🧵🧵How much do you think people like Obama, Clinton and other leftist aligned global interests would hide for the opportunity to access $1 trillion dollars worth of foreign investment in oil, aviation, banking, shipping and telecom contracts?
Do you think they would look the other way when they realized one of the key shady power players had a team of women plus all of his staff procure and fly out underage girls that he abused in his depraved world?

Marc Rich: The Original Sanctions Profiteer
Marc Rich pioneered the art of profiting from sanctioned regimes, most infamously by buying Iranian oil during the U.S. embargo and selling it through secret routes. He built vast wealth through opaque offshore companies, setting a model for navigating around sanctions, manipulating commodities markets, and leveraging global connections.
In the 1970s and 80s, he pioneered the spot oil market, buying crude on short notice and flipping it for profit.
He continued trading with Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and during the U.S. hostage crisis, blatantly violating U.S. sanctions.
He was indicted for tax evasion and illegal trading but never stood trial living in Swiss exile until he was controversially pardoned by President Bill Clinton in 2001, after significant donations to Clinton-linked foundations by his ex-wife Denise Rich.

Ehud Barak: The Israeli Connector
Barak, former Prime Minister and elite special forces operative, bridged the worlds of military intelligence, finance, and global tech. His name surfaced in U.S. legal chatter around Rich, but he was never charged.
He was very close to Clinton and Obama. He even lobbied on behalf of Marc Rich for a Clinton pardon. In late 2002, Haaretz reported that Barak “failed to reply to questions posed by federal prosecutors in New York,” which triggered talk of an arrest threat—but no action followed....
Barak and Rich had overlapping circles, particularly within elite financial, intelligence, and national security communities in Israel and Europe.
As a major figure in Israeli tech and defense, Barak later became chair of Carbyne, a surveillance-tech firm funded by Jeffrey Epstein, and invested in by Peter Thiel.
Barak moved seamlessly between national security, high finance, and global elite networks, making him a perfect bridge between past clandestine operations (Rich) and the modern data-security state (Carbyne, Thiel, Epstein).

EPSTEIN: FINANCIAL FIXER & NETWORKER
Though Epstein never publicly traded oil, his entire career revolved around moving capital for the ultra-wealthy, often through offshore structures.
He was Les Wexner’s money manager, held power of attorney, and allegedly misappropriated hundreds of millions.
Epstein used the U.S. Virgin Islands as a laundering base through entities like Southern Trust Company, which received over $150 million from Leon Black alone.
He invested in Israeli intelligence-adjacent ventures like Carbyne (with Barak) and Palantir and had connections to high-powered political figures on both the left and right.
While no direct record ties Epstein to Marc Rich’s oil deals, he did have the next best thing in his little black book the number of Conrad Black.
Epstein didn’t just traffic underage girls to himself and Ghislaine (as victim statements clearly say they had threesomes)—he moved enormous sums of money for billionaires like Les Wexner and Leon Black, using shell companies like Southern Trust in the Virgin Islands. He also bankrolled Carbyne, connecting him directly to Israeli defense infrastructure via Barak.
Epstein moved capital through opaque jurisdictions and had elite access to politicians.

CLINTON, OBAMA & THE SANCTIONS-TO-PROFIT PIPELINE
Bill Clinton’s 2001 pardon of Marc Rich shocked the political world. Rich had fled the U.S. in 1983 after being indicted for trading with Iran, racketeering, and tax fraud and yet Clinton pardoned him on his final day in office.
This decision was widely viewed as influenced by Denise Rich’s donations to the Clinton Library and DNC.
Under Obama, the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) opened the door for billions in frozen assets to return to Iran, and for foreign companies to profit from Iran’s re-entry into global energy, banking, aviation, and tech.
Though Obama sought the deal for non-proliferation, it also mirrored Marc Rich’s original playbook:
Use backchannels (European firms, SWIFT restoration).
Funnel money through complex trade finance systems.
Let elites and state-linked firms on all sides benefit.
Notably:
Glencore (founded by Rich) quickly pursued oil opportunities post-JCPOA.
European energy giants like Total and Royal Dutch Shell signed billions in MOUs with Iran.
Banks, hedge funds, and asset managers prepared to enter Iranian markets via proxies or joint ventures.

WHY THIS MATTERS:
This web exposes the architecture of modern elite influence:
Sanctions regimes are not impenetrable walls, but negotiated markets for those with the right access.
Global crises (like Iran’s isolation) create profit windows for traders, banks, intelligence-linked firms, and asset managers.
People like Rich and Epstein are not anomaly they’re symptoms of a system where laws are flexible for the powerful, and connections span from Pentagon-backed surveillance startups to sex-trafficking compounds.
The Rich–Barak–Epstein–Clinton–Obama matrix doesn’t point to a conspiracy in the Hollywood sense—but rather to a cohesive elite model:
A transnational class of power brokers who move capital, bend rules, and leverage diplomacy and technology to serve elite interests.
Understanding this pattern is key—not just to unpacking the past, but to watching how similar structures emerge around China, AI, surveillance, sanctions, and resource conflict today.

The JCPOA: The Trillion-Dollar Deal Window
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—signed in 2015 was not just about limiting Iran’s nuclear program. It was a massive financial unlock for elite global networks.
How Much Money Was at Stake? $100–150 billion in unfrozen Iranian assets.
A projected $1 trillion in foreign investment over a decade, per European financial forecasts.
Billions in oil, aviation, banking, shipping, and telecom contracts.
SWIFT reintegration allowed banking access and digital transaction infrastructure reactivation—essential for hedge funds, asset managers, and PE firms with offshore arms.
Who Stood to Profit?
European companies like Total, Airbus, Siemens.
Wall Street-connected investment firms positioning via proxies and joint ventures.
Defense tech investors like Peter Thiel (via Palantir and Carbyne).
Private equity elites with Middle East exposure and diplomatic cover.
Clinton-Obama aligned networks through NGOs, foreign policy think tanks, and donor-backed “development” ventures.
Obama’s Circles and Their Stakes:
Many individuals and institutions within Obama’s political, donor, and advisory ecosystem were positioned to benefit directly from Iran’s reintegration:
Former Obama officials went into consulting and investment firms quietly tracking Iran’s opening markets.
Foundations, law firms, and multilateral NGOs—all of which supported the JCPOA—had overlapping donors with Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Clinton-world.
Biden’s later foreign policy team also emerged from this Obama-era network of Iran deal architects and investment strategists.

Clintons and their network stood to gain both financially and geopolitically from the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) and from their ties to key figures in elite finance, including Marc Rich’s associates and Jeffrey Epstein.
While there’s no definitive proof of illegal enrichment, the Clinton ecosystem was deeply embedded in the structures and institutions that stood to benefit from:
Lifting Iranian sanctions
Expanding Western access to Iranian markets
High-level lobbying and investment access
While there’s no definitive proof of illegal enrichment, the Clinton ecosystem was deeply embedded in the structures and institutions that stood to benefit from:

High-level lobbying and investment access
The Clinton Foundation accepted donations from many Middle Eastern-linked interests, including:
Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia (geopolitical players heavily affected by the JCPOA),
Wealthy investors and banking firms that would later position themselves to profit from post-JCPOA investment access in Iran and surrounding regions.
While no donations from Iran or its proxies have been documented, the Foundation’s donor base heavily overlapped with entities preparing to engage with Iran commercially once sanctions were lifted.

Hillary Clinton & JCPOA Framework
As Secretary of State (2009–2013), Hillary Clinton helped:
Build the sanctions regime that pressured Iran to negotiate.
Set the diplomatic table for the JCPOA, which was finalized under John Kerry in 2015.
She later supported the deal publicly, defending it in 2015 and during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Strategic benefit: While Clinton was no longer in office by the time the JCPOA was signed, her allies in think tanks, law firms, and global consulting groups were deeply involved in shaping and preparing for post-sanctions economic openings.

Clinton World’s Ties to Epstein & His Network
Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet at least 26 times, including international trips.
Epstein donated to the Clinton Foundation and was listed as a contact in Clinton circles.
Ghislaine Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, highlighting deep social ties.
Epstein’s role as a financial fixer and access broker placed him at the intersection of politics, capital, and diplomacy—a world the Clintons thrived in.
The Clintons didn’t just stand to benefit directly from Iran’s return to global markets—they were part of a transnational influence structure that shaped how, when, and who would get in first. Their ties to Marc Rich, Jeffrey Epstein, and global capital networks gave them both access and incentive to remain close to the machinery of profit built around the JCPOA.

Sure seems like many people had reasons with a whole lot of zeros to bury all of this forever.
But, I am sure that is not what happened. The Israel blackmail thing and the other men that have never been publically named thing is probably the story....
