Why We May Never Know the Full Truth About the Epstein Files

By Steven Yates

July 31, 2025

Anymore than we’ll ever know the full truth about the 1960s political assassinations.

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to bedevil the Trump administration and divide a substantial segment of Trump’s longstanding support base. No surprises here. Trump promised to have released everything the government had on Epstein, with Attorney General Pamela Bondi saying in February she had a list “sitting on my desk right now” of powerful male clients who’d paid Epstein to bring them underaged girls for illicit sexual favors.

Then the administration backpedaled, with the now-infamous memo Bondi’s Justice Department issued in early July stating that there was no client list and that they had nothing to suggest that Epstein was murdered in prison. Nothing more will be released; nothing to see here. Move on, move on….

Much of the base isn’t buying it, and it can’t be lost on anyone that leftist Democrats are having a field day! They’re promoting the idea that Trump discovered his name in those files, and that’s why he doesn’t want them released. You don’t have to be on the left to think this. Elon Musk made this allegation, and few would call him a leftist.

Yes, there are photographs of the two men in circulation dating from the early 2000s. This doesn’t prove anything salacious was going on. We had Photoshop before the turn of the millennium, after all, and now we have AI. I could ask my friendly neighborhood AI to come up with something suggestive using images of the two men together, and it would do so faster than it took me to write this sentence.

In the absence of a proven-authentic client list, we can’t establish anything although the burden of proof remains on the accusers.

Bondi and others claimed in the infamous memo to have footage of the outside of Epstein’s cell the night of his death: 11 hours of it, showing no one entering or leaving.

One problem is that there’s no evidence that what the video shows really is the outside of Epstein’s cell. The second and bigger problem: the video was clearly doctored. Minutes were missing from it. So sorry, not credible! And the suppressed autopsy report indicating three bones broken in Epstein’s neck in a fashion more consistent with strangulation than suicide by hanging oneself hasn’t gone away.

What’s been released so far isn’t anything we didn’t already know. I was sent a client list last week — via Facebook. And while the list of names was, shall we say, interesting, the person who sent it to me couldn’t confirm its authenticity. If anyone can photoshop an image of Epstein and Trump together, anyone minimally competent with AI could come up with an “Epstein client list.” So I’m unable to run with that, either.

It’s reasonable that there is an authentic client list somewhere. When all is said and done, Epstein was a businessman. Businessmen keep records. Whatever their business is, even if it is something blatantly illegal and immoral, if they didn’t keep records somewhere, their enterprise would fall into chaos. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s trusted sidekick, was given 20 years for trafficking underaged girls. Trafficking them to whom? That’s the question of the moment, or should be.

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino’s remark on X the other day is interesting:

The Director and I are committed to stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations. It is a priority for us. But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned. 

It’s charming that he thinks the U.S. is still a “republic,” but never mind that. A far bigger question: what’s he talking about?

It’s clear from his tone that he’s seen something that shocked him. Perhaps enough to prevent him from following through on his implied threat to resign after the day he had it out with Bondi.

Mainstream corporate media harps incessantly about the “conspiracy theories” surrounding the Epstein files and Epstein’s death. Maybe if these people ever told the truth about anything, we wouldn’t be so “conspiratorial.”

There’s definitely a there there. Obviously someone is hiding that something, and that someone  probably has a great deal of power — including, perchance, the power to eliminate threats. No one wants to have an “unfortunate accident” … or “die by suicide.”

Did Pamela Bondi, having announced that she possessed the Epstein client list, receive unscheduled visitors sometime between February and July? It’s easy to picture men dressed in three-piece suits and dark glasses, shoes black and spit-shined, carrying briefcases, letting her know that pursuing this matter might be hazardous to her health.

Did such men pay Trump himself a visit … assuming he hadn’t figured out the score?

I can’t prove this. So I don’t claim it as fact. But the idea is consistent with everything we know and offers to explain what we don’t know.

Long time readers know how I’ve referenced the entity I sometimes call GloboCorp and sometimes use other designations for: the power elites, the globalists, the plutocratic oligarchy, the global ruling class, etc. All roads lead to the City of London. In my book Four Cardinal Errors (2011), one of the errors I documented was thinking we Americans got fully free of British tentacles of financial elites, even if we came as close as anyone after Andrew Jackson shut down the Second Bank of the United States.

The financial elites created the Federal Reserve in 1913, and by the 1920s the road had become a thoroughfare leading to New York City and Washington, D.C.; shortly thereafter (1930s), it led to Basel, Switzerland (Bank for International Settlements). Interestingly, that same decade saw the rise of an outfit calling itself Technocracy Inc., which envisioned a united North America they would call the North American Technate.

By the 1990s, the globalist mindset and the money behind it, had given rise to a political-economic superhighway with major branches leading to — or through — Brussels, Davos, Tel Aviv, Dubai, Silicon Valley, and elsewhere.

We had, as I’ve long emphasized, a political economy of welfare-statism in reverse: redistribution of wealth upwards, as the rich grew richer through financial instruments, not real work, and the middle class that still believed in work lost ground. This process continued into the 2000s, blowing past the Meltdown of 2008 and then Covid, from which the billionaire class prospered magnanimously while locking down Main Street.

Technocracy has always been the guiding philosophy of this global entity. You should obtain a copy of Patrick Wood’s Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation (2014). Wood, who had worked with the great Antony C. Sutton (they’d collaborated on Trilaterals Over Washington in the 1970s) and has taken on the challenge of exposing what has been the guiding philosophy of the elites: materialist to its core (no God to answer to), the idea that every societal problem has a technological solution, and that we can take charge of our “evolution” and make a better human (transhumanism).

Incidentally, the Canadian branch of Technocracy Inc. had been headed up by a fellow named Joshua Haldemon. Haldemon’s activities ran up against Canadian law (specifically, the country’s Defense of Canada Act). He fled to South Africa to start over there. His daughter was named Maye, and in 1971 Maye gave birth to a son.

The son’s name was Elon Musk.

Musk, whom Trump put in charge of DOGE, grew up with Technocrat ideas, and it would be incredibly naïve to think he and his Silicon Valley cohorts (Peter Thiel is the obvious case) aren’t furthering such ideas today but not calling them that. We’re “building the future” is what they say. But will it be a future any of us want to live in?

Technocracy is a dangerous mindset, because obviously big money is backing it. Very likely there are many superrich who haven’t studied it and don’t get what they’ve committed themselves to.

How does Epstein fit into this equation? How did we get from Technocracy to trafficking underaged girls to powerful closet-pedophiles?

Immense wealth and mastery over technological advances doesn’t solve every human problem, including for those at the top. I imagine some of its upper echelon personnel growing supremely bored in their off hours. Completely absent morality, some could be drawn into the sorts of sexual games Epstein specialized in.

If your outlook on the universe is fundamentally amoral, you don’t see anything wrong with using people as objects to achieve your goals, or satiate your appetite for sexual pleasure.

And you probably have a goon squad on call — a close-knit group of loyal sociopaths who will threaten whom they’re told to threaten and kill if they’re told to kill. Being sociopaths, they won’t empathize or suffer moral guilt afterwards.

Is this the final truth about the Epstein files, that they contain names of the people in the upper echelons of this global octopus?

If so, we peasants can be sure we’ll never see them — not see an authenticated client list, that is, as opposed to something ganked from social media.

For the same reasons that we’ve been unable to learn the final truth about the Kennedy assassinations, and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., all of whom posed threats to what the global powers of the day wanted — e.g., the war in Vietnam which RFK Sr. opposed, and to which Dr. King was turning his attention when he was murdered.

These people love war! Which is why wars keep happening (even Trump has been pulled into the ongoing Middle East conflict which the Anglo-American-Israeli Establishment started). War is profitable and, maybe, to their perverted worldview, even sexy! But not sexy enough! Hence the market for underaged girls, in which billions of dollars change hands underground every year, with Jeffrey Epstein most likely one of their most reliable foot soldiers. His exposure — and the possibility of his choosing to tell where the bodies are buried — posed an existential threat to the global octopus’s continued dominance.

A theory only. Of course. A full release, with full authentication, of everything related to Jeffrey Epstein could prove me wrong. If what I’ve written above captures just part of the truth, then we’ll never see anything credible — any more than we’ve been able to gain closure on the 1960s assassinations.

Almost no one thinks pedophilia is acceptable under any circumstances. So were the truth to come out, and it’s this or anything close to this, the global peasantry would finally respond, organize behind real leadership, and cut off the octopus’s head.
