Whitney Webb argues that the Epstein scandal is a window into a much larger, transnational network where organized crime, intelligence agencies, and elite financiers collaborate and protect each other from accountability. She highlights how the FBI’s selective release of evidence, the suspicious deaths of key witnesses, and the bipartisan desire to keep investigations superficial all suggest a coordinated cover-up. Webb traces the origins of this system to World War II alliances between US intelligence and the mob, showing how these relationships have evolved into a “meta-cartel” that operates above the law.

She explains that the same names, institutions, and methods—such as blackmail, arms trafficking, and financial crimes—recur across decades, with power passed down through generations. Webb concludes that the only way to challenge this entrenched system is through local economic independence and community action, as both major political parties and mainstream institutions are deeply compromised.
