Jeffrey Epstein used his political network and financial resources to help broker a security cooperation agreement between the governments of Israel and Mongolia, according to a trove of leaked emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. This new set of emails between Barak and Epstein has largely been ignored by the mainstream press, but includes crucial new context on Epstein’s operation.

It’s well known that Epstein had personal ties to Israel, including to senior political officials like Barak and Ehud Olmert, and that he donated to organizations like Friends of the IDF. But Epstein’s activities in Mongolia show, for the first time, that he facilitated a deal that led to a security agreement between Israel and other nations.

So if he worked for Israel in this capacity was any of his other "work" also done in service of Israel?

Pretty sure it just broadly included uber rich people. A shame no one high profile has just spilled the beans on the whole operation by now given how many people we know were involved.

All of it. We do know its pedo-mecca.

I'll say it again: failure to release of those files may be because of national security interests.

Another 911 or something is what I didn't say.

I have no proof beyond a gut feeling but I'm really starting to believe that Epstein was a government agent. I'm not going to speculate what alphabet soup paid him, but having a Kompromat island is a fantastic way of building a blackmail list.
