[DavidReaboi] In The Epstein Conspiracy, David Reaboi, a longtime writer on political warfare and information operations, shows that Russia very likely manufactured, laundered, and activated that lie as information warfare. Its real target is America’s capacity to reason about its own national interests.
The Jewish Question has returned to the center of American political life. Claims of hidden Jewish control that once lived on the white-nationalist fringe now run through mainstream broadcasts on the Right and the Left. Their entry point was a single lie: that Jeffrey Epstein ran a sexual-blackmail operation for Israeli intelligence. It has convinced millions of Americans that their leaders are compromised and their wars are fought on Israel’s orders.
Reaboi traces the claim from a single discredited source, through progressively more credible outlets and Russian state media, to America’s largest podcasts. He then tests the case against the criteria once used to attribute Soviet disinformation: operational signature, strategic interest, and institutional architecture.
The book also contains the first English translation of excerpts from Aleksandr Dugin’s Konspirologiya, annotated by Reaboi. They reveal the doctrine behind the operation: antisemitic conspiracy theories as weapons against an open society. Reaboi argues that the United States must move beyond content moderation, treat such operations as foreign attacks, and identify and disrupt the intelligence services and operators behind them. |
