… but you’re not in it.

Connecting the dots of the wider Davos Class.

We’re supposed to believe Jeffrey Epstein was an outlier, a playboy financier with a penchant for underage girls and a large network of easily corruptible politicians, entrepreneurs and luminaries. He also purportedly acted alone without the invisible hand of a much larger criminal syndicate that had, to paraphrase Klaus Schwab, embedded itself in governments and boardrooms around the world. How could Bill Gates have guessed that Jeffrey Epstein’s interests may have extended beyond helping to reduce infant mortality through public health campaigns in Africa and India? Is it a mere coincidence that both shared an interest in overpopulation and biotechnology?

Bill may deny any involvement in Jeffrey’s sex games, but that misses the point. Kevin Bass has dissected the Epstein files. The key relationships are all in one way or another linked to the covid psyop that unfolded six months after Epstein’s alleged suicide.

The Gates Circle

Boris Nikolic: a Croatian-born, Harvard-trained immunologist who became a biotech venture capitalist, co-founding Biomatics Capital. He served as chief scientific adviser to Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation. Most strikingly, Epstein named him as successor executor in his will detailing nearly $600 million in assets. The recently released DOJ files paint a much more textured picture of their relationship than Nikolic’s professed surprise would suggest. In December 2009, just six months after Epstein’s release from his Florida incarceration, Nikolic was helping him navigate Davos, offering to set up one-on-one meetings and describing his own “virtual currency” as access to powerful people. Epstein’s response was characteristically revealing. He wrote back that they should first decide whether any of the waitresses or staff were attractive, adding not to forget priorities.

Other key players around the Gates orbit include:

• Larry Cohen, who served as the CEO of Gates Ventures and before that as Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President of Marketing, having joined the tech giant in 1995.
• Larry Summers, who served as Chief Economist at the World Bank, as Clinton’s Treasury Secretary from 1999 to 2001 and as Harvard’s president from 2001 to 2006. His first known flight on Epstein’s aircraft was in 1998, when he was deputy Treasury Secretary. In 2007, Summers joined the Gates Foundation’s Global Development Program Advisory Panel, alongside figures such as former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo and former McKinsey managing director Rajat Gupta.
• Kathryn Ruemmler, a former White House counsel under Clinton who later became a Gates attorney before joining Goldman Sachs.
• Melanie Walker, who maintained an address in an Epstein-owned New York apartment building. In 1998, Epstein hired her as his science adviser at Caltech, using her access to meet faculty there. After moving to Seattle with Microsoft executive Steven Sinofsky, Walker met Gates at a company barbecue and joined the Gates Foundation in 2006. There, she introduced Epstein to Gates’ science adviser Boris Nikolic, ultimately facilitating the first Gates–Epstein meeting in 2010.
• Connie Collingsworth, Gates Foundation General Counsel.
• Thorbjørn Jagland, who served as Norwegian PM, as Nobel Committee chair and as Council of Europe Secretary General. He maintained a close relationship with Epstein from 2011 to 2019, receiving gifts, travel and stays at the financier’s properties. Epstein privately called him “not bright” but valued his positions. In February 2026, Jagland was charged with aggravated corruption by Norwegian authorities and subsequently hospitalised.

The Epstein–Israel Nexus

Much more evidence points to Epstein’s support for the Greater Israel Project, which also aligns with his views on eugenics as a member of the chosen people. DOJ-released tax filings show Epstein’s foundations donated $25,000 to Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) in 2005 and $15,000 to the Jewish National Fund (which funds West Bank settlement activities), and gave heavily to Jewish organisations including $500,000 to the Ramaz school, plus contributions to Hillel International, YIVO and multiple yeshivas over a 20-year period. In 2008, while facing US charges, Epstein personally toured Israeli military bases with FIDF.

His most significant Israeli connection was a close, long-running relationship with former PM Ehud Barak. Epstein invested in Barak-linked tech startup Carbyne, which had ties to Israeli security sectors, and advised Barak on firms including Palantir.

An FBI informant’s account, documented in released files, claimed Epstein “belonged to both US and allied intelligence services” and was “trained as a spy” under Barak, though these claims remain unverified. Epstein also referenced Ghislaine Maxwell’s father Robert Maxwell’s alleged Mossad ties in a 2018 email and stated in 2012 correspondence that “Palestine has never historically existed.”

Palantir

The Epstein connection here is significant: he was advising former Israeli PM Ehud Barak on Palantir, placing the company at the intersection of the intelligence, military and financial networks Epstein moved within.

Founded in 2003 with $2 million from the CIA’s venture capital arm In-Q-Tel, Palantir opened a Tel Aviv office in 2015, after which co-founders Peter Thiel and Alex Karp met with Israeli military leaders regularly. They were keen on building targeting databases capable of converting data extracted from the occupied Palestinian territories (emails, call logs, mobile phone address books, WhatsApp messages, social media profiles and location stamps) into predictive targeting systems. Palantir had been providing tools to Israeli security agencies as early as 2014.

In January 2024, Palantir agreed a formal strategic partnership with the Israeli Ministry of Defence following a meeting between Israeli officials and co-founders Thiel and Karp in Tel Aviv. Under this agreement, Israel was set to buy an AI-based system called AIP, designed to assist decision-making on the basis of intelligence and capable of analysing enemy targets and proposing combat moves, with Palantir expecting revenue in the tens of millions of dollars.

Palantir also powers the Gaza Civil-Military Coordination Center, the US military compound in Kiryat Gat set up in October 2025 to execute the Trump administration’s plan for Gaza. Israel reportedly used Palantir tools during multiple raids in the Gaza Strip and also relied on the company in its September 2024 attacks in Lebanon using exploding electronic pagers and radio devices.

More broadly, the company has secured contracts including an initial $480 million for Project Maven (the Pentagon’s AI drone targeting system), now expanded to nearly $1.3 billion. CEO Alex Karp said in February 2026 that their “weapons software is in every combat situation I’m aware of.”

Palantir has also secured at least 24 contracts across key UK public institutions and is now working with both the Israeli and British military. Its UK boss Louis Mosley, grandson of Oswald Mosley, head of the erstwhile British Union of Fascists, told BBC Newsnight the company was “proud of the work we do in Israel.”

Norwegian fund Storebrand divested from Palantir over its Israeli military role. In July 2025, nearly 100 activists from Jewish Voice for Peace occupied Palantir’s Seattle offices, carrying banners reading “First Palantir Surveils, then IDF Kills,” with simultaneous protests at offices in New York, Washington DC, Palo Alto and Denver.

From Wexner to the Blair Administration

Epstein leveraged his position at Bear Stearns to build a network of wealthy and influential clients. Through his work, he met and formed relationships with billionaires like Leslie Wexner and Leon Black, closely associated with the Rockefeller and Rothschild dynasties.

The fake-progressive mainstream media has been quick to stress the well-publicised friendship between Epstein and Donald Trump, although the latter only appeared on flight logs on Epstein’s private jet from New York City to Palm Beach, Florida, and not his infamous private island, Little St. James.

Peter Mandelson, however, the lead architect of the New Labour project, arranged for his friend Jeffrey Epstein to meet Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street in July 2001 and visited his private island on several occasions. Epstein’s 2008 conviction for child prostitution did little to weaken their friendship. In the same year, after a four-year stint as EU Commissioner for Trade, Gordon Brown brought Mandelson back into government as Secretary of State for Business and Trade, sitting in the House of Lords. Although the Prince of Darkness had struggled to shake off his public image as a scandal-prone, devious backroom dealer, his 2010 book, The Third Man, not only earned him £500,000 in royalties but attracted much more interest among political analysts than the bland recollections of Gordon Brown and Tony Blair.

In just over two years Mandelson resigned twice: first for an undisclosed interest-free home loan from affluent Labour MP Geoffrey Robinson and then for fast-tracking Srichand Hinduja’s passport application in exchange for £1 million for the Millennium Dome. Yet this was just the tip of the iceberg. Mandelson also promoted the Horizon IT system developed by Fujitsu that would over the next 15 years lead to countless bankruptcies of small post offices and at least thirteen suicides.

As Business Secretary he attended the secretive Bilderberg Meeting and let Epstein convince him to lobby Alistair Darling to change Labour’s new policy on bankers’ bonuses, and helped Epstein broker a deal for the £1 billion US-negotiated sale of a UK taxpayer-owned banking business. The following year he messaged Epstein that he had finally persuaded Gordon Brown to stand down and leave No. 10, five hours before it was announced.

Meanwhile, media commentators across the conventional political spectrum jumped on the bandwagon to condemn not only the sex offender’s heinous acts but a handful of bad apples who had succumbed to the lure of his generosity and sexual philanthropy, bringing an abrupt end to the last vestiges of the neoliberal era. The rhetorical left highlighted Donald Trump’s well-known friendship with Epstein, while the patriotic right pointed to his close links with Chomsky, Clinton and Mandelson. Most absurdly, some commentators tried to reframe Epstein as a Russian agent because of a few contacts he had with Russian oligarchs and his vain attempts to meet Vladimir Putin.

Big Tech Connections

The recent document releases reveal Epstein had remarkably deep ties throughout Silicon Valley.

Microsoft

• Emails show Epstein was in contact with at least 20 prominent tech executives, investors and researchers.
• An official from Gates’ private office (Gates Ventures/bgC3) emailed Gates about a business plan which he then forwarded to Epstein, listing projects including one titled “Follow-up recommendations and/or technical specifications for Strain pandemic simulation.”
• Emails showed Gates informed Epstein of his most confidential projects, including in areas like biological defence and neurotechnology.

Google

• Google co-founder Sergey Brin emailed Ghislaine Maxwell about meeting up with Epstein during a trip to New York in 2003.
• Larry Page, Google’s co-founder, appears in the files, including in a 2010 email where Page’s personal pilot wanted to use Epstein’s helicopter for a Caribbean holiday.
• Epstein introduced JPMorgan executives to Brin to help the bank secure the billionaire as a customer.

Tech Investment Activity

• Peter Thiel advised Epstein on potential investments in Palantir.
• Epstein invested $40 million in Valar Ventures, a venture capital firm founded by Peter Thiel, in 2015 and 2016.
• Epstein invested $5 million in Jawbone in 2012, increasing his holdings to $11.25 million by 2017.
• Epstein became an early investor in Coinbase in 2014, investing $3 million when the company was still a two-year-old startup.
• Epstein’s financial adviser was pitched on backing Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Biotech Connections

Epstein had particularly strong connections to biotech, longevity research and eugenics-adjacent fields, positioning himself at the intersection of Big Tech wealth and cutting-edge biotech research. These connections continued well after his 2008 conviction, suggesting his network valued his connections and investment opportunities enough to overlook his criminal background.

Investments and Relationships

• Boris Nikolic invited Epstein to join him for a Breakthrough Prize event at investor Yuri Milner’s home in Silicon Valley in 2013.
• Masha Bucher connected Bryan Johnson with Epstein in 2017 to discuss Kernel, Johnson’s brain interface company.
• Epstein proposed to fund Harvard’s Personal Genome Project to discover if “beauty resides in DNA.”

Transhumanism and Anti-Ageing

• Jeff Bezos, who dined with a fresh-out-of-prison Epstein, made significant investments in the anti-ageing startup Altos Labs, developing “reprogramming technology” to rejuvenate cells.
• Sergey Brin founded Calico, a secretive biotech outfit focused on solving the problem of ageing.
• Recent emails unveiled by Bloomberg illuminate Epstein’s interest in transhumanism, or neo-eugenics, a philosophy that has become commonplace among Big Tech oligarchs and ruling-class elites.

Academic and Research Funding

• Epstein corresponded with Antonio Damasio, director of USC’s Brain and Creativity Institute. In 2013, Damasio asked Epstein to fund a new line of robotics and neuroscience research.
• Epstein provided patronage to German AI scientist and executive Joscha Bach.

Epstein could only act as a philanthropising wheeler-dealer as part of a much larger global network of the high and mighty with very different public and private opinions. One faction poses on the progressive woke left and the other as the new anti-woke but tech-savvy right. In February 2025 Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, historian Niall Ferguson; journalist and author David Brooks and Peter Thiel, and Louis Mosley joined Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage at the ARC (Alliance for Responsible Citizenship) conference at ExCeL London. They’re all staunch Zionists and in bed with Palantir while posing as free speech champions and protectors of conservative family values. It’s the same wolf in sheep’s clothing, endlessly reinventing itself to engineer public consent for the next phase of the Great Reset.
