On August 3rd, 2015, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman, and Mark Zuckerberg had a secret dinner with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein—who emailed a photo to himself.
A decade later, they’re worth trillions, and effectively control the government.
This meeting and everything since must have hearings, investigations, and when the Democrats get back into power, sweeping prosecutions.
Treachery of the Elites
“This is the Epstein class”: How a single meeting compromised the American oligarchy.

Sergey Belyakov is an FSB-trained former Deputy Minister of Economic Development for the Russian Federation who worked under Kirill Dmitriev—currently Putin’s chief negotiator on Ukraine, and CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund. Belyakov was also an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, who helped Epstein navigate through the Russian bureaucracy, secure visas, and obtain introductions to senior Russian officials.
Epstein had Russian visas issued nearly every year going back to 2002, including a 2011 visa sponsored by a group associated with Vympel or “V”—a secretive, elite arm of the FSB associated with covert operations abroad, including assassinations.
Belyakov also acted as a kind of Russian fixer for Epstein—including an incident in July 2015 when Epstein asked for help with “a russian girl from moscow” who was blackmailing his rich New York friends.
Epstein’s request came two weeks after Palantir founder Peter Thiel met alone with Belyakov in New York City at Epstein’s urging. Thiel and Epstein had ongoing contact by email, phone, and in person meetings from 2012 until Epstein’s arrest seven years later.
The Honeytrap
Three weeks later, on 8/3/15, there was an extraordinary, secret meeting between several oligarchs currently on track to be worth trillions of dollars and effectively control the federal government, including: Thiel, Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman (PayPal, LinkedIn), Mark Zuckerberg—and Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein took this photo and emailed it to himself, apparently covertly, while he was seated next to Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, whose company had just gone public a few years earlier. Thiel, the first investor in Facebook, was still on the Board of Directors.
Regardless of what they actually talked about, this photo by itself objectively compromises everyone in the room.
Think about it. Why would Epstein send the photo to himself during the meeting since it was already on his phone? Because he wanted contemporaneous proof that he was there in the room—a convicted pedophile, with American billionaires.
Imagine the leverage this meeting gave Epstein and the Russians over Thiel, Zuckerberg, Musk, and Hoffman. It would have been immense.
While Epstein and the oligarchs may not have gone to the meeting to discuss the best way to dismantle the post-WWII world order, topple American democracy, and enslave us all through a techno-fascist surveillance state, that is nevertheless their current trajectory.
Therefore, knowing how this meeting metastasized into the current national and global crisis is crucial to setting the world back on its axis, if we ever can.
$12 Trillion for Ukraine
As an example of why we must not ignore this history anymore, it is currently being reported by Zelenskyy himself that Donald Trump is being sold a “package” of 12 trillion dollars worth of “economic cooperation” by Kirill Dmitriev, Sergey Belyakov’s old boss.
“[Ukrainian] Intelligence showed me the so-called 'Dmitriev package' that he presented in the US – the volume there is about 12 trillion dollars. This is supposedly a package of economic cooperation between America and Russia. That is, we hear about the probability of such or similar bilateral documents between America and Russia."
Note that $12 trillion is almost six times the gross domestic product of Russia. It’s absurd to think Putin could offer Trump anything like that, and—besides being an instantly impeachable offense—entertaining a deal like this smacks of an old man being conned by a timeshare salesman.
