Missouri Reverend Suspended After Epstein Island Management Role Revealed · The Epstein Chronicles

  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. The last person to manage Jeffrey Epstein's island
• 0:10
  was also a pastor in Missouri, and now she has
• 0:15
  lost her position within her parish due to her relationship
• 0:19
  with Jeffrey Epstein. And according to the files that have
• 0:22
  been released already, she was mentioned eighteen hundred times. Now
• 0:30
  she says she saw nothing on the island that would
• 0:33
  even begin to cause her concern. Now, I have my
• 0:37
  doubts about that, but that's what she has to say. However,
• 0:42
  her congregation and the church that she was working for,
• 0:47
  they don't want to hear it. But that's not stopping
• 0:49
  Stephanie Remington, the pastor in question here, from doubling down.
• 0:54
  So today we have an article from the New York
• 0:56
  Post and the headline Missouri reverend suspended after being exposed
• 1:02
  as last manager of Jeffrey Epstein's private island. I never
• 1:07
  saw anything. No, of course, not nobody did. Every single
• 1:10
  time somebody is exposed as being somebody that was close
• 1:13
  to Epstein or in the middle of his bullshit, it's
• 1:17
  always the same story. Oh, I have no idea. I
• 1:19
  never saw anything. I thought everything was just normal. You know,
• 1:24
  this ugly mud of a man having all these girls
• 1:26
  around him, that's just normal stuff. This article was authored
• 1:31
  by Alex Olivieria, a Missouri pastor who briefly managed Jeffrey
• 1:35
  Epstein's private Caribbean island, was suspended from her job after
• 1:40
  her association was publicly exposed, with the reverend defending her
• 1:44
  decision to work for him despite knowing his criminal passed
• 1:49
  as a christly act. Oh yeah, that's exactly what Jesus
• 1:53
  would have done. Let's hang out with the child molester.
• 1:56
  Let's go and work for him. Look, I'm here to
• 2:00
  tell you that a lot of people out there are
• 2:03
  sitting at tables they should be flipping. And if Stephanie
• 2:06
  wants to take any advice from Jesus or follow his example,
• 2:10
  that's what she would have done. But no, she decided
• 2:13
  that going to Epstein's island and working for him was
• 2:16
  a great idea, even though she knew what he was.
• 2:20
  So again, I don't care about her reputation. I don't
• 2:23
  care that she's been forced out. And if I was
• 2:25
  part of her congregation, I would have demanded it. Reverend
• 2:31
  Stephanie L. Remington was suspended from Missouri's United Methodist Church
• 2:36
  last week, when leadership learned her name appeared more than
• 2:40
  eighteen hundred times in the trope of Epstein files recently
• 2:43
  released by the Department of Justice. UM News reported, and again, look,
• 2:48
  you could have got ahead of it right. Came out
• 2:50
  and talked to the press. Hey, I was the manager
• 2:52
  of the island. I don't know what was going on previously,
• 2:56
  but while I was there, nothing happened. I didn't see
• 3:00
  anything crazy, but instead they run from it, and they
• 3:04
  all thought that they were never going to be outed.
• 3:06
  And for somebody like Stephanie Remington, she came into Jeffrey
• 3:10
  Epstein's world after everybody knew what Epstein was, so there's
• 3:14
  no excuse. She saw dollar signs and that's what she
• 3:18
  went for. Pretty christly, huh. She wants to talk about
• 3:22
  being Christly and doing Christly acts. That doesn't seem to
• 3:26
  be one of them. Remington has not been accused of
• 3:29
  any crimes, and the Epstein files mentioned appeared to be
• 3:32
  mostly from communication about overseeing the Pedophilick financiers Little Saint
• 3:38
  James Island in the US Virgin Islands. It's about her
• 3:41
  choice to work for him. Anybody who chooses to work
• 3:47
  for Jeffrey Epstein after two thousand and eight deserves everything
• 3:52
  coming their way. You knew what he was, and you
• 3:56
  chose to work for him, work with them, because you
• 3:58
  knew that would benefit you. And now that the bill
• 4:01
  has come and doe, you all have a big problem
• 4:03
  and you're trying to run out of the restaurant. Not
• 4:06
  a chance. She worked for Epstein on his island from
• 4:09
  August twenty eighteen to May of twenty nineteen, leaving her
• 4:14
  role just weeks before is faithful July twenty nineteen arrest
• 4:18
  and suicide Alleged suicide demean a month later and insisted
• 4:23
  she never saw any nefarious behavior during her time. Look,
• 4:28
  everything that was happening on that island is all made up.
• 4:31
  What are you crazy? What are you some kind of
• 4:34
  conspiracy theorist. Now, of course, it's very possible that she's
• 4:38
  telling the truth and she didn't see anything untowards and
• 4:42
  by that time Epstein was, you know, doing what he
• 4:45
  was doing in more of a private manner, and maybe
• 4:49
  miss Remington wasn't one of his trusted kimpatriots. Very possible,
• 4:54
  and I'm not saying she did anything criminal. Her problem,
• 4:57
  of course, is associating with Epstein after the rest. And
• 5:02
  if she was just, you know, somebody working in the
• 5:05
  laundry room, it would be one thing. A pastor. Really,
• 5:10
  how are you going to attend to people's spiritual needs
• 5:13
  when your own spirit is obviously corrupt. I mean, she's
• 5:16
  not even remorseful that she did this. I never saw anything,
• 5:21
  Remington told um News. I knew him for the last
• 5:24
  nine months of his life, well after he served time
• 5:26
  for the things that he was accused of doing, not
• 5:28
  just accused of convicted of another apologist. And boy, is
• 5:34
  this story littered with them, A whole lot of people
• 5:37
  that want to make excuses for what Jeffrey Epstein was doing.
• 5:41
  And it's just crazy to me. Can you imagine making
• 5:44
  an excuse for this dude? But Remington was aware of
• 5:47
  Epstein's criminal history from ten years earlier two thousand and
• 5:51
  eight guilty plea for pro caring a child for a prostitution,
• 5:55
  which landed him just over a year in jail, and
• 5:58
  looked to her Christian teachings while apparently wrestling with whether
• 6:02
  to take the job. Oh yeah, I'm sure it had
• 6:04
  nothing to do with the money, right, nothing to do
• 6:07
  with the money. I had to take a look at
• 6:09
  my Christian beliefs. Does anyone really believe that somebody who's
• 6:14
  Christian and really Christian is going to work for somebody
• 6:18
  that has been not only accused, but convicted of hurting children?
• 6:22
  Does that sound logical to anybody out there, unless, of course,
• 6:26
  you don't care about the children, and all you care
• 6:29
  about is the bag. I felt that if I withheld
• 6:33
  relationship from this man because of his past, I would
• 6:36
  be turning my back on every message of hope. I
• 6:39
  have ever preached, every invitation to God's unconditional love. I
• 6:42
  have ever extended am I calling to be a healing
• 6:46
  presence in the world for all people. She wrote in
• 6:49
  a twenty nineteen personal blog post, Oh well, isn't that great?
• 6:54
  Aren't you just a gem? So you had to go
• 6:56
  and collect some money and work for them, and then
• 7:00
  you would forgive them. It's so dumb. The whole entire
• 7:04
  logic behind what she's saying is ridiculous and I don't
• 7:06
  buy it. Stop using your religion as a shield. And
• 7:13
  she doubled down on that position after her suspension. Jesus
• 7:16
  got into a lot of trouble for the company he kept,
• 7:19
  but he didn't let that trouble pressure him into rejecting
• 7:22
  the people who, by their standards, did not deserve to
• 7:25
  be human. She told um News. Wow, not a word
• 7:30
  about the survivors, not a word about the people who
• 7:33
  were harmed. But Jeffrey Epstein, Well, he's a great dude.
• 7:36
  And how dare you this woman comes off as one
• 7:39
  of them women who falls in love with a murderer
• 7:41
  and starts a correspondence with somebody like Brian Cooberger. That's
• 7:46
  the kind of vibe I'm getting. And imagine trying to
• 7:48
  frame Jesus as somebody that would be hanging out with
• 7:50
  child molesters. I have a hard time believing that social
• 7:55
  death is just another kind of murder. He opened his
• 7:58
  heart and his mind to them, and they open their
• 8:00
  tables and alabaster jars to him. She added, Is Jeffrey
• 8:04
  not among their kind? No, he's not. What sort of
• 8:09
  demented weird ass lady would say something like that. We're
• 8:14
  talking about a massive amount of lives being ruined, and
• 8:19
  I prefer to have the Old Testament view on that,
• 8:21
  you know, eye for an eye. Remington also said that
• 8:26
  Epstein was very kind to her when her father fell ill,
• 8:29
  a situation which led to her leaving the job. All, well,
• 8:33
  isn't that great. The son of the devil was nice
• 8:36
  to me, So that means that every siny he's ever
• 8:38
  committed is just wiped away clean. That was one of
• 8:43
  the topics discussed in emails back and forth with Ebstein
• 8:46
  and his staff revealed in the files, while others involved
• 8:49
  logistics about work being done on the Little Saint James House.
• 8:53
  Little Saint James was the nexus of much of Epstein's
• 8:56
  illicit behavior. Claims of child rape have surrounded the island
• 9:01
  while the pedophile routine. They flew rich and powerful people
• 9:04
  to the tropical getaway, and though Remington insisted she never
• 9:08
  experienced anything untoward on the island during the few months
• 9:12
  working there, Remington said Epstein would frequently brag about his
• 9:16
  connections to both Bill Clinton and President Trump. Well, yeah,
• 9:20
  for sure, there is no disputing that he was super
• 9:25
  close to both dudes. And make no mistake, Donald Trump
• 9:29
  and Bill Clinton they were friendly too, And my guest
• 9:32
  is they still are. Half of America wants to tie
• 9:37
  him to the Clintons. The other half wants to tie
• 9:39
  him to Trump. Remington told um News their hunch is correct,
• 9:43
  Jeffrey was very proud to have direct lines to all
• 9:46
  his presidents. Remington could face penalties within the United Methodist Church,
• 9:51
  with the probe investigating whether she followed rules requiring clergy
• 9:55
  members to inform leadership about the scope of their employment.
• 10:00
  She cannot be reached for comment. Well. I don't feel
• 10:03
  bad for her either, sorry, especially considering her doubling down
• 10:08
  on Jeffrey Epstein and how it's christy for her to
• 10:11
  hang out with him. And mind you, again, this is
• 10:13
  after everybody knew what he was, so she doesn't have
• 10:17
  that excuse. So I think that her church is in
• 10:21
  the right in suspending her. If her judgment is that bad,
• 10:24
  why would they want her representing them inside of a church,
• 10:28
  because I highly doubt that the congregation is going to
• 10:31
  be as forgiving towards Miss Remington as she was to
• 10:36
  Jeffrey Epstein. All the information that goes with this episode
