0:32
hey great to be here thanks for having me back on so I'm reading the now
0:37
unfortunately I didn't get an advanced copy of the book so I'm gonna be just like anybody else in the audience
0:42
tonight like hey don't ask questions and uh but uh the description of the book is
0:48
something I want to read it for people it says one nation under blackmail is a damning indictment of the consequences
0:54
resulting from the nearly century-old relationship between both U.S and
1:00
Israeli intelligence and the organized crime Network known as the national
1:05
crime syndicate can you is that real that's there's a thing called the national crime
1:11
syndicate it's you this seems like a cartoon yeah well no it is real so it was a
1:17
decentralized network of um different organized crime groups operating in the
1:22
United States um in the early 20th century so historically organized crime in the U.S
1:28
most people are probably familiar with it because of Hollywood and whatnot uh tend to sort of be an ethnic Enclave so
1:34
you'd have Irish organized crime the Jewish mob the Italian mafia and so on
1:39
so the national crime syndicate uh sort of broke down those silos and brought
1:44
these different groups together and so that made them a lot more successful uh but that was their name the national
1:51
crime syndicate yes yes and they didn't have any qualms but so is it this is in
1:56
documents that they were referred to as this yeah yeah it's it's definitely not something I made up that's uh that's for
2:03
sure so it this was basically an outgrowth of something called Murder Inc and some other things
2:10
um that um the main people behind it were mayor Lansky I guess representing the Jewish mob there and then Lucky
2:16
Luciano of the Italian mafia and so they basically came together and in World War
2:22
II they formally teamed up with the Office of Naval intelligence and the office of strategic services or the OSS
2:29
OSS which is the precursor to the CIA and this was justified as a necessary
2:36
because it was the war right so a wartime necessity justification but then the war ends and then you know the
2:43
intelligence apparatus of the US and these mob guys realize they have a lot in common and they work really well
2:49
together and so that's why in the 60s in the 50s you see a lot of um you know a
2:55
lot of the people involved in assassination stuff for the CIA after it was made you see a lot of mob guys
3:00
around for example and there's a lot of other examples of them you know interacting on and off
3:05
um you know over the years that maybe more people are familiar with but you know a lot of this uh involved like the
3:12
realm of um Shadow banking Finance Finance it expanded into the world of corporate
3:18
power as well and just and ended up just really becoming out of control and also
3:24
um you have like you mentioned earlier Israeli intelligence sort of in this developing power Nexus
3:30
as well because the Jewish mob side of the national crime syndicate was heavily involved in the arming of the hagana
3:38
um and the precursor to the IDF and all of this so basically by the time the state of Israel is created these
3:44
alliances are you know a part of its National Security State from the off
3:50
so you you've documented literally the organized crime from World
3:58
War II era coming together with our government yeah
4:04
working working together now and and and and to to coordinate all the
4:11
them together all the different crime families there was a thing called the
4:16
national crime syndicate that yeah but they fought yeah but they fought with each other like there was factionalism
4:23
and so like some of these guys teamed up to take out their call competition consolidate power so I wouldn't say that
4:29
this group right is the same they were back in the 30s and 20s I mean a lot has happened over time but um I think I make
4:36
a really good case in the book that this is where a lot of it uh started or you could maybe argue what happened before
4:43
um specifically in New York City because you had the Democratic party um specifically in New York City become
4:49
very much entwined with organized crime this happened in the early 20th century as well with Tammany Hall which was very
4:56
much involved with the power uh apparatus of New York but they ended up taking over the organized crime ended
5:01
up taking over the leadership of a lot of unions and uh later voting precincts among other things which allowed them to
5:08
consolidate a lot of power in New York uh specifically in the Democratic party at first and of course you know later
5:15
the Republicans as well but it uh that's part of what the uh what led to
5:20
operation underworld as it's called the formal team up between the mob and the the Navy Naval intelligence and the CIA
5:27
precursor there's a name for it it's called The collaboration underworld it's a real thing you can look it up the uh
5:34
the US government waited 60 years to admit it was real but they had to eventually and what did they do so and
5:41
what was Operation underworld that's where uh the Office of Naval intelligence and the precursor to the
5:47
CIA the office of strategic Services teamed up with organized crime and what and what specifically
5:54
did what was this what was the service that organized crime could provide that the government couldn't do for
6:00
themselves yeah so what I mentioned earlier about the mob mob unions what they
6:09
Union was controlled by the mob oh so yeah so that's sort of how it started
6:17
but it so that there was like a lot so getting getting info on the unions is kind of that their way to push back
6:23
against the commies right well a lot of well this is back in World War II right so it's all about that it
6:29
was about German saboteurs it was about the Nazis but then you see over time that a lot of the same type of behavior
6:35
um is you know all sorts of things including working with organized crime or drug cartels or what have you in the
6:41
in the decades later you know like in the 80s for example it's all justified by anti-quote unquote anti-com communism
6:47
and stuff like that and so why so I really appreciate you you reporting on
6:53
this why why is no one else seem seemingly I haven't heard anything about this until uh people told me about your
7:00
book so why why is no one else seeing it or are other people re reporting this
7:06
well I think it's been written on before but I don't think it's it's been uh the
7:11
story's been told the same way I'm I guess I sort of strung it together I'm sort of giving you 100 Year history I
7:16
think there are people that have written about operation underworld specifically uh but not necessarily like recently you
7:23
know because it was something that was uh they let be known maybe like 20 years ago or something and so they're still
7:30
not letting us know about the Kennedy assassination so you can't actually you know but what
7:36
did you did you uncover anything that would lead to any knowledge about that and the cia's involvement because I had
7:42
Raymond governor and Ray McGovern on Wednesday and he said that there definitely was
7:49
so from what I understand there have been some uh successful efforts to get new information out from the documents
7:55
they've been trying not to release that more or less are being described as smoking good evidence that Lee Harvey
8:01
Oswald had a established relationship with the CIA um so I didn't really deal with the
8:08
Kennedy assassination directly in the book because then it would have been like three books because there's people
8:13
that have written entire books right about the Kennedy assassination so I um I I talked about some things I talked
8:20
about perm index for example which is a sort of a suspect company that a lot of
8:25
people that have investigated the Kennedy assassination over the years have pointed to in their uh connections
8:31
to this particular Network that I'm I'm writing about in the book and um I also write about an effort um to sexually
8:38
blackmail uh John F Kennedy after he was elected in the time he was uh
8:43
president-elect and before inauguration and that same sexual blackmail uh at
8:49
work it was British intelligence well British intelligence and British organized crime they had previously
8:56
taken down the government in the UK and what is known as the profumo affair
9:01
and one of the same women that was used in that network was taken overseas to
9:07
New York um allegedly slept with Kennedy and uh
9:12
then somehow the CIA allegedly helped her Escape back to the UK the FBI arrested her and her apparent Handler
9:19
had her Client List sound familiar but instead of releasing The Client List
9:24
they destroyed it it doesn't sound familiar I didn't know about this I've never heard about that
9:31
so the so you so the intelligence tried to set a trap so it sounds like
9:37
so we're gonna connect this together because the second part of your book is about Jeffrey Epstein and Jeffrey Epson obviously had connections to the CIA and
9:45
the intelligence community so it seems like they would set up they would try to get this blackmail stuff on powerful
9:51
people and then they could get them to do their biddings but so did it but did it work with Kennedy it seems like it
9:56
didn't work no it didn't really work there because it was exposed to an extent the operation and traced back the
10:03
British intelligence so there was a very sloppy cover-up uh where uh Mariella
10:08
Novotny who was the name of the girl was a rest you know how she was allowed to flee the country with the apparent help
10:14
of U.S intelligence because at that time there was a very uh cozy relationship I
10:20
guess you could say and there arguably still is between us and British intelligence right yeah and so she was
10:25
allowed sort of to to get out unscathed um so but yeah a sexual one of the
10:32
things that really surprised me when writing this book is uh how sexual blackmail pops up over and over again in
10:37
various uh big events and Scandals and U.S history and so part of what I'm trying to to show and a big reason why
10:44
it wrote volume one is to really uh break apart the mainstream media
10:49
narrative that Jeffrey Epstein was an anomaly that his behavior uh was
10:54
exclusive to him and now he's dead so none of this stuff ever it doesn't matter anymore this is a type of
11:01
activity that has been done over and over and over again in in our political system and it was uh
11:09
you know a political it was a move uh and it's a type of operation really that was um perfected first uh by the mob so
11:17
you know this is something that's really born out of in my opinion this organized crime intelligence uh Team op and now
11:24
um you know it's just been going on for an excessive amount of time at this point
11:29
so here well let me give this to you as a jumping off point that this is a more from the
11:35
description of the book it says this book specifically explores how the Nexus between intelligence and organized crime
11:43
directly developed the sexual blackmail tactics and networks that would later enable the sexual blackmail operation
11:50
and other crimes of deceased pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein
11:55
uh other books on Jeffrey Epstein focus on the depraved nature of his
12:01
crimes or his wealth and his most famous politically connected friends and acquaintances but this book in contrast
12:06
reveals the extent to which Epstein's activities were state sponsored through
12:13
an exploration of his intelligence connection so tell me about
12:18
so when the pizzagate thing happened right when when Pizza gate broke that story they
12:25
I I was I didn't pay much attention to it but what did catch my eye was what I
12:30
thought was an overreaction to a bunch of people saying that there was a
12:36
sexual pedophile ring in Washington DC and I'm like well first of all that sounds completely reasonable uh to
12:44
assume that there's a pet of sex pedophile ring servicing powerful people in Washington DC that's not crazy to
12:50
think that that could happen and then uh
12:55
uh no I just lost my chain of time so uh that they overreacted to that like
13:00
any just like Seth Rich if you even mentioned it you were a banished from society you couldn't ask questions about
13:07
it you couldn't cover it you couldn't do anything and I was just like what is going on why are they overreacting to
13:12
this pizzagate thing so much why why do they have to why is that and then
13:19
you find out it's because there actually is a pedophile ring happening and it's sponsored by the intelligence community
13:25
and it involves a bunch of really powerful people like part of the royal family and Bill Clinton and people and
13:31
Hollywood stars and people like that go to Jeffrey Epstein's Island and have sex with kids and this we know this for a
13:38
fact and there's a flight log and so I guess that was you know just like with
13:43
the when the Wuhan virus we people were speculating that kovid started from a virus that was engineered in a lab in
13:50
Wuhan China and they immediately have to overreact to that and say you're a racist if you think that right so that
13:57
was ooh that's again your flat my detector went off you guys are overreacting too hard to that and
14:04
um so can you so this is just so what you are saying is that Jeffrey Epstein isn't a one-off
14:11
this isn't some anomaly inside of our culture this is a regular classic CIA
14:18
psyop or it's classic CIA program to do this this is how they get powerful
14:23
people under the cia's control to do their bidding this is probably why Donald Trump didn't release those JFK
14:31
files on his way out the door because the CIA didn't want him to do it and they probably have uh blackmail material
14:38
on him and they tried to Blackmail a million different ways one way was Russia gate another way was uh the P
14:45
tape another way was with his impeachment they blackmailed him saying we're gonna we're gonna have the Senate
14:50
go along with the impeachment if you do that so anyway I'm this is a very long question so take it wherever you want
14:57
okay so there's a lot of different places to go uh so I guess first off yes this is something that's been going on a
15:02
very long time in fact the longtime director of the FBI J Edgar Hoover who
15:07
was in charge of that Agency for decades and decades and decades the top official in the U.S he was
15:13
sexually blackmailed by the mob in the 30s and he didn't even go after organized crime at all because of that
15:19
and that's a matter of reference he denied it ever happened and the sexual
15:24
blackmail operation that entrapped him also intimately involved a man named Roy Cohn who was best known as Donald
15:30
Trump's mentor and the two of them along with the mob linked businessman named Louis Rosensteel were seen engaging in
15:38
sexual blackmail operations themselves but again Hoover and Cohn only joined that after they themselves had been
15:43
entrapped yeah um and this involved miners oh so this
15:49
is something that's been going yeah this is something that's been going on a really long time in addition to that
15:55
you're saying JF J Edgar Hoover was entrapped sexually with a minor by the
16:01
mob by the mafia well so at first the he was involved in this sexual Opera uh
16:06
blackmail operation after he was blackmailed by the mob that involved children but he was initially
16:11
blackmailed because he was a photo of him was taken having giving oral sex to
16:16
his longtime Deputy Clyde Tolson uh and that was taken by Affiliates of Mayor Lansky of the Jewish mob and later those
16:24
fell into the hands of James Jesus Angleton the first counterintelligence Chief of the CIA so that's another
16:30
example of how the mob and the CIA like to share intelligence right and how the
16:36
CIA can justify almost anything right in the name of gathering intelligence I think actually in the UK they have they
16:42
passed a law recently where intelligence agents or assets can even commit murder or any sort of crime as long as they
16:48
justify it as intelligence gathering activity so um you know this is something that that
16:54
gets brushed under the rug because there's no accountability for U.S intelligence services at all and in
16:59
addition to that I mean you have things like the um the page boy scandal in 1982 that was brushed under the rug where uh
17:06
congressmen were were caught basically engaging in sex with uh Congressional Pages who were underage really I forgot
17:14
I I had for this it was in 1982 yep and then you have the Franklin Scandal um
17:20
the expert on that is Nick Bryant who if you want to learn more about that I would would encourage you to have him on your show what is it um but that was
17:27
basically about Republican it was a lobbyist that was running it uh in
17:32
Washington named Craig Spence nominally a lobbyist who claimed to have uh have
17:37
CIA connections his partner was a guy named Larry King a base in Nebraska Larry King would get kids from Nebraska
17:43
fly them out to DC um and they would uh basically be a raped and assaulted by powerful people
17:52
um and it's a very crazy story and again I'm not the expert in that I do include it in the book of course because it's
17:58
very relevant but uh of course I'm drawing a lot from Brian's work on that we we covered the Jerry Sandusky uh
18:04
situation now he was the guy from Penn State who was sexually abusing the
18:10
students constantly and that and that through that through that story I learned that there are networks of these
18:16
pedophiles and they have conventions almost right and that Jerry Sandusky would take and they'd take their boys to
18:22
be traffic there to trade them and stuff like that and yeah if I'm not mistaken wasn't Louis the former FBI
18:28
director involved in some aspect of of the of covering up sandusky's activities because he was also later hired by
18:35
um Associates of Jeffrey Epstein to intimidate his victims really no kidding
18:40
so let's let's move let's move on what's Clinton's FBI director yeah and then of
18:46
course of course Bill Clinton's on the Jeffrey Epstein light flight logs 27 times uh even though he said it was only
18:53
four right wasn't it 27 he showed up or 32. uh if something like that well some
18:58
of them are multiple trips so they show up on the flight logs multiple times because he was for example going on this
19:05
big trip around Africa and so there were multiple flights within that one broader trip right so sometimes it sounds kind
19:12
of misleading you know to say 27 because they they were you know part of the same long journey around different countries
19:18
in Africa but it was a significant amount of times and I don't think Bill Clinton is telling the truth about his relationship with Jeff Jeffrey I've seen
19:24
it all actually at that point in time Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton had known each other for about decade or so
19:31
which mainstream media seems uninclined and not interested in talking about at
19:37
all and Epstein was actually helping him set up the Clinton foundation and the Clinton Health Access initiative and
19:44
this is after more than a decade of Jeffrey Epstein uh being involved in the most controversial fundraisers in
19:50
Clinton presidential history right after and he um began his involvement with Clinton
19:57
fundraising right after his name was dropped from the case where he was named The Mastermind of one of the biggest
20:03
Ponzi schemes in U.S history so he basically goes from being one of the a notorious Financial criminal to becoming
20:11
um you know a a financial wizard for the clintons the Clinton family and so that's why he was probably picked to uh
20:18
set up what a lot of people refer to as the family's political slush fund the Clinton Foundation
20:23
so so that that's what that was the Clinton Foundation was a was a way to
20:28
keep you know while they weren't in elected office pay to play politics with the clintons yes exactly for like that's
20:35
how they do it yeah they turn cronyism into an art form and pay to play yeah and uh but you know uh Sam Harris will
20:42
tell you nothing they've done with compares to Trump University Trump University is almost like a
20:48
cartoon of a scandal compared to this right am I right
20:53
well when you're looking at Epstein to me you know uh the relationship with the
20:58
Clinton White House that Epstein had is much more damning than the Trump relationship in the 90s so apparently
21:05
the Epstein depending on who you believe right the Epstein Trump relationship fizzled out in the early 2000s over a
21:11
botched real estate deal where they were both competing over a palm uh Palm Beach Mansion they wanted to buy
21:17
um but in in the 90s it seems like you know in the late 80s Epstein and Trump
21:22
were partying together and were very much part of the same social milieu um and then it seems like he helped uh
21:28
arrange uh for Trump's uh two girlfriends in the 90s one of whom he
21:34
ended up marrying Melania Trump the first one was a woman named Selena middle fart who's a Norwegian heiress
21:40
who actually accompanied Epstein on one of his 17 White House visits to the Clinton White House um and uh that was uh Trump's girlfriend
21:48
before Melania um in my book I talk about how um in my opinion Jeffrey scene was
21:53
involved in two parallel operations of so there's the one that everyone knows about about the underage
22:00
exploited girls but then there's these women that he invests in a lot of times when they're minors but then funds their
22:06
education and what have you over time and really like develops them as assets and then he marries them off to his
22:11
powerful friends and so it seems like those two women Selena middle fart and depending on again who you believe uh
22:18
he's alleged to have introduced Trump to Melania Trump uh that both of those were
22:24
sort of arranged by him so so tell so so tell me more about uh
22:31
Jeffrey Epstein uh and his work with the government like his ties with the CIA
22:37
and stuff can you talk more about that okay so it's not just the CIA Israeli intelligence plays a major role here and
22:43
I would argue in terms of the sexual blackmail activities that's going to be Israeli intelligence above the CIA but
22:48
most likely sharing and talent intelligence with the CIA yeah but
22:54
earlier on in the 1980s which appeared in the early 80s which is when it seems like he gets directly involved with
22:59
intelligence it appears to have been the CIA and then he gets tied up with the Maxwells sometime in the in the late 80s
23:08
or early 90s and um at that point it um
23:14
shift again is it just Lane Maxwell's father wasn't she in the Mossad yeah so Robert Maxwell was uh very much
23:21
involved with Israeli intelligence uh several scandals actually that are poorly explored but really should be so
23:27
for example he sold uh software that had a back door for Israeli intelligence to
23:32
two highly classified nuclear labs in the United States Sandia and Los Alamos
23:37
um and so all our nuclear secrets were stolen via Espionage by the same uh you know uh the same guy who was handling
23:44
Robert Maxwell in this case Rafi Eton Rafi Eton was also the Handler of Jonathan Pollard who was on the other
23:51
as you know a big Israeli Espionage Scandal of of the 1980s um because he was stealing a bunch of
23:57
military secrets and giving it to Israel so is that's that's that's a situation
24:02
where Israel was spying on us the United States yes yes and it actually has
24:08
happened a lot um but uh we can either talk about that or uh return to Epstein I'm not sure
24:14
what you're let's return to Epstein okay so um Epstein in the early 1980s well from
24:21
the late 70s to the early 1980s he's working at Bear Stearns he has to leave bear Stearns under her basically it
24:27
seems like a cloud of Scandal he was being he was being investigated or by the SEC over allegations that he was
24:34
involved in insider trading that involved the bronfman family company Seagrams and
24:40
um he appears to have been advised to leave his post at Bear Stearns so at
24:46
that point he sort of enters this murky world where he claims he's either hiding or finding money uh for powerful people
24:53
looted money so stolen money so either he's helping Financial criminals hide their loot or he's helping the victims
25:00
of financial criminals find what was stolen from them so that should tell you right away that Jeffrey Epstein was an
25:06
expert in Shadow Banking and illicit Finance um his clients his main clients
25:12
allegedly during this time uh was at Nan khashoggi that's coming from a former business partner of his Steve hoffenberg
25:19
who's dead now um and Vicki Ward as well and Adnan khashoggi at this particular period of
25:24
time was on the payroll of Israeli intelligence involved with U.S intelligence Saudi intelligence many intelligence agencies but most
25:31
importantly he's one of the guys that in this exact period of time is setting into motion what later becomes known as
25:36
Iran Contra so one of his main Banks was called BCCI the bank of credit and
25:43
commerce International which was really much more than a bank it was really a private intelligence apparatus that was
25:49
set up with a set up by Pakistani intelligence with the involvement of the CIA and that particular Bank was
25:55
actually involved itself in sex trafficking minors to the elites of the United Arab Emirates
26:00
including prepubescent kids so it's very possible that uh Jeffrey Epstein learned
26:06
that art from them uh or he learned it from Anan khashoggi who used his yacht
26:11
to sexually blackmail businessmen and politicians so they would buy weapons from him um so straight from the off you have
26:19
um uh something so it's not right here so let me ask you questions let me ask you a quick question how do powerful
26:26
people not see this kind of stuff coming like how do they allow themselves to get
26:31
entrapped by someone sec in a sex thing like this well you know I think after writing
26:40
these books that depending on the the circle of powerful people you're talking about
26:46
um this is kind of normal this kind of depravity is kind of normal in some of these circles in the other cases it
26:52
might be naivety you know they don't expect to be entrapped at this party or have this uh filmed when they go
27:00
somewhere and everyone else is doing it so why don't I partake as well I mean there's a lot of different reasons and
27:05
another possible reason too is that um I think that you know intelligence agencies don't just blackmail uh people
27:13
once they're in power I think there are cases where they blackmail people who are unknown and then Elevate them into
27:18
positions of power in that way they're controlled right from the very beginning yeah so then they can just partake as
27:24
much as they want right okay so I'm sorry I interrupt to go back to your Jeffrey Epstein timeline yeah so at the
27:31
same time at Nan khashoggi hires Jeffrey Epstein as a client to do Finance stuff
27:37
for him he hires Roy Cohn as a lawyer and he hires Robert Keith Gray as his PR guy Robert Keith Gray is the guy behind
27:45
the page boy Scandal we talked about earlier and I just mentioned how Roy Cohn also had a long-standing
27:50
involvement of sexual blackmail and at this time Roy Cohn is also best known as a mob lawyer
27:56
so it's very interesting you have these people all swimming around at nankashoggi and the other interesting thing is that uh just before this Roy
28:03
Khan and Robert Keith Gray had worked very closely with Bill Casey at the Reagan campaign they worked directly under him
28:09
a bill Casey a CIA director at this point um but right uh probably two but that
28:15
was only about two months before Jeffrey Epstein left bear Stearns and before he was CIA director Bill Casey was the
28:22
lawyer for Bear Stearns so that's kind of an interesting connection because you
28:27
have you know legal trouble for Epstein at Bear Stern so it wouldn't necessarily
28:32
have been Casey saying that he should go it would have been whoever Casey put in charge of his legal portfolio why he CIA
28:38
director that would have told him that and then he starts hanging around with all these uh you know Casey Associates
28:45
involved in sexual blackmail and then Adnan khashoggi who's the guy that is being used by Casey and others to set in
28:51
demotion Iran Contra and I ran Contra a lot of times is misunderstood is just the arms for hostage crisis but really
28:58
what it was um in a broader sense um was Bill Casey was denied by Congress
29:04
funding for sending weapons to the contras so he wanted to find a way to avoid ever having to ask Congress for
29:11
money again right he wanted to find a way to make the black budget self-sustaining so he didn't have to
29:17
have congressional oversight of anything the CIA did ever again so it wasn't just about the contras it
29:23
was about finding rackets that would you know feed money into the CIA so they could do whatever covert operation uh
29:30
they wanted anywhere in the world and so when I ran Contra that's why you drug trafficking and arms trafficking uh
29:35
being major revenues of income for that particular operation and the Contra support apparatus and of course there's
29:41
there's a lot more going on there but that's essentially the world that Jeffrey Epstein is stepping into in the 1980s to a significant degree and then
29:48
in the later 80s he gets involved with Leslie Wexner who's also tied to organized crime and a
29:54
lot of other crazy stuff um and then Stephen hoffenberg with whom he plans this giant Ponzi scheme and
30:00
then as I mentioned earlier his name gets dropped from the case and he's going and hanging around the Clinton White House
30:06
wow so so then and then he just it's amazing so
30:13
he comes from bears and Stearns I didn't know Casey came from so the former well he was he was the lawyer yeah so he was
30:20
yeah yeah but it's amazing I mean it's really fascinating to me it is
30:25
fascinating all these and so um so he he gets him so then he's and then
30:32
he just Pals with the president of the United States he becomes Pals with Bill Clinton and now now and we all know the story
30:39
from there right so that and then and then he just keep so it's even weirder than that so the first
30:46
guy that invites Jeffrey Epson to the right White House is Robert Rubin and Robert Rubin later becomes treasury
30:52
secretary under Clinton but at this point he's director of the National Economic Council but right before that
30:58
and this is in the beginning of 93 so Reuben had only been in that position for a couple months before that he's the
31:03
head of Goldman Sachs which is the bank that was the biggest accessory arguably to Robert Maxwell's
31:09
including the stealing of the pension money uh from uh the people that work at the mirror group
31:14
and some of the media organizations that he ran and so that's an interesting connection you're talking about jizzling
31:20
Maxwell's father Robert Maxwell Robert Maxwell okay so they died in 1991 under uh odd
31:27
circumstances again yeah it seems like he seems like the Mossad killed him right
31:32
that's the uh that that seems to be the case yes even galane Maxwell thinks that she says it was a rogue Assad agents and
31:39
Sicilian contract Hitmen that killed her father she doesn't believe her father died of a suicide yeah
31:47
uh why is she allowed so the the big the big question people have about her is
31:53
that how could she be I don't I don't think you have an answer but how could she be convicted of
32:00
sex trafficking but there aren't any of her Johns where are the people she trafficked those kids to
32:06
go ahead Nancy do you know they're not they're not going to release it remember what I mentioned earlier about that
32:11
Client List they had that tried the girl that tried that slept with John F Kennedy and the FBI is like we don't
32:18
need this we're just gonna like light it on fire and get rid of it yeah so the FBI is not there to investigate and hold
32:25
the powerful to account they are there to cover up for their crimes and uh step on you basically the little people
32:34
um okay so they're not gonna release it right this is my point because and I don't think Elaine Maxwell's going to
32:40
talk either because she went from this dingy prison that Epstein quote unquote killed himself in and but now she's in
32:46
Country Club prison in Florida doing yoga and having vegan Thanksgiving dinners and apparently having a grand old time why do you think they didn't
32:53
kill her but they killed him you mean Epstein yes they killed Epstein
32:58
everyone knows they did I think Elaine Maxwell after what happened to not just her father but also Epstein uh was
33:06
willing to keep her mouth shut to stay alive and he he wasn't
33:11
I think he was more of a liability because he's not just involved in sex trafficking right he's involved in major
33:17
Financial crimes and a lot of other stuff okay Colleen Maxwell is definitely much more focused on sex trafficking
33:24
though it seems like the whole Maxwell family well her siblings were very much involved in uh some crazy stuff with
33:29
Microsoft and Bill Gates that I talk about in the book what's what's that
33:34
yeah um so you may have heard the mainstream media narrative that Jeffrey Epstein and
33:40
Bill Gates didn't need to meet each other until 2011 but that is a bunch of Hui uh because there's mainstream media
33:47
articles from 2001 saying that Jeffrey Epstein uh made all his money from his
33:53
business connections to Three Men and those three men are in this article uh
33:59
Leslie Wexner Donald Trump and the third one is Bill Gates so how did Jeffrey Epsy make a bunch of
34:05
money with Bill Gates if he didn't into that by 2001 if he didn't meet him until for another decade doesn't make a lot of
34:11
sense right um and then you start looking at this whole relationship and it's very clear that there's no way that's true a really
34:18
good example is a woman named Melanie Walker who was apparently supplied by
34:23
Epstein to serve as prince Andrew at Zorro Ranch on a couple of occasions she was recruited by Epstein in 1992
34:30
allegedly as a Victoria's Secret model but there's no evidence she ever actually modeled for Victoria's Secret
34:36
he apparently was funding her education hires her as his science advisor in the late 90s
34:42
um and then a couple years after that in the early 2000s she becomes the science
34:47
advisor to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation so if you're going to apply to be science advisor the Bill and
34:53
Melinda Gates Foundation and your CV says my most recent experience is being the science advisor to Jeffrey Epstein
34:59
and your Bill Gates hiring your top science advisor you would have to know who Jeffrey Epstein is and what kind of
35:04
science he's into right yes so so so Bill Gates uh
35:11
in deep with Jeffrey Epstein and lying about it yeah but I think part of it's
35:16
not just uh to protect Bill Gates it's to protect Microsoft because you also in the 90s have Jeffrey Epstein flying
35:23
around on planes do official Microsoft functions in Russia uh apparently giving
35:29
women to the chief technology officer who was very close to Bill Gates named Nathan mervald uh a relationship with
35:35
another top Microsoft executive named Linda Stone who hired one of Epstein's Entourage to be her uh secretary all
35:43
sorts of stuff uh going on there with Epstein and Microsoft and it's not just Epstein as I mentioned earlier uh the
35:49
Maxwells uh Elaine Maxwell has very much invested in a company that was run by
35:55
her twin sisters Christine and Isabelle um called the McKinley group or Magellan it was one of the first search engines
36:01
they made an early deal with Microsoft in 1995 and it was Isabel Maxwell that
36:07
made that deal specifically with Microsoft there's this very weird article in the guardian
36:12
from 2000 where Isabel Maxwell and I read like for the book I read like maybe
36:17
30 interviews Isabel Maxwell has given over the years and this is the only one where a journalist says uh she started
36:24
purring and speaking in a fake southern accent and she does that when she talks about Bill Gates isn't that weird what
36:31
um yeah yeah that is weird yeah it's weird so you
36:37
know she must have known him pretty well uh I wish I had the article in front of me
36:44
so I could quote from it it's very odd but she but uh the other thing too is that at that time she was subsequently
36:49
running a different company uh that was very much tied to uh is the Israeli National Security State and the IDF and
36:58
um that company was like hemorrhaging money and its IPO was going to collapse but uh it suddenly come uh the two
37:05
Microsoft co-founders Paul Allen and Bill Gates and they pour a bunch of money uh into comtouch and basically
37:11
rescue it and then give it more money even though it's never made a profit and doesn't really have a real product and
37:17
uh according to Isabel Maxwell they put it on the map so there's a lot of associations between
37:24
the Maxwell family and and Microsoft that should be looked at and same with Epstein and they haven't been so now
37:32
what what about uh so now I tell this story on stage in a joke about
37:39
um Alec Baldwin's names appears on the Jeffrey Epstein flight log right and
37:44
um that lady that he shot uh the have you heard that rumor about
37:51
what her next her next job was so I've heard the rumor but I don't know if it was confirmed or not yeah I haven't
37:57
heard it confirmed okay so let's let's that's what about Whitney I was I've been watching a lot of interviews with
38:02
you I was just on a plane watch a bunch of this you brought up um they're called the CIA of Wall Street the cruel English
38:08
Associates yeah I mean because we know Nick Rolle that's his dad's company what
38:14
you're Nicole's dad nickroll's dad's yeah what about what about Nick roll's dad's company what the CIA it's very
38:21
sauce his company is called the US and Israeli intelligence veterans coming together to uh be the CIA of Wall Street
38:28
it's who Weinstein hired to go check on his uh accusers like a race it's crazy
38:36
what's the name of the company the CIA of Wall Street uh crawl Associates Jules
38:42
Crowell is the guy that created it Nick is a boy Elaine Maxwell is that what we're saying
38:48
oh I didn't know that well it's tied to improv who would have thought yeah do
38:55
you remember when um that judge was shot she was going to look into that case yeah yes I do yeah so the guy that
39:03
allegedly did a hit on her home is an ex-crawl Associates employee
39:08
uh crawl Associates is also uh The Firm that Robert Maxwell hired right before his death
39:15
um and uh a whole bunch of other stuff uh they did security uh at the World
39:20
Trade Center when 9 11 happened all sorts of stuff with crawl Associates it's quite a ride uh to investigate them
39:27
Ron Brown the guys that helped set them up was part of that uh sexual blackmail operation about uh John F Kennedy I
39:34
mentioned earlier Tom corbally uh who was uh tied to organized crime in the U.S and then
39:40
um went over to Britain and uh did stuff over there uh he was also hanging out with uh Heidi
39:48
Fleiss the Hollywood madam
39:53
um I watched a clip of when you talk about Ron Brown because I got like a stupid random memory right and and I
39:58
remember Ron Brown the guy that died like back I can't remember what was George W in office but you were talking
40:04
about Ron Brown's mysterious death I was like is this the same you said he would look like Lando oh that is him
40:10
so Kyle dunnigant my buddy that I made comedy videos with his dad was the lawyer who had the big case against the
40:16
NAT faulty navigational system that's my friend's dad was the lawyer
40:22
that sued wow for that supposedly faulty navigational system and yeah you know
40:27
the guy that was at the airport in Croatia that was supposedly partly responsible for the navigation error was
40:34
found two days later after that plane crash uh with a shot with a gun wound to the chest and it was ruled as a suicide
40:41
I don't know what you guys are talking about sorry I should go back yeah so let's let's go back to the Clinton White
40:46
House Epstein visits for a second so I can explain where Ron Brown fits into all of this but this but before I start
40:52
Ron Brown was Clinton's uh Secretary of Commerce okay
40:57
um so we'll start there so Jeffrey Epstein I mentioned his first meeting was with Robert rube in a second uh
41:03
meetings in 1993 were around this fundraiser that makes an appearance and Vince Vince Foster's suicide note among
41:09
other things and then uh after that Jeffrey Epstein has 15 meetings in about
41:15
a year with a guy named Mark Middleton Mark Middleton died earlier this year with an extension cord around his neck
41:20
and a shotgun wound to the chest in Little Rock Arkansas which ruled a suicide well he must have been depressed
41:28
here's the other thing Mark Middleton was so scandalous for what he was doing at the same time Jeffrey Epstein was
41:34
meeting with him that he was being investigated by Congress and the only reason that investigation never finished
41:40
is because the first time George W bush the subsequent president and invoked executive privilege was to keep
41:46
documents about Mark Middleton from being made available to Congress Mark Middleton was not a big fish you would
41:52
think at the White House he was just an aide to the chief of staff to Bill Clinton
41:58
so what was going on with Mark Middleton there well it's mostly remembered as
42:03
this scandal in 1996 called The Campaign Finance Scandal of 96 related to the
42:09
fundraising of the DNC um for Clinton's re-election campaign
42:14
but a lot of what was going on is that foreign citizens were laundering campaign contributions uh filling DNC
42:21
coffers but a lot of it was targeting Ron Brown and a lot of what was going on there were efforts to change uh Commerce
42:29
Department policy so that a lot of very sensitive military technology could be
42:35
sent to adversary Nations uh when that was normally not allowed and some of the
42:41
people at the center of this were people like uh Lockheed Martin CEOs who
42:46
actually later goes on to create um inqutel for the CIA and you have
42:52
um a guy named Bernard Schwartz that runs a race to run Laurel space he was one of Biden's biggest donors in 2020
43:00
um and so basically you have this influence uh you know this basically this huge effort to undermine the
43:06
Commerce department and buy off Ron Brown uh and Ron Brown at some point as all of this kept going on pieces of it
43:13
began to unravel and he agreed to co-op with investig cooperate with investigators uh after uh not long after
43:21
that he was unexpectedly invited to go on a trade mission to Croatia and the
43:26
plane crashes because of a supposedly because of an aging navigational system
43:33
yeah uh everyone on the plane uh dies except for a flight attendant that
43:39
apparently walked away but then when she arrived at the hospital in a military helicopter she was at an arrival with a
43:44
broken neck um and Ron Brown's Body uh was so odd
43:50
when it was discovered uh that people in Congress called for it to be investigated because he appeared to have
43:56
a bullet wound and a skull not caused by a plane crash but it wasn't just Ron Brown you had
44:02
like 34 uh or so other people on the plane and they were all part of the same
44:07
uh the ITA at the Commerce Department which was uh the most infiltrated by this broader campaign Finance Scandal
44:13
China um was it called China Gate well some so conservatives call it China
44:20
Gate but I would say that's a misnomer so it involved a lot of China stuff but the family that was really behind it
44:26
were the riyadi family and they were based in Indonesia and the riyadi family were business partners and long time
44:32
Associates of the guy named Jackson Stevens who basically bankrolled and was largely responsible for the Clinton
44:39
family's rise to power uh you know when Bill Clinton became governor of Arkansas and so on and he was intimately involved
44:46
in a lot of his companies were involved in things like Iran Contra the promise software Scandal a lot of major
44:52
Espionage activity that's also tied to crime and
44:57
of course you know Clinton era cronyism in the 80s and and Beyond and so the
45:02
riyadi family sort of uh they were also very tied up with BCCI the same bank that Epstein was
45:08
um apparently working with a happy family dude yeah but BCCI collapsed in
45:14
1991 and so there were efforts after that by the same net work to find replacements and I think that's sort of
45:20
what China Gate ended up being about well listen uh this is all fascinating
45:26
and I wish we had more time to talk to you today we don't have to bring you back on because I'm I can tell there's a lot more stuff to
45:33
talk about so uh but we have to we have to so we will uh we will try to find a time when
45:39
you can come back on uh this is all very fascinating people in the chat are going crazy I'm gonna guess oh yeah yeah
45:45
people are going nuts so uh everybody should check out uh this two books two volumes of this book One Nation Under
45:52
blackmail and the first one just kind of sets up how the government the CIA Israeli intelligence all create these
46:00
sex the Mafia the mafia and the mafia come together that's right to create Synergy it's synergy
46:06
[Laughter] vertical integration and the second one focuses more on
46:13
Jeffrey Epstein and all his uh who is this guy Maxwell that's Robert Maxwell that's just Jillian's father okay but it
46:20
also focuses a lot on Leslie Wexner who has not talked about enough and he's seriously a crazy dude I mean he in New
46:26
York mag he told New York Magazine in 1985 that uh there's a demon that lives inside him and tells him what to do I'm
46:32
not even kidding please go look it up and read it for yourself it sounds crazy but it's not he's a very respectful it
46:39
is crazy but it's real you know but like why would you tell New York Magazine that unless you're like totally Off Your
46:45
Rocker right you know um but anyway if any of this stuff sounds crazy to people I would encourage
46:51
you to read the books I have exhaustively footnoted everything there's a source for everything I say you can go and check this out for

One Nation Under Blackmail description

Exposes vastly under-explored topics compared to other media reports and books on Jeffrey Epstein How did Jeffrey Epstein manage to evade justice for decades? Who enabled him and why? Why were legal officials told that Epstein “ belonged to intelligence” and to back off during his first arrest in the mid-2000s? Volume 1 of One Nation Under Blackmail traces the origin of the network behind Jeffrey Epstein and his associates to the merging of organized crime and intelligence networks during World War II and follows their most notable activities through the decades. Various scandals, acts of and other crimes throughout the last several decades of American history, many involving sex blackmail, can be traced back to these same networks, which have subverted and taken control of many of America' s most important institutions for their benefit, and to the detriment of the public.
