0:02 Hello, everybody. Can you hear me? Tara, can you give me a voice check, please? I'm going to get a voice check before I start talking. Sound check. Is that working okay? Five by five. All right, let's go. Rock and roll. Okay, I want to go back for just one second to something we talked about yesterday. Let me get my lights on.

0:55 Bridget did a little bit more digging and I thought I'd go back. I wanted to look up this one guy. So yesterday when we were talking, I mentioned Hoppenberg, H-O-F-F-E-N-B-E-R-G, and that he had been found dead in an apartment in late, let's see, late August 2022.

1:27 So he had been involved in BCCI and some other, um, with Adon, uh, uh, Shogi. So when I looked him up and I'm going to try to read my own bad handwriting, um, he had started in, she goes into it in the next chapter. So I'm going to spend a lot of time names. We could write a book about, um, that's what's amazing about this book.

2:02 And why at some point we have to put the chart, the spaghetti chart together that identifies all these people for future research. So this Hoppenberg guy had created a company that did bill collections. And basically it appears it was set up in the 80s, but it appears that it was really a scam and he was running a Ponzi scheme.

2:33 As soon as he met and started working with Jeffrey Epstein, they set up a Ponzi scheme. Basically, he had bought insurance companies. And you remember about how I told you they do fraud with insurance companies because it has all of the residual assets in it. And then they like.

2:54 loan them out or steal from them and then hope they can get them back. And sometimes they don't. They go belly up. And that's how they were doing with the savings and loans and all that other stuff. They can figure out any way to scam money. And in the end, it's you and I that gets hurt. So up until Madoff, when this Ponzi scheme was exposed, it was the largest they had ever exposed. It had over $160 million in fraud.

3:24 And the most interesting part about it, there was four people, three that had been charged. This guy, Hoffenberg, went to jail from 97 to 2013. Jeffrey Epstein helped him set the entire thing up and he was left out of all of the indictments. He was never charged.

3:59 Hoppenberg guy also, during the height of the scam, had temporarily bought the New York Post and saved it from bankruptcy. He lost it a few months later. But my friend and I, who's always talking about Little Rock and what a hotbed of mess it is, and I posted that post a few days ago about information about that girl that had...

4:27 been on a paddleboard and died with an electrical rope around her, electrical cord around her. I texted her because I found out this Hoppenberg guy, when they finally indicted him, he was arrested by a secret service and FBI people in Little Rock, Arkansas. Arkansas is a hot mess. So the name of the company that

4:58 committed this Ponzi scheme was called Tower Financial Corporation. This guy lived, he rented or bought an entire floor in Trump Tower. Random House was hooked up with him, which we know book deals are money laundering. The place that he had bought and was allowing

5:32 Jeffrey Epstein. To work out of. In downtown New York. Was. Part of a building. That belonged to. This family. It's a mammoth building. I didn't write down the name of the family. But. The family. It eventually gets taken over. By the. Archdiocese. And guess who was.

6:02 in charge of the archdiocese when it got taken over. Spillman, the guy that we read all about in Operation Gladio, had the whole pedophile thing going on. Also, Hemsley was involved in that same building. The building was eventually bought by the Sultan of Brunei. We're going to have to look into him too because his name keeps coming up.

6:32 in all of these things i've never looked into him um and then what else did i find trying to read my writing oh he also tried to buy pan am airline and that was kind of the an emory air uh emory air was based out of dayton ohio which we know is going to be important um because of the whole rickenbacker air a lot of cargo aircraft coming in and out of ohio

7:04 But A&M was kind of the step too far. That's when the power financials started teetering. And then once it went belly up is when the SEC started their investigation. There was also allegations of sex trafficking with Emory Air in 1996. So that may be a completely separate but consistent.

7:35 with this whole setup operation of sex trafficking. And also, as a reminder, we talked about the Fortuna Israel, aka Madam Tuna, that was also running a sex trafficking operation. So that's just looking for a few minutes on one name in all of the names in this book. It's just crazy. Back to the officer. We're finishing up nine.

8:07 Is it nine? No, 11. We're finishing up 11. I still have a subsection to go and we'll jump into 12. So finishing up 11, the last area was the Austrian passport mystery. So evidently when Epstein was arrested, he had in his possession an Austrian passport. Now there's a...

8:37 The reason she explains why that may be the case, it's all hypothetical. She does not know. But the one point where, because we know about the original audio, we understand how easy having a static passport is because we know about a gender press. We know that a gender press's specialty was creating authentic-looking passports because it was a printing press.

9:06 And it was integral in getting these people around through all of the different countries. And for example, Jeffrey Epstein, it was a made-up name. Nobody ever figured out what the name was. But it got him in and out of countries without ever documenting that Jeffrey Epstein had been there. So they found it when they raided his house along with $70,000 in cash.

9:37 48 small diamonds, and that's what they used in the court hearing to say that it was a flight risk, even though the passport was expired, so technically he couldn't have used it to go anywhere, but they used it anyway. The passport had been stamped with France, Spain, UK, and Saudi Arabia, which would all make sense based on what we've known and the arms dealing that Khashoggi was doing with Saudi.

10:11 So there was another company that Drysdale Government Securities that Epstein had involvement with in Spain that she says may be the reason why he was trying to go in and out of Spain with a different name. And the excuse that the attorney used on why he had it was that it was issued back in the 80s when there was a lot of hijacking.

10:40 separation of his passengers on aircraft so that he did it out of fear for his life. So, just be aware of that. So, her hypothesis is that Ronald Lauder, the heir to Estee Lauder, at the time was the U.S. ambassador to Austria, and that it may have been, he was

11:11 faster back in the mid-80s. And it may have been him that arranged to get the passport. And also, Epstein's former partner, Alan Greenberg, was friends with Lauder, and Lauder's parents was also close friends with Roy Cohn and Aiden Shikogi.

11:46 And also there was a connection between Lauder, Leslie Wexner, and the Brothmans. They all belonged to the World Jewish Congress. And like Edgar Brothman had been in charge of it. And that Wexner's group, mega group, had Charles Brothman on it. And they all met and were participating and donating.

12:16 to the World Jewish Congress. So they kind of all were in along with Lauder. So they definitely knew each other and there could have been some stuff going on. But also she pointed out that Lauder had connections to U.S. intelligence and he was also very close to Netanyahu. And Netanyahu had first became

12:45 prime minister in 96 had a significant portion of his campaign bankrolled by Lauder so and we know that Jeffrey Epstein worked on behalf of the Assad Israeli government as well so there is that connection too. Lauder also co-founded Eastern European Broadcasting Network CETV with a guy by the name of Mark Palmer and he was a former

13:15 diplomat, Kissinger aide, and Reagan speechwriter. Palmer was best known for co-founding the National Endowment for Democracy, which of course has CIA roots to it and is also a part of the fascist takeover of the United States. So that would all line up with everything that we know about Operation Gladio as well. Lauder's Israeli prize says that

13:45 He himself was tied to the security and intelligence services inside of Israel as a major funder of the IDC's Zertzia, an Israeli university that was founded in 94 that has close ties to the Israeli intelligence. And that university actually has a school called Lauder School of Government. I say that's very close.

14:17 Also, move on here. Prosecutors in the 2019 case against Epstein said that his passport had expired in 87, which is the year that Lauder left the ambassadorship. So it is possible that that could have been the case. The previous U.S. ambassador to Austria before Lauder was a woman by the name of Helen Van Dam.

14:50 And she was there 83 to 86. And she's all in those same circles as well. She was known to attend parties on Boy Cone's yacht. And her deputy as the ambassador was Felix Block, B-L-O-C-H, who was known to go against protocol and do things that he wasn't supposed to do.

15:20 He was a very controversial figure investigated for illegal activities by the FBI. He was alleged to have intelligence services ties to many different areas, but specifically the most disturbing one was the Soviet Union. He left the Vienna embassy and returned back to the U.S. State Department handling European affairs.

15:54 suspended from his diplomatic post because of the allegations of ties to the Soviet Union and we know that Robert Maxwell had ties to the Soviet Union as well and supposedly Block had worked closely with Maxwell so that also is a possibility of how he got the passport as well since he's already known the legal stuff so from

16:23 Remember the guy that we talked about yesterday was Douglas Lee, L-E-E-S-E. He also had a lot of dealings with this Hoffenberg guy that we were just talking about. And she points out, she goes into the whole Hoffenberg creating a tower financial corporation and the ties that he had to Epstein.

16:55 But he also had ties to Julian Lease, who is the son of Douglas Lease at the Financial Powers. And let's see. Then she talked about how he was allowed to, because of the whole Ponzi scheme thing, he was allowed to plead guilty.

17:30 And let's see. He was paying, this Hoffenberg was paying Epstein as well as providing him this palatial office space in that building that had been turned into Archdiocese and was his family's home. It's a huge, big place. He had been paying Epstein $25,000 a month in 19...

17:58 starting as early as 87, to whatever he's doing in this office space, which basically we know now is managing a Ponzi scheme. And Huffenberg would also loan Epstein $2 million that he says he never got paid back. He eventually tries to sue Epstein's estate, but that doesn't go anywhere. And then he died.

18:32 So the name of his insurance company that he was defrauding was called Associated Life Insurance United Fire. And it's important. We already talked about Emory Ayer. And basically he took out a $200 promissory note off of the money that they had embezzled.

19:10 let's see, during this period, Epstein and Hoffenstein or Hoffenberg became, they're running this Ponzi scheme. They get really good friends. They go on vacation together. And he's quoted, Hoffenberg is quoted, he was my best friend for years, my closest friend for years. We ran a team of people on Wall Street, investment people that raised the billion dollar.

19:48 raised these billion dollars illegally. He was my guy, my wingman. And he basically says he fired Epstein in the early 1990s because he was stealing too much money and that they weren't going to be able to hide it. So basically, in addition to them doing this Ponzi scheme, they were siphoning off a whole bunch of the money for personal use as always happens.

20:19 He also says that he tried to buy the New York Post at the request of Governor Mario Cuomo and basically what Murdoch had done with his media empire. Also, there's a guy by the name. So the federal prosecutor that did most of the work, Edward said.

20:50 trying to manipulate the price of stocks, Hoffenberg responded affirmatively. So in the questioning, where he's laying out that Epstein was at the heart of the whole thing because of his math knowledge and the whole currency manipulation and stuff that he was capable of doing, the prosecutor says, ask him if he was trying to manipulate the price of stocks, and Hoffenberg

21:19 said yes, he was. And he basically says that he was the technical wizard behind the whole scheme, but not once when they actually unsealed the indictments was Epstein mentioned anywhere. He was not mentioned in court during the trial or nothing. So the other executives was Mitchell Brater, B-R-A-T-E-R, and Michael Rosoff, R-O-S-O-F-F.

21:49 But again, no Epstein. Hoppenberg's attorney, Jeffrey Hoffman, told the court that the guilty plea and accompanying confession from Hoppenberg was offered to spare Mr. Hoppenberg the trauma, embarrassment, and expense of a trial. But it's more likely it was offered to him so that they could keep Epstein for some reason at this time. They're protecting Epstein.

22:22 Probably because he's got the goods on them. Because they made it clear that if it had went to trial, you could not have kept Epstein's role out of the entire thing. So it would also have been damaging to intel agencies, both with Epstein and Lease, because they were both connected to the scam. And then I mentioned that he tried to file a lawsuit to get the money that had been owed to him and that he was ordered to pay to the victims.

22:59 out of Epstein's estate, but later withdrew the lawsuit, probably because he was threatened, in my opinion. So that pretty much does that part of it. One other family that's going to come up that he was involved with is Goulatis, G-O-U-L-E-T-A-S, Goulatis family.

23:35 Epstein's office mate, while he's in this big ritzy palatial office put up by Hoffenberg, is a woman by the name Evangeline Goulatas. Again, G-O-U-L-E-T-A-S. They share an office. She's a big real estate investment person. She goes on to marry former Governor Hugh Carey.

24:05 of New York. So, Epstein's sitting in an office. His office mate in this office is this Evangeline woman. She's a real estate investor. Now, we already know, based on Operation Gladio and just crime families in general, where do they all want to park their money when they steal it? He's sitting in an office stealing money. She's sitting in a money investment property. Hello? So.

24:40 At some point, I mentioned also that that building that they were in was formerly the Helmsley Hotel. And if y'all, I forget what that woman's name is, Helmsley, what's her first name? She was the kind of Cruella de Vil of Manhattan. Everybody hated her. She married.

25:09 a Helmsley man. And this hotel became her pet project when he was the owner of it. So, I mean, it's high-end luxury. And let's see. There's a couple other people. I'm not going to go into them. That was also involved. So, the leftist family lawyer, Alan Hessler, he'll come up a couple of times.

25:45 would join the board of Les Wexner Limited in 1987. So the same year that Epstein formally allied himself with Hoffenberg's Tower Financial and Epstein became financial advisor to Les Wexner. Okay, so just here's the whole thing. So this woman's real estate investor. Here sits Epstein in this glacial,

26:16 Manhattan office. The Galetas family has crime time. Their attorney, which would be somebody representing the criminal element, gets appointed to Lex Wexner's board of directors at the Limited. Jeffrey Epstein is creating his Ponzi scheme and she's investing

26:54 and a whole bunch of real estate. So that's how those people line up. And Jeffrey Epstein also begins his relationship with Wexner as his financial advisor. As he's embezzling the money, Leona, thank you, Tara. Leona Helmsley, yeah. The Cruella de Vil of Manhattan. Her story's hilarious. She was a mean bitch.

27:24 So you have the beginnings in 1987 of this ball of nastiness where Epstein, Wexner, this chick, Volatus, Evangeline, all get together and they're hatching out this big financial scam. Moving on. The property developer.

28:02 So we're going to talk a little bit more about the Galatas fan. There's brothers, Victor, Nicholas, and the sister Evangeline. They basically work all together and they create this hive of companies. And I'll just go over some of them in case they come up in the future. So they were all stockholders of a company called Ambelos, A-M-B-E-L-O-S Corporation.

28:35 100% ownership of the parent company, which was American Invesco Corp. There's also Camco Holding Company, which we've heard before, T-A-M-C-O. That's part of their family network under the American Invesco Corporation. So Camco was a holding company.

29:07 under TAMCO Industries, which was under American Invesco. We need a chart, and I'm going to work on that. So American Invesco would put money into TAMCO to finance the company's operation. And their operations were investment property and corporate takeover. So no one knows where...

29:43 the Galatis wealth came from. There's no trace of all of this money that ends up in American Invesco. And in the past, what we know is, especially with these holding companies, is these became the depositories for laundered money. Then they hire a family to, as if it's their own wealth, the holding company.

30:13 That's where they put all of these ill-gotten gains that they got from money laundering. That's my hypothesis about this family. Is there some of those people? Whenever they have that, oh, he was rags to riches. Yeah, that's garbage. And when you hear somebody goes, oh, we have no idea. They're billionaires, but we have no idea where they got their money. That's where they got their money. And she killed her husband. I don't know. There was rumors.

30:44 I don't know, Tara. Probably drove him to kill himself. She just was such a nasty person. Okay. So in the 1970s, American Invesco peddled apartments and condominiums, most of which were just not remarkable. They were just, you know, regular.

31:13 old apartments, not like luxury apartments or Manhattan themes or anything else. And suddenly, between the years of 76 and 78, which if you look at 76 and 78, what happened? That's why we have to know Gladio. 76 to 78 was right after Richard Nixon nixed all of the Corsican Mafia opiate dealerships, right?

31:42 He wipes them out. They're gone. All of the opium trade begins coming through Sicily and into New York. So now you have a 100, because the Corsican mafia was sending a lot of the drugs through Canada into like the French area of Canada, like Quebec.

32:05 into the United States. So there was more middlemen and the mafia wasn't getting as much of a cut in New York. So it was right around the 76 timeframe at the end of the Nixon administration where they had wiped out the entire Corsican mafia. And you had this influx of billions of dollars because finally the CIA had sold

32:32 control of all of the opium coming out of vietnam the golden triangle area because it was now all coming through um sicily and if you don't know that from operation gladio you don't know how important some of these details are so that they supposedly struck it rich during the exact same time the opium uh trade had ramped up it like um it was like five times

33:02 the amount of profit in the opium once they got rid of the Corsican mafia. So to me, it looks like that's where they were parking some of this money. So they became investors in condominiums in Chicago. And all of a sudden, they were making millions and millions and millions of dollars in profits. Bull crap. All right. Then they start making deals, which...

33:32 To me, this is the icing on the cake. They get into arrangements with Greek shipping money, Onassis. And remember about how many of those Greek ships was being used in the trade? So there you go. These rumors were fueled by America's Invesco's interest in purchasing half of the New York Olympic Tower.

34:01 which had been developed by and co-owned by Onassis, who was flush with money from the Middle East in opium. Invesco partnered with JP Construction Company, which specialized in projects in that particular region. Again, got that whole money laundering, drug laundering. Galatas were fronting for organized crime interests.

34:33 In a Fortune magazine article written in 1981, there was an anonymous report by Congressman Rosenthal, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Consumer and Monetary Affairs, that traced American Invesco's seed money back to Greek mobsters in Chicago. Confidential Intelligence Bulletin was issued in 78 by the Los Angeles District Attorney that said American Invesco had...

35:03 to the entire BRIAR management company for vehicle or organized crime infiltration of Chicago real estate. So American Invesco management long-term president was Douglas Crocker II. He linked up with the Galatas and had amassed a serious record of high-stake real estate transactions. Crocker's business partner was Sam Zell, Z-E-L-L.

35:35 Another wizard in the Chicago real estate scene, like Ronald Lauder, is a major funder of Intel-connected IDC, which is that university in Israel. The same article describes him as a, quote, partner in some of the early ventures, unquote. Being part of the ventures of Burton Cantor, who was a law...

36:06 linked attorney that had joined together with the CIA banker Paul Helliwell, which keeps coming up, and Castle Bank, which we know is a money laundering bank in Bahama. In 1976, Cantor, Zell, and two other associates were charged with having used Castle Bank accounts to evade taxes on the sale of a Reno, Nevada apartment complex. So they're money laundering. That's just all there is to it.

36:35 And that a person, Florida Senator George Smathers, who had boasted of his own ties to organized crime, had purchased that building in 1969. So Galatas decided to also participate in the whole 1980 savings and loan scam. Through TAMCO, they purchased Imperial Corporation.

37:08 a holding company. It controlled imperial savings and loans. And there were several other like shell companies set up with the word imperial in front of them. Like imperial savings in San Diego and Gibraltar savings in Texas. So it says Gibraltar had...

37:38 Gibraltar had passed through a chain of owners before finally ending up in the hands of Ron Perlman, another participant in the junk bond fiasco that they were all involved in as well. Then she talks a little bit about the whole junk bond and selling debt that's worth $10 billion. And I want to get into that because if you don't know a lot about the financial world,

38:11 It's a little confusing. It's just important to know who these people are and the fact that they were in or they were doing business with known money laundering people, known Gladio operators, and that everything that they were currently doing at the time looks exactly like the whole Gladio story as far as the money laundering part and investing it in real estate that we've seen repeated.

38:45 So there's a company by the name of MDC Holdings. That was another entity that was involved in the junk bonds area. And Larry Mizel, M-I-Z-E-L, was involved in that as well. And other trusts were set up.

39:14 with people like Calvin Eisenberg, who had been at Burton Center's law firm, that Douglas Crocker guy we just talked about. They were all in on the same deals together. She refers to them as a data chain of, they're basically money laundering through a whole bunch of different entities. We'll leave it at that.

39:46 Charles Keating of London was a major Drexel Burnham client. Another agency called Southmark was involved in it. And a Colorado attorney by the name of Norman Brownstein did work on behalf of several of these people. And that's pretty much it for that part. Now we're going to get to the Alan Tressler.

40:19 And he is the attorney for the Galactus family. And as Imperial was basically getting ready to collapse because of all of the money that they had been sucking out of it, their attorney, Alan Tressler, and a board member of many of these different enterprises, was appointed CEO.

40:52 It ended up, he wasn't able to save it. So they brought in another guy. Let's see. So they're saying that this guy's a friend of Frank Costello's and Ray Cohn, mob guys. One of the firm's partners was Martin, M-A-C-I-O-C-E, who was brought in by the Vatican in 1989 to help clean up their scandal bank.

41:32 the Vatican Bank, and that's also a cleanup for money laundering. This Mastizio, who chaired Allied stores, was brought on board of Capital Cities, which took over ABC. There he had served alongside William Casey, who goes on to be the CIA director. This was his only connection to this whole group.

42:05 Milton Gould, the firm's co-founder and senior partner, was a Casey friend and lifelong attorney. And he had introduced Gould and his fellow co-founder, Martin Shea. It isn't clear exactly when Tesler became counselor for Regulatus, but it was certainly prior to their acquisition of Imperial. Tesler had another important client, Dr. Earl Bryan.

42:38 the Ronald Reagan crony and one of the main architects of the promised software bug-related scandals, which is the stolen software that was given to CIA and Mossad. Brian was also the head of a venture capital firm called Info Technology. Info Technology was teetering on the brink of collapse with cash flow problems. Tesla, in a move that directly paralleled its actions at Imperial,

43:08 not even a year prior, became Infotech's co-CEO and had mandated for a company restructuring by selling off several subsidiaries. Tesla had been involved in Brian's business affair since 1977. That aligned with Brian's time when he was president of another technology firm called XONICS.

43:35 with an SEC lawsuit against that company for, among other things, artificially manipulating its stock price to raise money for acquisitions. It managed to limp along for several years before it collapsed, at which point Brian took control of the subsidiary called Hadron, H-A-D-R-O-N. We learned about that one in Chapter 9.

44:00 It was Brian operating Hadron who attempted to acquire Promise software from the Hamilton's in-law on behalf of the Justice Department. Hadron remained deeply tied to the events that surrounded the software's eventual theft. So basically, he was trying to buy it to use it for the whole blackmailing and everything else. He tried to get it when Innslaw was in the middle of their lawsuit.

44:30 when he knew they were financially strapped. And that would have kept the Department of Defense or Department of Justice and the CIA from having to steal it like they ended up doing. So it can be argued that he was working on half of them and not independently. We'll just leave it at that.

44:59 Tesler himself makes a brief appearance in the annals of Innslaw Affair itself. William Hamilton, the guy that owned Innslaw and created the software, charged that a venture capital firm called 53rd Street Ventures, which held a stake in Innslaw, was party to the Hadron DOJ conspiracy to acquire Promise. An affidavit from Hamilton says that...

45:29 Third Street founder and owner. David, sorry about that. David, where was I? Daniel Tesler was a relative of Alan Tesler, the senior partner of the New York City law firm Shea & Gold, responsible for Brian and Hadron's merger and acquisition work. Daniel Tesler's wife, Patricia Velarde,

46:06 who reported to have told an officer at Hambro International Bank that she knew all about Brian's role in the Inslaw matter. The report of the special counsel, Lua, who looked into the whole Inslaw affair and dismissed Hamilton's allegation, says that Daniel Tesler met with Inslaw concerning potential investments in the company on behalf of another investor in the company, Hambro International.

46:34 He further denied that he was related to Alan Tessler and that he and his wife knew Earl Bryan, but they did. So obviously he was trying to take over Promise by buying stock. That's the bottom line. They served together on the National Association of Small Business Investment Company. And Whitney talks about the CIA's modification of Promise software.

47:06 was alleged to have taken place at the cambazon indian reservation where they were manufacturing parts for the m16 and that the potential cia asset that was involved in that whole thing um was john nichols who managed to take control of the reservation from the tribal government um nichols and his partner g wayne reader

47:36 R-A-E-D-E-R, a land developer of ill repute, steered Cabazon into a joint venture with Black and Hutt and several other companies, which we've talked about. Included in the scheme was arms research development and manufacturing plant. So they were going to be making these weapons at Amazon and were going to be deployed to different theaters and used during Reagan's covert war.

48:07 My argument is those covert wars were actually Operation Gladio. The Contras attended the meeting there at least one time as documented to observe a weapons demonstration. In Riverside, California, the DA wrote an intelligence report that's later made available to Innslaw that said before the consolidation of the Contras report, it was attended by two Contra generals.

48:36 representative of the Cabazon tribal government and the president of the weapons company Armtek. In attendance was Earl Bryan and Wayne Reeder. According to the report, they arrived together in a white Rolls Royce. That's the license plate number. Bryan's second connection, following his relation with Tesla through the world of the savings and loan debacle, Reeder was a prolific...

49:07 borrower from Silverado Savings. When the Thrift was near collapse, one of Reeder's companies defaulted on a $14 million loan. He was also affiliated with Herman Beebe, which we've talked about a lot, as part of the whole savings and loan debacle. In a 1985 report, the Comptroller of the Currency on Beebe's Banking and Insurance Empire listed San...

49:40 Guacinto Savings, which was another part of the Galatas, NBC, Lincoln, Silverado, Daisy chain money laundering thing. Hessler in 1987 would join the board of Les Wexner's company, The Limited. This was the same year that Jeffrey Epstein entered Wexner's inner circle. At the same time when he was chairing that office.

50:12 with Evangeline Galatas. And Tesla would also become chairman of the company's finance committee. Tesla appears in Epstein's contact book in the numbers. Ford Tesla is a company called Data Broadcasting Corporation, which is an electronic news summary entity that was acquired by Earl Bryan's Infotechnology.

50:48 around that same time frame. So in 1982, the Galatas adventure into the wide world of savings and loans was getting started. Evangeline Galatas left Chicago and moved to New York because she was getting married to the New York governor, Hugh Carey. She married him just three months after meeting him. And they also had a tie, both of them, to that shake.

51:24 law firm. Carrie, actually, her husband, the governor, had worked at that law firm, and Shea was a personal friend of his. Let's see. A guy by the name of Arthur Emil, M-E-M-I-L, an attorney at a different law firm, was a OSS alumni.

52:00 and had worked to set up the World Finance Corporation. He was friends of Governor Kerry as well and part of his campaign finance committee. There were allegations that Anthony Scotto, head of the International Longshoremen Association and a racketeer for the Cambino crime family, had provided large sums of money for Mario Cuomo and Kerry around the same time.

52:33 Edgar Brothman alleged to have made $350,000 loan to Kerry to help pay off his campaign debt. So basically, Kerry was a bot man. Governor Kerry wasn't the only place where author, email, and Edgar Brothman could be found together. In 1980, he was a board of Gulfstream Land and Development Corporation, which was a huge thing down in Florida. And the Brothmans served,

53:03 as chairman. In 1986, Gulfstream was purchased by a real estate developer named Kenneth Good using $250 million he had borrowed from a variety of sources. This included $70 million in dump bonds and $90 million from a major East Coast bank. The rest of it came from Florida Savings and Loans.

53:30 Good's attorney was Norman Brownstein, the same attorney who sat on the board of Silverado and represented MDC. He also represented American Invesco and the Galatis. After Gulfstream was acquired, Good put two new individuals on the board, one of which was Brownstein, and the other one was Neil Bush, the brother of then-

53:59 Vice President George H.W. Bush. When the Silverado family collapsed, when Silverado finally collapsed, the blame was placed on Good and one of his business associates named Bill Walters. The pair not only walked away from more than $132 million in debt, both were invested in J&B Exploration, an oil company that had been formed by Neil Bush.

54:31 in 1983. Remarkably, Bush had invested a mere $100 into the company, while Goode and Walters had put in $160,000, and a bank Walters controlled issued J&B a $1.75 million line of credit. It was two years after this operation was up and running that Bush arrived at Silverado.

54:57 with the savings and loans subsequently issuing multi-million dollar loans to Good and Walters. Real estate development and other investments across the country were the recipients of this money. Were the Colorado shenanigans that ensnared Bush, Brownstein, Walters, and Good just a case of cronyism when it came to lending services, or was there something else going on? The problem with the suspect savings and loan lending

55:29 During this period, without having a full picture of where the money was coming from, it's difficult to figure out the significance of where it's actually going. It becomes clear that the flow of money was often related to the broader money laundering networks that involved organized crime and intelligence services, and that the con-related daisy chain that Silverado had engaged with that involved MDC, the Gallaudet, and the Queens.

56:03 So it's the possibility that paint Silverado's lending activities in a darker light. The whole operation of Silverado appeared in Operation Polar Cap, a major DEA investigation into the Middle East hotel money laundering network in the U.S., culminating in

56:31 By the end of the 1980s, the Polar Tap involved revelations around La Mina, the mine, a triangle of information linking banks, jewelers, and precious metal dealers in Florida, New York, and L.A. And the environment basically said it was the exploitation of legitimate gold mines for the purpose of laundering illegitimate money. This involved linking up with taking.

57:02 control of gold mines in Peru, Venezuela, Chile, Uruguay, etc. of access to U.S. gold refineries and jewelry stores amalgamating money generated through legitimate gold sales with drug money to conceal its origin. Now let me just point one thing out for all of my diehard followers. What does Peru

57:31 Venezuela, Chile, and Paraguay all have in common? And you only get one guess. What do all of those countries have in common? All right, where'd you go? Operation Gladio. Every single one of those countries has been taken over by the CIA and had a dictator installed where all of their resources were being stolen.

58:15 Some of the money was reinvested by the cartel to fund its operations. Coups, yes, every single one of them. Every single one of those countries had a coup where their duly elected president was either murdered or just taken out of office and a dictator installed by the CIA. So they could come in and do this very thing. Laundered money.

58:49 for airplanes, boats into the United States, bought cocoa paste in Bolivia and Peru. Later accounts in Banco and Occidente and BCCI were identified by the U.S. and Canadian police as having been used to purchase aircraft used to ferry the drug. The Canadian police also identified a number of cartel operatives and plane manufacturers and fixed-based operators such as Avial,

59:20 in Columbia, Eagle Air in Memphis, and Downtown Air in Oklahoma City. We might want to look up Downtown Air in Oklahoma City, especially given this time frame. So, what I'm telling you is this is Operation Gladio. The details of Silverado's connection to the Lamina and to the related money laundering operations are unknown.

59:51 Not to us, it's not. We know everything about it. There are several reasons to consider the possibility that cartel money laundering was key to this network. You bet it was. So she points out four things why she thinks it's key. While BCCI accounts were directly used by the cartels, other banks in the wider BCCI network were also deployed.

1:00:24 Neil Bush's brother, Jeb Bush, was close to a major Florida GOP activist and fundraiser named Leonel Martinez. Ostensibly a prominent construction magnate, Martinez was involved in trafficking cocaine and marijuana to Florida and Columbia. Both Martinez and Jeb were boosters of the Congress, and Martinez was particularly close to Eden.

1:00:56 Pastora, the same Eden Pastora who appeared in Cabazon, the Indian Reservation, in the company of Earl Bryan and the Silverado borrower, Wayne Reeder. Number three, according to another author, the final leg of Danny Casolaro's investigation was into connections between his octopus and cartel money laundering that focused on Michael Abel.

1:01:25 A-B-B-E-L-L, a high-ranking DOJ official turned cartel attorney. The cartel in that case, however, was the Cali cartel, not the Mendelian cartel. But you and I know that that doesn't matter because the CIA controls all of the cartels. One of the New York banks utilized, number four, one of the banks used by the Mendelian money laundering network also turned up in polar caps.

1:01:55 was Republic National Bank. And if y'all remember Republic National Bank, that's the bank that Safra, the guy that got burned up, was in charge of, and where Robert Maxwell was known to have banked also. So the Galatas in New York, part two. In 1985, Evangeline Galatas Carey oversaw the relocation of Tamco.

1:02:25 Merchant Banking subsidiary, IMB Capital to New York City. And also became a family member tasked with overseeing its operation. So basically they put her in charge of it. It had a working front company called 457 Corp. And it acquired Electronic Realty Associates.

1:02:56 from its financially troubled parent company, Control Data Corp. Part and parcel of this acquisition was a software program that had been developed for ERA, and it was called Remote Mortgage Origination, a computerized pre-qualification origination loan tracking process and underwriting network. RMO had been developed as an affiliate of ERA.

1:03:27 to a commercial credit mortgage company. A perusal of newspaper archives and other records show that commercial credit often worked with various savings and loan associations. Controlled Data Corporation, CDC, previously discussed in connection with Thomas, the World Bank, and technology transfers in Chapter 9, was a longtime defense contractor that was...

1:03:59 started by a team of engineers dedicated to code-breaking technology. It began to acquire various technology-oriented firms that were less directly connected to national security. They hired Edwin Wilson, and remember Edwin Wilson? He's the guy that was in charge of that fake Navy front company as part of Operation Gladio. Possibly...

1:04:30 Consultants International, where Robert Gray, the PR guy, served on the board. Notably, this would take place prior to the shutdown of the Navy Task Force 157, which is that fake front company where Wilson was working. Wilson apparently bugged the office of Army Material Command, which we knew. The address for the New York City corporate

1:05:00 Headquarters of IMB Capital was 457 Madison Avenue, which is the location of that Velarde house, which is where Jeffrey Epstein and that Velarde ship's office was. This suggests that they shared an office with those people and that the offices were tied to some of the steaming and real estate investments.

1:05:31 And what's interesting to me is if you have a software that does pre-qualification, origination, loan tracking, underwriting, and basically then approval of purchasing real estate, and you have the same people that did the backdoor into Promise owns the software that is processing all the mortgages.

1:06:04 How's it getting better than that if you're embezzling black money into real estate? And if you're not paying cash for it with your ill-gotten gains, you're borrowing from these savings and loans uncollateralized loans. This is how they did it. All of us, at least me, are scratching my head. I understand that a bank officer could.

1:06:32 loan you a million dollars not collateralize it i don't know how you would have gotten away with that very often but if you're controlling the loan software system you can get away with it all day long because no one's going to see it you can make that system say whatever you want but in reality they weren't collateralized but they were approved anyway because they were controlling the underwriting and maybe the underwriter

1:07:04 the real underwriter never even saw it so that's very fascinating okay um this next area is very interesting and this is the we're just going to get through this chapter or this section of the chapter um and it has to deal with donald trump and i'm going to tell you we already know whitney's not a big fan of donald trump i would take reading this section

1:07:35 for those of us who are Donald Trump fans, that when she relates his actual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, I look at that until I'm proven wrong, that he could have been doing it in a more, like he did with working with the FBI against Epstein when all of those people come forward. The FBI agent said he was very helpful.

1:08:06 providing information, providing whatever details. The same way he worked with the FBI in the casino crimes and mafia connections in New Jersey. He went into that market. He collected a lot of information for them and basically was an informant. So that very much same thing could be true. And I would argue, and that's why kind of,

1:08:37 I find it interesting that she won't even entertain that, even though there's evidence of it already existing that he has been an informant. So when she recalls these in a very accusatory manner, which you have to throw out reason at that point, because if somebody has repeatedly proven themselves to be an informant, then you would almost default on the other side of that in at least.

1:09:06 entertaining the idea that he could still been being an informant since it's all at the same time. This is not recent. This is way back in the day. So anyway, I just find it interesting. She's very close-minded about that. That's just my opinion. So Donald Trump, the real estate mogul, and Jeffrey Epstein, the property developer. In 1987 was a pivotal year for Epstein, the year he came involved with the Hoppenbergs, the Galatas, and Donald Trump, Les Wexner.

1:09:37 Both Trump and Wexner were involved in New York real estate, as were the Galatians. Epstein would begin framing himself as a property developer while maintaining all of his old financial tricks. He was involved in the sale of the same property multiple times, all for minuscule sums, including some as low as $1. That tells me he's money laundering.

1:10:12 He mysteriously obtained the one apartment that had been rigged with all the cameras and stuff from the U.S. State Department. And there was some shyster dealing that went along with that as well. He mainly stayed in commercial real estate, which, of course, we know is the target of post-money laundering. And let's see.

1:10:39 He also stayed in primarily New York City and Palm Beach. She puts him in the same boat with Trump because it's kind of where his primary investment was initially, but obviously has property all over. Also, she brings in the son-in-law, Jared Kushner, because he's very much into the whole real estate investment with his dad.

1:11:04 She does say that he's been accused of both permitting or engaging in money laundering. I've not read any of that. I'm just reporting that. Money laundering accusations with later dog Trump during his political career. I don't know that it did. And I mean, I understand that there's been those allegations about Jared Kushner. Mainstream press misleadingly painted.

1:11:35 a Russian mobster connection as meaning that Trump was owned by Vladimir Putin. Although we know that there is Russian mob people. And her point is that by them tagging Vladimir Putin in the way that they did, if he was guilty of it, that would have screwed everything up as he would have been guilty of it with this guy, Simeon McGillivet.

1:12:04 which we've talked about repeatedly in here, he's the guy that was partners with Robert Maxwell. And he's the one that had ties to the organized crime and the whole money laundering thing. So had they really wanted to work a scam on Trump, they wouldn't have attached him to Vladimir Putin. They'd attached him to this guy, which they did not do.

1:12:28 Thus, the connections point more to money laundering on behalf of the Maxwell-connected criminal enterprise than the actual Russian government. So she's basically saying they missed their opportunity there if that's what they were trying to do. Trump very much appeared to exist in the Robert Maxwell orbit. He was photographed attending parties on his yacht, which he was.

1:12:57 His relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been very well established, as well as Jeslene Maxwell. Epstein is known to have met Trump in 87. And Hoffenberg would later tell the Washington Post that during this period, Donald's crowd was my crowd, meaning that Hoffenberg held around with Donald Trump, but he also lived in the same building. In 1988,

1:13:29 Trump purchased the Plaza Hotel. And what's interesting about that, I was wondering when we were reading that earlier, if that was the same hotel. The Trump Tower was previously the Plaza Hotel. And Plaza Hotel is where the Blue Suite was, where they were having all of the homosexual orgies with supposedly the FBI director and all of that that we learned in the first chapter of this book.

1:13:59 That's like, ew. Trump's lawyer, we know, was Cohn. And we also know from his switchboard operator, Christine Seymour, that Trump called Cohn regularly, sometimes up to five times a day. Trump used to host parties in the suite at the Plaza Hotel when he owned it.

1:14:31 women and girls and drugs there. And there's a reference for it. It's kind of as far as I'm concerned. And had it been more significant, I'm sure much more would have been made out of it. It's not like they haven't used completely fake stories. So if that was a real story, I find it odd that they missed it. There was a guide male model.

1:15:01 that said that he had went to several of the parties and basically said that there were underage girls. He didn't ask questions. He just participated in it, which again is ew. Tom Barrick was part of a group called the Nightlife Musketeers, and him...

1:15:30 and supposedly Trump and a guy by the name of Michael Wolff kind of all, oh, Michael Wolff's the author that was saying this, they kind of went around to different parties, partied at the Palm Beach houses, and let's see, parties, they talked about the parties at Mar-a-Lago in 92, and photographs.

1:16:00 him of Trump and just named Maxwell that a Florida business man by the name of George Orany. He organized an exclusive calendar competition that supposedly only had Trump and Epstein in attendance. I'm just telling y'all this. I want you to know it. Part of the book. Also, she

1:16:31 Talks about him being on that one flight from New York to Palm Beach on Jeffrey Epstein's plane, which we know about. Epstein is on record as claiming he's the one that introduced Trump to Melania at a Fashion Week event. Also talks about a convicted fraudster, Conrad Black, who appears in Epstein's book.

1:17:02 In 2000, Epstein, Maxwell, and Prince Andrew attended a celebrity tennis match at Mar-a-Lago, and there were lots of pictures taken of everybody together, which happens every day there. And, of course, we know that Jeffrey Epstein was never a dues member at Mar-a-Lago, and eventually Trump kicked him out after one of the staff said he was trying to pick them up.

1:17:38 Let's see what else. We've got in 2004, two men, they had a falling out and it was over a piece of property that they both were trying to buy. And that's when later on, the attorney Brad Edwards says that Trump has been very cooperative about him preparing the case against Epstein.

1:18:22 And let's see. That's pretty much it. The next section that we're going to get into when we continue with this chapter is Epstein's Real Estate Web. And it has some really interesting twists and turns because, of course, you cross paths again with the Bushes. It's amazing how many times when you start talking about organized crime, you come across the Bushes.

1:18:50 So anyway, that's kind of where we're at right now. I'm going to mark my place. Did anybody have any questions about anything that we covered? Anything that they want me to do a little bit more research on and come back and talk about next time? Now's the time. Let me know. So also, if you guys wouldn't mind.

1:19:21 Hit the follow button so that we can get more followers so our videos show up better. Push the thumbs up button so that everybody somehow, I don't know anything about the electronic part of this, but the algorithms, if someone's searching on something that we're talking about, it'll come up higher based on the number of people that like each episode. So I appreciate y'all.

1:19:48 Being here, I appreciate everybody that's going to be watching this. And we look forward to getting finished with this book. Because what I'm going to do is I'm going to take, my hair feels like it's padded in my head. I'm going to take probably this next week and see if I can't get some of the charts done. I showed at the very beginning of this.

1:20:19 um the relationship chart so i probably won't be doing too many they won't be i'm not going to do a schedule for this next week um but if i have a few hours um to do a pop-up one i'll post on there about more ahead of time make it fine if you can't um i will share it afterwards so i'll make it easy that you can go catch up on it um but

1:20:47 I appreciate y'all being here very, very much. And I just want to be able to have something for y'all. There's so many of you now doing your own research. I would love for y'all to have something that we can all access. And when you come across a name, this one that I found, which I actually love, you could just put your cursor over the name so you can search up in a search bar. It brings it up, shows you where it's at on the chart.

1:21:15 if you put your cursor over the name then only the things the the boxes sort of have like businesses and people and you can draw relationship lines to all of them and you can when you hover over one of them everything else recedes where you can't see it and all you see is their network so for example when we come across um castle bank

1:21:42 in here where we've not talked about Castle Bank in like 10 chapters. So your brain's going Castle Bank, Castle Bank. Oh, that's Paul Helliwell's bank. And you can go on this chart while we're talking and you can look over the Castle Bank or Paul Helliwell and go, oh, Paul Helliwell worked for the CIA. Paul Helliwell worked for the OSS and his lawyer was this and blah, blah, blah. And it just shows you that entire network.

1:22:11 And it's amazing. And it is a open software, so it's on the internet and anybody can access it. We may, depending on how this works out, have to create an account. If I ever get anybody from Rumble, that's exactly what I would use it for. I would set up an account so we could all have access to it, but other people can't.

1:22:37 So they can't change it. It's the worst thing that can happen is we invest all of this time and effort to doing it. And then somebody is able to go in and kind of wipe them all out. Now, I can download the database that I did. You can either work on the actual diagram or you can work on a spreadsheet that's embedded in it. And I can download that spreadsheet. So I would just have to re-upload it. And that's what I do when I play with it.

1:23:06 So either way, I mean, it wouldn't be a devastating loss. I just don't want to have to upload it every time. And if we could create an account at that time, I definitely would do that. So anyway, that's kind of where we're at. My daughter's trying to set this up so that we would feed to YouTube too, so we can get more views on this. Not that I think any of this would stay up for very long on YouTube, but if there's anything else that we could stream to.

1:23:35 um that y'all like watching videos on more than rumble i'm open to any of that stuff um i obviously don't want to have too many of them because some of them you do have to pay for um but i would put it wherever um you think it's going to get the most views so anyway that's all i got for today have a nice evening if i don't see you again before christmas merry christmas um hopefully i will

1:24:03 um but we'll kind of play it by ear i've got like a day's worth of work we're almost done okay let me just close out with this um i gotta show you all this um almost done with the shed um i'm gonna start calling it cottage because it looks so dang good um that um let me get my photos

1:24:35 Let's go all the way down here. Okay. So here's a barn door and my handsome husband. This is the garage. It's a four-car garage. We came out through this door. It is nine feet of storage towards the back of the garage. It's two cars long and two cars wide. We're doing the whole edge.

1:25:05 in the wainscoting and i made this door you can see i distressed it and then i chalk painted all of the cedar um and he did the barn door they're not amazing this is a better picture of it here and let's see then this is the shed um the cottage that's the roof these are actually fence um panels like when you repair the they're one by six

1:25:36 And I just chalk paint them, distress them. I have used these in other projects. Like I have a bar that I wrapped it in. And we have a fencing company where they just put the fenced panels out there. I usually just pull all the nails out of them and use the boards. And I chalk paint them to be whatever color I want. So we did put wall board because it's cheap and easy. And that's what it's going to look like.

1:26:04 on the walls and then this is the ceiling it has two lofts on each end and i'm going to change this light out i found another one that i absolutely love so there's another one we did puck lights and we built little cedar boxes for them and this flooring i love the flooring it looks very um plain my daughter tells me and i'm like i know but it's not going to look plain when i'm done um

1:26:33 I just want the whole palette to be neutral. Okay, so here's a video. It turned out weird because I started off sideways. So then it makes it go sideways up there. I don't know how to make it go back the way it's supposed to. But you can turn your head. So the ceiling rafters, he put the cedar to hide the insulation there. And we've got that one section to do.

1:27:05 the beams up there today and then he trimmed out my windows i just figured out what i'm going to do with the doors today so i need to get that done tomorrow there's one of the windows and then there's what it looks like up top and we still have the ends to do so it turned out amazing so now all we got to do is get all of the furniture in it and um let's see that's it

1:27:44 So let me see. Merry Christmas, everybody. And again, I will get any videos I'm going to do in the meantime out there for everybody to be able to watch at your leisure. Thanks for being here and I'll see you soon.
