1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,919 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:02,919 --> 00:00:06,879 Epstein Chronicles. Over in the UK, things are still moving 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,880 when it comes to the Epstein investigation, as we're learning 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,720 that the police over in the UK have now set 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,239 up a new task force that is going to be 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,440 taking a look at possible exploitation and abuse by Jeffrey 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,920 Epstein and related to Jeffrey Epstein over in the UK. 8 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,199 And this is not the first task force that we've 9 00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:34,200 seen over in the UK related to Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, 10 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,000 back here in the good old United States, it's wall 11 00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:42,399 to wall coverage of the war, and unfortunately, I think 12 00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:46,399 that was the whole purpose. I know that sounds cynical 13 00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:50,840 and conspiratorial, and I can't prove it, but it's obvious 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,600 to me that these domestic issues played a gigantic part 15 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,880 in initiating that war. And the more the administration tries 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,399 to ignore this topic and the more they try to 17 00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,920 make us move on, the more convinced of that I am. 18 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,760 So today we have an article from the Deli Mail 19 00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:11,519 and the headline new police task force to investigate UK 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,400 exploitation and sexual abuse linked to Jeffrey Epstein. This article 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,680 was authored by Ryan Hooper. Police have stepped up their 22 00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:26,799 investigation into UK based sexual abuse allegations linked to Jeffrey Epstein. 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,760 Well look, there was a lot of talk and a 24 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,840 lot of allegations that were made over the years about 25 00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:37,480 the UK, and that's why when Scotland Yard the Met 26 00:01:37,519 --> 00:01:42,519 Police Department closed their investigation, I told you it was crazy. 27 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,200 There was plenty of evidence. The problem was they couldn't 28 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,400 expose that evidence without exposing Prince Andrew, and the Queen 29 00:01:50,519 --> 00:01:53,480 was just not going to allow it. But now that 30 00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:56,079 the Queen is gone and this ball has started rolling, 31 00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:58,200 I think we're going to see a lot more come 32 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,200 out about Prince Andrew and the bullshit he was up to. 33 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,959 Because if you think that it started and stopped with Virginia, 34 00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:09,639 you got another thing coming. Look at how emboldened he 35 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,560 was and look at how confidently he lied to everybody 36 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,960 during that BBC interview. This is a man that was 37 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,400 involved in all kinds of wild shit, whether it's financial, 38 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,599 whether it's passing confidential information, or whether it's engaging in 39 00:02:26,719 --> 00:02:30,919 abuse with Epstein or adjacent Tooham. This piece of shit 40 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,199 was doing it all and I really hope that this 41 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,400 task force is going to do the right thing and 42 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,199 really dig deep, because if they do, I think they're 43 00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:43,800 going to find everything they want and more detectives pouring 44 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,879 over the welter of material release by the US Department 45 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,199 of Justice have set up a Gold Group a specialists 46 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,280 to look in allegations of sexual offending, including abuse, exploitation, 47 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,199 and trafficking carried out in the UK. And if they 48 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,919 really dig deep here and they do a real investigation, 49 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,840 I think a lot of people are gonna get caught up. 50 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,319 And can we talk about the pilots please. These pilots 51 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,319 knew exactly what they were doing. A guy like Vasaski 52 00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:16,360 knew exactly what was up. We all read the deposition together. 53 00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:20,360 You heard what he had to say. Did you believe them? Well, 54 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,280 I'm sure you didn't because of the things he was 55 00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:26,360 saying were wholly unbelievable. And we know that now. And 56 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,039 how many of these people that gave depositions in the 57 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,120 past have now been shown to be liars due to 58 00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:36,120 the release of these documents. Has anyone been charged with perjury? 59 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,759 Has anybody been arrested? I bet you you would be 60 00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:43,280 go ahead and lie during a deposition and see how 61 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,479 quick you get charged with perjury. The pedophile financier had 62 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,199 links to the UK, including through the former Duke of 63 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,800 York Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, his wife Sarah Ferguson, and labor 64 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,400 grandee Peter Mandelsson, and is believed to have visited Buckingham 65 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:04,319 Palace and ten Downing Street, Let's not forget, had himself 66 00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:08,319 a nice little visit with Tony Blair himself. You see, 67 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,879 Epstein's not a new figurehead here. Epstein's been around these 68 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,639 people forever and he was accepted, not just around him, 69 00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:19,720 not just a hanger on, but a well respected member 70 00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:23,319 of their inner circle. And I think that's what people 71 00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:26,120 leave out of this story. Oh, Epstein was just a 72 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,680 great con man. No, he wasn't. That wasn't all he 73 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:34,639 was sure, that was part of it. But the truth 74 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,879 is a lot of these people they didn't have to 75 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:41,160 be conned. They walked into this with their eyes wide open, 76 00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:44,920 knowing exactly what they were getting into, and they just 77 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,079 thought they'd be protected. When you have a guy like Epstein, 78 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,240 with all of his contacts, all of his protections, of 79 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,279 course you feel like you're going to be protected as well. 80 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,279 And then you add to that we're talking about the 81 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,519 Prince of England. This dude never thought he was gonna 82 00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:03,839 get caught up. He died in prison in twenty nineteen 83 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,040 after being found hanged in his cell while awaiting trial 84 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,800 for child trafficking offenses. Around a dozen police forces in 85 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,959 the UK have already confirmed that they're looking into any 86 00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:19,120 potential crimes carried out on their patch linked Epstein. Well, 87 00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:20,680 I don't think it's going to be hard to find 88 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,360 people who were abused by Epstein over in the UK, 89 00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:28,279 even if it was just a transit point. There has 90 00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:31,240 to be a reckoning, right Who allowed it? Why was 91 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,560 Epstein allowed to move so unburdened through these airports? And 92 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,920 how come there weren't mechanisms there to stop them, especially 93 00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:42,040 after he was already a convicted sex offender. You think 94 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,759 you'd have more scrutiny, right, Oh, well, this guy's out 95 00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:47,680 here diddling kids come into our country. Man, maybe we 96 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,600 should tell him to fuck off In my best logan 97 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,720 Roy voice, fuck off is what I would say to him. 98 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,000 But no, somebody in the UK thought it would be 99 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,879 a good idea to continue to allow Epstein access. So 100 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,040 who was it and why? And now the National Group 101 00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:11,839 set up in February to support police forces with their investigations. 102 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,560 Has confirmed it's created a separate strand to focus solely 103 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,720 on violence against women and girls allegations, and I think 104 00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:23,240 that's a great move because if you're just focusing on 105 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,399 that strand and you're following that lead, then you're going 106 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:29,879 to have more people that are in the game, right, 107 00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,680 people that are actually looking for victims, people that are 108 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,439 looking for girls who might want to speak out. And 109 00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:39,319 I think a lot of these women that are going 110 00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,519 to come forward or maybe come forward are located over 111 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,199 in Europe. So I think it's important that we have 112 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,600 that kind of investigation going on, and we know we 113 00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:52,079 can't count on the United States to do it. And 114 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,399 it pains me to say that, it is unbelievably embarrassing 115 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,480 to say that, but here we are. They've approached potential 116 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,759 victims to share their accounts, including women who have previously 117 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,959 spoken to BBC Newsnight, Good Morning Britain. The group will 118 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,199 be chaired by Assistant Chief Constable Clare Bell, Deputy Director 119 00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:16,360 of the National Center for Violence Against Women and Girls 120 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,079 and Public Protection. So I'm not familiar with any of 121 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,439 these figures over in the UK, so I don't know, 122 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,319 you know about like political moves or anything like that, 123 00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:29,079 but I think it's a really good idea to have 124 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,879 a task force that is solely focused on girls who 125 00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:36,120 are abused. Considering our own DOJ has said there's over 126 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,120 a thousand, probably a good idea to figure out who's who, 127 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,759 who is abused where, and if anyone can be held accountable. No, 128 00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:47,879 it's going to prioritize identifying the scale, scope and nature 129 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:52,079 of any potential UK based defending within the files and 130 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,240 establishing a nationally coordinated and consistent approach to gathering and 131 00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:02,279 assessing intelligence. Acc Bell said policing operates locally, but must 132 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,639 remain nationally coherent, which is why the coordination group have 133 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,800 been established to ensure we're joining the dots as the 134 00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:14,639 public would expect. Working with the NCAA, we are reviewing 135 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,639 and assessing the published files. We have also reached out 136 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,800 to survivors who have shared their experiences with the media 137 00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:24,720 to invite them to speak to UK authorities should they 138 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,680 feel comfortable to do so. Police forces may receive direct 139 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,759 contact from potential victims and survivors reporting matters that are 140 00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:37,240 not contained in the EPSTEIN files. Release officers will listen 141 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:40,200 with care to anyone who takes a courageous step of 142 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,720 contacting us. Well, isn't that nice? This is what they 143 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,399 should have done years ago. If they were really serious, 144 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,679 they would have done it. But again it was all 145 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,519 about Andrew. Remember they were trying to protect the monarchy 146 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,080 and the Queen was alive at the time. So it's 147 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,240 not like Scotland Yard is going to go against the Queen, right, 148 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,519 not exactly something that they're apt to do, but in 149 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,200 this current environment, I would think that they're going to 150 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,080 charge hard and they're going to look deep because they 151 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,360 know right, they know that the people are watching, and 152 00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:18,000 there has to be some kind of accountability. Of course, 153 00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:22,000 the question is, like always, will it be real accountability 154 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,080 or just theater. She said that the police would be 155 00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:30,440 meticulous in its assessment of the files, which include more 156 00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:34,320 than three million documents and pictures released in tranches by 157 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,159 the US. She said the volume of material is significant 158 00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:41,240 and the detailed assessment of the files will take time, 159 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,120 which I fully appreciate can be both frustrating and traumatic 160 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,559 for anyone impacted. But it's crucial that we get this right. 161 00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:53,039 Taking a methodical and coordinated approach to safeguard the integrity 162 00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:57,480 of any potential investigation. Well, that's certainly something they should 163 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,559 keep in mind, because you want to make sure that 164 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,639 you're evident is usable, and if you're collecting it in 165 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,120 a way that's not going to stand up in court, 166 00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:09,879 well what's the point. So it's important that they do 167 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:13,320 the right thing, and hopefully they do. I hope that 168 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,919 they're going to go as hard as they can to 169 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,879 try and find people who are involved, because I think 170 00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:22,320 if they do that, they're going to hit pay dirt. 171 00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:25,799 Our priority throughout will remain the safety, well being and 172 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,759 confidence of the survivors. The VAWG Coordination Group will work 173 00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:35,879 alongside the NCAA and the Tackling Organized Exploitation Program and 174 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,759 draw upon the expertise of colleagues from HYDRANT, the CSE 175 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,879 Child Sexual Exploitation Task Force, and Operation Beaconport. Acc Bell added, 176 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,840 no single crime takes priority over another, and the establishment 177 00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:54,639 of the second group and investment in additional intelligence resources 178 00:10:55,159 --> 00:11:00,679 reflects the increasing complexity and sensitivity of these matters. Yo, 179 00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:03,399 it's so crazy that they're so late to the party. 180 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,000 If you would have just paid even a little bit 181 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,720 of attention previously, you would have known how bad things 182 00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:12,519 were in the UK and how Jeffrey Epstein was exploiting 183 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,759 girls by the dozen. Running in tandem, the group will 184 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,120 enable us to consider any and all potential offending and 185 00:11:21,159 --> 00:11:25,039 reaffirm our commitment to victims and survivors of abuse. We 186 00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:29,840 remain focused on protecting people and maintaining public confidence. US 187 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,399 lawmakers have repeatedly called for mister mount bat and Windsor 188 00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:37,720 to answer questions about his links to Epstein. He's denied 189 00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:42,039 any wrongdoing over his Epstein links. Pressures also mounting on 190 00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:46,320 Ferguson to testify in the US over her apparent friendship 191 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,039 with Epstein, although there's been no formal request for her 192 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,799 to do so. Files released by the Department of Justice 193 00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:57,399 in January revealed she remained in contact with the disgraced 194 00:11:57,399 --> 00:12:02,320 financier pedophile, including just seventeen days before his release from 195 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,559 a Florida jail for soliciting sex with minors. Last month, 196 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,639 both mister Mandelssohn and mister mount Batten Windsor were separately 197 00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:16,120 arrested by police in connection with the pedophile financier. They 198 00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:20,279 were both released under investigation. So what this tells me 199 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,039 is that things are advancing over in the UK, and 200 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,600 they're looking to open up a few more doors, so 201 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,440 we'll see what the UK comes up with and just 202 00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:35,639 how deep and how far this investigation goes. Until then, 203 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,039 that's going to do it for this one. All the 204 00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:41,279 information that goes with this episode can be found in 205 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,320 the description box.
