Only in fiction do billionaire playboys use their fortunes and talents to fight crime and deal out vigilante justice. In reality, at least one of them uses his powerful position for vain, petty, and psychopathic purposes.

In this case, investment banker Jeffrey Epstein ran an international pedophilia network which trafficked girls as young as 12 for sex with the American and British elite class.

Epstein’s pedophile network is alleged to included Prince Andrew, Epstein’s lawyer, the daughter of a disgraced publishing mogul (and probable Mossad asset), and the owner of a modeling agency. Many others are expected to come to light in the future. Bill Clinton was even present at some of the parties that Epstein held on his private island. Interestingly, this story has blown up in the British media, but the American press has been almost completely silent on the matter. Perhaps it has something to do with Hillary Clinton and her expected run at the next presidential elections.

As it turns out, Epstein was also running a robust blackmail operation. By providing underaged sex slaves to British and American elites, he was able to make secret recordings of some of these encounters, holding them for blackmail purposes. What this could mean to Hillary Clinton’s presidential nomination is unclear.

More than 40 victims have been identified in Epstein’s pedo-trafficking network. It is a scandal that should shake America and force us to wake up to the reality of human trafficking, but the unfortunate reality is that this story, like so many others, will simply fade away.

It has to because too many powerful people are involved, with too much at stake for a criminal prosecution to ever take place. If you have enough money, you can pretty much do whatever you want, even to America’s children.

The Network

The network is outlined in the legal paperwork filed by one of the victims, Jane Doe #3, real name Virginia Roberts. Her life follows a pattern of abuse: “A close family friend has sexually abused me, and I was on the streets at 13 years old,” she told her lawyers. Soon after that, “I was picked up by a 67-year-old man named Ron Eppinger who did exactly what Jeffrey did with me: abuse and violate my youthfulness.”

Virginia was only 15 when her father drove her to a “job interview” for a masseuse position at Epstein’s Palm Beach, Florida mansion. After landing the job, her father would then drive her to work every day. The background behind this story is highly questionable considering what we now know. It sounds like her father was pimping her out. The notion that Epstein and his high-powered friends jet-setted around the world with a 15-year-old girl to give them massages is simply too ridiculous for any serious person to believe.

Virginia claims that she was used and abused as Epstein’s sex slave. Apparently, he had a harem of girls that he groomed, sexually abused, and trafficked across international borders to service the rich and famous. Many of them were groomed from Royal Palm Beach High School. Epstein is reported to have coached other young victims, including Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, and Nadia Marcinkova to find him more underaged girls, who would then schedule several “massages” for him each day.

However, it appears that Epstein’s actual madam was Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of disgraced publishing mogul Robert Maxwell and a possible Mossad asset. Maxwell would target impoverished girls who needed money and groom them as prostitutes for Epstein and his friends. Virginia also says that Maxwell would engage in sex acts with her and the other underaged girls she recruited.

Also said to be serviced by Epstein’s pedophilia network was his lawyer, Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz is well known in legal circles for representing everyone from Mike Tyson to Patty Hearst. Since Virginia’s allegations that Dershowitz sexually abused her, he has threatened to file a massive defamation suit against her. Virginia’s lawyers say that not only did he partake is sex acts with minors, he also ran top cover for Epstein and helped him escape the most damning federal criminal charges outlined in the legal complaint from Virginia’s lawyers:

Dershowitz would later play a significant role in negotiating the NPA on Epstein’s behalf. Indeed, Dershowitz helped negotiate an agreement that provided immunity from federal prosecution in the Southern District of Florida not only to Epstein, but also to ‘any potential co-conspirators of Epstein.’ NPA at 5. Thus, Dershowitz helped negotiate an agreement with a provision that provided protection for himself against criminal prosecution in Florida for sexually abusing Jane Doe #3. Because this broad immunity would have been controversial if disclosed, Dershowitz (along with other members of Epstein’s defense team) and the Government tried to keep the immunity provision secret from all of Epstein’s victims and the general public, even though such secrecy violated the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.”

It should be noted that Virginia is not the only Jane Doe noted in the legal documents, but just one of five making allegations against Epstein.

Virginia also claims that Epstein was gifted several 12-year-old girls for his birthday. “Jeffrey bragged after he met them that they were 12-year-olds flown over from France because they’re really poor over there, and their parents needed the money or whatever the case is and they were absolutely free to stay and flew out.”

Also assisting in Epstein’s network was Jean Luc Brunel, the owner and operator of a model scouting agency called MC2. Brunel has come under fire in the past for being a creep who sexually abused young girls at his modeling agency. Michael Gross’ book “Model” describes his past activities:

“Jean-Luc is considered a danger,” says Jérôme Bonnouvrier. “Owning Karins was a dream for a playboy. His problem is that he knows exactly what girls in trouble are looking for. He’s always been on the edge of the system. John Casablancas gets with girls the healthy way. Girls would be with him if he was the butcher. They’re with Jean-Luc because he’s the boss. Jean-Luc likes drugs and silent rape. It excites him.”

60 Minutes did a piece on Brunel in which numerous former models at his agency claimed that he molested them. Brunel seems to have a specialty in “discovering” 14-year-old models.

Epstein and his clique of pedophiles also flew the underaged girls to his private island for orgies. Little St. James Island is off the coast of St. Thomas in the Caribbean, where Epstein maintains a residence and guest houses. Flight manifests have recently surfaced demonstrating that the girls were in fact flown to the island on his private jet, sometimes listed by name and other times simply listed as “female” passengers.

Virginia has charged that Epstein pimped her out to prominent individuals including a prime minister and a world-renowned scientist. Former President Bill Clinton and several scientists were present for parties on Epstein’s island. However, Virginia has gone on the record to clarify that she never had sex with Bill Clinton or witnessed him having sexual relations with anyone else.

One of the parties that Epstein hosted on his private island.

Disturbingly, Epstein, who bills himself as a philanthropist, has sponsored a number of youth initiatives in the Virgin Islands, as well as charter schools, a junior tennis league, a high school French club, and other programs in America involving children, all of which would help provide access to minors for Epstein—a registered sex offender.

Industrial-scale Blackmail

Epstein’s pedo-network wasn’t simply for sexual services, though; it also had certain fringe benefits, such as acquiring leverage over the high-powered men who also liked to rape teenage girls. Palm Beach police are said to have recovered photographs at his residence and discovered that the property was wired with cameras. Virginia Roberts believes that the FBI has recovered video tapes of Epstein and his friends having sex with underaged girls.

Epstein also trafficked Jane Doe #3 for sexual purposes to many other powerful men, including numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known Prime Minister, and other world leaders. Epstein required Jane Doe #3 to describe the events that she had with these men so that he could potentially blackmail them.” (page 6, legal doc)

Epstein not only protected himself from legal repercussions down the road by recording powerful politicians in compromising positions, but perhaps was even able to coerce his own lawyer and who knows who else with such videotapes.

>>5826110

“Epstein also sexually trafficked the then-minor Jane Doe, making her available for sex to politically-connected and financially-powerful people. Epstein’s purposes in ‘lending’ Jane Doe (along with other young girls) to such powerful people were to ingratiate himself with them for business, personal, political, and financial gain, as well as to obtain potential blackmail information.” (page 4, legal doc)

As sick as Epstein’s pedophile network is, the importance of blackmail material derived from these activities should not be ignored. Any intelligence service in the world would love to run such a honey pot trap against powerful American and British nationals. The amount of leverage this creates cannot be understated.

Elite Deviancy

Rarely covered in political science circles, elite deviancy plays a hidden role in the world’s power structures. Perhaps it is premature to put so much weight on the Epstein network, however this is far from the first such scandal that has ensnared the power elite.

Lawrence King

In the 1980s, the so-called Franklin Cover-up involved prominent Republicans in Nebraska. The investigation centered around Lawrence King, who operated the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union. That investigation stalled when allegations arose that foster children were being flown to Washington D.C. for sex parties.

In Holland, the Dutroix Affair exposed a particularly sadistic ring of pedophiles. Their pimp was Marc Dutriox. “Two of his alleged victims—Melissa Russo and Julie Lejeune, both eight—were sexually abused and tortured in makeshift dungeons in metal cages in his basement.”

The police investigation into Marc Dutriox can politely be described as incompetent. Perhaps complicit is the better term to use here. “Unbelievably, police also searched his house when Julie and Melissa were cowering in cages in his basement but failed to find them. They heard screaming but chose to believe Dutroux, who told them it must have been children playing outside.”

Witnesses suddenly committed suicide in this bizarre case, one in which Dutriox is suspected to have pimped prepubescent girls to policemen and politicians alike. The prosecution was stalled and nothing really came of any of it.

Marc Dutriox

Britain had the Jersey Island scandal. The Haut de la Garenne orphanage on Jersey Island was used as a stock of children for pedophiles to pick and choose from, and a police investigation led to the conviction of several members of the staff. Media personality Jimmy Savile was implicated by the press during the course of the investigation, an accusation he tried to sue The Sun newspaper over.

While there had been claims that he was a pedophile dating back to the ’60s, it wasn’t until after his death that hundreds of people came forward to charge him with sexual abuse. Some of them were from the orphanage in Jersey Island.

Jimmy Savile

What really defies any kind of reason is not that these crimes happened, but rather that so many people knew about them for so long without the abuse coming to national attention and law enforcement making arrests much earlier on. This implies that the legal and law-enforcement system itself is fundamentally flawed, or that politicians, prosecutors, and law enforcement are corrupt or complicit in said crimes.

When you look at people like Jeffrey Epstein, Jimmy Sevile, or Jerry Sandusky, the number of their victims is staggering, as is the number of witnesses who kept their mouths shut for so long. Why is it that these scandals erupt from time to time, implicate extremely powerful people, and then they just fade away?

S_2364464b

Jerry Sandusky

Is it because all of the witnesses and victims are lying? Or rather, is it because these scandals are used as leverage by one political faction against another? We can only speculate as to what kind of subterfuge could be at play, but it is fair to say that Hillary Clinton must have serious concerns as to any videotapes that Epstein may have in his possession, sold to a third party, or has had confiscated as evidence by the FBI. Revelations such as this during the presidential primaries would torpedo her political ambitions.

>>5826115

For instance, a “whistle-blower” recently leaked files to The Guardian after they left their job at the Hong Kong-Shanghai Banking Corporation. It turns out that Jeffrey Epstein also donated 25,000 dollars to the Clinton’s charitable foundation. The lines between politics, information warfare, information weapons, and blackmail have never been less clear.

Do these scandals fade away because they are false, because the blackmail has been completed, or is it because some people and some institutions are just so powerful that they really are too big to fail? It is unlikely we will ever know, because like Jersey Island, the Franklin Cover-Up, and the Dutroix Affair, witnesses will be silenced, protection will be bought, investigations will be botched, and the entire episode will simply fade into the dark.

Throughout the ongoing Prince Andrew sex scandal there has been speculation as to the involvement of former President Bill Clinton. The tabloid press are happy to note the number of times he was on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet. They gleefully wonder how this will impact Hillary Clinton's latest presidential bid. The mainstream media dutifully reports Epstein's previous conviction for soliciting child prostitution, but do not give his whole history. That history is as intertwined with the intelligence community and organized crime as it is with the fashion world and royalty. Where it all meets is not on a private island, Palm Springs or London, but Columbus Ohio.

In 2003 The Columbus Free Press reported that Jeffrey Epstein had “recently loaned his jet to Bill Clinton.” The mainstream media did not trumpet this older connection between Clinton and Epstein when the latter was arrested in 2007 nor did it speculate loudly on it's possible impact on Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential bid. Epstein's companion Ghislaine Maxwell, who is alleged to have procured pubescents for the prince, was also mentioned along with the death of her father, publisher Robert Maxwell. Multiple sources, including noted investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, allege that the elder Maxwell was a long time asset of Israeli intelligence.

The portrait painted of Epstein prior to his prosecution for pandering is peculiar. He made a fortune managing the money of Les Wexner. In 2009 Epstein's phone book was released on the internet. Bill Clinton's name is not in it. Wexner's name is there with individual listings for multiple residences and vehicles. There are also two separate phone numbers listed as “command center.”

Epstein had his own phone numbers listed in the same book presumably in case his butler, who tried to sell the book to an undercover FBI agent, needed to reach him. There are two separate listing for phones in an “armored Mercedes”. There are also two phone numbers listed for “guest Mercedes.” It is not clear from the phone book if this means there are two armored Mercedes and two unarmored Mercedes in case a guest needs one or if the vehicles each had two phones or some combination thereof.

Jeff Epstein's boss has a secret command center in the Columbus area. Epstein has an armored Mercedes with two phones or two armored Mercedes. His girlfriend's father is alleged to have smuggled weapons to Israel and now he and said girlfriend are accused of providing teenage sex slaves to a member of the British Royal Family. Why the tabloids have not linked all these publicly documented facts together might have something to do with their being owned by his friends. Epstein's phone book proves he has many friends in media and government. The Mockingbird will examine all 98 pages for more persons of interest in the coming weeks.

The 2003 Free Press article touched on Wexner providing money and PR support to build the case for the Iraq War. It was too early 2003 to conclusively say that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. In the lead up to the war a massive intelligence effort was tasked with providing evidence suggesting these programed existed to assist PR campaigns like the one Wexner was privately running.

While Epstein was managing Wexner's money it would have been hard for him not to notice that the latter's company was importing clothing from Hon Kong on an airline run by the CIA. Southern Air Transport has a long history of drug smuggling going back to Vietnam era. It's regularly scheduled flights from Hon Kong for The Limited were the cornerstone of the local development push to convert Rickenbacker Air Base to Rickenbacker Airport in the 1990s. Southern Air Transport also operated the C-123 Globemaster that was shot down in Nicaragua, an event which touched off the Iran-Contra revelations.

At the same time that Rickenbacker became a transport hub for cargo carried by CIA backed airline that was both known to smuggle drugs and involved in the Iran-Contra affair, Wexner's connections to organized crime were named in a Columbus Police intelligence report. A trucking company linked to the mob was also named in that report. That trucking company carried up thirty percent of The Limited's ground cargo. The CIA handled the air cargo, the mob handled the ground cargo and Epstein balanced the books. This peculiar set of business arrangements seem to shed light on the need for multiple armored Mercedes and phones that go to command centers.

Southern Air Transport ran into money trouble and it's route was taken over by Evergreen Aviation, which also had a history of connection to the CIA. Evergreen, despite it's own recent financial problems, still keeps one Boeing 747 in Columbus and still maintains regular service to Hon Kong. The only terminal that can serve that aircraft is owned by Landmark Aviation.

Landmark Aviation's core business is fixed base operations, or FBOs. An FBO is a sort of private air terminal, fueling and maintenance facility for charter, business and private aircraft. Some FBOs are very bare bones. Landmark's Columbus FBO is a posh facility with showers, conference rooms, a dedicated concierge and even its own Customs Inspection.

Landmark Aviation was alleged to have been the FBO of choice for the CIA's extraordinary rendition program, known as the “torture taxi.” Under that program, people were kidnapped, flown to black sites around the globe and tortured for months or years. European governments were aware of this program and some even issued arrest warrants for CIA officers involved.

Landmark Aviation cleaned up it's image somewhat since the revelations. It was sold and split with FBO operations being put into trusteeship. One of those trustees was former CIA director James Slesinger. It was later sold to the Bush family friendly Carlyle Group.

Landmark Aviation took over it's Columbus Customs facility from Lane Aviation less than a year after the latter opened it in partnership with former. Epstein's phone book listed Lane Aviation as the sole FBO in Columbus. It is not known if he still uses it, but Landmark's facility does have more posh amenities fit for billionaires, princes, presidents and spies.

The allegations being leveled against Epstein include trafficking minors for sex across international boundaries. The logistics of getting a minor across a border for such purposes would be much less complicated with the help of a Customs facility located in a friendly private facility operated by a company familiar with covert operations and making people disappear. Epstein is clearly no stranger to navigating that social space. Landmark even offers valet parking for the armored Mercedes.

Taking one step back to look beyond Florida and another step back to look into history and one views a different picture. It is of a billionaire and a spy's daughter providing minors for sex to very important people in a house full of cameras. That same billionaire has an armored Mercedes, a friend with a command center, business relations with multiple CIA backed airlines, connections to the mob, many friends in the media and was associated with the false PR that lead to the Iraq war. This should have more bearing on Hillary Clinton's election prospects than the recent location of her husband's cigars.
