"Epstein COVERUP Began in 1981!" - DARPA Docs Expert Exposes Truth | Mike Benz • 324
AI Summary
Mike Benz, a former U.S. Department of State official and Executive Director of the Foundation For Freedom Online, discusses the deep connections between Jeffrey Epstein and intelligence networks, tracing their origins back to the Iran-Contra affair in the 1980s. He highlights how the CIA, after reforms in the 1970s, shifted its covert operations to outside financiers, NGOs, and universities to maintain plausible deniability. Benz details the Iran-Contra scheme, where illegal arms sales to Iran were skimmed to fund Nicaraguan Contras, often involving drug trafficking and offshore banking networks. He connects figures like Adnan Khashoggi, Southern Air Transport, and Bill Clinton's administration to these operations, and points out Epstein's alleged ties to Khashoggi and his later control over Les Wexner's companies, which utilized Southern Air Transport. Benz further argues that institutions like Harvard, Columbia, and major teachers' unions have been co-opted by intelligence agencies, receiving billions in government grants to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives, as seen in Russia's privatization in the 1990s and Ukraine's economic recovery today. He criticizes the lack of transparency, particularly regarding the Justice Department's investigation into Epstein's intelligence ties and Bill Barr's alleged role in covering up Iran-Contra. Benz concludes that these deep-seated networks, initially used against foreign adversaries, have now been weaponized against domestic populism, creating a "schizophrenia" in American society and undermining democratic will.
