It sounds like a Hollywood movie. Government intelligence agencies, perhaps CIA and Mossad, use sex with dozens of teenage girls to blackmail some of the world’s most powerful people, including Bill Gates, Prince Andrew, and Bill Clinton.
But it’s not a movie. It appears to be what New York investor Jeffrey Epstein did from the 1990s until 2018. One year later, he died in jail, either by suicide or murder.
There’s a lot of misinformation out there about this case. The truth is that we don’t have the hard proof that the CIA, FBI, or Mossad were involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking.
But we do know that the U.S. Attorney for South Florida at the time, who arranged Epstein’s lenient sentence, said, “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.”
And all of the top journalists who have looked into the Epstein case believe that intelligence agencies, including Mossad and CIA, were involved with Epstein and may have even controlled him.
The reason any of this matters is because it’s wrong for the people who are supposed to be protecting us to be involved in sex trafficking. That goes for both minors and adults.
As a retired 3 letter employee, I’d have to say that, because the “alleged” practice is as old as the craft itself, unilaterally abandoning it puts America at risk. Ask any defense contractor about what topics are covered during their yearly security refresher briefing.
KGB & GRU as well is MI6 are pissed they’re not included in the alphabet soup of the story.
Big government involved in sex trafficking minors. Ha ha ha. Yea, right. Next you’ll be telling me the government hosted kiddie pr0n on their own servers to entrap people. …
If you read any John LeCarre novel you’ll get the sense that spycraft is more this than assassinations, and that the West is far worse at it than the East. I don’t think Epstein had any connections to government—at least not US government, because, as nefarious as the CIA and FBI can be, they’re government employees who, at the end of the day, have to account for why they’re spying on American actors, scientists and billionaires. But the general question of “should governments do this?” seems so childishly naive when governments build nuclear weapons and carpet bomb cities. If sex-based spying protects citizens from the other horrors of war (I have no idea if it does—it really is a case by case thing), then let’s grow up and accept it and stop pretending war is this honorable thing. This is how we got into this registry nonsense in the first place.
Yes there’s surely more to the story. Cannot be taken at face value.
