Epstein Greased Obama’s Prize?

Did Jeffrey Epstein pull the strings that helped Barack Obama win the Nobel Peace Prize in2009? There are rumblings to that effect ever since Norwegian police opened a criminal probe into Thorbjørn Jagland, the former chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee from 2009 to 2014.

Initially there were reports Jagland had attempted suicide following the launch of that probe, but his lawyers have said he has been hospitalized, owing to exhaustion, and not a failed suicide.

Here, Stephen Gardner touches on Epstein’s connections with Jagland. He cites growing speculation that it was Epstein who greased the skids to get Obama the Prize, announced on Oct. 9, 2009 — before Obama had even served a year in office. Gardner says critics are now “questioning whether political influence and connections to figures like Jeffrey Epstein may have played a role in the nomination process years ago. The claims remain highly debated but have reignited discussion about how the prize was awarded so early in Obama’s presidency.”

That’s one of many topics touched on in this broadcast, including the War in Iran, whether former CIA and FBI officials will be indicted for mounting phony prosecutions into President Trump, and Gavin Newsom’s inability to gain any traction as a Democratic presidential candidate.
