MINTPRESS EXCLUSIVE: While the MSM ignores the #Epstein story watchdog journalist @_WhitneyWebb continues her investigation. Read her latest on a former Israeli intel official who says Epstein's enterprise was in fact an Israeli intelligence operation. mintpressnews.com/ari-ben-menash…

@_whitneywebb According to a former senior executive for Israel's Directorate of Military Intelligence, Ari Ben-Menashe, in an interview with Nartiv's Zev Shalev, #Epstein was working for Israeli intelligence as early as the 1980s. narativ.org/2019/09/26/bla…

@_whitneywebb Ben-Menashe was first introduced to #Epstein by Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell's father, sometime in the mid-1980s while both Maxwell and Ben-Menashe were involved with the Iran-Contra scandal.

@_whitneywebb Webb previously reported on #Epstein’s other ties to Iran-Contra, the same “dark alliance between US/Israeli intelligence and organized crime," which included — mintpressnews.com/genesis-jeffre…

@_whitneywebb Bill Clinton while governor of Arkansas, Mena airport, Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, BCCI, The Limited founder Leslie Wexner and CIA front company Southern Air Transport.

@_whitneywebb At the time of Ben-Menashe's introduction to #Epstein, he was told by Maxwell that his Israeli bosses had already "approved" of Epstein and that he had an "extensive network" in Israel which included then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

@_whitneywebb As for Ghislaine Maxwell, she allegedly met #Epstein prior to her father's death and that it was their relationship that led Robert Maxwell to bring Epstein into his business dealings with Israel. It was after that Epstein and Ghislaine started their sexual blackmail operation.

@_whitneywebb The purpose of #Epstein and Maxwell's operation was to extort US political and public figures on behalf of Israeli military intelligence. As Ben-Menashe put it, “They found a niche for themselves" -- using children as their bait.

@_whitneywebb Additionally, the proceeds of PROMIS, software stolen by the US government, used for tracking and blackmail and marketed by Robert Maxwell, was made available to #Epstein to fund his blackmail operation.

More background: mintpressnews.com/cia-israel-mos…

@_whitneywebb #Epstein's enterprise was an international operation supported, funded and protected by powerful individuals including Israeli intelligence that employed systematic abuse of children in order to blackmail other powerful players.

So whose running it now?

@_whitneywebb It should be noted that as of today not a single associate of #Epstein's including Ghislaine Maxwell has been brought up on charges for the enterprise's gross abuse of children and that the corporate media continues to black out this story.

@_whitneywebb As for the reliability of Ben-Menashe's story, the Israeli government has gone to great lengths to silence him after revealing secrets about the Iran-Contra scandal, Israel's nuclear program, PROMIS, and Maxwell's ties to Mossad.

@_whitneywebb Israel spent years destroying his credibility, they tried to kidnap him to prevent him from testifying to congressional investigators, and it's likely they were the culprits behind his house blowing up to keep him from speaking further with @Consortiumnews founder, Robert Parry.

@_whitneywebb @Consortiumnews But the number one problem that the Israeli government faces is that not only did renowned investigative journalist Robert Parry who passed away last year believe that Ben-Menashe's information was accurate, much of it was later corroborated.
