Norwegian Journalists And The Epstein Related Threat They Say They Faced · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: So, like I said, This article is from Sputnik News
• 0:04
  and the headline Norwegian journalists admit to receiving death threats
• 0:08
  after Epstein related articles. Again, the author of this article
• 0:13
  is Igor KU's Netsov. The Norwegian newspaper DN earlier revealed
• 0:21
  a close relationship between Turry rod Larsen and Jeffrey Epstein
• 0:25
  that included money, loans, donations, and debt, which ultimately led
• 0:31
  to rod Larsen's resignation and cast a shadow over the
• 0:34
  International Peace Institute he had been sharing as well. It
• 0:38
  should another one of these so called institutions that's wrapped
• 0:44
  up with Jeffrey Epstein, Another one of these so called
• 0:48
  places where people like this inhabit that has a relationship
• 0:54
  with Jeffrey Epstein. Folks, it goes deep. And this is
• 0:58
  just the stuff that's been on. Imagine all the stuff
• 1:02
  that has not been uncovered. Imagine all the stuff that
• 1:05
  nobody even knows about yet. And I am sure there
• 1:09
  are plenty and plenty and plenty more relationships that Jeffrey
• 1:13
  Epstein had with people in these sorts of positions that
• 1:17
  we don't know anything about. And hopefully, as this trial
• 1:22
  continues to get closer and there's more interest in this case.
• 1:28
  We'll get a little bit more of a deeper dive
• 1:30
  from the fourth estate and the clowns that inhabit it.
• 1:39
  After a number of publications about the relationship between disgraced
• 1:43
  financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Norwegian politician and
• 1:48
  former UN Secretary General Terry Rod Larsen, DN journalists have
• 1:55
  received death threats. I mean, really, it's like, I don't
• 2:01
  even understand any of that. At this point. The cat
• 2:05
  is out of the bag. Look, I get it when
• 2:07
  people are breaking news, like if you're breaking news about
• 2:11
  a case like this, or you're breaking news about a
• 2:14
  case like the Panama Papers or anything that is concerning
• 2:20
  elite or powerful, dangerous people, Yeah, that's that's dangerous water
• 2:26
  to be swimming in. But when you're just commentating on
• 2:29
  a story, when you're just following the story, well you
• 2:34
  shouldn't expect stuff like this, right, But I guess they
• 2:37
  were getting a little too deep. They might have they
• 2:40
  must have hit a nerve. They might have gotten to
• 2:42
  a point where people involved were getting very, very uncomfortable
• 2:47
  and they thought, hey, you know what, maybe maybe we'll
• 2:50
  rattle them out of their tree. Maybe we'll scare them
• 2:54
  a little bit. Let's send them a couple of messages.
• 2:59
  So it could be desperation as well. Right, people know
• 3:04
  that these journalists are getting too close. And even if
• 3:07
  the threats don't have any teeth, just the just just
• 3:10
  implying that the threat is there is enough to scare
• 3:13
  some people off. Journalists guard alter Holme and Tory Gerstad
• 3:21
  said an internal report they had received several threats by
• 3:24
  phone and email. I mean, really, by phone and email?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Don't people have anything else better to do? I mean, finally,
• 3:34
  some reporters are digging a little bit deeper in this case,
• 3:38
  and they're the ones who are getting the threatening phone calls.
• 3:41
  They're the ones who are getting the threatening messages. Funny
• 3:46
  how that works. In one of the telephone conversations, the
• 3:51
  voice allegedly said you are an e fing c And
• 3:55
  when I say see, I mean the word that you
• 3:57
  folks over the pond love to use so much. You
• 4:00
  have people coming after you. One of the emails said
• 4:03
  be prepared. I would be scared if I were you.
• 4:07
  Another one asked the reporter to send regards to a
• 4:10
  family member rus Bolton. The Lanisters send their regards. I mean,
• 4:18
  we've been through the ringer here of folks. Let's not
• 4:21
  forget the so called guy dressed up in the ninja
• 4:24
  outfit out in the bushes in front of Jeffrey Epstein's
• 4:26
  who was supposedly a Gambino made man. I mean, you know,
• 4:30
  I've heard a lot of far fetched fairy tales during
• 4:35
  our covering of this case, but that certainly was a zinger,
• 4:40
  and this is ringing of the same. In my opinion,
• 4:45
  I don't know if these threats have any teeth behind them.
• 4:48
  Obviously you got to take it seriously if you're a reporter,
• 4:51
  but would I would guess that it's probably somebody just
• 4:56
  trying to throw them off the trail, get them a
• 4:58
  little scared, have them, you know, focusing on other stories
• 5:03
  as opposed to this one. There were many phone calls
• 5:09
  with harassing content and then this email. And when a
• 5:13
  threatening person also involves family members, it makes the case
• 5:17
  extremely serious. DNZ News editor Johnny Yanni Johansen told The
• 5:23
  News Portal Media twenty four. The editor emphasized the seriousness
• 5:27
  of these threats. All right, hey, look they would know
• 5:29
  better than me, right, I'm just some some moron commentating
• 5:34
  on the story. You know, maybe these threats are credible, right,
• 5:38
  and again they definitely should be taken serious, as in,
• 5:42
  you know, if you're the person being threatened, I would
• 5:45
  always take it serious, to be honest with you, you never know. Look,
• 5:49
  we're in a world where there are extremely damaged people
• 5:55
  living amongst us. There are extremely broken people mentally that
• 6:01
  are sharing our airror that are around us all the time.
• 6:04
  I mean, just take a look at these people that
• 6:06
  go on these murdering sprees, shooters, people that stat whatever how,
• 6:11
  whatever method, and it's quite clear that there are a
• 6:16
  lot of people that need immediate mental help. We believe
• 6:27
  that threats like these are completely unacceptable and something we
• 6:31
  take very seriously. Working with sharp issues and covering conflict
• 6:35
  field issues is demanding in itself. No one should have
• 6:39
  to endure harassment and threats in connection with the journalistic work.
• 6:43
  Johanson said, Look, I agree with that. I you know,
• 6:46
  I totally agree with that. Nobody should be harassing anybody, Honestly,
• 6:50
  Nobody should be sending Maxwell's people of bazillion emails, none
• 6:54
  of that stuff. You want to talk about it, you know,
• 6:58
  it's on social media. Whatever, Yeah, cool, go for it.
• 7:01
  But in my humble opinion, I really don't see the
• 7:05
  point in harassing people and sending email and doing all
• 7:08
  of that jazz. It doesn't move the needle right you
• 7:10
  want to talk about it, Educate some more people about
• 7:13
  what's going on. Hell, start a podcast whatever it may be,
• 7:17
  a blog, whatever it is. But I think that's more
• 7:21
  of a productive outlet than firing off nasty, snarky emails.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Nevada State Bank has been serving Nevada's business communities for
• 7:29
  over sixty years. This full service bank understands the needs
• 7:32
  of Nevada businesses, taking pride and offering personalized banking services
• 7:36
  for every business owner, whether they run a small business
• 7:39
  or a large corporation. This is just one of the
• 7:42
  reasons why Nevada businesses trust Nevada State Bank for their
• 7:45
  financial needs. Learn more at nsbank dot com. Slash business.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Threats against journalists are ugly attempts to stop our critical journalism,
• 7:58
  and then it is all the more important that we
• 8:01
  continue to cover the events the way we would do otherwise.
• 8:05
  The revelations in this complex case and the consequences they
• 8:08
  have had are something we are very proud of. She said, Hey,
• 8:12
  good for you, and I'll always stand up and applaud
• 8:15
  anyone who's willing to take on the so called elite.
• 8:18
  It takes a lot of courage to get up there
• 8:21
  and write articles about these people. If it was easy,
• 8:27
  all of the scoundrels in the American legacy media would
• 8:30
  be doing it. But they, again, they can't be bothered.
• 8:33
  They have better things to do, like engage in tribalism.
• 8:39
  The newspaper string of revelations about the close relationship between
• 8:43
  Rod Larsen and Epstein have had repercussions both in Norway
• 8:47
  and internationally. When we were talking about this originally, I
• 8:51
  knew that this story was going to blow up. I mean,
• 8:54
  you have an ex head of the un involved with Epstein.
• 8:59
  Don't you think that this story deserves more play? And
• 9:01
  don't you think when you look at the whole big
• 9:04
  picture and you put all of those pieces together, it's
• 9:07
  almost impossible not to understand the scope of this at
• 9:10
  this point. And if you are engaging in that, you know,
• 9:14
  acting like nothing was going on here, like this is
• 9:17
  all overblown or anything like that, chances are you're engaging
• 9:21
  in cognitive dissonance at this point, because the evidence is
• 9:24
  there folks, anyone who's willing to see the evidence in
• 9:27
  this case, it's right there laid out for you. Again,
• 9:31
  this isn't a case that was happening two weeks ago.
• 9:35
  This has been going on for decades, and there is
• 9:38
  an ample paper trail to follow if the legacy media
• 9:44
  is willing to get into the muck. Dan earlier established
• 9:51
  that Rod Larson had borrowed money from the financier Pedophile
• 9:54
  in twenty thirteen, and that the New York based International
• 9:58
  Peace Institute, which he had chared between two thousand and
• 10:01
  four and twenty twenty, received donations from foundations affiliated with Epstein.
• 10:08
  And we know that hustle already right. Epstein would play
• 10:11
  the middle man. It would be his money, but it
• 10:13
  would go through somebody else. That way, they wouldn't have
• 10:16
  the stench of Jeffrey Epstein on them. But we're hip
• 10:19
  to that by now. And Lawrence Lessig and his op
• 10:26
  ed over at the Harvard Crimson yesterday pretty much just
• 10:30
  admitted the whole entire scam. Furthermore, Rod Larson personally owed
• 10:37
  Epstein one hundred and thirty thousand dollars, which he himself
• 10:41
  called a serious misjudgment. Again, folks, remember, of all the
• 10:45
  people in the world that this dude's hanging out with
• 10:48
  all the rich people in the world. Jeffrey Epstein's the dude.
• 10:51
  You go and get one hundred and thirty large from
• 10:54
  what Epstein's alone, shark. Now he's putting money out on
• 10:57
  the streets like he's Christopher Molta Santi. Give me a
• 11:02
  break with this guy. I swear when people are like
• 11:05
  you know, if I had a time machine, I'd go
• 11:07
  back to If I had a time machine, I'd go
• 11:10
  back to when this moron was teaching at Dalton and
• 11:13
  I'd out them then show up with all this evidence.
• 11:16
  Remember like back to the future when Biff showed up
• 11:19
  with the sports almanac. That's what I would do. I'd
• 11:22
  show up from the future with all of the news
• 11:23
  clippings and give them to the people at Dalton. Nip
• 11:28
  this shit right in the bud. I mean, enough is enough. Already,
• 11:36
  following the revelations, Rod Larson resigned as president of IPI
• 11:41
  and the Office of the Auditor General has opened a
• 11:43
  full investigation into the Foreign ministries relationship with IPI. So
• 11:49
  again we have another nation state opening an investigation to
• 11:53
  people who were involved with Epstein. And you know what happens,
• 11:57
  inevitably when these investigations get open, even when they're piss
• 12:01
  poor investigations, more is turned up. Look at leone Black.
• 12:09
  I know there's people that think that this dude is
• 12:11
  untouchable teflon Don style, but that is not the case.
• 12:14
  He's in serious jeopardy here, folks, serious jeopardy, especially considering
• 12:20
  that these prosecutors, well, they like to go after that
• 12:24
  big game, don't they. Rod Larsen is most known for
• 12:31
  his role in the negotiations that led to the Oslo
• 12:34
  Peace Accords in the nineties, which were the first ever
• 12:37
  agreements between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. So, for
• 12:44
  those of you who don't remember, that was some monumental
• 12:46
  stuff when that happened. I remember being real young, you know,
• 12:50
  just a little kid, twelve years old, thirteen years old,
• 12:53
  and I remember when the Oslo piece of chords were occurring,
• 12:57
  and it was a move the needle moment. It felt
• 12:59
  like right, two bad things just pretty much stayed the same.
• 13:07
  In nineteen ninety three, Rod Larson was appointed Ambassador and
• 13:10
  Special Advisor for the Middle East Peace Process to the
• 13:13
  Norwegian Foreign Minister and the following year became the United
• 13:18
  Nations Special Coordinator in the Occupied Territories. It makes me
• 13:23
  feel gross even saying that the occupied territories. I mean,
• 13:27
  we're talking about in Israel, the occupied territories. We're talking
• 13:31
  about Iraq, the occupied territories. I mean, take your pick
• 13:36
  of countries in the Middle East. At this point, this
• 13:41
  is not the first financial scandal involving Rod Larson. In
• 13:46
  nineteen ninety six, Rod Larson resigned as Deputy Prime Minister
• 13:50
  in the Jaglind Cabinet following revelations about his stock trading
• 13:55
  as he failed to claim a prophet of NKA six
• 13:59
  hundred thousand dollars. I think they're their money in uh
• 14:03
  Norway is called krollers, I believe, but six hundred thousand dollars,
• 14:08
  six hundred thousand of their dollars in Norway of the
• 14:10
  NK is sixty three thousand dollars in American on his
• 14:16
  tax return and avoided paying any taxes on it. Of
• 14:20
  course he did. All of these guys avoid paying their taxes.
• 14:23
  I'm sure all of you in America know what tomorrow is, right,
• 14:26
  that's right, pay the irs day. Everyone's favorite day, isn't it.
• 14:32
  But if you're rich, yeah, it doesn't matter. No big deal.
• 14:35
  That's not a day you care about because you're so
• 14:37
  busy using loopholes and avoiding your taxes throughout the year
• 14:40
  that when the time comes actually pay up. Eh, No
• 14:43
  big deal, You've already got the books cooked and the
• 14:46
  loopholes jumped through. However, following his resignation, he returned to
• 14:54
  the UN and again became Under Secretary General. Convicted se
• 15:00
  Fella Jeffrey Epstein was charged with human trafficking and sexual
• 15:03
  exploitation of miners, but died in a prison cell on
• 15:07
  the on August tenth, twenty nineteen, while awaiting trial on
• 15:11
  sex trafficking charges. Allegedly, dozens of women accused him of
• 15:16
  abusing them as miners. Epstein's partner and alleged co conspirator,
• 15:21
  fellow all around scusbag and child abuser, Keelaan Maxwell, currently
• 15:26
  stands accused of aiding and abetting the abuse. Oh end
• 15:30
  of par taking in that abuse as well. Let's make
• 15:33
  sure we drive that home at every single opportunity. As
• 15:38
