On this, the return edition of Parallax Views, independent journalist Pearse Redmond of Porkins Policy Review joins us once again for the latest in the sordid saga of Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire sex offender with associates in the highest positions of wealth and power. Pearse famously joined us for a two-part deep dive into the dirty details of the Epstein case in September of 2018 (see episodes 29 and 30). Fast-forward to July 2019: Epstein has been arrested in New York on federal charges of sex trafficking and his sordid saga has broken into the mainstream consciousness. This episode touches on a number of the new developments in the case such as the Palm Beach Police Department’s PR crisis in relation to the work-release program they gave Epstein, grifting “journalist” Mike Cernovich inserting himself into the latest arrest, the decoy passport authorities found in Epstein’s New York mansion, claims of intelligence agency ties to Epstein, the mainstream and alternative media’s approaches to the story, Epstein’s movements in Hollywood after 2008, and much, much more. It’s a jam-packed return for Parallax View that runs over 2 hours dealing with a case that could crack open the taboo discussion about how the wealthy and power wield undue influence in society.

Porkins Policy Radio episode 182 Call in show on Sudan uprising, 9/11 exploitation, Assange and more

April 17, 2019 – 3:31 pm

This week I opened up the phone lines and did a call in show. We had friend of the show Jon Gold call in to discuss the recent attacks on Ilhan Omar and the continued exploitation of 9/11 trauma. Jon talked about the recent spate of politicians and media figures invoking 9/11 and the “Never Forget” mantra to score political points. Later Kai called in to talk about the political situation in Sudan. We discussed the recent coup which has removed long time leader Omar al- Bashir, and the grassroots protest movement that fomented this change. Kai and I touched on the lack of overt western interference in Sudan and speculated on what this may mean. We also touched on the politics of water and the importance of the Nile River. Kai also talked about the background role that Israel and the Gulf are playing in Sudan.

Friend of show JG Michael of Parallax Views also called in to discuss Julian Assange and the strange media fascination with the Notre Dame fire. JG and I touched on why we dislike Assange but also fear the repercussions of extraditing him and the threat to journalism that it poses. I rounded out the show by talking with listener Thor in Switzerland. We discussed the role that private finance and corporations are playing in Africa and the negative effect they can have. Thor and I also touched on the concept of micro-financing. I finish the show by answering some listener questions from good friend of the show Curtis.

Parallax Views Ep. 67: Jeffrey Epstein Update & the Cindy Yang Scandal w/ Pearse Redmond

March 13, 2019 – 6:59 pm

On this edition of Parallax Views, Porkins Policy Review’s Pearse Redmond rejoins the show to discuss recent developments in the case of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein (see eps. 29 & 30) and the recent prostitution scandal that ties together New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, seedy-massage-parlor-owner-cum-MAGAhead Cindy Yang, and Donald Trump.

The conversation begins with Pearse and I discussing how the Jeffrey Epstein case has gone mainstream. We talk about the work Pearse as well as previous guest and friend of the show Ed Opperman have done on the case and how it predates the coverage coming out today. We then delve into the recent developments in the sordid saga of Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire pedophile who stands accused of being involved in a human sex trafficking ring, while also refreshing new listeners on some of the basics of this story that illustrates a case study of a one percenter’s disgusting display of power in this New Gilded Age of injustice.

In particular we hone in on the lawsuit that could lead to the unsealing of court documents in the Epstein case. Pearse and I discuss what could be at stake for three of the case’s principal actors in the case: victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre (a teenage runaway who was for Epstein at Trump’s Mar-a-lago), celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and British socialite (and Epstein’s procurer of young girls) Ghislaine Maxwell. Moreover we examine how Trump’s Labor Secretary, Alexander Acosta, ties into this case. Additionally we also delve into a recent story detailing how Epstein funded Russian model Lana Pozhideva’s “Education Advance” which claims to advocate for “Women’s Empowerment”. Pearse explains how Pozhidaeva’s denials of knowing anything about Epstein seem far-fetched and tells listeners a little bit about the MC2 Modeling Agency in relation to this story.

We then shift our attention to another scandal. Recently, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft found himself embroiled in a prostitution scandal at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa. It turns out this massage parlor, which is alleged to be involved in human trafficking was formerly owned by Li Yang aka Cindy Yang. As it turns out Yang has rebranded herself since then as a MAGA supporter who has gained a great deal of access among Trump and Republicans. Pearse discusses both the seedy aspects of these spas as well as how Yang could be a security threat possibly giving access to foreign intelligence and businesses to Trump.

Parallax Views – Bonus Ep.: Roger Stone & the Circus of Doom w/ Pearse Redmond & Ed Opperman

February 14, 2019 – 6:16 pm

From Parallax Views:

On this bonus episode of Parallax Views returning guests Pearse Redmond of Porkins Policy Reviews and private investigator Ed Opperman of The Opperman Report join us for a roundtable discussion of political “dirty trickster” Roger Stone and his recent, highly publicized arrest in relation to the Mueller Probe. But first Pearse talks about getting blocked on Twitter by sleazeball “journalist” Mike Cernovich. Then Ed and Pearse give their takes on Alan Dershowitz in relation to the ongoing sordid saga of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein (see episodes 28, 29, & 30). From there we dive straight into the weird, wild, and exceptionally sleazy world of Roger Stone. What exactly landed Roger Stone in hot water with the Mueller Probe? Is Stone, as Pearse argues early on in the discussion, or is he, as Ed believes, a formidable operator? What bombshells did former Stone collaborator Robert Morrow drop on Ed in an exclusive Opperman Report interview about the GOP dirty trickster? Did the FBI raid follow proper procedures? Will Stone receive a gag order? What of the required drug testing of Stone in the Mueller Probe indictment? Who is Randy Credico and what is his relation to Stone? What are the experiences of folks in the JFK assassination conspiracy field with Stone? And what’s going on with Wikileaks? All this and much more in this jam-packed special edition of Parallax Views!

October 24, 2018 – 7:58 pm

This week J.G. Michael of Parallax Views joined me to discuss the current state of the right-wing movement. J.G. started out by talking about the intellectual roots of the far right and how that has evolved over the years. He touched on lesser known but highly influential people like Curtis Yarvin and Hans-Hermann Hoppe. J.G. also talked about the role that silicon valley and tech culture within the neoreactionary movement.

Later we discussed right-wing front man Gavin McInnes and his political gang the Proud Boys. We talked about his recent speech at the Met Club where he reenacted the murder of socialist Inejiro Asanuma by right-wing nationalist Otoya Yamaguchi. J.G. discussed how the Proud Boys fit into this complex milieu. We talked about their role as the Republican Parties brown shirts. Later we talked about punk music and some of their connections to the far right. We ended by talking about some of the real people behind these dangerous groups who are merely using McInnes and others as fronts.

Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael Ep. 30: Pearse Redmond on The Sordid Saga of Jeffrey Epstein, Pt. 2: The Details

September 4, 2018 – 3:48 pm

From Parallax Views

On this edition of Parallax Views you’ll hear the second part of a conversation with Pearse Redmond of Porkins Policy Review and the Open Minds Foundation on the sordid saga of disgraced billionaire and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In this edition we delve into some of the other players in this sordid story. You’ll hear the major characters who have aided and abetted Epstein, such as Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, and Natalya Malyshev, as well as a web of connections that tie figures like Roger Stone and Mike Cernovich, at least in nominal, peripheral way, to the scandalous world of Jeffrey Epstein.

From there we delve into the latest chapter in the Epstein Saga, namely Steve Bannon recent low-key, secretive meeting with the disgraced billionaire. This leads us down another rabbit hole in the form of the Bannon voter fraud house, or as some would call it the Bannon meth and porn house due to what was found in it. It’s a story that’s truly stranger than fiction.

All this and more in part two of Parallax Views conversation with Pearse Redmond on the Sordid Saga of Jeffrey Epstein. You won’t want to miss this!

Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael : Ep. 29 Pearse Redmond on The Sordid Saga of Jeffrey Epstein, Pt. 1: The Overview

September 4, 2018 – 3:35 pm

From Parallax Views

On this edition of Parallax Views you’ll hear the first part of a conversation with Pearse Redmond of Porkins Policy Review and the Open Minds Foundation on the sordid saga of disgraced billionaire and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Much has been made of Jeffrey Epstein, often refered to as the “Billionaire Pedophile”, by right-wing pundits due to his connections with Bill Clinton. However, mum’s the word when it comes to Epstein’s relationship to current President of the United States. We begin by giving a brief summary of who Epstein is for listeners who may not be familiar with him. Pearse unpacks how Epstein first came on the radar as a sex offender before discussing the often overlooked relationship between Epstein and Trump. From there we dive into the Palm Beach police force and FBI’s involvement in the Epstein case as well as a discussion of the possible psychology behind Epstein’s sex offences. Pearse points out a number of details about how Epstein has deflected criticism, the manipulative tactics Epstein used to perpetrate his crimes, and Epstein’s targeting of young girls from lower income neighborhoods. In particular, Pearse highlights the massive power imbalances in the relationships between Epstein and the underage girls he sought out.

We then delve more into Epstein’s background, which is decidedly of a working class/poorer strata than old money elites, and how this may factor into his psychology. Pearse and I note the extravagant image that Epstein, like Trump, has cultivated for himself as well as delving into Epstein’s need to climb the social ladder. Pearse delves into how Epstein went from a lower class status into the world of elites. This leads to a discussion of Epstein’s career in the financial career and philanthropic foundation which themselves seem to be colored by possibly shady chicanery including his being mentored by white collar ponzi scheme criminal Steven Hoffenberg.

In part two of the conversation we will take a deep dive into some of the other players in the sordid saga of Epstein’s child sex offences, the possible web of connections that tie Epstein to figures like Roger Stone, and the recent low-key, secretive meeting that took place between Epstein and right-wing man of infamy Steve Bannon.
