Former Israeli spy: “Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad asset who blackmailed US politicians”

Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender and financier who rubbed shoulders with some of the world’s most powerful people, was a Mossad asset who was utilized by Israeli intelligence to blackmail U.S. politicians, a former Israeli spy has alleged.

Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli spy and alleged “handler” of Robert Maxwell, has told the authors of the new book “Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales” that Epstein ran a “complex intelligence operation” on behalf of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, British tabloid The Sun reports.

Robert Maxwell, thinking that Epstein had planned to marry his daughter Ghislaine, introduced the two to Ben-Menashe’s Mossad circle. “Maxwell sort of started liking him, and my theory is that Maxwell felt that this guy is going for his daughter,” Ben-Menashe said. “He felt that he could bless him with some work and help him out in like a paternal [way].”

Shortly after, the heads of Israeli intelligence gave the go-ahead and Epstein, along with Ghislaine, both became Mossad assets.

“They were agents of the Israeli Intelligence Services,” said Ben-Menashe.

After it was realized that Epstein wasn’t particularly skilled at carrying out other spy activities, his main role became “blackmailing American and other political figures.”

“Mr. Epstein was the simple idiot who was going around providing girls to all kinds of politicians in the United States,” Ben-Menashe told reporters at The Sun.

“See, fucking around is not a crime. It could be embarrassing, but it’s not a crime. But fucking a fourteen-year-old girl is a crime. And he was taking photos of politicians fucking fourteen-year-old girls — if you want to get it straight. They would just blackmail people, they would just blackmail people like that,” Ben-Menashe added.

Harvey Weinstein, another big name sex offender, also had ties to Mossad. The disgraced movie producer is believed to have hired ex-Mossad agents to go after females who had made sexual assault allegations against him. The ex-Mossad agents, working for the private Israeli intelligence firm Black Cube, are said to have pressured witnesses and intimidated journalist Ronan Farrow to “bury the truth” about Weinstein’s repugnant behaviors.

Melissa Cronin, the author of the book, “Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales”, thinks that Epstein’s alleged connection to Israeli intelligence supports the theory that he didn’t kill himself in that New York prison cell but instead was murdered.

“Before I started with the book, I was extremely skeptical of the murder theory,” she told reporters from the Sun.

“I’m definitely not a conspiracy theorist by nature at all, but the more that we dug into this, there’s just so much incontrovertible evidence about his work in the world of espionage, his work with Mossad and it all comes together to make a really compelling argument for the fact that he was murdered.”
