Following his suspicious death in a New York prison during the summer of 2019, the world has been trying to get their collective head around the Jeffrey Epstein case. The convicted paedophile and wealthy financier has become a symbol of our conspiracy laden, endlessly confusing current era where the truth and the mainstream narrative often seem at odds with each other.
The words ‘Epstein didn’t kill himself’ can be found written across online comment sections and scrawled on graffitied walls across the globe, yet over a year after his unconvincing ‘suicide’ we are seemingly no closer to understanding the significance of his dubious demise. With his alleged accomplice in international child trafficking Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars in the same prison Epstein died in, there is a hope that the world may soon be given the answers to the questions surrounding his mysterious operation when the British heiress goes to trial in July 2021. There are also certainly immensely powerful men on both sides of the Atlantic terrified at what Maxwell may reveal about their own depraved activities in the company of Epstein.
Eric Weinstein, a popular political pundit and hedge fund manager, met Jeffrey Epstein in the early 2000s prior to his convictions for peadophilia charges in Florida. In an interview with the Rebel Wisdom Channel, Weinstein described Epstein as ‘an absolutely terrifying person to encounter’ who seemed like ‘somebody who had been constructed rather than something that had arisen organically within the financial community’. He said that the New Yorker ‘lived like he was Gatsby’ and like somebody ‘pretending to be a hedge fund manager’ without the usual mannerisms of Wall Street’s top professionals. Weinstein lists a number of fundamental questions that must be asked about his crimes and the potential blackmail operation he may have orchestrated, questions which he asserts have ‘no possible boring answer’.
The first is ‘Was Jeffrey Epstein ever known to be attached to any intelligence agency anywhere in the world?’ Among the countless theories circulating is that Epstein was an operative for a national or private spy operation tasked with sourcing blackmail material on the Western world’s rich and powerful. Interestingly, the charge of being a spy was also levelled at Ghislaine’s media mogul father Robert Maxwell who died under suspicious circumstances when he drowned off his yacht in 1991. Shortly after his death Ghislaine herself voiced her opinion he’d been murdered, and many believe the Hungarian-born British newspaper tycoon may have been a spy himself. Shortly after he died, Ghislaine moved to New York and met Epstein.
The second question is posed to such agencies, asking for ‘categorical denial that such techniques may never be used’. The techniques in reference are sexual blackmail, which many suspect Epstein may have been engaged in against his elite associates such as Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew. It would serve a foreign or private power well to have deeply incriminating material against members of America and Europe’s most important individuals. In the 1960s Israeli spy Eli Cohen famously carried out such an operation, plying senior officials from rival Syria’s political class and military with alcohol and prostitutes to gain leverage over them.
The third question Weinstein says must be answered is where Epstein’s fortune came from. He was a college dropout and high school maths teacher who seems to have accrued an enormous amount of wealth. Yet ‘nobody seems to have ever recorded a trade with Epstein’ according to Weinstein, adding later in the interview that ‘what we have is the missing fortune of Robert Maxwell and the unexplained fortune of Jeffrey Epstein’. He says that investigators must demand the release of trading records from the Epstein’s hedge fund office in Manhattan’s Villard House, to trace the source of his assets that were substantial enough to purchase lavish homes across the world as well as a private island.
The Epstein case is not over, with many victims demanding answers and compensation. From the Clintons to the Royals to some of the biggest names in business and entertainment, there are endless powerful people with the means and will to suppress the truth. It is the job of the media, the authorities, and the public to continue asking these questions until we can uncover the extent of Epstein’s crimes and those of his powerful friends. And perhaps his even more powerful masters...
