Episode notes
Superficial Framing Protects Powerful Figures
- The Epstein story is being deliberately kept superficial to avoid exposing deeper networks.
- Releasing full documents would implicate powerful people across politics and finance.
Missing Files And Unexplained Delays
- FBI searches seized multimedia binders from Epstein but authorities withheld content citing CP, creating opaque gaps.
- Delays and unsearched properties (island, New Mexico ranch) raise unanswered investigative questions.
Intelligence And Organized Crime Became Intertwined
- Intelligence agencies formed post-WWII alliances with organized crime that persisted into peacetime.
- Those alliances transformed criminal rackets into intelligence-enabled state-protected markets.
