Date: February 14, 2026
Overview
In this episode, Jay Dyer and Jake Rattlesnake engage in a deep-dive discussion about the newly revealed Epstein files, examining Jeffrey Epstein's connections to global finance, intelligence agencies, and elite power structures, including the Rothschilds, Vatican Bank, organized crime, and Western geopolitical strategy. The tone combines investigative seriousness with the hosts’ characteristic dry humor and candidness, as they attempt to connect longstanding patterns in criminal, financial, and intelligence networks.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Epstein's Origins and Position in Power Structures
[01:00–04:08]
- Jay first encountered the Epstein story around 2016 linked to Ben Swan’s reporting and subsequent 4chan leaks, with mainstream exposure through the Lolita Express revelations and Clinton/WikiLeaks connections.
- Jake frames Epstein as more than a mere pawn or low-level operative. Jay agrees:
“He’s kind of like a Bond villain but not at the top of the pyramid...a mid-level fixer, consultant, [and] organized crime [figure]. Expand Meyer Lansky internationally and you really understand Epstein.” ([04:08], Jay)
- Epstein orchestrated meetings with top political figures—a sign of immense, though not apex, power. Functioned as “liaison and legate of the Rothschilds and perhaps Israel at various degrees,” including consulting former Israeli PM Ehud Barak on tech sector infiltration.
2. Epstein's Upstream Handlers: Who’s Really in Charge?
[07:29–11:29]
- Jay draws parallels to Robert Maxwell (Ghislaine’s father) as a Rothschild front and intelligence cutout, mentored by Lord Victor Rothschild.
- “It’s a copy-paste operation that suggests foreign heads of state, Rothschilds, and especially Mossad...certainly people above Epstein.” ([10:29], Jay)
- Notable mention of Maxwell’s downfall after playing both sides between British, Israeli, and Soviet intelligence.
- Leslie Wexner (U.S. billionaire) is flagged as another superior. Jay connects Epstein’s grooming and entry to Wall Street (Bear Stearns) with intelligence backers, pointing out his avoidance of jail time as a likely quid-pro-quo with authorities.
3. Evidence of Espionage and Operational Immunity
[13:16–18:49]
- Jake asks what the new emails prove about Epstein’s intelligence status. Jay details:
- Shady Wall Street beginnings, surprisingly fast access to exclusive circles (weapons dealers, billionaires), and multiple passports.
- Historical testimony: “When [prosecutor Alex] Acosta was looking into this, he was told ‘let Epstein go, he’s intelligence.’” ([15:50], Jay)
- Direct financial support to Israeli figures, e.g., Ehud Barak, and operational impunity (use of government properties, CIA planes, above-the-law actions).
- Comparison to Robert Maxwell: “The Soviets saw [Maxwell]...trying to blackmail Western intelligence and Mossad...Exactly what happened.” ([16:58], Jay)
- Western intelligence agencies are highly interconnected (Five Eyes, Atlanticist bloc), with Epstein liaising for all, not just CIA or Mossad.
4. Why Was Epstein Ever Arrested? Limits of His Protection
[18:05–21:30]
- Jay attributes Epstein’s downfall to the sheer industrial scale and number of involved victims:
“Eventually...you can’t just kill everybody and cover everything up. So it’s kind of like Nexium...Elite, billionaire...structure that eventually so many people were wrapped up in this, that...whistleblowers and women [came] forward.” ([19:53], Jay)
- Also posits British intelligence and their historic role as overlooked but central.
5. Epstein, The Rothschilds, and International Banking
[21:30–39:58]
- Jake notes Epstein’s explicit claim in emails (“I represent the Rothschilds”) and frequent references to old-money seeking new tech access.
- Jay distinguishes between organized crime stereotypes and the actual origin of modern intelligence—banking and academia:
“It’s mainly high finance and understanding human nature and compromising people...media and disinformation...but as Epstein explains early on in the Bannon interview, he was recruited... for his ability to explain high finance to the elite.” ([22:22–23:43], Jay)
- Deep dive into fractional reserve banking (as detailed by historian Carroll Quigley) and how it underpins the Western financial system, the Federal Reserve, and international capitalist order.
- Epstein’s higher-than-expected status: “Apparently he was higher up than most people expected...not as high tier as Brzezinski or Kissinger, but sorta in their steering committees.” ([25:01–26:56], Jay)
- Rothschild banking syndicate history: Paribas (French system), global reach, and secretive “shadow banking.”
“There’s things we don’t even know to this day...articles that Rockefeller empire had joined forces with the Rothschild banking empire.” ([28:55], Jay)
- Epstein’s Rothschild role likely was more than asset management; he acted as “fixer,” asset, or intelligence operator—echoing the Rothschild model of blending banking and espionage.
- Notable parallel:
“Watch Oliver Stone’s movie Wall Street...It’s about insider knowledge. That’s how you make your money...That was a very insightful email there because that’s exactly what we’re talking about.” ([35:08–36:52], Jay)
- Examples: Using foreknowledge of Ukraine, Somalia, Libya, and exploiting engineered crises for asset acquisition.
“They use the U.S. government, the stupidity of the American public and patriotism to get them on board with these foreign ventures that are actually about...resources, rare earth minerals in these regions.” ([38:06], Jay)
6. The Vatican Bank Connection
[39:58–46:12]
- Jay highlights underreported links between Epstein, the Vatican Bank (“Institute for Religious Works”), and Pope John Paul II.
- Detailed modern history: Vatican Bank’s infamous independence (not subject to Italian/EU law), role in post-WWII Gladio operations (collaboration with American and British intelligence), and use as a conduit for black budget funds.
- Illustration:
“That’s why I honed in on that [Epstein’s] email about the Vatican Bank...because so many of the books that we’ve highlighted over the years...all of that was really vindicated, I think, in that Epstein email description.” ([45:34], Jay)
7. Repeat Patterns: Gladio, Compromise, and “Copy-Paste” Operations
[46:12–49:42]
- Paul Williams’ book on Operation Gladio and the Vatican Bank underscores a historical continuity of entrapment, blackmail, and compromise operations in Europe—mirrored in the Epstein network.
- Case in point: The Italian P2 Lodge and their links to CIA, Vatican, organized crime, and international banking.
8. Epstein as Western Elite “Fixer” on Steering Committees
[49:42–53:58]
- Epstein coordinated at the uppermost level—meeting heads of state, royals, billionaires, and liaising for steering committee institutions (Bilderberg, Davos, World Economic Forum).
- World Economic Forum (Davos) is flagged as a Rockefeller/Kissinger project, demonstrating the real power lies at the steering committee/foundation/philanthropy level, not with national politicians:
“The people at the steering committees, they’re above [the] CIA... Foundations...royals... higher than politicians.” ([50:12], Jay)
9. Atlanticist Power Block and Global Game
[56:13–end]
- Jay explains the “Atlanticist power block” (aka Anglo-American establishment) as the connective tissue tying Western intelligence (MI6, CIA, Mossad), banking, and corporate empires together.
- References geopolitics by Mackinder, Brzezinski, and Kissinger; emphasizes continued patterns—from the Great Game to the modern Ukraine conflict—of the West seeking dominance over the ‘Heartland’ (Eurasia).
- Israel’s rise as a power player is traced, referencing JFK files and major turning points (e.g., USS Liberty incident).
- The “international banking click” is depicted as a self-reinforcing secret society, perpetually above nation-state oversight.
