We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world
The most disturbing revelation so far

It’s not just Epstein. That’s what these files reveal. Epstein is communicating with hundreds of men in these millions of pages. Men from every country and power structure: US finance, petrodollar royalty, Russian oligarchy, Hollywood, Palo Alto, Washington, Westminster. We know that more than 1,000 women and girls were trafficked and there are hundreds of Epstein survivors. As well as those who tragically didn’t survive, such as Virginia Guiffre. We must keep them front and centre, always.
Epstein was a criminal. Whether any of the men named in these files are too is not something we can know: no charges or prosecutions have been brought. But it’s not just Epstein. That’s what we now have to realise. Obsessive, pervasive sexual interest in teenage girls - and to some degree, boys - is threaded insistently through our culture.
We just choose to ignore it. We redact it. It’s a darkness that we cover with more darkness.
Are we going to reckon with that? Can we?

Creepy Bond villains stealing our data and trying to take us into their "dark enlightenment" delusion.
An excellent resource on why the police don't bring up what Flock does and why Thiel doesn't bring up what Palantir knows.
The Private Companies Quietly Building a Police State
From Palantir’s data fusion to Clearview’s face scraping and Flock’s license-plate dragnets, a handful of private vendors now underpin everyday policing—and ICE’s deportation machine. Sold as “public safety,” these tools supercharge surveillance, stitch together vast personal data, and evade democratic oversight. Here’s what they are, who profits, and how we can shrink police reliance on them.

Overview
Donald Trump entered the White House last January with a promise to carry out the largest mass deportation in United States history. While Trump hasn’t made history with the numbers, his administration’s policies have led to a dramatic surge in ICE arrests, fueled in part by private technology companies that have made them possible.
Powerful tools that collect and aggregate data, enable facial recognition, and increase surveillance have become a bedrock of American policing over the past two decades. In collaboration with private technology companies, law enforcement agencies at all levels have experimented with how to implement these tools and created a large consumer market for them. Against this backdrop, it is essential to understand the role of the tech industry in both increasing the reach of local law enforcement and enabling mass deportations by the Trump administration.
The Trump administration has made a public show of its deportation efforts, but the technologies that make it possible have received less attention. ICE is, for example, one of the largest customers for Clearview AI, a facial recognition company that has scraped more than 30 billion faces from internet sources. Data brokers, including one owned jointly by several airline companies, are actively selling data to ICE and other federal agencies. Perhaps most noteworthy is a new $30 million contract between ICE and Palantir to build a platform integrating data from myriad sources to provide “near real-time visibility” of migrants in the country.
Palantir is a defense contractor that builds data integration tools for law enforcement and government agencies–what one former employee describes as “really extravagant plumbing with data.” While the company brands itself as a neutral “data infrastructure” provider, Palantir is in reality a largely unchecked force in the expansion of mass surveillance. For example, the company is in conversation with the Trump administration to build and manage systems for the Social Security Administration and the IRS, a move challenged by civil rights groups. Palantir’s “plumbing” could lay the foundation for which law enforcement agencies leverage massive troves of private information never intended for police use. Such systems have been used on a smaller scale for years in local police agencies, enabling mass surveillance and, in many cases, exacerbating racist policing.
The surveillance technologies currently used by ICE empower the agency in ways that are both unprecedented and massively expand its reach. But they are also in use far beyond this one agency. Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital privacy organization, has mapped a wide range of intrusive technology systems – from surveillance cameras to complex systems like Palantir’s – used by local police agencies throughout the country. Hundreds of companies, many of which began as military and defense contractors, now market their tools to, and develop them in concert with, law enforcement agencies across the United States.

Sorry so late — could not find this last noche, but wanted to cement some long-lasting facts on to the thread.
Leaked Emails Reveal Jeffrey Epstein's Connections to the Surveillance Industry
by Matthew Petti
Reason, Wed, August 27, 2025
After his first arrest for sex crimes, Jeffrey Epstein tried to get into a new line of work: surveillance. In 2015, he partnered with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to invest in a security tech startup called Reporty Homeland Security, now known as Carbyne. Leaked emails show that Epstein was using Barak to seek out opportunities in the surveillance industry and build connections with powerful figures around the globe, including American businessman Peter Thiel, the former director of Israeli signals intelligence, and two people in Russian President Vladimir Putin's circle.
After he was first caught sexually exploiting teenage girls, Epstein had pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution in 2008; he served a little over a year in detention. Meanwhile, he invested his wealth in bizarre projects, including a ranch to breed women with his DNA and "efforts to identify a mysterious particle that might trigger the feeling that someone is watching you," according to The New York Times.
The leaked emails show that Epstein was also interested in more mundane means of spying on and manipulating people, which overlapped with the technologies governments often pursue. This interest crossed borders.
Barak's email inbox was quietly posted by Distributed Denial of Secrets, a website widely considered to be a successor to WikiLeaks, on a file-sharing platform for verified journalists and researchers in May 2025. The contents came from Handala, a hacker group named for a Palestinian cartoon character that has been leaking files taken from senior Israeli officials for several months.
Although the emails were posted without technical metadata or cryptographic signatures that would allow their authenticity to be verified, they include dozens of images, videos, voice recordings, and scanned documents from Barak and his friends and family that have never been published elsewhere. And they include information that was not publicly known at the time of the email leaks, including a reference to Epstein's birthday book.

We live in a world where evil is a commodity. Sunlight, sanitation and surgery are in order.
Craig Unger pegs the Russia-Epstein angle.
From Russia (to Jeffrey), with Love
The Epstein saga is even more interesting when you look at the Russian women who helped run his operation. Here's a look at Svetlana Pozhidaeva.

EXCERPT...
Raised in a Moscow apartment complex built for staffers of the NKVD, the Stalinist precursor of the KGB, Pozhidaeva was educated at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), the prestigious academy run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that is a training ground for Russian diplomats and intelligence officials. Reputed to be the most elite university in the country, MGIMO has been dubbed the “Harvard of Russia” by Henry Kissinger because it has trained so many figures in Russia’s political, intellectual, and financial elite.
According to the Italian edition of Maxim, Lana gave up a promising tennis career at the age of sixteen to become the youngest freshman at MGIMO, where she graduated with the equivalent of summa cum laude, having mastered, along the way, French, English, Italian, and Spanish, as if she were on course to join the Foreign Ministry.
But then her career took a bizarre turn. Her stellar academic credentials notwithstanding, Pozhidaeva somehow ended up becoming a model who was represented by MC2, a modeling agency owned by Epstein-pimp-to-be Jean-Luc Brunel. Known as “le fantôme” (the ghost), Brunel was the subject of a 1988 piece that aired on CBS’s 60 Minutes in which several young models accused him of drugging their drinks, groping them sexually, and rape. The CBS reporter, Craig Pyes, told Michael Gross. the author of Model: The Ugly Truth of Beautiful Women, that Brunel “ranks among the sleaziest people in the fashion industry. We’re talking about a conveyor belt, not a casting couch. Hundreds of girls were not only harassed but molested.”

“What was most striking about Pozhidaeva was that she had a terrific academic career in Russia and then threw it away on something completely unrelated. She attended, as she says, a top college in Russia, like Stanford in the United States,” said Shvets. “And she was a straight‑ A student. This is important to understand. She sacrificed four years and then two more years for a master’s degree. It’s an achievement.”
But suddenly after this, Shvets noted, “She says, ‘Fuck it all. Fuck my previous six years. Fuck everything I was doing.’ I mean, it’s amazing— it just does not happen in real life.”
“Of course, we know what Epstein was doing with the ladies. But in this particular case,” Shvets told me, “Epstein takes her and introduces her to renowned American and international scientists.”
