1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:08,560
We've talked quite a bit about Bill Gates and his

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,880
relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. However, we haven't really talked too

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,559
much about all of the think tanks that they were

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,359
involved with together. Now we've touched on this stuff and

6
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:24,239
recently we talked about the IPI. So this is an

7
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:26,920
episode where we're gonna add a little more context to

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,079
that and talk about how Jeffrey Epstein was helping to

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,679
facilitate all of these Bill Gates funded un affiliated think

10
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:39,960
tank projects. And then I want you to keep in

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,119
mind that Bill Gates has told us for how long

12
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:46,159
that him and Epstein weren't close. They were just, you know,

13
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:49,679
strangers in the night. All of the bs that we

14
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:53,560
know now is not true. Keep that in mind when

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,240
we're talking about this article. This article was posted by

16
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:04,560
the DN and headline behind the Scenes How Jeffrey Epstein

17
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,120
helped billionaire Bill Gates fund un affiliated think tank projects.

18
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:15,799
An investigative report by Norwegian business newspaper DN reveals how

19
00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:19,519
Jeffrey Epstein played a crucial role when Bill and Melinda

20
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:23,159
Gates Foundation gave grants to a un affiliated think tank.

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,959
This article was originally published on July tenth of twenty

22
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,920
twenty and the author of this article is Bill Barslitt.

23
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:39,200
October of twenty thirteen was an important month for the

24
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,920
un affiliated think tank International Peace Institute. Seven months since

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,480
meeting with Bill Gates, one of the richest people in

26
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,040
the world, two and a half million dollars was transferred

27
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,079
from Gates' philanthropic foundation to the think tank to fund

28
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:58,760
projects to eradicate polio. Eradicate polio. Huh, all right, I

29
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,719
guess that's what we're doing these days. And Bill Gates,

30
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:04,560
for a guy who's involved in computers, sure has his

31
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,359
fingers in many of these different pies when it comes

32
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,680
to viruses and stuff like that. I thought this dude

33
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:13,080
was like a computer programmer or some shit. I didn't

34
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,520
know he was a Dustin Hoffman's character from Outbreak. I mean,

35
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:22,520
for real, here's an idea. Stick to the computer stuff, Bill.

36
00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:25,960
Since the meeting in twenty thirteen, the Gates Foundation has

37
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,840
awarded IPI more than eight million dollars, and the foundation

38
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,719
has been identified as an important donor in the annual

39
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,120
report every year. Norwegian business newspaper dn can now reveal

40
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:44,439
correspondence that shows how the convicted financier pedophile Jeffrey Epstein

41
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,759
played an important role when the first millions of dollars

42
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:52,759
were transferred in October of twenty and thirteen. Now, remember

43
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:57,000
this is all after Jeffrey Epstein was already convicted. He

44
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,639
was already a convicted sex offender, and the instant International

45
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,120
Peace Institute, the UN, Bill Gates and all of the

46
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:08,400
rest of these bozos are still showing up with their

47
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:10,280
hat in hand trying to get some money from them,

48
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,240
and for Bill Gates to be trying to use that

49
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,639
as an excuse, Oh, I wanted to get money from

50
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:19,360
Jeffrey Epstein. Bro, you have more money than anybody. Why

51
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,199
are you out here trying to associate with a guy

52
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,960
like Epstein to get your hands on his dough? Use

53
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,599
your own money. Why do you need someone like Epstein?

54
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,280
It's just like Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. Why

55
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:35,159
the hell do you guys need money from Jeffrey Epstein

56
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,680
to get your shit off the ground. You have so

57
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:40,360
many rich people out there, so many people who would

58
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:43,680
donate to your cause, who would donate to your organization,

59
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,879
and you go to a guy like Epstein who's already

60
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,039
convicted as a sex offender, and then you expect nobody

61
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,719
to have any questions as to what you're doing now.

62
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:55,560
That might have tracked back in the day, that might

63
00:03:55,639 --> 00:03:58,240
have worked out then, but that's not gonna work anymore.

64
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,240
People are paying attention to what going on here, People

65
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,199
are watching what's going on here, and people are demanding answers. Now,

66
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,199
Epstein was notified today. A check is sent for two

67
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,519
and a half million dollars on October twenty third, Boris Nikolitch,

68
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:21,000
an advisor to Microsoft founder Bill Gates, sends an email. Now,

69
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,160
remember which is interesting, Boris Nikolitch was also one of

70
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:28,639
the executors of the estate. Well, he turned that down

71
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,639
in the wake of Epstein's death, but he's never really

72
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,279
explained why he would be called one of these executors.

73
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,800
There's never been any logical explanation of that. Epstein wouldn't

74
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,439
just make him an executor of his estate if he

75
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:45,879
didn't trust him, at least to a certain capacity, right, So,

76
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,800
what in the hell was Boris Nicolitch up to with

77
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,680
Jeffrey Epstein for all of these years that would make

78
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,560
him so confident that he'd have him as an executor

79
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:58,519
that's a whole last other story and the whole last

80
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:00,920
other episode, And in fact, we're going to do that

81
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:02,839
this week. We're going to talk a little bit more

82
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:09,199
about Boris Nikolitch. In the email, Nickeolicche asserts that two

83
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,360
and a half million dollars have been transferred to the

84
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,000
think tank IPI, and the foundation is preparing a check

85
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,560
for a further two and a half million dollars. I

86
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,480
am on it, Nikolicch writes of the outgo of the

87
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:26,199
ongoing fundraising. The recipient of the email, however, isn't someone

88
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,279
with an official position at the think tank. The email

89
00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:33,319
was sent to Jeffrey Epstein, who thus forwarded it forwards

90
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:36,839
it to Terry rod Larsen, the Norwegian president of the

91
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:40,319
un affiliated think tank. So you see what's going on here,

92
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,480
You see how this all works. All of these people

93
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,519
that were covorting with Epstein, all of these people who

94
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:50,279
want to tell us they weren't covorting with Epstein, they

95
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:53,560
don't have plausible deniability anymore, and they're going to have

96
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,079
to answer some questions at some point, at least you

97
00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:59,279
would think, right at some point, these people are going

98
00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:01,800
to have to answer for what they were up to

99
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,920
and the more we hear, the more we see, the

100
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,800
more it's obvious that there were a lot of very

101
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,759
very powerful people playing ball with Jeffrey Epstein and up

102
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,120
until he was arrested. These people, they tell you all,

103
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,199
we had no idea what he was doing. We didn't

104
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,079
know he was a monster. Okay, great, whatever, But after

105
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,519
the fact, what sort of excuse does Bill Gates have?

106
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:31,839
What sort of excuse does Rod Terry Larson have? And

107
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,759
what sort of excuse does the UN or the IPI have. Oh,

108
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,560
I can tell you that they don't have an excuse,

109
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,199
not one that you know treads any water. This is

110
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:52,240
inexcusable on both sides. This wasn't Epstein's only involvement. Two

111
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,240
weeks earlier, October ninth, he sent instructions to IPI President

112
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,399
Rod Larson, a former Cabinet secretary in Norway and UN

113
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,720
special envoy. That day, Epstein received an email IPI's then

114
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:09,120
finance director, David Wittet, sent to a grand administrator at

115
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,480
the Gates Foundation. It was forwarded to him by Rod Larson.

116
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,360
Epstein reacted strongly. Epstein was unhappy of the fact that

117
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,120
he had not seen the phrasing earlier and gave Rod

118
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:24,199
Larson clear instructions on how to communicate with the Gates Foundation.

119
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,920
So imagine you have Terry Rod Larson out here doing

120
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,800
Jeffrey Epstein's bidding like he's an underling, and then no

121
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,600
questioning of Terry Rod Larson, no real questioning. Oh okay,

122
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,079
he said he really didn't know him and this was

123
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:45,439
all just a big mistake. Let's move on from Jeffrey Epstein.

124
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,240
Sent Wednesday, October ninth, twenty thirteen, at six o eight

125
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:54,279
pm two, Terry Rod Larson, subject forward IPI requests for

126
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:59,399
general operating support. Do not send anything else anything without

127
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:04,000
letting me before it goes, not after. Please. The idea

128
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,680
that there is no accounting after months will present a problem. Yet,

129
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,079
no shit, mister money launderer McGee over here, is that

130
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,319
what they were doing? Were they laundering money here? Look,

131
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,040
I don't know, I'm asking the question. Was the IPI

132
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:20,879
used as some sort of front operation for Epstein to

133
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,279
filter money through? That's my guess, just like every other

134
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:28,759
foundation he was working with or for. Remember, everything for

135
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,679
Epstein was a consolidation of power, a consolidation of information

136
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,720
and money. And however he could do that he was

137
00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:38,159
going to do it. If you think he wasn't going

138
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,759
to manipulate a situation like this with powerful people, you're crazy.

139
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,519
The only reason he would be involved in this is

140
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,799
because he's getting something on the back end. Epstein's concerns

141
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,600
were forwarded by Rod Larson to Witt, who confirmed the

142
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:58,360
exchange to Dn pleaded guilty. The episode happened several years

143
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,200
after Epstein pleaded guilty to charges of soliciting prostitute a minor,

144
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:06,320
as well as paying compensation to a number of women.

145
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,120
A federal investigation had identified at least thirty six victims,

146
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,279
according to the Miami Herald, and we know it's a

147
00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:16,440
lot more than that now, but originally, even if it

148
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,960
was just thirty six, just thirty six, don't you think

149
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,159
that would be enough for you not to have a

150
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,759
relationship with this scumbag. As early as two thousand and six,

151
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,759
as the investigation of Epstein was underway, some politicians had

152
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:32,759
returned money from Epstein. Later in twenty eleven, Prince Andrew

153
00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:36,639
was criticized for maintaining a friendship with Epstein. Last year,

154
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,679
Prince Andrew stated he showed poor judgment. Yeah, talk about

155
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,720
you want to talk about understatements of the century. That's

156
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,080
certainly in the running, right. Ah, you know my relationship

157
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,039
with Epstein, you know, kind of roomed things in my life.

158
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:53,360
But you know, yeah, no shit, pal. Despite the verdict,

159
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:56,799
Epstein managed to re enter the elite after serving a sentence.

160
00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:00,000
Last year. The New York Times reported that he kept

161
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,559
being included among the powerful of New York City. Anchor

162
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:06,279
Katie Kirk and Woody Allen attended a dinner at his

163
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,840
home in twenty ten. The following year, he attended a

164
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,200
party together with, among others, Jeff Bezos and Deglon Musk,

165
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:19,559
founders of Amazon and Tesla respectively. Several notable institutions praised

166
00:10:19,639 --> 00:10:24,159
him and boasted of his achievements, including the prestigious Harvard University.

167
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:28,200
Must be nice. Uh, imagine running around doing all the

168
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,879
things Epstein was doing, but all of this still occurring

169
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,320
in your life after the fact. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk,

170
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:39,360
going to these dinners, going to the billionaire dinner. Meanwhile,

171
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,120
all of these people, what they're really doing is collectively

172
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,759
giving you, the public and especially the survivors, the double

173
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:54,080
middle fingers. Crown. Princess Meti, married of Norway, met Epstein

174
00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:58,879
several times between twenty eleven and twenty and thirteen. Last year,

175
00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:02,759
she apologized for not scrutinizing his past more thoroughly. Former

176
00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:06,600
Prime Minister kel Magne Bondevich of Norway met Epstein at

177
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,240
a dinner party in twenty thirteen, but declined to pursue

178
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,559
funding from Epstein, having found out about Epstein's past in

179
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,279
a Google search. So you tell me to tell me,

180
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,840
Princess Meti Merritt couldn't have done the same thing all

181
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:22,639
of them could all of them did. They didn't care.

182
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:26,000
That's what it comes down to. That's what it all

183
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,919
comes down to. They don't care, folks. They don't care

184
00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:31,480
about you, they don't care about me, and they certainly

185
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:36,840
don't care about these survivors. Epstein had been suspected of

186
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:39,440
a larger number of crimes then was included in his

187
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,559
plea deal. Last year, he was arrested in the US

188
00:11:42,919 --> 00:11:46,399
and charged with further crimes of trafficking and abuse. He

189
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,360
was never charged, as he died in custody in August

190
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:52,879
of twenty nineteen. Coroners found he took his own life.

191
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:55,480
Oh yeah, that's exactly what happened. A lot of evidence

192
00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:01,120
that points that way, not answering. Since Autumn twenty nineteen,

193
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,639
the Norwegian business newspaper DN has sent IPI numerous questions

194
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,879
regarding the think tank's relationship to Epstein. The only response

195
00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:13,639
has been short and the unsigned press release, published hours

196
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,720
after DN published the documentary in November of twenty nineteen.

197
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,639
In the articles, several links between Epstein and IPI were revealed,

198
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:25,639
among them a grant of three hundred and seventy five

199
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:31,879
thousand dollars from one of Epstein's foundations. Again, ask yourself,

200
00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:34,759
why was he collecting these scientists the way I collect

201
00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:38,080
sports cards? What did he hope to gain from having

202
00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:43,000
all of these scientists around him? In the press release,

203
00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:46,279
the think tank acknowledges the receipt of the grants, emphasizing

204
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,039
that it was lawful. Simultaneously, the think tank stated that

205
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,399
it would now make a donation of a similar amount.

206
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:56,240
No other connections were mentioned. You know they always whitewashed

207
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,120
their relationship afterwards, right, Ah, we really didn't know, We

208
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,919
had no idea. Epstein really had no part in what

209
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,320
we were doing. But the guy's money and his fingerprints

210
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:12,559
are all over this shit. Response from the Gates Foundation

211
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,200
Dean has also sent the Gates Foundation a number of questions.

212
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:19,840
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation works with the International

213
00:13:19,919 --> 00:13:24,440
Peace Institute, an organization dedicated to promoting peace and security,

214
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,200
to gather critical analysis that supports our efforts to improve

215
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:33,399
health in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Department of Communications wrote

216
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,399
in an email on Friday, September twenty fifth, while they're

217
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:40,080
doing a terrible job considering Pakistan and Afghanistan are both

218
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,799
on the brink. I haven't really done an update on

219
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,919
Afghanistan lately, but I have something in the works and

220
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,720
it's not good. And the same goes for Pakistan. There's

221
00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:55,000
so much turmoil over here and Bill Gates is going

222
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,679
to save them, really And after more questions, the Foundation

223
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:02,679
is now never had any financial dealings with Epstein. We

224
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,399
work with the International Peace Institute, a grantee that supports

225
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,159
our efforts to improve health in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Boris Nikolich,

226
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:14,240
the Gates advisor who emailed Epstein to let him know

227
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,919
the money was on its way to IPI, was appointed

228
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,480
the third in line executor for his estate after Epstein's death.

229
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,639
He denied his role. Oh, I'm sure he did, but

230
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:27,080
he wasn't denying all of this, then, was he? He

231
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:30,679
was facilitating all of these transactions, wasn't he? And again

232
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,240
you see why they don't want Rico. If this was Rico,

233
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:35,960
then all of these people who were getting money from him,

234
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,600
transferring money, receiving money, well it's all ill gotten and

235
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:44,519
they'd all be caught up in this. Nikolich has read

236
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:48,039
text messages regarding the story, but has not answered them.

237
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,799
Lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein's estate have not responded to Dan's

238
00:14:51,799 --> 00:14:57,000
inquiries about the case. Well, just another look, folks, at

239
00:14:57,039 --> 00:15:01,320
how Epstein was literally involved in every if there was

240
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,720
a power player on the board between those pivotal years

241
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,759
where he was in operation, he was rubbing shoulders with

242
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,799
him and Bill Gates. For all of his denials and

243
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,519
all of his apologies, he still hasn't explained correctly what

244
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:18,279
these dudes were up to. So until that happens, we're

245
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,559
going to continue to keep digging and we're going to

246
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:25,159
continue to connect these dots. If you'd like to contact me,
