Possibly why Jeffrey Epstein is no longer with us
2022-08-30
[Minepressnews - 13 Dec 2019 story] MONTREAL — In recent weeks, renewed attention has been brought to the allegations that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking and sexual blackmail operation was run on behalf of Israeli military intelligence. Those claims revolve around statements made by a former Israeli military intelligence official turned public relations consultant Ari Ben-Menashe, whose allegations regarding the Epstein scandal were reported by MintPress this past October.

Ben-Menashe’s claims related to Epstein first surfaced in an interview between Ben-Menashe and Zev Shalev of the independent news outlet, Narativ. As detailed in a MintPress summary and commentary of that interview, Ben-Menashe claimed to have seen Jeffrey Epstein in the office of Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, several times in the 1980s.

At the time, Ben-Menashe was in close contact with Robert Maxwell regarding their work mutual work with Israeli military intelligence. Maxwell, in addition to heading a media empire and being a one-time member of U.K. parliament, was a longtime operative for Israeli intelligence, so much so that his 1991 funeral was attended by no less than six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence as well as several high-ranking Israeli politicians and prime ministers.

Maxwell is alleged to have recruited Jeffrey Epstein for Israeli intelligence and later introduced Epstein to Ben-Menashe and another operative, Nicholas Davies. Epstein was introduced to Ben-Menashe as having been pre-approved by leading figures in Israel’s military intelligence directorate, known as Aman.

MintPress recently conducted its own interview with Mr. Ben-Menashe as part of an ongoing investigation on the life and connections of the now-infamous Jeffrey Epstein.

#4  The gentleman has appeared in our archives before — since y’all brought it up, I checked and added the result to the bottom of the article. He does not have a good reputation around here.

#3  Described as a conspiratorial website,[10][11] MintPress News publishes disinformation and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories, according to researchers at Rutgers University and others.[12][13] - Wikipedia [I know, that ain't no book of Mark either, but even so]

#2  Ari Ben Menashe is author of a few true but many false tales. He is also a representative of nutzoid generals in the Sudan and Myanmarr.

Probably impossible to sift any nuggets of truth from the epic mishmash of fantasy that he emits.

#1  2019 Article, is there any reason this is resurfacing perhaps as the Iran Deal is percolating over Israels' strident (and well justified) objections?
