In this post Thanksgiving show I talk about the now infamous BBC interview Prince Andrew gave on Jeffrey Epstein. I also touched on the latest news story claiming that Ghislane Maxwell will “reveal” everything.
This weeks episode marks not only the 200th episode of PPR but also the start of my show hiatus while I work on my Epstein book. For this momentous occasion I had two good friends of the show join me. In the first hour Robbie Martin and I talked about the return of Qanon as well as the rebranded 8kun image board. We discussed the series of cryptic messages that Q has recently posted and how this has been interpreted by his followers. Robbie and I focused on the cult-like devotion that the Q followers have for their mysterious guru. We also touched on how the Q community has continued to influence the mainstream discourse. Robbie talked about the current Trump look back investigation into the origins of RussiaGate, and how this demonstrates the power of this conspiracy theory. We briefly touch on Tulsi Gabbard’s recent bump in the polls and her continued charade as an anti-war candidate.
In the second hour Ed Opperman joined me to talk about the subject that first brought us together four years ago, the Jeffrey Epstein case. Ed and I talked about the recent Project Veritas “bombshell” report, which features ABC’s Amy Robach on a hot mic talking about the outlet spiking her Epstein report. We talked about how this is not neither new news and how this adds nothing to the discussion of Epstein and his crimes. Ed also gave us an insight into the nasty world of criminal justice. We looked at the criticism of people like Lisa Bloom, as well as the good versus evil mentality that many have when it comes to this case. Ed also talked about the media’s continued campaign of misinformation on Epstein and his conspirators. We discussed the idea that the media is still actively protecting those who knew about Epstein’s crimes, including people like Donald Trump and Bill Clinton. Later Ed touched on the coordinated meme-wars on social media related to Epstein. We focused on the #EpsteinCoverup and #EpsteinDidntKillHimself hash tags on Twitter and elsewhere.
This very late bonus podcast is all about my current writing process for my Epstein book. I also touch on the recent conspiracy catnip that has been in the media regarding Epstein.
This is a special PPR update regarding some important changes to the show. I will be taking a break from the live show to work on my Epstein book. I will continue to do me regular guest spot on The Ochelli Effect and the PPR Bonus Podcast. Please listen for more information.
This week @Gumby4Christ joined me to discuss Jeffrey Epstein. We focused primarily on the media’s handling of the scandal, and the role they continue to play in covering up the scope of the scandal. Gumby and I talk about the strange behavior of the NY Post coverage since Epstein’s death. Gumby discussed the now infamous photo of Ghislane Maxwell at In-N-Out Burger. He talked about why the Post ran such a dubious photo and how this confused the public. Later we explored how many media outlets and journalists seem to be re-writing their own histories covering Epstein. We looked at one NPR segment that garnered a lot of attention. Gumby and I discussed NPR’s reliance on journalist John Connolly and how that raises serious red flags. We talked about the contradictory story that Connolly seems to spinning regarding Vicky Ward, Graydon Carter, and Epstein.
In the second hour we continued our look into the media and their handling of the Epstein saga. We looked at the NYT’s coverage over the years starting with Landon Thomas Jr. and his almost glowing profiles. We also touched on a recent NYT “The Daily” podcast which featured Maria and Annie Farmer. We looked at how Les Wexner was seemingly erased from Farmer’s story. We round out the episode by looking at the curious case of NY Post reporter Larry Celona, his connections to Stanley Kubrick, and how this factors into the conspiracy culture’s theories on Epstein. We closed out by talking about Steve Bannon and his insertion into the Hong Kong Protests.
This week I started off the first hour by ranting about the media coverage the Epstein Saga has received in the alternative and mainstream. I talked about the way we are deliberately being distracted with stories that either go nowhere or push extremist ideologies. I focused particular attention on the photo of Ghislane Maxwell at In-N-Out Burger which appears to have either staged or photoshopped. The troubling theory describing Epstein as part of the global Zionist conspiracy is discussed. I also took calls from listeners.
In the second hour Robbie Martin joined me to continue and expand this conversation. We looked at the way the conspiracy culture has approached this story. Robbie and I discussed the possibility that what we are seeing now is a limited hangout, designed to control the narrative and ensure that those involved are protected. We talked about why it took so long for the FBI to raid Epstein’s house in the Virgin Islands and if that was designed to ensure that information was destroyed. Later Robbie talked about his theory that Donald Trump may have been involved in his own blackmail operation through the use of his hotels. We finished off the conversation with a look at how Trump has utilized Qanon in the past months, becoming an active participant in the cult like group.
As the Jeffrey Epstein narrative continues, Verizon Fios reporter, Dominic Carter, questions the validity of the suicide ruling. As a New York journalist, Dominic is very familiar with the facility where Epstein was held.
Israel sparring with Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib has amplified tensions. In this fiery segment, author, Dr. Jane Ruby and national co-director at Code Pink, Ariel Gold, give us a strong right and strong left perspective, respectively, on the appropriateness of Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump’s behaviors.
There are protests happening all over the world, simultaneously. Bob Schlehuber, producer of ‘By Any Means Necessary,’ shares live audio from the streets of Hong Kong. Over the weekend, Portland, Oregon hosted an alt-right, Proud Boys demonstration and Antifa turned out. ‘Loud and Clear’ producer Nicole Roussell attended the event and reports what she experienced.
Lately, Pearse Redmond, host of Porkins Policy Radio, has focused his journalism on Jeffrey Epstein’s affiliates. Pearse shares his findings and begins piecing together the big picture, contributing to Lee Stranahan and Whitney Webb’s research.
NOTE: I have removed this episode because I no longer stand by it. I spoke about this and the problematic reporting in a bonus podcast with Aaron Franz. You can call me a shill for Israel or a Zionist. I do not believe that there is a global Jewish conspiracy and I regret having promoted work that skews in that direction.
These are the recently unsealed documents in the Giuffre v Maxwell suit. They were unsealed by order of the 2nd Circuit. I will update this if and when more documents become available.
