Jeffrey Epstein’s secret ‘tunnel’ underneath island lair as sinister ‘trapdoor’ is revealed in files

Jeffrey Epstein appeared obsessed with a ‘tunnel’ at his Caribbean island lair, emails released by the Department of Justice suggest.

For years, the late pedophile took a great personal interest in the tunnel, sending emails to staff to check on renovations.

The first message about it in millions of files released by the DOJ appears to have been in August 2009 when Epstein received an email discussing plans for a Virgin Islands architecture firm to do work at his home on the island of Little Saint James.

The email referred to a previous ‘team that added tunnels and office below the main house’ in the past.

The architecture firm subsequently confirmed it was contracted to build a ‘subterranean screening room,’ but it severed ties with Epstein and that was never built.

In 2012, Epstein sent a message to an aide saying: ‘Thanks, i want the floor done in the wood tunnel. all the equptent m=ved out floor done on thurs left till monday. thanks.’

Then, in a flurry of emails, starting in April 2015, he was told by an aide: ‘Tunnel floor completed.’

Two months later, he was sent an email headed ‘tunnel/ maint’ which said: ‘As requested, floor plans of the existing “tunnel” building and m=intenance building with square footages.’

Several months after that, he asked an aide ‘why are the rusty lockers still there? and was told ‘I’ll throw them out in the morning.’

In November 2017, Epstein sent an email to two others convening a conference about the tunnel.

He wrote: ‘id like to have a c=ll with you both, today.. i need help thinking about ho= to reorganie the island. move laundry, ? addtiona= staff. . ? tunnel move.’

He later followed up with: ‘tunnel with cots ? ballet room? co=t you less. . be generous with those that work.’

Iowa Dem Accepts $250K from Epstein-Linked Billionaire Who Stayed at Townhouse, Flew to Island

A $250,000 campaign contribution to Iowa State Auditor and gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand (D-IA) was made by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, whose visits to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, New York townhouse, and New Mexico ranch are documented in emails released by the Department of Justice.

The Iowa GOP flagged the donation in a February press release, pointing to Hoffman’s well-documented history with Epstein. Hoffman, a longtime Democrat financier and founder of LinkedIn, is featured in Justice Department documents detailing plans to visit Epstein’s private island, his New Mexico ranch, and his Manhattan townhouse. One email from Epstein’s assistant about a 2014 itinerary includes the note, “Reid will take a Virgin America flight… to Fort Lauderdale,” part of travel arrangements described elsewhere in the documents as a trip to Epstein’s private island, Little St. James.

Further emails released by the DOJ show Epstein telling his assistant, “I have [Reid’s] passport. Found in the gift bag they had given me.” In another, Epstein casually references Hoffman in correspondence with Elon Musk, inquiring about holiday plans at St. Barts. Neither Hoffman nor any other figures mentioned in the documents have been charged with any crime related to Epstein.

Despite Hoffman’s past admissions — including acknowledging his visit to Epstein Island and a planned overnight stay at Epstein’s New York townhouse in 2014 — he has defended the interactions as being associated with MIT fundraising efforts. He later told the Wall Street Journal, “It gnaws at me that, by lending my association, I helped his reputation… I am sorry for my personal misjudgment.”

Hoffman helped fund E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump through a nonprofit organization he primarily financed, according to court disclosures. He has also funneled money through various progressive nonprofit networks, including the Good Information Foundation—an organization accused by attorney Preston Moore of offering payments to social media influencers to produce anti-Trump content, in apparent violation of federal tax law governing 501(c)(3) groups. In 2024, Hoffman’s longtime political adviser, Dmitri Mehlhorn, reportedly emailed journalists suggesting that the assassination attempt on Trump may have been staged—suggesting it was a “classic Putin play”—and urged the media to explore the theory publicly.

Iowa Republicans are calling on Sand to address the Hoffman contribution directly. “Will he return the money, or is this who he really answers to? Iowans deserve to know,” said Iowa GOP spokesperson Jade Cichy.

This donation follows a $50,000 contribution Sand previously accepted from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a billionaire Democrat described by the Iowa GOP as “one of the most liberal governors in the country,” whose administration has enacted policies including taxpayer-funded gender transitions for minors, sanctuary protections for illegal immigrants, a no-cash-bail law, and some of the strictest gun control measures in the nation.

The Worldwide Humiliation of Bill Gates: From Tech God to Global Embarrassment

Perhaps it’s unfair. After all, the most damning email in the Jeffrey Epstein treasure trove was one that Epstein sent to himself.

From The Times of England:

Bill Gates planned to give his wife antibiotics without her knowledge fearing he had caught a sexually transmitted infection from “Russian girls”, Jeffrey Epstein claimed in an email that was released by the US Department of Justice on Friday.

Epstein, the late paedophile financier, alleged that the Microsoft billionaire had asked him to procure the medication in what appeared to be draft emails he sent to himself, addressed to “Bill”, on July 18, 2013.

Nonetheless, the salaciousness of the email made it go viral:

“To add insult to the injury you then subsequently with tears in your eyes, implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis,” Epstein wrote.

The documents suggest that some of the emails may have been drafts of a letter of resignation that Epstein wrote in the voice of Boris Nikolic, an adviser to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. One of those emails that Epstein apparently sent to himself spoke of being “caught up in a severe marital dispute between Melinda and Bill”.

It said: “In my role as his right hand man I have been asked and wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from the morally inappropriate, to the ethically unsound and have been repeatedly asked to do things that get near and potentially over the line into the illegal.”

He wrote: “From helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trysts, with married women, to being asked to provide adderall for bridge tournaments, as I am a medical doctor, but have no prescriptions writing ability.”

Pandemics for Profit: Jeffrey Epstein Was a Pandemic Power Broker

In the sordid underbelly of elite philanthropy, where altruism masks avarice and power brokers play god with global crises, the Jeffrey Epstein files have detonated a revelation that should outrage every thinking citizen. Buried amid the salacious headlines of Epstein’s depravity lies a damning blueprint: a two-decade financial colossus engineered to commodify pandemics, turning human suffering into a gilded revenue stream. Offshore vaccine slush funds, automated reinsurance payouts, and donor-advised facades masquerading as charity weren’t hasty reactions to COVID-19; they were premeditated mechanisms, forged in the fires of foresight by Bill Gates, JPMorgan Chase, and their convicted intermediary, the infamous Jeffrey Epstein. 

The DOJ’s release puts the smoking-gun documents in plain view, and they don’t whisper. They just scream complicity in a system where “preparedness” is just a polite word for predation.

This isn’t mere coincidence or benign planning, but a calculated hijacking of public health for private empire-building. As Sayer Ji meticulously dissects in his exhaustive Substack investigation, “The Epstein Files Illuminate a 20-Year ‘Architecture Behind Pandemics’” as a business model. With Bill Gates at the Centre of the network, the evidence paints a portrait of institutional rot. Ji’s piece, a forensic tour de force drawing on emails, agreements, and texts from 2011 to 2019, exposes how pandemics were pre-packaged as an asset class, with Gates’ fingerprints everywhere. For those unwilling or unable to plunge into the 5,000-plus words of granular detail, here’s the unvarnished truth: this was no noble quest to save humanity; it was a rigged game where the house, Gates and his cronies always win.

Let’s cut through the euphemisms. In 2011, JPMorgan’s top brass didn’t consult ethicists or public health experts for their Gates-tied donor-advised fund. Instead, they chose to grovel before Epstein, a registered sex offender fresh from his slap-on-the-wrist conviction. Emails reveal him dictating the architecture: “additional money for vaccines,” an “offshore arm, especially for vaccines,” and perpetual structures with arm’s-length profit laundering. Epstein wasn’t a bit player; he was the maestro, coaching executives on Gates’ “frustrations” and insisting vaccines be the seductive hook. Why? Because in this twisted calculus, vaccines aren’t lifesavers, they’re capital magnets, de-risked by philanthropic guarantees that socialise losses while privatising gains. The Global Health Investment Fund (GHIC), unveiled in 2013, promised 5-7% returns on drugs and vaccines, backed by Gates’ 60% principal shield. Public money absorbs the flops, and all that was left for the elites to do was to pocket the windfalls.

By 2017, the system had calcified. Internal emails reveal “pandemic” listed as a core category for Donor-Advised Funds (DAF), treated as a permanent, profit-generating vertical on par with energy. Epstein’s messages show him placing people into Gates’ inner office, Boris Nikolic’s venture fund Biomatics CapitalMerck’s vaccine operations, and Swiss Re’s pandemic reinsurance programs, where “parametric triggers” automatically pay out when a pandemic is declared. Simulation exercises were no civic duty—they were career currency, a credential in an insular, self-reinforcing network. Gates’ bgC3 office treated “strain pandemic simulation” alongside defense technology initiatives, while Epstein continued funnelling personnel and even offering connections to the incoming Trump administration. Meanwhile, the International Peace Institute’s 2015 pandemic convenings were formally coordinated with Gates but privately routed through Epstein’s social channels, including dinners with IPI’s president Rød-Larsen.

Ultra-powerful NYC lawyer grovels over appalling email he sent Jeffrey Epstein asking predator to get his nepo son work on Woody Allen movie

Brad Karp, chairman of major law firm Paul Weiss, said he regretted his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein after asking the disgraced financier to help get his son a job. 

Karp worked for private equity investor Leon Black for several years and negotiated a series of ‘dispute fees’ between Black and Epstein. 

The latest file drop from the Department of Justice featured dozens of emails between Karp and Epstein – including the lawyer asking Epstein for help getting his Cornell-graduate son an unpaid job working for Hollywood’s rich and famous. 

In June 2016, Karp pitched his son, David, to aid Woody Allen with an ‘upcoming film project.’ He wrote in the email, which was exposed in the Department of Justice’s files drop: ‘He certainly doesn’t need to be paid and he’s a really good, talented kid.’ 

‘I will ask, of course,’ Epstein responded. 

The powerful lawyer was invited to multiple dinners at Epstein’s New York City mansion – and gushed about how he had such a great time that ‘I’ll never forget.’ 

In a statement obtained by the New York Times, Paul Weiss issued an apology on Karp’s behalf. 

‘Mr. Karp attended two group dinners in New York City and had a small number of social interactions by email, all of which he regrets,’ it read.

Police probing claims ‘second Epstein victim was jetted to the UK for sex with then-Prince Andrew’

Police are ‘assessing’ allegations that a second woman was sent to the UK by Jeffrey Epstein for a sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

In a statement, Thames Valley Police said: ‘We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes.

‘We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures.’

‘We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward.

‘At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley Police by either the lawyer or their client.’

The unnamed woman says she was taken to Buckingham Palace for tea afterwards.

The woman says she was in her 20s when, at Epstein’s request, she spent a night with Andrew at his Royal Lodge home in 2010.

The claims mark the first time an Epstein accuser has alleged a sexual encounter at a royal residence.

Her US lawyer, Brad Edwards, previously told the Daily Mail: ‘She was severely exploited by Jeffrey Epstein. An extension of that was the exploitation of her by Prince Andrew.

‘She’s a strong person. She wants to believe in justice but it’s very difficult in light of what she knows.

‘We need some cooperation and we need somebody with a conscience and a real desire to make things right.’

Mr Edwards previously sued Andrew on behalf of Virginia Giuffre, who alleged she had sex with the former Duke of York in London, New York and on Epstein’s Caribbean island.

The now ex-prince settled for a reported £12million before the case went to trial but without admitting liability. He has vehemently denied the allegations.

Andrew’s relationship with Epstein has been thrown under the spotlight once more after over three million documents linked to the paedophile financier were published by the US Department of Justice on Friday.

The King’s brother features a number of times in the documents, including images apparently showing him crouch over an unidentified woman in what appears to be Epstein’s New York mansion.

The former prince and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson appear in email exchanges with Epstein, with Andrew appearing to invite him to Buckingham Palace, and Sarah apparently saying: ‘I am at your service. Just marry me.’

Epstein also appears to introduce Andrew to a woman described by the paedophile as ’26, Russian, clevere (sic) beautiful, trustworthy’, while in the same month, Andrew also apparently tells Epstein: ‘Wish I was still a pet in your family.’

On the Emails Between Jeffrey Epstein and Noam Chomsky

I am heartsick.

As a young boy, I experienced horrific sexual violence, which I have written about before and which continues to mark me even decades later. It means that I cannot tolerate anyone who exploits young children in a way that is not merely moral but physical: I am utterly repulsed by anyone who harms children and shudder when I hear anyone who even disciplines a child. Two of my children are adults, and two are still children and with each of them I have felt and feel deeply about their fragilities and their futures. For me, there are no second chances for a person who violates a child.

I read about the Jeffrey Epstein case because it hurts me greatly to read about the dangerous violence inflicted on children and young people.

But of course, it was impossible to ignore the emails between my friend and collaborator Noam Chomsky and Epstein. I have read what I can, and I have seen what I need to see. Noam has been a great mentor for me, and we have made two books together (the last one, his final book). Both books were written around the time that he was in correspondence with Epstein. But nothing in our many discussions brought up any of the themes in that correspondence or of the fact that he was meeting Epstein. Noam and I talked about US imperialism and its crimes, and then about Cuba. The only personal other thing we talked about other than these political matters was our love of dogs and the Arabic language.

Since Noam cannot speak or write and explain his relationship with Epstein, the matter is fraught. There is nothing to say on his behalf. When the photos and emails appeared, I was immediately disgusted by Epstein’s paedophilia, and so by Noam’s friendship with him. There is no defence for this, in my view, no context that can explain this outrage.

Epstein represented Mossad and Rothschild banking empire while arranging ‘honey traps’ meant to compromise and control high-level politicians and power elites

Everything we expected to be in the Epstein files has turned out to be true, and then some.

Allegations of rape, murder, even torture of children, are all on full display in the millions of pages of documents released by the DOJ over the weekend.

This is truly a “we can do anything and get away with it” statement by the billionaire globalist elites who run the world. They are Luciferian to the core.

We can’t drive out of our driveways with an expired tag or insufficient insurance coverage without facing stiff punishments, but they can get away with raping and abusing children and know they will suffer zero consequences.

The Associated Press reported that a top Justice Department official played down the possibility of additional criminal charges arising from the Jeffrey Epstein files, saying Sunday that the existence of “horrible photographs” and troubling email correspondence does not “allow us necessarily to prosecute somebody.”

It was almost exactly one year ago that many of the most well-known MAGA influencers posed outside the DOJ holding little white Epstein binders titled “THE EPSTEIN FILES PHASE 1.” Those binders were, of course, devoid of any substantive information on Epstein or his network of billionaire pedophiles.

Now that an actual Epstein data has been dumped, most of those same influencers are silent. Those who have posted stories seem to be running cover for the administration.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche all but stated in an interview with CNN that there will be no charges filed against anyone as a result of the documents that were released Sunday, even though they included images and statements that would make Charles Manson cringe.

House Democrat Appears Hundreds of Times in New Epstein Documents

A Democratic member of Congress who was caught texting Jeffrey Epstein during a House hearing has had even more connections to Epstein exposed in the latest Epstein files document dump.

According to a series of 2014 emails, which came several years after Epstein’s Florida conviction on sex crimes, Democratic Delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands Stacey Plaskett arranged to visit Epstein’s island, according to political news outlet NOTUS.

“Will you be able to meet with Jeffrey on his island on Monday Aug. 18th at 11 am?” an Epstein assistant asked Plaskett.

Plaskett was noted in the files touching base with Epstein again in 2017.

Epstein assistant Lesley Groff scheduled a “phone date” between Epstein and Plaskett.

In 2016, Groff wrote Plaskett that “Jeffrey has tried for you a few times on your cell but has been unsuccessful” and urged her to call him.

“Thanks. Spoke with him,” Plaskett responded five minutes later.

The newly released files showed Plaskett contacting Epstein to secure campaign donations in 2017 and 2018.

In September 2018, Plaskett texted Epstein, writing, “I know you’re tremendously busy. Thanks so much for taking time and sharing ideas and thoughts. I appreciate your support and hope I’m not presumptuous to consider you a friend,” according to the New York Post.

“Privileged to be called friend [sic],” he replied.

On May 13, 2019, Epstein wished Plaskett a happy birthday. She asked how he knew the date.

“You told me when you were in my office,” Epstein replied. She then reponed to him that, “You’re good.”

Epstein replied, “No I’m bad, but I’m thoughtful.”

The Washington Post reported last year that during a February 2019 hearing, Epstein texted Plaskett, writing “Great outfit”

“You look great,” he texted at 10:22 a.m. “Thanks!” she said in reply.

The Post said one minute after Plaskett was on TV making chewing motions, Epstein asked her, “Are you chewing[?]”

“Not any more,” she replied. “Chewing interior of my mouth. Bad habit from middle school”

One minute after Plaskett finished questioning former Trump attorney Michael Cohen at the hearing, Epstein wrote her, saying, “Good work.”

In November, the House held a vote on censuring Plaskett, but it failed.

“Ask Jeffrey”: Epstein Ran Wexner’s Pro-Israel Philanthropy Machine, Emails Reveal

Six months after Jeffrey Epstein’s death in August 2019, the philanthropic foundation founded by billionaire fashion tycoon Leslie Wexner published an “independent review” of Epstein’s involvement in the organization, in response to concerns raised by donors and alumni of foundation-funded programs. The Wexner Foundation is one of the largest contributors to pro-Israel causes in the U.S.

The review claimed that Wexner Foundation staff had “no contact” with Epstein after his resignation as a trustee in September 2007, and, before that, he had “played no role in the management or administration of the Foundation’s operations,” had “no meaningful role in the Foundation’s budget [or] finances,” and “did not make decisions regarding the use of Foundation’s funds.” None of that is true.

Hundreds of leaked emails from Epstein’s Yahoo inbox, spanning from 2005 to 2008, contradict the Wexner Foundation report. Inside the Wexners’ family financial office in Ohio, staff treated Epstein as de facto chief financial officer, where major decisions about taxes, lines of credit, eight-figure funds transfers, and politically sensitive grants were routed through Epstein’s lawyer, and required Epstein’s approval.
