Some new narrative beast is afoot regarding the Jeffrey Epstein disaster. Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal ran its second exposé piece in one week on the notorious deep-state pedophile and his compatriots, headlined “Jeffrey Epstein Documents, Part 2: Dinners With Lawrence Summers and Movie Screenings With Woody Allen.”
The sub-headline hints at the trove of documents the Journal has at its disposal: “Schedules and emails show deeper relationships between the disgraced financier and a range of prominent people, including the former Treasury secretary [Larry Summers] and the filmmaker [Woody Allen].”
But the whole thing smells like a psyop. Why? Here’s how the Journal described its evidence:
The documents reviewed by the Journal, which include thousands of pages of emails and schedules from 2013 to 2017, provide new details about the nature and frequency of Epstein’s contacts with an array of powerful people long after he was a registered sex offender.
The first unanswered question is, where did the Journal GET the “thousands of pages” of Epstein’s emails and schedules? And the second, even more important question is: WHEN did the Journal get them, and why is the paper running these stories NOW? The remarkable absence of these facts is some kind of clue; but a clue for what?
Just over a month ago, the Journal ran another story headlined, “Google Co-Founder, Other Billionaires Are Issued Subpoenas in Lawsuit Over JPMorgan’s Ties to Jeffrey Epstein.” The sub-headline identified four billionaires named in the Virgin Island subpoenas: “Sergey Brin [Google], Thomas Pritzker [Hyatt], Mortimer Zuckerman [news media] and Michael Ovitz [Hollywood] are asked for information in U.S. Virgin Islands’ civil suit against bank.”
The Journal was puzzled about the subpoenas since the billionaires aren’t parties to the action, but correctly explained that any relevant third party can be legally required to provide information in lawsuits. Spokespeople for Google (Brin), Hyatt (Pritzger), and U.S. News & World Report (Zuckerman) did not respond to requests for comment.
The whole thing is bizarre. When have you ever heard of a billionaire roundup like this? Ever, in your entire life? Why aren’t these well-connected billionaires able to keep control of the narrative? Why is the corporate media apparently targeting them?
That’s not all! On top of “part 2” of its exposé, yesterday the Journal ran ANOTHER story about Epstein, this one headlined, “Bill Gates, Leon Black, Thomas Pritzker: One Day in the Life of Jeffrey Epstein.” This one was sub-headlined, “The disgraced financier’s calendar for Monday, Sept. 8, 2014, details his planned meetings with some of the country’s richest men.”
On the Journal’s helpful infographic, we see two of the same names from the Virgin Islands probe: Pritzger and Zuckerman. And of course, everyone’s favorite WEF-loving villain, Windows BOB inventor Bill Gates.
Bill Gates, Thomas Pritzker, Leon Black and Mortimer Zuckerman were four of the richest men in the country. All of them meeting with a notorious convicted pedophile and deep-state kompromat collector, all in one day. According to the schedule, Gates tagged along with Epstein to the Pritzger, Black, and Ruemmler meetings.
Leon Black, who met with Epstein more than 100 times between 2013 and 2017 — at least twice a month on average — and who paid Epstein $158 million for “estate planning and tax work” — a laughable sum for those services — abruptly resigned as CEO of Apollo Global Management in early 2021.
Black declined to comment about the meetings, and Apollo firmly stated that Jeffrey Epstein was working ONLY for Leon Black, not Apollo Global Management. Definitely not. That would be gross.
Kathryn Ruemmler, who at the time of the meeting had just finished a stint as Obama’s top White House lawyer, “often” met with Epstein over the next few years, according to the Journal. A spokesman for Ruemmler said she regrets the meetings, but it was all business, related to a mutual — undisclosed — client.
Needless to say, Epstein didn’t do any REAL work. He was not actually a mastermind finance wizard. He was a sick S.O.B.
Ramsey Elkholy, next on the agenda, a well-connected musician who said he’d met with Epstein several times to get finance and book-publishing advice (for some reason), confirmed Epstein was intellectually useless. “In hindsight, I realize that Jeffrey was a very good con man,” Mr. Elkholy said. “He could give the impression that he was helping you when in fact he was mostly B.S.-ing.”
The final appointment of the day was with Barnaby Marsh, a “philanthropic advisor to wealthy families.” Sounds like a good gig, if you can get it. Marsh also (now) says Epstein was useless, that he never saw any evidence Epstein made significant charitable donations. “He was a lot of talk, but he never did anything,” Marsh complained.
The Journal helpfully included profile pictures for all the elites who met with Epstein. And if that weren’t enough, the Journal compiled ANOTHER helpful infographic showing how often they met with Epstein over a two-year period:
Billionaire Leon Black sure couldn’t get enough of whatever Epstein was selling him for $158 million.
So, over about 30 days, the Wall Street Journal has mysteriously outed all the following élites as being intimately connected to a man everyone knows was literally the Worst Person On Earth:
CIA chief and top spook William Burns;
former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak (36+ meetings);
former Israeli prime minister Shimon Perez (who introduced Barak to Epstein);
billionaire agricultural investor and medical philanthropist Bill Gates;
Private-equity billionaire Leon Black;
billionaire venture capitalist and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman,
hedge-fund billionaire Glenn Dubin;
Hyatt Hotel CEO and billionaire Tom Pritzger;
Hollywood super-agent Michael Ovitz (est. net worth $400M);
Bard College president Leon Botstein;
lefty academic superstar Noam Chomsky;
top Obama lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler;
former treasury secretary and Harvard president Larry Summers;
grotesque movie director Woody Allen;
Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen (involved with the Oslo Accords), a frequent sex-island visitor who loved gin with cucumbers;
MIT’s Media Lab director Joi Ito, a sex-island visitor who resigned from MIT in 2019;
Mary Erdoes, a top lieutenant to JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon;
John Duffy, director of JPMorgan’s U.S. private bank for the ultrarich;
Justin Nelson, one of Epstein’s special-asset bankers at JPMorgan; and
Jes Staley, former top JPMorgan executive.
That’s a long parade of horribles, and normally I wouldn’t bother filling up the roundup with boring lists of data like that, except that the reveal’s scope is literally breathtaking. The disclosure evidences something profound happening in the Narrative. That is a WHOLE LOT of highly-connected, well-protected people, whose reputations are significantly damaged by the Journal’s disclosures.
If nothing else, the public outing of their Epstein connections gives their enemies a lot to work with.
These stories remind me of Jesus’s observation that “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (Matt. 19:24). If being a billionaire means being spiritually sutured to someone like Jeffrey Epstein, I’m ecstatic I’m not a billionaire.
Looking at the list, and contemplating the significance of the Journal’s recent coverage, one’s mind naturally wanders toward to the much-maligned QAnon community. As best I can tell, the QAnon “movement” began with the “discredited” conspiracy theory that the world’s élites were packed to the rafters with Satanic pedophiles.
They aren’t looking so discredited now, are they?
I don’t know about you, but the Journal sure seems to be cramming a lot of stuffing into the whole QAnon thing, and doing it fast, which prevents the disgraced élites from organizing to shut it down. I am not naive enough to believe this suggests any kind of renaissance in real journalism. But.
Something else appears to be afoot. We don’t know yet. But it sure is interesting.
