This one's kind of short and sweet.

This is an article written by someone ironically named Edward J. Epstein, and in this article he writes...
Colin BrowenHOST
13:38
I had gone that evening with the British businessman Jimmy Goldsmith and his 35-year-old daughter Isabel to a Halloween party at the Upper East Side home in Manhattan of Coco Brown, a movie producer who rarely, if ever, made a movie.
Colin BrowenHOST
13:52
Soon after our arrival, a young man in his mid-30s with a big, toothy smile sauntered up to us, hugged Isabel, and introduced himself as Jeffrey Epstein.
Robin ZanderHOST

Interestingly, this book was published in the 80s, and he said the collapse of the De Beers empire is imminent, it's happening any day now in the 80s.

From Confer, by 1973 Oppenheimer Industries accounted for 10% of South Africa's gross national product and 30% of its exports.
Robin ZanderHOST
62:44
But the reach of De Beers, of this conglomerate of organizations, reached well past South Africa's borders.
Robin ZanderHOST
62:53
A De Beers engineer put it plainly in Edward J. Epstein's The Rise and Fall of Diamonds.
Robin ZanderHOST

Botswana today, for example, drags more than 50% of its national income from diamonds, manganese, and copper mines, controlled by Harry Oppenheimer.
Jason BermasGUEST

It wasn't just that business relationship.
Jason BermasGUEST

And like you said, you go back to the 9/11 era, one of the things that we do know is that J. Edward Epstein, no relation to Jeffrey, who's, like, a longtime journalist, and kinda like an I- I- Israeli media propagandist in the sense that when I did fish out some video of J. Edward Epstein, the person who was putting together the Shadow 9/11 Commission, and asked Ghislaine Maxwell to be a part of it, I found a video of him, I think it was on PBS's Frontline, where there had just been an assassination in the Middle East in a hotel that was clearly the IDF and the Mossad.
Jason BermasGUEST
37:42
Like, everybody on the panel except for J. Edward Epstein agreed, and then you look into it, and it was 100%, like it was admitted later, you know how they run the ops of, "Oh, there's some doubt, and we don't really know," and then a year and a half go by, and then it's like, "Oh yeah, obviously it was the Mossad." They had video of this, by the way, inside the hotel, and they're showing it.
Jason BermasGUEST
38:02
So then I look into J. Edward Epstein's past, and he had been one of those guys kind of riding the fence on JFK and what happened there, and whether or not it was an intelligence operation, and went with most of the official story, but then also, I believe he wrote books on James Angleton, you know, somebody very much involved in the military industrial complex, the CIA, all that.
Jason BermasGUEST
38:27
And then I actually fished out the website from archive.org that he had built for his Shadow 9/11 Commission, and J. Edward Epstein had actually questioned some of the things regarding the hijackers and whether or not they had tried to train with crop dusters, some of the stories that maybe weren't making too much sense, but still going in line with the official version of 19 hijackers with box cutters, et cetera.
Jason BermasGUEST
38:53
So he was a really interesting character, and to reach out to Ghislaine Maxwell to be part of this behind the scenes, and we don't know any of the other members, you know, I think that was a big issue.
Jason BermasGUEST
39:05
And, you know, Ghislaine Maxwell, when you think about narrative management and the connections she might have, you really have to go to her father, who obviously we now know was a multilevel spy, not just Mossad, not just British intelligence, but they've now done specials about the KGB, and he ran a media empire, right? Like, this guy literally was the Rupert Murdoch of his day in the UK, and him and Murdoch would kinda, like, butt heads too, you know? They were in competition with one another.
Richard GroveHOST
10:39
So the guy who was the counter espionage spy hunter, catch the mole, is the mole, and there's a lot of evidence that...
Richard GroveHOST
10:46
Now, uh, Angleton had a biographer called Edward J. Epstein.

He's all through the reason that they made that.
