Turns out that Jeffrey Epstein was coaching former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak while he courted investors for an Israeli oil field. And that's according to new reporting from drop site News. They've been looking into Epstein files that, yes, are heavily redacted [00:00:18] but were released. And in those files, we're learning more and more about Epstein's extreme power and just how involved he was in helping the Israeli government financially, economically. Jenk your $0.02. [00:00:33] I want people to pay attention in this story to how incredibly powerful Jeffrey Epstein was. He was more powerful than the Israeli prime minister and many world leaders and the heads of top banks. How did he accumulate that much power? [00:00:49] That is super interesting. Let's give you the facts first. So this report has to do with the Leviathan oil field in Israel. And just a few weeks ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a $35 billion deal in which Israel will sell [00:01:07] natural gas from the Leviathan to Egypt. Now, the deal marks Israel's largest energy export agreement ever. But a lot had to be done behind the scenes in order for this to happen. For many years, it was uncertain if Leviathan, which was discovered back [00:01:27] in 2010, could even ever be operational. Now, the Israeli government clashed with their courts over whether or not some of the oil from this reserve could be allocated exclusively for foreign exports. Furthermore, an Israeli energy mogul by the name of Yitzhak Tshuva, [00:01:47] who partially owned the field, was also wrapped up in an antitrust case. So Ehud Barak went looking for allies and financiers in order in other countries, essentially to help Toshiba, Toshiba's company, become compliant [00:02:04] with Israel's anti-monopoly regulations. Okay, so it's likely that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was also doing the same simultaneously. But in this case, you have Barak working with Epstein in order to find international backers of this oil field. [00:02:22] So prior reporting has already revealed that Epstein helped to connect Netanyahu with JP Morgan leadership back in the 20 tens. So it wasn't just Epstein's relationship with Ehud Barak that's notable. Epstein also had a relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu as well. [00:02:40] So the reason for the meeting and the nature of Epstein's involvement was not disclosed in court documents, which are heavily redacted. But whether by chance or by design, Netanyahu agreed to the meeting on March 23rd, 2011, the same day the the Knesset Finance Committee voted on a major tax increase [00:02:59] on natural gas exports, a key hurdle to beginning commercial development of Leviathan. So after the antitrust dispute was finally resolved in 2016, JP Morgan financed a multibillion dollar plan to develop the oil field. [00:03:17] Okay. As for Ehud Barak, well, Barak was in close correspondence with Epstein as he spoke to, teshuva. Courted a Russian Israeli billionaire. Shop the deal to an American private equity firm, [00:03:34] and even pitched a partnership to Azerbaijan's state owned oil company. So Epstein coached Barak throughout the process. That's the notable element of the story. At one point, Barak even told Epstein, thanks for the time and energy you invest [00:03:49] in supporting my efforts to bring home more bread. These exchanges are highly valuable for me. At one point, Epstein even chided Ehud Barak for bringing on a partner that he disapproved of writing. And by the way, we didn't edit any of the way that he wrote this. [00:04:07] He, was just atrocious when it came to spelling, grammar, punctuation. You get the picture. But here's what he wrote. This is total 100% BS. I told you on the phone before sending or asking anyone about it, you should do your own homework. [00:04:24] You cannot be seen to be selling garbage, frauds, bad things, or trouble and or trouble. This is a total waste of your time. And, Barak complied immediately and shut down all communications with this potential partner. [00:04:39] Eventually, though, Netanyahu was able to get the oil field up and running by utilizing an obscure piece of Israel's anti-trust law. And Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, as we all know, are our political rivals. They are still feuding today. [00:04:56] But nonetheless, when it came to this oil field, they certainly had the same goals in mind. But, so, what united them was the the Leviathan oil field. So they wanted to make sure that it's operational and, it is now. [00:05:13] - And Epstein had a lot to do with that. - Yeah. So there's two things here. One is the power of Epstein, in different parts. You see, Ehud Barak and even Benjamin Netanyahu can't get a meeting. And Epstein, makes it happen for them. Wow. [00:05:30] I didn't think there was anyone more powerful than the Israeli prime minister, but it turns out it was Jeffrey Epstein. And at any time he can get a meeting with almost any country's leader and anyone in finance, the heads of JPMorgan, etc.. So. And both sides are constantly surprised at the amount of power he has. [00:05:48] So Ehud Barak is constantly like pleading with him and then Epstein gets him something and he's like, oh, thank you so much. And so, for example, when he said, thank you for letting you know, helping me bring this home, referring to Israel, Epstein agrees and says, oh, I'm happy to do it. [00:06:04] ET cetera. So they both consider Israel to be home while Epstein is pretending to be an American. Okay, so, and and then as an I read you, he chides Barak every once in a while. The former prime minister of Israel. That's not how you do it. This is how you do it. [00:06:20] And Barak is like, okay, thank you sir. Of course sir. Right. Amazing. Then on the JPMorgan side, the there's a memo where they say, outwardly, you should know this. They're all pretending like, oh, this is all normal. [00:06:36] No big deal. Of course, meetings like this are set up by anyone. You know. It could be Bob down the street. And he happened to bring the head of JPMorgan together with the with the Prime minister of Israel, etc.. No, the city, the JP Morgan Chase emails say I can't believe we got a meeting with Netanyahu by just asking Epstein. [00:06:53] They say Epstein and they say, thank you so much. And he's like, basically, you're welcome. Okay, so who is this guy? Because here's what he's not, a rando. That was just a pervert and doing things on his own with those massages. [00:07:13] And it didn't have anything to do with international politics or power players or intelligence agencies or governments. That's an absurd, totally made up thing. I mean, if you believe that that's a wild, ludicrous conspiracy theory [00:07:29] that Epstein acted on his own when he has all of these connections to all these leaders and in every one of the deals, by the way, there's deals with Senegal, with Kazakhstan, with Russia, and trying to get cyber weapons for Israel. [00:07:44] He's in the middle of the Iran-Contra affair. He's the Forrest Gump of intelligence agencies. He's in almost every deal. It's amazing. And as they're doing all of that, they say, oh, no, no, he's not connected to any government. - Come on. - Yeah, it's totally absurd. [00:08:04] And, if you want more, drop Site has been following this story closely, reporting on details of Epstein's relationships, with various governments, particularly with Israel's government. They had an incredible piece about how Epstein was even involved [00:08:19] in the funding of the Contras during the Reagan administration. Just absolutely mind blowing. So, yeah, he was more than just a disgusting pervert and pedophile. Apparently he was, wheeling and dealing with various foreign countries, including the government of Israel. [00:08:35] All right. - Go ahead, Jake. - Yeah. One last quick thing. Part of the reason why, when Trump said to the president of Israel, you should pardon, Netanyahu. And then the president just said the other day, no, I'm not going to do that, is because Netanyahu is also ripping off the average Israeli citizen. [00:08:52] You see in the emails, they're concerned that the Israeli citizens are going to be charged too much by this monopoly. And Netanyahu is like, who cares? Call it national security. And because he's arranging the deal. And then his son Yair runs into the son of the guy [00:09:09] who owns the oil fields at a strip club, gets secretly taped and brags about his dad's corruption, and he is asking for money for to hire more strippers. And he says to the other son, bro, my dad now arranged a $20 billion show for you [00:09:25] and you can't spot me 400 shekels. So this is not on behalf of anyone other than the super powerful, connected leaders of Israel, which include Jeffrey Epstein. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. [00:09:42] Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
