1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,279 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:09,039 Epstein Chronicles. The last person to manage Jeffrey Epstein's island 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,039 was also a pastor in Missouri, and now she has 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,800 lost her position within her parish due to her relationship 5 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,399 with Jeffrey Epstein. And according to the files that have 6 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:30,199 been released already, she was mentioned eighteen hundred times. Now 7 00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:33,799 she says she saw nothing on the island that would 8 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,799 even begin to cause her concern. Now, I have my 9 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,920 doubts about that, but that's what she has to say. However, 10 00:00:42,119 --> 00:00:46,039 her congregation and the church that she was working for, 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,759 they don't want to hear it. But that's not stopping 12 00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:53,960 Stephanie Remington, the pastor in question here, from doubling down. 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,880 So today we have an article from the New York 14 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:02,880 Post and the headline Missouri reverend suspended after being exposed 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,959 as last manager of Jeffrey Epstein's private island. I never 16 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,560 saw anything. No, of course, not nobody did. Every single 17 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,640 time somebody is exposed as being somebody that was close 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,079 to Epstein or in the middle of his bullshit, it's 19 00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:19,760 always the same story. Oh, I have no idea. I 20 00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:24,280 never saw anything. I thought everything was just normal. You know, 21 00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:26,760 this ugly mud of a man having all these girls 22 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:31,000 around him, that's just normal stuff. This article was authored 23 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,920 by Alex Olivieria, a Missouri pastor who briefly managed Jeffrey 24 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,040 Epstein's private Caribbean island, was suspended from her job after 25 00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:44,760 her association was publicly exposed, with the reverend defending her 26 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:48,400 decision to work for him despite knowing his criminal passed 27 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,719 as a christly act. Oh yeah, that's exactly what Jesus 28 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,079 would have done. Let's hang out with the child molester. 29 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,799 Let's go and work for him. Look, I'm here to 30 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:03,079 tell you that a lot of people out there are 31 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,560 sitting at tables they should be flipping. And if Stephanie 32 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,039 wants to take any advice from Jesus or follow his example, 33 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,759 that's what she would have done. But no, she decided 34 00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:16,479 that going to Epstein's island and working for him was 35 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,280 a great idea, even though she knew what he was. 36 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,199 So again, I don't care about her reputation. I don't 37 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:25,840 care that she's been forced out. And if I was 38 00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:31,199 part of her congregation, I would have demanded it. Reverend 39 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,120 Stephanie L. Remington was suspended from Missouri's United Methodist Church 40 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,000 last week, when leadership learned her name appeared more than 41 00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:43,159 eighteen hundred times in the trope of Epstein files recently 42 00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:48,719 released by the Department of Justice. UM News reported, and again, look, 43 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,520 you could have got ahead of it right. Came out 44 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,840 and talked to the press. Hey, I was the manager 45 00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:56,000 of the island. I don't know what was going on previously, 46 00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:00,000 but while I was there, nothing happened. I didn't see 47 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,000 anything crazy, but instead they run from it, and they 48 00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:05,639 all thought that they were never going to be outed. 49 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,360 And for somebody like Stephanie Remington, she came into Jeffrey 50 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,960 Epstein's world after everybody knew what Epstein was, so there's 51 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,800 no excuse. She saw dollar signs and that's what she 52 00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:22,560 went for. Pretty christly, huh. She wants to talk about 53 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,000 being Christly and doing Christly acts. That doesn't seem to 54 00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:29,719 be one of them. Remington has not been accused of 55 00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:32,840 any crimes, and the Epstein files mentioned appeared to be 56 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:38,080 mostly from communication about overseeing the Pedophilick financiers Little Saint 57 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:41,719 James Island in the US Virgin Islands. It's about her 58 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,479 choice to work for him. Anybody who chooses to work 59 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,199 for Jeffrey Epstein after two thousand and eight deserves everything 60 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,159 coming their way. You knew what he was, and you 61 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,719 chose to work for him, work with them, because you 62 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,039 knew that would benefit you. And now that the bill 63 00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:03,400 has come and doe, you all have a big problem 64 00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:06,080 and you're trying to run out of the restaurant. Not 65 00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:09,599 a chance. She worked for Epstein on his island from 66 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:14,000 August twenty eighteen to May of twenty nineteen, leaving her 67 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,000 role just weeks before is faithful July twenty nineteen arrest 68 00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:22,959 and suicide Alleged suicide demean a month later and insisted 69 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,160 she never saw any nefarious behavior during her time. Look, 70 00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:30,759 everything that was happening on that island is all made up. 71 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,839 What are you crazy? What are you some kind of 72 00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:38,560 conspiracy theorist. Now, of course, it's very possible that she's 73 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,519 telling the truth and she didn't see anything untowards and 74 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,600 by that time Epstein was, you know, doing what he 75 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,319 was doing in more of a private manner, and maybe 76 00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:53,680 miss Remington wasn't one of his trusted kimpatriots. Very possible, 77 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,079 and I'm not saying she did anything criminal. Her problem, 78 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,319 of course, is associating with Epstein after the rest. And 79 00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:05,000 if she was just, you know, somebody working in the 80 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,800 laundry room, it would be one thing. A pastor. Really, 81 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,000 how are you going to attend to people's spiritual needs 82 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,040 when your own spirit is obviously corrupt. I mean, she's 83 00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:20,839 not even remorseful that she did this. I never saw anything, 84 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,959 Remington told um News. I knew him for the last 85 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,560 nine months of his life, well after he served time 86 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,800 for the things that he was accused of doing, not 87 00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:34,000 just accused of convicted of another apologist. And boy, is 88 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,120 this story littered with them, A whole lot of people 89 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,439 that want to make excuses for what Jeffrey Epstein was doing. 90 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,560 And it's just crazy to me. Can you imagine making 91 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,480 an excuse for this dude? But Remington was aware of 92 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,199 Epstein's criminal history from ten years earlier two thousand and 93 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,279 eight guilty plea for pro caring a child for a prostitution, 94 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,600 which landed him just over a year in jail, and 95 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:02,279 looked to her Christian teachings while apparently wrestling with whether 96 00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:04,680 to take the job. Oh yeah, I'm sure it had 97 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,279 nothing to do with the money, right, nothing to do 98 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,000 with the money. I had to take a look at 99 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,800 my Christian beliefs. Does anyone really believe that somebody who's 100 00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:18,360 Christian and really Christian is going to work for somebody 101 00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:22,639 that has been not only accused, but convicted of hurting children? 102 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,240 Does that sound logical to anybody out there, unless, of course, 103 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,000 you don't care about the children, and all you care 104 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,439 about is the bag. I felt that if I withheld 105 00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:36,519 relationship from this man because of his past, I would 106 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,000 be turning my back on every message of hope. I 107 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,920 have ever preached, every invitation to God's unconditional love. I 108 00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:46,240 have ever extended am I calling to be a healing 109 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,199 presence in the world for all people. She wrote in 110 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,759 a twenty nineteen personal blog post, Oh well, isn't that great? 111 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,920 Aren't you just a gem? So you had to go 112 00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:00,560 and collect some money and work for them, and then 113 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,040 you would forgive them. It's so dumb. The whole entire 114 00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:06,920 logic behind what she's saying is ridiculous and I don't 115 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:13,040 buy it. Stop using your religion as a shield. And 116 00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:16,680 she doubled down on that position after her suspension. Jesus 117 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,920 got into a lot of trouble for the company he kept, 118 00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:22,279 but he didn't let that trouble pressure him into rejecting 119 00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:25,279 the people who, by their standards, did not deserve to 120 00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:30,079 be human. She told um News. Wow, not a word 121 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,120 about the survivors, not a word about the people who 122 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,079 were harmed. But Jeffrey Epstein, Well, he's a great dude. 123 00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:39,000 And how dare you this woman comes off as one 124 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,639 of them women who falls in love with a murderer 125 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,120 and starts a correspondence with somebody like Brian Cooberger. That's 126 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,319 the kind of vibe I'm getting. And imagine trying to 127 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,639 frame Jesus as somebody that would be hanging out with 128 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,480 child molesters. I have a hard time believing that social 129 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,079 death is just another kind of murder. He opened his 130 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,480 heart and his mind to them, and they open their 131 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,680 tables and alabaster jars to him. She added, Is Jeffrey 132 00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:09,000 not among their kind? No, he's not. What sort of 133 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,480 demented weird ass lady would say something like that. We're 134 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,959 talking about a massive amount of lives being ruined, and 135 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,120 I prefer to have the Old Testament view on that, 136 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,519 you know, eye for an eye. Remington also said that 137 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:29,120 Epstein was very kind to her when her father fell ill, 138 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,399 a situation which led to her leaving the job. All, well, 139 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:36,000 isn't that great. The son of the devil was nice 140 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,639 to me, So that means that every siny he's ever 141 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,120 committed is just wiped away clean. That was one of 142 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,039 the topics discussed in emails back and forth with Ebstein 143 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,360 and his staff revealed in the files, while others involved 144 00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:53,039 logistics about work being done on the Little Saint James House. 145 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,840 Little Saint James was the nexus of much of Epstein's 146 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,519 illicit behavior. Claims of child rape have surrounded the island 147 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,240 while the pedophile routine. They flew rich and powerful people 148 00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:08,600 to the tropical getaway, and though Remington insisted she never 149 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,159 experienced anything untoward on the island during the few months 150 00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:16,039 working there, Remington said Epstein would frequently brag about his 151 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,360 connections to both Bill Clinton and President Trump. Well, yeah, 152 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:25,360 for sure, there is no disputing that he was super 153 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,159 close to both dudes. And make no mistake, Donald Trump 154 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,120 and Bill Clinton they were friendly too, And my guest 155 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,639 is they still are. Half of America wants to tie 156 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,759 him to the Clintons. The other half wants to tie 157 00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:43,240 him to Trump. Remington told um News their hunch is correct, 158 00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:46,679 Jeffrey was very proud to have direct lines to all 159 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,240 his presidents. Remington could face penalties within the United Methodist Church, 160 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,639 with the probe investigating whether she followed rules requiring clergy 161 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,360 members to inform leadership about the scope of their employment. 162 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,480 She cannot be reached for comment. Well. I don't feel 163 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,840 bad for her either, sorry, especially considering her doubling down 164 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,000 on Jeffrey Epstein and how it's christy for her to 165 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,879 hang out with him. And mind you, again, this is 166 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,679 after everybody knew what he was, so she doesn't have 167 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,000 that excuse. So I think that her church is in 168 00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:24,440 the right in suspending her. If her judgment is that bad, 169 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,559 why would they want her representing them inside of a church, 170 00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:31,639 because I highly doubt that the congregation is going to 171 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,720 be as forgiving towards Miss Remington as she was to 172 00:10:36,799 --> 00:10:40,919 Jeffrey Epstein. All the information that goes with this episode 173 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,399 can be found in the description box.
