The Epstein-Maxwell data has been released precisely when we see world governments failing to lift a finger to restrain Israel.

The syndicate would like you to believe that since Jeffrey is dead and Ghislaine's in jail, the blackmail operation has been halted — when clearly it is in full swing.

“Well, he’s dead now,” said Bill Gates when asked of his connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

The release of names does not mean those listed were participants in sex acts or were blackmailed. They may have been handlers or facilitators or informants or innocents. Former Israeli prime minister and defence minister Ehud Barak is named, as is prominent U.S. lawyer Alan Dershowitz.

It is easy to forget that only two years ago Ghislaine Maxwell was tried and few victims were named, and no perpetrators. The media was uninterested.

Media silence, half truths and limited hangouts are a hallmark of this story.

The new data release is limited, mostly confirming names that were previously known to the public.

The Bills — Gates and Clinton — the princes, actors and magicians, remain a diversion. They obscure the purpose and the method.

The young ladies, while acknowledging their suffering, are trooped across the stage as a distraction from deeper objectives: industrial and military espionage, access to data and systems of control, cybernetics, and research around eugenics.

The mechanism of control is not the big names but the less glamorous people, the owners of corporations who generate the cash flow and, on the flip side, the muscle of organised crime.

Big bequests to universities are a way to influence appointments and gain access to research and development. Jeffrey Epstein was welcomed into the highest social circles in New York, Hollywood, and Palm Beach. These wealthy social networks, whose luminaries sit on university boards of trustees, finance research institutes, and run newspaper and television companies, were his bread and butter.

Experimentation sometimes requires live subjects, thus the exploits of the Epstein-Maxwell operation intersected, at the margins, with countries and agencies that traffic in humans and organs.

Blind eye

Gustave Le Bon:

"The masses have never thirsted for the truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error... Whoever can supply them with illusions is… their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim."

Perhaps each of us has his capacity for illusion and his limit for truth. Perhaps we don't want to see beneath the surface reflections of the Epstein-Maxwell pool.

A frequent narrative in the Alt Media argues that Israeli intel agency Mossad is NOT the dominant feature of the Epstein story. This argues that Mossad should be a peripheral interest because any Israeli blackmail and influence operation that may have occurred was a sideline.

Their first evidence is that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's long-time collaborator and likely his brains and handler, is the daughter of Robert Maxwell who worked for three or even four different intelligence agencies: Mossad, the CIA, British intel and possibly also the KGB.

The second claim is that Epstein's financing came from the fortune of Les Wexner, founder of Victoria's Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch, who in turn was connected to Iran Contra, the CIA's arms-for-drugs operation under president Ronald Reagan. Thus he must have been in bed with the American deep state.

This view rests on the assumption that Mossad, the CIA and the British Secret Intelligence Service are unrelated organisations, when in truth they share a common imperial origin.

Consider that British banking interests were opposed to American home-grown industrialists and monetarists, those behind the Revolution and later the Civil War.

A boisterous commonroom of journalists and historians is employed to disguise these simple facts. They coalesce, as they did in 2016 behind Hillary Clinton to reinvent the "Civil War as battle against slavery" in order to distract from president Barack Obama, candidate Hillary and the Democratic Party's very obvious service to Wall Street and the warfare industry.

Likewise the creation of Israel did not result from a spontaneous "letter to a Rothschild" but from the centuries-long plotting of the Cecil, Rothschild clique that ran British politics. The Balfour Declaration was actually drafted by one of their servants who strategised imperial policy, Alfred Milner, a fellow of their servant Cecil Rhodes.

Stolen promise

One heavily-promoted alt media maven doing the rounds this week pooh-poohed the fact that Robert Maxwell received practically an Israeli state funeral.

He even claimed that Maxwell's body had not been autopsied — and thus that its whisking to Israel for burial could not have been a sign of a coverup. That is trying to have your cake and eat it; even the denial is self-contradictory.

As a reporter for Sky News I doorstepped Maxwell's sons in 1991, seeking a comment from the distraught Kevin, and reviewed the tapes of Maxwell's autopsy. This found that he had not died by drowning; that there were blows to his body; and that he had been killed first then thrown overboard from his yacht, the Ghislaine.

Lest any evidence fall into the wrong hands the yacht, originally built for Emad Khashoggi, nephew of the arms dealer Adnan and cousin to Princess Diana's tragic flame Dodi Fayed, was later sold to Anna Murdoch, married until 1999 to Rupert, and mother to the present generation running the media business: Lachlan, James and Elizabeth. The boat was renamed the Dancing Hare, or jackrabbit — in mythology a trickster or a symbol of luck; a harbinger of wealth, often depicted holding a sack of coins; or the herder of livestock, prospering form fertility and fortune.

The funeral was attended by president Chaim Herzog, father of Israel's current president Isaac Herzog, who said: "He scaled the heights of human endeavor. Kings and princes waited on him."

Prime minister Yitzhak Shamir declared in the Hall of the People that Maxwell “has done more for Israel than can today be said.”

That included orchestrating the kidnapping of Mordechai Vanunu after the scientist revealed Israel's clandestine nuclear weapons programme.

Agents of change

It is true that after working for the British Army, Maxwell (name changed from Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch) was given his start with a publishing company Butterworth-Springer then controlled by British intelligence — just as Springer in Germany has always been linked with the CIA.

By putting intel operatives in charge of publishers, they became change agents in the post-war competition between the U.S. and USSR to pillage Germany's scientific expertise. They would become gatekeepers, shaping the post-war narrative but also deciding who becomes a prominent voice or influencer. It works the same in the media, both state-corporate and alt, today.

Epstein's technique of throwing parties for scientists — the more dorky the better — with the intention of winning friends and influencing people, was pioneered by Maxwell at his re-branded Pergamon Press.

Robert was the quintessential handler. He used his journalists at The Daily Mirror, which he owned from 1984 until his death in 1991, as a private intelligence service.

He used his IT companies to market the PROMIS (Prosecutors Management Information Systems) software, which Israeli military intelligence had stolen and bugged, so that it would find its way to more than 80 countries and numerous technical and nuclear institutions.

Maxwell's contact in the PROMIS case was Israeli spy chief Rafael Eitan, the handler of Jonathan Pollard. See Martin Dillon & Gordon Thomas, ‘The Assassination of Robert Maxwell: Israel’s Super Spy’ (2002).

When the Internet age arrived, Maxwell's daughters would appear at crucial junctures — Isabel founding one of the first search engines, Magellan; and a successor to PROMIS in the natural language search technology software Chiliad used by the FBI for terrorism intelligence.

Polly St George brought the research up to date in the video age with her finely-researched series.

Silver or lead

Set aside the actors, billionaires and bunny girls: the technique is to put compromised but instrumental people in positions where they can be used to advance the intel agenda, answering ultimately to those agencies bosses, the owner-investors and bankers.

Part one continues after the break.
