Watching it now. It’s interesting how Epstein has become a boogyman but no one has seen him speak at length before now. My thoughts so far:
1. Epstein is charismatic and friendly, projecting an aura of wisdom, but Jewish and somewhat effeminate in his approach.
2. He is utterly inane, giving a long (for the interview) speech on the basics of fractional reserve banking.
3. He throws Clinton under the bus for the 2008 financial crisis, even though Clinton is or was a close buddy of his.
4. This is a brand management interview, where he is trying to (1) admit the most obvious past misdeeds (which he has been convicted for), (2) to humanize himself, and (3) to try to show elites that he can manage the crisis swirling around him. There’s a reason this interview never aired (again, only watched half so far), because it’s a failure in its implied, intended purpose.
5. Epstein’s psychic approach to topics is psychological, bringing elites together to make money in a defensible and at least quasi-respectable way. I can see the value he brought to financial and business elites by serving as a coordination mechanism.
6. Zero mention of Israel halfway through the interview, major deflections on how he was placed in the Rockefeller institute and other very prestigious organizations so early in life. Epstein is very good at rephrasing questions to benefit his interpretation and to only answer in ways that benefit his position; this is a guy that would have been good at chess.
Also, what a snake Bannon is - pretending to be a populist for years, yet one of Epstein’s close friends, and his questions, while phrased as hard hitting, were almost certainly screened by Epstein ahead of time.
Lastly, it’s not quite clear what the intent of the mass release of Epstein documents is - it’s clear that the release is partial and situational, i.e. it has screened many of the communications with Israel officials and especially Ehud Barak, who was a close confidant. Is it to demotivate Trump supporters from 2026 elections, which will be an overwhelming Democrat victory? Is it to create distrust in the system as a whole? Is it meant to be bragging by the elites that they are untouchable even if its a One Party and they control all institutions? The motivation remains a mystery, but it’s definitely being kept alive for a reason; the elites control the noetic commons that governs perception and they could bury this thing easily if they wanted to.
