Jeffrey Epstein Aided Alan Dershowitz’s Attack on Mearsheimer and Walt’s “Israel Lobby”
Epstein and Alan Dershowitz collaborated on smear campaigns against Mearsheimer, Walt, and an underage assault victim making allegations against Epstein—in the same week.
In March 2006, the Harvard Kennedy School published a working paper, “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy,” by influential political scientists John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt. The paper, which ran in the London Review of Books and became the basis for a book published the following year, was an unflinching analysis of the impact of pro-Israel advocacy and lobbying groups on the U.S. political system, and the role of organizations like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in shaping U.S. foreign policy towards the Middle East.
Mearsheimer and Walt described a loose coalition of philanthropists, think tanks, advocacy groups, and Christian Zionist organizations that routinely pulled U.S. policy toward the Middle East away from America’s national interest, as the U.S. was being drawn into a military quagmire in Iraq. “Other special interest groups have managed to skew U.S. foreign policy in directions they favored,” Walt and Mearsheimer wrote, “but no lobby has managed to divert U.S. foreign policy as far from what the American national interest would otherwise suggest, while simultaneously convincing Americans that U.S. and Israeli interests are essentially identical.”

Even before the Kennedy School posted the paper online, the project had already spooked editors at The Atlantic, who originally commissioned the essay in the early 2000s. In an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier this year, Mearsheimer revealed that the editor of The Atlantic offered them a “$10,000 kill fee” if the publication didn’t print the article. Mearsheimer said, “That’s the fastest $10,000 we ever made.” ...
Unknown at the time, Jeffrey Epstein gave feedback on talking points to discredit Mearsheimer and Walt, and used his extensive social network to circulate allegations of anti-semitism against the two scholars. Details of Epstein’s role in the backlash to the “Israel Lobby” paper come from a trove of emails obtained by the non-profit whistleblower organization Distributed Denial of Secrets and provided to Drop Site News. ...
The behind-the-scenes campaign of subversion ironically affirmed the key tenets of the Walt and Mearsheimer paper. In other words, wealthy and well-connected men were deploying their financial resources and connections in order to undercut a paper claiming that wealthy and well-connected men were using their wealth and financial resources for the benefit of the state of Israel and against the interests of the United States.

Only 6% of Americans satisfied with Epstein files release, most say US government withholding information: Poll
Poll finds 2/3 believe government is intentionally holding back information, as Justice Department says less than 1% of files have been released despite legal deadline
A federal judge has shut down an effort by two House lawmakers to force the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to immediately release all remaining files related to Jeffrey Epstein, ruling that the court lacks jurisdiction to intervene.
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer issued a seven-page decision rejecting a request from Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to participate in the closed criminal case of Ghislaine Maxwell as amici curiae, or “friends of the court.”
Khanna and Massie had asked Engelmayer to appoint a special master to oversee the DOJ’s compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), a law they authored and that was signed by President Donald Trump last year.
The statute requires the Justice Department to make public all evidence gathered during decades of investigations into Epstein.
The lawmakers argued that without court oversight, the DOJ could not be trusted to release all required materials and suggested delays were politically motivated.
9 Democrats Voted with Republicans to Hold Clintons in Contempt of Congress
The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability voted Wednesday to advance contempt of Congress resolutions against Bill and Hillary Clinton after the Democrat power couple refused to comply with lawful subpoenas related to the committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
In a striking development, several Democrats, including members aligned with the party’s progressive wing, joined Republicans in voting to hold Bill Clinton in contempt, signaling growing pressure on the Clintons even within their own party.
Among the Democrats voting with Republicans were Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), both of whom are typically reliable opponents of GOP-led oversight efforts.
The committee voted 34–9 to advance contempt proceedings against Bill Clinton and 28–15 against Hillary Clinton.
A British countess, who married into one of the most powerful dynasties in Europe, has been identified in newly unearthed documents as an alleged close associate of the late child trafficker, raising disturbing questions about how deeply Epstein’s network penetrated the upper ranks of society.
Glamorous interior designer Clare Hazell married Arthur Edward Guinness, heir to the Guinness brewing empire.
When she wed Guinness, the 4th Earl of Iveagh, she ascended overnight into the elite world of British nobility.
The softly spoken woman from Reading, once a part-time model who studied philosophy at an obscure Midwestern university, became Countess of Iveagh, mistress of a 23,000-acre country estate and part of one of the most storied families in Europe.
But according to a months-long investigation by The Mail on Sunday, that fairy-tale rise concealed a far darker past.
Flight Logs, Federal Alerts, and the Epstein Inner Circle
Newly uncovered documents from the Epstein Files, currently under review by the U.S. Congress, show that before marrying into the Guinness dynasty, Hazell was allegedly deep inside Epstein’s inner circle.
Flight records indicate she traveled on Epstein’s private jet, the infamous “Lolita Express,” at least 40 times in just four years.
She flew on the jet to Epstein’s private “Pedophile Island” in the Caribbean and properties in New York, Ohio, and New Mexico.
On at least one of those flights, she was reportedly accompanied by former Prince Andrew, whose association with Epstein has been widely documented.
On nearly every trip, Epstein himself was present, often alongside his sex trafficking accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell
Maxwell is now serving a 20-year prison sentence for trafficking minors to Epstein and his powerful associates. ...
The countess died two days before Christmas at age 51 after a battle with brain cancer.
With the allegations only now emerging, the countess has now taken her secret to the grave.
Sources say Hazell first encountered Epstein in Britain before being invited to the United States.
In the U.S., she befriended Maxwell and became financially dependent on Epstein.
She enrolled at Ohio State University, which received millions in donations from Epstein’s sole client, billionaire Les Wexner.
Former classmates say Epstein paid for her tuition, housing, and living expenses, effectively acting as her “benefactor.”
Friends recall her living in luxury apartments, frequenting elite country clubs, and routinely jetting off to Epstein’s properties, including the notorious “Pedophile Island.”
“She referred to him as her benefactor,” one former university friend said.
After intense public pressure, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025. Trump signed the bill into law, which set a 30-day deadline for the Department of Justice to make the files public.
Despite the law, only one percent of the files have been released so far – and the DOJ continues to drag its feet. ...
After noting there hasn't been a new release of files "for a minute" and the materials that were released had been heavily redacted, Ahmad said the delay has been "drowned out" by fraud investigations of businesses run by Somali immigrants and the ICE agent-involved fatal shooting.
"It feels like that's completely drowned out anything about it," Ahmad added, to which Rogan agreed with a whisper, "I think some of that’s on purpose."
Rogan also mocked MAGA influencers who dedicated months, if not years in some cases, to demanding the release of the files only to pivot during Trump's second administration.
The podcast host took a dig at influencers gathering at the White House last year to receive binders of documents related to the Epstein files in a so-called attempt at "transparency."
Only to learn the binders were full of information that had already been released.
"So a federal judge said, 'No, you can’t force them to release it,' even though you campaigned on it," Rogan said. "You really ran out, you stood outside with a bunch of binders, 'We've got it.'"
TikTok has banned all messages containing the word "Epstein"
Larry Ellison, America's 2nd richest man completed the purchase of TikTok on January 22, 2026.
