1
You met Jeffrey Epstein once.
Vous avez rencontré Jeffrey Epstein une fois.
2
Talk to me about what that's like coming face -to -face with somebody of that caliber.
3
Whatever that means.
4
Well, one thing is that there is a physiological reaction
5
that corresponds to this phrase that the hair on the back of my neck stood on end.
6
That's a real physiological feeling.
7
I don't know whether the hair actually does that, but it's exactly what it feels like.
8
You're meeting somebody who is unholy.
9
And, you know, one of the most interesting things is
10
that he was beckoning into a world that didn't seem to exist but for him as the door, as the doorman.
11
I think that's one of the things that freaked out a lot of these rich people is that he,
12
he felt rich in a movie sense which is not something that you find among actually rich people what do you mean
13
well a lot of very wealthy people don't own an island
14
islands are really tough to to maintain i'm obsessed with islands
15
and you know in general I have to be obsessed with islands
16
that have airports run by other people because they have populations on them.
17
But every rich person starts to wonder, can I afford an island or how many jets?
18
And if you look at Jeffrey Epstein's wealth, it was beaten, it was like gold beaten into gold foil so
19
that it could cover a vast area
20
and leave the impression of a solid gold life
21
but it was really probably a mid nine figure fortune
22
that had been used to buy islands and plays
23
which is not what any nine figure person is going to do
24
so you had a felt sense an embodied sense of discomfort oh hell yeah and where did that come from
25
the fact that he had a lipstick camera pointed at me from an art object
26
that he laid a table that was preposterously long
27
and thin with a tablecloth made of an american flag to make it look like a coffin
28
so that i would spill my coffee on the flag of my own country i mean the fact
29
that he looked like a mutant ralph loren with this kind of libricious quality
30
and He's talking all of the science and market stuff and nothing adds up.
31
And there's an heiress bouncing on his knee to get her boobs to jiggle to see whether it can distract.
32
I mean, it's like one of these crazy scenes where nothing about it was normal.
33
There was just no, there was no trace of a normal world.
34
That sounds like a script from a movie.
35
Yeah i mean i think part of it uh john travolta is like putting a gun to your head
36
and forcing you to drink and break a code in a minute yeah like
37
that part of it and then there was some sort of like you know remember
38
that that story the most dangerous game where a man invites you to his island
39
so he can hunt you you know this was scary
40
and it was it was meant to be scary sounds menacing well i think his product was silence people think
41
that his product was sex
42
or finance but it was silence i'm pretty sure how do you what's
43
that mean if you're scary enough look rich people can get sex
44
but they can't necessarily get people to shut up afterwards
45
so i my take on it and my take on it instantly was this is not an actual human
46
this is a construct of someone's someone has created a fake
47
human being called jeffrey epstein who's a mysterious currency trading financier with crazy rules
48
so that no one would ever invest with him and i think
49
that was to keep people from seeking his investment services i mean he you know he's labeled disgraced financier
50
but nobody has a record of trading with him he was sitting there he comes into the meeting
51
and he says you know well eric i was just doing some currency trading
52
and i i thought about that scene that you sometimes see
53
and as a meme with steve buscemi with a skateboard over
54
his shoulder hello fellow teenagers hello fellow financial traders exactly like
55
so i'm thinking you don't really look like a rich guy who trades in markets
56
the thing that's interesting that i'm finding myself intrigued by here is
57
It takes a moderate amount of cognitive horsepower to be able to piece together this theater
58
that you sat down at deployed in a nefarious, malicious, manipulative way. But it's smart.
59
What do you mean it's smart?
60
Say more.
61
It's not something that could be done by a simple mind.
62
you think he did it oh he has a team of manipulators no
63
when i say i think he was a construct i literally mean
64
that i think he was constructed like fitted with a story
65
oh so you think he was a plant no i think he was a construct what's
66
that okay you're gonna have to dig into i think jeffrey epstein super genius financier was not a thing
67
that existed where did the money come from you're gonna mumble lex wexner okay
68
so that's what you mumble but then you know there's this missing fortune of robert maxwell
69
and this fortune of jeffrey epstein
70
that we don't can't explain are those the same fortune now it's like a conservation of uh of money principle
71
that if you have a fortune that's missing and you have a fortune
72
that can't be explained and they're connected by Ghislaine Maxwell I don't know I why is it
73
that no hedge funds what is it they file form I forget it's 13f there's certain forms
74
that you have to file um nobody's ever asked for these
75
things where who's his prime broker where somebody gone over the
76
prime brokerage uh his what are his trades he would have to move the market
77
if he was you know doing a yard of euros
78
or swiss francs or who knows what as like a billion um
79
that would move the market
80
so there's no way you can fake retroactively a hedge fund of immeasurable size
81
that trades currencies i don't think he was a currency trader he told me it was a currency trader so
82
when you say a construct who constructs who's the builder i
83
don't know i would imagine some version of the intelligence community
84
you know sometimes somebody's cover gets blown um we have we
85
have a very famous unfortunate story of ellie cone with the
86
mossad where ellie cone was an egyptian jew who was fitted with a backstory that he was an Argentinian playboy
87
who'd made a fortune in Argentina, but was Arabic in origin.
88
And then he moves to Damascus and he takes out an apartment where he holds orgies
89
and becomes the best friend of Hafez al -Assad, right?
90
And so that's an example of a story we know.
91
We know how the intelligence communities of the world create people who don't really exist.
92
construction of i know that this is just a one uh time thing here
93
that you got to see
94
but the construction of the coffin looking american flag the spilling
95
of the coffee this weird power play thing that's going on
96
that seems now that you say
97
that uh it wasn't him even pulling his own strings perhaps it makes a lot more sense
98
but even that that degree of sophistication i learned this from daniel schmachtenberger we sat down
99
and he spent some time with particularly powerful people yeah
100
and he told me this really harrowing story of somebody who has both the desire
101
and the means to treat themselves like an apex predator against their own kind
102
and they said so they broke the fourth wall about this
103
and said apex predators don't care about the prey
104
but they saw their own kind as prey
105
and i asked daniel how does it feel to sit opposite
106
somebody who isn't rate limited by the resources who can not only dream to have this
107
plus uh have the motivation or lack of virtue
108
or integrity to go ahead and consider doing it
109
and then has the capacity the assets to be able to enact it sure
110
and it's reminding me it's giving me this same something it
111
feels like it feels like it's up on the top of
112
my head it's giving me some sort of a sense like
113
that this was intended to be terrifying it wasn't an accident
114
it was intended to be as fascinating as it could possibly be which it was
115
and terrifying at the same time and it achieved both it achieved both objectives I mean, I was given an opportunity to meet him again.
116
I didn't know what to do.
117
The other thing that I just found really weird is that he knew about my research, and it turned out that he was connected to my graduate department at Harvard.
118
So he had a connection to the Harvard math department unbeknownst to me.
119
I don't know when that began.
120
I know two of the professors he was connected through.
121
But this is some unholy story.
122
It has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.
123
It has to do with whatever this thing was.
124
We tripped over a thing.
125
We tripped over a structure.
126
We named the structure Jeffrey Epstein.
127
It must be very unfortunate in some regards for whoever it was,
128
if that's true, that was in charge of this construction, that it became that people got t -shirts with his name printed on them.
129
This was already going wrong in the early 2000s.
130
You see, my sense of this is that this was a pre -internet plan
131
that lived into the internet age and couldn't survive contact with the internet age.
132
what did the internet bring in
133
that didn't allow it to survive eyeballs discussion level of surveillance well you know there's a claim
134
that nobody cares about jeffrey epstein because it's this many years later
135
and we've all moved on yeah that's completely untrue and we know
136
that it's true because if you start talking about jeffrey epstein the the engagement goes up
137
so you have these fictions like you know
138
that are put out by mainstream media or traditional news desks
139
which is nobody cares about that story well
140
that you can see from social media that that's not true from the internet
141
so the internet is constantly providing an ability to check whether
142
or not these claims from inside the structure true
143
and jeffrey epstein is an example of what i called an an anti -interesting phenomenon.
144
What's that?
145
Well, an anti -interesting thing is something that would normally be fascinating.
146
Imagine, for example, you had a story where you could get a Pulitzer Prize for breaking it.
147
Everybody cares.
148
You'd sell papers like hotcakes, blah, blah, blah, and nobody wants to report on it.
149
And it's like right there.
150
You could just ask the dumbest questions
151
and it would like new york times says disgraced financier well
152
tell me did you find his prime broker did you find
153
the forms did you go to his offices in villard house no nobody does ever
154
the story is anti -interesting and it's very different than being uninteresting which would suggest more collusion more coordination
155
hello i mean see this is what this is one of
156
the most uncomfortable things i think there was a time
157
when mostly when people said collusion
158
or coordination their presumption was well that's kind of that's pretty
159
far out there we now know like post elon musk's 44 billion dollar adventure at twitter
160
that there are these coordinating groups coordinating coordinating social media with the intelligence community
161
or with the department of homeland security
162
or with the state department we now know
163
that we're living in an orchestrated court you know curated choreographed world
164
and we can't know it officially but we all know it
165
if we want to know
166
which is hysterical now we have to talk about well are
167
you a conspiracy theorist like i i read i read the slack messages I read the emails.
168
What are you even talking about now?
169

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
