Eric在节目中表达了对杰弗里·爱泼斯坦事件缺乏后续调查的担忧,并认为存在某种力量(他称之为DISC)压制了真相。他回忆起自己与爱泼斯坦的一次奇怪会面,并认为爱泼斯坦并非他所声称的金融家,而更像是一个由情报机构构建的“构造物”,其目的是控制有权势的人物和科学家。他提出了四个问题:A) 爱泼斯坦的财务记录去向何处?B) 吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦的下落如何?C) 爱泼斯坦是否与美国或外国情报机构有关联?D) 为什么没有举行听证会调查情报机构?Eric结合自己童年时被不合适的治疗师伤害的经历,阐述了个人在体制面前的脆弱性,以及体制对个人的压制。他认为爱泼斯坦事件反映了新闻机构、情报机构和政府机构的失职,以及科技机构的监控能力不足。他最终决定打破沉默,公开谈论爱泼斯坦事件,并呼吁重新启动类似丘奇委员会和派克委员会的调查,以揭露真相。Eric还提出了自己对爱泼斯坦事件的推测,认为爱泼斯坦可能是情报机构为了控制有权势人物而精心设计的“构造物”,但由于其自身的问题,导致计划失败。他认为爱泼斯坦事件暴露了美国科学界人才流失的问题,以及情报机构对媒体和影响者的控制。

Eric discusses his memories of meeting Jeffrey Epstein and his belief that Epstein was likely an intelligence construct, possibly connected to foreign or US intelligence agencies.

Shownotes Transcript

Over half a year ago, immediately following the reported death of Jeffrey Epstein, Eric recorded a solo episode that he never released in hopes that its subject matter would be overtaken by investigative journalism. As this has not happened, it is being released with some trepidation in March of 2020 due to the issue of state involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.  

Eric discusses his memories of his single bizarre meeting (circa 2004?) with Jeffrey Epstein in Epstein's 71st St townhouse in Manhattan. While at that meeting, Eric was surprised by Epstein's strange behaviors and came to the conclusion that it was highly unlikely that Epstein was likely to be the money manager he claimed. Instead, Eric came to the conclusion that the person with whom he was sitting was more probably a construction of one or more intelligence agencies, interested alternatively in powerful actors and scientists.

This 15 year hypothesis and Epstein's mysterious death lead to Eric's four questions: 

A) Where are the newspaper stories tracking the financial records from the Villard House offices on Madison Avenue of Jeffrey Epstein's hedge fund and financial management firm J. Epstein & Co.? Who holds these records? What trades do they show? Who were the prime brokers? Where are any former employees who executed trades? Was there never a hedge fund at all? If not, is the inexplicable Epstein fortune and the missing Robert Maxwell fortune actually one and the same fortune? 

B) Where are the newspaper stories detailing the known border crossings where Ghislaine Maxwell's passports were last presented to the immigration agents of any government? Where was her last known social engagement? Is she continuing to file and pay taxes? Why is she not being sought by law enforcement and where is the government request for any information as to her last whereabouts? How did this person simply vanish in a world where Tech tracks everyone at all times? Where did her digital trail run cold? 

C) Where are the newspaper stories asking whether Jeffrey Epstein was known to be connected to any US or foreign intelligence agencies? Where are the on-the-record stories asking if the US and its allies categorically deny refusing to work with any known child sex traffickers? Why has have such questions not terminated in at least a categorical denial or "no comment" response or even a refusal to discuss "sources and methods"? 

D) Why is there no routine call from Journalists, Senators, Congressmen and women, Academics, Clergy or Business leaders for hearings into the intelligence communities in the wake of Epstein and related affairs, as there was during the 1970s when the Church and Pike committees uncovered dirty tricks campaigns against lawful citizens? Why are these agencies now protected and immune in a way that they were not previously?
