The Epstein network is alive and well, and still expanding its influence. The man himself was simply middle management – a self-admitted agent of the Rothschilds. Those he served have continued to accumulate wealth, power, and control, and are now co-opting the machinery of government. Les Wexner was Epstein’s benefactor, and Wexner is still an important node in the network. Wexner has never been questioned about his role, and has continued to expand his activities while retaining connections to organised crime and to the Greater Israel project, where the ends are said to justify the dreadful means. At the same time he sits at the interface between Big Tech and the national security state.
Wexner’s New Albany Company has essentially privatised the local government of New Albany, Ohio, through a public private partnership, where the public aspect is very much the junior partner. His company can now tax local residents and issue bonds, which is unprecedented. The ostensible partnership is extremely pro-development, particularly of data centres. New Albany is now home to a major cluster of them, and is intended to become a model for smart cities by beta testing the necessary technology and programmes. Ohio in general has more data centres than almost any other state, and the New Albany area has more than anywhere else in the state. The company makes generous political donations, ensuring that their applications are fast-tracked and that lucrative incentives are offered. The eventual number of jobs promised in no way justifies the incentives given, especially considering the negative impact of these installations on local residents. Data centres are a creeping menace, gradually co-opting land, water and power, and for the purpose of controlling the newly dispossessed population. Computing power over people is their mantra.
Besides Wexner, other billionaire techbros with their own connections to the Epstein network are also intimately connected with these projects, and with political power. The most obvious is Peter Thiel, who created and financed JD Vance’s career from beginning to end, buying him an Ohio Senate seat and then arranging for him to take the Vice Presidency. If Trump cannot finish his term, which is looking increasingly likely due to his health, Vance will take the Presidency and the techbro takover of politics at the federal level will have moved into high gear.
The privatisation of New Albany is just the beginning. The model is meant to be extended to the whole country, and the whole empire, with vassal states potentially having little say in the matter. Public private partnerships are increasing rapidly, and the public aspect is being relegated to simply being a front for private interests, and a more superficially acceptable means of extracting wealth from the citizenry. The ideal, from the techbro point of view, is to follow the notions of Curtis Yarvin, who thinks the country should be run as a business dictatorship, with a CEO in sole charge. Already there are plans for this model on a small scale, beginning with single cities. Peter Thiel had even been considering Greenland as a potential location, although he probably hadn’t entirely thought through what that would involve. His recent move to Argentina makes sense in light of the fact that President Javier Milei is very much part of the network, and is already implementing the model of feudalism enforced by technology in his country.
There are many connections with the Israeli military industrial complex, which specialises in all manner of surveillance and control tech marketed to authoritarian governments around the world. One of the techbro oligarchs, Paul Singer, has been encouraging American companies to purchase Israeli tech start ups, so fronts for Israeli intelligence can be deeply embedded into large US companies, particularly those involving national security. This fits with a current federal bill to formally merge the American and Israeli militaries. The oligarchs appear to have an almost religious devotion to the idea of transhumanism – merging humans with AI with neural implants – as well as a determination to micro-manage humanity. The technology for all of this is being pioneered in Israel and tested in Gaza and elsewhere in the Middle East, along with technology for indiscriminate violence, such as the exploding pagers that maimed and killed many people, including children.
The hubris involved in all of this is off the charts. The Epstein network, which spans the globe, is aware that the financial system is at the end of a debt cycle and that control over critical resources confers power over people. They’re aiming for a controlled demolition of global society, devolving it into a plutocracy ruling over a huge proletariate with no rights or privacy. Whitney Webb describes it as going from a model contrasting the exploited and the unexploited, to a model where the contrast is between the exploited and the expendable. Human livestock is supposed to be able to prove its worth to the plutocrats in exchange for the privilige of continued existence. What the oligarchs fail to recognise is that large scale contractions, especially when war is involved, are very likely to take on a life of their own and become completely uncontrollable. Therefore the odds are that these initiatives will ultimately fail, although they’re likely to do substantial damage in the attempt. Humanity will need to cope with a period of considerable chaos, making resilience, community and relationships of trust absolutely vital. The sooner people recognise this and act on it, the better the outcome can be.
