“The Intel Report with C.I.A Larry Johnson - Trump's Conundrum”

17 July 2025. transcript:

28:58

You know, I don't know if they were threatening to um if they had any other leverage over

29:05

Trump, but uh Trump is trying to prevent —

29:11

it is going to be the Streisand effect. The Streisand effect is uh there years ago

29:18

Barbara Streisand someone's got a picture of her home on the cliffs above Malibu

29:24

looking out on the Pacific Ocean and she tried to she went on a campaign to try

29:29

to get that picture suppressed. Well, the harder she worked to suppress it, the more people wanted to see it, the

29:34

more attention it drew. So that's that's exactly what Trump has done, trying to shut down this Jeffrey Epstein. He has

29:41

suddenly made Jeffrey Epstein more relevant than he's been for, you know,

29:47

what is it, five years, uh, six years now when he he died in 2019.

29:55

They're um, what's what's amazing is the propaganda as well that's surrounding

30:00

this. Excuse me. Um, the the

30:07

there's a great great video. Sorry. There's a great video of Bill O'Reilly.

30:14

He's being interviewed on one of these television shows and he starts out saying, you know, blaming uh Epstein's

30:21

arrest on Obama and and that it happened

30:26

under Obama and and and the news anchor says, "Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second." And if he had to correct Bill

30:34

O'Reilly, he said, "No, that that was Trump. Trump is the one who had him arrested” and O'Reilly's face is like

30:41

what? So there's so much um this really is a

30:49

an ugly scandal because you saw um

30:56

that Bill Barr who was was under there was under federal prosecution when

31:02

Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019. Well, Bill Barr's father was the

31:07

headmaster at the Dalton School of select uh school in New York, private.

31:15

Got to be wealthy to go there. And he used to uh Barr's father prided himself

31:21

on only hiring Ivy League, you know, graduates who came out of Ivy League

31:26

universities. Yet he hired Jeffrey Epstein, who was a college dropout who

31:32

didn't have a college degree. And uh then Bill Barr's father later went

31:37

on to write a book about powerful men

31:42

having sex with children. So right there in you know the guy that even thinks

31:49

about that tells you there's something wrong. Um so here's Bill Barr who arrests him

31:57

and then it's on Bill Barr's watch that he dies. Um the the one of the the

32:03

prosecutors in that case was uh Maurine Comey, Jim Comey's daughter. Why is that

32:10

relevant? Well, there's flight log showing that Jim Comey was on, James

32:17

Comey was on Jeffrey Epstein's plane flying from the he'd been out at the island,

32:23

flew from the island into Norway on one trip. So, you know, you got all these

32:29

connections to Epstein. Uh they're trying to cover something up. Trump uh I

32:35

I don't know if Trump was blackmailed or if Trump was warned that if he did this, it would damage the intelligence community.

32:42

Uh, and you can't rule out the possibility that um, they're trying to shut down all attention on this because

32:49

Epstein may actually still be alive that they staged his death in order to get

32:54

esc have him escape and get back into the protection of the MOSAD.

33:00

But, you know, Trump's attack on his base to tell people that or his

33:07

supporters were he had talked about doing this. He had talked about investigating this. His son had made

33:14

promises. Cash Patel had made promises. Dan Bongino had made promises.

33:20

And now he's calling them stupid and, you know, calling it bullshit.

33:29

It's just, you know, and I don't want your support. Oh yeah, you're so you're

33:35

so popular right now, Mr. President, and like 45%. Yeah, you don't need more support.

33:41

What an idiot. I mean, Trump's proved to be just a complete clown.

33:48

Um, I'm done with him personally. INTERVIEWER: Do Do you think more people are moving

33:53

uh towards that position? Because when you lash out at your base and and literally curse them out publicly for

34:00

the whole world to see and say, "I don't need you." and anybody that does X Y and Z uh is full of BS and um and they're

34:08

they're buying in the Kool-Aid. Don't do you think his advisers are telling him that this is not a a great

34:15

strategic move? JOHNSON: Well, I hope they are, but you know, you don't have to be, you know, even Helen

34:20

Keller can see what's going on now because uh when you've got Candace Owens

34:27

that, and she's I think she's going to like run a program on Epstein now every day.

34:32

Uh, and I I watched her yesterday. That girl's digging in. She is she's not having she's not taking

34:40

any of it. She is, We're going to lay out chapter and verse. Tucker Carlson, he's doing another program tonight on Epstein

34:49

uh with Daryl Cooper. Um the the the number of people like Ryan Dawson who've

34:56

got a lot of expertise on it are there. These people are in great demand now and

35:02

they're showing up. So instead of Trump instead of, you know, quieting this down

35:09

and taking the focus off, is heating it up. Now, let's let's say

35:15

that his real purpose, let's let's try to say that what he's really trying to do is blow the blow the lid off of this.

35:22

And so he's doing sort of reverse psychology. He's going to blow the lid off of it by attacking those who believe

35:30

it and making such outlandish statements so that it will bring all this

35:35

attention. And once you got all that attention, then you can turn around and say, "Oh, I was wrong. There was, you

35:40

know, who knows?" But but it doesn't appear to be. It's just sort of a crazy

35:46

counterproductive tactic if that's what he's doing. I I don't think so. I I think he genuinely is trying to shut it

35:53

down because of uh the damage it would do to Israel. This is all about protecting Israel.

15 July 2025 George Galloway: Epstein was a secret multibillionaire Mossad member.

MY COMMENT: The American people live under occupation by Israel’s Government, not by invading America but by controlling every U.S. President after Kennedy was assassinated, and controlling the vast majority of the members of Congress. Israel controls our Government. Actually, America’s billionaires control the U.S. Government, but apparently they have some arrangement with Israel’s billionaires which guarantees that on any issue that is top priority for Israel’s Government, Israel’s policy will also be the U.S. Government’s policy. So, Israel’s control over our Government pertains ONLY to those matters. Fortunately, those matters are doing more damage to America’s reputation than any other, and, so, America’s billionaires might, at some point, instruct their Senators and Representatives to vote against Israel. U.S. billionaires’ profits from arms-exports wouldn’t be much affected by cutting off such exports to Israel. Though arms exports by the USA increased by 21 per cent from the period 2015–19, to 2020–24, and America’s share of global arms exports grew from 35 per cent to 43 per cent between those two periods, those increases were due mainly to supplying Ukraine with weapons (which is one reason why the U.S. Government wants that war to continue), secondarily to supplying Europe with weapons (which is one reason why the U.S. Government wants its European stooge-regimes to terrify their respective publics against ‘the Russian threat’), and thirdly to supplying the Sauds with weapons. Though America’s billionaires are all Zionists, not all of them are as concerned about Israel as they are about their net-worths, and, so, dumping Israel could come to be an attractive investment-decision for them.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
