Beds of State: If the Foreign Honey Pots of Russia and China Endangers U.S. why Didn’t Epstein?
While American media is currently sounding the alarm about Chinese and Russian “honeypot” operations designed to seduce and compromise U.S. officials, there remains a conspicuous silence around the one recent honeypot case that operated openly among the American elite: Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking and blackmail network.

The same news outlets highlighting foreign sex-for-leverage intelligence tactics have consistently avoided addressing the domestic parallel that has already been implicated in politics, finance, academia, and even the intelligence community itself. The question hanging in the background is the one former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta alluded to when he said he was told to “leave Epstein alone because he was intelligence.” If China and Russia use sexual compromise to secure influence, then on whose behalf was Epstein operating?
Investigative author and journalist Nick Bryant has spent years documenting suppressed evidence, victim testimony, and systemic cover-ups tied to elite sexual exploitation networks. His reporting has focused on how trafficking and blackmail function not merely as criminal enterprises, but as political leverage systems protected by powerful institutions. Bryant brings a level of meticulous sourcing and survivor-centered reporting that has made him one of the few journalists trusted both by victims and by legal experts familiar with the Epstein case. At a time when the press is framing foreign honeypot operations as existential national security threats, Bryant is prepared to show how the same tactics were used domestically, and how the lack of accountability in the Epstein case signals a vulnerability that remains unaddressed.
This is not a story about the past. It is a story about ongoing national security risk, unanswered prosecutorial decisions, and a media environment that treats foreign blackmail operations as urgent while treating domestic ones as untouchable. Bryant’s work asks the unavoidable question: why is foreign seduction-for-secrets escalation newsworthy, while the Epstein network — which followed the same operational blueprint and involved American elites — remains framed as scandal rather than intelligence compromise?
Any outlet willing to confront this discrepancy has an opportunity to break one of the most consequential and suppressed stories of the last two decades. Bryant is uniquely positioned to lead it.

ABOUT NICK BRYANT…
Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist and director of www.EpsteinJustice.com He spent seven years investigating a child sex trafficking network that was covered up by state and federal authorities, culminating in The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, and Betrayal. The trafficking network I wrote about in The Franklin Scandal has been the focal point of considerable misinformation and/or disinformation on the Internet. Individuals who, perhaps, suffer from psychiatric disorders have woven the Illuminati and shape shifting reptilian ETs into the narrative.
But the book’s foremost transgressor has been Wikipedia. The “Franklin child prostitution ring allegations” Wikipedia page has been under siege by unscrupulous Wikipedia “editors,” and they’ve intentionally made it nonsensical.
The Franklin Scandal and the Epstein scandal are quite similar in the sense that both child trafficking networks were covered up by state and federal authorities and the mainstream media has been complicit, because it never demanded justice for the children whose lives had been disfigured. I started investigating the Epstein network in 2012, when I acquired his “Little Black Book”—seven years before the case broke nationally. I pitched an article on the Little Black Book for three years to mainstream media outlets, but, like The Franklin Scandal, my pitches were met with unbridled skepticism and incredulity.
In 2015, finally, Gawker published the Little Black Book and accompanying articles. I found it ironic that Gawker, considered to be the mean kids in the media, had the fortitude to publish a story about children whose lives have been disfigured with impunity, whereas media outlets ostensibly immersed in integrity had rejected the story.
His latest book, The Truth About Watergate: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies and Liars, details the false narrative that our history books have imparted about the infamous Watergate affair.
