Summary
Whitney Webb is one of the world’s most fearless investigative journalists.
In this episode, we go deep into the truth about Jeffrey Epstein and the global criminal network that protects itself through blackmail, surveillance and systemic corruption.
This is not just about sex crimes. It’s about intelligence agencies, organised crime, arms trafficking, Silicon Valley and the politicians and billionaires who are all connected.
We cover:
– Why Epstein was never just one man
– How blackmail is still the backbone of global power
– The CIA, Mossad, and the myth of national security
– Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Leslie Wexner and the Epstein web
– Surveillance tech, Palantir and the war on privacy
– Why no one in power will ever be held accountable
– What we can still do: decentralisation, localism and the truth

| 0:53.3 | you know, 12 years after the fact and then wanted to rectify |
