An independent activist journalist has been digging into the case and has come up with some interesting and alarming connections and history. Worth a read: https://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2019/07/08/the-jeffrey-epstein...

> It seems like the whole Epstein thing was an elaborate professional blackmail operation intended to ensnare the rich and powerful. But who was really behind it, who was really bankrolling Epstein?

Is there any doubt at this point? It was Mossad. It couldn't have been an American agency, the fallout would be too great.

Edit: This has been suspected as early as 1992. This is not pizzagate/qanon bullshit. https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/ch7bnm/the_myst...

Where is this coming from?

Also, why would blackmailing need someone to bankroll it? Blackmail makes money. It bankrolls itself.

Money breeds status, status gives connections. I should clarify, Mossad didn't give most of Epstein's money. It probably came from Wexner who was the first blackmailing "victim." Easy to find public info on their baffling financial relationship. After that yes, it bankrolled itself. He still needed Mossad (through Ghislaine Maxwell, see her father Robert's Wikipedia article) to cover everything up. Extraordinary crimes require extraordinary protection. The Mossad enabling all of this is the only thing that makes sense.

If one needs to shove Mossad into the storyline, yes. But it's unnecessary. Epstein getting wealthy by blackmailing Maxwell and using that wealth (and power over his blackmailing victims) to get wealthier, bully witnesses and lobby powerful people is plausible by itself.

If the targets were primarily business leaders and fewer in number, I'd agree with you. The vastness and involvement of political figures makes a state's support more likely.

If he just wanted to get his own rocks off, why bring in these guys? Prince Andrew, Clinton? It'd be safer to ensnare middling business leaders no one has ever heard of if he just wanted money. But such people are no use to state intelligence.

We have no evidence any of Prince Andrew or Clinton did anything nefarious in the midst of Epstein. Epstein was just doing what rich Americans do--cohorting with his fellow powerful.
