Epstein Arms: Not Just Girls and Kompromat but Weapons, Ghosts, and Global Grand Larceny
For years, the world has been looking at the Epstein story through the wrong end of the telescope. The dominant narrative focuses on sex trafficking, kompromat, blackmail, and compromise — and while those elements appear real and horrifying, they were not the primary reason the world’s most powerful institutions protected him. According to explosive research by investigative author and former Margaret Thatcher speechwriter Geoff Gilson, Epstein’s true value was not as a honey-trap operator but as a covert facilitator for global arms, finance, and intelligence networks headquartered not in Washington — but in London.
In many respects, Gilson’s degrees of separation from ground zero are much fewer than most. That center of gravity is London.
Gilson’s findings, based on decades of source interviews, geopolitical financial tracing, and the unexplored intersection between the City of London, Conservative Party finance, Mossad, and black-budget weapons commerce, assert that Epstein’s recruitment into clandestine work began in London in the 1980s — allegedly via Mossad-linked relationships — where he entered the same financier-arms-laundering environment mapped in Gilson’s book, Maggie’s Hammer.
While there, Epstein connected with Ghislaine Maxwell, was exposed to the shadow-elite social world of British aristocracy, and, crucially, came into proximity with Prince Andrew— not simply as a social acquaintance, Gilson contends, but as a co-equal business partner in covert finance and weapons brokering. Gilson argues that, contrary to popular belief, Epstein did not lead Prince Andrew into depravity — Andrew allegedly opened the door for Epstein, both socially and operationally, through circles already tolerating sexual exploitation and covert weapons commerce.
Gilson’s investigation into the highly suspicious death of his friend, a political up-and-comer at the time, opened doors to networks that Gilson could not imagine.
Gilson points to a wider system: arms-related money flows between 1984-88, Conservative Party–linked clandestine fundraising routes, and influential establishment protectors, including senior banking and auditing figures tied to the Conservative financial infrastructure. He asserts these networks overlapped with Maxwell operations, Russian-mafia financial corridors, and covert drug-route maritime operations — threads he says may connect to unexplained political violence and the ongoing suppression of Epstein files.
The proposition:
If Gilson is right, Epstein was not merely a blackmailer — he was a trusted node in a global, state-linked covert commerce machine, and London, not New York or Palm Beach, was the control center.

Geoff Gilson is a retired lawyer, development consultant, and political strategist and speechwriter. He began his career crafting speeches for Margaret Thatcher and leveraged his dual British-US citizenship to navigate elite political circles. With decades of front-row access to senior UK and US officials, Gilson served as a key operative for the British Conservative Party, gaining unparalleled insight into global power structures.
His book, Maggie’s Hammer, is a meticulously researched and gripping exposé that unravels a complex web of money laundering, arms deals, and political collusion, that leads all the way to connections between Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Margaret Thatcher, and Vladimir Putin.
Gilson’s 30-year investigation traces covert operations from the Iran-Iraq War to Russian financial schemes, revealing covert ties to Robert Maxwell, Israeli Intelligence, and the Russian Mob. His particular knowledge of the links between Epstein, Trump, Russian Collusion, and Tulsi Gabbard’s Report, combined with his firsthand knowledge of UK-US relations, Iran, and Israel, make him an exceptional podcast guest.
