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.

- Prince Andrew (The Duke of York)

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.

Researchers:
Try to make sure that we don't accuse anyone of a crime, well Epstein was already a convicted sex abuser, but while investigating others just choose your words carefully.
Recently, a 2 year old post made by @rebelskum received a DMCA and Steemit removed it from their front-end. Even though the post in question was thoroughly sourced a take-down request was issued. Just be sure to source your material and think about using the words "allegedly" "claim" "purport" "assert"... just to be on the safe side.
Our good friend @ausbitbank pointed out the DMCA notice.

Just read and commented on your post on the Mint Press piece, i also read it and included it in this post. It's indeed a shocker but perhaps essential for understanding the Epstein case. I think, as i'm already seeing, that the msm will try to focus solely on Epstein as a sick individual acting alone trying to blackmail people in power. They dare not look at the overarching narrative or connections to a greater abuse and blackmail operation.

Here's my introductory dive on this topic, I made it before I saw your post here - so let me know if it doesn't meet the criteria. I might make another one after I review the info here too.

Hey, that's cheating! You already gave all the answers! Or should I say all the blanks in the case of the FBI?
In all seriousness, I think this is going to be a nice change of pace that will hopefully get more interest from a wider audience, as it's front and centre in the current news cycle. I also think that it not being limited to only one archive, will make for varying types of entries and different angles to be explored.

Lol, yeah we let the cat out of the bag with all that redacted-goodness!
Well, since the Epstein case is now front and centre maybe it might draw in a few more contributors and at the very least showcase what our little community is capable of! Cheers, thanks as always!

Hidden cameras make him a voyeur not a blackmailer. Your attempt to link this to nonsense like pizzagate makes it impossible to take you seriously. Bill Clinton's name appears in the flight logs because Epstein let him use the plane to go to conferences and he could write off the expense. People keep saying Clinto made 30 trips to lolita island, which he did not.
But even going to the island in no way means these people were pedos. Most child molesters don't tell all their friends. Its entirely possible, no fuck that, it's most likely that Epstein was banging underage girls and his guests were not involved in any way.
It makes no sense for any pedophile to tell all his friends, they keep it a secret. You can speculate all you want about giant conspiracies involving elite child trafficking rings, but I call bullshit. All these guys, Epstein, R Kelly, Michael Jackson all operate the same way, they have paid members of their entourage who recruit underage victims. There is no ring, and this is not an intelligence blackmail operation.

Let's stick to facts instead of your personal conjecture. Let's just take a look at the list of people from the flight logs, shall we?
No one is claiming that ALL of these individual's are part of an elite pedophile ring but it certainly brings int question their relationship with Epstein and warrants a thorough investigation.
