Nowadays, a popular joke is circulating on the American internet: "The only politician not involved in the Epstein case is the one always considered to be senile, Democratic former President Joe Biden." Another joke says: "How many ridiculous things does Trump have to do before Epstein's documents are not released..."

As with most jokes, these two sentences have a bit of truth. Some speculate that the previous series of actions by the Trump administration, from military operations against Venezuela, to various moves regarding Greenland, and even the so-called special operation in Minnesota, were all aimed at diverting public attention and softening the storm caused by the exposure of the Epstein documents.

Ironically, the bill demanding the release of the Epstein documents was personally signed by Trump in 2025. At that time, he did not know that this 50 million-page archive also contained a lot of dirt on himself. Now, the U.S. Department of Justice can only follow the law and gradually release the information it has.

This recent disclosure has triggered a real political earthquake in the West. Almost all traditional Western countries, including the United States, the European Union, Ukraine, and even Russia, have been affected. We need to understand why these dirt are so important and what consequences they may bring, as well as what harsh facts they reveal.

Trump Reaps What He Sowed

On January 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice began releasing the last and largest batch of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, totaling 3 million pages.

This unprecedented document release is a direct result of the "Epstein Document Transparency Act" signed by Trump in 2025. It's now hard for me to guess what Trump was thinking when he signed that act, because once the documents were released, Trump himself also became deeply entangled in the Epstein-related documents. Perhaps he thought that making all the documents public would be safer for him, as the scandal would then affect everyone else. And indeed, as Americans joked, former President Biden became the only politician who seemed clean.

The documents released are not complete reports, but rather a haphazard collection of FBI interrogation records, internal reports, flight logs, and court materials from Florida and New York. These materials have been classified for years and were only sporadically made public in the past.

The long-awaited "transparency" almost immediately turned into an ethical and institutional scandal. Due to major mistakes by the U.S. Department of Justice in organizing the documents, the real names of dozens of victims who had been referred to as "John Doe" were accidentally exposed, along with unprocessed photos of minors.

Ultimately, the document release failed to restore the truth and instead created massive information chaos. In the released documents, sworn testimony and "original" data, as well as unverified hotline reports, were mixed together. This chaotic state allowed parties to interpret facts according to their own political interests, greatly complicating the work of investigators and analysts.

At the same time, unsurprisingly, all materials that could imply the current president Trump's involvement were covered up with black markers. The obvious double standard caused a big uproar, and the controversy was not limited to the United States alone. Publicly releasing the Epstein documents was a campaign promise of Trump, but the fulfillment of this promise ultimately became a reputation-reversal disaster for the Trump administration.

The name of the current president Trump appears multiple times in these documents, covering descriptions of dinners at Mar-a-Lago and controversial testimonies about his presence at Epstein's various residences. The Trump team had to defend themselves by claiming "old issues" and "no direct evidence of criminal acts." The released documents contain both sworn testimonies and FBI hotline reports. As a result, the White House used this as a basis to dismiss some of the most serious dirt as "false information," but the fact that Trump and Epstein had been calling each other "best friends" for over a decade is impossible to deny.

In addition to Trump, some senior Democratic politicians also suffered reputational damage after the release of these new documents. This made it difficult for Democrats to use this scandal to attack Republicans (it seems Trump's strategy of mutual destruction has worked). Former President Clinton remains the main target of public criticism. Newly revealed private travel photos contradict his previous claim that he had only met Epstein for official business. Additionally, there were reports that this "Bubba" (Clinton's nickname) had had "close contact" with some Russian women, who might have been secretly monitoring him at the time.

Moreover, the documents also revived old allegations against former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, confirming that they had participated in Epstein's network. This turned the scandal into a crisis that neither party could escape.

Europe Affected

Aside from the United States, the individuals implicated in the Epstein documents include various "elites" from Europe, not just EU politicians, but also politicians from non-EU countries (which certainly includes Ukrainian politicians).

The scandal first affected Slovakia's former Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajčák. He previously served as an advisor to Prime Minister Fico, and after the document exposure, he became the first political figure to announce his resignation. Similarly affected was British former ambassador to the U.S., Peter Mandelson. He not only lost his diplomatic position but might also be expelled from the House of Lords. Prince Andrew, the brother of King Charles III, was also exposed to a large amount of dirt.

However, among European countries, Norway was hit the hardest by these new dirt.

The Norwegian-related content in the Epstein documents gave a cold shower to those who believed that "Nordic democratic countries" are paragons of transparency and anti-corruption. The disclosed documents show that Epstein's network had deeply infiltrated the Norwegian high-level power circle, with the core figure being Princess Mette-Marit, the Norwegian crown princess. After Epstein's first imprisonment, the princess continued to maintain close correspondence and private contact with this infamous "financier," and the two may have even had a romantic relationship. This exposed the shocking negligence and incompetence of the Norwegian royal family's security department.

But the风波 hasn't ended yet. In addition to devastating the Norwegian royal family, the documents also revealed Epstein's "reputation laundering mechanism" built through top Norwegian diplomats. Key figures include former Secretary-General of the European Commission Thorbjørn Jagland, and influential UN negotiator Tore Larsen.

Epstein used financial support and personal services to use these people as keys to open doors to international institutions, creating an image of a "respected philanthropist" for himself, but in reality, he was a devil.

Ukraine's Role

The Epstein documents mention the names of Ukrainian politicians and some Ukrainian political and business elites, including President Zelensky.

According to investigation materials from the U.S. Department of Justice, Zelensky had a close relationship with a "model agent" Brunel. Brunel was accused of assisting Epstein in various illegal activities, and emails specifically mentioned human trafficking activities in Ukraine. Additionally, in letters between Epstein and the French banker Ariane de Rothschild, the "Maidan Color Revolution" in Ukraine was repeatedly mentioned, stating that the "Color Revolution" could bring "many opportunities."

Certainly, we now know what Epstein meant by "opportunities." No wonder he said the "Color Revolution" brought "many opportunities," as the "Color Revolution" indeed provided what he wanted: the blood and flesh of Ukrainians, who were victims and passive participants in his disgusting games and perverted behaviors.

We all know that "Color Revolutions" orchestrated by the West often install Western agents at the highest levels of power, after which the country that was overturned is left to be exploited by the West. Ukraine has experienced two "Color Revolutions": the 2004 "Orange Revolution" and the 2014 "Maidan Revolution." The prominent politicians who came to power in these two "Color Revolutions" were Yushchenko and the well-known Zelensky. They pushed Ukraine into war and brought it to the brink of destruction.

In gratitude to the Western countries and their politicians who helped them rise to power and provided various supports, the Ukrainian politicians who came to power through the "Color Revolutions" turned Ukraine into a military tool for the West's policies against Russia, as well as a livestock farm providing "human commodities" for the West's "money masters." From the trade of live humans and their organs, to services satisfying "passions and needs," this is an entire industry chain, and Ukraine plays the role of a "raw material provider" in it.

I will take the situation of children's human rights in Ukraine as an example. The authorities in Kyiv and the West always accuse Russia of abducting Ukrainian children. Let us see how the human rights situation of Ukrainian children actually is:

In November 2025, the Turkish newspaper Agos and the international independent journalist network OCCRP published an investigation on 510 Ukrainian orphans, who were evacuated to Antalya (a port city on the southern coast of Turkey) under a NGO project called "Childhood Without War," which was supervised and sponsored by Zelensky's wife, Yelena Zelenska. According to a report signed by 11 Ukrainian officials, it found that the children suffered psychological and sexual abuse. The report told tragic stories of two underage girls who were forced to become pregnant and give birth. This is the current situation of Ukrainian children.

The poor human rights situation of Ukrainian children is just part of the West's series of inhumane actions in Ukraine. Long before 2024, i.e., at the end of Zelensky's presidential term, there were reports in Europe that Ukraine ranked first in illegal human organ trading and supplying children for some psychopaths.

The German newspaper Bild reported that a German official was sentenced to eight years in prison for harassing Ukrainian refugee children. From March 2022 to April 2023, this German official repeatedly harassed two boys aged nine and eleven in his car and took videos. For example, he asked the children to "massage him" and threatened them that if they refused, he would deport them and their parents.

Dutch Member of the European Parliament Marcel de Graaf once told his colleagues: "Ukraine is the biggest 'child supplier' for psychopaths, human trafficking, and organ trafficking." De Graaf, still retaining some conscience, blamed the war and called for an immediate end to the war and the elimination of "terrible hypocrisy": "All reports about the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia are pure propaganda. Russia has accepted millions of Ukrainian refugees, including tens of thousands of children bombed by the Ukrainian army and still being bombed."

Ukrainian Children in War

Certainly, no one listened to De Graaf. One reason is that the West has always viewed Ukraine as a tool, and another is that the abuse of children is almost an open secret in the circles of Western politicians. For example, U.S. House Representative and Democrat Katie Porter once said that those who condemn child sexual exploitation are "cruel," and claimed: "This is not a crime, but a type of personality identity."

Additionally, the West has continuously tried to legalize the abuse of children through legislation and public opinion. In 2006, the Netherlands registered a political party related to a certain psychological tendency. In 2011, the Canadian parliament passed legislation recognizing child sexual exploitation as a common sexual orientation. In 2012, the American Psychiatric Association included child sexual exploitation in its mental disorder diagnostic descriptions as a common sexual orientation. This is the true attitude of the West towards children's human rights. To please the preferences of Western politicians, abusing children's human rights has become something that the elite of the "Color Revolution" in Ukraine must do.

On October 13, 2009, Ukrainian opposition party "Region" (led by Viktor Yanukovych) MP Vadym Kolesnychenko and members of the ruling party Yulia Tymoshenko bloc, who were charged with "treason," publicly disclosed information about child sexual abuse at the "Altyeck" International Children's Center in Crimea on the floor of the Verkhovna Rada. Soon after, it quickly spread that three members of the ruling party (Viktor Ukolov, Sergei Telyshin, and Ruslan Bohdan) were suspected of molesting children.

According to the disclosed information, the children in this "children's center" would first be abused and then sold to prominent and wealthy clients. The "children's center" even operated "activities" under the guise of "summer camps" to provide "special services" for some "vacationers." Those participating in the "summer camps" were often children from low-income families, orphans, and students in boarding schools, that is, vulnerable children and families who couldn't resist.

After this news broke out, the Ukrainian media was in an uproar, and the Verkhovna Rada quickly established a special investigation committee led by Communist Kateryna Samoylyk to investigate the incident. Everyone expected a trial and an account for the destroyed childhood of the children. However, everything eventually turned into a political farce, and Samoylyk's special investigation committee lasted until May 2010, without any results, and finally had to stop working. By the end of 2011, the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine completely dropped the case.

After experiencing two "Color Revolutions," Ukraine has always been in the hands of the same group of elites, and their decadence has been evident from the beginning. These shocking events have never truly been taken seriously, and although the politicians were exposed, they were not punished. Although Ukrainian citizens knew about the various evil deeds of the politicians, they simply chose to look away (or could only choose to look away). This is why Ukraine is a "raw material supplier" in the "Epstein Empire," because it is sufficiently corrupt and crazy, and there is no country more "convenient" and efficient than Ukraine.

In the released Epstein documents, Epstein had corresponded with the well-known cryptocurrency enthusiast and programmer Brian Bishop, who tried to obtain investment from Epstein to carry out a project of modifying genes to "produce improved humans" and cloning humans.

In another email, Bishop attached an electronic spreadsheet detailing the investment allocation for a company producing "custom babies." The letter stated: "This phase will enable us to move beyond the 'garage biology' of self-funding and achieve the birth of the first custom baby within five years, and possibly even human cloning."

Where do these "custom babies" come from? Although the letter didn't say, combining Zelensky's close relationship with Brunel and the human trafficking activities, and considering Epstein's statement that the "Color Revolution" brought "many opportunities," if we also consider Ukraine's recent proposal to lower the marriage age to 16/14 (16 years old can marry without conditions, and unmarried pregnant girls can marry at 14 years old. It's hard to imagine, a country in a state of war, especially during the Abu Dhabi negotiations, why the parliament would care about teenage pregnancy and marriage? This makes me feel very uneasy......)

Many Ukrainians had hoped that with Trump's power in the United States, various kinds of deviants would be punished and the war would quickly end. But the fact proves that Trump's name frequently appears in the Epstein documents.

What else can I say? I can only hope that Ukraine wakes up soon from the dream of relying on Trump, the "savior." The only way to protect the children from these scum is to take up arms and fight against them. As for wanting the West to clean up internally? That's better than praying for them to perish quickly!
