Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein and His Special Relationship With The Gulf States (6/27/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. One of the biggest misnomers when it comes
0:08
to Jeffrey Epstein was that he was some sort of
0:11
super Israeli Massad spy. Now, there's no doubt that Jeffrey
0:17
Epstein had ties to the Masad, to Israel, and to
0:21
Israel's industrial intelligence complex. That is undeniable. But the narrative
0:26
that's pitched that Jeffrey Epstein is some sort of secret
0:29
agent for the Masad is completely and utterly wrong. Jeffrey
0:35
Epstein was the quintessential me first m effort. There was
0:39
no love of state, love of country, love of religion,
0:42
love of anything but money, power, and more. Look the
0:48
men of always, they always want more, and that more
0:51
always comes on the back of the children of never.
0:55
And that's really what it came down to. Jeffrey Epstein
0:58
was willing to play ball with any who do you
1:00
ad the dough. He didn't care if you were Israeli,
1:03
he didn't care if you were a Buddhist, he didn't
1:05
care if you were a Martian. As long as you
1:09
had something he wanted, as long as you had some
1:11
sort of inroad. Well, you and Epstein, you had business.
1:17
So when people try and set it up as Epstein
1:19
being just part of the Massad, it really just shows
1:23
you how little they know and how they're trying to
1:27
exploit this story for their other bullshit. But the truth
1:31
is Jeffrey Epstein was not a Massad spy. And in
1:36
this article we're going to talk about Jeffrey Epstein and
1:40
just how deep his ties ran with a lot of
1:42
the countries in the Middle East, and breaking news, we're
1:45
not talking about Israel. Today's article is from the Miami
1:50
Herald and the headline Epstein ties to Arab royles, an
1:54
offer to tutor, Crown Prince and a gift from Mecca.
1:57
This article was authored by sheer So Dasgupta. And I've
2:02
told you about the Saudi Arabian connection for years now,
2:06
and that's because I know somebody that's well placed who
2:09
was breaking it down for me, telling me just how
2:11
deep the ties ran between Jeffrey Epstein and a lot
2:15
of the royalty in the Middle East, but namely the
2:19
Saudi royal family. And I remember when I was talking
2:23
about that. Originally you had the no he's a Massad
2:26
bro People out there who didn't want to hear it,
2:29
and that's because it blows up their whole narrative. But
2:32
around these parts, I don't give a shit about narratives.
2:34
I care about the truth or getting as close to
2:36
it as we possibly can. In his attempts to position
2:40
himself at the confluence of money and power, Jeffrey Epstein
2:44
cultivated myriad relationships among the ruling elite of the Middle East.
2:48
According to an extensive Miami Herald review of several million
2:52
pages of documents recently released by the US Department of Justice,
2:58
this is something that is one hundred percent of fact.
3:03
Jeffrey Epstein was ensconced in the Arab world. They had
3:08
one thing in common, right, money, They love it. Have
3:12
you ever met a shake from the Arab world who
3:15
didn't love money and didn't love a pathway to get there?
3:19
And then you add to that perverse sexual alliances and
3:25
you got yourself the right group. I mean, look what
3:29
they say about the Instagram models that go to places
3:32
like Dubai, human porta potties, et cetera, et cetera. So
3:36
Jeffrey Epstein was a big hit with these royals. I
3:39
promise you that. From his Palm Beach and New York
3:45
mansions and his luxurious apartment in Paris. Epstein enjoyed a
3:49
remarkable level of access to sensitive information like the outcome
3:53
of political meetings and the itinery of golf royals. Does
3:59
a loan predator at that just some sick degenerate from America?
4:03
Does that sound likely to you? Because it doesn't sound
4:06
likely to me. The only way you get access to
4:09
a place like the royal family in Saudi Arabia is
4:12
if you're bringing something to the table. The disgraced financier
4:16
the Herald found regularly corresponded with members of the ruling
4:19
classes of Saudi Arabia, Cutter Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates.
4:24
He invited them to his properties and gave them business advice,
4:28
even suggesting the Saudi Palace officials that he tutored the
4:31
Crown Prince about the ways of Wall Street translation how
4:35
to steal money from people. That's what he means, because
4:38
Jeffrey Epstein certainly wasn't fucking some kind of mover and
4:41
shaker on Wall Street. He asked that he'd be given
4:47
a small place to live in while schooling the Prince,
4:50
and demanded that the Saudi's give him sweeping oversight over
4:53
the kingdom's fortunes, and that was his mo o. Once
4:57
he weaseled his way in, it usually led to ebs
5:00
getting the keys to the kingdom, and in this case
5:03
it would have been the actual kingdom. When Cutter was
5:08
accused of supporting al Qaeda and the Islamic State, Epstein
5:12
detailed to a Qatari royal a four point campaign on
5:15
how the country could clean up its image. Epstein also
5:19
intervened on behalf of a Yemeny billionaire son to help
5:23
him fight murder and rape allegations in Britain. Nor did
5:28
his time in the Palm Beach County stockade stop Epstein
5:32
while serving an eighteen month sentence after pleading guilty to
5:35
two prostitution charges in two thousand and nine. Prostitution charges,
5:39
What a fucking joke, The bile that raises in the
5:44
back of my throat when I have to read that bullshit.
5:49
Where he could leave jail for twelve hours a day,
5:52
Epstein helped an Emoradi business lobby the British government to
5:56
construct a megaport outside London. Epstein hosted in his Palm
6:00
Beach mansion a few months after his release, another person
6:05
who doesn't give a shit that Jeffrey Epstein is a
6:07
convicted child sex offender. Epstein also seemed to revel in
6:14
being photographed with the royals, grinning broadly as Crown Prince
6:17
Mohammed ben Salmon of Saudi Arabia stands side by side
6:20
with him, his arm draped over the disgraced financier. In
6:25
another photo released by the US House Oversight Committee, Epstein
6:28
appears to be garbed in traditional Arab black and gold
6:32
robes and red and white headdress known as shemaga. So
6:38
do you think that some arden Israeli spy is going
6:43
to be hanging out with the royal family like this?
6:45
Do you think the royals in the Middle East are
6:47
going to accept it? We all know the truth, and
6:50
the truth is Jeffrey Epstein was a me first m
6:53
effort and it's absolutely laughable that anybody out there thinks
6:57
that he had loyalty to anybody or anything besides himself.
7:02
For his efforts, Epstein got lavish gifts from the Middle
7:05
Eastern elite, including sacred Islamic drapes from Mecca that he
7:09
had shipped to Miami. The record show boy, what an
7:13
ardent Jew Jeffrey Epstein, he's just, you know, such a zionist.
7:19
Can we stop with that narrative? Please? Somebody tell Darryl Cooper,
7:23
Ian Carroll, Candace Owens and the rest of them to
7:26
kindly shut the fuck up. Go find something else to
7:30
talk about. Go talk about Charlie Kirk, go talk about
7:33
anything but this topic, because you people have no idea
7:38
what you're talking about, and unfortunately, their bullshit narratives have
7:42
infected way too many people. Epstein later sent the gifts
7:47
to his private island in the Caribbean, where he allegedly
7:50
preyed upon countless women and girls. Allegedly. Huh, how many
7:54
settlements were paid out? Oh that's right, I got your
7:57
allegedly right here. Many of the influential Arabs Epstein corresponded
8:03
with held them in high regard, at times, calling them
8:05
Shake Jeffrey cousin, brother and Habibi Arabic for loved One.
8:11
But while they likely believed their conversations with the financier
8:14
were private, the Herald found that Epstein had little qualms
8:18
in repeating what he had heard to others, even if
8:21
the person was from another country. Let me scream this
8:24
from another rooftop and maybe people will listen. Jeffrey Epstein
8:28
was an information broker, That's what he did. And to
8:33
keep people interested, he'd give them little nuggets. Oh well,
8:37
so and so from so and so told me this,
8:39
and then it would pan out, and then he'd gained
8:42
some credit with whoever he told the story to, and
8:44
then he'd use that later on when he was negotiating
8:47
his payout. While Epstein kept abreast of political and business
8:55
developments in the Middle East, his sexual proclivities were never
8:59
far from his mind. She wanted some business, while I
9:03
only wanted some pussiness. Sultan Ben Solomon and Amaradi businessman
9:08
wrote to him in a twenty thirteen email after meeting
9:11
an unnamed woman in New York. Prais allah. There are
9:15
still people like you, Epstein replied, such a massad agent,
9:20
Big Jeffrey Epstein, mister Massad. And the wild part is
9:24
people will just double down. Oh well that's not true.
9:26
Who cares? That doesn't mean anything. But the truth is
9:30
it means everything because it shows you just how willing
9:33
Epstein was to hop into bed with anybody if you
9:37
were somebody of note, somebody of power, and Epstein thought
9:41
he could exploit that in some way, you better believe
9:44
the exploitation was about to begin. Epstein was introduced to
9:48
her thought el Saba, a close adviser of Prince Mohammed
9:52
bin Salomon, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, in twenty sixteen,
9:56
by Norwegian diplomat Terry Rod Larson. And boy, that name
10:00
Yves popping up, doesn't it? Terry rod Larsen, another man
10:06
who has Epstein amnesia and had no idea just what
10:09
kind of animal that Jeffrey Epstein was. Can you believe
10:14
these people actually think that's gonna work? And now with
10:17
this cease fire in Iran, I expect people to get
10:20
interested again in what's going on with the Epstein files,
10:24
because this isn't going away. In fact, it's just becoming
10:29
more of a time bomb. Correspondence between Epstein and al
10:34
Saba shows them meeting and inviting each other to their homes,
10:38
even though al Saba was aware of Epstein's reputation. I'm
10:42
sure you were opening so many legs there, he wrote
10:45
in the twenty sixteen message to Epstein, who was in
10:48
Florida at the time. I am sure you're opening so
10:52
many legs there. Well, that's nice al Saba sounds like
10:57
the hell of a guy. I wonder how many Instagram
10:59
models have visited mister al Saba. Around this time, Prince
11:05
Muhammad announced his vision, the twenty thirty Project, to diversify
11:10
the kingdom's economy and make it less reliant on oil.
11:14
Central to his plan was publicly selling shares of Saudi Aramco,
11:18
the state energy company. But a flurry of messages from
11:21
Epstein to al Saba and his assistant shows how Epstein
11:25
found the idea to take Aramco public to be silly,
11:28
and warned that Wall Street viewed it as taking a
11:31
cow to slaughter. Shareholders are the last thing the Kingdom
11:35
of Saudi Arabia needs, Epstein wrote in in August fifteenth,
11:39
twenty sixteen email to them. Among Epstein's chief concerns about
11:44
Aramco stock listing in New York was the passage of
11:47
the US federal law in twenty sixteen that allows American
11:51
citizens to sue foreign countries for terrorist acts. The nightmare scenario,
11:56
according to epstein September twenty sixteen email to al Saba's side,
12:00
a US lawsuit claiming reparations for nine to eleven gets
12:04
a fifty billion dollar judgment, and some crazy judge attaches
12:08
the Kingdom shares in Aramco to fulfill it, essentially making
12:12
the shares worthless. So if Jeffrey Epstein was such a
12:16
gigantic massad agent, what's he doing helping out Saudi Arabia
12:21
and doing it on this level. Now, I'm sure the
12:24
people that are infected with brainworms will say something like, oh,
12:28
it's all just a big Israeli plot and it was
12:30
part of their grand scheme. But I don't buy that shit.
12:33
So save it for somebody else, because the truth is
12:36
right here in front of you. And if people refuse
12:39
to accept the truth because they have, you know, personal
12:42
bias about something, that's a them problem, because around here
12:46
one plus one is always going to equal to. Epstein
12:50
advised the Saudis to take steps to protect their assets
12:53
from American courts. Epstein visited the Saudi capital of Riod
12:57
in early November of twenty sixteen, the released records suggest.
13:02
A few days later, he wrote to Al Saba's assistant
13:05
making a sweeping proposal that he be made financial confidant
13:09
the Prince Mohammed and become a major contributor to the
13:12
economic restructuring of the Kingdom. He asked for thirty minute
13:17
bi weekly meetings with the Prince and demanded he be
13:20
given the power to review all financial aspects of the country.
13:25
That was Epstein's m That's what he did, and once
13:29
he got in, he was in. Epstein also claimed that
13:34
the Prince had asked that he be allowed to see
13:36
details of legal structures, organizational charts, goals and initiatives of
13:41
the Saudi Central Bank, the Royal Purse, and the country's
13:44
Sovereign Wealth Fund. His emails to Al Saba's Aid show
13:50
he offered to work for free the first year, but
13:52
was hoping, the record show to be able to live
13:54
in a small palace during his stay in the country.
13:58
I am happy to represent KAO and their interests, he
14:01
wrote in a message to Al Saba's AID on November ninth,
14:05
twenty sixteen. Did he see the writing on the wall?
14:08
Was Epstein hip that it was coming? It's possible, I
14:13
mean it's very, very possible. And was he looking for
14:16
that escape plan? I know everybody says, oh, he's going
14:20
to go to Israel. I never bought that, not for
14:23
a second. I always figured if somebody like Epstein was
14:27
going to go on the run, which he never ended
14:29
up doing. He'd go to a place in Saudi Arabia
14:32
or someplace in the Middle East where he's going to
14:35
get the protection that he's looking for. A Ramco was
14:38
listed in the stock Exchange three years later, but Riod
14:42
not New York. The records do not show if Epstein's
14:45
advice was considered by the Saudi rulers. The records also
14:49
do not indicate whether Saudi's passed on any information about
14:53
their country's finances to them. I'm going to go out
14:56
on a limb and say they did, but it's not
15:00
like here in America or over in the UK. If
15:04
the Crown Prince wants to pass information to somebody, then
15:08
I guess he can do whatever he wants, right. I mean,
15:12
they are the ultimate ruling force in the country of
15:14
Saudi Arabia, so I'm pretty sure that Ben Salman can
15:18
do whatever the hell he wants. But four months after
15:23
Epstein's trip to the Kingdom, a British Airways plane carrying
15:26
a shipment from Riod landed in Miami International Airport. The
15:31
cargo comprised parts of the Kisswa the Sacred Black Silk
15:34
embroidered with the verses from the Quran and gold that's
15:38
draped over the Kaba in Mecca, Islam's holiest site. It
15:42
was a gift from the saudis its final destination, Little
15:46
Saint James Jeffrey Epstein secluded seventy two acre private island
15:51
in the Caribbean. Well well, well look at that. The
15:57
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia gifting that kisswah to a Massad spy. Yeah,
16:04
never gonna happen. So please, can we just do away
16:09
with the whole Epstein was Massad? And how about we
16:12
replace it with Epstein worked with Massad? Because that's true. Now,
16:17
I know it doesn't fit with all the other bullshit
16:19
they like to pitch, but this is the podcast where
16:22
that shit goes to die. Epstein's staff the Record Show
16:28
described the sacred drapes as pieces from the Kaba and
16:32
classified them as artwork to ensure that they passed easily
16:35
through US customs in Miami. Other gifts included traditional Bedouin
16:41
tent and tables, cushions and carpets that Epstein later set
16:45
up on his island. The Herald was not able to
16:48
contact Al Saba. The Saudi government did not provide answers.
16:52
To the specific question sent by The Herald about Epstein's
16:55
trip to the Kingdom, his relationship with al Saba, or
16:59
how he demanded oversight of the country's financial system, A
17:04
Saudy source familiar with the matter only said that the
17:06
meetings with public officials are typically introductory and do not
17:11
imply any ongoing relationship, and that exchanging gifts is a
17:15
common practice. Pretty sure, it's not common practice to give
17:19
somebody the KISWA. Pretty sure that that's something that's reserved
17:23
for people that are highly respected and well liked. Epstein
17:28
was responsible for serious crimes that caused significant harm to
17:31
many victims. He said he was known to exaggerate and
17:35
misrepresent his connections. Yeah, how about those emails. Did they
17:40
over exaggerate? Did they misrepresent connections? I don't think they did.
17:44
So they can try and deny all they want, but
17:47
the contemporaneous record tells us a completely different story. All right, folks,
17:51
we're going to wrap up episode one right here, and
17:54
in the next episode we're going to pick up where
17:56
we left off and bring this to a conclusion. All
18:00
the information that goes with this episode can be found
18:03
in the description box. What's up everyone, and Welcome to
18:06
another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're
18:10
going to pick up where we left off with the
18:12
Miami Herald article talking about Jeffrey Epstein in his ties
18:17
to the Arab Royals. This article was authored by Sheer
18:23
show Dasgupta. Epstein first got acquainted with Yemeny billionaire Shahar
18:30
Abdulhak in the spring of twenty twelve. Abdul Hawk, at
18:34
the time, was in a fix. His son, Faruk, was
18:38
a suspect in the rape and murder of a twenty
18:41
three year old Norwegian student, Martin Vic Magnuson in London
18:45
in two thousand and eight. According to the British press,
18:49
British authorities wanted him for questioning, but Faruk had fled
18:53
to Yemen. That sounds about right. What He's going to
18:57
stick around and face justice here, right? Epstein The Record
19:02
Show claimed to have facilitated an introduction with British attorney
19:06
Lord Ken McDonald, who had previously served as the top
19:09
prosecutor in England and Wales. Epstein told abdull Hawk in
19:15
a June twenty twelve email that he'd spoken to McDonald,
19:18
who believed that Faruk could get a reduced charge and
19:21
be granted bell record show. Epstein advised abdul Hak to
19:26
focus on what punishment would be acceptable. I think you're right,
19:31
something like house arrest plus charity work. Abdulhak replied. The
19:37
rape and murder of twenty three year old Norwegian student
19:41
Martin vic Magnuson, and these motherfuckers are talking about charity
19:45
work and house arrest. What I think you mean is
19:49
helicopters and volcanoes, right. Imagine being the family members of
19:55
miss Martin Vic Magnuson and these scumbag piece a shit
20:00
are talking like this in these emails, and later on
20:03
down the road you see them. It's not bad enough
20:05
that your daughter was murdered by some piece of garbage,
20:09
but then you have to read the emails of her
20:12
murderer's father conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein on a way to
20:15
get the son off. What an absolute nightmare that must be.
20:21
I have no recollection of the single telephone call I
20:24
seem to have received from Jeffrey Epstein, and I had
20:27
no dealings with them prior to it and none afterward.
20:30
What did he just find you in the phone book? Hey,
20:34
go get me the yellow pages. I need a lawyer
20:36
in England. Nobody buys that. McDonald told the Herald he
20:42
was never my client and I have never met him.
20:46
The attorney said that his fees were paid by Abdul Hawk,
20:49
not Epstein. He would never have told Epstein that Abdul
20:52
Hawk's son would have got bell. He added, Oh, I'm sure,
20:55
I'm sure you never had a conversation with him. You
20:58
lie on, prick, you stiff upper lip lion prick. Let
21:02
me guess you're hanging out at Lord Mandelssohn's house. Sounds
21:06
about right. I expect Epstein was embellishing our conversation for
21:13
his own purposes. He said. The records do not detail
21:16
what happened next. For Ruke is still in Yemen and
21:20
remains wanted in the UK, according to the British press, Yo,
21:24
you remember that movie you taken. That would be me
21:27
if my daughter was raped and murdered and there was
21:30
no justice for her and the dude who was hiding
21:32
in Yemen, I'd be finding a soldier of Fortune magazine,
21:36
putting together a team and going to find them. The
21:39
fact that this dude could run to Yemen and hide
21:42
is just unbelievably disgusting. Maybe you'll get hit with a
21:46
missile strike. That would be cool, right one of those
21:49
missiles happens to just drop right into his bedroom window,
21:52
that wouldn't be so bad. Around the same time that
21:56
Epstein was helping abdul Haak with his son, the Arab
21:59
Spring reached Yemen that led to the ouster of Abdulhak's friend,
22:03
President Ali Abdullah Salah. In the next few years, a
22:07
power sharing agreement between Themeni government and the Iran Bagtoothi
22:11
rebels broke down. A Saudi Arabia led alliance intervened against
22:16
the rebels, precipitating a civil war. In twenty eighteen, Abdullah
22:22
called Epstein a potential peacemaker in Yemen and requested him
22:26
to speak the Saudi crown Prince Muhammed to freeze bombing
22:29
for four days so abdul Haak could navigate the various
22:32
factions and broker a peace deal. Well, that didn't work
22:35
out so well, did it, considering that Yemen is an
22:39
absolute hell whole, I mean famine war. But sure, instead
22:47
of feeding our people and fixing infrastructure and giving people
22:50
a chance at life, let's buy some more missiles to
22:53
launch at our so called enemies. And what's really frustrating
22:57
is that this region of the world is a beautiful region.
23:00
Can you imagine if they would just stop the bullshit,
23:03
the kind of money they could make. You build yourself
23:07
a riviera on that coast and people will flock to it.
23:11
Look at Dubai, look at you know several places in
23:16
the Middle East. If you build it, they'll come. But
23:20
you have to provide security. But to do that in
23:23
the proper way, you have to get rid of all
23:25
the corruption, and unfortunately that's just not going to happen
23:28
in a place like Yemen. Whether Epstein ever corresponded with
23:32
the Prince about Yemen is not known. There was a
23:35
brief ceasefire in the country that year, but it was
23:38
brokered by the United Nations, not Epstein. Abdulhak passed away
23:43
in twenty twenty. The Maeni civil war is still ongoing
23:48
and probably not going to end anytime soon. There are
23:51
way too many disagreements between the factions and Yemen for
23:54
them to come to the table or I guess you
23:57
would say, to the tent whatever you want to call it.
24:00
They're not going to do it, at least not anytime soon.
24:03
Of course, the caveat to that is the ceasefire with Iran,
24:07
So we'll have to see what goes on there before
24:09
we know geopolitically speaking, how that's going to affect other
24:13
countries in the region. But I don't see the civil
24:16
war in Yemen stop at any time soon. Epstein's involvement
24:23
with Abdul Hahak was not the only time that the
24:25
financier waded into political affairs of the Middle East. Cutter
24:29
was in the midst of an international crisis in twenty seventeen.
24:34
An alliance of Arab states led by Saudi Arabia had
24:37
initiated a de facto blockade claiming that Cutter was funding
24:41
terrorist organizations like al Qaeda and the Islamic State, an
24:45
allegation that the country steadfastly denied. Epstein had advice for
24:51
Jabor Yusuf Alfani, a member of the Katari ruling family.
24:56
Katar should stop kicking and arguing, he wrote, needs to
25:00
come out against terrorism loud. Foreign Minister Mohammad Alfani is
25:05
not experienced and it chose Epstein's suggestions. Recognized. Israel put
25:11
one billion into a fund to benefit the victims of
25:14
terrorist acts that would be administered by the US, the UK,
25:18
and the United Nations pay for electricity in Gaza and
25:22
support an international committee to look into terrorism financing around
25:26
the world. Al Thani, whom Epstein knew from at least
25:30
twenty twelve, agreed with some of Epstein's views, their correspondence suggests,
25:35
but whether they were conveyed to the Foreign Minister of
25:39
Cutter's leader, Amir Tamim bin Hamad Alfani, is unclear. Epstein
25:46
was also in frequent correspondence with Annas al Rashid, an
25:50
academic and former information minister from Kuwait, which was mediating
25:55
between Cutter and the other Arab countries. Epstein record show
26:00
tried to initiate a back channel meeting between the Saudi
26:03
Crown Prince and Cutter's ex prime minister. I know that
26:07
HBJ Cutter's Hamad bin Jessim Albani would like to sit
26:12
with NBS in a face to face, Epstein wrote in
26:15
July of twenty seventeen to al Rashid. I think that
26:19
would be a good step. It's unclear whether such a
26:22
meeting ever took place. The crisis was finally resolved in
26:26
twenty twenty one, long after Epstein was found dead in
26:29
federal custody on August tenth, twenty nineteen. Well, I think
26:34
what it really shows you and gets right to the
26:36
heart of it, is that Jeffrey Epstein was a free
26:39
agent and that he was working for whoever he felt
26:42
could enrich him or give him an inroad to get
26:45
closer to power, because that's what it was all about.
26:50
It wasn't about just his proclivities, like the government's trying
26:54
to tell you. And I don't know how much more
26:57
evidence is needed to make people see what was really
26:59
good going on here. Epstein also facilitated a meeting between
27:04
former Israeli Prime Minister who Barack and Cutter's former Prime
27:09
Minister a mere Hamad bin Jasim Alfani in the winter
27:13
of twenty nine eighteen in Knightsbridge, an upscale neighborhood in London.
27:20
I think that what we can take from all of
27:22
this is just how well connected Jeffrey Epstein was in
27:25
this region in the world. And I think it's important
27:28
to understand just how connected he was in all of
27:31
these regions, because it wasn't just here, it wasn't just America,
27:35
it wasn't just the Middle East, it was Russia, it
27:38
was South America. It was Asia everywhere. So please, somebody
27:44
explain to me how just some loan predator who had
27:46
some real disgusting, disgusting behaviors could be so well connected.
27:53
Please explain that. Well, the only explanation is that he
27:56
was so well connected because that's what he did. That
28:00
was his job, that's how he made his money. And
28:04
I think that's finally coming to light. The release record
28:07
showed that Barack had made a pitch to the Kataris Carbine,
28:11
an Israeli tech startup for which Barack was a lead
28:14
investor and board chairman, wanted to provide security services and
28:17
anti drone technology when Cutter hosted the Soccer World Cup
28:22
in twenty twenty two. Barack was cognizant of how the
28:25
Arab populace would perceive Israeli involvement. We can work through
28:30
a European company of your choice and minimize Israeli profile,
28:33
he wrote. What neither Barock nor Epstein mentioned was that
28:37
at least one million of Barrock's investment into Carbin had
28:41
come from Epstein's Southern Trust company. Bruce Goodman, an attorney
28:45
for Barack, told The Herald that Barack had conducted some
28:49
preliminary due diligence to explore whether Carbine could support security
28:54
at the World Cup, but it quickly became clear that
28:56
the company was not suited for that role. He said
29:00
that Carbine did not pursue a bid and added that
29:03
all of Brock's activities were conducted in compliance with all laws. Oh,
29:07
I have a hard time believe in that. We all
29:10
know how deep the ties ran between Ehud Barock and
29:15
Jeffrey Epstein, and we also know what Virginia said about
29:19
Ehud Barrock. And in fact, I believe her Cutter's embassy
29:25
in Washington, in the country's International Media Office, which handles
29:29
all press requests, did not respond to The Herald's queries.
29:32
The Herald also tried to contact Alfani through CYB Insurance,
29:37
on whose board he sits, but did not receive any response.
29:41
Sultan Ahmed bin Suliam, then chairman of DP World, Dubai's
29:45
primary cargo logistics company, emailed Epstein on May ninth, two
29:50
thousand and nine. At the time, Epstein was serving his
29:54
eighteen month sentence in the Palm Beach County Stockade, but
29:57
was allowed to spend twelve hours a day days a
30:00
week in his office under a work release program his
30:03
attorneys had negotiated, which, of course is one of the
30:06
biggest travesties of this whole, entire sordid ordeal. I can't
30:10
imagine anyone getting that kind of deal, never mind somebody
30:14
that committed crimes against children. Ben Suliman, who had a
30:18
year's long relationship with Epstein, was in a fix. The
30:22
two thousand and eight global recession, triggered by the US
30:25
subprime mortgage crisis, had dried up the funds for DP
30:28
World's three billion dollar project built the London Gateway, a
30:32
commercial megaport roughly thirty miles east of the British capital.
30:37
The project is now on hold. Ben Suliman wrote in
30:40
a memo to Epstein on May ninth, two thousand and nine,
30:44
we would like the UK government support to fund this
30:47
immediate offsite infrastructure. Epstein forwarded the memo to Lord Mandelsson,
30:53
who said he would speak to Ben Suliman. Mandelsson was
30:57
the UK Business Secretary at the time. Is it all
31:01
starting to make sense yet? How this worked? Do you
31:05
think Jeffrey Epstein didn't get any money for any of this?
31:08
Do you think he was just passing this information on
31:11
out of the kindness of his heart, or do you
31:13
think that he was getting a bag. Other correspondents, many
31:18
after Epstein's release in July of two thousand and nine,
31:21
show him triangulating communication between the British bureaucrat and the
31:25
Amoradi businessman. In November correspondence, Epstein edited a letter Ben
31:30
Suliman sent Mandelsson demanding funding guarantees from the UK government. Unfortunately,
31:36
without vast assurances that the UK government would cover any
31:40
funding shortfall, the viability of the project remains uncertain, the
31:44
letter said. The records do not reveal what conversations Mandelsson
31:49
may have had with the country's financial institutions about the project,
31:53
and what role Epstein may have played in them. The
31:57
Royal Bank of Scotland was the only British in institution
32:00
that participated in roughly eight hundred million dollars financing package
32:05
put together by a consortium of global banks. It always
32:10
leads back to the financial sector, doesn't it. Every last
32:13
bit of this. I'm proud of you, Epstein wrote in
32:16
an email to Ben Suleiman after the public announcement of
32:19
the opening date for the port in twenty eleven, British
32:24
authorities arrested mandelssh earlier this year for allegedly passing sensitive
32:28
government information to Epstein while serving as his business secretary.
32:33
Mandelssinn has not been charged and is currently out on bill.
32:37
The Herald sent questions to attorneys representing him, but did
32:40
not receive any answers. How could he not be charged? Like?
32:46
Are you for real? Right now? There's an absolute paper
32:48
trail that is telling us exactly what was going on.
32:53
I would think that there's going to be charges coming
32:55
or is the UK just given us the run around
32:58
which I wouldn't be shocked by. Let's not act like
33:00
Scotland yards above reproach. I mean they vastly ignored Jeffrey
33:04
Epstein in his crimes for years, and it wasn't until
33:07
all of this craziness started happening where people started demanding answers,
33:13
where they decided that they'd have a new investigation. So
33:17
I'm not all that confident in Scotland Yard Epstein, whose
33:20
relationship with Ben Suliman began before the financier's arrest. You
33:24
mean pedophile right in Florida in two thousand and eight
33:27
on the prostitution charges. What you mean is molesting kids
33:30
right prostitution charges, really met corresponded with the Amiati for
33:35
more than a decade. Ben Suliman sought to introduce the
33:38
financier to Sheik Hamden bin Mohammad al Maktoum, the Crown
33:43
Prince of Dubai, and shared the Prince's contact information with them.
33:47
The record show whether the Prince and the financier ever
33:51
spoke is unclear. Ben Suliman often kept Epstein abreast as
33:55
sensitive meetings between the United Arab Emirates and heads of
33:58
other countries, Vladimir Putin and Dmitri Medvedev of Russia. Binsuliam
34:04
stepped down from his post as dp's World chairman and
34:07
chief executive in February this year, following immense pressure regarding
34:12
his relationship with Epstein. Neither the Amoradi Embassy in Washington
34:17
nor DP World responded to The Herald's queries. The Herald
34:21
also attempted to reach Binsuliem through an email ID that
34:25
was released along with the records, but did not receive
34:28
any response. Among the last correspondents Epstein had about the
34:33
Middle East is a chat with far wright provocateur Steve
34:36
Bannon in June of twenty nineteen, they were discussing the
34:41
arrest of George Nader, a Lebanese American businessman and once
34:45
adviser to the UAE, for possession of child pornography. Can
34:50
you imagine, Epstein wrote, he Nader actually literally had pictures
34:55
of some kid effing a goat. What the fuck like?
35:00
What does that even mean? And I know Epstein likes
35:05
to embellish, but when we're talking about this part of
35:08
their world, I have questions. Epstein himself was arrested by
35:15
federal agents in New York just a month later on
35:18
sex trafficking charges. He was found dead on August tenth,
35:21
twenty nineteen, in a federal detention center in Lower Manhattan.
35:26
When we're talking about Epstein, we have to remember that
35:29
this guy was connected to a lot of powerful people.
35:33
And it wasn't just people in Israel or people in
35:35
the United States. We're talking about movers and shakers from
35:39
all over the world. So when I tell you that
35:41
Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking ring, his criminal empire stretch from continent
35:47
to continent, I'm not kidding you. And when we talk
35:51
about Jeffrey Epstein being a free agent and being somebody
35:54
that only cared about himself and his own wealth and
35:58
his own well being. I think that this this is
36:00
the kind of evidence that really slams it home because
36:03
at the end of the day, for Jeffrey Epstein, the
36:05
only thing that mattered was Jeffrey Epstein. All the information
36:11
that goes with this episode can be found in the
36:14
description box for one and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
36:18
In this look back episode, we're going to talk about
36:21
Jeffrey Epstein and the fake Saudi Arabian passport. Now, how
36:25
does a man get his hands on a fake passport,
36:28
and not only that, but a fake passport to Saudi Arabia.
36:32
Now it's one thing to have it in your possession, right,
36:34
it's a whole different story to actually use this passport
36:38
to gain entrance into the country. Now, obviously we know
36:43
that there's corruption in Saudi Arabia like everywhere else. But
36:47
my question is where is the robust investigation into Jeffrey
36:51
Epstein and his ties to Saudi Arabia. In this article
36:57
today from NBC News, we're going to talk about this
37:01
foreign passport and how Jeffrey Epstein used it to get
37:05
into Saudi Arabia. This article was authored by Tom Winter
37:10
and Rich Shapiro. Headline, Jeffrey Epstein used foreign passport with
37:15
fake name to enter Saudi Arabia. Jeffrey Epstein used a
37:21
foreign passport with a fake name to enter several countries
37:24
in the nineteen eighties, including the United Kingdom, Spain, and
37:28
Saudi Arabia. Federal prosecutors set on Wednesday. You know, imagine
37:34
having the access that this guy has already and then
37:37
saying to yourself, well, on top of that, I'm gonna
37:39
need me a fake Saudi passport to go along with
37:42
all of this so I can make my moves around
37:44
the world, eh, without anyone being the wiser. The real
37:48
question is where the hell did this guy get the passport?
37:51
Who hooked him up? Who was his contact? We know
37:54
this just doesn't happen in a vacuum, and we know
37:56
that it doesn't just you know, one day pop up
37:58
in the mail, Oh, the one the serial giveaway. Here's
38:02
your passport, tomorrow you get your decoder ring. We know
38:05
that none of that happened, So can we get a
38:07
real investigation please digging into this stuff, But of course
38:11
we won't. I think the ship has sailed, folks, Unfortunately,
38:14
when we look back in hindsight, they had a real
38:17
chance to really go after these people, a real chance
38:20
to do something good for once. But did they. They
38:25
sure didn't. Instead, we got what we got. We got
38:28
Jeffrey Epstein who dies in custody. We got Maxwell sitting
38:32
in a jail cell, which is great, but she didn't
38:35
spill any names. So we're basically at the very beginning
38:39
when it comes to finding out answers and getting to
38:43
the bottom of the mysteries surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and how
38:48
he was able to facilitate all of these incredibly hard
38:53
to get things such as an Austrian passport and a
38:57
passport from Saudi Arabia. The questionable travel document was found
39:05
inside a safe along with seventy thousand dollars in cash
39:09
and forty eight lose diamonds in the New York City
39:11
home of the wealthy financier and sex trafficker. It contained
39:16
a photo of Epstein with a different name and listed
39:19
his place of residence as Saudi Arabia. According to prosecutors, Now,
39:23
why in the world would Jeffrey Epstein want to say
39:27
he's from Saudi Arabia. Well, his lawyer goes on here
39:30
in a second to give us an explanation of why
39:33
Epstein had this passport. But I mean, come on, if
39:36
you or I were found with a fake passport, pretty
39:39
sure we'd be in gigantic trouble. But Jeffrey Epstein just
39:43
part of the other crimes that we won't look at.
39:47
We'll just arrest him for this crime, and then we
39:49
won't look at these other ones, especially anything that's financial.
39:54
Epstein's lawyers filed court papers Tuesday, claiming he obtained the
39:58
Austrian passport in nineteen eighty two for personal protection, to
40:02
be presented to potential kidnappers, hijackers or terrorists. The lawyers
40:07
said Epstein's Jewish faith and substantial wealth made him a
40:10
target while traveling in the Middle East. Wow, these people
40:14
have no shame, right, So every person who is of
40:17
Jewish faith should have themselves a fake passport? Is that
40:20
what you're trying to say here? How honestly, how can
40:24
a court even take that seriously? If I was the
40:27
judge and somebody turned that kind of nonsense into me,
40:30
it would be like you know, when you turn in
40:31
a bunk paper to your teacher, they take one look
40:33
at it and hand it back to you. That's how
40:35
it would be for me if it was if I
40:38
was the judge here, you're gonna haven me this bullshit?
40:41
What are you crazy? Nobody believes you, bro. There's no
40:45
way that you got that fake passport because you were
40:49
worried about hijackings and terrorism. Give me a break already,
40:56
But Wednesday prosecutors did just that. In fact, the past
41:00
contains numerous ingress and egress stamps, including stamps that reflect
41:04
use of the passport to enter France, Spain, the United
41:08
Kingdom and Saudi Arabia in the nineteen eighties. So we're
41:12
not talking about a knockoff passport here that you got
41:16
down at the swap meet, Okay, Jeffrey Epstein got this
41:19
passport from somebody who knows what they're doing, somebody who
41:23
knows how to make these sorts of things. Somebody knows
41:25
how to make these things at work. And my guess
41:27
is it was done with actual material from the passport people,
41:36
wherever the hell you get that from the Secret Service,
41:38
or wherever administers that over in Saudi Arabia, whoever they are,
41:41
So my guess is that's where Epstein got that from
41:47
prosecutors added that Epstein's lawyers have yet to explain some
41:50
of the basic questions concerning the passport, including how he
41:54
obtained it and whether he is a citizen of another country. Now,
41:58
during the belfaze for Jeffrey Epstein, that was very important, right,
42:03
They were trying to figure out if he was a
42:05
threat to run, a threat to go somewhere. And if
42:08
you're a citizen of another country or you have a
42:11
passport from another country, makes it a lot easier for
42:14
you to slip the noose and hit the bricks, right,
42:18
And that was one of the major reasons why Gallaine
42:21
Maxwell was forced to stay in prison while she was
42:24
awaiting sentencing. They thought that she was a flight risk
42:27
and with all of that money, well, they were not wrong.
42:32
Epstein's lawyers did not immediately return or request for comment.
42:35
The travel document has become a key component of the
42:38
government's argument for keeping Epstein locked up on charges alleging
42:42
he sexually abused dozens of underage girls in New York
42:46
and Florida between two thousand and two and two thousand
42:49
and five. Look, I find it gross anyway that that
42:52
was the scope two thousand and two and two thousand
42:54
and five. That's it. You guys could have went all
42:56
the way back to nineteen ninety three, but you only
42:58
go back to two thousand and two. Why who are
43:01
you guys protecting? And don't you want to blow the
43:04
doors off of this thing and really find out who
43:07
was involved? And I don't just mean Jeffrey Epstein and
43:09
Maxwell and all of the enablers. Who were they giving
43:12
these girls too? Where were these girls going? Who was
43:15
the purchaser of these girls or on the receiving end?
43:19
We don't talk nowhere near enough about that? Do we?
43:22
Very uncomfortable for the federal government. And I wish it
43:25
was a pathway that the legacy media was more willing
43:29
to tread upon, because I gotta tell you, folks, it's
43:33
a very very serious part of all of this. Prosecutors say.
43:39
It demonstrates Epstein's ability to obtain false travel documents and
43:43
underscores his serious risk of flight. They also pointed to
43:47
his extraordinary wealth, access to private planes, and limited family ties.
43:52
That's a fact too. When you don't have as much
43:54
family or no family, it's easier for you to kick
43:58
rocks and head out on the lamb, isn't it if
44:01
you have nobody to come back to, no mom, no dad,
44:04
no family that loves you, and the alternative of being
44:10
on the run is going to prison, then yeah, I
44:12
think you would definitely choose taking your fortune and trying
44:16
your luck. Because he knew that the time was over
44:19
for him. Jeffrey Epstein knew that he was all out
44:21
of get out of jail free cards, and as an asset,
44:24
he knows that he had been burned a long time ago.
44:27
So there was no more let me leverage my friendships,
44:30
There was no more. I better call me Alan Dershowitz.
44:34
All Epstein had left to him was going scorched earth
44:38
and ratting out everybody who was involved with them. So
44:41
you can see why people are skeptical when you say, oh, well,
44:44
Epstein killed himself, especially considering everything that we know leading
44:49
up to that. So while I'm not going to sit
44:52
here and argue to my death that Epstein was murdered,
44:56
I am more than willing to keep that option open
44:59
and and see where we go. Because anyone who says
45:03
that it's cut and dry what happened in that jail
45:05
cell probably has some kind of agenda that they're pushing.
45:12
Defense lawyers have asked the judge to allow Epstein to
45:15
remain at his seventy seven million dollar Manhattan mansion with
45:20
electronic monitoring as the case played out. Yeah, we know
45:23
how that worked out for him. Zero chance. Dude was
45:25
getting out of jail. Zero row chance. Okay, because guess what,
45:32
everybody knew what he was and the judge knew that
45:34
he was a flight risk and that he was going
45:36
to bounce. We all know he was gonna bounce. You
45:38
think he was going to sit around and take it.
45:39
With all that money, all that power, all those connections,
45:43
he was just going to sit there and not use
45:44
one of these passports and try and get out of dodge.
45:47
I'm sorry, I am not comfortable saying that he wouldn't
45:50
do that. This was a man that was willing to
45:53
go to any length to not only chase down his proclivities,
45:57
but to also make sure that he did what he
46:00
could to stay out of prison while doing it. A
46:04
judge is expected to issue a ruling on the bell
46:06
request on Thursday. Epstein, who is being held out of
46:09
federal prison in New York City, faces up to forty
46:12
five years in prison if convicted on charges of sex
46:15
trafficking and conspiracy. That's it, folks, forty five whole years
46:20
Maxwell facing eighty but Epstein only forty five. Ask yourself, why,
46:25
with all of the years that we have had, all
46:27
of the evidence that has been piled up as high
46:30
as Everest, you mean to tell me that all you
46:33
could get is a measly forty five for this scumbag.
46:37
I don't buy it. And again, this is the reason
46:40
why I have no faith in places like the SDN,
46:42
why and the Prosecutor's office. Sure they'll go after people
46:46
who don't have money to defend themselves, people like Khalif Browder,
