British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has publicly admitted he regrets appointing veteran Labour figure Peter Mandelson as the United Kingdom’s ambassador to the United States, as fresh revelations about Mandelson’s links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein triggered a political storm and a criminal investigation. Addressing Parliament on Wednesday (February 4), Starmer said Mandelson had repeatedly misled his office during the vetting process for the Washington role, failing to fully disclose the nature and extent of his relationship with Epstein. The prime minister said that had the full facts been known at the time, Mandelson would never have been appointed.&nbsp;“This is not just a matter of poor judgment,” Starmer told MPs. “He betrayed our country, lied repeatedly, and fundamentally misrepresented his relationship with Epstein.” The controversy has intensified following the release of new documents by the US Justice Department, including email exchanges that suggest Mandelson shared confidential economic briefings with Epstein while serving as a senior minister under former prime minister Gordon Brown.

'Likely a Russian spy': Poland to probe Epstein's links to Russia amid mention of Putin over 1000 times in emails

One specific fax from Epstein's files, which is a wire-transfer document associated with JPMorgan, is being circulated online with claims of occult symbolism tied to Epstein. The Epstein case is still shrouded in secrecy and has eroded the trust of individuals in powerful institutions. It already has the elements that breaks the moral authority society by exploiting weakest and vulnerable, with tendencies of elite protection. So it becomes smooth to jump from a disgraced sex-trafficker to occult practitioner, given that there were several references to the dismemberment of babies and ritualistic sacrifices, eventhough they were not verified by court records.<h2>Red flags in the document&nbsp;</h2>The 2009 JP Morgan internal memo shows that Jeffrey Epstein, already a convicted sex offender who pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution, was being offered a wire transfer on direct instruction. Sex offenders and facilitators of sex crime are usually considered high-risk clients, but he continued with the privileges. This is a major red flag, as a renowned bank is providing a high-risk client manual oversight rather than automated processes for a small transaction. JP Morgan's legal response was that they were not aware of his sex trafficking activities, and it exited from any relationship with Epstein after 2013. However, it had itself raised a SAR (suspicious activity report) in 2000-2002 involving unusual payments, yet they continued to provide services to him.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/epstein-files-robert-maxwell-mossad-allegations-1770127431656">Did Robert Maxwell threaten Mossad?

<h2>Who is Baal? How did this Epstein document spark occult claims online?</h2>But what drew the attention of netizens was the mention of the term “Baal”, which is likely to be a technical error for Bank. The term Baal is a reference to the Canaanite deity who was the God of storms, rain, and fertility. He was the rival of Yahweh in the Hebrew Bible and was demonised in the Abrahamic religions. His worship was connected to ritualistic sacrifices, with some scholars connecting it to child sacrifices. The recently released Epstein files had several allegations of child dismemberment, sacrifice and torture. So the severe institutional lethargy in persecuting the convict, the association with elite and powerful figures, leaps to hidden power and occult rituals more easily. Moreover, there is a temple, a boxy, blue-and-white striped building located on the Little St James Island's southwest point, had been a point of intense speculation. The temple had a golden dome at its top. According to the legal documents, there is a piano in the room with some elaborate mural depicting constellations and mythical creatures. The building's outside becomes an anchor for further speculations.

A 2009 JPMorgan wire-transfer document from the Epstein files has gone viral over a “Baal” reference, fuelling occult claims online. Here’s what the document shows, why it raised red flags, and how misinformation spreads.

The US &nbsp;Department of Justice (DOJ) &nbsp;has removed thousands of documents from the Jeffrey Epstein Files from its website after the identities of the victims were allegedly compromised. Legal aides of the victims said a lack of redactions in the files released on Friday had "turned upside down" the lives of nearly 100 survivors. The documents also had email addresses and nude photos along with the names of the potential victims. The survivors of the sex offence issued a statement calling the disclosure "outrageous" and said they should not be "named, scrutinised and retraumatised".&nbsp;The DOJ said it had taken down all the flagged files and that mistakes were due to "technical or human error". The department submitted a letter to a deferral judge on Monday (Feb 2) saying, &nbsp;"All documents requested by victims or counsel to be removed by yesterday evening have been removed for further redaction."&nbsp;&nbsp;As per the terms of release of the documents, the federal government was required to redact details which could identify victims. On Friday (Jan 30), two lawyers representing the victims asked a federal judge in New York to order the DOJ to take down the website hosting the files, calling the release "the single most egregious violation of victim privacy in one day in United States history".&nbsp;The department also said it was checking if any other documents need further redaction. Annie Farmer, one of the Epstein survivors, told the BBC, "It's hard to focus on the new information that has been brought to light because of how much damage the DOJ has done by exposing survivors in this way."&nbsp;Another of Epstein's victims, Lisa Phillips, told the outlet that the survivors were "very unhappy with the outcome" of the release. "The DOJ has violated all three of our requirements," she told BBC's Newsday on Tuesday, adding: “Number one, many documents still haven't been disclosed. Number two, the date set for release has long passed. And number three, DOJ released the names of many of the survivors.” She further said, "We feel like they're playing some games with us but we're not going to stop fighting."

British media mogul Robert Maxwell father of Ghislaine Maxwell, who died under mysterious circumstances, has been mentioned in the Epstein Files. In the recently released Epstein's mail, he was claiming that Robert Maxwell threatened to expose all Mossad operations unless he was paid £400 mn to save his collapsing business empire.&nbsp;Epstein claimed that Robert had access to Margaret Thatcher in Downing Street and Ronald Reagan in White House. He was also acting as the unofficial ambassador of the Soviet Bloc."In that time, he had free access to Margaret Thatcher's Downing Street, t= Ronald Reagan's White House, to the Kremlin and to the corridors of power throughout Europe," wrote Epstein.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/epstein-emails-jewish-supremacist-conspiracy-elite-dinners-1770096649080">Epstein emails expose elite dinner talk on Jewish supremacist conspiracies</a> &nbsp;

Robert Maxwell was once the owner of 400 companies and an MP in the British parliament. He was allegedly involved in the Iran-Contra money affair, using his empire for money laundering. Iran-Contra was one of the darkest scams of the CIA-Mossad, where they sold weapons to Iran to fund the Nicaraguan rebels, who were fighting the communist government. It was later discovered in 1986 when a supply plane was shot down over Nicaragua, and arms were found in the plane. Robert was also the backbone of the PROMIS Software Scandal; he globally distributed the bugged PROMIS software used by Mossad to spy on other governments.&nbsp;Whistleblower Ari Ben-Menashe alleged that he diverted the funds from his companies to further his espionage goals. “Maxwell passed on all the secrets he learned to Mossad in Tel Aviv. In turn, they tolerated his excesses, vanities and insatiable appetite for a luxurious lifestyle and women,” wrote Epstein. "He told his controllers who they should target and how they should do it. He appointed himself as Israel's unofficial ambassador to the Soviet Bloc." &nbsp;His life mirrors the life of Jeffrey Epstein, both had the story of rags to riches, both were connected to Mossad, KGB and MI6; and both had Ghislaine Maxwell along with them.&nbsp;Maxwell died falling from his yacht, “the Lady Ghislaine,” after a supposed heart attack. Even though the official explanation denied foul play, reports suggest that there were discrepancies in his pathology test, there were bruises on his body, it was found almost 100 miles away from the yacht, and not a single crew hear any splash of him falling in water. Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh and others suggested that when Maxwell's debt became unassailable, he tried to blackmail Mossad to bail him out, which led to his death. These speculations were further fueled when he received a state funeral in Israel, where six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence, and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir were present. Shamir stated that Maxwell “has done more for Israel than can today be said.”&nbsp;

Epstein Files cite claims that British media tycoon Robert Maxwell threatened Mossad over a £400 million bailout, alleging deep intelligence links and blackmail.

Epstein Files: Bill, Hilary Clinton to Appear Before US House Investigation

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday (February 3) launched an attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that the Prime Minister was acting under external pressure and had been ‘compromised'. Rahul made the remarks outside Parliament amid continued disruptions over references to China and former Army Chief General MM Naravane’s memoir. Rahul claimed that the Prime Minister appeared unsettled after the recently concluded India–US trade deal, which had remained pending for months. According to him, the deal was hurriedly finalised due to mounting pressure, raising concerns about potential damage to the Prime Minister’s public image.&nbsp;The Congress leader expressed anger over not being permitted to speak during the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address for the second consecutive day. He said the Chair stopped him for repeatedly referring to the China issue, citing procedural violations and an earlier ruling related to his mention of a published article on India–China ties.

Another such email between Jeffrey Epstein and Peggy Siegal, a well-known celebrity publicist, from August 2010, shows a conversation about a party. Peggy was asking whether it was going to be “100% Jew night”. Epstein replied, “No, goyim in abundance- jpmorgan execs brilliant wasps.” Goyim is a modern slang used by Jews to describe non-Jews. He further says that there is an event called “Yom Kippur Redemption” that sounds like a “wrestling event”. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was communicating within networks of people in entertainment, finance, media and categorising them on religion and ethnicity, shows the disturbing mindset among the elites. One of Epstein's former victims, Maria Farmer, alleged that Epstein belonged to a network of Jewish supremacist which was dismissed by mainstream media, but recent revelations are corroborating Farmer's claims. DOJ has released 3 million+ Epstein files with heavy redaction; further 3 million more will never be released due to concerns of US national security.&nbsp;

Donald Trump's Justice Department, which on Friday (Jan 30) released a fresh cache of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, messed up big time. The Trump DoJ, as per reports, in its latest Epstein Files release of over three million pages, including photos and videos, published dozens of unredacted images of victims, including minors.<h2>DoJ debacle revealed: Victims unmasked, paedophiles protected</h2>The US Justice Department, in its latest Epstein files dump, accidentally published dozens of unredacted nude images. The images, which appeared on the department’s public website, showed young women, and in some cases possibly teenagers, whose photographs were stored in Epstein-related records.Under the law governing the disclosure, the government was required to redact all sexually explicit material and any information that could identify victims. That clearly did not happen. The blunder was spotted by journalists at The New York Times, who were reviewing the more than three million pages.

The images were part of a much larger digital dump that included around 2,000 videos and 180,000 photos, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The law had set a December 2025 deadline for publication, which was not honoured by the DoJ.<h2>Are the sensitive photos still up?</h2>The major blunder was flagged by the New York Times, following which the Justice Department has reportedly "largely removed" the photos which showed young women or possibly teenagers with their faces visible.A spokesperson told the publication that the department was “working around the clock” to address victim concerns and apply further redactions, particularly for sexually explicit content and personally identifiable information.For survivors of Epstein’s abuse, the episode has been deeply upsetting. Annie Farmer, who has testified in court about being groomed and abused as a teenager by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, said the release was “extremely disturbing,” and said she felt she was naive to believe that the US government would protect victims. “It’s hard to imagine a more egregious way of not protecting victims than having full nude images of them available for the world to download,” she said.Other victims and their lawyers have also expressed outrage. Brittany Henderson, who represents a woman named in the files despite never being publicly linked to Epstein before, described the redaction failures as “abhorrent” and accused the department of showing a shocking lack of care. “We are frankly shocked by the level of carelessness that the department has shown towards these women,” she said.

The US Justice Department’s Epstein files release went badly wrong after unredacted nude images of victims appeared online. While powerful people like Trump stayed masked, victims were exposed. The blunder has sparked outrage, raising serious questions about who was protected and who wasn’t.

The law had set a December 2025 deadline for publication, which was not honoured by the DoJ. Are the sensitive photos still up? The major blunder was flagged by the New York Times, following which the Justice Department has reportedly "largely removed" the photos which showed young women or possibly teenagers with their faces visible. A spokesperson told the publication that the department was “working around the clock” to address victim concerns and apply further redactions, particularly for sexually explicit content and personally identifiable information. For survivors of Epstein’s abuse, the episode has been deeply upsetting. Annie Farmer, who has testified in court about being groomed and abused as a teenager by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, said the release was “extremely disturbing,” and said she felt she was naive to believe that the US government would protect victims. “It’s hard to imagine a more egregious way of not protecting victims than having full nude images of them available for the world to download,” she said. Other victims and their lawyers have also expressed outrage. Brittany Henderson, who represents a woman named in the files despite never being publicly linked to Epstein before, described the redaction failures as “abhorrent” and accused the department of showing a shocking lack of care. “We are frankly shocked by the level of carelessness that the department has shown towards these women,” she said.

The US Justice Department’s Epstein files release went badly wrong after unredacted nude images of victims appeared online. While powerful people like Trump stayed masked, victims were exposed. The blunder has sparked outrage, raising serious questions about who was protected and who wasn’t.
