Epstein files, Mossad and Kompromat diplomacy

Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted child abuser, accused sex trafficker, and Mossad agent, mysteriously committed suicide in 2019 in a high-security US prison cell while under suicide watch

Once again, it became evident this week that the Israeli prime minister is effectively the president of the United States when it comes to the Middle East. Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House—his third visit during President Donald Trump’s second term—ostensibly to discuss the Gaza crisis, the aftermath of the Iran war, and the so-called Abraham Accords, among other issues.
Judging by statements from both the US political establishment and Netanyahu—during and after his talks with Trump and top officials this week—it appears that the Israeli prime minister’s visit was primarily a warning: the United States cannot impose any deal on Israel. It is Israel—not the United States—that will determine what serves its interests. Unlike Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Netanyahu was not there to be publicly humiliated. The reverence with which US presidents engage with Israel suggests the Zionist state holds sway over American leadership. It is this grip that remains ironclad—not the US-Israeli relationship that American politicians, beholden to the Zionist establishment, often praise.
Why can’t the US stand on the right side of history? Why can’t it uphold global justice? Why can’t it give Netanyahu the Zelensky treatment? Why is its foreign policy—especially in the Middle East—so immoral and repugnant? Beyond the pro-Zionist Scofield Bible’s influence on evangelical Christians—who form a significant part of the US vote bank—and apart from Zionist billionaires’ donations to presidential candidates, political bribes to Congress members with blemished conscience, and America’s own geopolitical interests in the region, one factor looms even larger in policymaking: blackmail. Yes, Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, plays its part. Its tentacles reach far and wide. It is the beast.
It is no coincidence that Netanyahu’s visit to the White House came amidst the growing controversy over what is referred to as the Epstein Files. Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad spy. Together with Ghislaine Maxwell—daughter of Zionist media mogul Robert Maxwell—he ran a child sex-trafficking network on a private island in the Caribbean Sea near the US Virgin Islands. Ghislaine was convicted in December 2021 for sex trafficking and is serving a 20-year prison term.
Many high-profile individuals visited Epstein’s island and other resorts and sexually abused underage girls. Among them was Britain’s Prince Andrew.
A victim, Virginia Giuffre, claimed that Epstein and Maxwell forced her to have sex with Prince Andrew on three occasions when she was 17 years old—legally still a child. She filed a lawsuit in 2014 and a civil suit in 2021. The civil suit was settled out of court, with Andrew agreeing to pay an undisclosed sum to a charity Giuffre had founded to support victims like herself.
To twist a Shakespearean title, hers is a case of “all’s not well that ends well.” In what is becoming an increasingly familiar way of silencing scandals involving the rich and powerful, Giuffre was found dead at her farm in Western Australia in April last year. Was it suicide—or merely made to look like one? Her supporters insist it was murder, much like the alleged silencing of Princess Diana by the British establishment.
Apart from Prince Andrew, it is claimed that Epstein’s clientele included US and global leaders—some allegedly involved in drug use. They reportedly engaged in sexual acts with minors, only to be secretly recorded and blackmailed by Mossad. This is called kompromat diplomacy in the spy world. It is a Russian word, meaning “compromising material” that can be used to blackmail and manipulate a targeted individual. There were media reports in 2016, during Trump’s campaign for his first presidential term, that Russians had gathered kompromat on Trump. According to Christopher Steele, a former British (MI6) intel officer, Russian intel officers had secretly taped Trump’s orgy in a Moscow hotel. It is alleged Russians are using the tape—named Pee Tape—to keep Trump in check. However, in the absence of solid evidence, the Pee Tape Kompromat has been dismissed. Well, judging by the soft manner in which Trump deals with Russia, one is inclined to believe Steele’s claim.
No intelligence agency operates more freely within the United States than Mossad. In many countries, Mossad and US intelligence services collaborate based on the understanding that American and Israeli interests often converge. Yet, they also diverge. However, because of Israel’s special status, the US appears willing to overlook stabs in the back—such as in the case of Jonathan Pollard, an American surveillance analyst who passed highly sensitive intelligence to Israel. Despite the betrayal, the Americans continue to pamper the war criminal—Israel.
The assassination attempt on Trump during the 2024 election campaign serves as a recent example. A suspect was arrested, and Iran was blamed. This week, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian accused Israel of staging the plot to incriminate Iran. It’s not that US investigators failed to apply the basic criminological method of cui bono—who benefits—to zero in on a suspect. They probably did and may have found signs of Israeli involvement.
But Israel is different. It can kill American citizens at will and still go unpunished, as the 1967 attack on the US Navy ship Liberty illustrates. Thirty-four American sailors perished in that incident. In deference to Israel, the US establishment imposed a gag order on the survivors, preventing them from publicly sharing their account—which contradicts Israel’s flimsy claim that the attack was a case of mistaken identity.
This week, the Trump administration’s reversal of its earlier promise to reveal the Epstein files—now claiming there is no Epstein client list—shocked truth-seeking journalists and activists determined to expose the swamp that the US establishment has become. It was only last year that a federal judge ordered the release of the file, said to contain names of Epstein associates, alleged recruiters, and enablers. The files also contain flight logs from Epstein’s private jets (Lolita Express), showing trips by politicians, billionaires, and celebrities. US presidents Bill Clinton and Trump were among them. Some of these files remain sealed and redacted. 
On Tuesday, a visibly agitated Trump gaslit a journalist who raised difficult questions at a cabinet press briefing, redirecting the inquiry to Attorney General Pam Bondi. She flatly denied the existence of a client list and evaded further questions from the journalist, who sought clarification on the missing minute in the surveillance footage from the high-security prison cell where Epstein hanged himself, despite being under suicide watch.
Responding to the administration’s denial was Trump’s former admirer—and now adversary—billionaire Elon Musk. Attorney General Bondi, however, later admitted that a file was on her desk containing child pornographic material and said it would therefore not be released.
Musk tweeted, “How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?” That same day, his AI tool Grok temporarily went offline amid fears it might publish the files in response to a prompt.
The Epstein saga tells us there is more to the story than meets the eye. Thanks to lively debates and discussions on social media, Americans—including Trump’s MAGA supporters, especially the young and the freethinkers—have begun to question the official narrative. Yet America’s tragedy lies in its vast voter population that continues to elect presidents and legislators lacking moral rectitude, as they shamelessly defend Israel’s genocide in Gaza and other horrendous war crimes.
