Julian Moments on Instagram: "📩 The Epstein email that left John Kiriakou speechless.
A reported email exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel began with a simple statement:
“Brexit is just the beginning.”
Peter Thiel replied:
“The beginning of what?”
Epstein’s response shifted the conversation far beyond politics:
“A return to tribalism. A push against globalization. New alliances.”
What caught everyone’s attention wasn’t that the email was criminal.
It was how strangely philosophical—and even predictive—it sounded.
For John Kiriakou, who has spent decades around intelligence, geopolitics, and world affairs, this raised a deeper question:
Why was Epstein discussing ideas like these with some of the world’s most powerful and influential people?
That was the unsettling part.
Not what the email supposedly proved...
But what it suggested about the circles Epstein moved in."
Verdict: The core email claim is broadly supported, but the clip mixes verified quotes with commentary and interpretation.
The video refers to a reported Epstein-Thiel email exchange that has been covered in news reports. The reactionary framing and broader conclusions are opinion, not established fact.
Claim-by-claim breakdown
Accurate (90% confidence): Jeffrey Epstein emailed Peter Thiel about Brexit, saying it was "just the beginning" and describing it as a "return to tribalism" and "counter to globalization" with "amazing new alliances." News coverage of the released Epstein emails reports the quote sequence "Brexit is just the beginning" and "return to tribalism... counter to globalization... amazing new alliances."
Accurate (84% confidence): Peter Thiel replied to Epstein with the question, "The beginning of what?" Reports on the email exchange quote Thiel's response as "The beginning of what?"
Unsupported (46% confidence): The clip shows John Kiriakou being shocked or "speechless" by the email. The transcript contains emotional reaction language, but there is no independent factual standard to verify whether he was actually speechless or shocked.
Misleading (76% confidence): The email exchange proves that "these are the people that are still running the country" or "running the economy." A private email expressing views about Brexit and globalization is not evidence of control over government or the economy.
