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