Epstein scandal explodes in Israel as ties to former prime minister under scrutiny
Miami Herald ^

Posted on 07/14/2019 7:29:14 AM PDT by springwater13

Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest is reverberating in Israel, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing Likud party are calling for a criminal probe into former prime minister Ehud Barak’s personal and business ties with the accused sex trafficker, Israeli media is reporting.

Barak, 77, served as prime minister from 1999 to 2001. This month he formed a new party to run for prime minister against Netanyahu, who called for new elections in September. Once political allies, Barak and Netanyahu have been sparring on social media, with Netanyahu producing a video raising Barak’s relationship to the multimillionaire New York financier, and Ohio billionaire Les Wexner, who has given money to Barak, the Times of Israel reported.

Barak was a close friend and business partner with Epstein for years. Now some of those business partnerships are being scrutinized amid questions about Barak’s own source of wealth. The Times reported Saturday that Barak is exploring whether to sever business ties with Epstein, 66, who was charged last week with sex trafficking underage girls.

In 2015, Barak formed a limited partnership company in Israel to invest in a high-tech startup called Reporty, now named Carbyne., which develops video streaming and geolocation software for emergency services, the Times reported. A large part of the investment money was supplied by Epstein.

Barak also received $2.5 million from the Wexner Foundation in 2004 for research, which has never been fully explained, Haaretz reported. Epstein was a member of that foundation.

Speaking on Israel TV’s “Meet the Press,” Saturday, Barak stated he had no idea that Epstein’s charges related to molesting underage girls and defended his business relationship with Epstein.

Oh, I don’t have a TV or cable or anything. I just have a laptop, and I read OANN online. But I can at least not give FOX any more clicks.

We use this currently as an indoor antenna, and we are 55 miles from almost all transmitters it is directly facing.

On Amazon:

Free Signal TV Marathon Indoor Outdoor Antenna, Whole House 100 Mile Long Range High Performance Antenna for Digital HDTV
https://www.amazon.com/Marathon-Outdoor-Antenna-Performance-Digital/dp/B00O2M7N48

It is on the second floor standing on the floor, near a window, but houses block us. I need to get it on the roof for even better reception.

It does need a power outlet, but I’ve hijacked an antenna jack in the wall for a television to instead route the antenna signal down to our 4K television (I had to switch and connect two cables in our antenna junction box).

Antenna Web says we are too far out to get most of the signals, even if it was on a 30 foot high base, and outside!

I expect we’d get closer to 90+ stations, if everything was perfect, again, from 55+ miles away.

The antenna is self enclosed and is a little over two feet tall and one foot wide, minus the screw-in antenna add-on. I initially had problems with getting any signal from it, but then realized I had the amplifier inserted into the cabling the wrong way. I was ready to return it until I gave it one last rethink. I’m glad I did!

“The Times reported Saturday that Barak is exploring whether to sever business ties with Epstein, 66, who was charged last week with sex trafficking underage girls. “

exploring? what’s there to “explore”? whether it’s OK to continue to be a business partner with a world-class scumbag Class 3 pedophile who’s molested hundreds of underage girls?

“On the heels of a new indictment against Jeffrey Esptein for sexual trafficking, renewed attention is being paid to the financial advisor’s past business relationships. One of Epstein’s most frequently mentioned former clients is Leslie Wexner, CEO of L Brands. Here’s what we know about the connection between the two men-and Epstein’s mysterious finances.

Leslie Wexner, 81, is the founder and CEO of L Brands, a retail and fashion empire that includes Victoria’s Secret and Bath and Body Works. He famously started the business in 1963 by borrowing money from his aunt and opening a store called the Limited, which specialized in inexpensive clothing. He took the company public in the 1980s, and today, according to Forbes, his net worth is $4.8 billion.”

In the early 70’s, I worked at one of The Limited’s first stores in Columbus. Met all the Wexners — Les, his mother, father, and sister. Well, my mother always told me if I couldn’t say anything nice, not to say anything at all. I will leave it at that.

SDNY says they learned today that Epstein had in a locked safe a foreign passport issued in the 1980s, expired, with a photo that appears to be Epstein and a name that is not his. It also gives his place of residence as Saudi Arabia.

Was it signed by "Epstein's Mother"?

Epstein is a pilot. His Lolita express has shared tail number with Cya, state department and Ditex. He sold the plane in the last month or so.
