In a move that insults both intelligence and justice, the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI have officially declared that Jeffrey Epstein, convicted sex offender, suspected blackmailer of presidents, princes, and plutocrats had no “client list,” and that his death in federal custody was nothing more than a “suicide.”
The American people and indeed the world are expected to accept this with a straight face.
We won’t.
Let’s be blunt: this isn’t just a failure of justice. It’s a coordinated protection racket for the global elite. And the silence is deafening, from Trump to Biden, Prince Andrew to Peter Mandelson. Each, in their own way, has either hovered around Epstein’s orbit or failed to lift a finger to bring real transparency.
A Billionaire Blackmailer with No Clients? Pull the Other One.
We’re now being asked to believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for trafficking underage girls to… no one. No buyers, no clients, no enablers. Just a vast, international sex trafficking operation that begins and ends with two people.
It’s a lie so brazen it would make Orwell blush.
But there was a list. Multiple lists, in fact.
- Flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, the infamous “Lolita Express”, include names such as Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Alan Dershowitz, Bill Gates, and Prince Andrew.
- Visitor logs show Peter Mandelson, Labour grandee and consigliere to the neoliberal order, was a frequent guest at Epstein’s residences.
- Even Ehud Barak, former Israeli Prime Minister, was photographed sneaking into Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse with his face obscured by a scarf.
Trump’s Empty Promises and the Theatre of “Draining the Swamp”
On the campaign trail, Donald Trump claimed he’d “reopen” the Epstein files and expose the rot at the top. Since returning to office in January, that promise has evaporated. Instead, Trump’s Justice Department has fallen in line behind the FBI’s statement that “no credible evidence” exists of Epstein blackmailing anyone.
Let’s not forget: Trump once called Epstein “a lot of fun to be with”, adding, “he likes beautiful women as much as I do, many of them on the younger side.”
His recent sneering dismissal—“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years…”—isn’t just tone-deaf. It’s contemptuous.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi, who once bragged, “Epstein’s client list is sitting on my desk,” has since walked that claim back. The files released so far are either heavily redacted or already public. A calculated insult.
Epstein’s Death: Still More Questions Than Answers
Epstein died in a federal cell in 2019 while awaiting trial for federal sex trafficking charges. The circumstances were as farcical as they were convenient:
- Two security cameras “malfunctioned.”
- Both prison guards “fell asleep.”
- He was taken off suicide watch days after a prior alleged attempt.
Now, years later, we’re expected to take new CCTV footage as definitive proof of suicide just as political interest and media pressure have conveniently faded.
Where was this footage during the original investigation? Why release it now?
The Maxwell Paradox: Trafficking to Thin Air?
If there is no client list, then what exactly is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?
Maxwell was convicted on multiple counts of trafficking minors and grooming them for sex with powerful men. These are not crimes that happen in isolation. Trafficking requires a market. So where are the buyers?
This is the paradox that sits at the heart of public outrage: a vast international abuse network, with victims, fixers, pilots, and mansions, but somehow, no clients.
Mandelson, Gates, and the Unanswered Questions
Peter Mandelson, long dubbed the “Prince of Darkness,” had long-standing ties to Epstein and his key financier, Leslie Wexner, the billionaire behind Victoria’s Secret. Mandelson called Epstein “Jeffrey” in leaked emails, holidayed with him, and was seen at his residences, yet still faces zero scrutiny from UK press or Parliament.
Bill Gates met Epstein multiple times after his 2008 conviction. Gates now claims to “regret” the meetings, but has never explained why he took them in the first place, or why his name appears in Epstein’s flight logs.
Epstein’s Network Wasn’t Built Alone
Epstein wasn’t just a predator, he was a social engineer, a gatekeeper, and a fixer. His network wasn’t limited to Manhattan and Palm Beach. It spanned Harvard, Downing Street, Silicon Valley, and Davos.
And Mandelson wasn’t acting alone.
He remains a key architect of New Labour, and more disturbingly, a founding European member of the Trilateral Commission: a transnational elite body of unelected power brokers formed by David Rockefeller in 1973. Its purpose? To build cross-border consensus for the ruling class, away from democratic scrutiny.
And who else sits at that table?
The Trilateral Firewall: Starmer, Merz, Carney
- Keir Starmer, now UK Prime Minister, was quietly inducted into the Trilateral Commission while still Leader of the Opposition. No press releases. No questions asked.
- Mark Carney, now Prime Minister of Canada, joined after his time as Bank of England Governor, where he oversaw policies that enriched the ultra-wealthy during and after the 2008 crash.
- Friedrich Merz, current German Chancellor and former BlackRock executive, used his position to push deeper financialisation across Europe.
Each man is a custodian of the neoliberal order. Each man is silent on Epstein.
Not one has called for transparency. Not one has demanded to see the client list. Not one has addressed the involvement of transatlantic elites in one of the worst abuse networks of the 21st century.
Their silence is not just complicity. It’s coordination.
The Real Scandal Isn’t Just the Crime… It’s the Cover-Up
This isn’t about Left or Right. It’s not Democrat vs Republican, Labour vs Tory.
It’s the establishment vs the people, a global network bound by finance, secrecy, and impunity.
They expect us to forget.
They expect us to move on.
They expect us to stop asking questions.
But we won’t.
Until the client list is published,
Until the network is exposed,
Until the enablers in high places are held to account,
We at Labour Heartlands will keep naming names.
Because when a system protects predators instead of victims,
it is not just broken, it is complicit.
