“One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein” (Video + Transcript)


Journalist Whitney Webb has worked to uncover some of the most dangerous stories of our lifetime, and she joins Glenn to reveal just how eye-opening it’s been. Her new two-volume book, “One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein,” examines Epstein’s elaborate network of corruption and power, from Bill Clinton to Ghislaine Maxwell and many more. Her research into transhumanism has given her a terrifying perspective on the World Economic Forum and tech elites, including Elon Musk. And she tells Glenn the dark truth about Biden’s push for electric vehicles that she noticed while living in Chile. https://youtu.be/w-d3jFIGxdQ

[Music]
4:38
thank you [Music]
4:45
welcome I am a huge fan of your work um uh you have covered some of the most
4:54
important stories I think um in my lifetime wow thank you and you
5:01
are so clear on all of them and most of these stories are the ones you can’t get
5:08
answers on they’re all the stories that the big and powerful want
5:13
to hide want you to not see what’s really going on and it’s
5:19
it’s so frustrating because it’s clear that these things are happening and
5:24
should be discussed you worried ever about your safety
5:31
um no and the reason I say that is because I think you know um a lot of what we’re facing is an
5:36
energetic and spiritual uh battle I guess you could say and
5:42
um I think in order you know if you’re afraid of these people yeah um you’re giving them power over you and
5:49
I think really the only way to win this is to have your commitment to you know what you’re fighting for the good
5:55
about Humanity to be total right so good for you how old are you uh 33. you write and
6:05
think and speak like you’re 80 and very wise thank you must have a good
6:11
parents um okay so I want to talk to you if we can in an hour I want to mention Bitcoin
6:17
get a little bit of that journalism transhumanism ESG the world economic
6:23
Forum we’re not going to be able to get to all of it but we have to start with Jeffrey Epstein because the way you have
6:30
written about him it connects to a whole world of corruption yeah is he kind of
6:38
the Rosetta Stone yeah I think it’s sort of like a meta Scandal you’re looking at someone who
6:44
really had I guess for lack of a better metaphor had his hands and a lot of Pies right so he was sort of at the
6:51
center of a lot of scandals but not necessarily at the top right I think he was more maybe middle management in a
6:57
sense but very Central to a lot of these things going on that sort of these um networks in which he
7:04
um in which he inhabits are involved in you know numerous acts of corruption simultaneously and he you know is there
7:12
involved in many of them but not necessarily at the top level right so was he was he a spy
7:19
I think he definitely had intelligence connections and there’s a lot um you know to suggest that was the case
7:24
I think one of the most uh the earliest hints we heard of that was having a Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta under
7:30
Trump uh say that one of the reasons he was pressured into giving Epstein a sweetheart deal during his first um
7:36
arrest in in Florida was because he had been told by unspecified actors that Epstein belonged to intelligence but
7:43
that’s kind of you know what exactly does that mean was he an asset was he on the payroll which intelligence agency
7:49
multiple intelligence agencies when you have his close association with someone like Gillian Maxwell in the mix and her
7:55
father had affiliations with numerous intelligence agencies you know it really is an open question it was kind of a bad
8:01
guy reading your work about him and explain who he was uh so Robert Maxwell was
8:09
involved in many things but he definitely played a major role in undermining U.S national security by
8:14
selling bug software to nuclear Laboratories in the United States and this was directly facilitated by
8:20
well-known Statesmen in U.S history like Henry Kissinger for example and a lot of
8:26
the people I think that enabled him at least on the U.S side tend to be those that uh favor Global governance and you know
8:34
they kind of don’t want the U.S to have that kind of Monopoly on power because all of his family they were
8:40
killed in the Holocaust right and so he he’s in the west England he
8:47
survives becomes kind of uh William Randolph Hearst of
8:53
England yeah media Mogul sure yeah um and uh and then
9:00
betrays the west and that’s not because he was on the other he wasn’t on the
9:05
Soviet side he was on a global government side well I think there you have to look at this network and they’ve
9:11
evolved over time right uh Robert Maxwell is very close to the Eastern Bloc he had a very close relationship
9:16
with intelligence figures in the KGB and also Bulgaria he had a relationship with British intelligence and Israeli
9:22
intelligence and was involved in aspects of what later became known as Iran Contra which of course involves aspects
9:29
of U.S intelligence so I mean he had his hands and everything you know everywhere and everything and I think ultimately
9:34
people like him are interested in any deal they can make to advance their money and their power and their
9:40
influence they’ll take it so Robert Maxwell was very interested in having his family be like the Kennedy family a
9:47
political power Dynasty and that’s part of why he started moving into New York City around you know just a year or two
9:54
before he ended up dying and Ghislaine Maxwell was sent to New York sort of to be his Emissary wow and to the U.S and
10:00
he wanted her actually to marry a Kennedy and this is a test of two and you know past mainstream media reports and you know you can see his efforts
10:08
to get her close to I think one of the sons of Robert F Kennedy um and also John F Kennedy Jr trying to
10:15
get her sort of in that social tier because he sort of saw that as you
10:20
know would Advance his power and also you know that of his children and I think if you look a lot at the psychology of Robert Maxwell he seems to
10:27
have had narcissistic elements and that could be because of the trauma of his past and a lot of times narcissistic
10:33
parents see their children as extensions of themselves and so you know he’s looking at how to build an Empire and
10:39
using his children to that effect and you sort of see that with the psychology of Colleen Maxwell
10:46
was she part and parcel of from the beginning or
10:51
was she uh you know kind of a good girl idealistic comes over here you know
10:59
knows that Dad wants to put her into powerful positions but not shopping
11:05
women I think it’s a lot more complicated than that you have to look at her early history
11:10
um the favorite son of Robert Maxwell was originally Michael Maxwell he wasn’t a vegetative state after a car crash I
11:16
think when he was 15 and that happened shortly after just a few days after Ghislaine was born so new her family
11:23
members and she herself have attested to that she was basically neglected for the first three years of her life and even developed a childhood anorexia
11:30
things like that and then you know not a few years after she becomes the favorite Child so she goes from having this
11:36
complete lack of Parental attention to being sort of showered in it by Robert Maxwell and that obviously has is going
11:43
to have a psychological impact on someone and in addition there’s uh she was
11:48
basically managed by her father from a very early age he managed her tried to manage her
11:54
romantic life he tried to manage what job she would have and she was very dependent on him so when he is dead in
12:00
1991 it makes sense that she would attach herself to someone with a lot of the similar characteristics
12:06
right so Dad didn’t know about Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t alive at that point well
12:11
the allegation have been made by people that worked with Robert Maxwell um in the 80s that Jeffrey Epstein was
12:18
seen in his offices frequently in the United Kingdom and during that period of time it was known that Epstein was
12:24
active in the United Kingdom he was allegedly being mentored by a British arms dealer named Douglas lease with a
12:29
British intelligence connections yeah first of all you wrote two volumes yeah
12:36
a thousand Pages yeah I mean that is crazy amounts of work yeah I had my son
12:41
was born in the middle of it so it was really crazy you were there for that I imagine when your son was born
12:47
um so tell me a thousand pages and it’s not there’s no
12:53
fluff in it I mean it is it’s dense it’s very dense why is it nobody else is reporting on
13:00
this um well I guess I could I don’t really know exactly why that would be but the
13:06
the silence is very eerie about major aspects of the Epstein case
13:11
um you know it ended up being a thousand Pages because I was as I was writing about Epstein a lot of the connections
13:16
that came up I was I was just you know increasingly aware that a lot of people in the American public
13:22
um you know a lot of the names I was coming across most people weren’t going to be familiar with correct you know um
13:28
Banks like the bank of credit and commerce International or BCCI the Scandal that involved or even things
13:33
like Iran Contra people may have heard the name but don’t really know what it involved so I figured I was gonna have to go back and sort of explain that to
13:40
people so that type of context is a volume one of the book and um and also
13:46
the history of sexual blackmail and how it’s been sort of an undercurrent in some past political scandals in American
13:52
history and how in in these sorts of networks in which Epstein was inhabiting that type of practice and exploitation
13:58
even of minors for those purposes was actually um disturbingly common so Epstein starts
14:04
to look less and less of a you know he’s not an anomaly basically right um by the time you get through with
14:10
volume one and so volume two is sort of my effort to um you know dig up as much as I could
14:16
you know with stuff that’s publicly available really about Epstein and also
14:21
his greatest benefactor Leslie Wexner and then also uh you know Colleen Maxwell okay so uh this is just
14:29
there’s a lot to discuss there’s a lot to discuss here on just this because it’s this goes to the Deep state or you
14:37
call it deep politics and it’s been going on for a long time
14:43
but people I don’t think realize that you know the born identity you know
14:49
those Jason Bourne movies that that is a reflection of some people’s real lives I
14:55
mean it’s a totally fictitious story but those things do go on and
15:01
and I tell you I have I have felt for a long time with the just with the
15:08
NSA listening to everybody’s phone calls if you’re important in Washington
15:14
they’re going to do everything they can to manage you to manage you yeah so if
15:20
you’re not rock solid in who you are and what right and wrong really is they got
15:25
you yeah but even they don’t you know today I think we’ve moved away from the type of
15:31
model that Epstein used for sexual blackmail it’s an era of electronic blackmail and you don’t even have to do
15:37
anything wrong they can just plant it on your devices and play gotcha that way so it’s really an unprecedented situation
15:43
and a lot of these intelligence agencies as I know in the book you know really for decades have been totally out of
15:49
control um and you know I really start off the book talking about how intelligence agencies and organized crime in the U.S
15:56
got in bed together and really that symbiosis um you know it was originally Justified out of wartime necessity during World
16:02
War II yeah but it never stopped right and it’s um you know business is
16:07
business and some of these people in our own National Security State you know realize they could make a lot of money
16:12
working with organized crime and really shielding them and getting in on the spoils I guess you could say
16:20
good news and bad news here is the bad news first then we get right back into the podcast it looks like beef prices
16:26
are probably going to increase by another 20 percent early next year not
16:32
great nothing like a large increase in meat prices the largest in U.S history
16:37

17:38
you know we think of in my idealistic years of thinking about
17:45
America I thought well we did some bad things yes and I’m not talking about slavery or anything else I’m talking
17:50
about things we did in war but we had you know we really didn’t want to do those things
17:57
I’m not sure if any of that is true are the people involved in this stuff do
18:02
they recognize at all that this is evil or is this just business well I think when you’re talking about an
18:08
intelligence agencies there’s hierarchies so there’s like people maybe low in different levels that may think
18:13
what they’re doing is right and advancing American interests but then there’s people at the top that aren’t necessarily like that and it’s about
18:19
advancing their own interests if you look at a lot of controversial intelligence operations and decisions
18:24
coups for example of the past a lot of it was justified as going against communist influence trying to keep
18:31
that from growing but then some of these same actors like the Iran Contra types they ended up
18:37
getting involved with the Chinese government just a few years later in the 1990s and some of this blossomed into
18:43
what a lot of conservatives today remember is China Gate during the client Administration and things like that so you know they really have no allegiance
18:49
to anything except uh their desire to grow their own money and power are we ever going to find out who’s in
18:55
the black book I don’t think so I think the FBI has been compromised from the very beginning uh in the book I talk a lot about J
19:02
Edgar Hoover he was blackmailed by the mob he realized the power blackmail had started using blackmail himself and you
19:10
know increasingly the FBI and I think it’s very obvious to a lot of conservatives now comes in to cover things up and to you know go after uh
19:18
you know figures that they you know don’t want to advance in their careers
19:23
or you know any sort of thing it’s very um it’s very complicated so what do
19:29
we do as a country when you know there needs to be massive investigations of all sorts of stuff Jeffrey Epstein being one and you know the government is
19:35
increasingly capable incapable of investigating itself especially when you’re looking at the FBI or something
19:41
can we just go through some names like Alan Dershowitz and Bill Clinton and
19:46
Donald Trump what were they involved in uh so
19:54
um so each of those cases is really different but if I’m looking at you know I guess the one that’s gotten the mo
19:59
gotten the most attention obviously are the former presidents right Trump and Clinton as far as I’m concerned the
20:05
Clinton Epstein relationship is much more damaging than the Trump Epstein relationship but they’re you know are
20:11
obvious reasons for concern uh in both of them and I don’t think it’s uh you
20:16
know I in in trying to be objective you know I can’t absolve one or the other but are you saying are you saying
20:23
because one is more damage because people don’t understand it’s not just the horrific evil sex trafficking that
20:31
was going on it’s also massive corruption and financial
20:36
crimes and yeah and that’s particularly glaring with the Epstein Clinton relationship you have someone like Jeffrey Epstein that described himself
20:43
in the 80s as a financial Bounty Hunter he was hiding or finding looted money for powerful people that’s coming from
20:50
him and he said this to numerous people there’s numerous source is attesting to this so obviously he was very
20:55
comfortable with the offshore Financial system Shadow Banking and all of that and then in the late 80s in addition to
21:02
becoming involved with Leslie Wexner’s finances he is involved in orchestrating one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S
21:09
history the other person he worked with in that Stephen Hoffenberg you know is arrested and goes to jail for that in
21:15
1993 Epstein’s name is dropped from the case and he ends up at Clinton White House fundraisers
21:20
and one of those fundraisers is involved Hillary Clinton’s effort to alleged
21:26
effort to refurbish the White House and this makes a brief appearance and Vince Foster’s quote unquote suicide note the
21:33
only mention of Hillary Clinton in that suicide note is relating to her and khaki Hawker Smith redecorating and how
21:38
there was nothing wrong with the finances there if you’re um you know listeners are familiar with
21:45
the Vince Foster situation and how Hillary Clinton her office was involved
21:51
in finding the suicide not when there was nothing in the briefcase and all of that later it’s very interesting the only mention of her name would be in
21:57
trying to absolve that particular fundraiser of you know any wrongdoing which might have been Foster’s
22:03
responsibility and that’s Jeffrey Epstein’s you know one of his first interactions with the white house there’s a picture of him shaking hands
22:09
with Bill Clinton at that fundraiser donor reception and only UK media
22:15
covered that when it came out last December I gotta tell you it’s pretty stunning I only see stuff that I kind of
22:22
trust from UK now I read any if there’s any scandal going on in America I trust
22:28
the Foreign Press more than I trust Harper well isn’t it stunning that there’s a picture of you know the claim has been for a long time that the
22:34
Epstein Clinton relationship only really began after Clinton left office and then you have a picture contradicting that
22:39
and it doesn’t get any coverage so how does there’s something else there obviously I was shocked to learn from
22:46
you that Ron Brown I remember he was a guy who
22:51
was on a plane going someplace Croatia yeah Croatia and it crashed and
22:56
everybody was like that’s another Clinton murder and I’ve never really bought into the I mean you wouldn’t have
23:02
to push me far but I’m a fact guy you know what I mean yeah show me the facts um
23:09
unravel to understand the Ron Brown situation because it’s tied up with that what I mentioned earlier China Gate
23:15
which was uh very difficult even for Congress to investigate the man at the center of it who was also the man that
23:21
Jeffrey Epstein met with repeatedly at the White House named Mark Middleton he pleaded the fifth 28 times including uh
23:28
to the question is was he a foreign agent and pretty much every key figure they
23:33
tried to subpoena also pleaded the fifth and there was just um you know it was
23:39
very difficult to investigate and even the George W Bush Administration the
23:45
first invocation of executive privilege of Bush’s president was among other things to block documents about Mark
23:51
Middleton being made available to Congress and the 911 happens and everyone forgets wow it’s very
23:57
amazing because Mark Middleton was not a high-ranking guy he was uh an aide to uh Mac McLarty he
24:04
was chief of staff and then a senior advisor to Bill Clinton so why are you having the subsequent president stepping in for Mark Middleton
24:11
there’s obviously a lot going on there because at the same time that Mark
24:16
Middleton is involved in China Gate he’s meeting with Jeffrey Epstein and Jeffrey Epstein in that period of time is
24:21
arranging for the relocation of Southern Air transport the Iran-Contra Airline from instead of going from Miami to
24:28
Latin America it starts going from Columbus Ohio where Leslie Wexner is based to Hong Kong
24:34
so are those events connected I make a case for that in the book and if true it’s very disconcerting because
24:41
basically you know to summarize China Gate you have a mass transfer of sensitive U.S military technology being
24:48
made to China it’s being paid for by the PLA or the Chinese military and Ron
24:54
Brown was at the center of that because the Commerce Department Commerce Department was signing off on you know
24:59
all sorts of so why was he then supposedly killed he uh shortly before
25:05
he was unexpectedly asked to go on a trade mission to Croatia he agreed to cooperate with an investigation into
25:12
this particular Network that was executing China Gate and the people on the U.S side that were facilitating
25:19
China Gate were people that were connected to the networks of longtime Clinton benefactors the riyadi family
25:26
and Jackson Stevens who you know were sort of political King makers for Bill
25:31
Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas it’s how much crazy how much of what we
25:38
think we know is wrong or how big of a role is what we
25:45
think we know to what really is happening well I think there’s been a major effort to control the media and
25:52
how much information gets to the American public about all sorts of things if you look at the Epstein case you’re only allowed to talk about his
25:58
sex crimes from 2000 to 2006. don’t look at his financial crimes or any of the
26:04
thing he did before the year 2000 is you know pretty much how mainstream media handles the case and that’s pretty
26:10
you know there’s a lot to find if you can go back farther so when you’re looking let’s just look at
26:15
Epstein for a second when you’re looking at his circle of influence he is
26:21
somebody who’s kind of recruiting just getting people on tape doing horrible
26:27
things or raising money so they’re in the pocket right is that kind of his role I think that’s part of it but at
26:34
the same time you know he’s doing a lot of that he’s also involved in financial Crim you know Financial crimes pretty
26:40
much throughout his career I mean that’s the Common Thread from Epstein from the 70s right until his son know that if he
26:47
was working as an operation that would kind of be over I think it was known I
26:52
mean even in January 2020 you have John McCain’s wife Cindy McCain saying we all knew what Epstein was doing right and
26:58
this is the wife of a senator with no direct connection to the Epstein Scandal so that means top people in our Congress
27:05
and Senate knew what Epstein was up to and nothing was done and so does that I
27:11
mean is there a big body count around Epstein yeah I think yeah I think there is to an extent uh Mark Middleton
27:18
who I just mentioned was found uh hung by the neck by an extension cord in May with a shotgun wound to the chest
27:25
um and it was ruled suicide in Little Rock Arkansas and a local Court ruled uh
27:32
pretty shortly thereafter that no video or you know photos of the scene could be publicly released
27:38
and this was only after you know Mark Middleton had been involved in China getting numerous other scandals but that
27:44
only happened just a few months after the visitor logs of him meeting with Epstein was released last December and
27:50
published by the UK’s Daily Mail so that’s one but that’s one recently
27:55
you also have Jean-Luc Burnell who was a major uh facilitator of his uh sex
28:00
trafficking activities particularly when it came to the modeling industry um Turned Up dead in his prison cell
