A posting on Drop Site News from Dec. 19 filled in more background on the operation which deployed and protected Jeffrey Epstein, beginning in the 1980s after he was forced out from Bear Stearns for still-undisclosed regulatory violations. The article identifies the combined role of British intelligence, CIA and Mossad in running the arms-drugs-hostages connections behind the Iran-Contra Affair. The article, “How the Iran-Contra Planes Landed at Les Wexner’s Base,” by Ryan Grim, Murtaza Hussein, and Harrison Berger, provides details which place Epstein in the middle of the operation. Among those with whom Epstein collaborated in hiding the British-CIA-Mossad involvement were British arms trafficker Douglas Leese; Iranian arms dealer Cyrus Hashemi; and the Saudi trafficker with financial connections Adnan Khashoggi. The article reports that former Israeli official Shimon Peres had been part of this operation, and later former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who partnered with Epstein in funding joint ventures to develop and deploy AI surveillance technology.
A new name emerged in the story, former Assistant Attorney General J. Stanley Pottinger, who collaborated with Epstein in various money-laundering operations involving “dummy corporations.” That Pottinger was involved with Epstein points to a continuing coverup of the Epstein story. The authors write that they are investigating where the funds came from for the Epstein operations, and they identify financing from U.S., U.K., and Israeli intelligence operations. They also include the connection of Victoria Secret’s owner, billionaire Les Wexner, to Epstein, as Wexner purchased the CIA drug-trafficking airline, Southern Air Transport, while the federal investigation into it was ongoing.
But what is missing from the story is the deeper Wexner connection to the organized crime network of Meyer Lansky, which had been integrated into Deep State operations, in both funding ops and running wetworks, as part of the Mob’s commitment to Zionism from the 1940s on. Wexner was tied to it through the Bronfman crime family—he was a cofounder of the Mega Group, one of the more powerful channels of the Zionist Lobby. He also provided nearly $200 million to Epstein, along with the valuable contact network he built. Wexner had ties to Meshulam Riklis, one of the innovators of “junk bond” financing, which played a leading role in money laundering in the Milken raids of the 1980s; and to the network of Zionist-linked organized crime networks used by intelligence agencies for dirty work, such as that of Iran-Contra.
