Epstein-Rothschild Connection: Deep State Behind the Deep State

By Virginia Christian Alliance | Based on reporting by Alex Newman, Behind the Deep State

Last week we began examining the DOJ’s massive release of Epstein files and the jaw-dropping connections they reveal. Today we go deeper—into the single relationship that may unlock the entire architecture of the deep state. We’re talking about the Rothschild banking dynasty—a family so powerful that, according to their own court historian, they decided the outcome of the Napoleonic Wars by choosing which side to bankroll. And Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just doing business with them. He was advising them, socializing with them, planning trips with them to communist Cuba—and collecting tens of millions of dollars for what the documents cryptically call “the Work.”

Alex Newman of The New American dedicates this entire episode of Behind the Deep State to unpacking the Epstein-Rothschild connection—and what it reveals about how global power actually operates. As Newman puts it: “You can’t understand the deep state without understanding the Rothschild dynasty.”

Watch the full episode below—and ask yourself why the most powerful banking family in history was this close to a convicted child sex trafficker.

After you watch this, you won’t be able to un-know it. What will you DO?

Epstein Files Part 2: Why the Rothschild Connection Matters

In Part 1 of this series, we explored how the Epstein files revealed his membership in the Trilateral Commission, his ties to Bill Gates, and a DOJ-released agreement stating the Rothschild Group was to pay $25 million to Epstein’s Southern Trust Company. Now, Newman takes viewers far deeper into the Epstein-Rothschild relationship—and what emerges is not a distant business arrangement but an intimate, ongoing partnership spanning years of personal correspondence, financial strategy, and geopolitical maneuvering.

Newman frames the Rothschilds as what he calls “the epitome of deep state moneymen”—a dynasty that for centuries has specialized in bankrolling governments, especially during wars. He argues that intelligence agencies like the CIA, MI6, and Mossad are best understood not as the deep state itself, but as “the operational arm of the deep state.” The real power, Newman contends, sits with the financial dynasties that fund and direct them.

And Jeffrey Epstein was right in the middle of it.

Epstein’s Intelligence Connections: Above the Agencies

A Web Spanning Multiple Nations

The released documents appear to confirm what many long suspected: Epstein was connected to multiple intelligence services. Newman reports that the files show connections to the CIA, Britain’s MI6, Israel’s Mossad, and reportedly Chinese intelligence as well. Newman notes that the Polish government is currently investigating possible connections to Russian intelligence. A U.S. government document reportedly confirms Epstein was working with and for the U.S. government.

Not a Minion—A Principal

Nevertheless, Newman argues that Epstein was not simply an intelligence asset taking orders. “He wasn’t like a minion for them. He was above that. He was operating on a whole level beyond these so-called intelligence agencies.” This assessment aligns with the broader thesis of Newman’s book, Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes: that there exists what Newman calls “a deep state behind the deep state”—organizations and financial networks that sit above the intelligence bureaucracies most people associate with covert power.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness (Ephesians 6:12).

The Rothschild Dynasty: A Brief History of Financial Power

Deciding the Outcome of Wars

Before diving into the Epstein emails, Newman provides essential historical context. The Rothschild banking dynasty, he explains, built its fortune by specializing in government bonds and loans to sovereigns—particularly during wartime. Niall Ferguson, described by Newman as “a court historian” and “an apologist for the Rothschilds,” nonetheless wrote in his book The World’s Banker that the Rothschilds decided the outcome of the Napoleonic Wars by putting their financial weight behind Britain.

Newman asks the obvious question: “Imagine having the power to decide an outcome between the two most powerful governments in the world. And then imagine that people don’t even talk about this family.”

Financing Both Sides

Gary Allen, author of None Dare Call It Conspiracy, documented that during the American Civil War, the Rothschilds financed the North through their American agent August Belmont, while the South was financed through the Erlanger family—Rothschild relatives. G. Edward Griffin, in The Creature from Jekyll Island, argues that the Rothschilds were critical players in the creation of the Federal Reserve, operating through Paul Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb & Company as their American representative.

Newman summarizes what Griffin calls “the Rothschild formula”: stir up wars, finance both sides, and profit from the perpetual debt that follows.

Funding the Deep State’s Key Players

The Rothschild influence extends through figures many conservatives already recognize. Newman traces the fortunes of both Cecil Rhodes and George Soros directly back to Rothschild backing.

Cecil Rhodes—whose mining ventures in southern Africa were financed by N.M. Rothschild & Sons in London and Rothschild Frères in Paris—used that wealth to establish the De Beers diamond monopoly, the British South Africa Company, and eventually the Rhodes Scholarships and the secretive “Society of the Elect.” Georgetown University historian Carroll Quigley, Bill Clinton’s mentor, documented these round table groups in his landmark book Tragedy and Hope. The American branch of this network, Newman notes, became the Council on Foreign Relations.

George Soros, meanwhile, got his start through the Banque Privée—the Swiss banking operation of Baron Edmond de Rothschild. Newman cites The Washington Times reporting that an original $100,000 investment in Soros’s Quantum Fund in 1969 was worth $150 million by 1994—a return of 3,365%. The Quantum Fund’s board included Richard Katz, head of Rothschild Italia, and Nils Taube, a partner at St. James’s Place Capital alongside Lord Rothschild.

Newman notes pointedly that Soros was convicted of insider trading in a French court, suggesting these extraordinary returns were not simply the product of financial genius.

The Epstein-Rothschild Emails: An Intimate Partnership

Tens of Millions in Payments

Returning to the Epstein files, Newman reports that beyond the previously discussed $25 million agreement, additional emails discuss what appears to be a separate $45 million payment connected to a DOJ settlement involving Edmond de Rothschild Group. According to Newman’s reading of the email chain, the Rothschild group faced a U.S. Department of Justice investigation for allegedly helping wealthy Americans evade taxes. Epstein and a lawyer he introduced—Kathryn Ruemmler, former White House counsel under President Obama—reportedly helped negotiate the resolution.

Newman describes the email exchange: Epstein references a $10 million fee for lawyers and $25 million for himself out of a $45 million total. Arianne de Rothschild responds: “Deep thanks for your amazing help.” Days later, the DOJ announced a $45 million settlement with the Rothschild entity.

The timeline and dollar amounts in the emails appear to align with the public DOJ settlement. The full nature of Epstein’s role in brokering this arrangement remains unclear.

Les Wexner Confirms the Connection

The Epstein-Rothschild relationship isn’t based solely on emails. Newman points to testimony from Les Wexner—the billionaire former owner of Victoria’s Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, and other retail empires—who the FBI has named as an Epstein co-conspirator. In testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Wexner confirmed that Epstein “done personal work for the Rothschild family in France” and that Epstein would tell associates he was providing financial advice to major figures including “the founders of Google.”

Far More Than Business

The email correspondence between Epstein and Arianne de Rothschild—CEO of the Rothschild Group, who took over from her late husband Benjamin—reveals a relationship that went far beyond consulting. Newman walks viewers through exchanges where Rothschild shares intimate details about her marriage, family disputes, and personal struggles with Epstein.

In one exchange, Arianne describes her husband Benjamin as “out of control” and in a state of “total paranoia.” Epstein offers to travel to Paris or Geneva to help. In another chain, Epstein advises Arianne on a legal dispute with a Rothschild cousin, counseling her to “go slow” because her husband “cannot handle a hostile deposition where all questions about the bank and his knowledge will be on the table.”

Newman observes: this is a convicted child sex trafficker giving strategic legal and family counsel to the CEO of the most powerful banking dynasty in European history—and being treated as a trusted confidant.

Cuba, Castro, and the Communist Connection

“We Will Be Hosted by the Castro Family”

One of the most striking email exchanges involves a planned trip to Cuba. Epstein writes to Arianne de Rothschild: “I’m organizing our Cuba trip for November, probably 17th through 19th. Lots to see.” He adds: “We will be hosted by the Castro family.” Arianne responds: “I look forward to it. Do you want me to host Woody Allen at home?”

Newman uses this exchange to highlight a pattern he has documented extensively: the deep state’s longstanding collaboration with communist regimes. He cites Baron Eric de Rothschild’s public support for Irina Bokova—a Bulgarian Communist Party operative whose father served on the Politburo—to lead the United Nations as Secretary General. He references Evelyn de Rothschild’s televised praise of China’s communist government as “an achievement beyond recognition” and Rothschild’s advocacy for an “international currency.”

Quigley’s Revelation

Newman connects these patterns to Carroll Quigley’s explosive admission in Tragedy and Hope: that the Anglo-American financial establishment sought “a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.” Quigley further wrote that this network “has no aversion to cooperating with the communists and frequently does so.”

Newman argues that the Epstein files provide contemporary evidence of exactly the pattern Quigley described decades ago: the world’s wealthiest capitalists working hand-in-glove with communist dictatorships toward shared goals of centralized global control.

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money (Matthew 6:24).

Geopolitics, Silicon Valley, and Strategic Maneuvering

Ukraine as “Opportunity”

The emails also reveal Epstein and the Rothschilds discussing geopolitical events as business opportunities. During the 2014 revolution in Ukraine, Epstein emailed Rothschild: “Ukraine upheaval should provide many opportunities.” Newman asks pointedly what kind of “opportunities” a convicted child sex trafficker and a banking dynasty see in a nation’s political upheaval.

“The Silicon Valley Boys”

In a 2016 email, Epstein writes to Arianne: “The Silicon Valley boys will be here today to discuss how to make money in the future. Any ideas that you would like to bounce off of them?” Arianne responds by suggesting they discuss “disruptive tech and trends that would reshape the world like migration flows.”

Newman also highlights Epstein giving direct business advice to Alexander de Rothschild about restructuring bank operations—recommending new advisory board members and specifying “serious people with strong finance operation reputation, not charity, preferably some Jews.”

A convicted child sex trafficker was advising the most powerful banking dynasty in the history of the world on corporate strategy. Let that sink in.

A Note on Anti-Semitism

Newman addresses an important concern directly: discussing the Rothschild dynasty is not anti-Semitic. As he puts it: “Talking about the Rothschilds as representatives of all Jews is preposterous. The Rothschilds are not representatives of all Jews anymore than the Rockefellers are representatives of all Baptists.”

Newman goes further, arguing that the Rothschilds, like other deep state financial players, have “clearly abandoned the morality that God revealed first to Moses on Mount Sinai, later expanded upon in the New Testament.” The critique, Newman emphasizes, is not ethnic but moral—rooted in the biblical standard that applies to all people regardless of heritage.

This is a distinction Christians must hold firmly. We oppose wickedness in high places, not peoples or ethnicities. Our battle is spiritual, not racial. For God shows no partiality (Romans 2:11).

What This Means—And What You Must Do

The Deep State Behind the Deep State

The Epstein-Rothschild emails paint a picture that goes far beyond what most Americans imagine when they hear the term “deep state.” This isn’t about rogue bureaucrats or partisan intelligence officials. Newman argues these files reveal “a deep state behind the deep state”—a network of financial dynasties that fund intelligence agencies, bankroll both sides of conflicts, and treat convicted child predators as trusted advisors.

Newman’s upcoming updated second edition of Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes will reportedly expand on these connections.
