Whitney Webb is an investigative journalist and author living in Chile.^[1] She is known for One Nation under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein, volumes 1 and 2. She has also been involved in the debate surrounding the 9/11 attacks, Peter Thiel and his support for Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, AI and AI warfare, the so-called Cyber Threat Intelligence League (CTIL) files and Bitcoin. Whitney Webb writes for several newspapers and websites. These include MintPress and MintPress News, Unlimited Hangout and The Last American Vagabond. She has also participated in several podcasts and other interview contexts, including on the Glenn Beck Program (2022). In 2019, she received the Shim Award for Uncompromised Integrity in Journalism, i.e. an award for her journalistic activities.

In One Nation under Blackmail, volumes 1 and 2, she describes a collaboration between American and Israeli intelligence services on the one hand and the organized crime network known as the National Crime Syndicate (NCS). She argues that the intelligence services and NCS developed a system or tactic of sexual blackmail. A system or tactic that she, in turn, believes provides a background and context to the sex scandals surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. In addition to Jeffrey Epstein, she also touches on Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Les Wexner, Robert Maxwell and Alan Dershowitz, among others. She describes how these and other people are connected to Epstein, the CIA and the Mossad.^[2]
