How accurate is this article if you cannot get the correct name for Mr. Maxwell? His name is Robert and not James

This isn't even a theory, just baseless speculation. It says that Mossad was on the hunt for "damaging intelligence .. on the many powerful American politicos and other influential people Epstein was friends with—like Trump." Mossad does not have unlimited resources. So why pay "handsomely" for a reality TV star who, politically, was of no consequence?

Let me cite my article (published here: https://michelleillan.substack.com/p/israels-suicidal-tendency-knows-no): “As Zev Shalev presented in the recording of his interview with Ari Ben-Menashe (around the 18th minute of this video) Epstein and Ghislaine were working for Israeli military intelligence and: ‘... so they found a niche for themselves, blackmailing American and other, political figures.’”

On a different note, the U.S. very well could have ended up paying for the operation conducted against them. In a way, it’s a masterstroke to have your target fund the job done on itself. That would be chutzpah in the traditional sense — but not chaloshes, if I may use some Yiddish terminology — assuming my basic linguistic knowledge isn’t misleading me.

I understand that it might be a strange concept ... but, you know, Israel isn’t a very rich country. It’s definitely not rich enough to finance all its wars and intelligence operations. So, some level of creativity is necessary — and having the target country pay for the operation against it, or bribing its officials ... just floating completely crazy and easy-to-reject ideas here, purely for the sake of intellectual entertainment and definitely not pointing in any particular direction ...

In general, those who know don't tell and those who tell don't know. A purported exception to that general rule has to be closely scrutinized.

Very disturbing the lengths to which pro-Trump partisans are going to, to try and exonerate him. Note: The first name of Ghislaine Maxwell's late father was Robert, not James, as your first mention of him has it.

There were strengths and weaknesses of the recent Danny Casolero project https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Conspiracy:_The_Octopus_Murders , but one thing it did was convince me there was nothing left of “modified PROMIS” myth, beyond an intellectual property theft from the Hamiltons.

This saddens me and I guess I have to rule out all this other “great” PROMIS

stuff from the Ari Ben-Menache book “Profits of War” now.

This widening gyre will ensnare a lot of bad actors and Agencies, and break quite a few ankles and put some parties in prison. And so far the exposure has been peaceful, but considering what is at stake that may change.
