. In that context, Epstein writes, “You’re an honorary jew anyway,” to which Bannon responds, “Honored. I will drop the ‘Christian’ in Christian Zionist.’”

But Bannon didn’t last long in his perch in the Trump administration. In April of 2017 he was removed from the National Security Council, shortly before he was booted from the White House entirely. And that led to this email.

It’s from Michael Wolff in 2017. It’s in response to Epstein sending a Bloomberg article about Bannon’s termination: 

“War between the Jews and the non Jews. Jews presently winning.”

By itself, you might think, “Well, that’s some odd one-off humor.” But actually,  there was nothing one-off about this. Throughout this latest document dump, it becomes abundantly clear that Epstein harbored a deep disdain for Christians, to a pathological degree. And many of his power associates shared that disdain (and some of his Christian associates went along with it). That’s not a conspiracy theory, or antisemitism or Naziism, or anything like that. It’s just true.

We could spend the next hour going through all of the emails in which Epstein and his contacts openly mock and demean Christians using various slurs. He also expresses an overt preference for Jewish people, many times, without mincing words. For logistical reasons, we’ll settle for just a few examples. Here’s a 2015 email in which Epstein advises the banker Ariane De Rothschild on how to build an advisory board.

He writes: “no diplomats. etc. not african. serious people , with a strong finance operations reputation. NOT charity, preferable some jews.”

Then there’s this email from someone named Mark Fisher to Epstein in March of 2010.

“Thought about our conversation re: meditation. Actually, its not that hard. Why? A Jewish soul has a very different structure, different ingredients/components, relates to its higher levels differently, has different higher levels, relates to itself and other people in a different manner than a non jewish soul.”

So Jewish souls have a “different structure,” evidently. Let’s continue. Here’s maybe the most quotable one.

It begins with Epstein writing to his assistant in August of 2010, “dubin , dershowitz zuckerman, all said yes to sept 18 yom kippur REDEMPTION, sounds like a wrestling event. I need you to oversee.”

And then the assistant responds, “Is it going to be 100% Jew night? Even Perelman on Yum Yum has some goyum. I am getting my “Media Elite” list fed exed out for Saturday and will email some names. What about Charlie Rose. Love him. What about Jane Fonda? My new best friend. Nothing like an ex-Jew hater with a Jewish boyfriend to mix it up.”

Epstein then responds with, “No, goyim in abundance- jpmorgan execs brilliant wasps.”

As a side note, one thing you notice when you read these emails is that Epstein was apparently only semi-literate, and same goes for many of the billionaires he consorted with. That was one surprising revelation. That our elites all write at a third grade level. Anyway, yes, Epstein wrote that there will be “goyim in abundance.” In case you’re not familiar, in this context, “goyim” is a slur directed at non-Jews to imply that they’re inferior. Along with similar slurs, it appears many, many times in these files.

Here’s another example. This is from an email Epstein sent in 2012 to someone named Josh.

“you asked me to violate a basic conviction of mine and have an abortion. your mother said it would be in your best interest if i did. you now asked why you should be ashamed?.. now that it is the high holy days .. its simple you behaved just like the GOYIM you do not respect. – after the holiday , I will be willing to share a meal.. no sex. none. I love you, my jewish studies said that at 13 you should become a man. its not too late.”

Again, there are many more emails like this. There’s discussions about how Jews became so wealthy — Epstein writes that they were stingy, unlike Arabs who spent all of their money, which forced the Arabs to borrow money from the Jews. There are also messages like, “the goyim know how to have a good time,” and so on.

For good measure, in 2017, former Harvard President Larry Summers asked Epstein for advice on tax breaks in the new law that was being passed by Congress.

Epstein responded, “I don’t know of any. They did a great job of closing most. At least for the goyim.” And Summers responds with “oh come on.” So he was openly talking like this, to pretty much everyone. And yet he was joined at the hip with some of the most powerful people in the world.

Put simply, throughout most of the history of this country, if you claimed that powerful Jewish billionaires and influential figures were constantly saying stuff like this to one another behind closed doors, as a matter of habit, you’d be accused of being a raging antisemite. You’d be banned from every social media platform. No one would ever hire you. There would be segments on CBS about what an awful person you were. And then, one day, the DOJ dumps a million files, where “goys” and “goyim” are being trashed all over the place, by the single most well-connected man to ever walk the face of the Earth, along with his associates.

This is bigotry and deserves to be called out. If Epstein were a rich and powerful Christian, speaking to other Christians in this demeaning way about Jews, we can bet that it would be noted and condemned. The same should happen in the reverse.

Consider the outrage over an anti-semitic group chant involving random nobodies with no power or influence. If bigoted language and demeaning jokes deserved to be called out in that case, then they certainly deserve to be called out when used by some of the most powerful human beings on the face of the planet.

But it gets worse when you look at what exactly some of these people were discussing amongst themselves. Here’s an email from the billionaire Tom Pritzker to Epstein in June of 2011, when Pritzker’s company was looking to invest in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“I am in a remote valley of Afghanistan (its my birthday wish) with Boys with Toys. Spent time w Patraeus yesterday and he loaned me a chopper (actually two with one as a back up). Can’t call till tomorrow.”

So officially, Pritzker was exploring investment opportunities. Unofficially, his birthday wish was being granted. He was fetishizing a warzone where many people — including Americans — were dying. He was hanging out with “Boys with Toys.” The U.S. commander of all forces in Afghanistan “loaned him a chopper” — actually two choppers — at taxpayer expense.

Will anyone be investigated for that? Will anyone go to prison? Of course not. And again, it gets worse. They weren’t just attacking Christians, or planning degenerate parties that may (or may not) have been legal, or getting off to the prospect of dead men, women and children in Afghanistan. They were also talking about pushing one of the most destructive, anti-science, anti-human, Satanic ideas ever invented by mankind. I’m referring of course to transgenderism — particularly the idea that children, against their will, can be converted to another gender as toddlers.

There’s this email from Robert Trivers to Epstein, dated December 17th of 2018. As you might remember, this is right around the time that the trans insanity took hold in this country. Trivers is described as “one of most influential evolutionary biologists of the 20th century.”

Here’s what he wrote to Epstein. I’m going to read as much of this as I can, even though the content is profane, so I’m going to have to censor it in parts.

“it is very simple—i will compare male to female with female to male. with greater molecular control over development we are increasingly capable of producing novel phenotypes— more feminine men, by blocking testosterone receptors (or castration) and, at the same time, increasing estrogen production—the one blocks male features, the second encourages female features more masculine women—heavy testosterone dosage—incredible external effects, heavily bearded men, you would never guess they had a female bone in their body first kind. male -> female is 4 times more frequent than female -> male. the first is attractive—he is a woman with a [penis], so that if your fantasy is to suck a man’s [penis], otherwise you are completely heterosexual, it would be much nicer if the rest of the organism is female, then you get the best of both worlds. so many transsexual women are very attractive and easily make money, which in turn they assert promotes their prostitution since they have to pay hefty fees for injections every week, but they are sexually happy,—once you have reached manhood, even castration does not prevent the sensation of organism. contrast the poor female to male versions, they are unhappy and lonely—they are men with mum-pums, the worst of both worlds. if you like smelly masculine men, you want that hard [penis] that comes with the show—you do not want one of nature’s more complex and variable structures, the pum-pum—that is an acquired taste—and not with a man there are 100’s of female Trans videos and websites, i have never seen a male one. BTW we are now pushing the intervention earlier—so you notice your 3-year old son has trans tendencies, so now you intervene with hormones—i would be frightened to do that—but who knows ?”

I’ll say that last part again: “BTW we are now pushing the intervention earlier—so you notice your 3-year old son has trans tendencies, so now you intervene with hormones—i would be frightened to do that—but who knows ?”

Yes, “who knows?” Who can possibly say whether it’s a good idea to inject a toddler with cross-sex hormones that will sterilize him for life, and permanently destroy his natural development as a human being? Robert Trivers wouldn’t want to do that, but if the goyim want to give it a try, who’s to say?

And then there’s this. It’s a 2016 email from Jess Ting, the “trans surgeon” who supposedly pioneered a new way to carve out fake female genitals in men. Ting is talking about research that, as far as I can tell, is unrelated to transgenderism. But then the conversation immediately pivots to trans-related funding.

“Hi Jeffrey, I hope you are well. I have 2 things to tell you about: 1) The research you supported with a $50,000 grant has borne fruit. We have submitted a paper for publication summarizing our results. … 2) I have been made surgical director of the brand new transgender surgery program at Mount Sinai. That’s right — Mount Sinai, being the progressive place that it is, saw an opportunity and need to take a leadership position in the area of Transgender Health and created the first full-spectrum academic program in the US focused on transgender surgery and care. This was such an interesting and innovative idea, that I thought it would make a good documentary. I pitched the idea to a well-known director and we have started scouting interviews and are in the process of making a fundraising trailer. If I could just be really forward, I was wondering if you would be interested in supporting this documentary? If so, the producer, director and I would love to come and give you the pitch in person. This is an exciting, groundbreaking project — both the center and the documentary — that will do good for the world. I hope you can be a part of it. Best regards, Jess Ting.”
