Russia Claims and Epstein Names are Two Scandals of Division by Same Masters
Geoff Gilson is not your typical political strategist. He began his career penning speeches for British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. He’s the author of Maggie’s Hammer, an investigation into covert power networks that transcend borders and party lines. And today, he can do something no one else can: reveal the connective tissue between two titanic scandals that are tearing the U.S. apart—both of which President Donald Trump has branded as “hoaxes.”
On one side, MAGA loyalists are laser-focused on the Russia “hoax,” demanding accountability from Hillary Clinton, James Comey, John Brennan, and others they believe orchestrated a coordinated effort to kneecap Trump’s presidency. On the other side, the mainstream media and Trump’s fiercest opponents are pouring energy into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, a labyrinth of abuse and influence implicating elites across finance, politics, and culture. At first glance, these two narratives look like the personification of a political cage match, each side weaponizing its own “third rail” issue for political advantage.
Scandal Nexus
But Gilson argues they’re not separate stories at all. They are two faces of the same beast. Behind the headlines, he sees overlapping power structures—shared interests among intelligence agencies, global financiers, and political dynasties—that profit from distraction, division, and the erosion of public trust. Both scandals, he says, reveal a deeper bipartisan rot that neither party wants fully exposed.
With his insider’s understanding of how narratives are constructed, his decades of research into hidden networks of influence, and his literal proximity to power, Gilson can map how these seemingly opposing scandals intersect—and why Americans are being conditioned to see them as mutually exclusive. He can explain how partisanship is not just fueling outrage but shielding the very players who benefit from keeping the truth fragmented.
Geoff Gilson isn’t here to inflame one side or the other. He’s here to challenge both. He offers a rare vantage point: what happens when you strip away the partisan theater and follow the interests that connect the dots between Russia and Epstein.
Would you like to schedule Gilson to break down how these scandals actually reinforce each other—and why understanding their connection might be the first step toward ending their grip on American politics?
