Her new two-volume book, \u201cOne Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein,\u201d examines Epstein\u2019s 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.

\/>\nwelcome I am a huge fan of your work um uh you have covered some of the most<br \/>\n4:54<br \/>\nimportant stories I think um in my lifetime wow thank you and you<br \/>\n5:01<br \/>\nare so clear on all of them and most of these stories are the ones you can&#8217;t get<br \/>\n5:08<br \/>\nanswers on they&#8217;re all the stories that the big and powerful want<br \/>\n5:13<br \/>\nto hide want you to not see what&#8217;s really going on and it&#8217;s<br \/>\n5:19<br \/>\nit&#8217;s so frustrating because it&#8217;s clear that these things are happening and<br \/>\n5:24<br \/>\nshould be discussed you worried ever about your safety<br \/>\n5:31<br \/>\num no and the reason I say that is because I think you know um a lot of what we&#8217;re facing is an<br \/>\n5:36<br \/>\nenergetic and spiritual uh battle I guess you could say and<br \/>\n5:42<br \/>\num I think in order you know if you&#8217;re afraid of these people yeah um you&#8217;re giving them power over you and<br \/>\n5:49<br \/>\nI think really the only way to win this is to have your commitment to you know what you&#8217;re fighting for the good<br \/>\n5:55<br \/>\nabout Humanity to be total right so good for you how old are you uh 33. you write and<br \/>\n6:05<br \/>\nthink and speak like you&#8217;re 80 and very wise thank you must have a good<br \/>\n6:11<br \/>\nparents um okay so I want to talk to you if we can in an hour I want to mention Bitcoin<br \/>\n6:17<br \/>\nget a little bit of that journalism transhumanism ESG the world economic<br \/>\n6:23<br \/>\nForum we&#8217;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<br \/>\n6:30<br \/>\nwritten about him it connects to a whole world of corruption yeah is he kind of<br \/>\n6:38<br \/>\nthe Rosetta Stone yeah I think it&#8217;s sort of like a meta Scandal you&#8217;re looking at someone who<br \/>\n6:44<br \/>\nreally 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<br \/>\n6:51<br \/>\ncenter of a lot of scandals but not necessarily at the top right I think he was more maybe middle management in a<br \/>\n6:57<br \/>\nsense but very Central to a lot of these things going on that sort of these um networks in which he<br \/>\n7:04<br \/>\num in which he inhabits are involved in you know numerous acts of corruption simultaneously and he you know is there<br \/>\n7:12<br \/>\ninvolved in many of them but not necessarily at the top level right so was he was he a spy<br \/>\n7:19<br \/>\nI think he definitely had intelligence connections and there&#8217;s a lot um you know to suggest that was the case<br \/>\n7:24<br \/>\nI think one of the most uh the earliest hints we heard of that was having a Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta under<br \/>\n7:30<br \/>\nTrump uh say that one of the reasons he was pressured into giving Epstein a sweetheart deal during his first um<br \/>\n7:36<br \/>\narrest in in Florida was because he had been told by unspecified actors that Epstein belonged to intelligence but<br \/>\n7:43<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s kind of you know what exactly does that mean was he an asset was he on the payroll which intelligence agency<br \/>\n7:49<br \/>\nmultiple intelligence agencies when you have his close association with someone like Gillian Maxwell in the mix and her<br \/>\n7:55<br \/>\nfather had affiliations with numerous intelligence agencies you know it really is an open question it was kind of a bad<br \/>\n8:01<br \/>\nguy reading your work about him and explain who he was uh so Robert Maxwell was<br \/>\n8:09<br \/>\ninvolved in many things but he definitely played a major role in undermining U.S national security by<br \/>\n8:14<br \/>\nselling bug software to nuclear Laboratories in the United States and this was directly facilitated by<br \/>\n8:20<br \/>\nwell-known Statesmen in U.S history like Henry Kissinger for example and a lot of<br \/>\n8:26<br \/>\nthe 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<br \/>\n8:34<br \/>\nthey kind of don&#8217;t want the U.S to have that kind of Monopoly on power because all of his family they were<br \/>\n8:40<br \/>\nkilled in the Holocaust right and so he he&#8217;s in the west England he<br \/>\n8:47<br \/>\nsurvives becomes kind of uh William Randolph Hearst of<br \/>\n8:53<br \/>\nEngland yeah media Mogul sure yeah um and uh and then<br \/>\n9:00<br \/>\nbetrays the west and that&#8217;s not because he was on the other he wasn&#8217;t on the<br \/>\n9:05<br \/>\nSoviet side he was on a global government side well I think there you have to look at this network and they&#8217;ve<br \/>\n9:11<br \/>\nevolved over time right uh Robert Maxwell is very close to the Eastern Bloc he had a very close relationship<br \/>\n9:16<br \/>\nwith intelligence figures in the KGB and also Bulgaria he had a relationship with British intelligence and Israeli<br \/>\n9:22<br \/>\nintelligence and was involved in aspects of what later became known as Iran Contra which of course involves aspects<br \/>\n9:29<br \/>\nof U.S intelligence so I mean he had his hands and everything you know everywhere and everything and I think ultimately<br \/>\n9:34<br \/>\npeople like him are interested in any deal they can make to advance their money and their power and their<br \/>\n9:40<br \/>\ninfluence they&#8217;ll take it so Robert Maxwell was very interested in having his family be like the Kennedy family a<br \/>\n9:47<br \/>\npolitical power Dynasty and that&#8217;s part of why he started moving into New York City around you know just a year or two<br \/>\n9:54<br \/>\nbefore 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<br \/>\n10:00<br \/>\nhe 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<br \/>\n10:08<br \/>\nto get her close to I think one of the sons of Robert F Kennedy um and also John F Kennedy Jr trying to<br \/>\n10:15<br \/>\nget her sort of in that social tier because he sort of saw that as you<br \/>\n10:20<br \/>\nknow 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<br \/>\n10:27<br \/>\nhave had narcissistic elements and that could be because of the trauma of his past and a lot of times narcissistic<br \/>\n10:33<br \/>\nparents see their children as extensions of themselves and so you know he&#8217;s looking at how to build an Empire and<br \/>\n10:39<br \/>\nusing his children to that effect and you sort of see that with the psychology of Colleen Maxwell<br \/>\n10:46<br \/>\nwas she part and parcel of from the beginning or<br \/>\n10:51<br \/>\nwas she uh you know kind of a good girl idealistic comes over here you know<br \/>\n10:59<br \/>\nknows that Dad wants to put her into powerful positions but not shopping<br \/>\n11:05<br \/>\nwomen I think it&#8217;s a lot more complicated than that you have to look at her early history<br \/>\n11:10<br \/>\num the favorite son of Robert Maxwell was originally Michael Maxwell he wasn&#8217;t a vegetative state after a car crash I<br \/>\n11:16<br \/>\nthink when he was 15 and that happened shortly after just a few days after Ghislaine was born so new her family<br \/>\n11:23<br \/>\nmembers 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<br \/>\n11:30<br \/>\nthings like that and then you know not a few years after she becomes the favorite Child so she goes from having this<br \/>\n11:36<br \/>\ncomplete lack of Parental attention to being sort of showered in it by Robert Maxwell and that obviously has is going<br \/>\n11:43<br \/>\nto have a psychological impact on someone and in addition there&#8217;s uh she was<br \/>\n11:48<br \/>\nbasically managed by her father from a very early age he managed her tried to manage her<br \/>\n11:54<br \/>\nromantic life he tried to manage what job she would have and she was very dependent on him so when he is dead in<br \/>\n12:00<br \/>\n1991 it makes sense that she would attach herself to someone with a lot of the similar characteristics<br \/>\n12:06<br \/>\nright so Dad didn&#8217;t know about Jeffrey Epstein wasn&#8217;t alive at that point well<br \/>\n12:11<br \/>\nthe allegation have been made by people that worked with Robert Maxwell um in the 80s that Jeffrey Epstein was<br \/>\n12:18<br \/>\nseen in his offices frequently in the United Kingdom and during that period of time it was known that Epstein was<br \/>\n12:24<br \/>\nactive in the United Kingdom he was allegedly being mentored by a British arms dealer named Douglas lease with a<br \/>\n12:29<br \/>\nBritish intelligence connections yeah first of all you wrote two volumes yeah<br \/>\n12:36<br \/>\na thousand Pages yeah I mean that is crazy amounts of work yeah I had my son<br \/>\n12:41<br \/>\nwas born in the middle of it so it was really crazy you were there for that I imagine when your son was born<br \/>\n12:47<br \/>\num so tell me a thousand pages and it&#8217;s not there&#8217;s no<br \/>\n12:53<br \/>\nfluff in it I mean it is it&#8217;s dense it&#8217;s very dense why is it nobody else is reporting on<br \/>\n13:00<br \/>\nthis um well I guess I could I don&#8217;t really know exactly why that would be but the<br \/>\n13:06<br \/>\nthe silence is very eerie about major aspects of the Epstein case<br \/>\n13:11<br \/>\num you know it ended up being a thousand Pages because I was as I was writing about Epstein a lot of the connections<br \/>\n13:16<br \/>\nthat came up I was I was just you know increasingly aware that a lot of people in the American public<br \/>\n13:22<br \/>\num you know a lot of the names I was coming across most people weren&#8217;t going to be familiar with correct you know um<br \/>\n13:28<br \/>\nBanks like the bank of credit and commerce International or BCCI the Scandal that involved or even things<br \/>\n13:33<br \/>\nlike Iran Contra people may have heard the name but don&#8217;t really know what it involved so I figured I was gonna have to go back and sort of explain that to<br \/>\n13:40<br \/>\npeople so that type of context is a volume one of the book and um and also<br \/>\n13:46<br \/>\nthe history of sexual blackmail and how it&#8217;s been sort of an undercurrent in some past political scandals in American<br \/>\n13:52<br \/>\nhistory and how in in these sorts of networks in which Epstein was inhabiting that type of practice and exploitation<br \/>\n13:58<br \/>\neven of minors for those purposes was actually um disturbingly common so Epstein starts<br \/>\n14:04<br \/>\nto look less and less of a you know he&#8217;s not an anomaly basically right um by the time you get through with<br \/>\n14:10<br \/>\nvolume one and so volume two is sort of my effort to um you know dig up as much as I could<br \/>\n14:16<br \/>\nyou know with stuff that&#8217;s publicly available really about Epstein and also<br \/>\n14:21<br \/>\nhis greatest benefactor Leslie Wexner and then also uh you know Colleen Maxwell okay so uh this is just<br \/>\n14:29<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s a lot to discuss there&#8217;s a lot to discuss here on just this because it&#8217;s this goes to the Deep state or you<br \/>\n14:37<br \/>\ncall it deep politics and it&#8217;s been going on for a long time<br \/>\n14:43<br \/>\nbut people I don&#8217;t think realize that you know the born identity you know<br \/>\n14:49<br \/>\nthose Jason Bourne movies that that is a reflection of some people&#8217;s real lives I<br \/>\n14:55<br \/>\nmean it&#8217;s a totally fictitious story but those things do go on and<br \/>\n15:01<br \/>\nand I tell you I have I have felt for a long time with the just with the<br \/>\n15:08<br \/>\nNSA listening to everybody&#8217;s phone calls if you&#8217;re important in Washington<br \/>\n15:14<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re going to do everything they can to manage you to manage you yeah so if<br \/>\n15:20<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re not rock solid in who you are and what right and wrong really is they got<br \/>\n15:25<br \/>\nyou yeah but even they don&#8217;t you know today I think we&#8217;ve moved away from the type of<br \/>\n15:31<br \/>\nmodel that Epstein used for sexual blackmail it&#8217;s an era of electronic blackmail and you don&#8217;t even have to do<br \/>\n15:37<br \/>\nanything wrong they can just plant it on your devices and play gotcha that way so it&#8217;s really an unprecedented situation<br \/>\n15:43<br \/>\nand a lot of these intelligence agencies as I know in the book you know really for decades have been totally out of<br \/>\n15:49<br \/>\ncontrol um and you know I really start off the book talking about how intelligence agencies and organized crime in the U.S<br \/>\n15:56<br \/>\ngot in bed together and really that symbiosis um you know it was originally Justified out of wartime necessity during World<br \/>\n16:02<br \/>\nWar II yeah but it never stopped right and it&#8217;s um you know business is<br \/>\n16:07<br \/>\nbusiness and some of these people in our own National Security State you know realize they could make a lot of money<br \/>\n16:12<br \/>\nworking with organized crime and really shielding them and getting in on the spoils I guess you could say<br \/>\n16:20<br \/>\ngood news and bad news here is the bad news first then we get right back into the podcast it looks like beef prices<br \/>\n16:26<br \/>\nare probably going to increase by another 20 percent early next year not<br \/>\n16:32<br \/>\ngreat nothing like a large increase in meat prices the largest in U.S history<br

Black Angus Friday<br \/>\n17:31<br \/>\nwith great steaks from good ranchers American Meat delivered<br \/>\n17:38<br \/>\nyou know we think of in my idealistic years of thinking about<br \/>\n17:45<br \/>\nAmerica I thought well we did some bad things yes and I&#8217;m not talking about slavery or anything else I&#8217;m talking<br \/>\n17:50<br \/>\nabout things we did in war but we had you know we really didn&#8217;t want to do those things<br \/>\n17:57<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not sure if any of that is true are the people involved in this stuff do<br \/>\n18:02<br \/>\nthey recognize at all that this is evil or is this just business well I think when you&#8217;re talking about an<br \/>\n18:08<br \/>\nintelligence agencies there&#8217;s hierarchies so there&#8217;s like people maybe low in different levels that may think<br \/>\n18:13<br \/>\nwhat they&#8217;re doing is right and advancing American interests but then there&#8217;s people at the top that aren&#8217;t necessarily like that and it&#8217;s about<br \/>\n18:19<br \/>\nadvancing their own interests if you look at a lot of controversial intelligence operations and decisions<br \/>\n18:24<br \/>\ncoups for example of the past a lot of it was justified as going against communist influence trying to keep<br \/>\n18:31<br \/>\nthat from growing but then some of these same actors like the Iran Contra types they ended up<br \/>\n18:37<br \/>\ngetting involved with the Chinese government just a few years later in the 1990s and some of this blossomed into<br \/>\n18:43<br \/>\nwhat 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<br \/>\n18:49<br \/>\nto anything except uh their desire to grow their own money and power are we ever going to find out who&#8217;s in<br \/>\n18:55<br \/>\nthe black book I don&#8217;t think so I think the FBI has been compromised from the very beginning uh in the book I talk a lot about J<br \/>\n19:02<br \/>\nEdgar Hoover he was blackmailed by the mob he realized the power blackmail had started using blackmail himself and you<br \/>\n19:10<br \/>\nknow increasingly the FBI and I think it&#8217;s very obvious to a lot of conservatives now comes in to cover things up and to you know go after uh<br \/>\n19:18<br \/>\nyou know figures that they you know don&#8217;t want to advance in their careers<br \/>\n19:23<br \/>\nor you know any sort of thing it&#8217;s very um it&#8217;s very complicated so what do<br \/>\n19:29<br \/>\nwe 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<br \/>\n19:35<br \/>\nincreasingly capable incapable of investigating itself especially when you&#8217;re looking at the FBI or something<br \/>\n19:41<br \/>\ncan we just go through some names like Alan Dershowitz and Bill Clinton and<br \/>\n19:46<br \/>\nDonald Trump what were they involved in uh so<br \/>\n19:54<br \/>\num so each of those cases is really different but if I&#8217;m looking at you know I guess the one that&#8217;s gotten the mo<br \/>\n19:59<br \/>\ngotten the most attention obviously are the former presidents right Trump and Clinton as far as I&#8217;m concerned the<br \/>\n20:05<br \/>\nClinton Epstein relationship is much more damaging than the Trump Epstein relationship but they&#8217;re you know are<br \/>\n20:11<br \/>\nobvious reasons for concern uh in both of them and I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s uh you<br \/>\n20:16<br \/>\nknow I in in trying to be objective you know I can&#8217;t absolve one or the other but are you saying are you saying<br \/>\n20:23<br \/>\nbecause one is more damage because people don&#8217;t understand it&#8217;s not just the horrific evil sex trafficking that<br \/>\n20:31<br \/>\nwas going on it&#8217;s also massive corruption and financial<br \/>\n20:36<br \/>\ncrimes and yeah and that&#8217;s particularly glaring with the Epstein Clinton relationship you have someone like Jeffrey Epstein that described himself<br \/>\n20:43<br \/>\nin the 80s as a financial Bounty Hunter he was hiding or finding looted money for powerful people that&#8217;s coming from<br \/>\n20:50<br \/>\nhim and he said this to numerous people there&#8217;s numerous source is attesting to this so obviously he was very<br \/>\n20:55<br \/>\ncomfortable with the offshore Financial system Shadow Banking and all of that and then in the late 80s in addition to<br \/>\n21:02<br \/>\nbecoming involved with Leslie Wexner\u2019s finances he is involved in orchestrating one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S<br \/>\n21:09<br \/>\nhistory the other person he worked with in that Stephen Hoffenberg you know is arrested and goes to jail for that in<br \/>\n21:15<br \/>\n1993 Epstein&#8217;s name is dropped from the case and he ends up at Clinton White House fundraisers<br \/>\n21:20<br \/>\nand one of those fundraisers is involved Hillary Clinton&#8217;s effort to alleged<br \/>\n21:26<br \/>\neffort to refurbish the White House and this makes a brief appearance and Vince Foster\u2019s quote unquote suicide note the<br \/>\n21:33<br \/>\nonly mention of Hillary Clinton in that suicide note is relating to her and khaki Hawker Smith redecorating and how<br \/>\n21:38<br \/>\nthere was nothing wrong with the finances there if you&#8217;re um you know listeners are familiar with<br \/>\n21:45<br \/>\nthe Vince Foster situation and how Hillary Clinton her office was involved<br \/>\n21:51<br \/>\nin finding the suicide not when there was nothing in the briefcase and all of that later it&#8217;s very interesting the only mention of her name would be in<br \/>\n21:57<br \/>\ntrying to absolve that particular fundraiser of you know any wrongdoing which might have been Foster&#8217;s<br \/>\n22:03<br \/>\nresponsibility and that&#8217;s Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s you know one of his first interactions with the white house there&#8217;s a picture of him shaking hands<br \/>\n22:09<br \/>\nwith Bill Clinton at that fundraiser donor reception and only UK media<br \/>\n22:15<br \/>\ncovered that when it came out last December I gotta tell you it&#8217;s pretty stunning I only see stuff that I kind of<br \/>\n22:22<br \/>\ntrust from UK now I read any if there&#8217;s any scandal going on in America I trust<br \/>\n22:28<br \/>\nthe Foreign Press more than I trust Harper well isn&#8217;t it stunning that there&#8217;s a picture of you know the claim has been for a long time that the<br \/>\n22:34<br \/>\nEpstein Clinton relationship only really began after Clinton left office and then you have a picture contradicting that<br \/>\n22:39<br \/>\nand it doesn&#8217;t get any coverage so how does there&#8217;s something else there obviously I was shocked to learn from<br \/>\n22:46<br \/>\nyou that Ron Brown I remember he was a guy who<br \/>\n22:51<br \/>\nwas on a plane going someplace Croatia yeah Croatia and it crashed and<br \/>\n22:56<br \/>\neverybody was like that&#8217;s another Clinton murder and I&#8217;ve never really bought into the I mean you wouldn&#8217;t have<br \/>\n23:02<br \/>\nto push me far but I&#8217;m a fact guy you know what I mean yeah show me the facts um<br \/>\n23:09<br \/>\nunravel to understand the Ron Brown situation because it&#8217;s tied up with that what I mentioned earlier China Gate<br \/>\n23:15<br \/>\nwhich was uh very difficult even for Congress to investigate the man at the center of it who was also the man that<br \/>\n23:21<br \/>\nJeffrey Epstein met with repeatedly at the White House named Mark Middleton he pleaded the fifth 28 times including uh<br \/>\n23:28<br \/>\nto the question is was he a foreign agent and pretty much every key figure they<br \/>\n23:33<br \/>\ntried to subpoena also pleaded the fifth and there was just um you know it was<br \/>\n23:39<br \/>\nvery difficult to investigate and even the George W Bush Administration the<br \/>\n23:45<br \/>\nfirst invocation of executive privilege of Bush&#8217;s president was among other things to block documents about Mark<br \/>\n23:51<br \/>\nMiddleton being made available to Congress and the 911 happens and everyone forgets wow it&#8217;s very<br \/>\n23:57<br \/>\namazing because Mark Middleton was not a high-ranking guy he was uh an aide to uh Mac McLarty he<br \/>\n24:04<br \/>\nwas chief of staff and then a senior advisor to Bill Clinton so why are you having the subsequent president stepping in for Mark Middleton<br \/>\n24:11<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s obviously a lot going on there because at the same time that Mark<br \/>\n24:16<br \/>\nMiddleton is involved in China Gate he&#8217;s meeting with Jeffrey Epstein and Jeffrey Epstein in that period of time is<br \/>\n24:21<br \/>\narranging for the relocation of Southern Air transport the Iran-Contra Airline from instead of going from Miami to<br \/>\n24:28<br \/>\nLatin America it starts going from Columbus Ohio where Leslie Wexner is based to Hong Kong<br \/>\n24:34<br \/>\nso are those events connected I make a case for that in the book and if true it&#8217;s very disconcerting because<br \/>\n24:41<br \/>\nbasically you know to summarize China Gate you have a mass transfer of sensitive U.S military technology being<br \/>\n24:48<br \/>\nmade to China it&#8217;s being paid for by the PLA or the Chinese military and Ron<br \/>\n24:54<br \/>\nBrown was at the center of that because the Commerce Department Commerce Department was signing off on you know<br \/>\n24:59<br \/>\nall sorts of so why was he then supposedly killed he uh shortly before<br \/>\n25:05<br \/>\nhe was unexpectedly asked to go on a trade mission to Croatia he agreed to cooperate with an investigation into<br \/>\n25:12<br \/>\nthis particular Network that was executing China Gate and the people on the U.S side that were facilitating<br \/>\n25:19<br \/>\nChina Gate were people that were connected to the networks of longtime Clinton benefactors the riyadi family<br \/>\n25:26<br \/>\nand Jackson Stevens who you know were sort of political King makers for Bill<br \/>\n25:31<br \/>\nClinton when he was governor of Arkansas it&#8217;s how much crazy how much of what we<br \/>\n25:38<br \/>\nthink we know is wrong or how big of a role is what we<br \/>\n25:45<br \/>\nthink we know to what really is happening well I think there&#8217;s been a major effort to control the media and<br \/>\n25:52<br \/>\nhow much information gets to the American public about all sorts of things if you look at the Epstein case you&#8217;re only allowed to talk about his<br \/>\n25:58<br \/>\nsex crimes from 2000 to 2006. don&#8217;t look at his financial crimes or any of the<br \/>\n26:04<br \/>\nthing he did before the year 2000 is you know pretty much how mainstream media handles the case and that&#8217;s pretty<br \/>\n26:10<br \/>\nyou know there&#8217;s a lot to find if you can go back farther so when you&#8217;re looking let&#8217;s just look at<br \/>\n26:15<br \/>\nEpstein for a second when you&#8217;re looking at his circle of influence he is<br \/>\n26:21<br \/>\nsomebody who&#8217;s kind of recruiting just getting people on tape doing horrible<br \/>\n26:27<br \/>\nthings or raising money so they&#8217;re in the pocket right is that kind of his role I think that&#8217;s part of it but at<br \/>\n26:34<br \/>\nthe same time you know he&#8217;s doing a lot of that he&#8217;s also involved in financial Crim you know Financial crimes pretty<br \/>\n26:40<br \/>\nmuch throughout his career I mean that&#8217;s the Common Thread from Epstein from the 70s right until his son know that if he<br \/>\n26:47<br \/>\nwas working as an operation that would kind of be over I think it was known I<br \/>\n26:52<br \/>\nmean even in January 2020 you have John McCain&#8217;s wife Cindy McCain saying we all knew what Epstein was doing right and<br \/>\n26:58<br \/>\nthis is the wife of a senator with no direct connection to the Epstein Scandal so that means top people in our Congress<br \/>\n27:05<br \/>\nand Senate knew what Epstein was up to and nothing was done and so does that I<br \/>\n27:11<br \/>\nmean is there a big body count around Epstein yeah I think yeah I think there is to an extent uh Mark Middleton<br \/>\n27:18<br \/>\nwho I just mentioned was found uh hung by the neck by an extension cord in May with a shotgun wound to the chest<br \/>\n27:25<br \/>\num and it was ruled suicide in Little Rock Arkansas and a local Court ruled uh<br \/>\n27:32<br \/>\npretty shortly thereafter that no video or you know photos of the scene could be publicly released<br \/>\n27:38<br \/>\nand this was only after you know Mark Middleton had been involved in China getting numerous other scandals but that<br \/>\n27:44<br \/>\nonly happened just a few months after the visitor logs of him meeting with Epstein was released last December and<br \/>\n27:50<br \/>\npublished by the UK&#8217;s Daily Mail so that&#8217;s one but that&#8217;s one recently<br \/>\n27:55<br \/>\nyou also have Jean-Luc Burnell who was a major uh facilitator of his uh sex<br \/>\n28:00<br \/>\ntrafficking activities particularly when it came to the modeling industry um Turned Up dead in his prison cell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-145930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=145930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145930\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=145930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=145930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=145930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
