The Webb Whitney Weaves
In his 2020 book Relentless Pursuit: My Fight for the Victims of Jeffrey Epstein, lawyer Bradley Edwards writes that Stanley Pottinger, a loyal David Boies confidante who had joined the tireless team working on Epstein-related litigation, always struck Edwards as some sort of “secret agent.” During a long car ride together one day, Edwards finally asked Pottinger if he was CIA. Pottinger replied, “If I’m a James Bond, I sure am a poor man’s version of him.” Edwards and Pottinger shared a hearty laugh — but Edwards says he’s still never been quite sure if Pottinger was really CIA. Nonetheless, Edwards had been impressed by Pottinger’s quick-study abilities when they both ventured out to conduct a dual interview with Epstein “victim” Maria Farmer at her house in rural Kentucky.
Also in 2020, Whitney Webb posted a lengthy phone interview she conducted with Maria Farmer on a previous iteration of Webb’s website, called “The Last American Vagabond.” Farmer excitedly reported to Webb that she was a huge fan of her work, and that she had even passed along her voluminous “research” to Bradley Edwards, David Boies, and Stanley Pottinger. “They’re going to use your research in court!” Farmer exuded. “Oh, that’s amazing,” Webb replies.
If I wanted to weave a Whitney-style “web,” I could easily use this series of curious “connections” to insinuate that Whitney Webb is “CIA” — or has vaguely colluded with “intelligence.” But that would be an outlandish inferential conclusion to draw, based on insufficient predicative facts. Still, it wouldn’t be too difficult to conjure up the story, blast it out to the online universe, and then wait for hordes of excitable commenters to shower me with unfounded praise for my extraordinary “research” skills.
I don’t know if Webb’s “research” was ever in fact used “in court,” but I wouldn’t even have to check, because my superficially tantalizing “connection” has already been established. I can just let my readers draw the most dramatic possible inferences, despite my conspicuous omission of any solid factual basis for doing so.
By the way — Maria Farmer is legitimately crazy. She told Webb she was “kidnapped” and held captive on Leslie Wexner’s palatial Ohio estate, and she couldn’t leave because there were “actual freaking sharpshooters everywhere,” as well as Doberman pinschers and “mafia.” But somehow, she also says she had her “little brothers” come to stay with her in this hostage-style living situation.
Eventually, Farmer says, there came a time when she was invited to climb into bed with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. They were watching a PBS show about math on TV. She voluntarily got in bed, and began to perform a foot rub on Jeffrey. Soon enough, one or both of her bedtime companions began to touch her breasts. It was then that Farmer realized she was being assaulted. In that world-altering moment, she had an instant revelation: “Somehow I knew they were pedophiles,” Farmer told Webb. (She was 26 years old at the time.)
“There are different kinds of rape,” Farmer explained to the New York Times on August 26, 2019. “I was raped of my success, and then my sanity… That’s why I went to therapy for six years.” I can certainly believe that Farmer was deprived of her sanity, but I’m not sure I would necessarily accept her identification of the diagnostic cause. Farmer also explained to Webb that she believes she was given cancer by her dark dalliance with Maxwell and Epstein.
Sometime after the “assault,” Farmer claims she attempted to call the NYPD and FBI to report a pedophile incident in Ohio. “It involves Bill Clinton, for sure. It involves Donald Trump,” Farmer told the FBI, according to the harrowing account she shared with Webb. “But the most important one… he’s the head of the snake… is Les Wexner. And they said, ‘What do you think he is?’ And I said, “He’s Jewish mafia.’ And they said, ‘What do you mean?’ And I said, ‘What do you mean, what do I mean?’”
Webb says her extremely illuminating interview with Farmer took place on April 16, 2020. Her rationale for posting the full audio online, Webb wrote — apparently referring to herself in the third person — was “to show that claims Whitney has made in recent interviews were indeed accurately based on statements Maria made during the call and to provide greater context to those statements.” In other words, Webb was going around making claims based on her conversation with Maria Farmer, whom she presumably took to be a source of utmost credibility.
Two years went by, and then suddenly on May 2, 2022, Webb removed the interview from her successor website, claiming this was done “at Maria Farmer’s request.”
In our email exchange last week, I asked Webb if she could “elaborate on why you removed your interview with Maria Farmer from your website? What was the basis for Farmer’s request that you remove the interview?” Webb didn’t respond, and still hasn’t — claiming she is too busy.
A few days after the mysterious 2022 removal, Webb took to Twitter with a shocking announcement. Maria Farmer was accusing her of being responsible for the death of a random chef named Andy Stewart in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Apparently, being blamed by Maria Farmer for the death of this random Michigan chef did not give Whitney Webb any noticeable pause about using Farmer as a credible journalistic source. Webb would go on to cite Farmer in her blockbuster opus, One Nation Under Blackmail, published later in 2022 — even citing the very same interview that had allegedly resulted in a chef murder.
Maria has recently been all over CNN recounting how she “felt threatened” by Donald Trump, because one time in 1995 he looked at her while she was wearing running shorts. She was 25 years old during this traumatic episode. Farmer also repeated her belief that she had been cursed with “two cancers” because of the wicked experiences she underwent decades ago with Trump, Maxwell, Epstein, or whomever.
Maria Farmer was born November 28, 1969, making her currently 55 years old. She produces artwork focused on “exposing the elites.” Her March 2021 collection was published by David Icke, an apparent colleague of Whitney Webb. Farmer asked Webb during their phone call if she would put her in touch with Icke, and Webb readily agreed. Icke is perhaps best known for his theory that a secret race of reptilian humanoids dominate earthly affairs.
Astonishingly, on May 29, 2025, Maria Farmer filed a brand new lawsuit against the US federal government, claiming she “suffers from complex PTSD, severe depression, constant anxiety, nightmares, debilitating fatigue, chronic illness, and various other physician [sic] and mental conditions” because the FBI did not take her seriously all those years ago. (Shouldn’t any FBI agent who did take her seriously have been fired?) One of Farmer’s co-plaintiffs is soon to be Juliette Bryant, who told the Alex Jones show she witnessed Epstein transform into a reptilian creature — after which she was abducted by a UFO. I know that Juliette Bryant is joining the lawsuit because she told me personally, during an unsolicited (though harmless and mildly amusing) astrology reading over DMs. A third plaintiff is thought to be Sarah Ransome, whose primary occupation when she first became acquainted with Epstein was meeting “gentlemen” for “dinner” and earning $1,500 for each lovely night out. Together the trio reportedly plans to demand $600 million from US taxpayers in a class-action suit.
In 2020, Maria Farmer had complained to Whitney Webb that her upcoming payout from the Epstein Victims Compensation Program was on track to be offensively inadequate. “They’re saying, with this settlement, we’d be lucky, you know, if we get a couple hundred thousand dollars. Isn’t that sickening?” Farmer fumed. It’s unclear how much Maria ultimately received from the “non-adversarial” and “confidential” settlement fund, but her younger sister Annie Farmer had to disclose in Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 criminal trial that she (Annie) collected a cool $1.5 million, as restitution for conduct such as “hand-holding” — which Annie acknowledged describing to the settlement fund’s mediator as “sexual abuse.” This after she had denied to the FBI in 2006 and 2020 that her encounters with Maxwell and Epstein were “sexualized.” And notwithstanding that the judge in the Maxwell trial, Alison Nathan, eventually had to instruct the jury that they were not to regard anything that occurred to Annie as “illegal sexual activity” for the purposes of convicting Maxwell.
Annie had been one of the government’s four star witnesses — out of what we are told is “over a thousand” victims — and the otherwise preposterously pro-prosecution Judge Nathan (who had allowed other “victims” to testify under fake names, even though they’d already gone public with their “stories” under their real names) nonetheless saw fit to instruct jurors that whatever happened to Annie did not constitute a crime. Even though Annie was purportedly 16 at the time the government had alleged she was criminally “massaged” and “cuddled” at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch.
During the trial, Whitney Webb chimed in, venting her disgust with the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution:

UPDATE 8/11/2025: The proprietor of the website “The Last American Vagabond” asked me to clarify that he is the proprietor of this website, rather than Whitney Webb. I described it as a “previous iteration of Webb’s website” because she subsequently republished and repurposed the material on a successor website, “Unlimited Hangout.” But I’m happy to clarify that Ryan Cristián is the proprietor of “The Last American Vagabond” website.
