Carroll, an independent researcher, investigative journalist, entrepreneur, and the host of the Ian Carroll Show on YouTube, expressed his lack of faith in the much-anticipated Jeffrey Epstein list that the Trump administration has promised to disclose. Carrol claimed:

"Epstein for sure. And I think it's because of Israel. 'Cause I think when you really dig into Epstein, his entire network was Israel, it was clear… Epstein was working for an intelligence agency in the Middle East… And we all know who he worked for."

He continued:

"Jeffrey Epstein was the world's most prolific and evil s*x trafficker we know of so far, ever. And he very clearly was a Jewish organization… working on behalf of Israel and other groups. And that's a stark stain."

The online personality who is known for exposing large-scale corporations claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was an alleged associate of Ehud Barak, the ex-Prime Minister and ex-Head of Intelligence of Israel who was infamous for "targeting Americans, American officials."

Ian Carroll added that while the CIA now had "interest" in these connections, too, when Epstein had an active network, he reportedly had help from inside the agency.

According to New Outlook, Carroll is different from other investigative journalists as he brought his research and findings directly to his audience on social media, which might have been why he earned over 300,000 followers every month during his initial days on TikTok. He told the outlet:

"By one month into content creation, it was immediately apparent that I could make this my full-time job, and that there was a hunger for understanding, at this base layer, of what's wrong, not from an expert perspective, but rather from a 'let's all figure this out' perspective."

The journalist added:

"I pride myself on being as honest and transparent and truthful as I can possibly be."

Known to expose major firms, Ian has so far conducted research on financial lobbyist behemoths that control the world, Big Pharma, narrative control by the U.S. Deep State, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the censorship industrial complex, globalist think tank organizations, the Epstein List, Israel-Palestine conflict, and more.

More about Ian Carroll’s recent conversation with Joe Rogan

During his latest appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, Ian Carroll talked about several conspiracy theories about Israel, including its government reportedly being "vulnerable to the Deep state effect" more than the American government and its leadership seemingly being "corrupt." He also claimed that the 9/11 Dancing Israelis theory was "real."

When Joe Rogan claimed that Pizzagate was a "great way to put a halt to all the looking into" the Podesta emails, which he called "bananas," Carroll agreed. In this context, the latter talked about the alleged "Sixty five thousand dollars' worth of hot dogs flown from Chicago for a White House party," during the Obama administration, which Rogan called "very weird."

"Did you ever see the archived Instagram post from James Alefantis' Instagram? 'Cause that's a dark place. There's so many layers to Pizzagate that they tried to cover up intentionally for very good reason… There's so much more ripe clear evidence that's way more powerful," Ian Carroll mentioned.

He further went on:

"James Alefantis' Instagram account is a great example. So people like Liz Crokin and people like Alex Jones. Like they saw these things come out... You can find plenty of different archives of all of James Alefantis' Instagram posts... And there are things like photos of children with their arms taped to tables, and then the caption is, 'looks like a fun time.'"

The independent researcher also talked about other related IG accounts, which reportedly had "weirder" feeds comprising alleged posts on kill rooms, open coffins, a walk-in freezer, and more, which are "super dark" with a "bunch of babies, and a bunch of symbolism."

According to Ian Carroll, all these were hiding in plain sight until they got "scrubbed." He once again referenced the Podesta art collection, the Marina Abramovic cooking scandal, the Clintons, the Haiti scandals, cocaine in Arkansas, and more, saying:

"It's like the thing is that we sound crazy. I sound crazy to someone that doesn't do their own research because you just start there's so many layers of like, crazy sh*t that's happened with some of these people. That if you don't know the history of a person like Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, it's really easy to think oh that's just so insane."

Carroll explained that all the powerful and wealthy people were involved in a "classic frame job" where they seemingly cooked up a false claim in public and later "discredit" it, only also to discredit the actual thing, adding Nancy Pelosi spoke about it "very well."
