Deep Dives 16
Up until now, #deepdives has always anchored research to a specific archive of publicly available information. This edition marks the first departure from this blueprint to explore the dark and sordid tale of the Epstein case. Archival material is available in the FBI Vault which contains a dossier on Jefferey Epstein that can be accessed using the link below. But as you may expect it is heavily redacted.

Jeffrey Epstein FBI Vault
Title: Jeffrey Epstein [Redacted] WSTA - Child Prostitution
Despite the redactions, there's still a significant amount of information that can be gleamed from the 21 part FBI file on Epstein.
For instance, the very first file describes a 2006 West interview by Palm Beach PD with Epstein's former houseman and butler Mr. Alfredo Rodriguez. Rodrigues was employed by Epstein from 2004 to 2005 and is responsible for leaking Epstein's "Black Book" which he believed would be his insurance policy. It was reported that Rodriguez circled the names of individuals he believed would be material witnesses to the crimes of Mr. Epstein. Rodriguez unsuccessfully attempted to sell the Black Book and its contents to (attorneys/prosecutors) for 50,000 USD. However, Nick Bryant, author of the "Franklin Scandal" came into possession of the Black Book and after finding little interest from mainstream outlets and after numerous attempts to publish, the material finally was made public by Gawker in 2015 .
Furthermore, in a separate disclosure of the passenger manifest from pilot flight records aboard Epstein's private jet The Lolita Express, the names of more high-profile guests traveling to his Caribbean Island were published by the UK tabloid the Daily Mail. Even with such evidence, the information generated little attention by the mainstream press at the time much to the surprise of Bryant and those who had been investigating Epstein.
Together, Epstein's Black Book and the "Lolita Express" flight logs contain the names and contact information of some of the most well known and powerful individuals in American and British society.

It's plain to see that Epstein was well connected to high society but exactly what sort of relationship Epstein cultivated with the rich and powerful remains unclear. To this day, one of the most intriguing aspects of the scandal is that no one knows just how Epstein was able to a masse such a large fortune. Where does the money come from?

The Epstein Deep Dive
Black Books, Sexual Blackmail and Child Prostitution
Since this is the first Deep Dives to focus on a single individual, it may seem to some to be limited in scope. Yet, if we consider Epstein's extensive connections which reach to the top of the western power pyramid there are numerous angles in which to investigate the case. Exploring just a handful of individuals Epstein's contacts have the potential to open up new insights into the case.
Suggestions for Research / Reporting
- Epstein is Intelligence (CIA / Mossad / etc.)
- Sexual Blackmail / Brownstone Operations / Honey pots
- Origins of Epstein's wealth
- Epstein's connections to elite figures (Black Book / Flight Logs)
- Research into a select individual from the Black Book / Flight Logs and its implications
- The FBI dossier
- Connections or Comparisons to other child trafficking and pedophile rings (Franklin Scandal / Dutroux Affair / The Finders / White House Call Boys / Jimmy Savile / NXIVM / PedoGate-PizzaGate / Open Secret / Weinstein / etc.)
- Victim Court Filings (PACER)
- Acosta's Resignation
- Victim / Witness intimidation
- Examine mainstream narratives and propaganda

In recent weeks there's been an avalanche of reporting on the Epstein Case from both the mainstream and alternative media. One of the most fascinating reports related to the Epstein case was recently published by Whitney Webb at Mint Press News.
https://www.mintpressnews.com/shocking-origins-jeffrey-epstein-blackmail-roy-cohn/260621/
The article shines a light on the history of sexual blackmail in American society and politics. The superb Mint Press News article demonstrates how sexual blackmail has long been employed by American Mafia predating Epstein's operations by nearly a century which effectively compromised political leaders and ingraining organized crime within US political system.
This article is highly recommended and may give some would be researchers out there a fresh take on Epstein and stimulate some new angles to pursue. For instance, Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, politically well-connected in Washington while also having extensive ties to America's mobster underworld.
