Picking up where the previous episode (“Diddler on the Roof”) left off, Lauren, Amy, & Holly widen the lens to expose the bigger picture: the entanglements of wealthy elites, Epstein and Maxwell, King Louis XIII and the French monarchy at Versailles, Freud and his Viennese bourgeoisie circles. Tracing how the systems of wealth, manipulation, the recurring threads of power, exploitation & influence continue to repeat across eras.. and how it all keeps converging and leading back to the same place: Israel.
