"Benjamin Netanyahu Had Jeffrey Epstein Ties"

[moniss]

This is the headline from an article from the business news site "JewishBusinessNews" dated 07/21/23 with a byline from Lily Bethlehem. This article is timely to bring back up now given the NYT reporting about the ties between JP Morgan Chase bank and Epstein. To be clear the ties, for now, appear to be about business and do not provide anything to suggest an involvement in the other conduct of Epstein. However the conviction and new accusations against Epstein were well known and so the idea that Netanyahu was "unaware" of this regarding Epstein isn't likely.

Despite the conviction of Epstein in Florida, slight though it was, and the investigation of him for trafficking and charges of raping underage girls as the NYT article points out the bank loved him like a brother. But this was not by any stretch the first report and the earlier report goes into Epstein apparently lining up a meeting between the higher-ups at JPMC and Netanyahu. The article notes that the execs were really doubtful about being able to get such a meeting but then it suddenly happened.

The article notes the closeness of JPMC exec Jes Staley with Epstein:

"In an internal report, JPMorgan Chase wrote that Jes Staley “appears to have a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, regularly communicating with him and seeking advice from him including while Epstein is incarcerated." Once the meeting with Netanyahu was arranged the article notes that an internal message was generated within JPMC that noted that against all odds the meeting had been granted by Netanyahu. The article notes:

"Staley reportedly forwarded the message to Jeffrey Epstein saying “Thanks,” who replied, “surprisee suprise.” I don't know if or where the misspelling took place.

The article notes that JPMC paid a settlement in 2023 to one of the victims in the amount of $290 million apparently regarding some of the facilitation of funding for maintaining the Epstein situation. According to the article much of this information has come from the release of files in the suit by the US Virgin Islands against JPMC. The article notes a very interesting part of those files:

"The released files also showed that Jeffrey Epstein procured women for fees of thousands of dollars for JPMorgan execs. But there was no evidence released specifying what the women actually did." Golly Mr. Peabody I wonder what it was for?

1. Makes sense, simultaneously under orders from Putin

The piece of shit is trying to start a civil war here, Putin wants very much to destroy us and he’s using his piece of shit to do it.

Piece of shit is happy to do it because he knows he’s going to be able to either imprison or kill President Obama who he hates with every ounce of his being for reasons we all already know.

It took eight years but finally when I/we say the obvious and the reality that we are now in, it’s accepted and not screamed at.

4. Yes puzzle pieces falling into place so even the skeptics have to pay attention finally.

Yes the Israel/Putin/Trump/Epstein connection is obvious.

Right after the HAMAS attack it was obvious Putin's fingerprints
were all over it. Now we know Bibi was also part of it.

Yes Putin's long time goal is to balkanize the US.
He blames the US for the USSR falling apart.
And is getting revenge via a US Civil War.

When you are ahead of the curve, you have to get used to people
scoffing at you and ridiculing you. Then when you are proven right, everyone
then says they knew it all along. So you can never win.
Goes with the Cassandra territory.

2. makes more sense than the other theories

Keeping epstien protected under bush, Obama, and Biden seems like more power than being a russian asset could provide.

Being an Israeli asset, on the other hand.. especially combined with bipartizan compromised upper level folk,would definitely fit what we know happened

9. New York Times-How JPMorgan Enabled the Crimes of Jeffrey Epstein

This article was discussed on MSNBC a couple times last night. JP Morgan knew that Epstein was a criminal and did NOT debank him. This is a very long article but is very interesting. Here is a gift link to this story.

When JP Morgan was considering cutting ties with Epstein, Epstein introduced Bibi

Good NYTimes reporting. But it's still unclear where Epstein's fortune came from. Way down in the story, it asks, "Where was all this money coming from?" More reporting needed.

Sure enough, just as more bank employees were losing patience with Epstein in 2011, he began dangling more goodies. That March, to the pleasant surprise of JPMorgan’s investment bankers in Israel, they were granted an audience with Netanyahu. The bankers informed Staley, who forwarded their email to Epstein with a one-word message: “Thanks.” (The bank spokesman said JPMorgan “neither needed nor sought Epstein’s help for meetings with any government leaders.”) And around that same time, Epstein presented an opportunity that, like the Highbridge deal years earlier, had the potential to be transformative.
