Epstein Occupied A Structural Position, So Who Has Replaced Him?

As sometime contributor DanfromTo points out, Epstein performed “necessary” tasks for the elite: control thru blackmail and the provision of experiences many of them genuinely want to have. Power is allowed to people who can be trusted with it by other members of the elite, who will do what the elites want: whether that be bailing out rich people or committing genocide.

Some people, like Biden, will do these things because they are true believers, but it’s always best to have them collared, in case they have an attack of conscience or just decide that the bread is better butter on another side.

Epstein wasn’t the first pimp to rich people and he won’t be the last. Almost no one who fucked under-age women (or performed worse acts, there are indications of murder and cannibalism in the files) has actually suffered any consequences. There’s no real reason for American elites to stop and Israel, certainly, needs collars on new members of the elite.

So who replaced him?

    Thanks Ian for taking this throwaway thought and putting more around it.

    I think maybe that the “OSINT” types (not the specific guys on Twitter who tend to be zionists & pro US empire) could possibly find this by tracking movements of private jets, yachts and sales of private islands to identify which ones might be owned by people who have Epstein’s profile (i.e. a very rich person whose wealth is hard to explain, has no obvious real world business interests and known for an indulgent lifestyle).

    There really can’t be that many private islands or megayachts being visited regularly by the 2nd tier elites, the airport book authors and top academics whom the top tier elites want kept in line.

  2. … (or performed worse acts, there are indications of murder and cannibalism in the files) …

    Cannibalism? I didn’t know Idi Amin was also an Epstein client.

    Seriously though, some of these so-called witness/victim accounts appear to be nutters coming out of the woodwork and jumping on the bandwagon which is tragic because it only serves to undermine the credibility of the REAL victims direct and indirect, and let’s face it, most of us are the REAL victims to one degree or another considering Epstein’s purpose.

    I have yet to see any Chinese who were on Epstein’s client list or in the files. I guess China runs a tight ship in this regard and perhaps many regards. Kudos to China in that regard.

    Ian, great question. I have the same question for what is the real 2026 current status of the global illegal narc0tics sector, in terms of what covert agencies are involved “managing” the trade, and who are their current ally DTOs.

    In Iran Contra in the 1980s, per Gary Webb C1A allowed the Nicaraguan Contras through dealers like Contra Danilo Blandon (I refer her as the Blandon DTO) to traffic “product” in the USA (for example to Ricky Ross in Los Angeles) in return for using a portion of the profits to off-books fund the Contras in their war against the Sandinistas. IIRC the Blandon DTO “supply chain’s” DTOs like Medellin Cartel (production) & Guadalajara Cartel/Miguel Felix (transportation through Mexico) were “allowed” to supply the Blandon DTO.

    I wonder what the situation is now. I had wondered if C1A/Zambada Sinaloa faction was the current Blandon, but Zambada got kidnapped and imprisoned in USA last year, presumably awaiting trial.

    I would guesstimate that the USA/SDS (“Supranational Deep State) retains supermajority “market share”, and any US-enemy nation covert agencies from say Russia or Iran have a minority stake in the “industry”.

    I wanted to write this in response to your previous Epstein post –

    Was it not of old written that “There is never *just* one cockroach.”?

    For every cockroach you see, there are a hundred that you never see and never find out about.

    Epstein is that one cockroach.
