Tucker and Ian Carroll respond to the Epstein Files, Pizzagate & the Demonic Global Crime Network

February 7, 2026/4 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

I came away from watching this firmly believing that yes, there is a pedo ring of very well-connected, powerful, and usually wealthy people who used code words centered around pizza and grape soda for sex and perhaps much worse with children. (More than 850 references to pizza in the files, many implausibly related to actually eating pizza.)

One comes away from this believing that elites throughout the West are hopelessly compromised and complicit in unutterable evil. These people are blackmailable, very likely on behalf of Israel (with former Israeli premier and head of military intelligence Ehud Barak as Epstein’s handler). In the U.S., the corruption is in both parties and there has never been a real investigation or even questioning of the dozens of people involved. Parts of the investigations that have occurred are laughably amateurish (“Please send  us the hard drives from your computers”). This continues under Pam Bondi and Kash Patel. The media were complicit in the cover-up, framing Pizzagate as concocted by a bunch of conspiracy-prone nuts who claimed Hillary Clinton was behind it. (No one claimed this.) There is some indication that the released files were intentionally made difficult to analyze and there may well be false information thrown in to make the truth more difficult to find.

Prior to seeing this, I was unaware of Ian Carroll. Excellent on Israel and much else. Here’s one of his posts on X, replying to Elon Musk:

That AIPAC purchased the seats of about 90% or more of our current congress. JFK famously wanted them registered as a foreign agent right before he was shot and thus they changed their name and never registered. Why are we letting a foreign lobby buy off our congress? That Israel was obviously the state sponsor of Jefrey Epstein, whose handler was Ehud Barak, ex head of Israeli military intelligence, his funding was Les Wexner one of the world’s richest Zionist ‘philanthropists’ and he was accused by ex Mossad assets of being Mossad. Not to mention the Maxwell connection. (They had blackmail on Clinton, and many, many more.) He who holds the blackmail holds the leash- just ask J. Edgar Hoover.

That Israel is the only nation who has a defacto sanctioned, yet actually secret and unsanctioned nuclear program. A program that they stole from the United States- look into the Apollo affair, NUMEC, the Dimona nuclear facility. That jews, muslims, and christians lived side by side in peace in Palestine before the Rothschilds purchased the country from Britain during WW1 (see the Balfour declaration) and began their colonial program.

That the groups that founded Israel, Lehi, Irgun, and Hagannah, were declared terrorist organizations by Israel itself because their tactics were so deplorable (bombing British and Palestinian civilians) yet these three ‘paramilitary’ groups rebranded to form the IDF and their leadership became the leadership of Israel for the following thirty plus years.

That Israel is a foreign nation halfway across the world that has no business receiving my tax dollars. Why are we sending them billions of dollars of our tax money while our country burns, is overrun by illegal immigration, etc? We are told Israel is our ‘greatest ally’ so why would they have had a massive spy network targeting US government agencies leading up to sep 11, 2001 – see the Israeli art students DEA report for copious evidence of Israeli surveillance all across the continental US. This is an official government report that cites hundreds of incidents of observed Israeli surveillance teams documented by US government agents all across the continental US. And we still have received 0 answers why there were numerous fake Israeli moving companies positioned all across the eastern seaboard leading into September 11, 2001 and we have multiple eye witness reports, as well as hard photographic evidence that they knew the attacks were coming at least a day before they did and that they were positioned at a vantage point to photograph the attack up to a half hour before the first plane hit. Never got any answers- but you can read the official FBI reports about the incident. I’ve broken them down live on X before.

That’s just a small list of some of the best documented reasons why I, as an American, don’t want Israel receiving any of my tax dollars. And I didn’t even mention my obvious objections to the collective punishment, mass surveillance, forced starvation, bombing of refugee camps, brutal murdering of women and children that’s been going on in Gaza and the West Bank for years, decades- which you can watch in graphic detail right here on X. And that’s not to mention that somehow we let congress pass laws outlawing ‘antisemitic’ speech, despite our own first amendment. And we have anti-boycott legislation in multiple states, despite the fact that it’s perfectly legal to boycott American companies… just not Israeli ones.

Every content creator knows the fastest way to get demonetized, banned, and slandered is to be critical of Israel. I figured you would have realized this too after what they did to you and tried to do to X last year.

Transcript:

Tucker [00:00:00] So if you’re one of those people who’s been wondering when we’re gonna find out more about the Jeffrey Epstein story, who’s asking for disclosure, or at least wanting more disclosure, the dump of more than three million Epstein-related documents a few days ago by the US government is, well, pretty amazing, but also kind of a mixed blessing. Because in that cache of material is a lot of tantalizing information. There’s also a lot stuff that’s Maybe not true. There’s some stuff that seems kind of fantastical and it’s all there together. And you could ask yourself, well, why is that? Could this be an attempt to discredit the whole story by throwing nonsense in next to clearly true information? I mean, possibly. We can’t know. All we can do is assess what’s on the internet right now. So, included in that. Document dump or a bunch of emails to and from Jeffrey Epstein To and from people whose names we know and in a lot of cases people whose name have been redacted for whatever reason We can’t know why they were redact. We can guess There are text messages There are videos there are photographs. There are all kinds of attachments documents and there are also a lot of statements from anonymous people some named people that may or may not be true, including people who just called into some sort of tip line with information about Epstein, including statements from confidential human sources that may not have been taken under oath. Who knows? There’s just a lot of stuff there, and some of it seems kind of ridiculous. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. Some of it seem worth following up on. So how do we assess it? Well, that’s going to take an awfully long time. Most people don’t have the time. So we thought it would be interesting just to start with a very narrow slice of the material. And that’s the emails and texts that we can be pretty sure were sent from or to Jeffrey Epstein that pertained to the question of food, specifically pizza. And that caught our attention immediately. Pizza, people talking about pizza, adults talking about Pizza and pizza parties. Now, why did that catch our attention? Of course, because it evoked memories of this semi-forgotten story from about 10 years ago. Known as pizza gate. That was a wild conspiracy theory thought up by like the QAnon retards on the internet, the conspiracy theory about pizza gate, it sounded so absurd. And we’re about to get into much more detail about what that original theory was and what it may have actually meant in just a second. But it all began, as you may or may not remember, with another trove of information that hit the internet 10 years ago, WikiLeaks to be specific, released in 2016, a bunch of emails from John Podesta. High official in the Clinton and Obama White Houses, to and from a bunch of people that mentioned the word pizza or pizza parties in ways that seemed totally inorganic, just weird. In fact, in ways that suggested the term pizza was a code word for something else, something dark. And people on the internet speculated at great length that pizza was actually a synonym for or sex with children, ugh. And this was immediately dismissed, of course. And turns out there was probably a lot more there than a lot of us perceived at the time. And again, we’re gonna get into that in just a minute with Ian Carroll, who’s taking a very close look at this. But back to the most recent document dump, there were a lot references to pizza, like a lot, by some counts almost a thousand in these documents. Some of them probably were just to pizza. You don’t want to read too much into anything. Because you start imagining that you see things that aren’t actually there. But if you read, I don’t know, exchanges like this, let’s read one, see what you think. And we’re quoting. This is an email to Jeffrey Epstein, we’re told by DOJ, on April 6th, 2018. Quote, this is better than a Chinese cookie. Let’s go for pizza and grape soda again. No one can understand. Maybe, you know, there are a lot of fit adults like Jeffrey Epstein was pretty fit for a middle-aged man in 2018 who are regularly eating pizza and grape soda. Or maybe they’re talking about something else. Maybe this is code. So it’s worth considering anyway, right? But it was this exchange that made us think, whoa, wait a second, maybe the long-debunked conspiracy theory about Pizzagate wasn’t actually debunked, and maybe someone should take a closer look at this, given Epstein’s documented history of sexual abuse of young people. So here’s just one exchange. This is the one that stopped us in our tracks and made us think, oh, wow, we should know more. This is an exchange, according to these documents, we’re not alleging anything, but this is what’s on the internet from the DOJ. This is on the DOG website. This is in exchange between, and apparently a text exchange, between Jeffrey Epstein and, we think, a urologist, a physician who was treating him, apparently for erectile dysfunction, in the spring of 2018. And that physician’s name is Harry Fish. Again, we’re not alleging anything. We’re just gonna read what’s in this, okay? This is the doctor texting Jeffrey Epstein and I’m quoting, and they’re going back and forth on stuff. And he says, I’m back. Can call you in Stendra 100 at Zitmer. Now, Stendra is apparently an erectile dysfunction drug like Viagra, and he’s prescribing it to Jeffrey Epstine, who apparently. And Epstein writes, how many? And the doctor writes back. Have your call yet? You have refills available, call them back. Thanks, they wanted you to call. Epstein says to his, apparently to his urologist about the erectile dysfunction drugs. The doctor writes back, I just did. You can pick them up now. And here’s the line that inspired the segment you’re about to watch. After you use them, after you use the erectiles dysfunction drugs, after you take Viagra or its equivalent, We’re quoting. Wash your hands and let’s go get pizza and grape soda. Call me. So to all the people who dismissed out of hand this conspiracy theory about Pizzagate, oh, it had nothing to do with sex or kids or anything elicited at all, it wasn’t a code word. They was eating pizza. Here you have apparently Jeffrey Epstein’s urologist telling him that after you take your erectile dysfunction drug, after you become sexually potent again, Wash your hands and join me. For pizza and grape soda. Okay, now, you don’t have to be a total wacko to see the connection between a pizza and grapes soda and what sounds like some kind of illicit sex act, again, committed by a guy with a documented history of illicited sex acts with young people. So the obvious question is, what is this? The second obvious question is has anyone in federal law enforcement talked to the surviving member of this text exchange, which would be this guy, Harry Fish, whoever he is, apparently now a pharma executive, has anyone talked to him, not arrested or indicted him, but just like sat him down and said, hey, pizza and grape soda after taking an erectile dysfunction drug, what were you talking about? Speak slowly so we can understand into the microphone. Has that happened? This is not an attack on Donald Trump, obviously. It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s not an attempt to crush the Republican Party or influence the 2028 primary. It’s like a question that any American should be allowed to ask, which is are federal law enforcement officials doing their best to stop the sexual abuse of young people? And that’s kind of a baseline requirement, you would say in a civilized country, that federal law-enforcement make a good faith effort to stop people from molesting kids. And maybe this isn’t. Evidence of child molestation, but if it’s not, what is it? What is it and is anyone trying hard to find out what it is? We would hope someone does really soon and more broadly, what does this tell us about one of the most amazing stories of the last 10 years, 2016, the WikiLeaks dump of John Podesta’s Gmail account, there was a lot in there, a We were told the Russians did it. We ended up going to war with Russia over that, really. That’s when the whole Russia thing started, was in that story. But now that we’ve had 10 years and now more information, like, should we reassess what that really was? Ian Carroll has been thinking a lot about this. We think he’s meticulous and honest and careful and responsible. And so we’re really pleased, grateful in fact, to have him join us now. Ian Carroll, thanks so much for doing this. Yeah, thanks for having me on.

Ian Carroll [00:10:10] It’s a great intro because you ask so many pertinent questions.

Tucker [00:10:15] Well, yeah, I mean, look, there’s so much here and everybody who’s even paying a little bit of attention is getting text after text or pulling up acts and seeing all this wild stuff. And, you know, I want to be as responsible as I can and just be very honest. Like, I have no idea what a lot of this stuff is. And of course, partisanship and actual partisan battles are distorting the way people look at this. But I just wanted to pick one narrow slice, no pun intended, one slice of it. And try to figure out what we’re looking at here. So do you mind, I know that, and I’m a bad source for this because I didn’t take pizza gate as seriously, maybe I guess as I should have at the time. Can you, would you mind just giving a recap, a basic recap of what this pizza gate theory was and what we actually know about that story?

Ian Carroll [00:11:06] Yeah. It’s another one of those stories that was distorted by the apparent coverup or at least distorted by media’s response to it, which was very much a straw man style response in that these emails get dumped online full of everything that was in John Podesta’s and John Preston is a very powerful and connected man. And there was lots of stuff in those emails that was overtly concerning, politically concerning, like geopolitically concerning. But people on the internet then started to notice these strange pizza messages, messages about $40,000 worth of hot dogs or something like that being flown to DC for parties. Things that are just like, wait, wait a minute. You think about it for just a moment and you realize that that does not make sense. And overt references to children, too, like the these kids ages like seven, eight, and nine, or I forget the exact ages, will be in the pool and it’ll be heated and they will be there first. It’s like, wait, what are we talking about? So, people started to dig into what these weird emails were. And then they started to take into the fact that there’s certain pizza places referenced a lot, places where these people are going and hosting parties. They start to notice that this one pizza place in particular, Comet Ping Pong, which was a pizza place right in the heart of DC that was run by a very politically connected DC insider boyfriend to the founder or owner of Media Matters, a bunch of strange coincidences. They start to notice all these strange coincidences around this pizza shop. And they noticed that the Instagram of this pizza shop is full of very disturbing images of children. Things like children taped to tables, things like commenters talking about. Rape and sexual abuse, things like comments about kill rooms, and just so much disturbing imagery on a public Instagram account for a public pizza place that has photos of Obama having pizza at it. That in these emails, Podesta is talking about going and having lunch at this pizza place with all these very high level political people. And it started to get very strange. And… And so… Pizzagate itself spiraled out into a lot of questions and concerns and genuine investigation. But then it got distorted by the media response, which felt a lot like an immune response to a dangerous virus. And the media’s response then packaged up all of these very legitimate questions that never got answered. And it repackaged it as These crazy people on the internet think that Hillary Clinton personally is running. She’s the top. She is the head of a satanic pedophile cabal. And the whole thing is being run out of the basement of this pizza place. You see the absurdity of the sort of wrapper they put around this, which no one was claiming that. No one was claim that Hillary was running it. No one was saying that it was all out of this piece of pizza. They were just asking a lot of questions about very legitimate strange things. And then a very weird event happened. Where as the media is running this big smear campaign on these questions, a guy conveniently walks into that pizza place with an AR. Shoots the place up, doesn’t hit anybody, but manages to shoot a bullet straight through the hard drive that’s in the back room somehow, and gets arrested by police very publicly. They have a big photo shoot and he gives a couple of sound bites as they’re hauling him off that are something to the effect of, I was so convinced that it was all real and that it is all here and it’s just not, or something. And, and so it’s like. Wow, that is sure convenient that, good thing that Hillary Clinton is not personally running a giant satanic pedophile ring out of the basement of this pizzeria, which no one was alleging. And that was sort of became the wrap-up smear, as Nancy Pelosi has described to us in the past, how a wrap-ups smear works, where you wrap a problematic narrative up in a false representation of it, and then you have something crazy happen. Dangerous, crazy, objectionable happen around that. So then you can look at it and say, that’s dangerous. These conspiracy theories are dangerous. And anyone that engages in these conspiracy theories is dangerous. So we can censor them all off the internet because it’s been debunked. Don’t pay attention to the fact that the guy that owns the pizza place that has the images of children on their Instagram is the boyfriend of the guy who runs Media Matters who is one of the primary debunkers of these things. So. Those are the sorts of weird things that happened around the breaking of Pizzagate. And no one ever got any answers. No one in government ever took it seriously. And all those emails are still out there floating. They’re harder to find these days, but they’re still out. And the Instagram accounts were preserved in various formats online, archived. So you can still find a lot of the evidence, but it’s a lot harder to verify now because you do make a great point about the current email release, that a lot of bullshit gets mixed in, and a lot of stuff of questionable veracity gets mixed in. And so you have to be very careful about sourcing it all, especially 10 years down the line with something like Pizzagate.

Tucker [00:16:51] Mask is, do you know if it’s true, and I believe it is, but, so the man you just referred to who shot up Comet Pizza in Washington, which by the way, was like very close to my house where I raised my, I brought my children there because it was the pizza place in my neighborhood, which the whole thing is so weird. One of the reasons I didn’t take it seriously, I was like, oh yeah, that’s right. That’s on Connecticut Avenue. It’s too close to it. But the guy who shot it up, who seemed a little bit off, was just shot to death last month, right before these emails were released by police in North Carolina, who pulled him over, apparently on suspicion that he was a fugitive of some kind. I don’t think that he wasn’t. They said he reached for a gun and two cops killed him. That guy, that same guy, was killed right before the document released. Is that true?

Ian Carroll [00:17:43] I heard the same reporting. Obviously, at this point, I don’t really know what’s true. The whole world feels a little bit like The Matrix, but yes, I read the same recording and the nuance was not lost on me. But I don t know about you or anyone else, but I was in no way expecting to find pizza references in the Epstein files. Even though I had dug deeply into the Pizzagate stuff and even though we know that Jeffrey Epstein is. A human trafficker that is trafficking in the same things that PizzaGate would allege gets pizza references, I wasn’t expecting any pizza references. So it kind of blew my mind when suddenly there’s like 800 and something references to pizza in these emails. And especially you picked out some really, really great, like obvious ones at the opener there, where I mean like pizza and grape soda is a very overt. That I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone actually.

Tucker [00:18:46] As a pairing. Well, and also, I mean, these are people, well, first of all, in this exchange, apparently one guy’s a physician and the other is Jeffrey Epstein. And these are health-obsessed people. These are people who talk about getting blood transfusions just to extend their lives. And I know as an actual pizza fan that pizza is very unhealthy. I mean it’s been a lifelong struggle for me. Pizza and grape soda? Like these are the last things that people who care about their health eat. And these are, there’s a whole class of people who are, well, vain for one thing, but who are very focused on themselves and their physical health. And it just sort of, I don’t know, it’s a lot for me to believe that the one thing that Epstein’s friends and John Podesta’s friends have in common is they both have a steady diet of pizza and grape soda. Like I…

Ian Carroll [00:19:39] And not only do they have a steady diet of that, but they feel compelled to email each other about it with very weird verbiage. How many grown men email each other about getting pizza or about how tasty the pizza was or about how many slices you can slice a pizza up into or how many people will be at the pizza party? There’s another email in the current dump that is even stuck out to me because it has the word red hook in it, which at first I didn’t have the context and I was it seems suspicious, the words Red Hook, where someone was emailing asking if another guy can go to Red Hook for a pizza meal later. And then in looking into it, it turns out that Red Hook is the address of where Jeff Repstein’s Virgin Islands businesses are domiciled. It’s on the marina where you would leave in the boat to get to his island. And so then it gets, then it’s almost weirder. Someone was emailing, asking if… Another man can go to where Jeffrey Epstein’s business is domiciled for a pizza meal. There’s a lot of emails like that where people ask if they can use the apartment for a bit or if we can go get pizza for a few hours or for 30 minutes. That’s a pizza get reference as opposed to these emails. A lot of these times where they’re using food language in ways that does not square with how food actually gets eaten or talked about.

Tucker [00:21:08] Has anyone been asked about this? I mean, a lot of the people in these exchanges or apparently in these exchange are still alive. Some of them are prominent people still, including apparently the doctor in this exchange. Do you know if anyone has just been asked in a straightforward way, what was this?

Ian Carroll [00:21:31] Sense Pizzagate as far as I’m aware. I mean, to be fair, it’s all a little new. We’re all, we’re still in the first week here, but no, I don’t know of anyone being asked directly about any of these references or about any more overt stuff for that matter. The other very rich and powerful people that are caught with their pants down, so to speak here. A couple of people have issued apologies, a couple people have resigned from positions, But it’s entirely underwhelming. The official response, because it’s one thing for someone like you or me, journalists to go and ask questions, which is good and should be happening. But that’s not what should be happen, what should happening is law enforcement should be at their door knocking and asking these questions. We should have institutions that are there asking these question and many more. I mean, this is a particularly interesting and dark thread when you really unwind it. Obviously all the other threads of just like, hey, you went to the island. Hey, you said you never talked to him, but you did. So, and none of those questions are being asked. Um, they were being told that it’s all a Democrat hoax and that. Cash Patel would arrest someone if there was anyone to arrest, so it’s very underwhelming.

Tucker [00:22:49] Yeah, I mean, I always am suspicious of people who kind of jump ahead to things like arrest, conviction, incarceration, execution. Like, how about let’s just start with an interview? And, you know, I know a lot of people have been interviewed by the FBI. I know hundreds of people been interviewed. Well, exactly. But in the context of a federal investigation, it’s not crazy to call somebody. In fact, it’s common, it happens every single day, happened to Like every relative of every J6 prisoner got called in, sat down, can we come talk to you? I mean, that’s not weird. That’s the beginning of justice. That’s that’s the first step in finding out what happened, punishing the guilty, exonerating the innocent, is having these conversations in the context of a federal investigation, like an FBI interview. And I find it very strange that none of this has happened. And so when you see. People on television say, well, we don’t have the, you know, any evidence to indict someone, you know. A panel of grand jury, it’s like, I don’t know who talked about a grand jury. Why don’t you just ask questions of the, your the FBI. And if they’re not doing that, then you sort of wonder why. So let me just, okay, so here’s the bigger picture that you’re qualified to provide and I’m not. The implication of this and a lot of other things in this file dump is that there are basically religious rituals, sexual in nature, that’s very common through history. There were temple prostitutes for a reason. There are rituals involving children underway in the United States and the West, rich and powerful people, sexually abusing young people. That is very hard for a lot of people to believe or metabolize, but it feels like That’s not totally crazy, like that happens. Does that happen?

Ian Carroll [00:24:49] Absolutely. It’s so dark that it’s hard for average people, regular people that are just trying to live their lives to even approach it. You cannot put yourselves in the shoes of someone so depraved. And honestly, regular Americans can’t even put themselves in the shoes of a millionaire, let alone a billionaire, because they’re just trying to pay their bills and they can’t, because… The billionaires are doing certain, these billionaires, at least, are doing certain things that are messing everything up. So it’s so far removed from our regular experience that it’s hard to understand and believe, but it is, I mean, there’s been good evidence of elements of that in various kind of fringe investigations for a long time. And I don’t say fringe to mean they’re unreliable. I mean fringe to say that they just never get traction with the mainstream media for whatever reason. Right. But it’s right there in these emails and in these files. And it’s not entirely clear what all of it means, but there’s very overt references, there’s covert references, and there’s just mounting because people are still digging through them. These are millions of files and no effective way to sort through them the way that the DOJ put them out. And so the evidence is mounting more and more that we have everything in these files from people that were turning a blind eye. Which is also reprehensible. People that were adjacent and complicit, people that were directly complicit. People, that were straight up evil and disgusting. And then people that venture into the demonic or the truly depraved. And people that have been following this story have known for a long time that unfortunately that’s always been a part of it. And we’ve of. Most all human trafficking networks. The people that are doing human trafficking by their nature are some of the most depraved people on this planet and it’s an enormous industry and it’s not getting any smaller. And it’s tragic that it takes something so overt as this massive blackmail ring apparently blowing up in the middle of the United States government and across the entire world. And then trailing out in a like 10 year long cover up almost seven year long cover up for people to even like confront that this is happening, but it’s definitely happening. Um, not everyone in the files is, you know, participating in ritualistic sacrifices or anything like that. And there are fake things in the file that are yes, for whatever reason in there. Like for one example, one that went very viral is there’s an image in the Files of a cutting board. With chickens on it and like a black box censored out, but there’s like a foot sticking out and it’s obviously a baby’s foot. And the implication is that it’s a cutting board with some chickens and like baby and they’re going to carve it up and eat it. By my understanding, that is a fake image. It’s kind of hard to tell what’s real and what’s fake at this point. But there’s stuff like that in there that’s like… There’s just a lot of really messed up stuff in there, but there’s also a lot of people running away with a little tidbit for views or clicks or likes or whatever it is. And so it’s really important that people pump the brakes, slow down, and go to the original source files and look for people that are citing their sources on the files that they’re referencing. And when they make definitive claims, they show you the files that they are talking about. Because a lot of people are making claims that are actually objectively untrue or are based on a small morsel that has been blown up into a whole meal of great content, but not necessarily great journalism.

Tucker [00:28:45] I’m really almost overwhelmed by the coverup of it and by the people I know who participated in that. And I’ll just name two of them. One is Bill Barr, who’s the two-time attorney Republican attorney general, whose father, by the way, started Jeffrey Epstein’s career. His father, Donald Barr, was a former OSS CIA officer. In the files, I should also say that Jeffrey Epsteine describes Bill Barr the former AG. As quote CIA Jeffrey Epstein privately says this guy’s CIA. Covered up Epstein’s murder, clearly murdered, in federal detention, Barr said out loud we got to make sure everyone thinks this is a suicide. Why isn’t he being asked about this? And the second is Mike Pompeo. And Mike Pompea was caught plotting to murder Julian Assange, the head of WikiLeaks. Why is this significant? Well, because it was WikiLeak’s that made that first tranche of emails available to the public. And it was Julian Assanche who said on camera, basically said, my source, he didn’t say this. He didn’t my source but he heavily suggested in an interview with Dutch television, my source was Seth Rich. The DNC staffer who was found murdered on the street in Washington in a so-called robbery where nothing was taken from him. That investigation was taken over by the FBI. What? Why? And Assange goes on Dutch television and says, I can’t see who my sources are, but they face great risks. You couldn’t pull up the interview right now and look at it. And then he points to Seth Rich. And the interviewer is like, wait, are you saying Seth Rich was murdered for this? And Assange is like look, I cant tell you who my source are, but my sources take great risks, Seth Rich just got murdered. I mean, that couldn’t be clearer, right? It was right after that, that Julian Assange was incarcerated, first in an embassy in London, and then in Belmarsh prison, never charged with a crime. And that was pushed by CIA and Mike Pompeo. And it’s like, wait a second, shouldn’t someone ask Mike Pompeio? Like, what is this? What is this, these are real allegations, they’re credible allegations, and rather than follow up, You’re punishing the guy who brought them to light? Tell us how that works, Mike Pompeo. Is it, I mean, Mike, Pompeo is like wandering free and no one asks him about this. Like what is going on?

Ian Carroll [00:31:08] Ian Carroll. Every time I talk about this story, every aspect of the story from Pizzagate to Epstein, everything in between, I always have to try not to get angry because when you think about, especially for me, the coverup, it makes me so furious how regular Americans are going to jail over smoking a joint or going to jail, over paying taxes that are getting sent overseas anyways. Or going to jail over a parking ticket they can’t afford, whatever it is, this madness in this country where we are law-fared to death, but these obvious criminals and these people that we at least have obvious questions for are just walking free. And you bring up two really great points that, I mean, in both cases, I think it’s obvious that those actions are being taken on behalf of whatever criminal organizations or happenings are being exposed, for example, in those emails. Dumps that Seth Rich probably leaked, because it wasn’t just pizza gate stuff. It was also all sorts of Benghazi stuff, all sorts Hillary Clinton stuff, and all sorts other really serious stuff that also was never asked of the appropriate parties. But I mean, when you start talking about who’s still walking free that we should be asking questions of and we’re looking at the Epstein investigation, that list immediately grows to like a hundred miles long. And we got in one of the document drops that happened a couple of weeks ago, and then we re-corroborated it multiple times since then, we got a list of 10 co-conspirators that they have had for years from one of their old investigations that just never happened because Cash Patel has been telling us there are no co- conspirators, there is no organization, it was just him alone. But we’ve got a document saying that they had 10 co-conspirators, one of whom was Leslie Wexner. They’re named. And the list is long, like there’s pilots, we know their names, Larry Vysotsky. There’s three different pilots. There’s a bunch of other madams like Elaine Maxwell, but, you know, assistants that were helping to recruit girls. There’s bunch of people that were trafficking models and bringing models in and out. There’s just this long, there’s an enormously long list. Of people in various roles all around Epstein that we know full well were at the very least deeply suspiciously involved, where they should be asked some very serious questions. I mean, right up to Ehud Barak, who by my accounting looks like the handler of Epstein. He certainly looks like we have all these emails from both Ehud Barrack’s email server now, and from Jeffrey Epstein’s trove of documents that corroborate them doing… What looks like intelligence operations all around the world and in the United States. So there’s just an endless number of people that, like you were saying earlier, that we could at least investigate because it’s in the name, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And they keep on giving us this line as though like, well, we’ve got emails, but it’s not illegal to party with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s like, we’re not asking you to read the emails, we are asking you to investigate all of the myriad suspicious things that are documented here in these files and emails. And instead of getting investigation, we’re getting what looks like cover-up, denial, distraction, anything, anything but investigation.

Tucker [00:34:44] And it kind of makes you wonder why. Well, it definitely makes you under why. And part of it is the political dynamic, which poisons everything. And Trump is obviously sensitive to partisan traps after the Russian nonsense, which was a lie. Russiagate was a lot. By the way, Russiogate was constructed, in my view, in part to cover up the origin of the DNC emails in 2016 and the John Podesta Gmail dump in 2016. Neither of which was done by Russia. Clearly, you know, there’s a lot more there. We’re not allowed to ask questions about Seth Rich. I don’t know why. Seth Rich’s parents don’t own that story. I feel so sorry for them, of course, but I’m an American citizen. And if someone is murdered on the street in Washington tonight, we all have an interest in asking, what was that? That’s not an attack on his memory. It’s a demand for justice in the name of every single American, not just his family. Don’t get to shut it down, sorry. Et cetera, et cetera, like all of this gets to the foundation of our system, which is justice is every citizen treated the same under the law or not. And if not, then we need to fix that. And I know that Trump is really worried this is a trap laid for him. I’m sure it is, but let’s set that aside and ask about the rest of us and whether our country can continue on the same basis that we assumed we were living under, which is again, one of equal justice under the laws. So, um… Can you just go through some of the questions? And I think both of us are trying to be really responsible and fact-based here. Clearly there’s nonsense in this document dump. Don’t wanna get trapped by it, don’t wanna fall for it, okay? But on the basis of things that we can say with some certainty are true or seem to be true, what are the questions that you, having gone through this for several days now, think that we should be asking, following up on?

Ian Carroll [00:36:42] Well, there’s questions for a lot of different people and some of them are more serious and some of the more maybe less serious. One of the biggest ones in many ways is how did we let Bill Gates be in charge of the medical decisions of our entire nation when apparently he was trying to slip antibiotics to his wife secretly because he transferred sexually transmitted diseases from hookers on Jeffrey Epstein’s islands to her? That is insane. And when you look back at the crime against humanity that COVID was and you realize who Bill Gates is and who he’s exposed to be in these emails, that’s atrocious. But that’s less of a question we need to ask and more of a person we need just forget about forever.

Tucker [00:37:33] Right. Well, first of all, I just bless you for saying that and you put it so well this is the guy who is making health decisions for the entire world and Apparently from these emails He’s trying to slip a drug into his wife’s drink because he infected her with a venereal disease from a Russian hooker So yeah, I mean that’s just like that’s to me. Thank you for that. That’s amazing

Ian Carroll [00:37:58] Yeah, that’s apparently our health professionals, our pandemic response. But I think that everyone that’s in the files has a certain amount of answering to do. For example, Elon Musk. And to Elon’s credit, at least he’s out on Twitter at least putting his words forwards. I don’t know, is they all square with me when you actually read what he said in the emails versus what he’s saying on Twitter? Is the truth. I haven’t seen anything that directly completely 100% contradicts one another, so to speak. So there’s reconciliations of because that for people that don’t have the context, there’s a bunch of emails of Elon Musk trying to sort of organize going to party with Jeffrey Epstein and explicitly saying, no, I want to go to a wild party. I’m not trying to have a relaxing vacation. I’m really stressed. I want a wild part. No big deal if it’s a bunch young girls. But also, it’s… Doesn’t appear that they ever actually managed to make that connection happen for a party. They kept missing each other. He did have lots of meetings with them. So there’s those sorts of reconciliations that need to happen. And then there’s the overt lies, like Peter Thiel’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein that have repeatedly been a moving goalpost of, I kind of knew him and I was kind of introduced to him to like, actually, you’ve got a whole bunch of emails with him. Actually, he funded your venture capital firm. With hundreds of thousands of dollars. Actually, clearly, this relationship was much more extensive than you displayed at first. The same is true of Howard Lutnick. Howard Luttnick, who is the Commerce Secretary right now, neighbor of Jeffrey Epstein, is on video in an interview explicitly, explicitly saying that I met him once way back and immediately knew he was a creep and me and my wife had to go and we never talked to him ever again, never saw him, never whatever. That’s not true. He’s in the emails, obviously like going to that. He took his family to the island. They were hanging out together. They were going to parties together. So there’s a whole spectrum of scandal for various people that I think needs to be answered for individually. And then there’s sort of the collective government answering that needs to done for the current administration and all of the various, because, you know, let’s be clear, the partisanship, it is so past time for partisanship right now. This is an American issue. It’s not a left or right issue. It’s just a Trump issue. It’s a not just a Bill Clinton issue. It’s an everyone issue. It’s corruption issue. And if there’s anything that should bring Americans together, it’s harm to our children. And it’s subversion of our nation using the harm of those children. There’s a bunch of people in Trump’s circle and around him that are very much implicated in these files. There’s obviously a bunch a Democrats that are super implicated in these file, everyone all around Clinton, Clinton himself, insanely implicated. So it’s not about which side is which. To me, the question there is, it’s about our government institutions answering to How have you let this corruption seep in and rot this out at its core? And in many ways, I think the heart of who needs to answer for that is our law enforcement institutions, our FBI and our DOJ. And I can’t think of anybody who I’m more disgusted by right now in our government than Cash Patel and Pam Bondi for their gross misrepresentation of what this is and their blatant moving of goalposts on the way here. And what to me, in my opinion, looks like direct obfuscation. Now that we’ve seen these files, now that we have read these documents, go back and re-watch what Pam Bondi said, what Cash Patel said, and what Dan Bongino said about how there’s no evidence that he trafficked girls to anyone. There’s no there’s evidence that you worked with anyone in any big conspiracy. It’s mind-blowing to see these files and we don’t even have them all yet. And that’s what you would come up with.

Tucker [00:42:17] So, well, and to your last point, we don’t have them all yet. My understanding is a little over 3 million, I think, documents, however that’s measured. They’re not documents, they’re digital images, whatever. But that there are a million or more than a million more, this is like one tranche in a series.

Ian Carroll [00:42:36] It’s a little unclear. We were told that they had over 6 million. And so now that we have 3 point something million, speculatively, there’s several more million to go. But we don’t really know as far as I’m aware exactly what they have. And one thing that I think we’re at a time where it’s important to remind the American people because a lot of people actually didn’t follow this story for a long time. Of people didn’t read the literature that’s been written on the case in the past. A lot of people don’t realize that it came out in the Glenn Maxwell trial, sworn FBI testimony like the testimony of FBI agents. It came out that when they first raided Jeffrey Epstein’s home, and they found all those binders with all of those CDs in them that we now have photos of, of like CSAM did not scan, CSAM, did not scan. We’ve got all the binder photos with all the different little photos in it. They, at first, found those binders and all those CDs and all those drives. And they photographed them all and did not take them with them because it was not within the scope of their warrant. They left and left all of that material there with Jeffrey Epstein’s staff at his place. And then they later asked them to send it to them. And it was sent to the FBI by Jeffrey Epstine’s people. And they had no way to corroborate if any of it was untampered with, basically. They didn’t even raid several of his properties. And some of the properties that they did raid. They basically had advanced warning, namely the island. So it’s important to remember that, A, we don’t have all the documents that they actually do have yet, but B, the actual documents that they do have is built on such a pathetic original collection of evidence. Not because like all the FBI agents were corrupt and didn’t wanna do it, but because something in the system, something in nature of how how this thing was protected, prevented any real acquisition of evidence where maybe they could have gotten, I’m sure they could have got in a lot, but you’re not going to get a whole lot when you raid the pedophile’s mansion and say, hey, would you send me all your hard drives in a week? I would love to take a look at them, right? And so when that came out in the Glane Maxwell trials a couple of years ago, It was just sort of like a big slap in the face to the whole… The whole idea that we’re ever going to get any real justice here kind of reminded me of like MKUltra, of what we have from the MKUlter documents is mind blowing and messed up and completely unbelievable. But people often forget that actually Dick Helms Our understanding at this point is that Dick Helms burned and destroyed well over 90% of the actual files that once existed about it. So we’re dealing with a slice of a slice, of a picture at this point.

Tucker [00:45:33] MKL tra, um, you know, approaching 60 years ago, this stuff is like, I mean, some of these files are seven years old. Um, and the people engaged in these colloquies are still around it. By the way, I know some of them, um. Which gets to the other point, which is like how was Jeffrey Epstein at the center of everything, every global star, I mean, he was going back and forth on Libya, you I was going. Back and forth in the global financial crisis. It’s like there’s really no- He was deeply involved in the global financial crises. He was actually selling CDOs. Okay, so can you just, I mean, there’s so much here and I hope when I’m- Yeah. We’re in the same place- Yeah, you actually- Through this in much greater detail, but can you tell us what we know about that? Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement or intersection with the global financial crisis, what’s that?

Ian Carroll [00:46:29] Well, the intersection with the global financial crisis specifically is a wild story that to be truly told, you need to put the evidence on screen as well. But the short version is that he had a company called Liquid Funding Limited that was domiciled in the Bahamas that was partially owned by Bear Stearns. And Bear Steerns is where he had come up for a long time. And Liquid Funding Limited was selling CDOs. The same types of CDOs that eventually caused the global financial crisis. It was capitalized at, I believe, $100 million and allowed to sell 20 billion with a B of CDOs. And I actually just was looking at that statistic earlier today because this is the craziest story. And that little CDO factory that Jeffrey Epstein was running… Tied into Bear Stearns. And if you recall, Bear Steerns was one of the, you know, the first to collapse, right? That shut down in the months directly preceding Bear Steurns starting to collapse. And Jeffrey Epstein. Redeemed all of those CDOs, all of those assets. The terms are, I don’t know the technical terms for what he did, but basically he made a run on the bank on those exact assets that were the exact problem. And he was tied into the exact bank that was financially distressed. And then he wound that whole company liquid funding limited up and disappeared. J.P. Morgan, the bank that he later worked with after Bear Stearns was his early banking career, and then he later was doing all of his money laundering and banking and referring to people at J. P. Morgan. They came in, swooped up Bear Steerns for pennies on the dollar. They also later spun Liquid Funding Limited back up. There’s a very overt financial paper trail that Jeffrey Epstein was… Better acquainted with the problem than almost anyone in the world because he was deeply enmeshed in Bear Stearns and knew the leadership of Bear Steerns very well. And he understood CDOs and he was selling CDOs. And then he just so happens to wind his whole shop up and close it down and redeem it all right at the moment when things are about to go bust. So, that’s a wild rabbit hole and it’s very interesting.

Tucker [00:48:54] But I mean, that suggests, or it doesn’t suggest it’s like direct evidence of, if I’m assuming we can verify what you’re saying, that like the biggest events in the world are actually not quite as organic or accidental as were led to believe, and that this is like puppet master stuff. I mean it is. I don’t know what to say. I don’t want this to be true, but that’s what it looks like.

Ian Carroll [00:49:22] Yeah. And the reason why I feel comfortable saying that is because I actually did produce an entire YouTube video on teleprompter with my sources directly in front of my face. They’re on screen. It’s on my YouTube right now. Yes. I think it’s titled Jeffrey Epstein knew, or he knew. And I put it out middle to late last year and walked through document by document. Not that we know for sure. Not that he like, you know, schemed it with his Illuminati buddies, but he was right at the heart of it, had all the knowledge of it. He was deeply connected all the parties in it. And then the timing is just so coincidental. And yeah, it does start to make you wonder about how much of our global events are orchestrated versus not. But then you know, you think about the global pandemic, and you think that we’ve got documents in the F-Scene files that they’re talking about getting a war in Ukraine started, and how that’s going to be good for business. And so these files have a lot of these world events sort of woven throughout them. Either directly or indirectly, it’s sometimes hard to say. But the reason I think why Jeffrey Epstein is at the center of so many of these things and at the central so many circles and at center so many important and powerful networks in our world is because Jeffrey Epsteine was a professional money launderer. There’s this facade as though we don’t know how Jeffrey Epstine made his money. And then there’s also a lot of people that will erroneously report. That Jeffrey Epstein made his money in legitimate ways, but then got into crime or whatever. That is not true. Jeffrey Epsteine went from legitimate-ish banking at Bear Stearns, where he was managing private wealth for clients, and then in the 80s, he went into his missing years where he said that he was a bounty hunter for billionaires. But we have lots and lots of evidence that during that time, he was working with arms Douglas Lees, Anand Khashoggi, and Robert Maxwell. And getting into… Money laundering for arms dealers, because he was exceptionally good at complex financial transactions using derivatives, using tax havens, using charitable structures of complex charitable organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative. And he got better and better throughout his career at basically committing complex financial frauds, like the tower financials fraud that he was a major part of. And so… When you get to the end of that line and he is getting into the actual human trafficking side of it, the blackmailing side of it. Money launderers are the node that all criminal networks have to flow through. Money laundering is the network, the node that any… Because it’s not just like money laundering for criminal stuff. It’s also if a billionaire wants to shelter their taxes or wants to pay less in taxes. And you can read the reporting about how Jeffrey Epstein referred Bill Gates and Sergey Brin and Benjamin Netanyahu and Larry Summers to JPMorgan for banking services. He referred a bunch of the wealthiest, most powerful people in the world to J.P. Morgan for banking services, right? Which is completely nonsensical if you take it at face value. But when you realize that that’s like… How when you’re in high school and you need to like know the guy that knows the weed dealer in order to get into like, you know, the back door. It’s like you need that trust network in a criminal space because criminals have to operate on trust. And so it’s like, you know a guy that know a guys to get you in the backdoor for the back door of the banking system is what that looks like to me. And who would know that better than Jeffrey Epstein. And so, there’s this… False narrative that we don’t know how he made his money. We don’t know what the network like. We that we don’t, know don’t. Know don’t know. And what that means is that those people have not read what we do know. Um and there’s a lot we still don’t know. But uh how Jeffrey Epstein made his money and why he was at the center of so much is not not the great mystery that it once was anyway.

Tucker [00:53:25] So here’s my big picture concern, is that, you know, all these, our country and the entire West, you, know, the structure is representative democracy, some version of that, like the people rule. And it is therefore, these are all voluntary systems, like people participate in the system, they pay their taxes, they obey the law, they vote. They abide by the results of those elections. All of this is just voluntary because we all believe that despite corruption and imperfection, the systems themselves are legitimate. They’re kind of run on the basis of what they tell us they’re doing. This is all for our benefit. If people decide that it’s all fake, it’s totally corrupt, our welfare has nothing to do with why these systems are running. It’s all like a scam. I don’t know, like, what happens then? When you know this much about the corruption, can any of these systems continue? And I should just say, for whatever’s worth it, I like a lot of these system. I grew up with them. Like, I’m for democracy, I am for, you know, transparent justice and all that stuff. I’m not for tearing it all down, but I just, I just started to wonder, like, can any this keep going, now that we know a lot the truth?

Ian Carroll [00:54:45] Yeah, that is the million dollar question. And think, so I’m 33 years old right now, and I’m sort of of the 9-11 generation. And I shudder to imagine how a 21-year-old must feel today or a 15-year old must feel today. Because even at my age, as sort of like a still younger kind of adult moving into like my generation is supposed to be moving into leadership roles and moving into positions of. Of taking on the mantle of leading our country in the next five to 10 years. And we all grew up in this world where the first thing we knew as young thinking adults was 9-11. And every event since then has felt like a facade. It’s all felt like lies. It’s felt like deception. And it’s culminated in this moment where we get this massive dump of information that just explicitly tells us that all the way back to Bill Clinton’s presidency and even before in a lot of ways. Our government has been blackmailed on behalf of a foreign malign malignant sort of an interest that then when we all we all see in 2019 that this guy gets charged they get all this evidence it is now 2026 that is seven years of the American government doing absolutely nothing with this. With this case, not prosecuting anyone, except for Galain a little bit, not ask any questions, no investigations. We’re like, we’re told that this is America. We’re told this is the greatest country on earth. What you would expect then from any decent country or any decent person, if you shrunk this down to a smaller frame of reference, is you would except that you deal with it. You deal with. You don’t let… People abuse children. You don’t let people blackmail your politicians. You don’t, let people control your financial networks through coercion and bribery and control like this. And so when people in their twenties and thirties and, and everyone of every age sees that for, for decades now, our nation has been co-opted from the inside. And then when they find that co-op option and then still nothing is done. In fact, it’s actually actively covered up. Almost 20 years now since the initial sweetheart deal. Yeah, I don’t know how you come back from that. And that’s where it feels a little bit more like, you remember that? There’s a famous tape that goes around of Yuri Bezmanov, I think his name is, describing KGB subversion, subversion of a nation and the stages of subversion. It’s I kind of shuttered to think this part of it all through, but it really does make me feel like almost like we’ve been cast from worth being controlled to now just being subverted because when you’ve been that deeply compromised for that long. It’s almost reminds me of the man that has let his values slip for so long, has been lost in the bottle for so, long or has been cheating for so long that once the lies all come out, once the pain all comes out, it’s like there’s no man left. That’s an unacceptable state of being. That’s a unacceptable answer. I’m trying to raise a family in this country. I’m trying to, you know, raise children. I’m trying to have a future. And so, so… I think there’s people at all different stages of grief with this thing and rage with this thing. And I think that maybe people that skew olders maybe skew more towards trying to ignore it. And I thing that people that screw younger maybe also giving up about it. But I’m somewhere in the middle where it’s like rage because we’re supposed to have future here. And I’m of the generation that’s supposed to be here to do something about it. And everyone in, you know, from my generation up to like, Gash Patel’s generation, for example, everyone of power, it seems to be just… Weak and spineless or unwilling to do something, unable to do something. So I don’t know what the solution is, but it’s just, it’s unacceptable to me that there isn’t.

Tucker [00:59:23] That’s right. But you also like in at the end of what you just said, you said people younger than you Just accept it. I mean older people can’t deal with it. It’s too much It’s two different from what they previously believed and I understand they they’re tormented by it. Like I I don’t believe this It’s all crazy And by the way, i’m probably close to that generation. I am closer than you are and I kind of felt that way Yeah, this is too crazy. This can’t be real. I took my kids to brunch a common pizza I know the guys who own it Like there’s no way this can be real, right? I mean, I’ll just admit it. I felt that way. I was wrong, obviously. So, but I get that. But much more disturbing is not just that boomers are, you know, out of it, we knew that, but that young people are just like so, basically have been made, let’s just be honest, so decadent in their thinking that they’re just like, yeah, of course, you know? Like of course we’re ruled by satanic pedophiles. Like, how terrible is that? That people are growing up in this country just assuming that the most grotesque crimes are the way things are.

Ian Carroll [01:00:30] It’s terrifying. It’s absolutely terrifying. It’s like the generation of children born into the camp that have never known anything else. Right. They’ve never known the freedom. They’ve ever known the sunlight. And for me, somewhere in the middle there, when I look at what that future looks like, if you let that subversion slide into one more generation, It’s like, is it maybe that you never come back out? Do you never have a respectful country again? Do you ever have the will to stand on your two feet and stand up for your rights as a human again? Because I’m somewhere in the middle there where like, I at least remember when we all believed that we had a country, when we all believed there was democracy, when we all believe that there was something going on here and that we would have a future. And looking at young people growing up. Starting to accept that this is just the way it is and that nothing will ever be done. I shudder to think of if this generation doesn’t pull it together and do something about this, and instead we let the next generation grow into just being sedated by all the flashing lights and the phones and the TikToks and the whatever else and just kind of sliding into the soma of it all. So to speak. That is the most horrifying idea in my mind ever. And that’s like rage against the dying of the light. There is no worse fate, in my opinion. Like death before sort of that slide down into the matrix, so to say. And it does feel like this at the time. It feels like it’s… When is the time, if not when 3 million documents come out?

Tucker [01:02:26] Obviously, we’re just, I mean, I’m, you know, traveling. We’re not, this just happened. You can’t process this stuff quickly enough. I mean this is, we are just touching the surface of what’s there, trying to sort through what’s true and what’s not, or even just to absorb it, like what’s in those documents. So this is just the beginning, but I’m grateful that you do this because I think you’re an honest man and I measure that with one, in one simple test. Are you willing to admit if you’re wrong? You have demonstrated it again and again. If you think you’re wrong about something, you have to say, I think I was wrong about it. So that’s what an honest man does. So I think you are honest, I think that you are obviously very smart, you see the big picture and you care. So I just wanna end on two questions. Where for people trying to assess this is a place to get more information about these documents? Like where, as a- Practical matter, like where can you go to fight? You can’t just like scroll through Twitter all day. Like where can find stuff, the primary documents? And two, what threads are you, you personally, Ian Carroll following up on, like really getting into in greater detail and where can people find them?

Ian Carroll [01:03:39] Um, my recommendation for where people should go to look into this for yourself is to double check for yourself. Basically is you should pair two things together. One should be the primary source and it should always be the primary source, which is justice.gov slash Epstein. And you should have that website open and you should the search bar right there. And anytime you see a reel on Instagram or a TikTok or something on X, you can pause that and you can screenshot it and you zoom in and you look at the words that are in that email or in that correspondence. And if you string together three, four, five words exactly as they appear in what you’re seeing and you put those words into the search bar, you’ll find that email immediately. Because there’s only so many emails that have thank you for including me last night in it. And if type thank you including me last night into that search bar. You’ll pull up this one that I have on my screen right now, where it ends with, it was fun to catch up with all the girls. And so that is a way that you can, anytime you see someone referencing something that’s in these files, take a quotation out, plug it into that search bar and double check it for yourself. Because there’s a lot of stuff, like it went super viral, that Jeffrey Epstein was Zora and Mamdani’s dad, which is not true at all. And it was just like running away with this mad social media energy. So double check things for yourself. That’s where I would go. I mean, and so with that in mind, then you’re equipped to go watch YouTubers and go watch TikToks and go scroll X if you want to and just absorb it however you want to absorb it just remember to think for yourself and double check for yourself and take your time because there’s so much here that a lot of people are jumping on narratives too quick. A lot of are chasing clicks too much and it’s gonna take months and maybe even years. Know, if the DOJ doesn’t help for us to actually unravel everything that is in there. So take your time. As for me, I’m actually working on a tool designed to help everyone do this. We’re naming it Web after Gary Webb, and we’re going to give it out to everybody. Where we’re just going to put all the documents in and cross-reference them all. We were kind of like using a bunch of complex AI because I wanted to do it. And my buddy was like, hey, we can build that way better. Basically building a tool where instead of just having a search bar, you can have conversations with all the documents, but actually have them primary sourced right there. So that when you want to know what’s in the documents you can get summaries of them. You can ask questions about you can search them all, but I actually have the original primary sources there. So that’s actually what I’m kind of like diving into really hard this week, because it’s, you know, I can search for the word pizza and pull up 851 results and open them one by one, all day long. But ultimately, this data set is just way too vast. And we need to make tools that let journalists dig through it in complex ways. Because obviously, the DOJ wanted it to be… Let’s say that I suspect that the DOG was not very interested in making them very accessible, as noted by them not giving us zip downloads to even download them with this time. So, trying to make them more accessible.

Tucker [01:06:57] Can I suggest a thread, you know, for a younger, more energetic man to follow up on? Absolutely. And that’s Epstein’s fixation on genetics and biotechnology. And it’s very clear to me, well, much is not clear to be at all. And I don’t understand this category very well, I’m not a scientist, a geneticist, but I have noticed, not just with Epstein, but with a bunch of people in Epstein orbit, that there is a fixation. On genetics and changing genetics and improving people and cloning and really kind of tampering with the material of life in a way that someone who believed he was God would or someone who’s involved in the supernatural would. I mean, there’s really heavy stuff here and that really, really matters. And I have not seen anybody go into that in a methodical way.

Ian Carroll [01:07:54] I absolutely agree. There’s a bunch about genetics and there’s actually some stuff about transgenderism in there that’s very fascinating and tend to look into that. And then one other thread that you remind me of that I’ve been digging into actually for a couple of years now and then was just producing moron because there’s a punch more on it is his Hollywood media connections through this woman named Peggy Seagal that is… She is one of Hollywood’s most famous madams that had her book of contacts that was getting Epstein into all these parties. And she’s one of those nodes of this connection, this network that was immediately pushed to the side and hidden in the shadows. She was blacklisted from all of Hollywood immediately. And I am very suspicious about why that was and why that still is. And so there’s just loose threads in so many directions. And I kind of get led by what’s the most like, for example, the genetics, what’s the most, like messed up or scary or sketchy, um, direction that he’s going. And then the other thing that kind of pulls me in a direction is what’s the most uh, where’s the, where is the dig that looks like there’s the most in it about whatever topic. Um, and so those are two that very much have my attention.

Tucker [01:09:14] In Carol, thank you for taking the time to do this. Again, we’re just at the very beginning, but I just, I felt like a lot of us, maybe all of us are being manipulated in the way that we respond to these files. Clearly we are. And so I just wanted to stop and reorient what we know is true at this early time and how should we be thinking about it. And as usual, you just delivered. So thank you. Appreciate it.

Some Crying Kids Are Way Cooler Than Others

February 6, 2026/in General/by Ann Coulter

So rules my North Star, The New York Times

This week’s illegal immigrant poster boy is 5-year-old Liam Ramos.

According to ICE, when agents approached the boy’s father outside his home, he fled, abandoning his son. The boy’s mother refused to take him, so the agents had to assume custody. The father was soon arrested, but insisted that his son come with him to the Dilley Detention center in Texas (built under Obama for illegals with children to “send a message that our border is not open to illegal migration”).

The two were soon sprung by Clinton judge Fred Biery, for incomprehensible reasons, and sent back to Minnesota, escorted by approximately half the Democrats in congress.

The media are bombarding us with pictures of Liam in a bunny-ear hat, providing minute-by-minute updates on his glorious return to Minneapolis, and holding nonstop interviews with the principal and teachers at Liam’s school and, for extra cuteness, his fellow 5-year-old classmates.

That got me thinking. Remember the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo by Alan Diaz for the AP, showing an INS agent (the precursor to ICE) pointing a 9-mm MP-5 submachine gun directly at a terrified little boy, Elian Gonzalez, who was hiding in a closet at the home of his Miami relatives? (Incidentally, to this day, the agent’s name remains unknown.)

Media:

THIS 5-year-old child is totally adorable!

THIS 5-year-old child is a real asshole.

Unlike Liam, Elian was in our country legally — as that rarest of things, a legitimate asylum seeker. His mother, along with 11 others, had fled Cuba on a boat to the U.S., the boat sank and all aboard drowned, except 5-year-old Elian who, days later, was found clinging to an inner-tube by Miami fishermen.

Under immigration law at the time, Elian was completely legal because he was a Cuban who had reached dry land before being intercepted by law enforcement. According to the law, not fairytale dreams of the Cato Institute, that made him eligible to remain in the U.S. and apply for residency.

(As a sidenote, in deference to the left’s invented legal requirement for deportation — which is found nowhere in our actual written laws — Elian, so far as we know, hadn’t committed any crimes.)

But the Clinton administration really wanted to send him back to Cuba, which, if you’re a leftist is, a super cool place! The fall of the Soviet Union had been heartbreaking for Democrats. The least they could do was hastily return a 5-year-old boy to this socialist paradise, where he could frolic on the beach with Bill de Blasio.

Elian’s Miami relatives went to court to ask for custody. After six weeks of the administration swearing up and down that they would abide by the Florida courts’ decision, the moment the courts ruled for the relatives, the Clintonistas changed their minds, defied the courts, and said they were deporting Elian, anyway.

The sacred supremacy clause!

I know what you’re thinking. The New York Times must have been outraged by the photo of a federal immigration agent pointing a submachine gun at an utterly petrified little boy, his finger on the trigger. I couldn’t remember, so I checked. Weirdly, they had exactly the opposite reaction.

The Times’ Thomas Friedman:

“Yup, I gotta confess, that now-famous picture of a U.S. marshal in Miami pointing an automatic weapon toward Donato Dalrymple and ordering him in the name of the U.S. government to turn over Elian Gonzalez warmed my heart. They should put that picture up in every visa line in every U.S. consulate around the world, with a caption that reads: ‘America is a country where the rule of law rules. This picture illustrates what happens to those who defy the rule of law and how far our government and people will go to preserve it.’‘’

In another column, Friedman expressed disgust at the Democratic mayor of Miami for refusing to allow local law enforcement to assist federal agents in seizing Elian. This, he said, proved that the mayor’s “allegiance” was “not to the laws of this land.” (I hope that Tom never hears how Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey hasn’t allowed local law enforcement to help immigration agents in Minneapolis. HE WILL BE SO MAD.)

For his part, the Times’ Frank Rich sneered that Elian was “the latest pawn in our culture’s increasingly pornographic exploitation of children … the new JonBenet Ramsey, a child the camera loves who can be bought, sold, dramatized and ogled for ghoulish fun and profit.”

We’re just going to have to trust the Times that it isn’t “pornographic exploitation of children” for the media — led by the Times — to promote a video of little kids at Liam’s pre-school reading their letters to ICE (not at all encouraged by their teachers, you hear me!?!) while holding up adorably childish drawings, mentioning the bunny-ear hat, and telling federal law enforcement, “this kind of makes me sad.”

No, no, no. That’s not “pornographic exploitation.” Pornographic exploitation is Cuban exiles trying to keep their 5-year-old relative out of Fidel Castro’s clutches.

Regarding the legal dimensions of the case, the late Anthony Lewis, Times opinion columnist and president of the Ho Chi Min Admiration Society, laid down the law in no uncertain terms: “Longstanding statutes give the Immigration and Naturalization Service custody of any alien who, like Elian, arrives at this country’s borders without entry documents.”

The law’s the law! No tickee, no entry.

As to that disturbing photo, Lewis forcefully defended the immigration agents’ wearing tactical gear to retrieve a crying child, explaining that “police going into a hostile situation where there may be danger say they must be prepared for the worst.”

(Okay guys – I think you’ve done enough self-incrimination.)

Meanwhile, a Times editorial praised the federal government’s pre-dawn, armed raid to nab Elian, noting with approval that “there was no deadly violence.” I guess the bar for a tiptop immigration arrest has risen a bit.

Deporting Elian, the editorial continued, was the “proper legal conclusion,” and his American relatives had “no business blocking” immigration agents.

(Can I quote you on that, New York Times?)

The fault, according to the Times, lay with the relatives’ “belligerence” and the local authorities’ “posturing.” Miami’s elected leaders’ refusal “to aid federal authorities,” the paper pronounced, “was insupportable.”

One refusal to comply: heroic. The other: insupportable.

JTA: Latest Epstein files release unleashes wave of antisemitic conspiracy theories on social media

February 6, 2026/9 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Latest Epstein files release unleashes wave of antisemitic conspiracy theories on social media

“This is the synagogue of Satan we are up against,” wrote far-right streamer Candace Owens.

A bank account named for an ancient god in Israel. A “synagogue of Satan.” References to “goyim” that hint at a Jewish-run global cabal. The mystery of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s alleged visit to China.

These are among the latest antisemitic conspiracy theories to be born from the Jeffrey Epstein files, following the document dump that has occupied online commentators for days.

Since the financial advisor and sex trafficker’s arrest by federal authorities in July 2019 and death by suicide a month later, antisemitic conspiracy theories about him have circulated widely, often invoking his Jewish identity and connections with Jewish and Israeli leaders.

But the Justice Department’s newly released batch of Epstein files on Friday, which contained over 3 million pages of documents, has taken things to a new intensity.

“If you think Epstein was just some rich pedo, you’re missing the big picture,” wrote the X account Clandestine, which has more than 734,000 followers. “Epstein was part of the satanic global elite that pull the strings from the shadows. Epstein was a Deep State puppet master.”

Mike Rothschild, a writer who researches antisemitic conspiracy theories on the far right, said the amount of material available in the files made them fertile ground for misinterpretation and confirmation bias.

“Whatever your particular brand of conspiracy theory is, there’s something in the files for you,” Rothschild told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “One of the problems that we’re having is that there is so much information and there’s no filter for it.”

Among the real revelations in the documents are a variety of exchanges of relevance to the broader Jewish world. Those include revelations that various Jewish nonprofits had courted Epstein for donations even after his conviction, evidence of Epstein’s financial ties with several Orthodox yeshivas, and new details about his well-known relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

Some of the emails also show Epstein referencing the High Holidays and deploying Jewish phrases like “goyim” in a disparaging manner.

“This is the way the jew make money.. and made a fortune in the past ten years„ selling short the shippping futures„ let the goyim deal in the real world,” wrote Epstein in a 2009 email to the cognitive psychologist and onetime Trump University executive Roger Schank.

In another email dated August 2010 to Jewish entertainment publicist Peggy Siegal, discussing a party guest list, Epstein wrote, “No, goyim in abundance- jpmorgan execs brilliant wasps.”

Some of the largest conspiracist personalities seized on the new document dump, claiming that it confirmed their longstanding beliefs about secret Jewish control.

“Remember the end of last year when I was called antisemitic for telling you this is the literal, religious worldview of many people in power?,” Candace Owens, right-wing commentator turned conspiracist, wrote in a post on X responding to a photo of an email where Epstein used the term. “Type in ‘goy’ or ‘goyim’ in the Epstein files and be sure to tag a Christian who needs to wake up and leave the Zionist cause.”

In an hour-long livestream titled “BAAL SO HARD: The Epstein Files,” Owens referred to Jews as “pagan gypsies” and repeated the neo-Nazi conspiracy that B’nai Brith was behind the “ritualistic murder” of Mary Phagan, whose killing sparked the antisemitic lynching of Leo Frank in 1915.

“The Epstein files create an opportunity for us to discuss this, to hear the way they speak about us behind closed doors exactly how Sigmund Freud spoke, it’s racist,” said Owens during the stream, which had reached 2 million views on YouTube Thursday. “I want to make it clear that this is for them a religious philosophy, a racist perspective that we are goyim, meaning cattle, that are meant to be herded and ruled over.”

On Sunday, Owens posted on X, “Yes, we are ruled by satanic pedophiles who work for Israel,” adding “This is the synagogue of Satan we are up against.”

It isn’t just leading antisemitic personalities but rank-and-file social media users who have sought to paint the data dump as an indictment of Jewish power.

“Normies: ‘let’s not jump to any antisemitic conclusions, we don’t know why Epstein did these terrible things.’ Epstein: ‘I love trafficking children, manipulating markets, and don’t believe goyim are human. Also this is all because I am Jewish,’” wrote an Eastern Orthodox Christianity influencer on X.

The Nexus Project, an antisemitism watchdog group, condemned the proliferation of antisemitic Epstein conspiracy theories in a series of posts on X, writing, “The Epstein files are real. The antisemitism they’re fueling is also real. And right now, the second part is getting almost no attention.”

“Jeffrey Epstein was a monster. His crimes were real. His victims deserve justice and are being revictimized right now by the DOJ,” the Nexus Project wrote. “Turning his private emails into proof of a Jewish conspiracy is pure antisemitism. And it is spreading faster than anyone is willing to say.”

Rothschild said he believed the files were “reinforcing stuff that these people already are pushing out.”

“If you are predisposed to believe Candace Owens’ theory that Israel is behind everything bad that’s ever happened, you’re going to find it in the Epstein files, even if it’s not there, because there’s so many mentions and there’s so much intrigue swirling around about it, because it’s just all this raw material you can kind of use it to make whatever you want,” said Rothschild.

New conspiracy theories also stemmed from an email exchange where Epstein requested money be wired to a bank account that some concluded was titled “Baal,” the name of an ancient Canaanite god.

“BREAKING: 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 EPSTEIN NAMED HIS BANK ACCOUNT BAAL,” wrote AdameMedia, a popular right wing X account that frequently posts conspiratorial content. “Baal is a demonic being that was worshipped in ancient israel by some hebrews before they converted to Judaism. Child sacrifice is a ritual of Baal worshippers, usually through burning, like lsraeI did to Gaza. Archaeological discoveries have found thousands of urns with cremated infant and small children remains. Now we have evidence of Epstein’s circle kiIIing and even eating children.” (Similar files say “bank name” where this one says “baal,” suggesting an error.)

Others across the ideological spectrum extended longstanding theories about Epstein’s ties to Israel.

On Friday, the right-wing anti-Israel personality Tucker Carlson hosted Cenk Uygur, the progressive co-creator of The Young Turks, for a podcast interview titled “Cenk Uygur: Epstein, JFK, 9-11, Israel’s Terrorism and the Consequences of Opposing It,” during which the pair claimed that Epstein was an agent of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. (In July, Carlson received pushback from former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett after he said Epstein worked for Mossad.)

“Jeffrey Epstein was much more powerful than we realized. He could set up a meeting with almost any world leader. He can get almost anyone into the White House. Again, Ehud Barak has trouble getting into the White House, Epstein makes a call, boom, he’s in the White House. Israeli spy stays over at Epstein’s house,” said Uygur. “There’s just no question about it. He is definitely intelligence and in every turn he’s looking to help one country and it’s Israel. American media says shut up.”

Left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker also repeated the claim that Epstein was working for Israel in a post on X Sunday.

“Benjamin netenyahu [sic] is in the files and former pm ehud barak has such an extensive relationship w esptein [sic] they might as well call it the israel files what the fuck are you talking about,” wrote Piker in another post on X, responding to influencer Eyal Yakoby’s claims that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not named in the files.

The DOJ’s Epstein database includes 659 search results for “Netanyahu,” but the vast majority of the documents that appear under the search include news articles forwarded to and from Epstein relating to the Israeli leader.

“Going by sort of the raw number of mentions in an email database is not helpful, because there’s no context for it,” said Rothschild. “If there’s 630 mentions of Netanyahu, but 100 of them are just forwarded articles, and 100 of them are people responding to Epstein saying how much they hate Netanyahu, that doesn’t mean anything. It just means that you have this number and people run with it, because people are taking these things and turning them into proof for whatever conspiracy they already believe in.”

On X, another conspiracy theory took hold after users claimed that an email sent from China to Epstein in April 2009 coincided with a trip by Netanyahu that same month. (The article cited said Netanyahu met with the Chinese foreign affairs minister in Jerusalem, not China.)

“Benjamin Netanyahu was in China and it seems likely that he was the man sending Jeffrey Epstein torture videos,” wrote Jake Shields, a far-right influencer and former MMA champion, in a post on X.

Other emails appeared to tie Epstein to Russia, leading to speculation that he had provided intelligence to the country and prompting calls for an investigation by the Polish prime minister.

Some conspiracy theorists online rejected the idea that Epstein might have been a Russian asset, instead suggesting it is a distraction being offered to take the heat off Israel.

“The memo went out, and the media is trying to say that Jeffrey Epstein worked for the KGB,” said the TikTok influencer “contraryian” in a video posted Tuesday that has amassed more than 30,000 likes. “He might have had multiple passports, but he talked to Israeli politicians, Jewish businessmen, and repeatedly invokes his Jewish identity.”

In response to a New York Post article about Epstein’s alleged Russian affiliations, one X user with 300,000 followers and a stream of antisemitic posts claimed that the coverage was evidence of a “Jewish controlled media.”

“Jeffrey Epstein- ‘I work for the Rothschilds, Israel, and world Jewry.’ Jew York Post- ‘Epstein probably worked for the Russians….,’” the post,  read. “You don’t hate the Jewish controlled media enough.”

In a podcast episode Monday, Jewish conservative pundit Ben Shapiro, who has previously criticized conservative rivals for linking Epstein with Mossad, said there was not evidence in the files that Epstein was blackmailing people “on behalf of a foreign power or a cadre of powerful people who are attempting to shape global policy.”

Rothschild, the conspiracy theory expert, said everything he has seen reflects deep-seated antisemitic animus among conspiracy theorists.

“Antisemitism is huge in these circles, it always has been,” he said. “Whether it’s just outright attacks on Jews, or the sort of more crouched globalists, European bankers, you know, antisemitism is a huge part of that world.”

But he emphasized that not all claims about Epstein amount conspiracy theories — which is why the drumbeat of antisemitism can continue unabated.

“Jeffrey Epstein was part of a cabal. I mean, it’s not like the Elders of Zion sitting around in a dark room, you know, deciding on the fates of nations, but it’s pretty clear that Epstein was at the center of a gigantic conspiracy,” said Rothschild. “That’s not a theory. That has nothing to do with Judaism. It has everything to do with greed and perversion.”

The consequences, he said, are bad for the Jews and for everyone else.

“Anything that calcifies our politics and our discourse even more, I think is very dangerous,” Rothschild said. “Certainly there’s always going to be a danger that it falls disproportionately on the Jewish community. I think it’s probably making life difficult for actual survivors of trauma like this to get people to pay attention to them.”

Alexander Dugin: Masks Off: Epstein Files Expose Israeli Control and Web of Satanic Elites

February 5, 2026/7 Comments/in General/by Alexander Dugin

Arktos: Masks Off: Epstein Files Expose Israeli Control and Web of Satanic Elites

And here another terrible thing is revealed, which has caused a huge scandal in the US: it is quite obvious that Israel is behind this. Israeli special services directed and coordinated all these activities. Ghislaine Maxwell’s father was an official Mossad resident in the US. Now a clear picture is emerging: Israel used such compromising information to control American and, possibly, world politics. This completely changes all perceptions and the playing field. America considered itself sovereign, and Israel merely an ally in the Middle East, but suddenly it turns out that the opposite is true. It was Israel that directed American policy, coordinating the blackmail process. At the same time, Epstein and his entourage made no secret of their overt Zionist racism. In the files, they discuss: “Will it be just us at the party, or will those damn goyim be there too?” And Epstein replies: “Yes, unfortunately, the goyim will be there too.” This is blatant complicity in the Zionist plan to control the West. Previously, only marginal conspiracy theorists talked about this, and no one believed them, thinking that such a great country could not be a tool in the hands of a small state. But now America, horrified, has seen that it can be. …

The existence of a truly satanic elite in the West, which has now been exposed — without any scare quotes or metaphors — makes our situation completely different from what it seemed to be recently. We believed that we could negotiate with some, convince others, demonstrate our strength to others, or present arguments to still others. But what has now been revealed proves that this does not work. Completely different methods are needed to deal with a satanic civilization. …

This picture fundamentally changes our understanding of what the West is. We see its total moral decline and the truly satanic nature of Western civilization. Our president has cautiously remarked more than once that the West has become satanic, and now we have factual confirmation: “black masses,” satanic rituals, global pedophilia, and the absolutely criminal nature of the elites. The most terrible suspicions and invectives of those who saw the “mystery of iniquity” in the West have become common knowledge. How should we deal with such people? We should no longer be surprised by their lies, their violation of agreements, and their support for terrorist regimes in Ukraine or the Middle East. They are ready to carry out regime change anywhere, using instruments of pressure even on those who do not want to do so.

We’ve woken up in a different world. When these files began to be published, our media were momentarily stunned by the shock. All of our harshest characterizations of the West turned out to be too modest. We considered them to be simply people with their own views, but Epstein’s correspondence shows something else: the promotion of transgenderism, the legalization of LGBT (a movement banned in Russia), and direct links to satanic groups. It is important to emphasize that this has nothing to do with traditional religious Judaism, which believes in God. What we’ve seen is a diabolical system of world government. It is the living embodiment of Orthodox culture’s predictions about the kingdom of the Antichrist. It is difficult to imagine anything more expressive than these files confirming the idea that we are living in the era of the Antichrist, and that Western civilization is his civilization.

Alexander Dugin: In my opinion, I would not underestimate the significance of what is happening. A global network of pedophiles involved in torture, rape, murder, even cannibalism and “black masses” has now been exposed. This network included the elite of both American parties: from George Bush Sr. to Barack Obama, the Clintons, and Bill Gates. Their own participation as well as that of many European leaders in this structure has been confirmed. Many of them are now resigning because belonging to this group, being part of Epstein’s inner circle, and visiting his island are, in principle, a total discrediting for any politician, public figure, person with scientific ambitions, thinker, philosopher, economist, or businessman. In essence, belonging to this criminal network, being acquainted with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and other figures in their circle in any capacity, is tantamount to a full admission of criminal activity.

Therefore, in my opinion, this is extremely serious. First, the most important thing is that the modern Western elite is so immoral that no one in the West has the moral right to lecture their own society or dictate to it what to do, and when it comes to other nations, these degenerates — the pedophile, liberal, globalist elite — simply have no right to open their mouths. In my opinion, it is simply immoral to engage in any negotiations with them or to sit next to people who are tainted by the “Epstein list.” People who respect their dignity are forbidden from finding themselves in the same situation as those who openly trample on that dignity. It is a matter of honor: the people on the Epstein list have completely lost any sense of being respectable or ability to interact with decent people. There is a harsh term in Russian criminal slang — byt’ zakontachennym — “to be finished,” “to be utterly discredited.” People who have participated in child abuse are totally discredited in every respect. And that is the first colossal conclusion. Now they are trying to hush up this scandal a little, but it will have truly tectonic consequences.

Host: Allow me to ask an additional question: will the Western politicians and officials who are involved in this story really get away with it? Or will it all be limited to the high-profile resignations we are seeing right now, such as Peter Mandelson in Britain or Miroslav Lajčák in Slovakia?

Alexander Dugin: I can’t say for sure, but the question is: who will judge them? In order to judge these people involved in such monstrous crimes against children, women, and innocent people — including threats to bury under Trump’s fields those underage girls who tried to protest against what was done to them — a revolution must take place. People must emerge who are truly free from any contact with this environment. And here it turns out that there’s both Musk and Bannon, not to mention Trump himself — Trump is totally smeared by this inner circle of Epstein, including the first lady. Who can really judge them? To judge them is to judge the entire modern West, to judge the Western elite and those who now rule the world.

Moreover, there were two prominent politicians in both the Democratic and Republican parties who insisted on the publication of these files. This did not happen thanks to the benevolence of Trump, who himself was a direct participant in pedophile activities on Epstein’s island. The point is that Republican Thomas Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna, who certainly had nothing to do with this, were able to push this decision through despite fierce resistance from the elites. Trump once claimed that these documents did not exist and that it was all fiction, but now it turns out that it is not fiction, but a real verdict on the Western elites. How can they be judged when they are the power in the West?

In such cases, people usually storm the Bastille, carry out coups, and take to the streets in angry, frenzied crowds who simply can no longer tolerate the scum that have seized world power. This is not yet visible, and it is unclear what will happen next, but in any case, it is a compelling reason for a total anti-elite revolution in the US and other countries. I know of no other precedent in history where something like this has gone unpunished.

Now some are running away, some are hiding, some are trying to hush up the scandal and downplay the significance of the publication of the files, but the more people read them, the more horrified they become. The files contain information not only about child abuse, but also about human trafficking at the highest level.

That is the first observation. The second is that it seems that many people went to Epstein’s island not to satisfy their perversions. They went there as a kind of “human resources department” of the world government to participate in criminal acts that were recorded on film and became the subject of blackmail. Without this dossier linked to Epstein’s island, you simply cannot join the elite. This is a well-organized, systematic discrediting of Western politicians, which is a necessary “ticket” to power, which in itself is monstrous. At one time, the KGB and pro-Soviet regimes in Eastern Europe were accused of similar practices, but it turns out that in the West, this has developed into even more grotesque forms. The question remains open, and I don’t want to go into details, but it is already a proven fact: if you want to join the elite, commit a monstrous crime on camera, and then, having been completely discredited, you will be able to enter the government and carry out the instructions of a certain center.

Now the third question: what is this center? It is interesting that in Epstein’s files, a significant part of the documents is not devoted to rape at all, but to world government. The correspondence with high-ranking politicians discusses the displacement of power and coups in Russia and Ukraine. In Ukraine, the plan succeeded, and Epstein is happy about it. In Russia, in 2012, this circle had the idea of removing the legitimate president, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and replacing him with representatives of the opposition — Ilya Ponomarev and Alexei Navalny are mentioned there. Moreover, Epstein and Bannon’s correspondence also mentions my name in the context of the existence of conservative traditionalist circles in Russia that support a multipolar world and reject Western hegemony.

Many people are mentioned in this capacity. Not everyone listed in the files was involved in crimes: our president, Vladimir Putin, for example, appears there as a target for elimination, pressure, and overthrow. Both friends and enemies are described there. The question arises: what kind of power is this? These circles not only supply “live goods” and collect compromising information, they work for someone else, having their own plan to reshape the world, supporting some regimes and discrediting others.

And here another terrible thing is revealed, which has caused a huge scandal in the US: it is quite obvious that Israel is behind this. Israeli special services directed and coordinated all these activities. Ghislaine Maxwell’s father was an official Mossad resident in the US. Now a clear picture is emerging: Israel used such compromising information to control American and, possibly, world politics. This completely changes all perceptions and the playing field. America considered itself sovereign, and Israel merely an ally in the Middle East, but suddenly it turns out that the opposite is true. It was Israel that directed American policy, coordinating the blackmail process. At the same time, Epstein and his entourage made no secret of their overt Zionist racism. In the files, they discuss: “Will it be just us at the party, or will those damn goyim be there too?” And Epstein replies: “Yes, unfortunately, the goyim will be there too.” This is blatant complicity in the Zionist plan to control the West. Previously, only marginal conspiracy theorists talked about this, and no one believed them, thinking that such a great country could not be a tool in the hands of a small state. But now America, horrified, has seen that it can be.

What other suspicions are confirmed and what else will be discovered in these files, given that only half of them have been published? And finally, it is extremely important to note that the files related to Trump himself appeared on the website of the US Department of Justice, headed by Pamela Bondi, for a couple of hours. The documents confirmed his complicity in acts of pedophilia. The same website also features stories about Melania Trump, the mayor of New York, many representatives of the European elite, the [British] royal family (including Prince Andrew), and people from Macron’s inner circle. They all ended up on this list, and, by the way, Elon Musk was there too.

Host: Let me clarify some details. First of all, let’s recall that Ilya Ponomarev and the late Alexei Navalny are on the list of terrorists and extremists. While we are discussing this topic, events are developing rapidly. Trump has just published a separate post on Truth Social where he categorically stated that he had never been to Epstein’s island and had never even come close to it. This was his response to Trevor Noah’s joke at the Grammy Awards. The question arises: does it make sense to wave your fists now, when the publication — even if it only lasted an hour — has already spread? After all, as we know, the internet remembers everything.

Alexander Dugin: Trump, in general, is either truly insane or completely unaccountable for his words. In just this year of his second presidential term, he has changed his statements so many times: first he promised voters that Epstein’s files would be published, then he swore that they did not exist at all, and now, when they were forced to be made public, he claims that they do exist, but that he has nothing to do with them. Is it possible to seriously listen to and take such a person seriously? Note: this elderly man, involved in such affairs, constantly lies and carries out acts of unprovoked aggression against modern states. Is it possible to seriously negotiate with such a figure, is it possible to trust him? His words have completely lost all meaning. He is part of this network, and it is only natural that he will justify himself by denying the obvious. However, the documents have been preserved, they have been published on the US Department of Justice website, and anyone can study them.

This is undoubtedly a huge scandal, which has given rise to a logical idea: since we now know for certain that America is controlled by the Mossad, Israel, and aggressive right-wing Zionists, there are reasons for publishing this compromising information right now. Western networks are discussing how Trump is allegedly trying to resist the war with Iran that these circles are pushing for.

I don’t want to make a final judgment; here, one needs to understand the inner nature of Western society, but it seems that the sudden appearance of compromising information is a tool of the geopolitical forces behind Epstein. The goal is simple: to use blackmail to push Trump to start a war with Iran or to escalate relations with Russia. It turns out that the American elite is completely under the control of this center, and their public statements are just a cover for invisible processes controlled from one small state in the Middle East.

This picture fundamentally changes our understanding of what the West is. We see its total moral decline and the truly satanic nature of Western civilization. Our president has cautiously remarked more than once that the West has become satanic, and now we have factual confirmation: “black masses,” satanic rituals, global pedophilia, and the absolutely criminal nature of the elites. The most terrible suspicions and invectives of those who saw the “mystery of iniquity” in the West have become common knowledge. How should we deal with such people? We should no longer be surprised by their lies, their violation of agreements, and their support for terrorist regimes in Ukraine or the Middle East. They are ready to carry out regime change anywhere, using instruments of pressure even on those who do not want to do so.

We’ve woken up in a different world. When these files began to be published, our media were momentarily stunned by the shock. All of our harshest characterizations of the West turned out to be too modest. We considered them to be simply people with their own views, but Epstein’s correspondence shows something else: the promotion of transgenderism, the legalization of LGBT (a movement banned in Russia), and direct links to satanic groups. It is important to emphasize that this has nothing to do with traditional religious Judaism, which believes in God. What we’ve seen is a diabolical system of world government. It is the living embodiment of Orthodox culture’s predictions about the kingdom of the Antichrist. It is difficult to imagine anything more expressive than these files confirming the idea that we are living in the era of the Antichrist, and that Western civilization is his civilization.


Host: Let’s remember that Satanism is officially recognized in Russia as a terrorist and extremist movement and is banned. And you know, against this backdrop, there is no room for surprise. When Zelensky’s former associates and Western leaders begin to seriously mention rituals, voodoo dolls, and black magic, it feels as if all masks have been dropped at once. I am in complete agreement with you here. We have already begun to build a bridge through the prism of the Epstein files to the Iranian issue. Do you think this publication and the huge scandal surrounding it are capable of really delaying or even postponing the start of a possible war between the United States and Iran?

Alexander Dugin: I think that, based on the general mood in Western society and the US, it will rather bring military aggression against Iran closer. In order to divert attention from the inevitable consequences of the publication of the Epstein files, something truly momentous must happen: either a major war or — I would not rule this out — a nuclear conflict. The compromise of the Western elites is so profound, and the analysis of these 3 million files is such a fatal verdict for the establishment, that this event can only be overshadowed by something equally significant.

It seems to me that a conventional war with Iran would not even cover the scale of the scandal, unless nuclear weapons were used from the outset. The world is on the brink of a real catastrophe. The existence of a truly satanic elite in the West, which has now been exposed — without any scare quotes or metaphors — makes our situation completely different from what it seemed to be recently. We believed that we could negotiate with some, convince others, demonstrate our strength to others, or present arguments to still others. But what has now been revealed proves that this does not work. Completely different methods are needed to deal with a satanic civilization.

Theoretically, this civilization needs to declare war on everyone who is not part of it. All forces not under the total control of this global “Epstein Island” and the pedophile network of liberal elites must rise up.

Religious duty itself calls for this, including for Jewish circles, who see where those who hide behind their name are leading humanity. I think this is our common duty, and this is the most serious conclusion. Well, as for Iran…

Host: I would like to clarify and remind listeners that the international satanist movement is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia. Alexander Dugin, you speak of the inevitability of a major war or catastrophe, but at the same time, Axios reports on signals that the US is sending to Iran regarding a possible deal. If, according to you, even such a large-scale conflict might not overshadow the Epstein files scandal, then it follows that any deal will be even less likely to neutralize this scandal. Or am I mistaken in my assessment?

Alexander Dugin: No one will even notice the deal, especially since America cannot be trusted. They invited Hamas to the deal and in that very instant destroyed its entire political leadership. The West cannot be trusted for a second. The deal will not distract attention from anything, which means it simply will not happen. Or it will turn out to be a cunning move to destroy the Iranian elite. But, on the subject of destroying the elite, I want to draw attention to the sinister scale that all this is now taking on. Today, we are seeing completely undisguised operations by the US, the West as a whole, and their allies (or now the question is, who is whose ally: I mean Israel, perhaps it is the West that is Israel’s ally, and not vice versa). In general, the methods of the West are becoming more and more obvious, more and more frequently: everyday they are used against those countries and political systems that do not accept their will and do not agree to capitulate.

Note that it all began with Israel’s destruction of the political leadership of Hamas. But here one could still say that Hamas attacked Israel, and there is a kind of balance or symmetry here. It cannot be said that this was fair, but in any case, fine, the military leadership of Hamas was destroyed, regardless of where it was located. Next, the leadership of Hezbollah, which did not officially enter into war with Israel in Lebanon, despite their statements in support of Hamas, is destroyed.

Now the political leadership of yet another country is being targeted for destruction. Next, during the conflict between Israel, the US, and Iran, Israeli missiles and other technologies destroy the top leaders of Iran’s military-political wing, including scientists who were developing nuclear projects, among other things. In other words, we are again seeing the targeted destruction of leaders of political regimes that do not fit into the agenda of Israel and the US.

Then, within a few hours, the legitimate president of Venezuela is kidnapped. Next, we see attacks by Ukrainian drones on the residence of the Russian president. And now, in principle, what was a taboo, a kind of unspoken restriction on the destruction of political and military leaders of another country, with which, moreover, there is no direct and declared war, is becoming common practice. Plus, we can add the recent attempted military coup in China to this. We don’t talk about it much, but it’s no coincidence that almost the entire military leadership there has been removed, including the head of the entire Chinese military machine, Zhang Xuyao, the person closest to Xi Jinping. All the others, practically the entire military leadership, were removed in one day because, according to the Chinese media (which is very sparing in its coverage of the situation), they took part in a conspiracy against the political leadership of the PRC in favor of the US. In China itself, the West is trying to carry out a regime change operation. Protests supported by the US and Israel have just been raging in Iran itself, but they did not lead to the desired result: there was no change in the Velayat-e Faqih political regime, which is Iran’s political and religious system. Well, that means there will be further action.

So here’s the thing: regime change operations, the physical destruction of the political leaders of those states and systems that do not want to accept this wild, the satanic civilization of the liberal West — we must be prepared for all of this. Of course, if the enemy now succeeds in eliminating the key figures in those states (especially civilization-states that have the courage, dignity, and strength of such a spiritual calling to resist what we are dealing with in the West), they will take advantage of this. If this opportunity arises, and this opportunity depends solely on them, then nothing will stop them: no arguments that this could lead to total conflict or the use of nuclear weapons.

All these arguments no longer work. That is the horror of our situation. And what we are seeing — how the US is conducting regime change operations and trying to eliminate its political opponents, regardless of their position, including presidents or heads of state, and sometimes, alas, succeeding — all of this puts all societies (Iran, China, and most importantly, Russia) in completely new circumstances. In other words, if the West is irrational, if it has turned all methods of influence against us and is no longer preventing its own satellites from attacking our president, then the launch of a regime change operation in Russia itself is something we should fear and expect in the very near future.

I would like to remind you again of Epstein’s correspondence with Ilya Ponomarev, an extremist banned in Russia: they discussed regime change operations as early as 2012. And now Russia, standing at the forefront of the fight against the satanic civilization of the West, certainly poses a huge danger to them. In essence, our president, our people, our army, and our society are the entire axis of resistance to the Antichrist’s civilization. Of course, one could say that there is also China, but China has tried in every way to delay this direct confrontation. It did not even actively support us at the beginning of the war in Ukraine. We endured this blow alone in the first stage. But what is the reward for China’s neutrality? An attempt to overthrow Xi Jinping and bring even more pro-Western politicians to power. In other words, no one is free and protected from the West, which has entered a critical era in its historical development.

It is simply an absolutely insane, purely diabolical civilization with no moral constraints, which has gone through these anti-human experiences in order to join the elite. Can you imagine who Trump is, what is going on in this man’s head? Can there be any moral, political, or legal arguments capable of restraining him? He himself recently stated that there is no such thing as international law, and that moral means whatever he considers moral. If this is said by a pedophile (let’s think about it and put together the information about the pedophile experiences of the current US president, which did not stay on the Justice Department’s website for long, with his statement about morality), then it turns out that for him, pedophilia is moral. So, this has become the law for the entire West. Imagine what a deeply sick, perverted world we have gradually and imperceptibly found ourselves in. And we wanted to follow it 30 years ago. What’s 30 years — five or six years ago, before the start of the Special Military Operation, we shared its so-called values, we wanted to preserve sovereignty, preserve the peculiarities of national culture, but we had nothing against the West as a whole. In the ‘90s, we were just eager to join, and our elites went about integrating into these global circles.

‘No rules’: Gaza’s doctors say they were tortured, beaten and humiliated in Israeli detention

‘No rules’: Gaza’s doctors say they were tortured, beaten and humiliated in Israeli detention

February 25, 2025

 

Healthcare workers are protected under international law yet hundreds were detained during the war. Now, some of Gaza’s most senior doctors have spoken of the violence and abuse they say they faced

Dr Issam Abu Ajwa was in the middle of performing emergency surgery on a patient with a severe abdominal injury at al-Ahli Arab hospital in central Gaza when the soldiers came for him.

“I asked them what they were doing coming into the operating theatre,” he says. “One of the soldiers pointed at me and said: ‘Are you Dr Issam Abu Ajwa?’ I said: ‘Yes, that’s me.’ And then the beating began.”

Still in his surgeons’ scrubs, the 63-year-old Abu Ajwa says he was dragged from the operating room before being handcuffed, blindfolded and stripped.

He was then put in a military truck with other doctors, nurses and medical staff and driven away from the hospital. Less than 24 hours later he was in a detention facility in Israel, beginning what he describes as months of brutal and constant violence and abuse.

“There were no rules,” he says.

During interrogations, he says he was tortured and beaten. “They would throw me on the ground. One would hit me on the head while the other opened my ear and poured water inside,” he says.

“There was a bathroom [in the interrogation room] … [they] would take a toilet brush and tell me ‘today we are going to brush your teeth.’ I was tied up, blindfolded and three or four of them held my face, pinned it down and kept scrubbing.”

Abu Ajwa says they broke his teeth: “They have no humanity.”

Under international law, healthcare workers like Abu Ajwa should be protected from attacks by warring parties and be allowed to continue providing medical care to all who need it.

Yet by the time the January ceasefire came into effect, more than 1,000 medical staff across Gaza had been killed and many hospitals bombed to rubble – attacks which a UN Human Rights Council commission concluded amounted to war crimes.

Hundreds more medical staff who survived the airstrikes and ground assaults were arrested, illegally transferred across the border and disappeared into Israeli prisons, including dozens of doctors.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 297 doctors, nurses, paramedics and other healthcare workers from Gaza were detained by Israel during the war.

Palestinian medical NGO Healthcare Workers Watch says it believes the number is slightly higher and that it has verified that 339 healthcare workers from Gaza have been detained by the Israeli military, with at least 160 still inside Israeli prison facilities.

In interviews with the Guardian and the Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ), eight of Gaza’s most senior doctors have given harrowing testimonies of the torture, beatings, starvation and humiliation they say they suffered during months of detention.

All of those interviewed say they were targeted because they were doctors. Most were arrested inside hospitals as they worked; others were taken from ambulances or detained at checkpoints after being identified as healthcare workers. All those doctors interviewed were detained under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law, which grants the Israeli military sweeping powers to detain anyone from Gaza they say might pose a security threat.

They stripped me naked, put a blindfold over my eyes and handcuffed my feet. The beatings started from this first moment

Dr Mohammed Abu Selmia

Some, including Abu Ajwa, believe they were singled out for extreme violence by prison guards and interrogators because they were doctors.

“One of the senior interrogators had given instructions that because I was a senior consultant surgeon they should work hard to make sure that I lost [the use of my hands] and became unable to perform surgery,” he says.

He says he was handcuffed for 24 hours a day and interrogators used planks with chains to restrain his hands for hours at a time. “They said they wanted to make sure I could never return to work.”

None of the senior doctors interviewed say they were given an explanation for their detention. All were released without charge after months of imprisonment.

The UN Human Rights Office said the mass detention of healthcare workers has had a catastrophic impact on civilians, denying injured and sick patients – as well as junior medical staff – access to the decades of medical skills of senior medics and has been a clear contributing factor in the almost total collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system.

“Israel must immediately release all those held arbitrarily, including medical staff, and end all practices that amount to enforced disappearances, torture and other ill-treatment,” the UN said in a statement given to the Guardian. “Those responsible for crimes under international law must be held to account.”

Dr Mohammed Abu Selmia: ‘I was immediately detained … as if they were waiting for me’

Dr Mohammed Abu Selmia, director of al-Shifa hospital in northern Gaza, was arrested at a checkpoint while travelling with a convoy of patients in ambulances after the Israeli army told him to evacuate the hospital in November 2023.

“When I told them my name, they pointed their weapons at me and their laser [sights] at my head and chest and I was immediately detained … as if they were waiting for me, as if they had seized a big prize,” he says.

“They beat me with rifle butts and chairs,” he says. “After that, they poured sand over my head and shoved dirt into my mouth.

“I was on the floor on my knees with a blindfold and they were beating me … after this I was put in a vehicle, myself and many others piled on top of each other in a humiliating and degrading way,” he says. “Everyone was screaming, everyone was crying out ‘we don’t know where we’re going.’ The beating was constant.”

All of the doctors interviewed by the Guardian and ARIJ reported the same pattern of identification, detention, transfer to Israel and incarceration, and then being moved multiple times between Israeli-run prisons during their captivity.

It was not just the beatings [but] the way they treated us like we were not human. In Nafha prison, they kept telling us to howl like dogs

Dr Bassam Miqdad

In these facilities they say they were subjected to terrifying and inhumane treatment including being constantly beaten and kept in stress positions for hours at a time and having loud music played constantly to prevent them from sleeping.

“Frankly, no matter how much I talk about what I experienced in detention, it is only a fraction of what truly happened,” says Abu Selmia.

“I am talking about being clubbed, being beaten with rifle butts and being attacked by dogs. There was little to no food, no personal hygiene, no soap inside the cells, no water, no toilet, no toilet paper … I saw people who were dying there.

“Every day is a humiliation, every day is degradation. There you are just a number, you are not a hospital director or a human being. I was beaten so badly I couldn’t use my legs or walk. No day passes without torture.”

In their testimonies, the doctors say they were also denied food and water, with some forced to eat toothpaste for lack of anything else. They said they were not allowed to wash or change their clothes, sometimes for months at a time.

Dr Mahmoud Abu Shehada, head of orthopaedic surgery at Nasser hospital, was arrested at work on 16 February 2024. “All the medical staff were told to leave. We [were] lined up between the administration building and the old Nasser building,” he says.

“We were subjected to severe beatings from Friday afternoon to the early hours of Saturday morning. It was a brutal night of assault and abuse. We were stripped naked; it was cold, and they deliberately sprayed us with cold water.”

Abu Shehada spent around three months in different detention centres, where he says he suffered “daily humiliations and torture” before being transferred to Israel’s desert Negev prison.

“In Negev prison, the detainees were suffering from skin diseases, scabies and severe infections with pus and discharge on the skin,” he says.

“After a while the infection spread to us. Weakness and fatigue took over to the point where many of us could barely stand.”

Dr Bassam Miqdad, head of orthopaedic surgery at the European hospital in Gaza, was detained after being stopped at a military checkpoint and spent seven months in Israeli prisons.

“There were Israeli nurses and doctors there but they wouldn’t even look at you,” he says. “I saw people with broken limbs and the guards would pull them around. They would ask, ‘where does it hurt?’ and then beat you on that injury.”

Miqdad said he found it very difficult to recount the violence and humiliation he says he was subjected to in Israeli prisons.

“It was not just the beatings [but] the way they treated us like we were not human,” he says. “In Nafha prison, they kept telling us to howl like dogs.”

Dr Bassam Miqdad: ‘I saw people with broken limbs and the guards would pull them around’

Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a British-Palestinian associate professor of surgery, who volunteered as a doctor in Gaza during the early stages of the war, says the psychological impact of the “performative” nature of the humiliation and torture of senior medical staff in prisons is “beyond devastating”.

“These are some of the most revered, most respected and senior members of their communities,” he says. “It is nothing short of a deliberate attempt to subjugate and violate the whole of Gazan society.”

To date, two of Gaza’s most senior doctors have died in Israeli detention. Dr Iyad al-Rantisi, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at Kamal Adwan hospital, died at Shikma prison.

Dr Adnan al-Bursh, head of the orthopaedic department at al-Shifa hospital, died shortly after being transferred to Ofer prison in April 2024, with former detainees claiming that he died from torture and had suffered severe sexual violence in the hours before his death.

Reports of torture, violence and psychological abuse of healthcare workers have been verified by the UN and published in reports by organisations such as HWW, Human Rights Watch and Physicians for Human Rights Israel.

In a HWW report from October 2024, healthcare workers who had been locked inside Israeli detention facilities gave testimonies of being electrocuted, hung by their arms from ceilings, being sexually assaulted and having their genitals mutilated.

A doctor told the Guardian and ARIJ that he witnessed sexual assaults while in Israeli detention and tried to help treat a healthcare worker who had been raped by prison guards.

“A prisoner … had a baton inserted into him,” said Dr Khaled Serr, a surgeon at Nasser hospital, who was detained in Israeli prisons for more than six months before being released without charge.

“The assault was so violent that it caused severe muscle tears in his rectum. Even after his release, he continues to suffer. We performed multiple surgeries on him, but they have not been successful.”

Prof Nick Maynard, a senior surgical consultant at Oxford hospitals who worked in hospitals in Gaza during the war, said the arbitrary detention of hundreds of medical staff in Israeli prisons set a “chilling” precedent.

“We have just witnessed a war in which hundreds of medical staff, including some of Gaza’s most experienced medical staff, are dragged away from their patients and thrown in prisons for months at a time and tortured with impunity in breach of the Geneva conventions and other humanitarian laws,” he says.

“It is a deliberate attempt to terrorise, hollow out and disable an already depleted and traumatised healthcare workforce. It will have inevitably led to the deaths of many civilians,” the professor says.

Satellite images from 9-20 December 2023 reveal earth berms erected to hinder movement to the hospital and provide cover for soldiers, roadblocks and military activities around it, which in effect prevented anyone from accessing the medical facility, or delivering medicine and food.

Israel has defended its attacks on Gaza’s healthcare system by claiming hospitals were being used by Hamas as military command or operation centres.

Under international law, healthcare facilities can lose their protected status and become military targets if they are used for acts “harmful to the enemy”.

The UN high commissioner for human rights, Volker Türk, said: “If these allegations were verified, this would raise serious concerns that Palestinian armed groups were using the presence of civilians to intentionally shield themselves from attack, which would amount to a war crime.

“However, insufficient information has so far been made available to substantiate these allegations, which have remained vague and broad, and in some cases appear contradicted by publicly available information.

The Guardian put all the doctors’ allegations relating to their detention to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), which did not respond to the individual cases but provided a general statement in which it said it was “operating to restore security to the citizens of Israel, to bring home the hostages, and to achieve the objectives of the war while operating by international law.

“During the fighting in the Gaza Strip, suspects of terrorist activities were arrested. The relevant suspects have been taken for further detention and questioning in Israel. Those who are not involved in terrorist activity are released back to the Gaza Strip as soon as possible.”

The IDF says that it provides each detainee with clothing, a mattress, regular food and drink, and that they have access to medical care. It said that handcuffing of detainees occurs in accordance with IDF policies. It was aware of incidents where people had died in detention and that investigations were conducted for each of these deaths.

“The IDF acts in accordance with Israeli and international law in order to protect the rights of the detainees held in the detention and questioning facilities,” it said.

For the families of those doctors who have disappeared into detention, the absence of information about their loved ones is a daily agony.

In December, the Israeli authorities faced international condemnation for the arrest of paediatrician Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan hospital in Gaza’s Jabaliya refugee camp, who was last seen in Israeli drone footage in his white coat walking through the rubble of his hospital towards a line of Israeli tanks. His family say he was held in the notorious Sde Teiman detention camp. The Israeli authorities say they suspect him of being a Hamas militant.

A lawyer representing Abu Safiya was last week allowed to visit the doctor in Ofer prison for the first time and said Abu Safiya had been tortured, beaten and denied medical treatment.

“We are deeply worried about his fate as he was already injured [when he was detained],” says his son Elyas Abu Safiya, who has been campaigning for his release. “We are living in a state of shock.”

Dr Ahmad Mhanna, head of al-Awda hospital in northern Gaza, has been in Israeli detention for more than one year without charge.

Last November, Mhanna was able to dictate a letter to his family.

In it, he tells his wife: “I miss you so much and I am waiting for the moment I can see you and the children. I have so many plans for us to do together once I am out of prison.

“I want you to stay strong. I know the burden is heavy but you can handle it, I have complete faith in you. I love you very much.”

Since he was released from detention, Abu Ajwa has not managed to fix his broken teeth but has gone back to work in Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.

“As for the interrogator who was determined to make me lose sensation in my hands, I say: ‘no matter what you do … I am a doctor, and I will practice my profession. I will always continue, until my last breath, to be in the operating theatre.”

Mondoweiss: Newly released Epstein files reveal further ties to Israel

February 4, 2026/2 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Newly released Epstein files reveal further ties to Israel

The release of more Jeffrey Epstein files reveals further connections between the late, convicted sex criminal and the state of Israel.

The release of more than 3 million new files connected to the late Jeffrey Epstein reveals further connections between the convicted sex criminal and the state of Israel.

Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, is mentioned numerous times in the files, with him and his wife seemingly maintaining a close relationship with the financier long after he pled guilty of sex crimes in 2008.

In a September 2016 email sent amid the presidential race, Barak informs Epstein that Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton was set to be interviewed by Israel’s Channel-2 and wonders if Epstein could inquire whether eventual President Donald Trump would have interest in being interviewed by rival station, Channel-10.

Barak tells Epstein that the Trump interview would attract a “huge percentage of Israelis and most U.S. citizens in Israel.”

The Department of Justice also released audio of a February 2013 conversation between the two men, in which Epstein tells Barak to “check out” the controversial analytics company Palantir.

“I’ve never met Peter Thiel,” Epstein tells Barak, referencing the right-wing billionaire who founded the company. “And everybody says he sort of jumps around and acts really strange, like he’s on drugs,” Epstein tells Barak of the co-founder of Palantir, with the former Israeli prime minister agreeing.”

“However, he has a company called Palantir… so he thought that Peter would put you on the board of Palantir… he’s going to come here next week so I wanted to talk to him, if I talk to you,” he continues.

Another email reveals that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought Epstein’s advice on arranging a diplomatic trip to Israel in 2017.

“Modi’s highly publicized visit to Tel Aviv—featuring unusually warm personal interactions with Israeli leaders—was widely read as a signal that India was openly embracing a U.S.–Israel–India strategic axis, particularly in defense, technology, and intelligence cooperation,” notes Drop Site News.

Epstein’s intervention had been requested by Indian billionaire and Modi ally Anil Ambani. Ambani told Epstein that leadership was requesting meetings with members of Trump’s inner circle, including Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon, ahead of the Modi meeting.

After the visit, Epstein emailed an individual he referred to as “Jabor Y” about the visit. “The Indian Prime minister modi took advice. and danced and sang in Israel for the benefit of the US president. they had met a few weeks ago.. IT WORKED. !,” he wrote.

The same day he wrote to Ambani, “Your guys performance was both clever and executed well. Good work.”

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs dismissed Epstein’s analysis in a statement.

“Beyond the fact of the Prime Minister’s official visit to Israel in July 2017, the rest of the allusions in the email are little more than trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal, which deserve to be dismissed with the utmost contempt,” said spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

Another document seemingly reveals a plot to seize Libya’s frozen assets, months after Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi was ousted in a NATO-backed coup. The Epstein associate who sent the email suggests seeking support for the endeavor from MI6 and Mossad agents.

The email states that roughly $80 billion in Libyan funds were believed to be frozen, including nearly $33 billion in the U.S.

“And it is estimated that the real number is somewhere between three to four times this number in sovereign, stolen and misappropriated assets,” reads the email. “If we can identify/recover 5 percent to 10 percent of these monies and receive 10 percent to 25 percent as compensation we are talking about billions of dollars.”

“But the real carrot is if we can become their go-to guys because they plan to spend at least $100 billion next year to rebuild their country and jump start the economy,” it continues.

Pro-Israel U.S. groups also make appearances in the newly released files.

These include Harvard University’s Hillel group, which sought donations from Epstein in 2010 and 2011. In May 2010, then-Hillel president Bernie Steinberg wrote Epstein a letter thanking him for his “support of Harvard Hillel and the Harvard Jewish community during this important moment in history” and asked him to make additional contributions.

“The emails add to a growing paper trail linking Epstein to organizations and individuals connected to Harvard beyond the point at which the University said it cut financial ties,” notes the Harvard Crimson.

In recent months, multiple reporters have uncovered links between Israel and Epstein, including an ongoing Drop Site News series that focuses on his connections to Israeli intelligence. However, these facts are often omitted from mainstream coverage of the disgraced financier.

In December, Mondoweiss founder Phil Weiss wrote about a lengthy New York Times investigation on Epstein’s rise that ignored Israel’s role.

“Love of Israel was a lead criterion for inclusion in Epstein’s circle,” wrote Weiss. “I don’t think Epstein’s ‘marks’ were even fooled by him. They knew he was a conman who played fast and loose. But they also knew that the Israel lobby has a need for charmers who break the rules, so they looked the other way.”
