An interview with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in prison while awaiting trial on charges of sexual exploitation and establishing a prostitution network involving underage girls in the U.S., has emerged. The interview describes how U.S. billionaire David Rockefeller established the "Trilateral Commission," which he defined as a consultative platform bringing together politicians and businesspeople from North America, Europe, and Asia.
Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in prison while being held on charges of establishing a sex trafficking network targeting underage girls in the U.S., stated in a recently surfaced interview that he founded the "Trilateral Commission," which was described by American billionaire David Rockefeller as a consultative platform bringing together politicians and businesspeople from North America, Europe, and Asia, and that this structure was sometimes referred to as a secret organization similar to the "Illuminati" that governs the world.
"TRILATERAL COMMISSION" SIMILAR TO "ILLUMINATI"
Following the announcement by U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that more than 3 million new files related to the investigation of Epstein had been shared with the public, various details emerged from the documents in question.
Among these was an interview that Epstein gave to former U.S. President Donald Trump's advisor Steve Bannon before his death, which gained significant attention according to foreign press.
In the interview, Epstein discussed his high-level connections in the business and political world, explaining that he was in close contact with American billionaire David Rockefeller.
Epstein conveyed that Rockefeller argued global politics should be addressed with the business world and leaders, and referred to the "Trilateral Commission," which he stated was established in line with this understanding.
Epstein mentioned that this structure was sometimes referred to as a secret organization similar to the "Illuminati" that governs the world, but that Rockefeller denied these claims.
Jeffrey Epstein claimed that the commission was designed as a "consultative platform" bringing together politicians and businesspeople from North America, Europe, and Asia.
Epstein stated that Rockefeller believed the business world played a more stable role compared to the limited terms of elected politicians, arguing that this was why such an organization was initiated.
Continuing in the interview, Epstein commented on his involvement at a young age in the management of the Rockefeller Foundation and within the "Trilateral Commission," explaining that he met Nobel Prize-winning academics and high-level politicians and businesspeople in these circles.
Epstein argued that these experiences revealed to him that money is often a sought-after but frequently misunderstood element in the business and political world.
Epstein also noted that one of the first meetings he attended for the "Trilateral Commission" was held in Tokyo in the early 1990s, stating that inflation was the most discussed topic at the meetings.
"TRILATERAL COMMISSION IS A BIT CREEPY"
Epstein used the following expressions about the "Trilateral Commission":
"David Rockefeller and I got along very well. He was an incredible person, respectful to everyone. He believed that there was a world where politics, business, and leadership intersected. He established something called the Trilateral Commission. The Trilateral Commission is a bit creepy. People said there were some members of the Illuminati here, that there were some mysteries about this, that these were the people who govern the world. And I looked at the names on the list; Bill Clinton, former President of the United States, Paul Volcker, every major leader in America, Asians, Japanese... They had very long titles next to their names."
EPSTEIN'S SELF-DESCRIPTION AS A "FIRST-CLASS SEX OFFENDER"
In the interview, Epstein rejected allegations that his wealth was "dirty money" and criticisms that he earned income by working with those who committed the worst acts. Epstein claimed that he used the said earnings for research on treating certain diseases in low-income countries.
In response to this defense, the interviewer asked Epstein how he would react if it were said that the money came from a third-level sex offender according to the official classification used for sex offenders in the U.S.
Epstein classified himself as a first-level "sex offender," which is a lower category that still falls under the definition of a crime, rather than a third-level offender.
When asked whether the recipients of the aid would know the source of the money, Epstein argued that even if this information were shared, their attitudes would not change.
When the interviewer compared Epstein to a "devil," Epstein rejected this characterization, using the expression "I have a good mirror," implying that he confronts himself.
THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN CASE
Epstein, who was charged with sexually abusing dozens of girls under the age of 18, including the youngest being 14, and establishing a prostitution network, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, New York, on August 10, 2019.
The disclosed Epstein case files included famous names such as former Prince Andrew, U.S. President Donald Trump, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, actor Kevin Spacey, singer Michael Jackson, illusionist David Copperfield, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
The FBI also stated that, as a result of its investigation with the U.S. Department of Justice, it found no evidence that a "client list" of famous individuals was maintained, and concluded that Epstein, who was alleged to have been murdered to cover up the crimes of individuals including government officials, celebrities, and businesspeople, actually committed suicide in his cell.
