Epstein was Linked to Mossad. Australian Media Covered it up

TL;DR

ABC journalist Matt Beavenon dismissed Epstein's Mossad ties by ignoring or downplaying substantial evidence linking Epstein to Israeli intelligence figures.

Key Points

• 1.Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell's father, owned the Sunday Mirror and allegedly tipped Mossad about whistleblower Mordecai Vanunu's nuclear photos, then used his paper to discredit them — a textbook intelligence "limited hangout."
• 2.After Maxwell died mysteriously by falling off his yacht in 1991, Israel gave him what amounted to a state funeral attended by prime ministers and presidents — a detail Beavenon omitted entirely.
• 3.Former Israeli spy Ari Ben-Menashe claims Maxwell introduced him to Epstein in the 1980s during Iran-Contra weapons dealings, and that Ghislaine Maxwell was herself a Mossad agent.
• 4.A 2005 email from Ghislaine to Epstein — released via the congressional Epstein file dump — references a CIA operative who "worked with dad," suggesting Robert Maxwell had intelligence ties and that Epstein knew him.
• 5.Beavenon never mentioned Ehud Barak — former Israeli PM and head of military intelligence Aman — despite Barak and Epstein collaborating on back-channel Syria diplomacy, Russian lobbying, and an Israeli-Mongolian security agreement.
• 6.Leaked 2014 emails show Epstein writing to Barak about civil unrest in Ukraine and Syria asking "isn't this perfect for you?" with Barak replying about turning it into "cash flow."
• 7.CIA-linked airline Southern Air Transport, which moved weapons during Iran-Contra, later pivoted to moving clothing for Victoria's Secret founder Les Wexner — with Epstein acting as a connector.
• 8.Beavenon's video falsely implies all Epstein-Mossad evidence traces to Ben-Menashe alone, ignoring documented Barak emails, the Ghislaine email, and Seymour Hersh's reporting — which the Mirror Group formally apologized for suing over in 1994.
