Revealed: How Epstein Emerged As A Player In The Iran-Contra Debacle…

Epstein, Israel, and the CIA: Jeffrey Epstein helped Leslie Wexner repurpose the CIA’s Iran–Contra planes from arms smuggling to shipping lingerie...
In 1986, a commercial aircraft was shot down over Nicaragua. The subsequent investigation into the downed aircraft became known as the Iran-Contra scandal.
The plane was owned by Southern Air Transport, a commercial airline originally founded by the OSS after World War II. By the 1980s, Southern Air Transport functioned in effect as a CIA proprietary airline and was used to facilitate the illegal shipment of weapons to Iran, with profits diverted to fund the Contras in Nicaragua.
Jeffrey Epstein played a significant role in transitioning the airline from a freight carrier to a passenger carrier. Alongside other key figures, Epstein navigated complex financial systems, employing shell companies and banking networks to obscure the flow of money generated by these illicit transactions.
This complex narrative intersects with a broader web of political and financial scandals from the 1980s and involves prominent historical figures, including clothing retail magnate Leslie Wexner and Mossad asset Robert Maxwell. Together, these connections illustrate how Epstein’s business activities were intertwined with elite power players deeply embedded with intelligence, financial and political networks.
Epstein’s involvement in arms trafficking and money laundering indeed points to a broader pattern of elite business complicity in covert government malpractice. Nevertheless, naysayers — whether in the mainstream media, government, or on this very forum — will continue to argue that these connections demonstrate nothing more than Epstein’s status as a financier serving clients from the highest levels of government, business, and entertainment circles.

Much of what we know about Epstein’s long documented connections to the shadowy world of international espionage is ancient history. Epstein’s long association with the daughter of Robert Maxell is indeed a key piece in this puzzle:
The story of Robert Maxwell: Ghislaine’s disgraced media-mogul dad…
Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father was a media mogul with deep ties to global intelligence operations, played a crucial role in Epstein’s network. Robert Maxwell’s own life — marked by allegations of espionage, fraud, and his mysterious death — indeed indicates that Epstein’s criminal activities were part of a larger, darker web that extended beyond just finance and high society.
Yet again, the drones will continue to insist that these connections prove nothing. At this late stage, the main reason stories of this nature are noteworthy is because it shows the real kooks in this discussion are those who still claim it is a kOoKy cOnSpiRaCy tHeOrY to suggest Esptein was a Deep State intelligence asset.

Makes you wonder if Barry Seal and JE crossed paths during that time period.

Are you suggesting Epstein facilitated the hit on Seal?

If the Kennedy Assassination was the mother of all Deep State conspiracy theories, Iran-Contra is the bastard baby. The main lesson of the Iran-Contra scandal is that the true winner of the Cold War was the Deep State.
The only question after the fall of the Iron Curtain was whether the left wing or the right wing of the Deep State would prevail. With the emergence of Bill and Hillary in 1992, we had our answer to that immediate question.
The Crimes of Mena Arkansas
quote:
MENA, Ark. -- What do Bill Clinton and Oliver North have in common, along with the Arkansas State Police and the Central Intelligence Agency? All probably wish they had never heard of Mena.
President Clinton was asked at his Oct. 7 press conference about Mena, a small town and airport in the wilds of Western Arkansas. Sarah McClendon, a longtime Washington curmudgeon renowned for her off-the-wall questions, wove a query around the charge that a base in Mena was "set up by Oliver North and the CIA" in the 1980s and used to "bring in planeload after planeload of cocaine" for sale in the U.S., with the profits then used to buy weapons for the Contras. Was he told as Arkansas governor? she asked.
"No," the president replied, "they didn't tell me anything about it." The alleged events "were primarily a matter for federal jurisdiction. The state really had next to nothing to do with it. The local prosecutor did conduct an investigation based on what was in the jurisdiction of state law. The rest of it was under the jurisdiction of the United States Attorneys who were appointed successively by previous administrations. We had nothing -- zero -- to do with it."
It was Mr. Clinton's lengthiest remark on the murky affair since it surfaced nearly a decade ago, in the middle of his long tenure as governor of Arkansas. And while the president may be correct to suggest that Mena is an even bigger problem for previous Republican administrations, he was wrong on just about every other count. The state of Arkansas had plenty to do with Mena, and Mr. Clinton left many unanswered questions behind when he moved to Washington.
Anyone who thinks that Mena is not serious should speak to William Duncan, a former Internal Revenue Service investigator who, together with Arkansas State Police Investigator Russell Welch, has fought a bitter 10-year battle to bring the matter to light. They pinned their hopes on nine separate state and federal probes. All failed.
"The Mena investigations were never supposed to see the light of day," says Mr. Duncan, now an investigator with the Medicaid Fraud Division of the office of Arkansas Attorney General Winston Bryant. "Investigations were interfered with and covered up, and the justice system was subverted."
The mysteries of Mena, detailed on this page on June 29, center on the activities of a drug-smuggler-turned-informant named Adler Berriman "Barry" Seal. Mr. Seal began operating at Mena Intermountain Regional Airport in 1981. At the height of his career, according to Mr. Welch, Mr. Seal was importing as much as 1,000 pounds of cocaine a month.
By 1984, Mr. Seal was an informant for the Drug Enforcement Agency and flew at least one sting operation to Nicaragua for the CIA, a mission known to have drawn the attention of Mr. North. By 1986, Mr. Seal was dead, gunned down by Colombian hitmen in Baton Rouge, La. Eight months after Mr. Seal's murder, his cargo plane, which had been based at Mena, was shot down over Nicaragua with Eugene Hasenfus and a load of Contra supplies aboard.....
