For years before Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands widely understood what was happening on Little St. James. People who lived and worked in the area have repeatedly stated that Epstein’s behavior was an open secret — from the constant flow of young girls being flown in by private jet, to the strict secrecy enforced by staff, to the unusual security presence around a private island that should have raised alarms for any serious oversight authority. Local pilots, service workers, marina employees, and residents have all described the same pattern: everyone knew something was wrong, and no one in a position of power stepped in. The idea that Epstein operated in total isolation, hidden from public awareness, is flatly contradicted by testimony from those who lived closest to his operations.

That widespread awareness makes the official narrative — that elected officials and government representatives in the USVI had “no idea” what Epstein was doing — extremely difficult to accept. It strains credibility to believe that everyday residents saw the signs, yet politicians, law-enforcement leadership, and regulatory authorities somehow remained oblivious. Critics argue that the only realistic explanation is willful negligence or deliberate protection, not ignorance. When the public sees how much was known and how little was done, the claims of surprise from leadership look less like incompetence and more like self-preservation. And in the shadow of an international trafficking network that operated openly for years, the silence of officials becomes part of the story — not an excuse for it.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Jeffrey Epstein's behavior in the United States Virgin
Islands wasn't some secret coded message written in disappearing ink.
It wasn't some cryptic puzzle hid inside a Dan Brown novel.
It was loud, it was obvious, and it was right
in front of everyone. Everybody and their grandmother knew what

(00:21):
this dude was doing down there, and yet somehow the
political class expects us to believe that they were blissfully unaware,
like they were just floating around drinking rum punch on
the beach with zero responsibilities and had no idea that
there was an international sex trafficking operation running right under
their sunscreen smeared noses. The sheer audacity it takes to

(00:42):
expect the public to swallow something that ridiculous is honestly insulting.
It requires you to suspend basic reality and pretend that
people in charge are helpless toddlers who couldn't see a
hurricane even if it flipped the roof off their house.
And listen, the nerve it takes to put push that
narrative is unreal. They seriously want us to imagine a

(01:04):
scenario where the airport janitor knew what was going on,
but the governor and the delegate to Congress were shocked,
shocked to hear that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a friendly
neighborhood philanthropist donating school computers and coconuts, like they want
us to honestly believe that the lowest paid workers on
the island somehow had a better grasp of what was

(01:24):
happening in their own territory than the politicians who were
actually running it. Are they out of their minds? They
expect us to swallow that like it's some gourmet filet mignon,
when it really smells like a microwave tuna melt that
felt behind the fridge in July. And they deliver this
nonsense with a straight face, as if the rest of
us have suffered traumatic brain injuries and lost the ability

(01:47):
to recognize obvious corruption. The residents down there called it
the worst kept secret in history of worst kept secrets.
People talked about it the same way you talk about
a bad storm rolling in. You know what's coming. Everybody
knows it's coming, and anyone pretending they don't know is
just lying through their teeth. Epstein's planes were flying in

(02:07):
and out of the airport like was a drive through
window at McDonald's. His compound wasn't tucked away in a
cave behind a waterfall. Who was sitting right there on
its own private island like a giant neon billboard screaming
criminal enterprise happening here. People saw the movement, people heard
the rumors. People watched the entourage of young women arriving
and leaving like they were on a conveyor belt. This

(02:30):
wasn't something subtle or hidden or ambiguous. It was obvious
to the point of absurdity. But hey, according to the politicians,
they had no clue, none whatsoever, not a whisper, not
a hint, Just a humble billionaire next door with a
private jet and a rotating cast of suspiciously young female
guests who definitely weren't coming down for beach yoga retreats.

(02:52):
Now we're supposed to nod our heads like good little
sheep and say, oh, of course, yes, totally understandable, definitely
sounds reasonable. The idea that grown adults in positions of
power want to pretend that they were wandering around with
blindfolds on tripping over clues, but somehow never connecting any
dots is beyond parody. It would be funny if it

(03:14):
wasn't fucking horrifying. You'd have to detach your brain from
your spinal cord and leave it soaking in any freeze.
To believe the official explanation. You'd have to be so
gullible that a carnival con artist would refuse to take
your money out of pity. And look, this isn't a
matter of opinion. This is common sense and basic pattern recognition.

(03:35):
When something is that blatant, the only people who don't
know are the people who don't want to know because
they benefit from not knowing. Since day one, I've said
the USVII wasn't just asleep at the wheel. There were
driving the bus, handing out tickets, and shoveling coal into
the engine. You don't build that level of influence without help.
You don't attempt to rewrite local sex offender laws without

(03:57):
politicians opening the doors on the governor's office like it's
a folding chair in your living room unless someone in
power is cash and checks and smiling wide. Epstein wasn't
just another wealthy resident. He was treated like royalty, like
a benefactor like the secret engine that made the whole
machine run, and powerful people don't give away that level

(04:17):
of access for a high five and a handshake. And
in my opinion, it wasn't just enabling. A case could
absolutely be made that what went on in the Virgin
Islands was participation, not passive, active feet in the concrete,
hands in the dirt. Because when you funnel tax breaks, grants,
sweetheart land deals and political protection to a predator like

(04:39):
Jeffrey Epstein, that's not being hoodwinked. That's collaboration. That's willingly
joining the team and wearing the jersey. That's the kind
of involvement where people start deleting emails and burning paperwork
once the heat comes down. And the fact that nobody
in power has been dragged into a courtroom yet is
an indictment of the entire system under any sane rule

(05:01):
of law. That's rico territory. That's full swat raid, battering
ram through the front door, every computer seized, cuff everybody
with a pulse type of operation. That's the kind of
thing where CNN would have helicopters circling and analysts foaming
at the mouth. But did that happen. Nope, not even close.
Instead of a reckoning, we got a clown show. We

(05:22):
got federal prosecutors handing out deals so sweet they should
have come with a complimentary chocolate fountain. We got non
disclosure agreements slapped over survivors mouths like douc Tape. We
got settlements that made the criminals richer and the truth poor.
You couldn't script corruption this blatant for a movie, because
Hollywood executives would say, bro, this is too unrealistic. And

(05:44):
while the world was still reeling, the same politicians who
were chumming around with Epstein were still sitting in their
cushy offices, still sipping cocktails, still collecting checks, still pretending
that they were shocked, just shocked about everything that was
learned the gravy and didn't just keep rolling it upgraded
the first class. These stunods didn't even have the decency

(06:05):
to be embarrassed. They didn't resign, they didn't apologize, They
probably didn't even lose sleep. They just carry it on
business as usual because in their world, consequences are something
that only apply to people like me and you. And
then of course you have Stacy plasket Front and Center
trying to act like Epstein was just another average Joe
constituent whose only crime was owning too many yachts and

(06:28):
making too many large campaign donations. Watching her perform that
ridiculous dance of denial was like watching somebody lie about
eating cookies when their face is covered in chocolate. It's embarrassing,
it's insulting, and the only way it's believable is if
you willingly detach your brain from physical reality. Pretending to

(06:48):
be outraged after years of silence is not courage, it's
damage control. What they want us to believe is that
the miles of evidence, witness testimony, lawsuits, depositions, free flowing money,
legislative influence, and private jet traffic just magically existed without
anybody in power noticing, Like all that corruption was just

(07:10):
a ghost, a phantom hallucination that only normal people could see,
but the highly paid public servants mysteriously could not. Like
the laws of physics, cease to exist when campaign donations
start flowing, it's insulting to anyone with functioning eyes. So sorry,
but the gas lighting days are done. That's over. That

(07:30):
card has been played one too many times, and now
it's ripped in half and thrown in the trash. You
can only run the nobody knew anything routine so many
times before the audience walks out of the theater. We've
reached the point where pretending not to know feels more
criminal than actually knowing, because if we lived in a
serious country with serious leadership, there would already be a

(07:52):
full scale federal investigation into the usvii's government during Epstein's reign,
every phone call, every bank transfer, every email, every document,
a RICO probe with access to everything, no redactions, no
executive privilege excuses, no mysteriously missing files, no convenient oops
we lost it in the system. Nonsense. That is what

(08:13):
justice looks like. That's what countries with functioning legal systems do.
But instead of that, we get theater. We get speeches,
We get crocodile tears and finger pointing. We get hearings
where everybody acts stunned and confused, like the dog ate
their homework, and then the dog joined the CIA, and
the whole thing is just too complicated to explain. The
shit is pathetic, it's performative, and it's an insult to

(08:37):
the intelligence of every single human being who has watched
this unfold. And in my opinion, what the United States
Virgin Islands did was sell out children to curry favor
with a billionaire predator. They traded human lives for influence, donations, prestige,
and political convenience. And now, when the heat is finally on,
they're pretending they were just helpless bystanders, caught up in

(08:59):
the storm like everybody else. No, absolutely not. They can
take that fairy tale and shove it straight into the
nearest wood chipper. The era of immunity is ending, the
curtains falling, the act is over, the audience is booing
so loud that the roof is now shaking. You don't
get depleted ignorance while you were eating out of Epstein's hand.

(09:21):
You don't get to claim innocence when you were signing
paperwork and approving deals. You don't get to sit there
with a straight face after years of silence and tell
us you had no choice. And here's the thing. Not
only the survivors, but the rest of us demand justice,
real justice, not this cheap imitation theater where everybody shrugs

(09:42):
and walks away clean. Real accountability means naming names, exposing
networks and prosecuting every last person who enabled, protected, or
benefited from Jeffrey Epstein's reign of terror. Anything less is
theater designed to protect the powerful. Accountability doesn't stop at
the prison game. It reaches into Congress, into boardrooms, into banks,

(10:03):
into governments, into agencies, and yes, into the USVII. It
chases the truth all the way down the hallway and
out the back exit, and it doesn't stop just because
somebody has a title or a wealthy donor. The days
of gaslighting are over. The public's wide awake. Nobody's buying
the bullshit anymore. No more acute little speeches about how

(10:24):
nobody saw anything, no more pretending the monster hidden the
shadows when he was standing in broad daylight. Those days
are dead and buried. Now it's time for consequences, real ones,
and in my opinion, it's about damn time. All of
the information that goes with this episode can be found

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
