Jeffrey Epstein and the American Empire w/ Van Jackson | The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer
Manage episode 519695343 series 2164030
The scandal around Jeffrey Epstein, who trafficked and abused children and died in a prison cell
in 2019, has never gone away. It continues to explode now that House Democrats have
released thousands of emails from Epstein and his cronies. But while the political class and
mainstream media are understandably focused on the sex scandal, another dimension of the
scandal goes uncovered except by independent media outlets such as Drop Site: Epstein’s deep
ties to the national security state. I talked to international relations scholar Van Jackson about
this crucial part of the story.
