Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein, Stolen Software And The Mossad (6/8/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
0:04
It seems like every time we turn around, even after
0:07
all these years, there is another accuser coming forward and
0:11
claiming that they were abused by Jeffrey Epstein. And in
0:15
today's article from the Daily Beast, that's exactly what we
0:18
have here again. Now this person is saying that she
0:22
used to be one of Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriends. And I
0:25
always have questions about people who were allegedly his girlfriend.
0:30
Now all of a sudden, they want to set themselves
0:32
up as if they're victims as well. I don't know
0:36
if I buy it. And remember, not every single allegation
0:39
is true. So for me, it's not believe all women.
0:43
It never has been. It's always believed the evidence. And
0:46
if the evidence is present, then of course you believe
0:49
those allegations. But I don't just believe every single allegation
0:53
that's put forward. And this is one of those allegations
0:56
where it's his ex What about the women who were
0:59
actually you know, traffic from Eastern Europe and other places
1:03
around the world, All of a sudden his ex girlfriends
1:06
are getting money too. Seems a little bit weird to me. No,
1:10
I would think that you'd want to make sure that
1:11
the money went to the people who actually, you know,
1:14
deserve the money. Probably a good idea. Today's article is
1:17
from the Daily Beast, and the headline Jeffrey Epstein's ex
1:21
says he boasted about being a Massad agent. Well, isn't
1:25
that convenient considering how much the Masad, Israel and Gaza
1:29
is in the news. I'm not shocked to hear that.
1:32
But when you really start breaking it all down and
1:35
you start looking at the actual evidence that's been provided,
1:38
there's no doubt that if Epstein was working for anyone,
1:42
he was working for the CIA. Now, sure, he might
1:46
have been doing some gigs for the Masad because he
1:48
was a free agent. He wasn't a CIA agent. He
1:52
was an asset. So that means that he had the
1:55
ability to bounce around and make dough however he could.
1:58
But at the end of the day, like a homing pigeon,
2:01
Epstein always came home to his handlers in the CIA.
2:04
Who those handlers might be. I have no idea, and
2:07
anybody out here telling you any different is bullshitting you.
2:10
They don't know. And furthermore, for as much as people
2:14
want to talk about Epstein's connections to Israel and the Masad.
2:18
Seems like those very same people want to leave out
2:20
his connections to Saudi Arabia and NBS and people who
2:24
are omitting things when they're talking about this situation. They're
2:27
doing it for a reason. They're doing it because they're
2:30
trying to craft a narrative as opposed to just looking
2:33
for justice and going scorched earth. They're looking to craft
2:36
narratives here. Fuck that, we're looking to go Hiroshima, folks,
2:41
Okay Nagasaki, absolute scorched earth. Nobody who was involved left standing.
2:46
You can't pick and choose who you're going to eviscerate
2:48
in this story. It's either everyone or no one. This
2:52
article was authored by Kate Bricklett. A former girlfriend and
2:56
victim of Jeffrey Epstein, is suing the late sex traffickers estate,
3:00
claiming he boasted of being a massad agent before a
3:02
raping her at his New York mansion. The California woman,
3:06
referred to as Jane Doe two hundred in a new lawsuit,
3:09
says she met Epstein through a friend in Los Angeles
3:11
in two thousand. What began as a platonic relationship turned
3:16
romantic before Epstein sexually assaulted her a year later. During
3:20
their time together, Doe says Epstein and his accomplice Gallaine
3:23
Maxwell hinted he was an agent for MASAD, the Israeli
3:26
intelligence agency, just like Maxwell's father Robert. For her part,
3:30
Glayn allegedly worn Doe that it was not good to
3:33
be Epstein's enemy. Look, Epstein's had a lot of stuff.
3:36
Epstein talked a whole bunch of garbage. Did he work
3:40
for the Masad in some capacity, I'm guessing he did,
3:44
just like he worked for the CIA and anyone else
3:46
who was willing to pony up some doe. But none
3:49
of those organizations are going to be able to get
3:51
him off when it comes to criminal charges. Here in
3:53
the United States, every single time Epstein was around, anyone
3:57
who went to prison. Everybody else went to prison, and
4:00
on how he skated. Now, for those of you who
4:02
might not be initiated in the world of organized crime,
4:06
that usually means you're a rat. You don't get nailed
4:09
on huge charges and then you're out the next day.
4:12
That's not how this works, unless, of course, you give
4:16
them that three to zero two and proffer up a statement,
4:19
and Epstein certainly was that. This dude has been working
4:22
with the FED since at least the Baron Stearns days.
4:25
I don't care what the OIG report says. Unlike most people,
4:28
I've actually read the OIG reports, both of them, and
4:32
actually shared them here on the podcast with all of you,
4:35
so we all know the deal and we all know
4:37
that the whole narratives just complete bs. It became obvious
4:41
that Epstein was not only extremely wealthy, but also suspiciously
4:45
well connected, more so than all the other powerful men
4:48
whom he associated, adds the suit filed in Manhattan Federal
4:52
Court on Monday. Despite being in a committed relationship, often
4:56
spending nearly around the clock time together, what Epstein did
4:59
for work was not clear. Okay, what does that even mean.
5:03
There's a lot of people out there that are secretive
5:05
about their job, a lot of people out there that
5:07
aren't going to let somebody that they're dating or just
5:10
having relations with know what they're doing. People are private,
5:14
So I don't take too much out of that. And
5:16
does that make him a massad agent? Come on? Epstein,
5:19
who bragged of being on the Trilateral Commission and Council
5:23
on Foreign Relations would later invite Doe to a networking
5:26
event attended by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brynn.
5:30
The suit says, you know, the people that say that
5:32
don't know who Epstein was, all of these rich scumbags
5:35
that were at his house, going to these events, hanging
5:38
out with them, but they have no idea who Jeffrey
5:40
Epstein was. That's what they'll tell you. Question is do
5:44
you believe them? And as far as the Council on
5:46
Foreign Relations goes, there's no doubt that Jeffrey Epstein was
5:49
part of that, and there's no doubt that he gave
5:51
them a great deal of money. We've already covered that
5:54
time and time again. He also name dropped world political figures,
5:59
billionaire business and notorious international criminals. The complaint states. While
6:04
he was gentle and kind to Doe most of the time,
6:07
Doe did observe Epstein's explosive, uncontrollable anger toward others. The
6:11
lawsuit says. Doe's complaint provides another window into Epstein's world
6:16
and is one of several pending lawsuits related to the
6:19
trafficker's crimes after his twenty nineteen death. Earlier this month,
6:23
one victim sued renowned psychiatrist Henry Jareki for allegedly exploiting
6:28
her and other young women Epstein had also sexually abused.
6:32
And what's funny about that, Henry Jereki cat his son
6:36
is actually the director of that Robert Durst documentary called
6:40
The Jinx. Well, it's mister Jereki's son who is the
6:44
director of that. Maybe he could do a documentary on
6:47
his sick ass dad. Maybe he could do a documentary
6:50
on the fact that his pops was allegedly diddling girls
6:52
that he should have been helping. Brad Edwards, an attorney
6:56
for Doe, told The Dealy Beast, in addition to Epstein's
6:59
rotation of its victims, there was typically one person who
7:02
we may believe was his girlfriend, usually completely in the
7:05
dark about his criminal abuse. And look, there's a lot
7:08
to be said of that. There have been a lot
7:09
of women that have been in Epstein's orbit that thought
7:12
they were his girlfriend. And I've told you time and
7:15
time again that that wasn't the case. This man didn't
7:18
have girlfriends. Jane do two hundred was that girlfriend during
7:22
this period of time, which means she learned more information
7:25
than most other victims, Edwards added in the end, Epstein
7:29
violently raped her in a manner far worse than his
7:31
usual modus operendi. This victim has lived in a particular
7:36
fear for a long time, and she deserves justice. Look,
7:39
if her allegations are true, there's no doubt she deserves justice. Unfortunately,
7:44
we all know justice is in short supply. Those lawsuit
7:48
names Darren Endyke and Richard Kahan, the co executors of
7:51
Epstein's estate, as defendants and alleges battery and intentional infliction
7:56
of emotional distress. The Daily Beast has contacted a lawyer
8:00
for Epstein's estate for a comment. Yeah, good luck with that.
8:03
While the accuser believed she was in a committed, monogamous
8:06
relationship with Epstein until he forcibly raped her at his
8:10
Manhattan mansion, he was also abusing underage girls in Florida
8:13
and elsewhere. Okay, look, I don't really know about this one, folks. Honestly,
8:19
I'm not too sure. I mean, they're in a committed relationship,
8:22
then all of a sudden, now she's talking about how
8:24
she was abused. My question is, is this person facing
8:28
some sort of allegation of her own and she's trying
8:30
to use this as a cover story. Now that's just speculation.
8:33
I don't know this is a Jane Doe. I'm not
8:36
even sure who this person is at this point. But
8:38
this certainly isn't the case of some little girl being groomed,
8:41
that's for damn sure. As part of his long running
8:44
trafficking scheme, Epstein and his associates lured girls and young
8:48
women to his luxurious homes with promises of career or
8:51
financial help, then forced them into sexualized massages. When Dough
8:56
met Epstein, he inquired about her passions and made it
8:59
clear that he was a well connected person and offered
9:01
to introducer to world renowned scientists and other professionals in
9:05
the fields in which he was interested. Epstein even introduced
9:09
though to his brother, mother and friends. There are dates included,
9:13
visits to auction houses and antique shops, and one helicopter
9:16
trip to Princeton University to attend a lecture by Epstein's friend,
9:20
Professor Martin nowak Oh, isn't that nice little trip to Princeton? Huh?
9:25
And honestly, does this sound like somebody who is being abused?
9:28
Sounds like somebody who was in an actual relationship. Doesn't
9:31
sound mysterious to me. Met his mom, met his brother,
9:35
go into this Princeton thing. So I won't say that
9:39
Epstein didn't abuse this woman. I don't know, but this
9:42
isn't the usual type of situation that we're discussing, and
9:45
this isn't the usual scenario of a young girl being groomed.
9:49
We're talking about somebody who is in a consensual relationship
9:53
with Jeffrey Epstein, who was an absolute monster. So my
9:56
question again is is this person here facing some sort
10:00
of allegation against them and they're trying to use this
10:02
as cover Back then, Epstein claimed he had only had
10:06
sex with five women in his entire life, including British
10:09
socialite Maxwell, his former girlfriend and now convicted accomplice, who
10:14
was around frequently as Epstein's friend. While Epstein's strategy with
10:18
Doe was different, the complaint says he infiltrated her life
10:21
in a unique and arguably more disturbing way. Epstein, over
10:25
the course of months, caused Dodo believe they were in
10:27
a committed relationship, that she was the one and only
10:30
real girlfriend he had ever had, and that he had
10:33
cared for. The legal filing states, once he knew Doe
10:36
felt the same way, he forcibly raped her. So I
10:39
don't understand if they were in this relationship, and they
10:42
were already having relations why would you just up and
10:45
rape her after they state their feelings for each other. Again,
10:49
I'm not saying this is wrong or that she's making
10:51
this up, because Jeffrey Epstein was a fucking animal, and
10:54
it's very possible, but it just doesn't smell if you
10:58
will the same way the other recipe smells, And that
11:01
could be because there's some different ingredients here, or on
11:04
the flip side, it could be a completely different dish.
11:08
The incident occurred in the fall of two thousand and one,
11:10
when Epstein was getting a traditional massage at his Upper
11:14
east Side mansion. The messuse began kissing Epstein and Doe
11:17
became upset. Before Doe could leave, the complaint says he
11:21
physically forced her face down on the massage table and
11:24
violently vaginally penetrated her. Given the violence behind the rape,
11:28
the lawsuit says Doe knew in that moment that she
11:31
had to escape. She feared Epstein would retaliate if she
11:35
reported him to police, so she fled to California and
11:37
broke up with him. Doe genuinely believed that any reporting
11:41
of the rape by what she believed to be a
11:43
massad agent with some of the most unique connections in
11:46
the world would result in significant bodily harm or death
11:49
to her. The filing says, still, Epstein tried to contact
11:52
Doe frequently. In two thousand and three, Epstein offered her
11:55
a once in a lifetime opportunity to network with influential people,
12:00
and she accepted the invitation because she was facing immigration issues. Dough,
12:05
while hesitant to be in Epstein's orbit, again, attended the
12:08
networking event purely for work purposes. The complaint says she
12:12
met Google's page and Brynn and Epstein told her several
12:15
of the people at the event, which spend time at
12:17
his new Mexico ranch. Afterwards. She joined them there, but
12:20
avoided Epstein so that he couldn't assault her again. Wait
12:23
a minute, I thought nobody went to this ranch. Nobody's
12:26
ever been there, certainly not Bill Clinton and Sergey Brynn
12:29
and Larry Paigeaw, they don't even know who Jeffrey Epstein is,
12:32
right right. Dough frequently continued to be contacted by Epstein,
12:37
the suit says, and despite her belief that Epstein could
12:40
harmor kill herself if he did not get his way,
12:43
given the immense harmony inflicted on her, she refused to
12:46
ever see him again. All right, folks, Well another allegation,
12:50
and I'll tell you it doesn't smell like the other ones,
12:52
but that doesn't mean it's not true. But this certainly
12:55
isn't the schoolgirl kind of story that we've been talking about.
12:58
You know, a little girl from Palm Beach High School
13:01
getting groomed and enticed over to Epstein's house. This isn't that.
13:05
This is somebody who entered into a consensual relationship with
13:08
Epstein at some point and then from there, she says,
13:11
it turned violent in south and now because of that
13:14
alleged abuse, she's looking to sue the estate and she's
13:18
looking to get that bag. So, like usual, we'll keep
13:20
an eye on this one and we'll see where it
13:22
all goes, and we'll see what kind of information pops up.
13:25
And when I can get my hands on the core documents,
13:27
we'll definitely get those added to the catalog as well.
13:30
But until then, that's gonna do it for this one.
13:32
All of the information that goes with this episode can
13:35
be found in the description box. What's up everyone, and
13:39
Welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Virginia Roberts had a
13:44
post on Twitter where she was asking if anyone else
13:47
believed that Jeffrey Epstein was a spy and he was
13:51
working for the MACADE or the CIA, And I think
13:55
this is probably the question I get the most when
13:58
it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and how he was able
14:01
to do what he was able to do, And I
14:03
think the answer is somewhere in the middle. I don't
14:07
think that Jeffrey Epstein was your traditional spy, if you will,
14:11
but I think he was an asset that was being
14:13
run by multiple agencies and was there some overlap with
14:17
the CIA and the Masad, Oh, I'm sure there was.
14:21
But there's a lot of people out there that act
14:23
like Jeffrey Epstein was a legit Masad spy, like he
14:27
went to spy school in Israel and the rest of it,
14:31
and that's just not the case. So for me, there's
14:35
zero doubt that this guy was an asset, but a
14:38
full blown spy in the traditional sense of the word,
14:41
I don't think so. Look, these intelligence agencies, they recognize
14:46
tools that they can use to perpetrate whatever sort of
14:50
scheme or plot that they have. But the second that
14:52
the asset's usefulness has worn out, or if the asset
14:57
is deemed to be somebody that might expose the the
15:00
rest of the operation, that asset will get burned. And
15:03
considering Jeffrey Epstein's fate, I don't think it's that big
15:06
of a leap to say that that's what happened here. Now.
15:09
I'm not saying that they killed him, per se, But
15:12
what message did Tartaglioni give Jeffrey Epstein in that cell
15:17
when they were in that cell together and Tartaglioni allegedly
15:21
assaulted him. I have always believed that that assault was
15:24
a message being passed to Epstein by somebody who that
15:28
somebody is. I won't sit here and make pretend I know.
15:31
But considering all of the coincidences surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death,
15:36
considering the fact that all this information was about to
15:40
come spilling out, you would have to think that there's
15:42
a lot of powerful people out there that aren't too
15:45
comfortable or weren't too comfortable with that information about to
15:49
make its way into the public. So I've always believed
15:53
that there's way more to the story with Nicholas Tartaglioni
15:57
than they've ever let on, and we only got a
16:00
little portion of that story. And even in the OIG
16:03
report that some people point to as if it's some
16:06
kind of bible or something, we got barely a mention
16:09
of what happened with Tartaglioni. And then we hear about
16:12
the lame ass investigation that they kicked off in the
16:16
aftermath of it, basically just asking him, did you do this?
16:20
He says no, and then they move on. Then you
16:22
move into the area where the tape has been destroyed
16:25
or it's been lost, you know, all of it. And
16:28
for me, none of the explanations that I've been given
16:31
by the powers that be have been good enough explanations,
16:35
and in fact, they only open up more questions. So
16:39
moving on to the article from Newsweek and the headline
16:43
Prince Andrew's accuser shares Jeffrey Epstein's spy theory. This article
16:49
was authored by Jack Royston. Prince Andrew's accuser posted a
16:53
link to a Reddit post suggesting Jeffrey Epstein was a
16:57
masad or Cia spy. Virginia, Roberts sued the Royal for
17:02
sexual assault in London, New York and the US Virgin Islands.
17:07
When they settled out of court in twenty twenty two
17:10
for an undisclosed sum, Andrew acknowledged that she was an
17:13
Epstein sex trafficking victim. The Prince denied the allegations against them.
17:19
Imagine trying to get off with that nonsense. Yeah, I'm
17:22
going to deny these allegations. But let me give you
17:24
this bag real quick. Conspiracy theorists, boy, that's a whot,
17:28
have long speculated about whether Epstein's wide ranging sexual abuse
17:33
was part of an elaborate campaign to acquire compromising material
17:37
about high profile figures and politicians on behalf of intelligence agencies.
17:43
Newsweek has no definitive evidence to back up this account
17:46
and no official confirmation, but it's not entirely without foundation. Look,
17:52
I don't think there's any doubt that good old Jeffrey
17:54
Epstein was being run as an asset. Now who is
17:58
handler was, who was in charge of it all? I
18:01
have no idea, And all the people out here that
18:03
pump the bs like they know, well, I'd like to
18:06
see the proof. Remember, big claims require big proof. And
18:11
when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and people who say
18:13
that they have proof, who say that they have all
18:16
this evidence, well, I'm a trust but verify kind of guy.
18:19
At this point, if you get my drift, considering all
18:22
the grifters and snake oil salesmen and bullshit artists that
18:26
have made their way through this whole thing, I think
18:29
that at this point it's either put up or shut
18:31
up for me. But as far as the overall question,
18:34
was he working for spy agencies? Was he an asset?
18:38
I think the answer is definitively yes. The part that
18:41
still murky is who he was working for in the
18:45
first place, and I have my suspicions that it wasn't
18:48
just one intelligence agency. Now, I think that Epstein was
18:53
a tool of the United States government at least as
18:56
far as being used as a snitch. And Folks, you
18:59
don't avoid going to prison in all of the scandals
19:02
that Jeffrey Epstein was involved in throughout all of these
19:05
years if you're not working with the government, he was
19:09
making the same moves like Whitey Bulger. The question is
19:13
who was Jeffrey Epstein's handler, And I think it's a
19:16
long shot of long shots that were ever gonna find
19:19
out who that handler was. Roberts posted a link on
19:22
Twitter to a Reddit post that asked, does anyone else
19:26
here believe Epstein in all likelihood was a masad CIA
19:30
linked intelligence agent that was responsible for helping run a
19:34
blackmail honeypot ring to entrap elite oligarchs? And yeah, look,
19:38
there's a lot to that. There's no doubt that Epstein
19:41
dealt in information, and when you get to the level
19:44
that these people are at, information is worth more than
19:47
even money. But I think it even went deeper than that.
19:50
Remember that Jeffrey Epstein was always hanging out with these
19:53
scientists too. Ask yourself why what sort of projects were
19:57
these scientists working on? And were any of those projects
20:01
top secret? And if they were, what was Epstein doing
20:05
with the information that he was getting from these scientists.
20:08
That's a question that is very rarely asked. But for me,
20:12
when I went to New Mexico and I went down
20:15
to the Santa Fe Institute, there was way too many
20:18
questions that needed to be answered, And still to this day,
20:22
those questions remain unanswered, and a lot of it has
20:26
to do with Epstein and his dalliances with the scientific community.
20:31
Based off all of Epstein's known dubious activities, the post
20:34
added across the vast wealth obvious connections to the Israeli Massad.
20:39
Glenn Maxwell's dad was Robert Maxwell, a powerful British oligarch
20:44
with Massad ties. And Epstein's suspicious murder that's been covered
20:48
up as a suicide, I think a strong argument could
20:51
be made Epstein was indeed an intelligence agent who helped
20:55
run a black mail honeypot operation that most likely is
20:58
still running to this day. Well in some form. Well
21:02
you think they just gave up when their buddy Jeffrey
21:05
Epstein ended up sleeping with the fishes. Zero chance. Look,
21:09
when these guys latch onto a scheme that works, the
21:12
scheme is going to keep going on. The players are
21:15
going to change, But the scheme itself, well it was effective,
21:19
then it'll be effective now. And please make no mistake,
21:22
Jeffrey Epstein is just a tip of the iceberg. It's
21:26
important to state that there is no on the record
21:29
confirmation from the US or any other intelligence that Jeffrey
21:33
Epstein was a spy. In addition, his cause of death
21:37
in twenty nineteen was recorded by suicide by hanging by
21:41
the New York City's Medical Examiner's Office. Well, that clears
21:44
it up for me, because the New York Medical Examiner's
21:48
Office says that it was a suicide. Time to pack
21:51
it up, folks, Nothing left to see here. Let's just
21:53
go ahead and move on with our lives and our business.
21:56
Everything that happened in that jail cell on the up
21:58
and up, everything that happened with Epstein from the time
22:01
of his incarceration until the time of his death. If
22:04
you think anything besides what was in that OIG report,
22:08
you're a conspiracy theorist. That's basically what the legacy media
22:13
would have people believe. But the reality is this, the
22:16
legacy media, like usual, is late to the party, and
22:20
like usual, they have no idea what they're talking about
22:24
when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. However, this is not
22:28
the first time it has been suggested that the New
22:31
York financier financier is it you mean, pedophile, right, mister
22:35
Royston may have had links to the intelligence community. The
22:38
twenty nineteen book Epstein Dead Men Tell No Tales by
22:43
Dylan Howard, James Robertson and Melissa Cronnin quotes Aery Ben Minosh,
22:48
said to be an Israeli intelligence agent and handler of
22:51
Robert Maxwell. In the late nineteen eighties, Epstein dated British
22:56
newspaper magnate Maxwell's daughter, Glen Maxwell, if you want to
23:00
call it that, who is serving twenty years in jail,
23:03
Still not long enough and for grooming girls for Epstein
23:07
to abuse. Mister Royston also left out the little part
23:10
here where Maxwell actually participated in the abuse herself. Kind
23:15
of an important part, no, And as for dating Glenne Maxwell,
23:19
it's a pretty damn good cover story, right, ben Manash said,
23:24
Maxwell introduced him to us and he wanted us to
23:27
accept them as part of our group. These guys were
23:30
seen as agents, He added, they weren't really competent to
23:33
do very much, and they found a niche for themselves
23:36
blackmailing American and other political figures. In conclusion, Ben Manash
23:42
said to the authors, mister Epstein was a simple idiot
23:45
who was going around providing girls to all kinds of
23:48
politicians in the United States. See, f them around is
23:52
not a crime. It could be embarrassing, but it's not
23:55
a crime. But f a fourteen year old girl, that's
23:59
a crime. And he was taking photos of politicians doing
24:02
that with fourteen year old girls. If you want to
24:04
get it straight, ben Manash added, they Epstein and Maxwell
24:08
would just blackmail people. They would just blackmail people like that.
24:12
And look, there is a lot of truth in everything
24:15
that was said by mister ben Manash, And as far
24:19
as the authors of that book go, Melissa Cronnin certainly
24:22
knows what she's talking about. But you hear from mister
24:25
ben Manash here that Epstein was an idiot. He certainly
24:28
wasn't a functioning MASSAD agent or a CIA agent, but
24:32
an asset, a useful idiot, one hundred percent. Those are
24:36
the favorite kind of tools of the CIA, of the Masad.
24:41
Vicky Ward, who's reporting for Vanity Fair played a role
24:45
in the Epstein scandal, wrote in a piece for Rolling
24:48
Stone Magazine that the notorious financier pedophile told exaggerated stories
24:53
of his time and intelligence circles, but some of those
24:56
stories may have been at least partially true. Ward quoted
25:01
a former business partner of Epstein, Stephen Hoffenberg, whom the
25:05
disgraced financier testified against during a criminal prosecution. Hoffenberg said
25:10
that Epstein had talked about links to the intelligence community.
25:14
And when I said he was a snitch for the government,
25:16
this is what I mean. He took the stand and
25:20
signed a three zero two, signed a profer agreement with
25:22
the government to put Steve Hoffenberg behind bars. Meanwhile, it
25:27
was Epstein who was the mastermind of that whole last scheme.
25:31
So what you think Once the government had Epstein on paper,
25:34
that was the end of it. They were like, Ah,
25:36
you know what, this guy isn't going to be useful anymore.
25:38
Let's just forget about him. Zero chance. They're not going
25:41
to waste an asset like that until it's time to
25:44
waste an asset like that. These related to national security
25:48
issues involving blackmail, influence, trading, trading information at a level
25:53
that is very serious and dangerous. Ultimately, short of official confirmation,
25:58
it is impossible to know with any certainty whether Epstein
26:02
had links to intelligence agencies or not, and if so,
26:06
how strong those links are. Either way, the idea is
26:09
not concocted out of thin air, as many conspiracy theories are. Well,
26:14
that's because this is not a conspiracy theory in my opinion,
26:18
this is a fact. We just have to hammer out
26:21
all the details, right I can't give you particulars because
26:24
I don't know. But what I can tell you is
26:26
the aberrant behavior that was shown by Epstein and the
26:30
favorable punishment that was handed down to Epstein, and the
26:34
ability of Epstein to continue to do what he did
26:37
for all those years. That is not normal, and most
26:40
people aren't afforded the space to operate like Jeffrey Epstein was.
26:45
So do I think that Jeffrey Epstein was a Masad spy?
26:48
Not in the traditional sense. I do think that him
26:51
and Maxwell were both assets and they were being run
26:55
by multiple agencies. But like most things, when it comes
26:58
to Jeffrey Epstein, to wonder what's real and what's not,
27:03
and in my opinion, that's always been by design. All Right, folks,
27:08

the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to another
27:27
episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this series, we're going
27:31
to take a closer look at how the promised software
27:34
scandal of the eighties inter sex and connects with what
27:38
we're seeing today with Jeffrey Epstein. At first glance, these
27:42
may seem like two very different stories, one about a
27:45
stolen computer program used by prosecutors, the other about a
27:49
convicted sex offender with ties to some of the most
27:52
powerful people in the world. But when you examine the details,
27:56
some of the same patterns begin to emerge. Was more
28:01
than just a piece of software. It became the center
28:04
of a major controversy involving Department of Justice allegations of
28:08
fraud and eventually claims that it had been modified and
28:11
repurposed by intelligence services to spy on governments and financial
28:16
systems around the globe. And one of the central figures
28:19
allegedly was none other than Robert Maxwell himself, the media
28:23
tycoon and father of Glene Maxwell. His alleged role as
28:27
distributor of the compromise software has raised questions that remain
28:31
unresolved to this day. Fast forward to the Epstein scandal
28:35
and we see a similar set of questions, powerful institutions
28:39
looking the other way, intelligence ties being whispered about but
28:42
never fully confirmed, and a cover up narrative that seems
28:46
designed to protect the very people who benefited from the operation.
28:51
In both cases, we find the same hallmarks of intelligence
28:54
tradecraft fronts, leverage, secrecy, and the sudden silencing of individuals
28:59
who might have revealed too much. So in this series
29:03
we're going to explore those parallels. We'll look at how
29:05
PROMISE and Epstein's share structural similarities in the way power
29:09
is maintained and how accountability is avoided, and by the end,
29:14
hopefully you may see that these aren't isolated scandals at all,
29:18
but part of a recurring pattern and how intelligence networks
29:22
operate across the decades. The story begins with PROMISE, short
29:27
for Prosecutors Management Information System. Developed in the nineteen seventies
29:32
by Washington, DC based company called Inslaw Incorporated. Promise was
29:37
designed to help prosecutors track criminal cases across complex dockets.
29:42
At its core, the program was a case management tool
29:45
that could link seemingly unrelated cases and defendants of powerful
29:49
innovation for the time. By the early eighties, the US
29:53
Department of Justice expressed strong interest and PROMISE Inslaw, run
29:57
by former prosecutor Bill Hamilton, signed a co contract to
30:00
install the software in US attorney's offices nationwide. But almost
30:05
from the start, tensions arose between ins Law and the
30:08
DOJ over payments, modifications, and ownership rights. Hamilton insisted that
30:15
his company had developed an enhanced version of Promise with
30:18
private funds, which meant the government would need to license
30:22
it properly. The Justice Department, however, argued that it had
30:26
rights to the software under federal contracts. This dispute escalated
30:30
into a bitter feud that would spill into the courts
30:33
and into congressional investigations. By the mid nineteen eighties, ins
30:39
Law accused the DOJ of effectively stealing its software. A
30:42
bankruptcy court judge later found that officials had engaged in trickery, fraud,
30:47
and deceit in dealing with ins Law. The court's language
30:52
was unusually strong, painting a picture of a government agency
30:55
in muscling a small contractor out of its intellectual property.
30:59
But the Romis scandal didn't stop at contract law. Soon
31:03
allegations emerged that the stolen software had been modified by
31:07
US intelligence agencies to include secret backdoors. These alleged backdoors
31:12
allowed American spy services to monitor foreign governments, banks, and
31:16
corporations who thought that they were merely buying sophisticated case
31:21
tracking tools. Stories spread that Promise had been sold or
31:25
handed over to allies and adversaries alike, often without their
31:29
knowledge of its hidden features. Israel was frequently mentioned in
31:33
this context, some alleging that Israeli intelligence had distributed alter
31:38
versions of Promise worldwide. The software, according to these accounts,
31:42
became a trojan horse and global espionage. Adding to the
31:46
intrigue were reports that versions of Promise had been installed
31:50
in financial institutions. If true, this would have allowed intelligence
31:54
services to track money flows across borders, offering insights into
31:58
everything from arms dealers the covert funding networks. For critics,
32:03
this was less a business dispute than a global surveillance conspiracy.
32:07
Throughout the late nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties, investigative journalists
32:11
dug into the story. Danny Cassilero, a freelance journalist, became
32:15
the most infamous. He linked Promise to what he called
32:19
the Octopus, a shadowy network of intelligence agencies, organized crime figures,
32:24
and corrupt officials. Casilero died in nineteen ninety one in
32:28
a hotel bathtub under suspicious circumstances. His death officially ruled
32:33
the suicide. Many, however, believed he had been silenced. Cassilero's
32:38
death supercharged the promised narrative for conspiracy researchers. It was
32:43
proof that the scandal wasn't just about software licensing. It
32:47
was about control, surveillance and the silencing of inconvenient truths.
32:52
His note suggests that he believed Promise tied in to
32:56
Iran contra, banking scandals, and even covert assassination programs. Meanwhile,
33:02
Congress began to take notice. Hearings were held, reports were written,
33:07
and questions were asked about how the DOJ handled its
33:10
dealings within law. While some findings criticized the government's conduct,
33:15
others stopped short of endorsing the most explosive allegations. Still,
33:20
the perception remained that something rotten had occurred. Meanwhile, ins
33:24
Law fought for years in court. Though Hamilton scored some
33:28
early victories upellate, court's later overturned rulings, leaving him without
33:32
the vindication that he sought. The legal saga dragged on,
33:36
consuming decades of his life and cementing Promise as a
33:39
byword for David Verse. Goliath battles with the federal government.
33:44
For intelligence watchers, the heart of the scandal was whether
33:47
a Promise truly had been weaponized. The software's ability to
33:51
cross reference data across multiple systems was revolutionary, and if
33:55
implanted globally, with the hidden back door, it could have
33:59
provided on par parallleled surveillance power. That possibility alone made
34:03
the story enduring. Foreign intelligence services were reportedly caught on.
34:08
Some accounts claimed that Canada, Britain, and even the Soviet
34:11
Union became wary of Promise. Allegedly, hackers and foreign governments
34:16
tried to reverse engineer it or strip out its supposed
34:19
surveillance hooks. Whether fact or rumor, the story illustrated the
34:23
paranoia of the late Cold War years. Even within the
34:27
US suspicion sworld. Some whistleblowers claimed that Promise had been
34:32
used to track not just criminals, but political dissidents, journalists,
34:36
and activists. If true, this would have represented a chilling
34:40
expansion of government surveillance under the guise of case management.
34:45
By the two thousands, Promises had largely faded from public consciousness,
34:49
but it never entirely disappeared. It became a touchstone in
34:53
discussions about surveillance technology long before Edward Snowden's n essay revelations.
34:59
For many, Promise was a prototype of software designed to
35:02
look innocuous but function as a spy tool. The scandal
35:07
also left scars on Inslaw and Hamilton. Despite decades of
35:11
litigation and lobbying, he never fully recovered the company's footing.
35:15
The story of Promise became a cautionary tell of how
35:18
small innovators could be crushed when their technology intersected with
35:22
national security interests. For researchers, Promise became part of a
35:27
larger mythology. It was said to link everything from BCCI
35:32
banking scandal to Iran contra, from covert arms deals to
35:36
political assassinations. Whether or not those links were provable, Promise
35:41
served as a narrative glue for an era of deep
35:43
mistrust in the government. Critics meanwhile, caution that much of
35:48
Promised lore rests on circumstantial evidence, conflicting testimony, and speculative leaps.
35:55
They argue that while the DOJ likely mishandled its contract
35:58
within's law, the grander espionage tales remain unproven. Still, the
36:03
persistence of the story speaks to how plausible such tactics
36:06
seemed during the Cold war, and Promise now occupies a
36:11
strange space in history, part legal dispute, part espionage thriller,
36:15
part conspiracy legend. Today, Promise is remembered less for its
36:19
technical brilliance than for the scandal surrounding it, whether it
36:24
was truly weaponized or not, the perception that it could
36:27
have been as shaped decades a suspicion about government software
36:31
deals and surveillance. That suspicion has only deepened in the
36:35
digital age. And so the Promise scandal lingers a ghost
36:40
of the eighties, and one ghost from the eighties that
36:43
looms is none other than Robert Maxwell. And this is
36:46
where he allegedly enters the story. So, now what we're
36:50
going to talk about in this section is from sources
36:53
and from people that are in the know. So I
36:55
just want to make clear that I don't have the receipts,
36:58
but this is what people who were involved in this
37:01
have to say, including somebody that was very very very
37:05
high up in Israeli intelligence who gave a deposition or
37:09
an Affidavid I should say, talking about this very thing.
37:13
So I'm going to say allegedly here and then I'm
37:16
going to continue reading through the piece without saying allegedly,
37:20
the story of Promise takes on an even darker and
37:23
more labyrinthine dimensioned once Israel's Masad and the enigmatic figure
37:27
of Robert Maxwell enter the frame. By the late eighties,
37:30
rumors were already swirling that the software had already been
37:34
spirited away from its American origins and modified abroad. In
37:38
this version of events, Massad seized upon Promises cross reverencing
37:42
power and inserted a hidden back door, turning the program
37:46
into a weapon of surveillance far beyond anything Bill Hamilton
37:49
of In's Law could have imagined. Robert Maxwell, the flamboyant
37:54
and controversial British media mogul, soon emerged as a key
37:58
character in this narrative. Known for his towering presence in
38:02
Fleet Street and his tangled business empire, Maxwell was long
38:06
suspected of intelligence ties. Some researchers insist he was not
38:11
only an occasional asset, but a committed operative for the Masad,
38:15
leveraging his media holdings and political influence to advance Israel's interests.
38:21
When Promise entered the picture, Maxwell was perfectly positioned to
38:24
become its global salesman. Robert Maxwell, publisher, deal maker and
38:29
long time Israeli asset was perfectly placed to become the
38:32
salesman for this new version. He had deep relationships with governments,
38:36
parliament and security services. He could show up in Eastern Europe,
38:41
Africa or Latin America offering advanced Western software package without
38:46
drawing suspicion. Behind the glossy brochures, Maxwell was acting as
38:50
a MASSAD cutout, ceting a compromise program into the very
38:54
infrastructure of other states. Now the operation was elegant. Instead
38:59
of breaking intown embassies or bribing informants, Masad can now
39:02
simply watch through the back door of promise court systems,
39:06
intelligence databases, financial transaction hubs. All of them became open books.
39:13
Israeli and CIA analysts could see who was being prosecuted,
39:17
which informants were being flipped, and which shell companies were
39:20
moving arms money. Maxwell provided the front, Masad and the
39:25
CIA provided the technology, and together they created a surveillance
39:29
empire hidden inside of a case management program. All right, folks,
39:34
we're going to wrap up episode one right here, and
39:36
in the next episode we're gonna pick up where we
39:39
left off. All of the information that goes with this
39:42
episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone,
39:45
and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In
39:49
this episode, we're going to pick up where we left
39:51
off talking about the Promise software scandal and how it
39:54
intersects with Jeffrey Epstein. Evidence of Maxwell's intelligen work stretches
40:01
back decades. Former Massad officers have gone on record calling
40:05
him a trusted asset who carried out sensitive missions. His
40:08
media empire gave him cover and access. It also gave
40:11
him leverage. He could use his newspaper to build relationships
40:15
with Head's estate, who would then be open to business pitches.
40:19
The Promise operation fit perfectly within his skill set. He
40:23
was a showman, a deal maker, and a man who
40:26
understood secrets. Sources inside Israel later said that Massad had
40:31
a dedicated unit for Promise. Engineers allegedly stripped down the code,
40:36
inserted the trap door, and tested it before handing it
40:39
out to Maxwell. He would then broker sales to governments
40:42
who had no idea they were buying a trojan horse.
40:45
The Soviets, the Chinese, the Canadians, even some US agencies
40:50
all were rumored to have installed Promise at one point.
40:53
In each case, Massad was effectively reading their mail in
40:56
real time. Maxwell's mind oscou trips were not just journalistic junkets.
41:03
One alleged meeting, he demonstrated Promise to KGB officials as
41:06
a Western innovation that could streamline their bureaucracies. The KGB,
41:11
always hungry for technological parody, took de bait By installing Promise.
41:16
They opened their internal operation to Israeli surveillance at the
41:19
tail end of the Cold War. It was an audacious move,
41:23
Masad riding inside the KGB's own system. The operation extended
41:31
to banks and trading platforms. Modified Promise versions were marketed
41:35
to financial institutions under the banner of fraud detection and
41:40
transaction tracking. Once installed, the software allowed Israeli intelligence to
41:44
see how money moved across borders, which accounts were connected
41:47
to arms dealers, and how covert funds were laundered. This
41:52
was intelligence gold. Instead of chasing rumors, Masad had a
41:55
live feed of the world's covert cash flow. Maxwell's cut
42:00
was enormous. He reportedly earned tens of millions in commissions,
42:04
which he used to prop up as crumbling business empire.
42:08
Masad gained global reach. Both sides got what they wanted
42:11
until Maxwell began to push for more. According to several
42:15
intelligence veterans, he started using his knowledge of the operation
42:19
to extract larger payments, threatening to expose it if he
42:22
wasn't paid. That was a dangerous game to play with
42:25
the service known for eliminating liabilities. Inside Washington, pieces of
42:31
the story began to break. Journalists like Danny Cassilero stumbled
42:36
on the fragments of the Promise Maxwell operation. Cassilero called
42:40
it the Octopus, a network of intelligence, organized crime, and
42:45
high finance. He told friends he was close to blowing
42:48
it open. Days later, he was found dead in a
42:51
hotel bathtub with his wrist slashed. Officially suicide. Unofficially, many
42:57
believe he was silent for getting too close to the
43:00
truth about Promise and Maxwell. Congressional inquiries were hamstrung, witnesses recanted,
43:07
documents vanished, and intelligence agency stonewalled. The final reports were cautious,
43:13
but between the lines they acknowledged evidence that Promise had
43:16
been transferred to Israel and repackaged. What they didn't say
43:20
openly was that it had become one of the most
43:23
successful covert operations of the Lake col War, giving a
43:26
small country unprecedented insight into the affairs of superpowers. Maxwell's
43:33
death in nineteen ninety one, his body floating off his yacht,
43:37
the Lady Glaine, fits this pattern. Officially, it was an
43:40
accident or suicide, but intelligence insiders have long whispered that
43:45
it was an execution. Maxwell had become a liability, his debt'smounting,
43:49
his demands growing. Rather than risking exposure of the Promise operation,
43:54
Masad cut him loose. Within weeks, his companies collapsed, his
43:58
secrets scattered, and his reputeeation shifted from tycoon to a
44:02
disgraced businessman. Even after his death, traces a Promised network persisted.
44:08
Governments quietly replaced the software, but not before years of
44:11
sensitive data had been siphoned off. Financial institutions rewrote their systems,
44:16
but by then the intelligence had already been harvested. For Israel,
44:21
the operation was a triumph. For the rest of the world,
44:24
it was a cautionary tale about how easily a benign
44:27
program could be turned into a global surveillance platform. The
44:31
Promise affair also showed how the lines between allies and
44:35
adversaries blur and intelligence work. The United States looked the
44:39
other way while its ally used stolen software to spy
44:42
on governments, including perhaps American agencies themselves. The scandal foreshadowed
44:48
later revelations about the NSA's global spying. Promise was the prototype. Maxwell,
44:54
Massad and the CIA were the pioneers for Bill Hamilton.
44:58
Learning that his software had been use this way was
45:00
a bitter revelation. He had built Promise to help prosecutors
45:04
catch criminals. Instead, it had become an instrument of espionage, theft,
45:08
perhaps murder. Hamilton's decades long legal battle with the Justice
45:13
Department was never just about money. It was about reclaiming
45:17
his creation from the shadows that had consumed it. Maxwell's
45:21
involvement also underscored how powerful nonstate actors can be aligned
45:25
with intelligent services. He wasn't a case officer or a
45:29
spy in the traditional sense. He was a billionaire publisher
45:33
who could pick up the phone and reach presidents by
45:36
turning him into their frontmen their asset. Massad leverage not
45:40
just his network, but his reputation, cloaking their operation in respectability.
45:45
This story also explains why so many key players died
45:48
suddenly or saw their reputations destroyed. Promise wasn't just another
45:53
government contract. It was the golden key to the world's
45:56
most sensitive data. People who tried to expose it, from
45:59
Castlero to Maxwell himself, maybe ended up dead. Others, like Hamilton,
46:05
were buried under lawsuits and financial ruin. The pattern speaks
46:09
louder than the official denials. In the years since, the
46:13
classified fragments and whistleblower accounts have continued to emerge, each
46:18
reinforcing the outline of the CIA Maxwell Massad promise operation.
46:23
They don't prove every detail, but together they draw a
46:26
picture of a covert program that use stolen software, a
46:29
global salesman, and a small intelligence service to spy on
46:32
the world. Today, a promise is mostly forgotten by the public,
46:36
but inside the intelligence community it is remembered as a
46:40
template modern spyware operations like stucks Net or a Pegasus echo.
46:45
Its structure a trojan horse, designed as a legitimate product,
46:49
distributed through commercial channels and used to penetrate high value targets.
46:54
In that sense, Maxwell, the CIA, and the MASAD were
46:57
way ahead of their time. Seen this way, the Promise
47:01
saga is not a conspiracy but an early chapter in
47:04
the story of the digital surveillance state. It shows how
47:07
software can be weaponized, how frontmen can launder espionage, and
47:12
how official inquiries can be blunted. It's a case study
47:15
in covert power, and Robert Maxwell's fingerprints are all over it.
47:20
And that's why, decades later, the Promise scandal still resonates.
47:25
When you look at this story and you look at
47:27
Epstein through the lens of intelligence operations, many of the
47:30
features echo the Promise saga, secrecy, infiltration, frontmen, and sudden deaths.
47:36
The same tools and tactics that turn a piece of
47:39
software like Promise into a trojan horse mirror how a
47:42
sex trafficking ring might be weaponized as a black mail operation.
47:46
In both cases, the outward face is benign or even
47:49
socially acceptable, the hidden purpose is control. Epstein's connections to
47:54
the Maxwell family, especially Golaine, and the legacy of Robert
47:58
Maxwell provide a bridge between the world the world of
48:00
espionage and the world of sexual control. Robert Maxwell, already
48:05
alleged to have been Masad linked and the distributor of
48:08
covert tools like Promise, passed some of those shadows to
48:11
his daughter, who later became Epstein's principal collaborator and social broker.
48:17
The Maxwell link is thus not incidental. It suggests continuity
48:21
and intelligence link networks from one generation to the next.
48:24
One of the hallmarks in both Promise and Epstein's narrative
48:28
is the use of plausible deniability. In the Promise case,
48:32
salesmen shell companies and frontmen obscure the true origin of
48:35
the software as trapped doors. In Epstein's case, high society donors,
48:40
philanthropic pretenses, and elite networks shield the darker underpinnings of
48:44
his operation. Just as the MASAD or the CIA might
48:48
insert itself behind the software vendor, so too might it
48:52
or similar agencies hide behind the guise of a financier
48:56
who seems to collect powerful people. In both narratives, rect
49:00
mutational control is critical. Promise scandal was filtered through legal proceedings,
49:05
classified reports, redactions and denials. Epstein scandal has been filtered
49:10
through gag orders, seal filings, plea deals, non disclosures, and
49:14
manipulated media. The playbook is familiar Bury, the paper trail villifier,
49:19
silence those who dig too deep and keep the system opaque.
49:24
Epstein's possible ties to intelligence are not just speculative fluff.
49:28
They have some structural resemblance to operations known in intelligence lore.
49:33
For example, former CIA officer John carrickw described Epstein as
49:38
a textbook example of an access agent, someone whose role
49:42
is to grant intelligence services entree into networks of influence,
49:46
rather than act as a violent operative. That is exactly
49:49
the sort of role that a trojanized Promise would have played,
49:53
not as a blunt instrument, but as a key to infiltration.
49:57
Rumors that Epstein might have worked with Masad if circ
50:00
sulated widely with press outlets and analysts noting that is MO,
50:04
gathering compromising material, cultivating powerful acquaintances, controlling private spaces is
50:10
consistent with classic intelligence blackmail operations. One particularly suggestive connection
50:16
is Epstein's relationship with Ehud Brock, a former Prime Minister
50:20
of Israel. Barack met Epstein dozens of times, reportedly flew
50:24
on his private jet and was an investment partner in
50:26
technology ventures linked to defense and surveillance that overlap between financial, political,
50:33
and intelligence spheres mirrors the model seen in Promise, where
50:37
Masad linked actors use commercial software to interpose themselves into
50:41
state systems. Another echo is the operational use of data capture,
50:48
just as Promise trappdoors could siphon case files and legal data.
50:51
Epstein's properties were allegedly wired with surveillance cameras and recording devices.
50:57
Some observers suggest he gathered material on yes, perhaps for leverage.
51:01
The kind of asymmetric leverage is precisely what an intelligence
51:05
apparatus might cultivate. The deaths, too, and even the deaths themselves,
51:11
follow an all too familiar pattern. In's Law's enemies or
51:14
perceived enemies face legal ruin or suppression. Maxwell met a
51:18
mysterious watery death. Danny Cassilero died in a suspicious bathtub scenario.
51:24
In Epstein's case, he died under contested circumstances while jailed,
51:28
allegedly by suicide. Yet many people believe foul play was plausible.
51:33
The coincidence of high stakes intelligence conspiracies and bodies in
51:37
water is part of the mythology. Maxwell's death offers a
51:41
particularly acute crossroads. If Masad partly orchestrated the promised distribution
51:47
and Maxwell was implicated in it, then Maxwell's demise may
51:51
have been a signal a sabotage or a cleanup. Was
51:54
Epstein just a continuance of the networks that operated under
51:58
the same logic, you said, finance, power, and technology to entangle, compromise,
52:03
and control. That continuity is what draws many researchers to
52:08
see the Epstein scandal not as a separate moral collapse,
52:12
but as the next stitch in the covert operations quilt.
