The Epstein files are full of this word “goyim” and there is a good chance most people have no idea what this word even means. Goyim can be used simply to refer to “nations” or “peoples”, but in this context, it was a slur against non-Jews, an expression of Jewish supremacy.

In 2010, Sephardic leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef said: “Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world; only to serve the People of Israel.”

Epstein casually referred to non-Jews as “goyim” in his email exchanges and contrasted his Jewish associates with “goyim” in intellectual terms. In one conversation, he said “goyim prosecutors” wouldn’t understand his financial schemes.

In a 2010 email exchange with Peggy Siegel, Epstein discussed the guest list for a party at his New York mansion, which included Prince Andrew, Woody Allen, and Katie Couric. Siegal asked: “Is it going to be 100% JEW NIGHT?”

Epstein replied: “No, goyim in abundance – jpmorgan execs brilliant WASPs.” WASPs means White Anglo-Saxon Protestants - Epstein was essentially saying these are the acceptable non-Jews, the ones who are worthy of mingling with us.

In a 2009 email discussing finances with Roger Schanks, Epstein wrote: “This is the way the Jew make money … let the goyim deal in the real world.” He was talking of “selling short the shipping futures” (betting on future freight rates and laying off risks). The implication here is that the struggles of capitalism are for lesser humans and people like Epstein get to enjoy easy money.
