Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Over in the UK, things are still moving
when it comes to the Epstein investigation, as we're learning
that the police over in the UK have now set
up a new task force that is going to be
taking a look at possible exploitation and abuse by Jeffrey
Epstein and related to Jeffrey Epstein over in the UK.
And this is not the first task force that we've
seen over in the UK related to Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile,
back here in the good old United States, it's wall
to wall coverage of the war, and unfortunately, I think
that was the whole purpose. I know that sounds cynical
and conspiratorial, and I can't prove it, but it's obvious
to me that these domestic issues played a gigantic part
in initiating that war. And the more the administration tries
to ignore this topic and the more they try to
make us move on, the more convinced of that I am.
So today we have an article from the Deli Mail
and the headline new police task force to investigate UK
exploitation and sexual abuse linked to Jeffrey Epstein. This article
was authored by Ryan Hooper. Police have stepped up their
investigation into UK based sexual abuse allegations linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
Well look, there was a lot of talk and a
lot of allegations that were made over the years about
the UK, and that's why when Scotland Yard the Met
Police Department closed their investigation, I told you it was crazy.
There was plenty of evidence. The problem was they couldn't
expose that evidence without exposing Prince Andrew, and the Queen
was just not going to allow it. But now that
the Queen is gone and this ball has started rolling,
I think we're going to see a lot more come
out about Prince Andrew and the bullshit he was up to.
Because if you think that it started and stopped with Virginia,
you got another thing coming. Look at how emboldened he
was and look at how confidently he lied to everybody
during that BBC interview. This is a man that was
involved in all kinds of wild shit, whether it's financial,
whether it's passing confidential information, or whether it's engaging in
abuse with Epstein or adjacent Tooham. This piece of shit
was doing it all and I really hope that this
task force is going to do the right thing and
really dig deep, because if they do, I think they're
going to find everything they want and more detectives pouring
over the welter of material release by the US Department
of Justice have set up a Gold Group a specialists
to look in allegations of sexual offending, including abuse, exploitation,
and trafficking carried out in the UK. And if they
really dig deep here and they do a real investigation,
I think a lot of people are gonna get caught up.
And can we talk about the pilots please. These pilots
knew exactly what they were doing. A guy like Vasaski
knew exactly what was up. We all read the deposition together.
You heard what he had to say. Did you believe them? Well,
I'm sure you didn't because of the things he was
saying were wholly unbelievable. And we know that now. And
how many of these people that gave depositions in the
past have now been shown to be liars due to
the release of these documents. Has anyone been charged with perjury?
Has anybody been arrested? I bet you you would be
go ahead and lie during a deposition and see how
quick you get charged with perjury. The pedophile financier had
links to the UK, including through the former Duke of
York Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, his wife Sarah Ferguson, and labor
grandee Peter Mandelsson, and is believed to have visited Buckingham
Palace and ten Downing Street, Let's not forget, had himself
a nice little visit with Tony Blair himself. You see,
Epstein's not a new figurehead here. Epstein's been around these
people forever and he was accepted, not just around him,
not just a hanger on, but a well respected member
of their inner circle. And I think that's what people
leave out of this story. Oh, Epstein was just a
great con man. No, he wasn't. That wasn't all he
was sure, that was part of it. But the truth
is a lot of these people they didn't have to
be conned. They walked into this with their eyes wide open,
knowing exactly what they were getting into, and they just
thought they'd be protected. When you have a guy like Epstein,
with all of his contacts, all of his protections, of
course you feel like you're going to be protected as well.
And then you add to that we're talking about the
Prince of England. This dude never thought he was gonna
get caught up. He died in prison in twenty nineteen
after being found hanged in his cell while awaiting trial
for child trafficking offenses. Around a dozen police forces in
the UK have already confirmed that they're looking into any
potential crimes carried out on their patch linked Epstein. Well,
I don't think it's going to be hard to find
people who were abused by Epstein over in the UK,
even if it was just a transit point. There has
to be a reckoning, right Who allowed it? Why was
Epstein allowed to move so unburdened through these airports? And
how come there weren't mechanisms there to stop them, especially
after he was already a convicted sex offender. You think
you'd have more scrutiny, right, Oh, well, this guy's out
here diddling kids come into our country. Man, maybe we
should tell him to fuck off In my best logan
Roy voice, fuck off is what I would say to him.
But no, somebody in the UK thought it would be
a good idea to continue to allow Epstein access. So
who was it and why? And now the National Group
set up in February to support police forces with their investigations.
Has confirmed it's created a separate strand to focus solely
on violence against women and girls allegations, and I think
that's a great move because if you're just focusing on
that strand and you're following that lead, then you're going
to have more people that are in the game, right,
people that are actually looking for victims, people that are
looking for girls who might want to speak out. And
I think a lot of these women that are going
to come forward or maybe come forward are located over
in Europe. So I think it's important that we have
that kind of investigation going on, and we know we
can't count on the United States to do it. And
it pains me to say that, it is unbelievably embarrassing
to say that, but here we are. They've approached potential
victims to share their accounts, including women who have previously
spoken to BBC Newsnight, Good Morning Britain. The group will
be chaired by Assistant Chief Constable Clare Bell, Deputy Director
of the National Center for Violence Against Women and Girls
and Public Protection. So I'm not familiar with any of
these figures over in the UK, so I don't know,
you know about like political moves or anything like that,
but I think it's a really good idea to have
a task force that is solely focused on girls who
are abused. Considering our own DOJ has said there's over
a thousand, probably a good idea to figure out who's who,
who is abused where, and if anyone can be held accountable. No,
it's going to prioritize identifying the scale, scope and nature
of any potential UK based defending within the files and
establishing a nationally coordinated and consistent approach to gathering and
assessing intelligence. Acc Bell said policing operates locally, but must
remain nationally coherent, which is why the coordination group have
been established to ensure we're joining the dots as the
public would expect. Working with the NCAA, we are reviewing
and assessing the published files. We have also reached out
to survivors who have shared their experiences with the media
to invite them to speak to UK authorities should they
feel comfortable to do so. Police forces may receive direct
contact from potential victims and survivors reporting matters that are
not contained in the EPSTEIN files. Release officers will listen
with care to anyone who takes a courageous step of
contacting us. Well, isn't that nice? This is what they
should have done years ago. If they were really serious,
they would have done it. But again it was all
about Andrew. Remember they were trying to protect the monarchy
and the Queen was alive at the time. So it's
not like Scotland Yard is going to go against the Queen, right,
not exactly something that they're apt to do, but in
this current environment, I would think that they're going to
charge hard and they're going to look deep because they
know right, they know that the people are watching, and
there has to be some kind of accountability. Of course,
the question is, like always, will it be real accountability
or just theater. She said that the police would be
meticulous in its assessment of the files, which include more
than three million documents and pictures released in tranches by
the US. She said the volume of material is significant
and the detailed assessment of the files will take time,
which I fully appreciate can be both frustrating and traumatic
for anyone impacted. But it's crucial that we get this right.
Taking a methodical and coordinated approach to safeguard the integrity
of any potential investigation. Well, that's certainly something they should
keep in mind, because you want to make sure that
you're evident is usable, and if you're collecting it in
a way that's not going to stand up in court,
well what's the point. So it's important that they do
the right thing, and hopefully they do. I hope that
they're going to go as hard as they can to
try and find people who are involved, because I think
if they do that, they're going to hit pay dirt.
Our priority throughout will remain the safety, well being and
confidence of the survivors. The VAWG Coordination Group will work
alongside the NCAA and the Tackling Organized Exploitation Program and
draw upon the expertise of colleagues from HYDRANT, the CSE
Child Sexual Exploitation Task Force, and Operation Beaconport. Acc Bell added,
no single crime takes priority over another, and the establishment
of the second group and investment in additional intelligence resources
reflects the increasing complexity and sensitivity of these matters. Yo,
it's so crazy that they're so late to the party.
If you would have just paid even a little bit
of attention previously, you would have known how bad things
were in the UK and how Jeffrey Epstein was exploiting
girls by the dozen. Running in tandem, the group will
enable us to consider any and all potential offending and
reaffirm our commitment to victims and survivors of abuse. We
remain focused on protecting people and maintaining public confidence. US
lawmakers have repeatedly called for mister mount bat and Windsor
to answer questions about his links to Epstein. He's denied
any wrongdoing over his Epstein links. Pressures also mounting on
Ferguson to testify in the US over her apparent friendship
with Epstein, although there's been no formal request for her
to do so. Files released by the Department of Justice
in January revealed she remained in contact with the disgraced
financier pedophile, including just seventeen days before his release from
a Florida jail for soliciting sex with minors. Last month,
both mister Mandelssohn and mister mount Batten Windsor were separately
arrested by police in connection with the pedophile financier. They
were both released under investigation. So what this tells me
is that things are advancing over in the UK, and
they're looking to open up a few more doors, so
we'll see what the UK comes up with and just
how deep and how far this investigation goes. Until then,
that's going to do it for this one. All the
