Jeff Epstein - A Martyr of Royal Saudi Succession Wars

The Obligatory Epstein Post

Of all the articles I've seen on Jeff Epstein, this once hits closest to the mark:

Mike Benz: “Jeffrey Epstein Was Working With the CIA Since 1981” | The Gateway Pundit | by Collin McMahon

As the debate rages over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, Foundation for Freedom Online founder Mike Benz took a close look at Epstein’s history with the intel community talking to host Jesse Kelly.

Fact: Public Media IS Public Policy

I surmise that Epstein ran an "expired" network of both "hard" and "soft" power, spanning media, oligarchy, academia, and actual secret services.

Now, given that the Epstein case made ANY publicity - at all - suggests one IRON RULE:

EPSTEIN'S NETWORK WAS SHUT-DOWN IN 2005.

Major Political Event in 2005 - DEATH OF KING FAHD

Until the reforms of Prince Abdullah, only the King had authority to appoint his successor - no one else possessed such power.

The American media "allowed" a broadcast of Epstein's apparent illegitimacy in 2005, the same year that King Fahd died and Prince Abdullah took power.

Establishing the Allegiance Council in post-Fahd Saudi Arabia

The global media does not report on the unrest and squabbles amongst the Saudi elite, but surely, the chaos and uncertainty following King Fahd's death and the questionable legitimacy of the "Allegiance Council" generated many anxious whitepapers:

Heavy pressure on Allegiance Council members to announce inaugurate MBS as king - سعودي ليكس

Bin Salman is doing everything he can before the death of his father, the King, pressuring Allegiance Council members, and directs secret correspondence to the American administration, Israel, and Europe, as well as carrying out secret detention campaigns that targeted many officers in the security services, sources told Saudi Wikileaks. The sources confirmed that the …

2020 - MbS' Coup Success & Ghislaine Charges

Coincident with MbS' successful 2020 coup were Ghislaine's charges.

For what reason the Media & System decided to punish Ghislaine, in the same year MbS assumed power - remains a mystery, but I maintain that the need to protect Mohammad bin Salman's regime provided the imperative to imprison Ghislaine.

Why is Ghislaine Alive?

One could surmise Ghislaine lives as witness, if or when necessary, to cajole or coerce the bin Salman regime into compliance, should it stray from Trump's path.

Indeed, Trump conspired to have MbS take Saudi Arabia in 2020, and in 2025, it seems he also retired the Epstein Dossier as part of a concession to Mohammad bin Salman, likely as part of a broader Gaza-Iran deal.

Why Did Trump Vacillate on the Epstein Dossier?

Trump vacillated on the Epstein dossier because Iran & Gaza remained outstanding issues, and he had potentially devastating blackmail against Mohammad bin Salman, should he dare to defy Trump's will in a Trump Consensus in the Middle East.

Once bin Salman agreed to a "final resolution" regarding Gaza and Iran, Trump buried the Epstein Dossier.

Should Americans Forget Epstein?

Yes - the hard truth is that yes, Americans should forget Epstein, because Americans were only told about it to frustrate and manipulate internal Saudi Royal politics.

Trump has hard decisions to make, and if "children's welfare" truly concerned the American public, then the United States would not have a third-world attitude towards public schooling and the upbringing of children.

Self-righteous hypocrites cost Empires dearly, and securing fealty from Mohammad bin Salman and helping bridge peace across Israel, Iran, and Gaza by burying the Epstein Dossier buoys Trump's legacy, for time to come.
