How Proving Epstein was an Israeli Agent Exposed the Coalition That Attacked Democracy in 2016

This is the original second episode of the Secret Life of Jeffrey Epstein that aired in 2019.

Our 2019 investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's intelligence connections led us to Ehud Barak—and through that connection, we made two revelations that has proven accurate. The emergence of "Enemies of Democracy" including China, and the coming surveillance state.

Following the Money to Israeli Intelligence

The path to proving Epstein was an Israeli agent ran directly through Ehud Barak. In 2004, Les Wexner's foundation—while Epstein served as trustee—gave Barak $2.3 million for research studies that were never properly completed. In 2015, Epstein personally invested $1 million in Barak's company.

Barak used Epstein's money to fund Carbyne, a surveillance company with founders directly connected to Israeli military intelligence: Alex Dizengof (cybersecurity software for the Israeli Prime Minister's office), Amir Elichai (Unit 8200 elite signals intelligence), and Lital Leshem (IDF Major and former Black Cube director).

The Carbyne technology could access phone cameras, location data, criminal records, and personal files the moment Americans dialed 911, routing all data through foreign servers. This was Israeli intelligence technology embedded directly in American emergency response systems.

The First Forecast: Enemies of Democracy Including China

Our investigation revealed how Erik Prince—Betsy DeVos's brother and Blackwater founder—served as deputy chairman of Frontier Services Group, with major Chinese investment through CITIC Corporation. Prince's company planned training facilities in Xinjiang alongside IDF Major Lital Leshem.

This connected Chinese surveillance operations directly to Israeli intelligence and America’s political networks through the same figures manipulating U.S. elections.

"We're talking about what looks like all these nation states coming together to manipulate Americans," we concluded in 2019. We identified Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, Russia, and China as coordinated "enemies of democracy" working to undermine American institutions.

Six years ago, this multinational conspiracy framework seemed difficult to reconcile with the way the world worked then but today, it's the accepted understanding of threats facing American democracy.
