Porkins Policy Review
My latest interview with Ed Opperman discussing the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Show Notes:
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.

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.

Ed Opperman joined me this month to talk all about the breaking news regarding Jeffrey Epstein. We talked about the arrest and indictment by the Southern District of New York for sex trafficking. Ed and I discussed what was in the indictment and the what might be in store for Epstein. We also talked about the way the media continues to cover this story. We touched on the fact that both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump appear to be somewhat off limits; with the media refuses to cover Epstein’s connections to the Clinton foundation and the Maximum Golf article. Later we addressed the allegations made by Vicky Ward that Alex Acosta was told to back off because of Epstein’s status as an intelligence asset. Ed also touched on the disinformation out there regarding this case. Other topics discussed include: Dershowitz, photo’s found in Epstein’s house, Mueller, possible co-conspirators, Conchita Sarnoff, Steve Hoffenberg, and the resignation of Alex Acosta.

In the first hour, we got to catch up with our friend Regular Joe. Chuck and Joe discussed the weather in the south and the awful lack of sense in the news streams. The conversation shifted to Punisher Season 2. Chuck is a fan of the show and actually sees many real messages in the show’s design and script.
Entertainment combined with strong explorations into PTSD is combined with accurate illustrations of graphic violence to make the Comic based yet complex story arcs.
In the second hour, Porkins arrives to hit nearly all stops on the train of thought Chuck has related to the hunching brains speculating on Notre Dame. Pearse also provided us with an update to the Jeffrey Epstein saga while he described some of the highlights of his Live show from earlier in the day.
