What about Epstein?

[nomadpete]

After all our angst about the crazy state of politics, I can't believe we haven't got a thread about Epstein. 

 

So, here goes....

 

I'll kick off with a link to a news mob I've never heard of.

My curiosity is particularly piqued by the fact that nobody has officially delved into Epstein's banking records. I did think that it would be an important part of analysing any (possibly) corrupt/criminal case?

[nomadpete]

Here's another one.

Not sure what to trust, is the echo chamber haunting my searches?

I DID this  a while ago for my own Interest. I also subscribe to the View He was Disposed of and didn't suicide as HE "knew too much" Gislaine is being treated like ROYALTY in Gaol. Funny that.  Nev

For those who find the article too long to read, here is a short AI summary

Very Short Summary (Bullet Points)

• Recent revelations—including documents from Epstein’s estate—show deeper ties between Epstein and powerful political figures such as Lord Peter Mandelson.

• A U.S. bill to release the Department of Justice’s Epstein files is unlikely to pass due to political obstruction.

• The article argues that enough public evidence already exists to understand Epstein’s operations without the files.

Epstein’s Network (Transnational Overview)

• UK:

  • Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell, had suspected Soviet intelligence ties and may have used social events for blackmail.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell may have procured girls even in the 1980s.

• Canada:

  • Epstein allegedly became involved with sex-trafficking circles in Montreal in the early 1970s.

• Europe:

  • Epstein was mentored by people in arms-trafficking circles, gaining access to elites and criminals.

• France:

  • Jean-Luc Brunel, a modelling agent and serial rapist, collaborated closely with Epstein and ran agencies used for trafficking.

• USA:

  • Epstein used Les Wexner’s companies as a front to recruit victims.

  • Mike Jeffries (Abercrombie) and Donald Trump are described as part of overlapping networks using modelling fronts to access young women.

  • Trump’s modelling agency was widely viewed as linked to trafficking.

• Russia:

  • Epstein interacted with Russian intelligence (FSB) via officer Sergei Belyakov.

  • He had relationships with women with intelligence backgrounds.

  • He engaged in blackmail involving Bill Gates and a Russian woman.

  • The St Petersburg Economic Forum is portrayed as a centre for prostitution and kompromat gathering.

Main Conclusion

• Epstein’s network was global, involving sex trafficking, organised crime, financial fraud, and espionage with substantial Russian links.

• The U.S. government cannot be relied upon to fully investigate it—particularly under political figures with ties to these networks.

• Europe should take a larger role, as the case reflects broader threats to Western democracy from illiberal leaders aligned with Russia.

Sadly for Australia, there has been a suggestion that Rudd had at some time a connection with Epstein. That might be a fake. I can't produce evidence of it.

[nomadpete]

I would be suspicious of that suspicion.

 

Was Rudd sufficiently important to be invited? 

[nomadpete]

 Trump & Epstein & Ghislain's dad were involved (businesswise) somehow with Russian connections.

Purely circumstantial, of course.

[onetrack]

Ghislaines father Robert, the media baron, was crooked to the core, a liar and thief, and he died in highly suspicious circumstances, just like Epstein. They all made a good crooked bunch together.

Maxwell and Trump behave identically, both abusive thugs, belittling people, liars to the core, and thieves to boot. Always trying to impress others with their "superiority" and levels of power.

There are plenty of people in Epstein's shady and corrupt world who would be very happy to see him and his files permanently buried. Aside from his own involvement Trump is probably worried what some of those people might do to him if they hold him responsible for their secrets being aired in public.

Now that is a believable motive for burying the story.

 

Trust me, it will be buried. 

I suspect there are some surprising people who will spend big to ensure public attention is directed elsewhere

Not sure, but fujitice journo Shane Dowling is running with it. https://kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2025/11/23/kevin-rudd-pays-lawyers-to-cover-up-his-jeffrey-epstein-link/
