    The fact that he wasn’t very good at it doesn’t mean that Epstein wasn’t Mossad and passing blackmail material to them.

    Reading up on CIA antics shows that most intelligence operators are completely out of control, with no fucking clue what they’re actually doing, but with the self confidence of a sociopath who doesn’t understand the consequences of their actions.

    The spy and analytics side is often better, but every time agencies try to shape events, they create blowback. Especially since they think that working with people like Epstein is a good idea.

        Read up on what was revealed in the Church commission.

        Or what Ollie North was doing during Iran Contra.

        Or any of a dozen other cases where actual Intelligence operations have come to light.

        If you have agents in the field, they will be fucking around. And the people in charge never seem to care, no matter how many terrorist organizations they create.

        These agencies, from the beginning, have seen protecting the rich and powerful (of their country) as their main mission.

        But back to Epstein. Israel spies on the US, constantly. Maxwell’s father was a Mossad agent and was buried with honors in Israel.

        He’s likely the one who recruited Epstein.
