TEHRAN – The unsealing of a three-million-page digital archive by the U.S. Department of Justice has unleashed a tectonic shift in European politics, exposing a necrotizing web of corruption and state-level betrayal.
While the American political class remains largely insulated, the United Kingdom is currently undergoing a purge of its neoliberal vanguard, most notably Peter Mandelson—the “prince of darkness” whose decades of shadowy influence have finally hit a criminal wall.
The fallout reached a fever pitch this week as Mandelson resigned from the House of Lords and saw his properties in London and Wiltshire raided by the Metropolitan Police.
Emerging evidence from the files suggests that Mandelson, while serving as Business Secretary, utilized his cabinet position to leak market-sensitive data and classified government bailout plans—including details on the 2008 financial crisis and the €500 billion Greek debt package—to Jeffrey Epstein.
These leaks allegedly facilitated illicit gains for the financier’s inner circle, representing a profound breach of the Official Secrets Act.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, now fighting for his political life, admitted he was aware of Mandelson’s “friendship” before appointing him as Ambassador to Washington in 2024 but claimed the peer “lied repeatedly” about the relationship’s depth.
The scandal has ignited a broader firestorm across the continent, revealing a globalized system of elite impunity.
In Norway, former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland is under investigation for aggravated corruption, while celebrated diplomat Mona Juul was suspended after it was revealed Epstein willed $10 million to her children.
These revelations paint a grim picture of a transatlantic elite bound by Epstein’s intelligence-led “honeytraps” and the exploitation of geopolitical chaos.
Perhaps most damning are the connections to Israeli intelligence assets.
The documents detail Epstein’s role as a “fixer” for Mossad-linked ventures, involving figures like former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak in sophisticated surveillance and influence operations.
These files suggest Epstein exploited geopolitical flashpoints, from Libya to Ukraine, treating war-torn regions as “resources” for both human trafficking and disaster capitalism.
“As you probably know, I represent the Rothschilds,” Epstein wrote in a 2016 email to Peter Thiel.
As the UK government teeters and the public demands the full release of vetting documents, the Epstein archive stands as a definitive ledger of a collapsing Western moral order.
The sacrificial lambs currently being purged may only be the beginning of a total dismantling of the entrenched networks of power that have long shielded these predators.
