Yeah even with your sources you're making some VERY grand claims there.
I'm sure Israel and Mossad have their fingers in US politics but to claim that Epstein was a Mossad agent, you're going to need some big evidence to backt that up or just take it down because we already have enough conspiratorial bullshit out here
You're nitpicking about his payroll status (asset? agent? subcontractor?) rather than looking at whether he was passing information to Mossad, coordinating his actions with Israeli intelligence leaders such as Ehud Barak and using his influence to benefit Israel.
I think people have Epstein wrong. Ghislaine wasn't his accomplice. He was hers. Her father was linked to Mossad quite a lot and was buried in Jerusalem. The whole Maxwell family is crooked as all fuck.
1000% Accurate. Tons of evidence. Openly served foreign (zionist) interests.
Maybe he wasn't officially hired and trained by Mossad, but that's just formalism.
Epstein worked for Mossad period. Was he an exclusive officer of theirs? We don't know. We do know he did a lot of work with them. This is not a grand claim and I find kind of funny and kind of sad that you state it this way.
For instance, if I do work for the CIA I would be an agent of the CIA. If I worked directly for them I would be an officer. Perhaps you are just confused as to the definitions.
Here's what's weird about it, when you have that much money, you don't tend to work for anyone.
Why get involved in some complicated spy game? You're rich, you don't have to do shit, and in fact you're so rich you can do whatever you want... with children... I mean can you picture those same people who feel they are above the law, being beholden to anyone?
I don't know honestly. If I had several million dollars I would probably stop there, invest it and live off the interest and never have to work. I may hold down a job as a hobby, but I wouldn't be beholden to anyone. I guess I would never become a truly wealthy person.
Obviously there is something else driving these billionaires. It is never enough for them and I think it probably is something along the lines of a mental illness.
It's dragon sickness. Seriously. In all of high fantasy, there is exactly one dragon that has more than $1,000,000,000, when the story or setting was created. His name is Smaug. That gigantic pile of good and treasure amounts to somewhere between $10,000,000,000 - $15,000,000,000. In every other story or game, all the dragons (except of maybe one single Red dragon) have less than $1,000,000,000 in gold. (Admittedly the price of gold isn't helping here)
RAW: all other types of dragons have less wealth than Red Ancient Wyrms. A Red Ancient Wyrm will have between 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 gold pieces worth of wealth. We'll assume they are a Philistine, and all their wealth is in gold. That means that one single Red Wyrm per world might have somewhere around 500,000 oz of gold. Currently that much gold would be worth just over 2 billion dollars, but again that is the extreme statistical outlier of the literal greediest and most evil type of dragon.
Edit: oh and the worst part? The billionaires don't have an excuse. If the evil dragons don't hoard and eat their wealth just before they die, Tiamat / Thakisis will kill their soul. They literally take it with them. Our billionaires have no such rules governing them, they're just mentally ill.
Edit 2: I'm aware that shadowrun exists. That's not high fantasy.
