The Anya Surprise — Is She Really Jeffrey Epstein’s Niece?

by Mary W Maxwell (source Substack)

Today (July 21, 2025) there was an interview of Anya Wick by Shaun Attwood on YouTube. Ms Wick says that she and her twin are the children of a brother of Jeffrey Epstein. Word spread quickly and many people who had not known generally about the mixture of child abuse and mind control, and drugs, came to Shaun’s website on the wings of “the Epstein files” controversy. I will discuss that below.

There were hundreds of comments, mainly from newbies. They typically said “We love you and believe you, Anya.” There were almost no haters — such as “You are lying, you are a creep trying to make money,” etc. I was surprised at the civility, although a few said “I’m calling BS.”

Sexual abuse of children is very real, and Satanic ritual abuse — “SRA” — is also real. I first learned of this stuff in 2005 from a survivor, Carol Rutz, who wrote the book A Nation Betrayed. By now it is well known, thanks to survivors such as Fiona Barnett, David Shurter, and Anastasia Sprout. And now there are podcasters such as Emma and Gabby, who specifically host such survivors.

For humans, sexual activity is among life’s greatest pleasures. Emotionally it is often connected with forming a pair bond, i.e., falling in love and making a long-term commitment to someone. Also, sex can be just a sort of commodity that you can buy, such as via prostitution or pornography.

When the act of rape occurs, it is neither pair-bonding nor commoditizing. It looks like aggression — a show of dominance. (Following a war, it may be a group effort to impregnate the defeated tribe.)

Apart from all that, sexual abuse of children has been incorporated into several different kinds of mind control. That is, one performs sexual actions on a pre-pubertal, or even infant person as part of their training to do what the master wants. It may provide a cheap way for the adult to enjoy some free and kinky sex. But apparently it is all structured, and it does help to enslave the child when accompanied by other tortures.

So far, I have in mind the kind of abuse of children that is not done in a family context but rather a government context. (Think Tavistock.) Still, there is a long history of incest, typically of a child by the father. Did incest emerge naturally, when the male instinct for sex ventured outside of the adult/adult type of sex?

I do not know, but I know that subjecting children to rape became incorporated into some religions. The 17th-century Sabbatean sect of Judaism is only one example — one that Rabbi Martin Edelman rails against in his book Eliminate the Opiate. And as we know from many survivors, the killing of a baby as sacrifices is done in the tradition of burning animals in deference to God. It is very ceremonial and diagnostically involves an altar and blood.

Is the Religious Aspect a Distraction?

Jeffery Epstein’s niece surprisingly announced that her uncle’s sex-thing has connections to the religious entity known as Ba’al. (Note: My Cruden’s Complete Concordance shows 28 references to Ba’al in the Old Testament.) I say Ms Wick’s claim is a bit of a surprise, as for the last two decades most chatter about Epstein has focused on his island as Blackmail Central.

There are plausible claims that Jeff was dictated to by businessman Leslie Wexner, owner of Victoria’s Secret, a chain of shops selling lingerie. And there are plausible claims that Prince Andrew got involved. Who knew that Ba’al played any part? We had not heard of the Epstein style as incorporating ritual sacrifice. It was more like mundane pimping, with some CIA-like surveillance thrown in.

So am I raising this “Anya surprise” to indicate skepticism of her claims? Well, yes, I have at least some doubt as to her authenticity. Numerous commenters at the YouTube video wrote “Hey, Shaun, did you do any vetting?” Attwood introduced his guest without any introduction as to how she came out of the blue. Being a niece with the surname of Epstein at birth, means she must be the daughter of Jeff’s brother Mark, but he has never mentioned kids.

That said, I go along with all her mentions of being taken from her mother, being issued a birth certificate that makes her way younger than she really is, having big gaps of memory, etc. I was interested in her remark that there is a drug she was sometimes given that would make many memories “come flooding back.” The CIA supposedly uses sodium amytal for this but don’t look at me, I can’t vouch for it.

Possible Sneaky Reasons for Today’s Scoop

It’s wonderful that Shaun Attwood’s podcast smoothly accomplished the educational task of telling citizens that lives are broken by such horrible practices. Recall — Anya did not mainly discuss the Lolita Island stuff, she described her own travails (she is now age 39). So I have to feel grateful for that. My own books on the subject, particularly Deliverance (about Pizza-gate) never got the size of audience that Shaun got via his sizzling headline.

However, I must consider what nefarious purpose someone could have in posing as Jeff’s niece. It could help drag the case on, distracting us from many other things, especially war. (Hello!) Anya Wick’s debut on the scene will take up much ink (as you see here!). It also diverts the attention from what was becoming a big deal — the statement by the US president that the Epstein’s file are a hoax.

Many potential jailees could get a reprieve by this new moment of sympathy for a niece of Jeff’s. Note: I have never been shy to say that I feel sorry for Jeff, yes, and for GW Bush who I believe raped many a child. (See Brice Taylor’s book Thanks for the Memories.) He, too was raped left, right, and center.

And I also feel sorry for Ghislaine Maxwell (no relation). Imagine having Robert Maxwell, the media tycoon, for a father. By the way, a commenter under Atwood’s video said that her friend reported a complaint by Ghislaine, at age 18, that Dad had pistol-whipped her.

When Ghislaine was first jailed in 2021, right near my home in New Hampshire, I sent her a letter of condolence over her widowhood (I did not use that word.) Did not get a reply, in fact the jail sent it back to me well after she had been re-positioned in a New York women’s prison. Right now, having been convicted, she is allegedly in a low-security FCI, (Federal Corrections “I” — can’t think what the I is for), in Tallahassee, Florida. But covert expert G5 has said (at GumshoeNews.com) that Ghislaine is in fact back in the UK.

Posting a false or misleading article or video can open new, erroneous, vistas for the guilty. Think of the sob stories related to the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013. While they were getting all the discussion, the real story was completely ignored.

Call the Cops

Right now the emphasis should be on the chain of command (Trump/Bondi/Patel) — a crucial issue in itself. And next is the prosecuting of the blackmailers, for the crime of blackmailing, as such. Puh-leeeze, Americans, stop acting as if it’s acceptable for politicians to be ‘run’ by blackmailers.

As far as I am aware, “Johns” do not get hit with the law, that is, in a normal brothel where prostitutes — “sex workers” in Australia — are over 18. Any rapist of a young teenager should be very worried. See Wendy Hoffman and Anneke Lucas for their life experiences as a child in a brothel.

In conclusion, if I had to bet on it, I would bet that Ms Anya Wick is not Jeffrey Epstein’s niece. And I apologize if I have thus hurt a genuine whistleblower. Maybe she is genuine. Many of the things she said tie in perfectly with what “the guy in Arizona” says. I am referring to John Kennedy, the subject of my latest book, The Historian’s Tale: The Amazing Return of President Knnedy’s Son.

Does it matter if the niece is not a niece? Nah. It matters that many things she talked about are real Yes they ARE real. They are urgent. Come on, pitch in and get involved. This is your chance to give somebody a punch in the jaw.
