— 23rd January, 2026 —
Jeffrey Epstein was running his New York mansion as a Freemason temple. This is conclusively evidenced in thousands of previously-unseen photographs1 recently-released by the Department of Justice.
In this New York temple, Epstein gathered child-abuse kompromat (blackmail material) which was used to puppeteer numerous celebrities, politicians, and other public figures.
One of the most psychologically interesting photographs, in the newly released files, shows Epstein on the floor of the vast checkerboard-basement area in his New York 'mansion'. Epstein victim, Virginia Guiffre described areas of this mansion as a "dungeon" where she was subjected to torture that "caused so much pain that I prayed I would black out. When I did, I’d awaken to more abuse."2
Remember that 'Prince' Andrew ultimately paid 16 million dollars3 to rape Guiffre. Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficked Guiffre to 'Prince' Andrew, and other public-figures, when Guiffre was a child.
Notice that Epstein is photographed (below, on the left) with a pet. But whose 'pet' was Epstein? Who owned the man who famously said "I collect people, I own people, I can damage people”.4
The same checkerboard-motif seen beneath Epstein, in the photograph below, is used ritualistically on the floor of Freemason temples across the world. It is also used by those who sit at the top of the Freemasonic-pedophile order; those who are members of the European Monarchies. Consider the rituals of abusers like Charles Mountbatten-Windsor (a British dynastic-pedophile who calls himself 'king'), pictured on the right:
The Freemasons are the world's largest-known pedophile ring.5 To give an extremely brief overview of this gang's structure: An outer-layer of naive-initiates provide unknowing-cover for the inner circles of Freemasons who know the true purpose of the cult: To rape and abuse children. A basic diagram of the Freemasonic system is provided below:
The Freemasons create traumatized, subservient children who grow up into adults who are 'reigned' over by the European monarchies. Freemasonic child-rape rituals are so severe that they cause a split in the psyche of the child, meaning that few survivors, as adults, are able to recall or process their experiences.
Notice that the naive, outer-layer of the gang forms a protective insulation for the inner ’degrees’ of the Freemasons. Those gang-members in this outer-layer are most able to convincingly-defend the Freemasons, insisting, under questioning, that this pedophile-ring is merely a social club.
The Freemasons recruit new members using ‘scouts’ who invite initiates into the lodge. Blackmail is the currency of promotion, and the rape of children represents the highest-value blackmail material to the gang.
Epstein's New York mansion is of a typical Freemasonic temple design. It includes an elaborate CCTV camera network (for 'kompromat' recording) and a central control-room. The design of this temple will be familiar to anyone who has already studied the modus-operandi of this cult.
Iconography marking the cult's territory begins at the front door to the Epstein Freemason-temple building. Here, we see the typical obfuscation of known Freemasonic-iconography. Note, for starters, the Freemasonic archway with keystone; two pillars either side (not in typical style); the circular window standing in for the 'eye' motif in this trope; and the two diamond shapes set into the lower-door panels.
The ground floor of Epstein's mansion in New York City (pictured below) contained surveillance-equipment that recorded video-feeds from throughout this Freemason temple, allowing Epstein to pass child-rape video-kompromat onto the so-called 'intelligence agencies' and their controllers: the European Monarchies. This footage allowed Epstein's handlers to puppeteer numerous public-figures, under threat of exposure. Here is a photograph of the main control room in the Epstein NY mansion:
On the basement level of Epstein's so called 'mansion', we find multiple layers of heavy lockable doors. Also, across the entire basement level, we find the checkerboard floor that Freemasons typically rape and torture children on; associatively-conditioning this symbol with unbearable pain.
Later the survivor of Freemasonic ritual-abuse will feel fear when encountering this checkerboard motif on 'police' uniforms, patrol-cars, and elsewhere. Here are just a few photographs of the vast basement at Epstein's pedophile-lodge in New York City:
Other survivors have reported on how interlocking 'intelligence' agencies and the European Monarchies instructed Epstein, and the Freemason gangs he was a member of, to rape children in conjunction with a variety of costumes. This type of abuse is designed to associatively-condition a deep subconscious fear of 'authority figures' in uniform.
Most survivors of the Freemasons, as adults, are meek, fearful and subservient in the face of 'government' intervention. This is one purpose of the Freemasonic abuse: To cause, in the child, a lifelong subconscious-fear of the ruling-pedophile-classes and the costumes of their foot-soldiers.6
Ritual abuse of children is the basis on which most government functions. If human children were not traumatized en-masse by the Freemason gangs, and other cults, society would no longer tolerate being ruled by swarms of pretentious-pedophiles (who we are told to call 'politicians' and 'royalty'). Consider these costume items, found in a closet on Epstein's Island during a raid:
Also notice the prevalence of 'police' uniforms available for the child-rapists to wear. The reader can easily speculate on why the Monarchies and 'intelligence' agencies sought to condition human children with a profound aversion to these particular costumes.
Epstein's Freemason-Temple-Home was previously under the management of billionaire Les Wexner. So far, we have looked at evidence showing how Epstein ran a seven-floor, 40-room Freemason-Temple in New York City. This Manhattan temple has been referred to, in the media, as Epstein's "Mansion". However, this is a vast misdirection.
When Epstein first occupied this Freemason Temple, it was still owned by billionaire Les Wexner. Epstein took over management of the Freemasonic-temple in 1995; claiming to own it. Epstein's ownership did not, however, officially occur until 2011; sixteen years later. The mansion was originally built by a Freemason, Herbert Straus, in 1932, and photographs from that time show some of the current iconography intact.
Why was Epstein occupying Wexner's 'mansion'-lodge for 16 years? The answer has become clear: Epstein was nominated by the Freemason-pedophile-cult to run this Manhattan temple. It was an assignment. As Freemasons advance through the inner 'degrees' of Freemasonry, they are progressively drenched in more and more kompromat. The more a Freemason-pedophile turns themselves into a blackmailed-puppet, the more 'power' they are given by the Freemasons.
Epstein's reward for abusing children in this New York temple, with other Freemasons, was, ultimately, to be permitted official ownership of the building after 16-years of service. Here is the property deed showing the ultimate transfer of the building's ownership from a Les Wexner company, to an Epstein company.7
Epstein was awarded this Freemason-pedophile Lodge after running it for 16 years. In 2011, this Freemason Temple at 9 East 71st Street, Manhattan, New York City, was 'sold' to Epstein in an exchange that was, essentially, a gift. The property exchanged hands at a price far below market-value, and the source of Epstein's wealth was entirely derived from the pain and suffering of children. Billionaire, Les Wexner, previous manager of the lodge in New York is photographed below, with Jeffrey Epstein:
The Freemasonic gang is an esoteric-nonsense-cult. In other words, the Freemasons seek to keep initiates intrigued and bewildered in a lodge for long enough that the initiate can be compromised. Volumes of books have been written on Freemasonic esoteric 'magic', but it is all a misdirection from the dismal truth of this cult; a dark-wizard scam.
The Freemasons are a trick: They trick society and they trick new initiates. The mumbo-jumbo that orbits this cult is designed to self-select the lowest-intelligence members of society as initiates. The cult then deludes them into thinking they have joined some kind of magic-school.8
By the time the Freemasonic initiate learns the true purpose of the Freemasons, it is already too late: The initiate will, on being permitted to learn the inner-most secrets of the cult, have been compromised to the extent that they were coerced into raping or abusing a child; and the Freemasons now own another puppet.
Epstein is merely one dull-examples of the kind of person who occupies an entire strata of society; those who think themselves 'elite'.
Readers of this article are advised to take a long look at the photograph above, it shows Les Wezner with Jeffrey Epstein; a 'billionaire' who thought he was a Master of the Universe. But, in fact, was a puppet of entrenched Monarchical power-systems, and funded by the blood money of innumerable genocides and thefts perpetrated by the European Crown.
This blood-money is shuffled between billionaires, politicians, and celebrities; most of them puppets. It is the currency of global-government.
Remember that, in her memoir, Virginia Giuffre described being tortured in a 'massage' room of the Epstein mansion. she called this area "The Dungeon"9. Here are some more photographs of the basement area of Epstein's lodge where, over decades, multiple children were ritually abused in traumatic-association with the Freemasons' most widely-known motif:
The reader is invited to decipher the obfuscated Freemasonic iconography in this room (photographed below) of the Epstein lodge. There are at least two major-motifs to decode. If you need help, there is a guide to Freemason-pedophile architecture, available here:
Photographed (below) is an architectural-plan of the third-floor of the Freemason-lodge Epstein lived in at 9 East 71st Street, Manhattan. Immediately obvious is the octagonal motif of the winding staircase, highlighted in blue at the top of the plan-drawing. You may remember the high-frequency of octagonal symbolism connected with other Royal-rape facilities:
Epstein's gang spun children in an octagonal staircase-tower. Below is a photograph of the octagonal staircase-tower in Epstein's NYC Freemasonic-pedophile lodge. Note the typical blue and red theme of Freemasonic esoteric-nonsense, and the presence of a rope running down the center of the octagonal stairwell; ostensibly to support a central lamp, but also a spin-point for programming children post-torture.
Spin-programming is known to split the psyche and induce deep confusion regarding prior abuse.10
Such dual-use ceiling-rope arrangements are typical in Freemason temples, the rope's dual-function as a lighting pendant providing plausible-deniability in the event that a non-Freemason gains access to the building when a child-abuse-ritual is not taking place.
A very similar arrangement exists in the Aldenham Royal Rape Library, where children were spun from ceiling-ropes after abuse by the British Monarchy. During daylight hours, the Aldenham temple was disguised as a library.
Ceiling ropes throughout Epstein's Freemason-temple provided multiple spin-points
Just as we saw in the Aldenham School Royal Rape Library, Epstein's Manhattan 'mansion' includes multiple areas where children were spun after rape and torture.
Here (photographed below), next to the main staircase in Epstein's lodge, Freemasons tied children to ropes strung from the ceiling and balcony railings; for spinning-torture. So brazen were these Monarchy-funded, Freemason-pedophiles in their abuse of human children, that they had the audacity to leave a doll tied to one of the ropes during the daytime, where it was ultimately discovered in a raid on the building.
Note also, the octagonal chessboard beneath the spin-rope; another sick inside-joke for the Freemason-pedophiles who abused children in Epstein's lodge. The basic premise of the Freemasons is that humanity is too stupid to see their symbols, and, therefore, we deserve to be abused by them:
After Freemasonic-rape rituals, children are spun as a means of partially-fracturing their recollection of abuse; thereby safeguarding the Freemason-pedophiles from discovery. As VOLC has previously reported:
At the end of rituals... children were subjected to torture including 'spinning'. This 'spinning' involved tying a child's leg to a rope which was threaded over the cross-members in the 'library'. The child is then spun around extremely fast, in the air. This was done to me many times, over many years, during ritual abuse in this building.
Spinning is a known method of causing a fracture in the human psyche. Experience and memory can be 'split'. Spinning induces a pain and confusion that is like a super-intense form of vertigo.
The pain of being spun confuses the mind to the point where it shuts down to black-out the pain. This was the process by which the visiting-pedophiles and Aldenham 'teachers' tried to confuse our memory of this abuse at the end of a ritual.
Two of the most well-known, hidden-in-plain-sight, child-rape facilities in the world share the same Freemason symbolism. Compare the distinctive pattern on the railings of Epstein's New York 'mansion' (pictured on the right) with the balcony railings in the notorious Aldenham School Royal-Rape library, in the UK (pictured on the left). There is an exact match for the central Freemasonic-pedophile symbol.
In the diagram below, I have traced the major symbols obfuscated in the metalwork at both these child-rape temples, so that the reader can see how closely the territorial-markings match.
As you can see, we have a match for the same symbol obfuscated in the railings of both buildings. Remember that I am the Guardian-award-winning former Times and Telegraph newspaper journalist who famously evidenced that Freemasons and Royalty, raped and tortured children in late-night rituals at the Aldenham School library building.
Remember, also, that an Aldenham Rape-School graduate, created an HSBC advertising campaign (pictured below) during the so-called 'pandemic', which included these same symbols behind the actor Richard Ayoade. This actor was wearing precisely the same kind of mask that many Freemason's wear when they rape children in these rituals.11
Compare, also, the staircase area of Epstein's New York Freemason-pedophile temple, where children were spun after ritual abuse, with the area in the Aldenham School Royal-Rape library where children were also spun, by the Freemasons, after rape and torture:
Freemason-Pedophiles enjoy looking-down on their victims: Both the children they rape, and you, the public, who they 'reign' over. The reader will have begun to notice a pattern in these child-rape temple buildings. Specifically balcony or 'mezzanine' areas where, at the end of rituals, the Freemasons reassure themselves of superiority over our civilization by watching the next generation (children) raped, tortured, and spun, while the Freemasons peer over the balconies above.
As I've mentioned previously: The Freemasons believe that because you are too 'stupid' to see their symbols and understand their 'magic club', you therefore deserve to have your children raped by them. This is the means by which they are taught to rationalize their behavior: Freemasons are told they are Masters of the Universe, and you are their subjects.
The Freemason-gangs self-select for the lowest-intelligence members of society; those who do not stop to question the bullshit they are fed in Lodge meetings.
Let's take a closer look at the front-doors to Epstein's Freemason-Pedophile Lodge in New York City. Here, inset into the wood paneling, we find another subtle-obfuscation of one of this pedophile-rings' most popular-symbols. I have highlighted the symbol in green on the left panel. It is also visible, obfuscated, on the right-side panel.
These kind of territorial-markings, used in combination, are only supposed to be visible to an initiated Freemason. The casual bystander is expected to dismiss such motifs as meaningless, or simply not notice them at all.
In private, the Freemason-pedophiles laughed at our naivety. Ask yourself: Why has no media-outlet, or government, mentioned to you that Jeffrey Epstein was running Freemason-Pedophile Lodges?
The shortest answer is that, although you have been led to believe that Jeffrey Epstein was a monstrous-anomaly operating outside the bounds of governments, the truth is that Jeffrey Epstein was provably, directly-funded by multiple governments; he was part of the mechanism by which government exists.
If humans were not abused en-masse, by governments as children, then government everywhere would cease to exist. Jeffrey Epstein was endorsed, funded, trained, protected, and housed by the United States Department of State (DOS); multiple 'intelligence' agencies and the European Monarchies.
Official-Paperwork proves that the United States Government directly funded Epstein, paying for him to live in a giant New York Mansion, formerly an Iranian Consulate:
The US State Department is definitively-evidenced (in court documents) providing billionaire-class housing for elite-pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The former-residence-of-the-Iranian-consul-general, in Manhattan, was seized by the US Government and then 'gifted' to Epstein from 1992 to 1997.
This second-mansion was rented to Epstein for the extraordinary discounted-rate of $15,000; massively-below market-value for one of New York's most prestigious properties (photographed below).12
In other words: via subsidized rent, Epstein was de-facto-paid thousands of dollars every month by the U.S. Government, for years. Although Epstein can also be evidenced receiving obfuscated-payments from other government entities, including the CIA, his subsidization by the U.S. State Department provides the most indisputable proof that Epstein was a United States Government asset. Of course, they were not his only sponsor.
Media reports regarding U.S.-State-Department-funding of Epstein have been subject to enormous mis-direction: Elite-groups hoped that the public would ignore the clear-evidence proving the US Government's de-facto employment of Epstein, and instead focus on the promise of future file-releases. The truth is: The US Government and Jeffrey Epstein were, effectively, the same entity; hence the reason why releases are so heavily redacted.
Unredacted releases are impossible, because the US Government, multiple 'intelligence' agencies, and the British Monarchy, trained, funded and enabled Epstein to rape children. Child-abuse is the means by which centralized government-power is sustained, and these institutions could not exist without it.13
The United States Government housed Epstein in a $30 million+ dollar mansion at 34 East 69th St, New York; demanding less than 50% of the market rent. After six years, this 'rental' deal was eventually ended. Not because Epstein was a pedophile-gang member (that was, after all, the reason he was housed there) but, instead, because Epstein subsequently-attempted to sub-lease his Government-gifted mansion to multiple other Freemasons.
In other words: The U.S. Government had no problem with defrauding the American citizenry out of millions-of-dollars-of-funds by renting property to Epstein at a fraction of market-value. They just didn't like Epstein pulling the same trick.
The U.S. Government only had a problem when Epstein tried to pull the same rental trick himself; this time exploiting his Freemason 'brothers'.
On moving into an even bigger mansion, Epstein began subletting his prior 'consulate' mansion to a lawyer, and others. The US Department of State, on learning that Epstein was using the same trick as them to profit from the mansion, decided to mildly shake its fist at the deal.
Members of the U.S. Government saw Epstein merely as a fellow-Freemason-pedophile who was swerving 'out-of-the-lane' of his Freemasonic 'degree'. The U.S. Department of State, then made a law-court force Epstein to stop sub-letting this giant-mansion.14
What, then, was Epstein's penalty for defrauding the U.S. State Department? (If a department-of-fraud can be logically-said to be defrauded) The answer is: Epstein's penalty was ultimately nothing. He was asked to pay only the rent already due (using his funds acquired by the rape of children), and allowed to continue.
Epstein managed at least two Freemason-pedophile temples in NYC; both were fitted with CCTV for kompromat gathering: The first mansion was, 'gifted' directly by the US Government; the second 'sold' (for nothing) to him by Les Wexner
The difficult truth of the Epstein scandal is that it is not really his scandal at all. It is a scandal that involves him, but a scandal that was formulated and perpetrated by those who call themselves 'governments'; 'intelligence' agencies; and 'monarchy'. To describe Epstein as a pedophile and child-trafficker is to ignore his more terrifying title: "the government".
Both of the Epstein mansions explored in this article were fitted with extensive camera systems, collecting kompromat (blackmail material) on celebrities and politicians who the Freemason-pedophiles could then puppeteer.
Even the Wexner mansion (deconstructed as a Freemason-pedophile temple, earlier in this article) appears to have been gifted to Epstein, as the purchasing-company and selling-company were both affiliated with him; as reported by Whitney Webb in her book, One Nation Under Blackmail.
Epstein (and other elite child-rapists) are the means by which government maintains its power. They were granted the spoils of colonialist-genocide, and set loose on Earth's children by the Monarchy and other legacy power-contraptions. We are, therefore, not merely looking at the collapse of a depraved man, but the collapse of the edifice of power itself.
Epstein owned Little St James Island and Great St James Island, but, until now, it has gone unreported that Epstein's New York mansion was almost right-next to a building called St James Church. On closer-inspection, this building is also an obfuscated Freemasonic Lodge. Let's take a look at the interior of this so-called 'church'. Can you guess what we'll find?
Additionally, a quick survey of the exterior of the 'church', using this guide to Freemasonic-pedophile architecture, reveals numerous other 'chords' of known Freemasonic-motifs; revealing another dual-use building of the type that the Freemasons prefer.
Note the absence of floor-level windows; the thick doors; and detached structure; all considered ideal by Freemasons who do not want to be disturbed during their 'work' on children. I've marked two of the main Freemasonic motifs on the exterior, but there are more for the reader to spot independently:
Recently-released photographs showing the interior of the 'temple' building on Epstein's Island reveal the binding-points where victim's hands were tied to a bookshelf, before they were raped during rituals by Freemasons and new-initiates.
The bookshelf in the Epstein Island temple (photographed below) uses the same design of columns that are found in both the Aldenham Royal Rape Library, and other known Freemason-pedophile lodges:
Compare the column design on the 'bookshelves' in the Epstein Island temple building to that of the columns supporting the upper floor of the Aldenham School Royal Rape Libary, photographed below:
Now compare all of these column designs to those of a known Freemason temple in New York City, very close to where Epstein lived:
Obviously, column-designs alone are not sufficient territorial-markings for the Freemason gangs. For a structure to be considered a location of suspected ritual-abuse, multiple Fremasonic motifs must occur across the architecture in 'chords'. In this case, by examining the exterior patterning of both buildings, we find a precise match for many more incidences of Freemason-pedophile iconography. The Epstein Island temple building and the Aldenham School Royal-Rape temple are, definitively, Freemasonic child-abuse sites.
Readers may ask, why were children in Aldenham School, and on Epstein's Island, raped in close proximity to books and bookshelves?
The answer is that, in addition to the other purposes of this torture, this pairing of pain with the iconography of books is designed to induce in the child a lifelong-fear of both libraries and books; thereby reducing the likelihood that the child, as an adult, might discover some literature that provides clues to the source of their pain when they are dealing with the adult-symptoms of childhood sexual abuse.
This type of ritualized associative-conditioning, by the Freemason-pedophiles, has been widely described in medical literature on the topic of Freemasonic ritual abuse.
Note, also, that the paired-column arrangement in the Epstein Island Freemason-temple also broadly matches the paired-column arrangement in this pedophile-ring's flagship temple, "The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York" at 71 W 23rd St, New York, NY 10010.
The myth persists that Epstein was a criminal-mastermind, but the reality is much more disgusting: Epstein was very likely, himself, programmed, as a child, in Freemasonic child-rape rituals. This abuse, similar to that perpetrated in the Aldenham Royal Rape Library, ultimately split Epstein's psyche and turned him into a monster; a tool of the British Monarchy and other elite-interests.
Epstein was 'handled'; he was a slave of sorts. Although Epstein was culpable, he was also a tool; another Jimmy Savile. As soon as one of the European Monarchy's child-rape 'assets' is exposed, the Monarchy's controlled-media go into over-drive, painting the child-rapist 'asset' as the sole criminal-mastermind behind the entire operation. This was also done with Jimmy Savile. In this way, the true perpetrators, the 'handlers' of these human-pitbulls, repeatedly escape scrutiny.
Epstein was likely broken-down, as a child, to the point where trigger-keywords and gestures could compel him to perpetrate unthinkable evil against children.
This is, after all, the objective of Freemasonic cults: to turn children into monsters; victims into perpetrators. In short, Epstein was most likely a 'soldier' of the crown; trained (alongside others) to destroy healthy human civilizations.
As the evidence mounts, and global awareness grows, the so-called 'Monarchy' is now in ruins; exposed as nothing more than an inter-generational pedophile ring. The majority of politicians are well-evidenced pedophiles; this was the qualification required for them to be installed as the monarchy's puppets. For those who have the courage and insight to acknowledge it: The Freemasons have finally collapsed.
