The arrest on February 19 of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor—formerly known as Prince Andrew—at the royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England, shines a bright spotlight on the source of evil degeneracy which has been associated with the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. While much of the focus of the mass media has until recently been on the perverse behavior of Epstein, a convicted sex offender, and the disgusting immorality of the circle of wealthy and powerful figures associated with him, evidence has emerged in the last weeks which confirms that he was, in reality, a minor figure in the mega-scandal. The stories of his abuse of young girls and his trafficking them to his associates are symptomatic of a profound moral collapse, especially in the nations of the self-proclaimed Global North.
As the ugliness of this story unfolds, the intent behind Epstein’s sexual blackmail is becoming clear: Contrary to the awe in which he is held by the swindler Steve Bannon, who breathlessly proclaimed him a “financial genius” in the video interviews he conducted with him in 2019, Epstein was a deployed and protected asset of financial and corporate oligarchs desperately scheming to preserve the power of a fading empire, centered in the City of London. It could be said that the disgusting stories of sexual perversion serve as a diversion from other crimes unleashed by the City’s oligarchs, including the economic thievery and looting by their cartels, and the mass murder of the wars they have launched on behalf of the collapsing Anglo-American empire.
Epstein’s cleverness and lack of morals led to his discovery by a succession of mentors, who saw him as a quick study who could work on their plan to eliminate sovereign nations and make them subordinate to a global, fascist empire. These mentors included Ace Greenberg of Bear Stearns, and Sir Douglas Leese, a British arms trafficker who introduced him to Iran-Contra figure Adnan Khashoggi, and to the notorious Robert Maxwell. Epstein’s training included trafficking arms, laundering money, evading regulators and taxes, and running Ponzi schemes, for private firms and operations run by various intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Israel’s Mossad.
The Maxwell connection put him in the middle of a circle of oligarchs seeking fame and fortune in service to the empire. Robert Maxwell (1923-1991) was a self-serving conniver, who embezzled more than 450 million pounds from the pension funds of the Mirror Group newspaper he bought in 1984. He used the publishing empire he built to integrate his family into the hybrid warfare domain of the UK military-industrial tech sector. He used the reputation of Pergamon Press as a credible publisher of scientific work to find a niche in the tech side of intelligence and military defense, enabling him to be involved in the illegal Israeli nuclear weapons program, and providing PROMIS software to Israel.
Maxwell’s twin daughters, Christine and Isabel, became multimillionaires as part of the dot-com bubble, with Isabel as a co-founder of the search engine Magellan. The youngest daughter, Ghislaine, now in federal prison in Texas, was not only involved in recruiting and grooming young girls for Epstein, but introducing him to royals and jet-setters in the London-Manhattan establishment.
Epstein Strikes It Rich
Jeffrey Epstein was thus a cog in the wheel of the global financial transformation after the death of President Kennedy, consolidated by the London coup against the pound [Nov. 1967] and then the dollar, which led to an end of the Bretton Woods system in 1971. Under the post-1973 floating exchange-rate system, the leading economies shifted from emphasis on physical economy to “innovative financing,” promoting privatization, securitization, deregulation, and “free trade”—which made nations dependent on the City of London financial center—and U.S. and NATO military interventions to keep nations subservient.
Epstein became wealthy due to several hundreds of millions of dollars given to him by his “employers”: Les Wexner, an entrepreneur enriched by his association with Meyer Lansky and the Zionist organized-crime networks of New York; and Leon Black, who made his fortune as a junk bond king, working with Michael Milken and Drexel Burnham. This enabled him to consolidate a network of “influentials,” including Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Arab princes, Zionist billionaires, and British royals.
The London Connection
The former Prince Andrew recalls that he first met Epstein in the early 1990s, while Lyn Forester de Rothschild claims to have introduced them a bit later. Whether it was Andrew’s out-of-control libido that cemented their relationship, or their mutual interest in profiting from arms trafficking, they soon had become regular companions. Andrew, like his brother Prince Charles, now the United Kingdom’s King Charles III, was engaged in arms sales. He worked for the UK Trade and Investment office (UKTI), and was identified by an opponent of the British arms trade as “the cheerleader-in-chief for the arms industry.” It is allegations of his “suspicious” dealings while at the UKTI that is part of the investigation cited in his arrest.
Trading arms was treated by the brothers as a “family business.” Before he became King, Prince Charles was described as “Charles of Arabia” for his personal role in 14.5 billion pounds of British arms exports to repressive monarchies after the Arab Spring in 2010-11. Much of the business went to countries which had been threatened by the uprisings of the Arab Spring, which MI6 and British NGOs played a role in instigating.
Experience in arms trafficking is something Andrew shared with Epstein, who was involved with some of the most notorious British arms traffickers. He had close-up experience with leading traffickers of the Empire, Leese and Khashoggi, and he bought the cocaine-and-arms cargo airline of Iran-Contra fame when he had the power of attorney for Wexner’s holdings.
That Andrew’s older brother Charles played an active role in selling arms may surprise some who believe that he was a spin-off of the pacifist flower children of the 1960s, since he was known to converse with flowers and was an advocate for Green policy. But Charles followed the lead of his father, Prince Philip Mountbatten, when it came to environmentalism. Like Philip, he was an avid Malthusian, who favored measures designed to reduce the world’s population.
AI, Andy and Mandy
Another area of investigation is likely to be Andrew’s relationship with contracts to high-tech defense firms. In the last phase of his life, Epstein became a fixer for tech and artificial intelligence (AI) companies, which have been incorporated into the military-industrial complex. In particular, he partnered with Ehud Barak, the former Prime Minister of Israel, in developing high-tech surveillance tools, and invested in a fund with Peter Thiel, whose Palantir is a conglomerate which provides lethal technology for killing—as used by the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza—and data collection and surveillance technology.
The latter capability was sold to the UK government under the direction of Lord Peter Mandelson, a longtime ally of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Mandelson was instrumental in creating “New Labour” as a vehicle for Blair. He coordinated a six-year slander campaign along with Morgan McSweeney against former Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn, whom they smeared as “anti-Semitic,” due to Corbyn’s opposition to the brutal and illegal treatment of Palestine by the “Greater Israel” government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This dump-Corbyn campaign led to Keir Starmer taking over leadership of Blair’s “New Labour” Party. Both Mandelson and McSweeney have now resigned over the scandal of their withholding the truth of their involvement with Epstein, as the investigation of fellow kleptocrat Andrew has unfolded. British law enforcement officials are also scrutinizing evidence that both Andy and Mandy passed on classified British government documents to Epstein.
This is especially pertinent, given the outcome of the September 17, 2025 state dinner given by King Charles III to honor U.S. President Donald Trump. Gathering at their behest in the midst of a gilded dining hall in Windsor Castle fit for a king, were CEOs and executives of the leading AI/high-tech firms—such as Google, Nvidia, and Palantir—who signed pledges to invest $1.2 trillion in new military and surveillance systems.
The British press has been filled with headlines on these scandals, with some daring to ask whether the results might lead to the fall of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government, or even the long-overdue end of the monarchy (for example, the Daily Mail headline on February 20, “Andrew’s Fall May Be Complete. Will He Bring Down the House of Windsor?”) The ultimate result depends on whether investigators have the courage and intestinal fortitude to go beyond the disgustingly salacious sex stories and personal corruption, to lift the cover off the cesspool that is the system serving the City of London.
The other outstanding question is, when will such an investigation take place into the Wall Street/military-industrial complex running the “Deep State/Secret Government” corruption in the United States?
