[ Esptein ] Paris is grandstanding for the cheap seats (part two)

How did career diplomat Fabrice Aidan slip through the most basic security checks for years? He was the subject of a formal French domestic intelligence criminal referal in 2020.

In the opening salvo of our investigation, we began proving a blunt truth: the prosecutions launched by France’s National Financial Prosecutor’s Office are little more than theatre — a smokescreen to obscure the true magnitude of the Epstein-Aidan scandal. Corruption is the instrument, never the payload.

You’re aware of the MICE acronym — the four classic levers for turning an asset: Money, Ideology, Coercion (blackmail), and Ego.

We laid out the standout chapters in Fabrice Aidan’s résumé: a French diplomat who also carries Israeli citizenship, who served in the Israeli Defense Force before sliding into the Quai d’Orsay, then being conveniently seconded to the UN. There he served as special assistant and later senior political adviser to Terje Rød-Larsen, the Secretary-General’s special envoy for the Middle East. Hardly the “mid-level diplomat” the official line keeps peddling.

Terje Rød-Larsen and his wife Mona Juul — two of the chief architects of the Oslo Accords — are now under corruption investigation in Norway for the generous gifts an loans Jeffrey Epstein showered upon them. Was the worm already in the apple from day one?

Everyone involved, of course, is innocent until proven guilty.

Mona Juul, a senior Norwegian foreign-ministry official, and Terje Rød-Larsen, a top UN civil servant — both former Labour ministers — quietly assembled private archives during the Oslo Accords talks that no one else could touch. Problem: Norwegian foreign-ministry records now show a glaring black hole covering January to September 1993, the most sensitive phase of the negotiations, as uncovered by Oslo University historian Hilde Henriksen Waage.

We won’t linger on the $5 million Jeffrey Epstein left in his will to each of the Rød-Larsen-Juul twins. Same playbook as with Jack Lang’s daughter: deferred corruption, a slow-release toxin virtually undetectable because a will stay sealed until the testator, who can modify this will at will, is dead.
