Jeffrey Epstein’s Post-Conviction Reinvention Through Global Institutions (Part 1) (5/11/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. Over at Fortune dot com, they have a
• 0:08
  new article out and in that article, they're diving deep
• 0:11
  into how Jeffrey Epstein leveraged his friendship and his ties
• 0:17
  to Bill Gates and the un to help control the
• 0:20
  women in his orbit. And this is a pretty extensive article,
• 0:25
  so we're going to do it in a couple of parts.
• 0:28
  So with that said, I'll keep my winging to a
• 0:31
  minimum and we'll dive right in. This article was published
• 0:34
  by Fortune dot Com and the headline how Jeffrey Epstein
• 0:37
  leveraged a prestigious, un affiliated nonprofit and the Gates Foundation
• 0:42
  to control women and keep them in his orbit. This
• 0:46
  article was authored by Jessica Matthews. On September twelfth, twenty fifteen,
• 0:52
  more than three dozen health experts and diplomats assembled at
• 0:55
  the Palace the Nations, the United Nations European headquarters in Geneva,
• 1:01
  for a day long conference on preparing for pandemics. The
• 1:05
  biobook for the event, hosted by the International Peace Institute
• 1:09
  and acclaimed think tank affiliated with the United Nations that
• 1:12
  works to settle and prevent armed conflicts, and was run
• 1:16
  by one of the key architects of the Oslo Accords,
• 1:19
  was a who's who of health experts and policymakers. Scheduled
• 1:23
  attendees and speakers included the Director General of the World
• 1:26
  Health Organization, president of the Institute of Medicine, the President
• 1:31
  of the National Academy of Medicine and associate director of
• 1:34
  the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and a senior
• 1:38
  executive from the Gates Foundation, the philanthropic institution that at
• 1:42
  the time made up some of twenty percent of IPI's contributions.
• 1:47
  So as you can see a very very formidable force,
• 1:53
  a group that has a lot of sway, a group
• 1:56
  that has a lot of pull, and a group that's
• 1:58
  backed by a lot of powerful, rich people. And that
• 2:03
  was the exact kind of environment where Jeffrey Epstein thrived.
• 2:08
  Among the attendees that gathered that morning at the Palace
• 2:12
  for the discussion was Feltlana puss Adiva, who by her
• 2:16
  own admission, had no expertise in epidemiology or foreign aid.
• 2:20
  Puss A Diva, a former Russian model who was then
• 2:23
  thirty one, had been so called assistant to Jeffrey Epstein
• 2:27
  for about five years she had shown up to the
• 2:29
  event wearing a dress Epstein had bought her in Paris
• 2:33
  and instructed her aware, and that was his ZMO right.
• 2:37
  He would have these women show up at these conferences,
• 2:40
  these science fairs, whether they were accompanied by him or not,
• 2:44
  and the hook would be set. The only question would
• 2:48
  be who was going to take the bait, And unfortunately,
• 2:51
  for a lot of these scumbags, they all did. I mean,
• 2:54
  the number of these people that were in business with
• 2:56
  Epstein is absurd. The number of people that we taught
• 3:00
  talk about that should have been caught up in a
• 3:01
  Rico case absurd. And I'm never going to stop talking
• 3:05
  about it, because if it was you or me, or
• 3:08
  anyone you cared about Rico, forget it. Under the prison
• 3:12
  sending you to Florence, that's how serious they take it usually.
• 3:18
  I mean, for wire fraud alone, you're looking out what
• 3:20
  a twenty piece And of course they were committing wire
• 3:24
  fraud on a regular basis. Never mind the structuring, never
• 3:27
  mind the immigration fraud. If you don't even believe the trafficking,
• 3:31
  what about all that other stuff, What about all of
• 3:34
  the other criminality that was occurring in Jeffrey Epstein's orbit
• 3:38
  amongst all these people. Does that not matter? Because I
• 3:41
  assure you it matters to me. In an interview with Fortune,
• 3:45
  Posadaiva said that Epstein had told her she would be
• 3:48
  working closely with both the International Peace Institute and the
• 3:51
  Gates Foundation to orchestrate the whole event. I'll be in
• 3:54
  the middle of it, helping coordinate the whole project. That's
• 3:57
  how he positioned it to me. She said, Well, yeah,
• 4:02
  Epstein's going to sell you rainbows and sunshine, but what
• 4:04
  he delivers is nothing but a storm, and on paper
• 4:09
  that seemed true. Terry Rod Larson, who was then CEO
• 4:13
  of IPI, would go on to sign a personal recommendation
• 4:16
  letter for a POSA Divas via application, a copy of
• 4:19
  which emerged in the Epstein files earlier this year, stating
• 4:23
  that she held an active and lead role coordinating follow
• 4:26
  up meetings for the event and that without her extraordinary efforts,
• 4:30
  the fundraising would not have reached the levels it reached.
• 4:33
  Immigration fraud that's all it is. That's all it was,
• 4:36
  that's all it ever will be, and nobody talks about
• 4:39
  it like it's no big deal. But it's one of
• 4:40
  the key elements of trafficking. So for all the people
• 4:43
  out there that don't believe it was trafficking, sit down
• 4:46
  and shut up already. In fact, why don't you do
• 4:49
  us all a favor and go talk about the new
• 4:51
  shiny object aliens. You know, the same people who don't
• 4:55
  believe the Epstein stuff all of a sudden believe that
• 4:58
  the aliens or demons and their com here from another dimension.
• 5:02
  Fuck out of here with all of that you want demons,
• 5:04
  We're talking about him right here. And this is about
• 5:06
  what the tenth fifteenth time that there is proof that
• 5:09
  there was immigration fraud going on that nobody ever cared about,
• 5:12
  nobody ever investigated, nobody ever went to prison for. How
• 5:16
  was Epstein able to manipulate that? Who in the government,
• 5:19
  the State Department was helping him out? I guess we'll
• 5:23
  never know, right because we're just gonna move on. Hey,
• 5:25
  have you heard about the four foot green men that
• 5:27
  came here from planet Neptar? In hindsight, pos A Diva
• 5:31
  now sees the IPI job Epstein routed to her as
• 5:35
  one of the hooks he used to keep me around,
• 5:37
  yet another promise of career opportunities she could only obtain
• 5:40
  through him that ultimately never materialized. Pos A Diva's experience
• 5:46
  was part of a larger pattern. Yet that's how they
• 5:48
  controlled things. How many people have to come out and
• 5:52
  tell you that. How many more people have to come
• 5:54
  forward and say, yeah, this is what was happening. He
• 5:56
  would take our passport, they would take our you know,
• 5:59
  immigration paperwork, and we'd be basically slaves. Epstein introduced IPI
• 6:06
  to the Gates Foundation in twenty thirteen, closely advising IPI
• 6:10
  employees on what to say and how to obtain the
• 6:13
  initial five million dollar donation to IPI, and working beyond
• 6:16
  the scenes with an advisor to then Microsoft chairman Bill
• 6:19
  Gates to stimulate interest and speed up the process. Remember
• 6:24
  when Bill Gates said he had nothing to do with
• 6:25
  Epstein and that the only kind of contact they had
• 6:28
  had to do with philanthropy. Now, I know this is
• 6:31
  going to come as a shock to you, but Bill
• 6:33
  Gates is a liar. He lied then and he's still
• 6:35
  lying now. The Gates Foundation would become extraordinarily significant donor
• 6:43
  relationship for the next three years, with the IRS record
• 6:46
  showing that donations from the Gates Foundation made up more
• 6:49
  than twenty percent of IPI's annual donations. Between twenty thirteen
• 6:55
  and twenty fifteen. And I'm sure that all of that
• 6:58
  money was coming from legitis. I'm sure that none of
• 7:01
  that money came from laundering or human trafficking or insert
• 7:05
  scam here. And it's wild to me that Bill Gates
• 7:07
  actually thought that he could get away with it, that
• 7:10
  he could just you know, rewrite history and try and
• 7:13
  rebuild and rebrand his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein when the
• 7:16
  evidence is right here. Epstein would also be involved in
• 7:20
  gifts totaling nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars from private
• 7:23
  equity titan Leon Black to IPI. In return, Epstein used
• 7:27
  leverage he garnered with IPI's leadership to offer jobs or
• 7:31
  secure US visa recommendation letters for at least four women
• 7:34
  in his orbit. And I'm sure he was just bringing
• 7:36
  them over because he's a good guy, right, just wanted
• 7:39
  to help them out. I'm doing this for the betterment
• 7:42
  of humanity. I'm just an altruistic guy, and I want
• 7:45
  to make sure that everybody has a shot. Emails released
• 7:49
  by the Department of Justice earlier this year, alongside Posadiva
• 7:53
  and another assistance personal accounts show while Epstein used and
• 7:56
  leveraged the brands of a respected thing tank and one
• 8:00
  of the most important philanthropic institutions in the world as
• 8:03
  instruments to control and traffic women, all while he was
• 8:07
  already known to be a registered sex offender. Except where
• 8:10
  otherwise noted mentions of emails, text messages, and documents refer
• 8:14
  to items released publicly by the DOJ. So nothing's going
• 8:19
  to happen, unfortunately. But there's ample evidence of a large
• 8:23
  scale immigration fraud operation, and nobody's ever dug deep into that.
• 8:29
  Nobody's ever looked into that with the sort of rigor
• 8:31
  that it deserves, And anytime you talk about it, all
• 8:35
  you get is a half assed answer, Oh, well, you know,
• 8:39
  it wasn't a ricocase, so they didn't even look at that. Well,
• 8:42
  that's part of the big problem, right, that it wasn't
• 8:44
  a RICO case from the very beginning. How many more
• 8:46
  elements do we need to see to prove to everybody
• 8:49
  out there that this was a criminal enterprise. Again, even
• 8:53
  if you don't believe that Jeffrey Epstein was involved in
• 8:56
  large scale blackmailing of people, large scale you know, trafficking children,
• 9:01
  how can you deny the criminality of the empire that
• 9:04
  he was running, and the fact that people are so
• 9:06
  willing to overlook that to try and push a narrative
• 9:08
  that Epstein's a hoax. It's very telling. After his two
• 9:12
  thousand and eight conviction for soliciting an underage woman for
• 9:16
  prostitution a child, Epstein began recruiting young looking foreign women
• 9:20
  over the age of eighteen who were abroad or already
• 9:23
  within the US. Remember how I told you that he
• 9:27
  changed it up. This is what they're talking about. Epstein
• 9:30
  wasn't a dumb person, vile, disgusting, gross, not dumb, not
• 9:36
  when it comes to this shit. Bro knew what he
• 9:38
  was doing and he was good at it. But the
• 9:41
  thing is he couldn't do it alone. He needed help.
• 9:44
  And all those people, vast majority of them, are still
• 9:47
  roaming the streets free. Epstein began recruiting them on the
• 9:51
  promise of jobs, education, and career opportunity, a pattern documented
• 9:55
  by women, and there are personal accounts in several lawsuits
• 9:58
  in the years since died by suicide, allegedly in a
• 10:02
  jail cell, often referring to them as his assistants. Epstein
• 10:06
  helped them to obtain visas and pay for their accommodation, clothing,
• 10:10
  and education, later demanding gratitude and obedience to his commands
• 10:15
  and conveying that they owed him for his generosity. If
• 10:18
  that's not a human trafficking ring, I don't know what is.
• 10:22
  So can we dispel the myth that Epstein wasn't doing this?
• 10:26
  He most certainly was, And as much as we've talked
• 10:29
  about it, the scale is so much larger than we
• 10:33
  even know. Sometimes he would pay for or demand that
• 10:38
  they recruit other women. Many of these assistants were from
• 10:41
  Russia or Eastern Europe, some of them poor and still
• 10:44
  learning English, and they became dependent on Epstein for visas, housing,
• 10:48
  and money. Several of the assistants, including Posadaiva and another
• 10:52
  who shared her personal account with Fortune, say they were
• 10:55
  repeatedly sexually abused by Epstein during the course of their
• 10:59
  time in his work. That was part of the job.
• 11:03
  Oh I'm gonna hook you up, but you got to
• 11:05
  do X, Y and Z for me and maybe my buddies. Hey,
• 11:10
  go see leon. Hey, why don't you come over and
• 11:12
  give so and so a massage? Oh you don't want to,
• 11:15
  Well maybe just maybe I'll lose your immigration paperwork And
• 11:18
  then what Epstein had complete control of these women, over
• 11:23
  every decision they made, whatever they did, wherever they went,
• 11:26
  it was up to Epstein, and all of it was
• 11:28
  rooted in fear of what Epstein would do if they
• 11:31
  said no. Epstein's regular engagement with politicians and tech executives,
• 11:36
  and his affiliation with prominent institutions like the International Peace
• 11:40
  Institute or the Gates Foundation legitimized Epstein, according to Posadiva,
• 11:46
  and made her hesitant to question whether the career opportunities
• 11:49
  he was offering were real or not. That certainly played
• 11:52
  a part. And when we talk about refurbishing and building
• 11:56
  Epstein's reputation up, this is what I mean. If all
• 12:00
  these quote unquote legitimate people are around them, accepting them
• 12:04
  and being part of his little crew, then some foreign
• 12:07
  girl from Russia or insert Eastern European country here isn't
• 12:11
  going to know any better what we were gonna blame her.
• 12:15
  It was normalized, she was groomed, she was brought over,
• 12:18
  and this is supposedly the way that life goes if
• 12:21
  you're one of Epstein's people. Meanwhile, what was happening issue
• 12:25
  was kept in human captivity. And I know people don't
• 12:28
  want us hear it, but it's the truth. Being able
• 12:33
  to meet tech executives or prime ministers when you come
• 12:36
  from a small country or from Russia or Ukraine, it
• 12:39
  changes your perspective. She says. If someone like this comes
• 12:42
  to Epstein's house, maybe it's me who doesn't understand something here.
• 12:46
  And that's what it comes down to. When it's normalized
• 12:48
  by everybody around you, then it's normal. Another former assistant,
• 12:54
  who Fortune is referring to as Marna, in an effort
• 12:56
  to protect her identity from becoming known, pulled Fortune in
• 12:59
  an interview that Epstein's proximity to important people and witnessing
• 13:03
  him leverage those relationships as if they owed him something,
• 13:07
  made the threats he made or the stories he told
• 13:10
  all feel equally true. For a foreign woman in her
• 13:14
  twenties with limited English, that framing was very powerful. She
• 13:17
  said it made him seem untouchable. In response to the
• 13:22
  comment for this story, an IPI spokesperson said in a
• 13:25
  statement that the think tank continues to be very troubled
• 13:28
  by the documents released recently by the US Department of
• 13:31
  Justice relating to Jeffrey Epstein, and that, in joint with
• 13:35
  those around the world who have expressed solidarity with the
• 13:38
  survivors of Epstein's wrongdoing. Yeah, the crimes and wrongdoings that
• 13:43
  you helped perpetuate, that's what you're talking about, because that's
• 13:48
  what happened. People like you giving Jeffrey Epstein credibility and
• 13:52
  this veneer of armour that led directly to Epstein doing
• 13:55
  what he did for so long. IPI is aware of
• 13:58
  the connection that once existed between Epstein and IPI's former president,
• 14:02
  Terry Rod Larson, a connection IPI acknowledged in twenty twenty
• 14:06
  when it announced mister Larson's resignation. IPI no longer has
• 14:11
  contact with mister Larson or his executive staff, the statement said.
• 14:16
  The Gates Foundation said in a statement that the harm
• 14:18
  Epstein inflicted on women and girls was horrific and no
• 14:22
  one should ever have to experience what they did. It's
• 14:25
  deeply troubling. Without our knowledge, Epstein used the Gates Foundation's
• 14:29
  name the further his agenda. What did you think was
• 14:32
  going to happen? You didn't come into this blind. This
• 14:36
  man was already a convicted sex offender. Why are you
• 14:40
  at his house? Why are you looking for charity from him?
• 14:42
  Why are you doing anything with him. There's been no
• 14:47
  evidence suggesting that Rod Larson was personally involved in abusing
• 14:50
  any women himself, nor that he was aware that Epstein
• 14:53
  was abusing the women he helped procure jobs and visas.
• 14:56
  Four Okay, sure if you say so, law firm representing
• 15:01
  Rod Larson pointed Fortune to statements it's issued in recent
• 15:04
  weeks on Rod Larson's behalf, including from his lawyer John
• 15:08
  Christian Elden, who said earlier this year that Rod Larson
• 15:12
  has previously expressed regret for his association with Epstein and
• 15:16
  has clearly distanced himself from Epstein's actions. He has expressed
• 15:20
  deep sympathy for those affected and acknowledges that, in hindsight,
• 15:24
  he should have exercised greater caution. A representative for Black
• 15:28
  did not respond to Fortune's requests for comment. All right, folks,
• 15:32
  we're going to wrap up episode one right here, and
• 15:34
  in the next episode, we're going to pick up where
• 15:36
  we left off. All the information that goes with this
• 15:40
  episode can be found in the description box.
