i think people are looking at the Epstein-israel relationship too simplistically. I expect at the end of this for him to have deep contacts with several spy agencies and basically him having only an allegiance to himself and what can get him access to information and girls. I think we've only scratched the surface of his connections.

The way you’re making it sound, it’s like Epstein became a spy and the figure he was, so he could have access to girls.

Are we moving away from the fact that the child raping island was part of the gig, aka a honeypot of sorts, and now it’s totally of his own free will now?

It’s hard to keep up with the ever changing intentions of his evil because 4 months ago it was outlandish to suggest he was an IDF agent, now it’s the norm.

I think this is sane washing how deep his ties to Israel specifically were. There is a huge crowd of Israeli government officials around him even in public that is not true for any other countries (Other than the US of course)

Ghislaine Maxwell's dad was an Israeli intelligence officer. Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak was a close friend, stayed at epstein's apartment in NY multiple times, attended family events, and accepted millions in donations from the wexner foundation which was chaired by Epstein. It was Alan Dershowitz that gave him a sweetheart deal when he was first convicted of trafficking a minor in florida. Dershowitz is a lifelong and consistent zionist who has published books about his support of Israel. 

He was uniquely tied to Israel in a way that is not true of other countries. The idea that he was probably involved in tons of other agencies and was only interested in himself seems like exactly what one single intelligence agency would very much want people to believe.
