  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein chronicles. When it comes to people that were in
• 0:07
  Epstein's orbit, one person that really sticks out is at
• 0:11
  whoo Brock and the fact that he was so close
• 0:13
  to Epstein has of course ignited theories about Epstein's ties
• 0:18
  to Israel. And look, rightfully, so, I'll never sit here
• 0:22
  and deny that Epstein had ties to Israel. He most
• 0:25
  certainly did. But does that make him a Masad agent?
• 0:28
  Of course it doesn't. It makes them an asset. That's
• 0:31
  what he's always been. And the people that try and
• 0:33
  you know, pigeonhole them and try and paint them as
• 0:36
  this special agent that was working for all these foreign services,
• 0:40
  as an actual member of their intelligence apparatus, they're missing
• 0:45
  the bigger picture. Epstein was a tool and he was
• 0:50
  utilized as such by many different players in the intelligence game.
• 0:55
  But one thing that you cannot deny, that there's no
• 0:58
  getting around, is his real relationship with Ehud Barrock. So
• 1:04
  today we have an article from the Eastern Herald and
• 1:08
  the headline Ehud's Apartment. What the Epstein files reveal about
• 1:13
  Israel's former Prime Minister. This article was authored by the newsroom.
• 1:20
  The staff had a name for it. When Elhud Barrock,
• 1:23
  a former Israeli Prime minister who had also served as
• 1:26
  his country's defense minister, state of Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan apartment.
• 1:30
  Epstein's personal assistance referred to it in emails as Elhud's apartment.
• 1:36
  A June twenty nineteen message from Barrock's wife arranging a
• 1:40
  stay time weeks before Epstein's arrest on federal sex trafficking charges,
• 1:45
  was among the three million pages of files the Justice
• 1:48
  Department released in January twenty twenty six. It was not
• 1:53
  among the most explosive things those pages contained. And look,
• 1:58
  this is an unexplained relationship. Nobody's really bared down into it.
• 2:03
  And how come Congress isn't calling at whood Barrock at
• 2:07
  the very least try I know he'd deny it and
• 2:11
  he wouldn't end up showing up, but at least show
• 2:13
  that you're interested. Because look, folks, just because I tell
• 2:17
  you the truth that this wasn't a Massad operation, that
• 2:20
  doesn't mean the Massad wasn't involved. That doesn't mean Israel
• 2:24
  wasn't involved. They were. They were running Epstein. They just
• 2:28
  didn't create them. Epstein was created right here in America,
• 2:34
  and he was protected right here in America. But that
• 2:37
  doesn't mean he didn't get his hands dirty other places.
• 2:43
  The files document a relationship that deepened long after Epstein's
• 2:46
  two thousand and eight guilty plea for a soliciting prostitution
• 2:49
  from a minor. The moment when many of his associates
• 2:53
  publicly at least, say they ended contact, Barack did not. Well, no,
• 2:57
  he didn't care. He didn't give one sing. Do you
• 3:01
  think Ehud Barack cares about any of those little girls
• 3:04
  from Palm Beach? Not for one second. He cared about
• 3:10
  what he could get from Epstein, how he can continue
• 3:13
  to build that relationship and profit from it. Doesn't matter
• 3:16
  that Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted child molester. That's not
• 3:22
  a sin for these people. The only sin for these people,
• 3:24
  meaning rich people, is being broke. That's the only sin.
• 3:29
  Among the material recordings made inside Epstein's townhouse, in which
• 3:33
  Barack can be heard describing Benjamin Netanyahu, his rival and
• 3:37
  Israel's current prime minister, as a criminal, net Yahoo is
• 3:41
  not in contact with Epstein and is not alleged to
• 3:44
  have any relationship with him. His office told Israeli media
• 3:48
  that Barock's private comments to a convicted sex offender were
• 3:51
  not something the Prime Minister intended to respond to. And
• 3:54
  you can say a whole lot about net Yahoo, and
• 3:57
  believe me, a lot of it's fitting. But he wasn't
• 4:01
  involved with Epstein that we know of now. Could have
• 4:04
  it happened behind the scenes or at some other point maybe,
• 4:07
  but we don't have the documentation to back that up.
• 4:09
  What we do know is that he was in contact
• 4:12
  with Ehwood Brock, and not only in contact with them,
• 4:16
  they were in a partnership. They had plenty of businesses going,
• 4:19
  plenty of irons in the fire, and plenty of money
• 4:22
  being made by the two of them. The shared investments
• 4:29
  are documented in more detail. In twenty fifteen, entities linked
• 4:33
  to Brock co invested with Epstein's Southern Trust Company in Carben,
• 4:37
  an Israeli startup then called Reportee that developed emergency response software.
• 4:42
  And we've talked about this at length, and there is
• 4:45
  no doubt that Robert Maxwell was alfull involved in some
• 4:48
  of the nonsense these guys had going on. Maybe not Carben,
• 4:52
  but certainly with the promise software. Now that's a whole
• 4:56
  last different conversation for a different time. But it's all
• 4:59
  in the same in vain. And when you're talking about Epstein,
• 5:03
  besides the diddling and the absolute horror of all of that,
• 5:07
  this is his wheelhouse. This is what he did. And
• 5:10
  all of these governments Israels included, knew exactly what he
• 5:14
  was and they didn't care. And that's because the man
• 5:17
  got results. Separately, Epstein provided funding to Barock's nonprofit ac
• 5:26
  Rayat Lumit. Sorry, I can't pronounce that responsibility in Hebrew,
• 5:30
  which Brock had established for a political comeback effort. In
• 5:34
  a twenty seventeen message to Ebstein, Barack described the funding
• 5:38
  as necessary for saving the Jewish state. Isn't it funny
• 5:41
  how there's always an existential crisis when somebody's trying to
• 5:44
  pill for some dough from you. Oh the world's gonna end.
• 5:47
  I need this, that or the other thing. The files
• 5:51
  also placed a member of brox inner circle inside Epstein's residence.
• 5:55
  Janny Korn, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who serves
• 6:00
  as a senior ad to Barck, appears in the documents
• 6:03
  not as a peripheral contact, but as someone who stayed
• 6:06
  in Epstein's Manhattan apartment and whose cancer treatment was partially
• 6:10
  funded through Epstein's financial arrangements. Yeah, at the behest of
• 6:15
  mister Brock. And guess what. All of that still doesn't
• 6:19
  make Jeffrey Epstein part of the macade, the ultimate free agent.
• 6:23
  And I think that the evidence backs that up. Korn's
• 6:30
  appearance in the files adds a layer. The former prime
• 6:33
  minister is not directly addressed. His closest personal associates were
• 6:37
  inside the same network. Well, that's true, but we have
• 6:41
  to remember that all these people roll together, and if
• 6:45
  there is a business opportunity, you better believe these jackals
• 6:48
  are going to show up any way to pill for
• 6:50
  a couple bucks, any way to get more money, anyway
• 6:53
  to avoid taxes, and any way to cheat the system.
• 6:56
  And I hate to tell you guys, that shit is universal.
• 7:00
  That's not specific to America or Israel. That's all these
• 7:05
  oligarchs everywhere across the world. Epstein also operated as a
• 7:10
  political connector for Barrock. In twenty eighteen, he arranged introductions
• 7:15
  between the former Prime minister and Steve Bannon, then a
• 7:18
  close adviser to Donald Trump, who was attempting to deepen
• 7:21
  his engagement in Israeli political circles. Separately, Correspondence in the
• 7:27
  files shows Epstein and Barrock discussing what documents describe as
• 7:31
  gigantic consultancy payments funneled through former British Prime Minister Tony
• 7:36
  Blair through arrangements Epstein was tracking, and that all leads
• 7:40
  right into the Mandelssohn and Andrew allegations of trade secrets
• 7:45
  and the rest of it. And in my opinion, we've
• 7:47
  only seen the very beginnings of that scandal. I think
• 7:50
  that's going to continue to blow up, and I think
• 7:53
  that it's going to put Andrew and Mandelsson in serious jeopardy.
• 7:58
  The Israeli government itself appears in the files in a
• 8:01
  specific role. Security personnel were installed at Epstein's Manhattan apartment,
• 8:06
  not by Epstein's own team, but by israel state authorities
• 8:09
  to protect Barak during his stays. That arrangement, reported by
• 8:13
  Al Jazeera in February of twenty twenty six, placed Israeli
• 8:17
  government resources inside a residence owned by a man who
• 8:20
  had already pleaded guilty to sex crimes against the minor.
• 8:24
  The Israeli government did not comment publicly on the reporting.
• 8:28
  I got bad news for you if you think any
• 8:30
  government gives a fuck, you're crazy. They do not. If
• 8:33
  the means justify the end, then so be it. Who
• 8:36
  cares how many people were harmed? Former Foreign Aid Minister
• 8:41
  Avigador Lieberman name also reservices in the release files in
• 8:45
  connection with an official Israeli government delegation di Ivory Coast
• 8:49
  in twenty fourteen. Lieberman has not been accused of any
• 8:53
  wrongdoing connection with Epstein. Barak has said he never witnessed
• 8:59
  or participated in any inappropriate conduct that he cut all
• 9:02
  ties with Epstein in twenty nineteen once the reinvestigation began.
• 9:08
  I am responsible for all my actions and decisions, he
• 9:11
  told Israeli media in February. And there is definitely room
• 9:15
  to ask if there wasn't room for a more in
• 9:18
  depth judgment on my part. He's not been accused of
• 9:21
  any sexual misconduct. Yeah, is that right? You might want
• 9:25
  to go and listen to what Virginia had to say.
• 9:28
  What remains legally contested is what else is in the documents.
• 9:32
  Federal Judge Emmett Sullivan ordered the Justice Department by July
• 9:35
  second to underdact names from eighty mL exchanges in the
• 9:39
  files and from a two thousand and seven draft federal
• 9:42
  indictment against Epstein. That indictment listed co conspirators, four or
• 9:47
  five names in that section remained blacked out. The DOJ
• 9:50
  missed its court order deadline, defended every redaction, and announced
• 9:55
  it would appeal. The appeal is pending. Net Yahoo's public
• 9:59
  assessment that barox documented entanglement with Epstein proves that there
• 10:03
  was no state intelligence relationship. Maybe correct. What the files
• 10:07
  have not settled for the courts or for the public
• 10:10
  is whose names are still behind black marks. And that's
• 10:14
  true too. Look, if you want to get to the
• 10:16
  bottom of it and you want to find out what's what,
• 10:18
  we need all the documentation, all of it, every last bit.
• 10:23
  But unfortunately that's what the DOJ is trying to avoid.
• 10:28
  So instead of having clarity, there'll be more confusion. That way,
• 10:31
  they can blend all the bullshit with a few kernels
• 10:34
  of truth, and as we all know, the best lies
• 10:38
  always have a little bit of truth sprinkled in. All
• 10:43
