About the book
The Jewish Question has returned to the center of American political life. Claims of hidden Jewish control that once lived on the white-nationalist fringe now run through mainstream broadcasts on the Right and the Left. Their entry point was a single lie: that Jeffrey Epstein ran a sexual-blackmail operation for Israeli intelligence. It has convinced millions of Americans that their leaders are compromised and their wars are fought on Israel’s orders.
In The Epstein Conspiracy, David Reaboi, a longtime writer on political warfare and information operations, shows that Russia very likely manufactured, laundered, and activated that lie as information warfare. Its real target is America’s capacity to reason about its own national interests.
Reaboi traces the claim from a single discredited source, through progressively more credible outlets and Russian state media, to America’s largest podcasts. He then tests the case against the criteria once used to attribute Soviet disinformation: operational signature, strategic interest, and institutional architecture.
The book also contains the first English translation of excerpts from Aleksandr Dugin’s Konspirologiya, annotated by Reaboi. They reveal the doctrine behind the operation: antisemitic conspiracy theories as weapons against an open society. Reaboi argues that the United States must move beyond content moderation, treat such operations as foreign attacks, and identify and disrupt the intelligence services and operators behind them.
Praise
Nobody researches like Dave Reaboi—and his research has now uncovered a stunning chain of events that led to one of the most viral conspiracy theories of all time.
Reaboi meticulously establishes how specious claims by sketchy Americans, adopted by Putin’s state media, appealed to the many Americans contemptuous of their own country and, in the process, eroded “America’s capacity to reason about its own national interests.” Read this short book and weep.
David Reaboi goes deep into the political uses of a mystery man whose story has dominated our politics for quite a while now, in life and in death. If you’re interested in the Epstein question, and you think you know the answers, think again. This book will help.
In The Epstein Conspiracy, David Reaboi traces the international path of an explosive anti-Semitic lie at every stage from conception to mass-consumption. With his account of a foreign info-op and the damage it’s wrought, Reaboi provides us with the first usable map of the present-day propaganda wilderness. It’s as gripping as a spy thriller, but it’s also a spine-stiffening call to American action. Reaboi exposes how and why our enemies seized on the Epstein-spy lie and, more important, explains precisely what we need to do about it.
For centuries, conspiracy theories have been a cheap and easy psychological warfare method to confuse, anger, and divide target audiences. They are effective because they can never be disproven. David Reaboi shows how some of the most effective ones play on latent suspicions, open fears, and secrecy. He also provides, for the first time, an English translation of Russian theorist Alexander Dugin’s decades-old templates for conspiracy theories and how to wage them to undermine the United States.
David Reaboi does the unglamorous work that conspiracy books usually skip: he traces where a claim comes from, who repeated it, and how it traveled. His autopsy of the ‘Epstein was a Mossad asset’ story is a masterclass in source criticism, showing how one discredited source can launder itself into received wisdom. This is a valuable anatomy of how modern conspiracies are built.
Dave Reaboi is a clear thinker who actually “knows what time it is.” In an age when too many voices get pulled into conspiracies and rabbit holes, Dave has repeatedly proven himself impervious to them.

Excerpt
Information operations are, by design, opaque. As the enemy’s own classified material on such operations is rarely available, open-source reconstruction is, therefore, the standard method by which these operations have been analyzed and attributed by academic and government researchers for decades. Mapping them requires tracking claims to their first appearance, the pathways by which they propagate, and the timing of their deployment against the strategic interests of the actor suspected of running them.
Doing so reveals that Russia very likely manufactured, laundered, and activated the false claim that the late, disgraced financier worked for Israeli intelligence. That false claim was merely the hook through which Moscow’s broader anti-Israel and antisemitic content reached American audiences. Its pathway shows how the claim moved, while the information war doctrine behind it explains why this claim, among many possible Epstein theories, had unusual strategic value.
To call this a Russian information operation is not to claim that the Kremlin has controlled every step; even as they are seeded, amplified, and nudged from abroad at strategic moments, our own media ecosystem supplies their momentum. Participation in this campaign runs along a spectrum. While a small number of figures have been documented as paid by or formally connected to the Russian state, the majority are merely ideologically aligned. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, this type of alignment is the default analytical explanation for any single figure. That pattern also contributes to the attribution, as every figure at every phase of the campaign is either ideologically sympathetic to Moscow or has embraced key parts of its messaging.
Convincing millions of Americans that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad asset was a complex operation, accomplished over the course of several years. It can be seen in retrospect in four basic phases. Seeding (2019) injected a vague hint into the discourse that shifted how Americans understood the Epstein story. Supply (2019) gave the claim its originating architecture through a single source. Laundering (2020-2023) moved it through progressively higher-status channels, until that one source nearly disappeared. And, during Activation (2024–2026), the claim broke into mainstream conservative discourse and displaced nearly everything else, as the ZOG narrative became the interpretive frame for anything involving Israel and Jews. Operating in parallel across all four phases was The Russian Track (2019–2026), the campaign’s path through Russian state media outlets.
The structure is an organizing scheme devised to divide a complex, multi-year operation into manageable parts, rather than an estimation about how the operators themselves divided their work. Drawn from what those actors said in public and what they chose to amplify, the analysis offers the identification of the campaign’s significant events and milestones and the most plausible reading of the actors’ motivations at each stage. What it does not claim, however, is access to insider testimony or the full internal architecture of the campaign as the operators themselves understood it. The footprint observed at this density, across this many independent channels, is unambiguous even where individual examples might appear to be inferential.

About the cover
The cover’s force comes from its economy: a few hard-edged shapes make Epstein instantly recognizable, while the uneven division of light and shadow gives the portrait an unsettling tension. The restrained red typography punctuates the black and cream without competing with the face.
