Marvin Gaye: Visionär des Soul | Doku HD | ARTE

Jan 30, 2026 | Marvin Gaye war mehr als ein Soul-Sänger – er war ein Visionär. Mit Songs wie “What’s Going On”, “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” und “Sexual Healing” prägte er Generationen und verlieh gesellschaftlichen Fragen eine unverwechselbare Stimme. Die Dokumentation zeichnet das bewegte Leben des „Prince of Soul“ nach.

Er war der sanfte Rebell des Soul: Marvin Gaye, einer der größten Musiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit seiner unverwechselbaren Stimme und Hits wie "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "What's Going On" und "Sexual Healing" prägte er die US-amerikanische Popkultur – bis heute. Ohne Notenkenntnisse oder klassische Ausbildung arbeitete sich der "Prince of Soul" vom Background-Sänger zu einem der wichtigsten Künstler des legendären Motown-Labels empor. Seine Songs verbanden Melancholie und Hoffnung, Sinnlichkeit und Sozialkritik – und machten ihn zu einer Stimme des Aufbruchs. Doch hinter der perfekten Fassade verbarg sich ein zutiefst verletzter Mensch. Frühkindliche Traumata, Depressionen, Auftrittsängste, Drogenmissbrauch und familiäre Konflikte überschatteten Gayes Leben. Eine Auszeit im belgischen Ostende Anfang der 1980er Jahre schien kurzzeitig Heilung zu versprechen - doch die innere Zerrissenheit blieb. Am 1. April 1984, einen Tag vor seinem 45. Geburtstag, endete sein Leben tragisch: erschossen vom eigenen Vater.

Die Filmemacher begeben sich auf Spurensuche nach dem Menschen hinter der Legende. Weggefährten wie sein Freund und Biograf David Ritz, Bandmitglied George Shaw, der britische Musiker Jamie Lidell und Journalistin Hadnet Tesfai erzählen von der Magie seiner Musik und der Sehnsucht, die in jedem Ton mitschwingt. Ein eindringliches Porträt eines "musikalischen Picasso", dessen Vermächtnis bis heute Künstlerinnen und Künstler auf der ganzen Welt inspiriert.

Rob Groves: Epstein, Brexit and the Oligarch Network

Feb 7, 2026 | Brexit was sold as a patriotic uprising against “global elites”. But ten years on, the evidence tells a very different story. New reporting from the Epstein files shows how Brexit was welcomed inside elite billionaire networks as a “return to tribalism”. And when you trace the money, the data operations, the propaganda pipelines and the political networks behind Brexit, a clear pattern emerges. Brexit strengthened oligarchs, authoritarians and data-driven political operators.

Propaganda: The Art of Selling Lies (2019) | Full Documentary

Trump Refuses to Apologize for Racist Obama Meme Claiming He Didn't See Section People 'Didn't Like'

Feb 7, 2026 | For years, each new racial controversy surrounding Donald Trump has been met with the same refrain: “This is not who we are as Americans.” But what if that reassurance is the real illusion?

This video confronts the uncomfortable truth behind Trump’s latest racist controversy—his reposting of a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes—and situates it within a lifelong pattern of racial grievance, dehumanization, and political reward.

Far from an isolated lapse, the incident exposes how racism is routinely minimized, deflected, or absorbed by American political institutions until accountability disappears.

Trump didn’t invent racism in American politics—he stripped away the euphemisms. His success raises a harder question than his intent: why has this worked, repeatedly, with so few lasting consequences?

If America wants to claim this is not who it is, the claim has to be proven—through action, not repetition.

Since re-election, Trump has been able, through corruption, to fill his bank accounts with ill-gotten gains. In fact, he has used his presidency as a cash cow and made himself very rich. But there is one thing he cannot enrich himself with, and that’s class! It matters not a jot how much money Trump will ever be able to make or accumulate, he will never have any class. To put it into the vernacular: the man is as common as muck! And this latest racist Truth Social post proves it. Furthermore, his racism should put to bed any notion that he is a Christian. And as for the absurd notion that he has been sent by God to save America is not just to believe in nonsense and poppycock, it is tantamount to insulting God Himself! It makes a mockery of faith. — © Mark Alexander

Michael Lambert: Why No Leader Can Fix Britain’s Current Course

Feb 7, 2026 | In this video I reflect on recent events in British politics from a very different perspective — speaking from Bangkok and watching the UK from afar.

I discuss the latest defections to Reform UK, why Nigel Farage still represents a political cul-de-sac rather than a governing future, and what these shifts say about the Conservative Party’s decline.

I also look at Keir Starmer’s trip to China, the reality behind the so-called “sophisticated relationship”, and the uncomfortable truth about Britain trying to negotiate alone in a world dominated by large trade blocs.

Along the way I touch on Peter Mandelson, Labour’s leadership dilemma, Andy Burnham, Davos and the wider question of whether Brexit has left Britain trying to play a role in the world that no longer exists.

Die Shoah in den Ghettos - Berichte: 1939-1944 | Doku HD Reupload | ARTE

Jan 20, 2026 | TW: Dieses Programm enthält Inhalte, die für Kinder, Jugendliche und empfindsame Zuschauer verstörend wirken können.

1938 zog Hermann Göring erstmals die Einrichtung sogenannter „jüdischer Wohnbezirke“ in Erwägung. Ein Jahr später wurden im besetzten Polen die ersten Ghettos errichtet. Der Dokumentarfilm erzählt die grausame Geschichte der Ghettos anhand der Aufzeichnungen ihrer Bewohner. Sie zeugen von einer menschlichen Tragödie, aber auch von unbezwingbarem Lebenswillen.

Zwischen 1939 und 1941 wurden in Polen mehr als 600 Ghettos errichtet, in Großstädten wie Warschau und Łódź, aber auch auf dem Land. Diese Vorzimmer des Todes wurden in den heruntergekommensten Vierteln angesiedelt, wo es weder Strom noch fließend Wasser gab. Unzählige Menschen starben an den Folgen von Hunger, Krankheit und Zwangsarbeit. Trotzdem versuchten die Ghettobewohner, ihr Überleben unter diesen extremen Bedingungen so gut wie möglich zu organisieren. Manche Ghettos hatten eine echte Verwaltungsstruktur mit Schulen, Krankenhäusern, Polizei, Feuerwehr und Kultureinrichtungen. Judenräte fungierten als Mittler zwischen Besatzern und Bevölkerung.

. Die Juden im Ghetto versuchten, ein möglichst normales Leben zu führen und weiter an eine Zukunft zu glauben. 1941 war ein Wendepunkt: Nach dem Angriff der Nazis auf die Sowjetunion entstanden in den Ostgebieten weitere 600 Zwangssiedlungen. Die Ghettos wurden zu Sammellagern, in die auch Juden aus Deutschland und Österreich verbracht wurden.

Nachdem auf der Wannseekonferenz im Januar 1942 die „Endlösung der Judenfrage“ beschlossen wurde, deportierten die Nazis die Ghettobewohner systematisch in die Vernichtungslager Chełmno, Treblinka, Sobibor und Auschwitz, wo sie vergast wurden. Die wenigen Juden, die sie am Leben ließen, mussten Zwangsarbeit leisten.

Das Leben in den Ghettos wurde von den Juden selbst dokumentiert: in Tagebüchern, Chroniken und Berichten, die teilweise gerettet werden konnten und heute übersetzt und veröffentlicht sind. Diese Aufzeichnungen waren für die Menschen ein Mittel, den schrecklichen Alltag zu ertragen und der Nachwelt ein Zeugnis zu hinterlassen – ein bewegendes Zeugnis, das der Film aufgreift, um die grausame und aufwühlende Geschichte der Ghettobewohner aus ihrem eigenen Blickwinkel zu erzählen.

America Is in Rupture under Trump | Anne Applebaum & Preet Bharara

Feb 5, 2026 | What do the ICE operations in Minneapolis reveal about a broader shift in the exercise of state power? Pulitzer Prize–winning historian, The Atlantic staff writer, and "Autocracy in America" podcast host Anne Applebaum joins Preet Bharara on Stay Tuned with Preet to discuss why Minneapolis has galvanized people in a way few events have in the Trump era, and why our closest allies now say the word for this moment is “rupture.”

The conversation begins with a discussion about the Trump administration's complete disregard for the rule of law and its implications for America. Next, they discuss the ICE crackdown in Minnesota and the administration's lies after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The conversation also turns to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent speech at Davos, where he warned that the world was witnessing not a transition but a “rupture”—and Applebaum shares why she agrees with that view and what "rupture" really means.

« Un signal clair » : l’armée israélienne nomme une femme arabe et musulmane comme porte-parole

LE FIGARO : PORTRAIT - « Captain Ella » sera désormais la voix de Tsahal dans le monde arabe. À 36 ans, la jeune femme sera l’officier musulman le plus haut-gradé de l’armée israélienne.

Israël a désigné sa nouvelle porte-parole arabophone : une femme, arabe et musulmane. Connue sur les réseaux sociaux sous le nom de «Capitaine Ella », elle n’est pourtant que major. Elle succédera « prochainement » à Avichay Adraee, dont la voix était familière du monde arabe depuis 20 ans, selon le Jerusalem Post, et sera nommée à cette occasion lieutenant-colonel. L’accent du dernier titulaire, dont les parents ont vécu en Irak, était souvent moqué. Cet officier juif usait régulièrement de l’arabe dialectal et faisait référence au Coran, ce qui avait pu être vécu comme une provocation.

À 36 ans, Ella Waouia va devoir incarner la voix de l’armée israélienne auprès des populations arabophones. Son compte X cumule déjà plus de 170.000 abonnés, et ses vidéos sont souvent vues plus de 50.000 fois. « Le terrorisme et les armes ne créent pas des hommes, mais plutôt une racaille sans honneur. Le choix vous appartient… Protégez-vous et protégez votre famille », explique-t-elle dans l’une d’elles.

Whitehouse Reveals Trump ‘Minnesota ICE Fraud’, Criminal History And ‘Biggest Fraud Ever’ In America

Feb 6, 2026 | US News: US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse has joined growing calls for answers and accountability from the federal government over controversial actions tied to Minnesota, including claims from the Trump administration about fraud and criminality and a massive deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. In congressional hearings and public statements, Whitehouse has demanded transparency and honesty from the administration regarding its use of federal power, oversight failures, and assertions about fraud linked to federal programs in Minnesota — calling for truth and clarity amid competing narratives about law enforcement and civil rights

USA geben Blockade auf: UN genehmigt neue Hilfen für Nordkorea

BERLINER ZEITUNG: Nordkorea war lange Zeit von Unterstützung der Vereinten Nationen ausgeschlossen. Nun sollen die Sanktionen gelockert werden.

Die Vereinten Nationen haben erstmals seit längerer Zeit wieder humanitäre Hilfslieferungen nach Nordkorea genehmigt. Wie die südkoreanische Tageszeitung Korea Herald unter Berufung auf einen Beamten des südkoreanischen Außenministeriums berichtet, erhielten 17 humanitäre Hilfsprojekte die notwendige Ausnahmegenehmigung des zuständigen UN-Sanktionsausschusses.

Möglich wurde dieser Schritt durch einen Kurswechsel in Washington: Die Regierung von US-Präsident Donald Trump trägt die Lockerungen nun mit. In der Vergangenheit hatten die Vereinigten Staaten entsprechende Ausnahmen verhindert. Die Befürchtung war, dass das Regime von Machthaber Kim Jong-un die Lieferungen für eigene Zwecke missbrauchen könnte. » | Lea Brüggemann | Freitag, 6. Februar 2026

«Je réalise qu’il y a un monde où je peux tout perdre» : la chute du bitcoin fait vaciller les certitudes des possesseurs de crypto

LE FIGARO : TÉMOIGNAGES - Alors que le bitcoin s’effondre après une année d’euphorie, des investisseurs, souvent jeunes, mesurent avec amertume les risques d’un pari qu’ils pensaient gagnant.

La fin du Bitcoin a-t elle déjà sonné ? C’est la question que se posent nombre d’épargnants conquis par l’engouement des cryptomonnaies qui a gagné les marchés et la toile depuis un an. « Je suis parti avec 1 000 euros en misant sur le bitcoin. Aujourd’hui, mon portefeuille vaut la moitié », confie Arthur*, 29 ans, employé du secteur de l’édition. Comme beaucoup de jeunes diplômés de sa génération – les « milléniaux » –, Arthur a été séduit par les discours des prophètes prônant la diversification par la cryptomonnaie.

Enchanté à ses débuts dans l’univers « crypto », Arthur déchante sérieusement depuis quelques semaines. Le bitcoin a chuté de presque 50 % depuis mi octobre 2025. Ces derniers jours, la baisse est encore plus brutale. Après avoir culminé à plus de 100.000 dollars, rien ni personne ne semblait douter de l’ascension de cet actif numérique qui, il est vrai, a déjà montré sa résilience face aux soubresauts du secteur.

Have You Noticed Smoking Is Making a Comeback? I Hate That. I Love That. | Opinion

USA TODAY: I know smoking is bad for my health. We all know that. So why is it making a comeback?

The sight of snuffed cigarette butts in an ashtray might feel jarringly anachronistic these days, given successful efforts to curtail the smelly act for decades.

Nonetheless, we're edging toward a resurgence, at least in popular culture, of the classic combustion of an old-school cigarette, even if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention assures us rates aren’t yet increasing. Unfortunately, I’ve fallen into the quiet resurgence.

I’m a 46-year-old diabetic who tries to be healthy, yet after quitting 20 years ago, I find myself back in the alley occasionally (always shamefully) puffing as I hold pleasure and consequence in the same breath. My friends call it nostalgia. I think it's deeper – a defiant exhale of the angst and authenticity I crave in an uncertain world. 

The historical canon of smoking is well-documented from early 20th century glamour and association with sophistication, rebellion and artistic freedom – see flappers, film noir, World War II soldiers, the Beat Generation, the Marlboro Man and Bob Dylan.

I grew up in the haze of the 1990s when smoking wasn’t just a habit, it was a personality – raw and rebellious – butts smeared with Courtney Love’s red lipstick, the thrift-store fantasy of "Reality Bites," the sultry detachment of Mia Wallace in "Pulp Fiction." 

…

Smoking offers a palpable pause, a singular moment of physical presence in an existence mediated by the ever-present pressure of political machinations. And when those threats feel ambient and involuntary, smoking is a sensory language all its own, where the health consequences almost fade to black (like my lungs) as I relish each tantalizing feature of personal agency.

Vanished by Order: Hitler’s “Night and Fog” Decree.

Jan 15, 2026 | In December 1941, Nazi Germany introduced a policy designed not just to punish resistance, but to erase it entirely. Under Adolf Hitler’s Nacht und Nebel decree — “Night and Fog” — thousands of people across occupied Europe were taken without warning, transported in secret, and removed from all official records. Their families were never told where they were taken. Many never learned whether they were alive or dead.

This documentary traces how the Night and Fog system operated in practice — from midnight arrests in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Norway, to sealed transports into Germany, to prisons and concentration camps where prisoners were deliberately isolated, denied names, and cut off from the outside world. The goal was not secrecy, but uncertainty. Silence itself became a weapon.

Using survivor testimony, wartime documents, transport records, and post-war investigations, this film reconstructs how the Night and Fog decree was built, why it continued, and what happened to those who vanished inside it. It examines the bureaucratic machinery that allowed people to disappear on paper — and the families left behind who waited for answers that never came.

This is not a story of battlefield combat. It is a story of administration, paperwork, and a system designed to function without witnesses.

Canada and France Open Greenland Consulates in Show of Denmark Support

THE GUARDIAN: Founding of diplomatic outposts in Nuuk comes after US made efforts to secure control of Arctic island

Canada and France are to open diplomatic consulates in the capital of Greenland on Friday, showing support for their Nato ally Denmark and the Arctic island after US efforts to secure control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory.

Canada’s foreign minister, Anita Anand, was travelling to Nuuk to inaugurate the consulate, which officials say also could help boost cooperation on issues such as the climate crisis and Inuit rights. She was joined by Canada’s Indigenous governor general, Mary Simon.

France’s foreign ministry said Jean-Noël Poirier would take up duties as the country’s consul general, making it the first EU country to establish a consulate general in Greenland.

Poirier would be “tasked with working to deepen existing cooperation projects with Greenland in the cultural, scientific and economic fields, while also strengthening political ties with the local authorities”, the ministry said. » | Associated Press in Nuuk | Friday, February 6, 2026

Anand Giridharadas: What the Epstein Documents Reveal about Power in America

Feb 4, 2026 | In a wide-ranging conversation, Anand Giridharadas joins Terry Moran to examine power, morality, and the elite networks that shape American life — from politics and corporate culture to inequality, immigration, and democracy itself. Prompted by the release of the Epstein documents, the discussion moves beyond scandal to ask deeper questions: how elite impunity works, why consequences so rarely attach to power, how corporate values shift with political winds, and why so many Americans have lost trust in institutions meant to serve them.

The conversation also explores the rise of Donald Trump, the collapse of elite credibility, and the enduring tension between exclusion and belonging in American history — including what still draws people from around the world to become American. This is not a story of conspiracy. It is a factual story about systems, incentives, and power — and about what, even now, continues to set America apart.

Greenland Is Queer-friendly, Not for Sale, and Not Impressed by Trump

Jan 21, 2026 | Greenland, the world’s largest island and a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, has a very small population, and that population includes LGBTQ people. Greenland has marriage equality and very open attitudes toward the Queer community. LGBTQ people feel so safe and integral that there are few designated queer spaces, though the country’s capital or even Copenhagen is available to those who want a more urban feel with more obvious queer spaces.

Speaking of Greenland, apparently, Donald Trump is serious about wanting to take it against the will of the Greenlanders and Danish people, but many of the people in the US aren't really on board with taking over Greenland. A recent poll shows that about 75% of Americans are opposed to the US trying to take control of Greenland. In fact, there's bipartisan opposition to the idea, with some lawmakers warning that using military force could damage the NATO alliance.

Denmark and Greenland's leaders have made it clear they're not interested in selling, saying "Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders" and demanding respect for their territorial integrity. Even some Greenlanders are speaking out, citing concerns about preserving their way of life, including hunting traditions.

It's worth noting that President Trump has been pushing for US control, citing national security concerns and the island's strategic location, but it seems like he's facing significant resistance both domestically and internationally.

Several NATO nations have pledged to defend Greenland, and Trump is threatening tariffs on those nations. Good God, Squad, WTF?

Nov 2, 2025 | 1929: The biggest economic crisis of the 20th century brought an abrupt end to the euphoria of the Roaring Twenties. Driven from their land, the farmers of the Great Plains were forced to abandon everything they had. They became migrants in their own country and were treated as such by the vast Californian estates. They became the symbol of an America confronted by its own reality.

Built on the work of the iconic photographers of the Great Depression - Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, and Arthur Rothstein - this full archive documentary analyzes the consequences of the economic collapse in the United States and provides a unique take on the failure of the American model.

Could International Boycotts of US Brands Indicate a Decline in US Cultural Power? | DW News

Feb 6, 2026 | US President Donald Trump's return to the White House and his tariffs have had a seismic impact on global markets. Trump's own personal brand is growing - from cryptocurrencies to merchandise and real estate - but his policies are also creating "reputational risks" for other American companies.

Long before Trump, many US brands were able to capitalize on the "cool factor" of being American. But since Trump's terms in office, international movements to boycott US products have spread around the world. Is this backlash causing an actual decline in consumption of US products?

Die SS - Die letzten Zeugen - Folge 1: Hitlers Elite | Slice Doku

Nov 15, 2025 | Die SS – der „Schwarze Orden“ des Dritten Reichs – war weit mehr als Hitlers persönliche Leibwache.

Aus einer kleinen Eliteeinheit wurde eine Organisation mit Hunderttausenden von Männern, die politische Gegner gnadenlos verfolgte und das Terrorregime in Deutschland und Europa durchsetzte.

Strenge Aufnahmeregeln, rassistische Ideologie und totale Loyalität zu Hitler bildeten das Fundament dieser Machtstruktur.

Interviews mit ehemaligen SS-Mitgliedern und KZ-Wächtern zeigen, wie stark der Mythos von Uniform, Macht und Zugehörigkeit bis heute nachwirkt – und wie wenig die Verbrechen des „Schwarzen Ordens“ wirklich aufgearbeitet wurden.

Crypto Takes a Deep Slide Despite Trump’s Support

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The price of Bitcoin is now lower than when President Trump was elected in 2024, raising concerns of a new “crypto winter” in the industry.

The price of Bitcoin is lower than it was the day before President Trump’s election. A leading cryptocurrency exchange is laying off a large chunk of its work force. And a push for industry-friendly legislation has stalled in Congress.

After months of declining prices and dispiriting setbacks, the crypto industry has found itself deep in one of its periodic slumps — a so-called crypto winter.

Bitcoin is trading at less than $64,000, a nearly 50 percent decline from its peak price, which it reached just last October. The prices of two other top coins, Ether and Solana, are both down more than 30 percent over the past week.

At the same time, the stock prices of major crypto firms have plummeted. Strategy, a company that buys enormous amounts of Bitcoin, is down 75 percent since November 2024, when Mr. Trump was newly elected and promised to make the United States “the crypto capital of the planet.” » | David Yaffe-Bellany | David Yaffe-Bellany covers the crypto industry. | Thursday, February 5, 2026

Sanchez Goes Nuclear on Cam: 'Migrant' Musk Attacked as Spanish Declares Social Media 'Failed State'

Feb 3, 2026 | Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has ignited a global debate after launching a fierce attack on social media giants at the World Governments Summit in Dubai. Calling social platforms a “failed state,” he accused them of spreading disinformation, hate speech, and harmful content targeting children. Sanchez also took direct aim at Elon Musk amid a row over migrant regularisation and online influence. Now, Spain is moving toward tough new rules, including age bans and criminal liability for executives. But how far will this digital crackdown go, and who could be affected next?

White Power: Europas Rechtsextreme | Doku HD Reupload | ARTE

Feb 5, 2026 | Hinweis: Dieses Programm enthält Inhalte, die für Kinder, Jugendliche und empfindsame Zuschauer verstörend wirken können.

Im Zuge rechtspopulistischer Wahlerfolge in Europa organisieren sich gewaltbereite Rechtsextremist*innen weltweit. Der Dokumentarfilm führt durch drei Länder – Deutschland, Frankreich und Belgien – und konzentriert sich auf den Kampfbegriff des "großen Austauschs". Für rechtsextreme Parteien und Gruppierungen gibt es nur eine Lösung: die Abschiebung von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund.

2024: Vor dem Hintergrund einer akuten Migrationskrise und niedriger Wahlbeteiligungen konnten sich rechtspopulistische Parteien in Europa nachhaltig in der politischen Landschaft verankern: als Regierungsparteien in Italien und Ungarn, in einer Regierungskoalition wie in Schweden oder mit deutlichen Wahlerfolgen in Frankreich, den Niederlanden – und nun auch in Deutschland.

Die Rechtsextremen des 21. Jahrhunderts haben ihr Image aufpoliert: In Talkshows etwa treten sie adrett und höflich auf, lächeln freundlich – eine Schafspelzstrategie, denn ihr Gedankengut ist radikal wie eh und je. Im Kielwasser der Ausländerfeindlichkeit hat sich eine „White Power“-Bewegung formiert, die den politischen Kampf mit Gewaltbereitschaft unterfüttert: vor allem verbal, aber zunehmend auch mit tätlichen Übergriffen. In den letzten zehn Jahren ist die Zahl rassistisch motivierter Gewalttaten kontinuierlich gestiegen.

Gewaltbereite Organisationen und Rechtspopulisten haben einen gemeinsamen Kampfbegriff: den „großen Austausch“. Eine Verschwörungstheorie der rechten Szene, nach der Migranten als Invasoren die „weiße Rasse“ ausrotten würden. Europaweit verfolgen die Rechten die umfassende und endgültige Abschiebung von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund.

Christophe Cotteret zeichnet mit seinem Dokumentarfilm das Porträt der rechtsradikalen Szene in Europa. Die Reise führt nach Deutschland, einem der Länder mit den meisten bekennenden Rechtsextremen, nach Belgien und schließlich nach Frankreich, wo offiziell fast die Hälfte aller rassistisch motivierten Gewalttaten in Europa registriert wurden. Die Rechtsextremen bilden inzwischen eine politische Familie, die unaufhaltsam wächst und an den Grundfesten der geschwächten europäischen Demokratie rüttelt.

«Il mentait à propos de tout» : les secrets de la richesse de Jeffrey Epstein

LE FIGARO : GRAND RÉCIT - À l’origine simple professeur de mathématiques, il a gravi les échelons de Wall Street grâce à ses multiples relations avec l’élite.

Jamais certifié pour être conseiller financier professionnel, dépourvu de diplôme bien que généreux donateur à l’université de Harvard, manipulateur hors pair, séduisant noceur, proxénète et pédophile sans tabou, Jeffrey Epstein « rendait service » discrètement à ceux qui entraient dans son réseau. Et se faisait rémunérer tout aussi discrètement.

Pour autant, il n’est jamais devenu milliardaire. Peut-être parce qu’il menait grand train et dépensait l’argent plus vite qu’il ne le gagnait ? Son style de vie de multimilliardaire était en fait indispensable à l’entretien d’un incroyable réseau composé de membres à qui il distribuait des faveurs, des conseils, des tuyaux, tout en organisant des fêtes aussi mémorables que délicates à raconter.

Au pic de sa réussite, son patrimoine était proche de 600 millions de dollars. Une misère, comparé à celui de Leslie Wexner, fondateur de L Brands, Leon Black, pilier de Wall Street, ou Elizabeth Johnson, héritière de la fortune du groupe pharmaceutique Johnson & Johnson, auprès desquels il a joué les conseillers financiers.

Propriétaire d’un des plus grands hôtels particuliers de New York, d’une île privée dans les Caraïbes, d’un domaine à Palm Beach (Floride), d’un ranch au Nouveau-Mexique, d’un appartement à Paris, de plusieurs avions dont un Boeing 727 baptisé « Lolita Express », Jeffrey Epstein était tout le temps en mouvement. » | Par Pierre-Yves Dugua | jeudi 5 février 2026
