Trump's nauseating published quote that Epstein, like himself, likes very young women and his various activities with Epstein over the years raise extremely troubling questions. What's the outcome when wealthy sociopathic men entertain a slew of young females? Here's a headline and story link: "28 Women Reportedly Sent to Mar-a-Lago in 1992 for VIP Party of Two—Trump and Jeffrey Epstein" (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/07/women-sent-mar-a-lago-vip-calendar-girl-party-trump-epstein.html). The gathering was supposedly for a calendar-girl competition.Bscharlotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667913621618808338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-54808343184768621482019-07-15T09:50:22.886-04:002019-07-15T09:50:22.886-04:00Thank you, Brad, for the comprehensive roundup.

The Robert Maxwell link is especially persuasive in the context of Epstein’s maybe intelligence ties. <br /><br />Where I am on all of this in the context of writing about Epstein in the coming weeks and days? If I thought for a moment that those maybe ties in any way mitigated the abhorrent behavior of a serial pedophile — and you certainly are not suggesting that we should look at him in a more nuanced light because of those maybe ties -- then I would dive right in. But I will not give this beyond-sick fuck any slack.Shaun Mullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964214385216513188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-59418732899211718962019-07-15T00:07:33.143-04:002019-07-15T00:07:33.143-04:00Here's an interesting book: https://www.amazon...Here's an interesting book: https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Maxwell-Israels-Superspy-Gordon/dp/0786712953. This book -- Robert Maxwell, Israel's Super Spy (2003) -- reveals the exploits of Maxwell, Ghislaine's father, on behalf of Mossad before his death. You may recall Maxwell as the British press baron who seemingly died in a boating accident or, as the book argues, who might have been murdered. Given her father's involvement in Israeli intelligence, it may be the case that Ghislaine recruited Epstein as a Mossad agent.<br /><br />Also useful is "Wexner's War" (2003) -- https://freepress.org/article/wexner-war -- which illuminates Les Wexner's extreme efforts to promote Israel's interests.<br /><br />Finally, "Did Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein Work for Mossad?" -- http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/did-pedophile-jeffrey-epstein-work-for-mossad/ -- strikes me as a balanced look at the question.Bscharlotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667913621618808338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-3173418528040069892019-07-13T23:39:02.290-04:002019-07-13T23:39:02.290-04:00It might be too risky for Mossad per se to run suc...It might be too risky for Mossad per se to run such an operation, since that could leave tracks leading to the Israeli government, but there are ways to get non-government intelligence specialists to do it -- an off the books Mossad inspired operation. Keep in mind that the Israelis are fearless and audacious. Wexner co-owned the luxe Manhattan townhouse with Epstein before turning it over to him. Why? Perhaps to provide a location for the stings. And why in the world would an heiress like Ghislaine Maxwell do something as risky as procure underage girls for sex? I could understand her motivation if she felt it helped Israel. But to risk a lengthy prison sentence for ... what ... some sexual kicks? That does not make sense to me.Bscharlotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667913621618808338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-73405984839170185022019-07-13T20:35:39.519-04:002019-07-13T20:35:39.519-04:00Brad:

That certainly came home in the Weinstein revelations and we have that in spades with Epstein, so I for one have to keep adjusting the boundaries of what is possible when you have a lot of dough and friends in important places.

And the very fact that he ended up in Trump's cabinet suggests that he likely is ethically challenged, if not outright corrupt to the point he would take bribes. <br /><br />But all that does not negate the possibility that he was told there were intelligence-agency operations at play a decade or so ago. A puzzling bit in the rise of Epstein is his association with billionaire Les Wexner, who essentially lifted Epstein from obscurity and put him on the road to riches -- actions that puzzled Wexner's close associates. Wexner, it turns out, has been an extremely generous benefactor of Jewish causes, and Wexner and Epstein are both Jewish. It makes sense to assume both are strong supporters of Israel.<br /><br />Putting all that together raises the interesting possibility that Epstein set up a honey trap operation for Mossad meant to ensnare U.S. politicians and others who wield influence. Wexner and Epstein early on in their association jointly bought the ultra-expensive Manhattan property that agents recently raided and at which they found a trove of incriminating photographs. Then there is the island that Epstein purchased, known to locals as "Pedophile Island," and the fact that Epstein owns TWO jets, which would facilitate flying in both VIPs and underage girls at the same time.<br /><br />I think this hypothesis has a good chance of being correct.<br />Bscharlotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667913621618808338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-67036292396195914382019-07-12T22:19:14.176-04:002019-07-12T22:19:14.176-04:00All this staggers the imagination - thank you for ...All this staggers the imagination - thank you for connecting some of the socio-political dots in this!PJPoppyJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16995675800736721842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-1555426172659657522019-07-11T11:36:56.806-04:002019-07-11T11:36:56.806-04:00Thanks for the background info, Shaun.Thanks for the background info, Shaun.Dan Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01603402268945559679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-78729178536963916682019-07-11T08:40:18.864-04:002019-07-11T08:40:18.864-04:00All are entirely plausible, although the "he&...All are entirely plausible, although the "he's an intelligence asset that must be kept secret" ruse has been oft used, including with two Russia scandal perps of note -- Felix Sater and Oleg Deripaska.Shaun Mullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964214385216513188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-40155489458996572932019-07-11T08:36:33.249-04:002019-07-11T08:36:33.249-04:00There was a suggestion at TPM that Acosta was told...There was a suggestion at TPM that Acosta was told to back off prosecuting Epstein because he was an asset of an intelligence agency. Questions have been raised about how exactly Epstein made the bulk of his fortune. Could he, like (presumably) Trump, have been a conduit for dirty money from Russia or other former Soviet republics? And could he have been compelled by CIA or other agency to rat out his sources of tainted money, in return for protection? That all sounds plausible.Bscharlotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667913621618808338noreply@blogger.com
