Do you want a narrative of intrigue that brings together money -- but a lot of money -- sex, corruption of powerful, secret services and few but extraordinary murders? You do not need to bite a volume: read in English the introduction of Jeffrey Epstein, after Ghislaine Maxwell and finally Robert Maxwell. Here's the summary, the other way around.
In November 1991, he was drowned in the Canary Islands, according to the Spanish police, Robert Maxwell, one of the great owners of the British press and Labour parliamentarian in two legislatures, at the age of 68. Founded in 1923 in a Czechoslovak Jewish family, in 1940 he escaped the Holocaust and fought in the foreign Czechoslovak army to continue in front of the British army: he ended up with the captain's degree in the II. World War.
For two years he worked as an interpreter of British secret services in occupied Berlin, weaving his network of contacts between KGB agents operating in Central Europe and, at the same time, supporting the authorities of the new State of Israel. After leaving the Army, he entered the world of publishing and the press, with the distribution of the German scientific publisher Springer Verlag for England and the United States.
In the 1964 elections, he would present himself with the Labour Party and become a parliamentarian, who would remain until 1970. The birth of the holding company Maxwell Communications Corporation would soon come and from there came the ownership of the press group Mirror: six newspapers, including the famous The Mirror. From his position as a large media employer, he nodded into the world of football clubs and continued to build relations between the authorities of the world, be it with French President François Mitterrand or Romanian Nicolai Ceaucescu.
Always linked to Israeli friends, Maxwell discreetly informed the Tel Aviv Government in 1986 that nuclear engineer Mordechai Vanunu had revealed to one of his newspapers the important details of the hitherto secret Dimona atomic reactor. Yes, the report was going to come to light, but it had previously been fooled by the secret Israeli services – including a beautiful spy, Cheryl Bentov – that had taken him to Rome, kidnapped and imprisoned in Israel.
After the death of Robert Maxwell in 1991, “the Spaniards carried out a bottomless autopsy,” the veteran French journalist Jacques-Marie Bourget, who was then in the Canary Islands, just wrote. “A year later I managed to get the second autopsy to Maxwell, which made him the counterespionage service Tel Aviven Shin Bet and had a very different British music:
By then, Maxwell was on the verge of bankruptcy and in order to deal with the debts he had to steal money from the pension funds of the employees of his companies and in order to be able to return the money, says Bourget, he turned to the Israelis and the Russians to collect the favors they had done to him.
Did Maxwell go into the well in the Canary Islands or, as Bourget and others believe, the CIA and Mossad decided to dismiss a friend who was becoming dangerous?
Lady Ghislaine
The truth is that the boat that saw Maxwell fall from the boat was called Lady Ghislaine, in honor of the favorite daughter of the cacique, and that Ghislaine Maxwell was... Jeffrey, Epstein's girlfriend and her closest attendant, has reportedly denounced several of the girls Epstein used as sexual slaves.
Jeffrey Edward Epstein, who just died at the age of 64, was also the son of a Jewish family. After starting as a math teacher in his youth, he took the leap to banking and finance. The legendary investment bank Bear Stearns was adopted in 1976, as it would become one of the most famous in the great crisis of 2008. But that would happen a lot later. Epstein became a finance star and a sorcerer, after settling in 1981 on his own and founding the IAG Intercontinental Assests Group, which was dedicated to raising money to failed companies.
One of his clients was Saudi businessman Adnan Khaxoggi, enriched in arms trafficking, and one of the great scandals of the time was the one that got into the Iran-Contra affair, selling U.S. arms to both the counter-revolutionaries of Nicaragua and the Iranians, including Israel.
Epstein had said around him that he was also providing intelligence services, showing an Austrian passport with a false name and domicile in Saudi Arabia. This passport was found by the police in July of this year, after being arrested for the second time. But the wind has favored Epstein for many years.
He was a successful financial speculator, not always for having provided the best service to his clients, but because he was always well off the accidents in speculation, including the frauds of the Ponzi model. He had entered the world of investment funds, with very powerful people between his clients and his partners, such as former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. But Epstein's star was clouded precisely on the eve of the storm that was recorded in the period 2007-2008.
After a 2005 complaint, the police collected dozens of photographs and videos recorded by the criminal himself and testimonies that revealed that Epstein was a predator of young and young girls. He negotiated with the judge an 11 month sentence... which he served in his palace and without giving up his fruitful life, with the pride of impunity.
But more women were reporting one after the other... On July 6, 2019 Epstein was arrested again.
According to well-documented Wikipedia, Epstein had cameras installed at many points in his buildings, apparently, in order to blackmail after recording the celebrities who made people with young girls: the images were found by the police in a bunch of well-classified CDs. Too many people wanting to make Epstein disappear. He died five days later, only in jail, with the prison chambers disconnected and the officials asleep.
No one has ever seen Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of Robert Maxwell, the bride of Jeffrey Epstein, who served the dragon to young and unold girls.
EUR 904 billion. This is the annual cost of corruption in the European Union, according to a study carried out in 2020. Between 2008 and 2020, 3,743 cases of corruption were published in the media, of which 109 corresponded to Hego Euskal Herria. Of course, we will find more... [+]
