Want an accidentally great documentary about the Houston energy mafia?
Watch “Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room” with an eye to the deep city politics of Houston, Ken Lay’s business w/ George W Bush & George H W Bush, & the energy industry intrigues
Bob Mueller ran the cover-up for the CIA during the BCCI scandal (BCCI was the CIA money-laundering bank where Osama Bin Laden held multiple accounts), then from 1998-2001 Mueller ran the NorCal DOJ while 4 9/11 hijackers were active there, then 1 week b4 9/11 he became FBI head
Headlines from 1991, when the press fingered Bob Mueller as the main guy at DOJ covering up the CIA's role in BCCI's money-laundering for Osama Bin Laden's CIA-backed Mujahideen. Mueller became FBI Director exactly 1 week before that exact network is said to have attacked
John Kerry, who led the Senate investigation in 1991 into CIA malfeasance during the BCCI affair and "faced off" with Mueller over it at the time, testified 2 weeks after 9/11 that Osama Bin Laden personally had multiple bank accounts at BCCI.
I've now seen what several people pointed out -- Epstein's references to using a SCIF. Obviously, if Epstein meant that literally, it'd mean he was accessing classified material, or had escorted access for non-classified material in a SCIF setting. Not sure what to make of it 🧵
2. Take this exchange from May 7, 2018. "You would have loved my tech meeting in the SCIF" and saying "Ehud here with me" taken literally implies Epstein and Ehud Barak were in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility discussing classified material. justice.gov/epstein/files/…
3. But he follows it by saying "I laughed so loud that I thought it would be overheard in the neighborhood" and the earlier context around Central Park implies he is in NYC, so likely at his home. And he describes his NYC house as having a room "similar to a SCIF"
I'll add beyond the Epstein CIA Files we also need the Epstein State Department Files. One of the big mysteries of the Epstein 1990s is how in the flying hell he had the US Department of State as his personal landlord. State *at the very least* has files from then we should see.
2. The formal Epstein - State Dept relationship under the Clinton admin is gobsmacking for many reasons. First, Epstein visited the Clinton White House at least 17 times, so seemed to have a direct advisory, consultation or possibly a logistics coordination role in US statecraft
3. Second reason we need all State Dept records around this 1990s Epstein housing arrangement, esp its inbound comms from other agencies (CIA, namely) is BECAUSE EPSTEIN RENTED OUT THE MANSION TO THE DEFENSE LAWYER FOR TWO MAJOR DRUG RINGS THAT BOTH HAD ALLEGED CIA INVOLVEMENT
Trump State Dept must IMMEDIATELY review all recs & comms btwn (1) Biden’s State Dept, esp US Amb to France & Embassy, & (2) all French Ministry of Justice & Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacts, for FULL INTERNAL AUDIT of coordination on disinformation & platform governance work
2. And the same internal audit MUST be done vis a vis Biden State Dept & Spain. I am telling you, this exercise, combined with publication of the results of this audit, is an ABSOLUTE MUST.
3. I have meticulously documented over a decade’s body of work how the US State Dept built the Censorship Industrial Complex in France and in Spain through funding a swarm army grantee network of NGOs, flaggers, fact-checkers, university centers, & disinfo rapid-response units.
A couple interesting notes on the reveal that Obama’s White House Counsel (top lawyer to the President) Kathy Ruemmler emailed Jeffrey Epstein she was awarded the CIA Agency Medal just hours after getting the award 🧵
2) When I saw this, I wondered why I’d never heard this before. Her CIA Agency Award in 2015 was not and still has never been reported by any press outlet whatsoever, not even a fringe one. It’s not in her Wikipedia. It’s not in her extensive current Goldman Sachs bio.
3) I’ve covered many times, for example, how BlackRock’s Vice Chairman proudly lists his winning the CIA’s Director’s Award openly on his official BlackRock bio.
In 1999, Jeffrey Epstein anonymously FOIA'd the CIA to obtain all CIA records "that might reflect an open or otherwise acknowledged Agency affiliation" between himself and the CIA. In 2011, he wrote again to see if CIA had acknowledged any links with him in the 12 years since 🧵
2) By using a lawyer to go through the Privacy Act, this ensured the public couldn't know Jeffrey Epstein was the requester of the CIA records about himself, and all correspondence would remain between the CIA and Epstein's law firm.
3) First, I must point out this is an exceptionally interesting file in part because it is actionable. It discloses two CIA file reference numbers, Epstein's 1999 request for CIA records about himself (P-1999-02450) and Epstein's later 2011 request (P-2011-00673)
