In 2014, current CIA director William Burns had three meetings with Jeffrey Epstein when Burns was Obama’s deputy secretary of state, and after Epstein had been convicted of child sex exploitation, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Burns and Epstein first met in Washington prior to Burns visiting Epstein and his Manhattan townhouse, according to a trove of leaked documents that include Epstein’s schedules which were not contained in Epstein’s “black book” of contacts or flight logs.
Burns, who became CIA Director under Biden in 2021, met with Epstein while he was preparing to leave his position in the government, according to agency spokeswoman Tammy Kupperman Thorp.
“The director did not know anything about him, other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on transition to the private sector,” she said, adding “They had no relationship.”
Mr. Burns, 67 years old, a career diplomat and former ambassador to Russia, had meetings with Epstein in 2014 when Mr. Burns was deputy secretary of state.
A lunch was planned that August at the office of law firm Steptoe & Johnson in Washington. Epstein scheduled two evening appointments that September with Mr. Burns at his townhouse, the documents show. After one of the scheduled meetings, Epstein planned for his driver to take Mr. Burns to the airport.
Mr. Burns recalls being introduced in Washington by a mutual friend, and meeting Epstein once briefly in New York, said Ms. Thorp. “The director does not recall any further contact, including receiving a ride to the airport,” she said. -WSJ
One month after meeting with Epstein, in October 2014, Burns stepped down from this role at the State Department to serve as president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a think tank. He ran it until he was nominated by Biden to serve as CIA director in early 2021.
Epstein also had dozens of meetings with then-Obama White House attorney Kathryn Ruemmler, who went on to become Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer in 2020. Epstein also planned for her to join him in 2015 on a trip to Paris, and in 2017 to visit his private island in the Caribbean.
According to a spokesman for Goldman, Ruemmler had a ‘professional relationship’ with Epstein tied to her role at law firm Latham & Watkins LLP, and did not travel with him.
“I regret ever knowing Jeffrey Epstein,” she said.
According to the documents, however, they knew each other well enough… following Epstein’s 2006 conviction for sexually abusing girls in Florida as young as 14-years-old.
He asked for avocado sushi rolls to be on hand when meeting with Ms. Ruemmler, according to the documents. He visited apartments she was considering buying. In October 2014, Epstein knew her travel plans and told an assistant to look into her flight. “See if there is a first class seat,” he wrote, “if so upgrade her.”
Within weeks of Ruemmler’s 2014 departure from the Obama White House, Epstein planned an August lunch at his townhouse, followed by a series of meetings to introduce her to his acquaintances.
The two first met when Epstein called her to ask if she would be interested in representing the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation – a relationship which never panned out.
Epstein and his staff discussed whether Ms. Ruemmler, now 52, would be uncomfortable with the presence of young women who worked as assistants and staffers at the townhouse, the documents show. Women emailed Epstein on two occasions to ask if they should avoid the home while Ms. Ruemmler was there. Epstein told one of the women he didn’t want her around, and another that it wasn’t a problem, the documents show.
Ms. Ruemmler didn’t see anything that would lead her to be concerned at the townhouse and didn’t express any concern, the Goldman spokesman said. -WSJ
Epstein also connected Ruemmler with Ariane de Rothschild, current CEO of the Swiss private bank Edmond de Rothschild Group. Ruemmler’s law firm was hired by the bank to help them with US regulatory matters, according to the bank and the Goldman spokesman.
I have been asserting that Epstein was OBVIOUSLY not a major financier since well before his Florida arrest in 2006.
These leaders are meeting him years after his conviction and incarceration.
This thing appears just *impossibly* fake. I’m sorry. It seems fake. Just fake. https://t.co/vIyjwEshZx

De Rothschild, who married into the famous banking family, met with Epstein over a dozen times.
In September 2013, Epstein asked Mrs. de Rothschild in an email for help finding a new assistant, “female…multilingual, organized.”
“I’ll ask around,” Mrs. de Rothschild emailed back.
She bought nearly $1 million worth of auction items on Epstein’s behalf in 2014 and 2015, the documents show.
Mrs. de Rothschild was named chairwoman of the bank in January 2015. That October, she and Epstein negotiated a $25 million contract for Epstein’s Southern Trust Co. to provide “risk analysis and the application and use of certain algorithms” for the bank, according to a proposal reviewed by the Journal.
In 2019, after Epstein was arrested, the bank said that Mrs. de Rothschild never met with Epstein and it had no business links with him. -WSJ
The bank admitted to the Journal that it lied in its earler statement, and that Mrs. de Rothschild and Epstein met as part of her normal duties at the bank.
Other notables in the new report include;
- Leon Botstein, president of Bard College
- Noam Chomsky, who was scheduled to fly with Epstein to have dinner at the pedophile’s Manhattan townhouse in 2015
- Anthropologist Helen Fisher, who says she ‘didn’t have anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein, “But I remembered it because of his spectacular house and because of the six young women.”
- Joshua Cooper Ramo, then co-chief executive of Henry Kissinger’s corporate consulting firm.
- Harvard professor Martin Nowak
- Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak
More on Ehud Barak, given rumors that Epstein was running a Mossad honeypot operation;
Mr. Ramo also was invited to a breakfast at the townhouse in September 2013 with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, another regular guest, the documents show.
…
Mr. Barak also met Epstein in 2015 with Mr. Chomsky, now 94, a linguistics professor and political activist who has been critical of capitalism and U.S. foreign policy.
Mr. Chomsky said Epstein arranged the meeting with Mr. Barak for them to discuss “Israel’s policies with regard to Palestinian issues and the international arena.”
Mr. Barak said he often met with Epstein on trips to New York and was introduced to people such as Mr. Ramo and Mr. Chomsky to discuss geopolitics or other topics. “He often brought other interesting persons, from art or culture, law or science, finance, diplomacy or philanthropy,” Mr. Barak said.
When asked about his relationship with Epstein, Noam Chomsky said: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”
After Epstein donated $850,000 to MIT between 2002 and 2017, and $9.1 million to Harvard between 1998 and 2008, Chomsky said in a 2020 interview that people ‘worse than Epstein’ had donated to MIT. He didn’t disclose their friendship at the time.
Chomsky said that at the time of their meetings, “what was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served his sentence. According to U.S. laws and norms, that yields a clean slate.”

Just about every conspiracy theory I’ve heard of for the past 50 years has been true with the “possible” exception of aliens and flat earth.
Well … truth be told … the earth was flat until the aliens got here and changed things to suit their own needs …
It’s all in an X-Files episode … Season 12, Episode 2 …
Aliens are real, but demonic. They are not another “life” form.
The flat earth thing was a psyop to discredit increasing scientific evidence that the Earth actually is at, or close to the center, of the universe. Flat earth came out almost simultaneously with the premier of the movie “The Principle,” which explores the evidence for Geocentrism, and how the Plank, COBE, and WMAP probes indicate that according to the distribution of the cosmic background microwave radiation (thought to be a relic of the Big Bang) the Earth may very well be smack dab in the center of the universe, and the rest of the cosmos is oriented according to its location. Flat earth was a mostly successful attempt to conflate a ridiculous and discredited theory by kooks with actual evidence that Geocentrism is true.
Anon – Yep!!

And………..nothing will happen. But it is nice to know.
The CIA behind all things evil has become an American tradition. Burns was not mentioned in Whitney Webb’s book. But several others were. The book has a very good index of names.
Does Auntie hear, just barely, the faint sound of quiet laughter and tinkling glasses?
Definitely tinkling.
I’d love to see the videos of their ‘parties’… I bet everyone loved to come. To them. Those videos and flight logs are worth dying for. Yet, I find it hard to believe that Jeffrey did that to himself. I expect he had help. And voila, the cctv system was snafu. Makes a rational person think.

But, Orange man bad!
Waiting for three more whores to crawl out of the sewer and scream “RAPE!!!”.
We don’t get to see much, do we?
Just what the Luciferians allow.
I noticed from the list that these Jews just can’t stay away from the degeneracy they blackmail others for.
Or … more commonly … the degeneracy that they create everywhere they go … like Weimar in the ’20s …
Epstein was a spy who most likely specialized in honey pot operations of very highly placed people. He may have blackmailed some but most likely he was involved with procurement. We have a pretty good idea of what. Illicit or illegal sex seems to be the major weakness of so many in our institutions.
The #tumpster sure knows that!
Ew……just ew…….
Funny how the CIA and its FBI underlings are always at the center of these kind of activities. It’s almost like the CIA helps organize anti-American spy rings and illegal activities….
Apparently even mild acquaintances knew things looked weird with the young girls and all. I remember that Trump learned of this guy’s issues, he was immediately kicked out of the country club. Democrats however kept pressing forward determined to rub elbows with the creep.
Who else?
The whole fascist democRAT Communist party is as dirty, stinking, and filthy as sin; and Epstein did NOT kill himself.
You’re so cute that you still believe in political parties!
On the same day that an illegal alien kills five. The timing is impeccable.
Look … a squirrel …
It’s a shame Epstein committed suicide. Otherwise, this could involve some important people. Not Bill Clinton or Prince Andrew mind you. But, others.
Of COURSE our intelligence community knew all about Jeffrey Epstein. If He’s flying Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton to a private island, you can bet the ranch all the intel communities knew about Epstein. Our government is NOT controlled by anyone we vote for. Our congress is a sideshow to give cover to the people actually calling the shots.
Ya think.
And the security cameras in the prison just happened to be off the night Epstein died. And the prison guards happened to be asleep..It is unbelievable how our media has stopped doing their job. They are controlled by the same people who offed Epstein.
The media is controlled by the Intel Agencies, mainly the CIA. They have been for decades. Look up Operation Mockingbird. They are the Mockingbird Media.
so you’re tell us, the Dep. Sec. of State of state didn’t have access to or use the; ‘who’s that list’ before he met Jeffery. That is total BS. Those bastards all knew who he was and had access to intelligence reports. It is what they do every day
