A Gift From Mecca and a Seat at the Table: Epstein’s Documented Saudi Connections (Part 1) · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. One of the biggest misnomers when it comes
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to Jeffrey Epstein was that he was some sort of
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: super Israeli Mossad spy. Now, there's no doubt that Jeffrey
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Epstein had ties to the Mossad, to Israel, and to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Israel's industrial intelligence complex. That is undeniable. But the narrative
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that's pitched that Jeffrey Epstein is some sort of secret
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: agent for the Mossad, is completely and utterly wrong. Jeffrey
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Epstein was the quintessential me-first MF-er. There was no love
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of state, love of country, love of religion, love of anything,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: but money, power, and more. Look, the men of always,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: they always want more. And that more always comes on
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the back of the children of never. And that's really
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: what it came down to, Jeffrey Epstein was willing to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: play ball with anybody who had the dough. He didn't
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: care if you were Israeli. He didn't care if you
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: were Buddhist. He didn't care if you were a Martian.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: As long as you had something he wanted, as long
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: as you had some sort of inroad, well, you and Epstein,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you had business. So when people try and set it
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: up as Epstein being just part of the Mossad, it
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: really just shows you how little they know. and how
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: they're trying to exploit this story for their other bullshit.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But the truth is, Jeffrey Epstein was not a Mossad spy.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And in this article, we're going to talk about Jeffrey Epstein,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and just how deep his ties ran with a lot
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: of the countries in the Middle East. And breaking news,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we're not talking about Israel. Today's article is from the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Miami Herald, and the headline, Epstein Ties to Arab Royals,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: An Offer to Tudor Crown Prince and a Gift from
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Mecca This article was authored by Shirsoh Dasgupta, and I've
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: told you about the Saudi Arabian connection for years now.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And that's because I know somebody that's well-placed who was
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: breaking it down for me, telling me just how deep
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the ties ran between Jeffrey Epstein and a lot of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the royalty in the Middle East, but namely the Saudi
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: royal family. And I remember when I was talking about
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that originally, you had the, nah, he's a Mossad bro
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: people out there In his attempts to position himself at
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the confluence of money and power, Jeffrey Epstein cultivated myriad
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: relationships among the ruling elite of the Middle East. According
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to an extensive Miami Herald review of several million pages
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of documents recently released by the U.S. Department of Justice,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: This is something that is 100% a fact. Jeffrey Epstein
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was ensconced in the Arab world. They had one thing
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in common, right? Money. They love it. Have you ever
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: met a sheikh from the Arab world who didn't love
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: money and didn't love a pathway to get there? And
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: then you add to that perverse sexual dalliances and you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: got yourself the right group I mean, look what they
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: say about the Instagram models that go to places like Dubai.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Human porta-potties, etc., etc. So Jeffrey Epstein was a big
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: hit with these royals. I promise you that. From his
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach and New York mansions and his luxurious apartment
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in Paris, Epstein enjoyed a remarkable level of access to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: sensitive information like the outcome of political meetings and the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: itinerary of golf royals. Does a lone predator get that?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Just some sick degenerate from America? Does that sound likely
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to you? Because it doesn't sound likely to me. The
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: only way you get access to a place like the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: royal family in Saudi Arabia is if you're bringing something
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to the table. The disgraced financier the Herald found regularly
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: corresponded with members of the ruling classes of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and the United Arab Emirates. He invited them to his
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: properties and gave them business advice. even suggesting to Saudi
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: palace officials that he tutor the crown prince about the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: ways of Wall Street. Translation, how to steal money from people.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That's what he means, because Jeffrey Epstein certainly wasn't fucking
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: some kind of mover and shaker on Wall Street. He
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: asked that he be given a small place to live
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in while schooling the prince and demanded that the Saudis
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: give him sweeping oversight over the kingdom's fortunes. And that
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: was his M.O., Once he weaseled his way in, it
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: usually led to Epstein getting the keys to the kingdom,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and in this case, it would have been the actual kingdom.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: When Qatar was accused of supporting Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Epstein detailed to a Qatari royal a four-point campaign on
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: how the country could clean up its image. Epstein also
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: intervened on behalf of a Yemeni billionaire's son to help
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: him fight murder and rape allegations in Britain. Nor did
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: his time in the Palm Beach County Stockade stop Epstein,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: while serving an 18-month sentence after pleading guilty to two
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: prostitution charges in 2009. Prostitution charges. What a fucking joke.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: The bile that raises in the back of my throat
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: when I have to read that bullshit. Where he could
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: leave jail for 12 hours a day. Epstein helped an
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Emirati business lobby, the British government, to construct a megaport
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: outside London. Epstein hosted him in his Palm Beach mansion
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a few months after his release. Another person who doesn't
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: give a shit that Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted child
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: sex offender. Epstein also seemed to revel in being photographed
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: with the royals, grinning broadly as Crown Prince Mohammed bin
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Salman of Saudi Arabia stands side by side with him,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: his arm draped over the disgraced financier. In another photo
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee, Epstein appears to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: be garbed in traditional Arab black and gold robes and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: red and white headdress known as Shemaga. So do you
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: think that some ardent Israeli spy is going to be
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: hanging out with the royal family like this? Do you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: think the royals in the Middle East are going to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: accept it? We all know the truth. And the truth
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: is Jeffrey Epstein was a me first MF-er. And it's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: absolutely laughable that anybody out there thinks that he had
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: loyalty to anybody or anything besides himself. For his efforts,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein got lavish gifts from the Middle Eastern elite, including
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: sacred Islamic drapes from Mecca that he had shipped to Miami,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the records show. Boy, what an ardent Jew. Jeffrey Epstein.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: He's just, you know, such a Zionist. Can we stop
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: with that narrative, please? Somebody tell Daryl Cooper, Ian Carroll,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Candace Owens, and the rest of them to kindly shut
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the fuck up. Go find something else to talk about.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Go talk about Charlie Kirk. Go talk about anything but
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: this topic. Because you people have no idea what you're
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: talking about. And unfortunately, their bullshit narratives have infected way
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: too many people. Epstein later sent the gifts to his
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: private island in the Caribbean where he allegedly preyed upon
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: countless women and girls. Allegedly, huh? How many settlements were
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: paid out? Oh, that's right. I got your allegedly right here.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Many of the influential Arabs Epstein corresponded with held him
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in high regard, at times calling him Sheikh Jeffrey, cousin brother,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and Habibi, Arabic for loved one. But while they likely
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: believed their conversations with the financier were private, the Herald
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: found that Epstein had little qualms in repeating what he
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: had heard to others, even if the person was from
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: another country. Let me scream this from another rooftop and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: maybe people will listen. Jeffrey Epstein was an information broker.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: That's what he did. And to keep people interested, he'd
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: give them little nuggets. Oh, well, so-and-so from so-and-so told
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: me this, and then it would pan out. And then
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: he'd gain some credit with whoever he told the story to.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And then he'd use that later on when he was
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: negotiating his payout. While Epstein kept abreast of political and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: business developments in the Middle East, his sexual proclivities were
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: never far from his mind. She wanted some business, while
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I only wanted some pussiness. Sultan bin Salman, an Emirati businessman,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: wrote to him in a 2013 email after meeting an
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: unnamed woman in New York. Praise Allah, there are still
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: people like you, Epstein replied. Such a Mossad agent. Big
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. Mr. Mossad. And the wild part is, people
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: will just double down. Oh, well, that's not true. Who cares?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: That doesn't mean anything. But the truth is, it means everything.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Because it shows you just how willing Epstein was to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: hop into bed with anybody. If you were somebody of note,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: somebody of power, and Epstein thought he could exploit that
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: in some way, you better believe the exploitation was about
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to begin. Epstein was introduced to Rafat al-Sabah, a close
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: advisor of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia in 2016, by Norwegian diplomat, Terry Rod Larson.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: And boy, that name can... popping up doesn't it Terry
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Rod Larson another man who has Epstein amnesia and had
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: no idea just what kind of animal that Jeffrey Epstein
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: was can you believe these people actually think that's going
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to work and now with the ceasefire in Iran I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: expect people to get interested again in what's going on
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: with the Epstein files. Because this isn't going away. In fact,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: it's just becoming more of a time bomb. Correspondence between
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Epstein and Al Saba shows them meeting and inviting each
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: other to their homes even though Al Saba was aware
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: of Epstein's reputation. I'm sure you were opening so many
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: legs there, he wrote in a 2016 message to Epstein,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: who was in Florida at the time. I am sure
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you're opening so many legs there. Well, that's nice. El Saba.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Sounds like the hell of a guy. I wonder how
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: many Instagram models have visited Mr. El Saba. Around this time,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Prince Mohammed announced his vision, the 2030 project, to diversify
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the kingdom's economy and make it less reliant on oil.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Central to his plan was publicly selling shares of Saudi Aramco,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the state energy company. But a flurry of messages from
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Epstein to Al-Sabah and his assistant shows how Epstein found
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the idea to take Aramco public to be silly and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: warned that Wall Street viewed it as taking a cow
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to slaughter. Shareholders are the last thing the Kingdom of
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia needs, Epstein wrote in an August 15, 2016
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: email to them. Among Epstein's chief concerns about Aramco's stock
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: listing in New York was the passage of the U.S.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: federal law in 2016. that allows American citizens to sue
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: foreign countries for terrorist acts. The nightmare scenario, according to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Epstein's September 2016 email to Al-Sabah Said, a U.S. lawsuit
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: claiming reparations for 9-11 gets a $ 50 billion judgment and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: some crazy judge attaches the kingdom's shares in Aramco to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: fulfill it, essentially making the shares worthless. So if Jeffrey
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Epstein was such a gigantic Mossad agent, What's he doing
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: helping out Saudi Arabia and doing it on this level? Now,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the people that are infected with brain worms
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: will say something like, oh, it's all just a big
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Israeli plot and it was part of their grand scheme.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: But I don't buy that shit. So save it for
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: somebody else. Because the truth is right here in front
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: of you. And if people refuse to accept the truth
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: because they have, you know, personal bias about something, that's
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a them problem. Because around here, one plus one is
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: always going to equal two. Epstein advised the Saudis to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: take steps to protect their assets from American courts. Epstein
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: visited the Saudi capital of Riyadh in early November of 2016,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the released records suggest. A few days later, he wrote
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to al-Sabah's assistant, making a sweeping proposal that he be
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: made financial confidant of Prince Mohammed and become a major
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: contributor to the economic restructuring of the kingdom. He asked
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: for 30-minute bi-weekly meetings with the prince, and demanded he
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: be given the power to review all financial aspects of
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the country. That was Epstein's M.O. That's what he did.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And once he got in, he was in. Epstein also
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: claimed that the prince had asked that he be allowed
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to see details of legal structures, organizational charts, goals, and
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: initiatives of the Saudi Central Bank, the Royal Purse, and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the country's sovereign wealth fund, his emails to Al-Sabazade show.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: He offered to work for free the first year, but
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: was hoping the record show to be able to live
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: in a small palace during his stay in the country.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I am happy to represent KSA and their interests, he
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: wrote in a message to El Sabazade on November 9th, 2016.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Did he see the writing on the wall? Was Epstein
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: hip that it was coming? It's possible. I mean, it's very,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: very possible. And was he looking for that escape plan?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I know everybody says, oh, he's going to go to Israel.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I never bought that. Not for a second. I always
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: figured if somebody like Epstein was going to go on
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the run, which he never ended up doing, he'd go
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to a place in Saudi Arabia or someplace in the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Middle East where he's going to get the protection that
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: he's looking for. Aramco was listed in the stock exchange
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: three years later, but Riyadh, not New York. The records
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: do not show if Epstein's advice was considered by the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Saudi rulers. The records also do not indicate whether Saudis
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: passed on any information about their country's finances to them.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go out on a limb and say
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: they did. But it's not like here in America or
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: over in the UK. If the Crown Prince wants to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: pass information to somebody, then I guess he can do
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: whatever he wants, right? I mean, they are the ultimate
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: ruling force in the country of Saudi Arabia. So I'm
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: pretty sure that bin Salman can do whatever the hell
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: he wants. But four months after Epstein's trip to the kingdom,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a British Airways plane carrying a shipment from Riyadh landed
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: in Miami International Airport. The cargo comprised parts of the kiswah,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the sacred black silk, embroidered with the verses from the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Quran in gold, that's draped over the Kaaba in Mecca,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Islam's holiest site. It was a gift from the Saudis.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Its final destination, Little St. James. Jeffrey Epstein secluded 72-acre
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: private island in the Caribbean. Well, well, well, look at that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia gifting that, the Kiswah, to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: a Mossad spy? Yeah, never gonna happen. So please, can
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: we just do away with the whole Epstein was Mossad?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And how about we replace it with Epstein worked with Mossad?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: because that's true. Now, I know it doesn't fit with
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: all the other bullshit they like to pitch, but this
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: is the podcast where that shit goes to die. Epstein's staff,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the record show, described the sacred drapes as pieces from
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the Kaaba and classified them as artwork to ensure that
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: they passed easily through U.S. Customs in Miami. Other gifts
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: included traditional Bedouin tent and tables, cushions, and carpets that
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Epstein later set up, on his island. The Herald was
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: not able to contact al-Sabah. The Saudi government did not
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: provide answers to the specific questions sent by the Herald
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: about Epstein's trip to the kingdom, his relationship with al-Sabah,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: or how he demanded oversight of the country's financial system.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: A Saudi source familiar with the matter only said that
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the meetings with public officials are typically introductory and do
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: not imply any ongoing relationship And that exchanging gifts is
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: a common practice. Pretty sure it's not common practice to
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: give somebody the kiswah. Pretty sure that that's something that's
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: reserved for people that are highly respected and well-liked. Epstein
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: was responsible for serious crimes that caused significant harm to
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: many victims, he said. He was known to exaggerate and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: misrepresent his connections. Yeah? How about those emails? Did they over-exaggerate?
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Did they misrepresent connections? I don't think they did, so
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: they can try and deny all they want, but the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: contemporaneous record tells us a completely different story. Alright folks,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: we're going to wrap up episode one right here, and
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: in the next episode, we're going to pick up where
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: we left off and bring this to a conclusion. All
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the information that goes with this episode can be found
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: in the description box.
