It's 1981.
He's 28 years old.
We have him on a private airplane with a big-time British arms broker named Douglas Lease, very big player back in the 1980s, on a private plane to go to a meeting at the Pentagon with this guy.
Not if, yeah, so if you're looking at it in a conventional way, it doesn't make any sense.
Not if
make any
Right, and so you have to ask, what is it that a guy like Douglas Lease would be, what interest would he have in a guy like Jeffrey Epstein?
Even if he was a money man of some kind, presumably a guy like that can have any money man he wants.
Why does he need a guy like Jeffrey Epstein?
And I think the answer is, and this is the answer that a lot of researchers have come to over the years, and I think it's the most obvious one, at least, the simplest, is that when you look at the kind of things that somebody like Lise would do, it's not as if Lise owned a weapons manufacturer.
That's not what he did.
He was a fixer.
He was a guy who made the deals happen.
He made sure the right people got paid off and everything.
that everything was kind of smoothed over so that these things would go through.
He was mentioned, for example, in the UK Parliament in the 1980s in reference to the Al-Yamama weapons deal with Saudi Arabia, which is the biggest weapons deal in UK history, I think, to this day.
BAE Systems alone has made $46 billion off this deal over the years, and I think that was up through 2010 or something, so it's probably higher now.
But there have been allegations from politicians, from activists,
Lawyers, journalists, other weapons companies who were upset about their competition getting a leg up this way, that there was bribery, there was all kinds of shady stuff going on behind the scenes to make sure that the deal went the way that they wanted it to go.
And, you know, you think that a guy who is, you know, a guy like Lise whose job is to go around and make sure that people are being paid off with illicit funds that cannot be traced because then you end up like Lockheed Martin did when they got caught bribing officials in Japan to sign off on a weapons deal there.
