The release of the latest tranche of three million Epstein documents by the U.S. Department of Justice has hit the City of London establishment with a devastating blow, threatening to topple the Starmer government, while forcing City of London bankers to scramble to head off a bond crisis. The resignation of Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, was followed today by the resignation of his Director of Communications, Tim Allan.
There are signs that the political storm set off by the release of documents will escalate, including the news that members of Starmer’s cabinet rushed to release a statement of support for him, asserting that he will not resign. The head of the Scottish Labour Party, Anas Sarwar, called on Starmer to step down, while it is reported that London bookies are being deluged with calls to place bets on when he will go. Already last Friday, the Editorial Board of the Financial Times called on alternative leaders to Starmer “to start building a credible case that they would do a better job” or Starmer’s ouster could “spook the restive bond markets.”
This drama demonstrates that the Epstein affair is not simply about sexual abuse of young girls, and using them to potentially blackmail their abusers, though holding to account those who engage in such Satanic perversion has been a catalyst for action. Going deeper, one finds that the sexual immorality is matched by the abuse of power of those associated with Epstein, spilling over into strategic and financial policy. Many of the establishment figures whose names will now be forever linked with Epstein have been instrumental in geopolitical provocations in defense of the dying Unipolar Order.
The scandal of Lord Peter Mandelson and his cohorts is an example of this. Mandelson and McSweeney are part of the Tony Blair machine, which came to power in 1997. Blair played a lead role in undermining international law with his advocacy of rejecting the principle of the Peace of Westphalia, to justify military action in defense of the phony “Rules-Based Order.” When he left government, he set up the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI), which promoted the advancement of tech solutions, such as artificial intelligence, to be funded through public-private partnerships. Toward this end, he worked together with Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison, who contributed nearly $260 million to TBI. Ellison’s other passion is support for Zionist extremists and their Greater Israel policy. His advocacy of AI and Zionism made him an ally of Jeffrey Epstein. Ellison attended meetings with Epstein, which focused on tech transfer to Israel. Mandelson, whose resignation was forced due to his attempt to cover-up his relationship with Epstein, worked closely with McSweeney to turn the Labour Party into a pro-Zionist party. They smeared former Labour chairman Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-semite, which opened the door for Starmer to become Prime Minister. McSweeney had been Deputy Press Secretary for Blair, beginning in 1994.
The release of the files has sparked a growing movement in the U.S. demanding transparency to discover the crimes associated with Epstein, and accountability for those crimes. The same sentiment is building in the U.K. In the two hours it took to write this article, the odds cited that Starmer will soon be gone have nearly doubled!
