Kinks In The Supply Chain: Why So Many Elites Know Sex Traffickers
The Alexander brothers, Harvey Weinstein and Diddy are in the same mafia family.
Last week the Alexander brothers were indicted for sex trafficking and other crimes spanning a decade. You wouldn’t know them if you’re a peasant like me, but anyone in the market for a $30 million Miami or NYC residence would know they were in high end real estate. My immediate impulse was to look up their network and alas we have a ton of billionaire associates with dubious entanglements - par for the course for billionaires.
In these scenarios my initial research questions are:
1) Who was protecting them?
2) Why did their network sacrifice them?
Is Your Intra-Net Working?
Everyone is expendable to institutional power, as institutions will always seek to preserve themselves over individual members. With organized sex crime coverups, there is a correlation between the rigidity of an institution’s hierarchy and the acceptability of preying upon its members. It seems, every major institution in recent years has systematically covered up sexual abuse, from the U.S. military to the Southern Baptist Convention.
Wealth and power form a club with many front organizations. For those outside of the jet set is much harder to ascertain the pathways of networked sex crime coverups, as elites have more complex and stronger informal networks. Thus, it isn’t merely about where you pray, work, or go to school. It is who your great aunt married, what boards you serve on, when the family was made, where you ‘winter,’ or how you trade favors across overlapping networks.
The first move in taking down the Alexander brothers was a civil lawsuit filed in March 2024, quickly followed by additional cases and dozens of victims coming forward. This was the same trigger pulled to take down Diddy, while Harvey Weinstein’s case was spurred on by a New York Times report including testimonials by celebrity victims. When powerful people go down due to sex crimes it often entails a flood of victims coming forward with a rabid public consuming salacious details of these person on person crimes.
Elite Connections: Everybody Knows
The Alexander brothers’ serial crimes mirror those of Diddy and Weinstein, as do their connections to a very Israeli transnational crime syndicate. A challenge of breaking up these networks is identifying them, but a greater challenge is addressing the wealthiest human traffickers because they have entanglements with the 1% more broadly.
“How did we get Diddy? Everybody in the music business knew about him. It will come out who enabled this,” she told The Sunday Times. “Money is God in this industry. It doesn’t matter who is sacrificed along the way.” - Dorothy Carvello, The Times
When a new high profile perpetrator goes down we always hear “everybody knew.” It is also telling that these high profile offenders are complete and utter fame whores. If I were running a trafficking ring I’d recruit someone who would loudly proclaim themselves a king of their dominion. There are rewards garnered from having the perceived king’s favor and many people willingly had sex with these dudes. So even non-victims are incentivized to protect the throne where they have bent the knee.
The Alexander brothers had powerful friends. We will never know the extent to which they received cover for their crimes due to whatever favors they did washing money through record breaking real estate deals or whatever else they were up to.
[The Alexander brothers] were friendly with members of the billionaire Falic family (owner of “duty free” chains), the billionaire Arison family (owner of Carnival cruises), the Chetrit family (real-estate magnates), and the billionaire Nakash family (founder of Jordache jeans).

All of the aforementioned billionaires are Zionist Jews tied in deeply with Netanyahu’s Likud party. Netanyahu and his wife frequently stayed at Simon Falic’s MISSILE-PROOF home following Israeli’s post-October 7 offensive. The Falics’ empire includes the Duty Free Americas shops located in airports around the world. They have donated millions to those building illegal settlements in the West Bank. I can only imagine what kind of exotic animals and other contraband slips through the chain’s distribution network.
Zealots are pathologically protective of their “in group” perpetrators.
Top of the Mourning In America
Wired as I am, I have always found groupthink incomprehensible. When I studied peace and reconciliation in Northern Island I had a revelatory discussion with a former member of the IRA in Free Derry. The loyalists and the republicans would battle in the streets, yet when the police arrived they would turn and fight the police.
When I asked our guide about how the republicans spoke of abuses committed by the Catholic Church he replied “we didn’t speak of it.” Would the IRA’s cause of unifying Northern Ireland with Ireland have been slowed by critiques of crimes committed by Catholic devotees?
When I rode the bus from Dublin to Belfast, it didn’t even stop at the border between Ireland and the UK. In contrast, when I toured the DMZ between North and South Korea. We must face the geopolitical history that has cultivated the strong, strained, and frayed nation-state relationships as they stand and divide today.
Note: The Magdalene Sisters is a Miramax film. Can we separate the art from the distributor?
Asymmetrical Networks
The Alexander brothers are tapped into the same power network as Diddy and Weinstein so one may wonder “How many more trafficking rings are run by this transnational crime syndicate?” Discussing power networks to the uninitiated is challenging because their structure is not linear. At this point, it is easy for me to map them sometimes with a paper trail and sometimes through analyzing relationships over time.
The Alexander brothers facilitated Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's 2018 purchase of a Miami condo from Alex Blavatnik, whose brother Len Blavatnik became their neighbor. Len Blavatnik is a Soviet born Jewish billionaire with dual American and British citizenship who started his road to billionaire status byway of Russia’s aluminum industry. He has been knighted by the Queen of England and has poured money into western institutions, such as Oxford University and Tate Modern.
Blavatnik has also made considerable investments in the entertainment industry, including investing an initial $25 million in the Weinstein Company in 2010 and buying Warner Music Group (WMG) for $3.3 billion in 2011.
Diddy’s relationship with WMG is less straightforward. In 2005, Diddy entered an exclusive joint venture with WMG/Atlantic Records who took a 50% stake in Bad Boy Records, by 2009 Diddy left WMG for Universal Music, but WMG retained the current roster and catalog for Bad Boy. Thus, WMG still has a present day financial interest in averting Diddy’s downfall. This is likely why it was Diddy began reassigning the publishing rights to artists and songwriters two months before the first bombshell abuse lawsuit was filed against him by Cassie Ventura.
It was a strategic move for WMG to preemptively disentangle Diddy’s name from Bad Boy’s back catalog, as they certainly knew of Diddy’s imminent downfall, and in the recent past had promoted Bad Boy’s back catalog and Diddy as a package deal.
Blavatnik’s reach is so broad that he can readily use both formal and informal networks to exert force and influence on unsuspecting Americans. He was one of many billionaires who lobbied for NYC mayor Eric Adams to use the NYPD to shutdown #FreePalestine protests this past spring.
Like the other Zionist billionaire in Alexander brothers’ network, Blavatnik is in deep with Bibi Netanyahu’s Likud party and exerts influence bycontrolling media narratives. Since October 7th Israeli’s Channel 13, majority owned by Blavatnik, has become quite comfortable censoring journalists.
Anat Saragusti, who leads the freedom of the press division at Israel’s journalists’ organisation, told the Times of Israel that “what is happening at the Channel 13 News is part of a master plan to destroy the freedom of the press”. - The Guardian, July 20, 2024
Kanye Was Right And Wrong
During Kanye’s public lynching he was spewing antisemitic tropes. Part of the reason it was shocking is because criticizing a rich and powerful network and mentioning they are Jewish is uniquely verboten. Kanye’s publicly proclaimed grievances lacked the specificity of naming names and lucidly mapping out the network of individuals. The public was preconditioned to dismiss all of Kanye’s claims because he used antisemitic tropes.
In this clip from Drink Champs, which was deleted due to public outrage, Kanye says that Diddy is a fed who takes orders to avoid getting into trouble. But is Diddy a fed? Or is there so much corruption we can’t easily distinguish between law makers, breakers, and enforcers.
The timeline of Kanye’s fallout with the elites warrants closer inspection. Perhaps it is due to ego or just impossible, but Kanye is still enmeshed with hostile actors who seem even more overtly criminal than the Kardashians.
The Russian Jewish Mafia
During the Cold War the true liminal space between East and West was Israel. Although not exclusively Russian nor Jewish, the sooner the Russian Jewish mafia is recognized as transnational crime syndicate, the safer the world will be. It is telling that the media ignores this well-documented network. Billions in dirty money stolen during the Soviet collapse were welcomed with open bank accounts in the West.
Is it any wonder that many rank-and-file Russians harbor resentment toward Americans, given decades of geopolitical manipulation? Meanwhile, Americans are simplistically taught the Soviet economic collapse was due to America’s robust defense spending, thus justifying more spending ad infinitum. In the post-WWII order the global arms and drug trafficking networks, unmoored by national borders, established their own parallel world order. This dual world was useful for the bipolar world’s covert operators, think Iran/Contra, so it was protected. We must reject a world order that justifies acts of genocide as retribution for past atrocities.
Much more can be said about Weinstein and Diddy’s ties to the Russian Jewish mafia and how the distribution networks in the entertainment industry (e.g., records, VHS, touring bands) were also pathways for moving illicit goods and services worldwide.
If you can’t beat your opponent on the field than fighting in the matrix is your best bet. Israeli spyware, such as Pegasus, is deployed around the world and poses an ongoing threat to freedom and democracy.
There exists a parallel world of elites supported by mercenary networks able to get them whatever they want and hide anything they need. Moguls like Weinstein and Diddy used private security to harass their victims, while the Alexander brothers’ father operates a sprawling Miami-based private security company. Americans, conditioned to fetishize the right to privacy and harbor mistrust of domestic government intervention, have have inadvertently enabled a culture of secrecy among ruling elites—often at the expense of public safety.
The great American drone freakout is laughable, as the true invasion—one that undermines both privacy and sovereignty—began long ago.
