Kait Justice: Is the Barr Family Blocking The Epstein Investigation Because It Would Expose What's Being Built Now?
Link: https://kaitjustice.substack.com/p/epstein-donald-bill-barr
Three threads, fifty years, a 1973 Sci-Fi novel and the architecture of a sovereign class that answers to no one.
I want to start with what is happening today, because I think if you understand today first, everything I am about to show you from fifty years ago will make so much more sense than it would if I started at the beginning with things that don’t apply to our lives now.
Today, Peter Thiel, the man who co-founded PayPal, made the first outside investment in Facebook, co-founded the data surveillance company that processes intelligence for the CIA and the Pentagon, and whose money put the current Vice President of the United States in office, has a protégé network running through the executive branch of the American government.
JD Vance, who worked at Thiel’s Mithril Capital and received $15 million in campaign backing from Thiel, is Vice President. David Sacks, Thiel’s Stanford Review co-founder and PayPal colleague, is AI and Crypto Czar. Michael Kratsios, former chief of staff at Thiel Capital, is Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Jacob Helberg, a Palantir adviser, was nominated as Under Secretary of State. Clark Minor, who worked at Palantir for 13 years, became Chief Information Officer at HHS. Jim O’Neill, former CEO of the Thiel Foundation, was confirmed as Deputy Secretary of HHS and then installed as acting CDC director.
Since Trump took office in January 2025, Palantir received $113 million in new contracts from DHS and the Pentagon. Palantir, the company Thiel built with venture funding from the CIA’s investment arm In-Q-Tel, which processes data for intelligence agencies and law enforcement across the federal government, is now what Bloomberg has called the operating system for significant portions of American government.
And DOGE, which by mid-2025 had dissolved itself eight months before its scheduled end date, with OPM Director Scott Kupor confirming to Reuters that it was “no longer a centralized entity,” did something before it disappeared. Its personnel stayed, seemingly seeded permanently throughout the agencies they had accessed.
The man who helped dismantle USAID now oversees foreign assistance at the State Department. The person granted access to government health systems is now Chief Technology Officer at HHS. Another is now Chief at the Office of Naval Research. A fourth is developing AI tools to identify and eliminate federal regulations. The organization dissolved, and the footprint it had carved into those agencies remained after it. The oversight infrastructure and the financial investigation infrastructure are the same infrastructure.
The Suspicious Activity Reports at Treasury are how financial crimes get traced. The compliance systems at federal financial agencies are how transactions connecting Epstein, Deutsche Bank, Kushner, and sovereign wealth channels get flagged and investigated. DOGE accessed those systems, then embedded its people permanently inside the agencies that run them, then dissolved so that the footprint continues with no central entity anyone can subpoena or hold accountable.
Meanwhile, when you call 911 in jurisdictions across 23 US states, a company called Carbyne can remotely activate your smartphone camera, track your exact GPS location, run AI analysis on your call, and stream live video from wherever you are (when granted permissions according to any official documents). They advertise these capabilities openly. They raised $100 million in July 2025, and their US revenue jumped 400 percent between 2023 and 2024.
Carbyne is chaired by Ehud Barak, former Israeli Prime Minister and former commander of Unit 8200, Israel’s signals intelligence directorate. It is founded and run by Unit 8200 veterans. Its advisory board includes Michael Chertoff and Kirstjen Nielsen, both former Secretaries of Homeland Security, and Trae Stephens, a former early Palantir employee, Founders Fund partner, and co-founder of Anduril Industries, who led Trump’s Department of Defense transition team in 2016.
Jeffrey Epstein invested $1.5 million in Carbyne in 2015 while Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund invested $15 million in Carbyne in 2018. Epstein also invested $40 million in Thiel’s Valar Ventures fund between 2015 and 2016, money that sat hidden for nine years, grew to $170 million, and is currently the largest remaining asset in Epstein’s estate.

RECOMMENDED READING!
Buckle up my friends, this is a long read. But you'll be amazed at what Kait Justice has uncovered - and a large part of it links up to none other than Bill Barr, also his father Donald.
She has links to everything including her previous blogs where her investigations intersect and overlap. You'll be amazed. It really looks like Bill Barr and Peter Thiel are at the center of all of this!

or do they want to ride in Chariots of the Gods?
WHY would anyone do this? Because Bill's daddy Don wrote a book? It begs the question, what's the payoff for the participants? They will be too old or dead and buried to fly to Mars.
Leaves me guessing. 
Just ultra-conservative assholes with too much money and drunk on power, who hate liberals and democracy.
Does that sound about right?
