The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Once in a while, Marco or Dope make a good point. Sometimes, I will even agree with one or the other.

But Marco will not like this.

From the Epstein files:

e-mail from Mark Iverson (film director and producer) from 2021, telling about how he was warned to stay away from Ghislaine Maxwell, because she was a spy, in 1982. The e-mail goes on to express Iverson's suspicions that Ghislaine, her father Robert, and Epstein are all Mossad agents.

An e-mail exchange between Epstein and Ehud Barak, getting their story straight about not being Mossad agents, with smiles indicating there is more to the conversation that is being said. as summarized by the net sifter.

Based on declassified FBI documents and leaked, hacked emails (circa 2025–2026), there is a recorded exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak regarding whether they worked for the Mossad.

The Specific Email: In one exchange within the released files, Epstein wrote to Barak: “you should make clear that i dont work for mossad. :)”.

Barak's Response: Barak replied to this message with: “You or I?”.

Epstein's Clarification: Epstein then responded: “that I dont :)”.

Contextual Information:

FBI Memo Claims: A 2020 FBI memo included in the released files cited a confidential human source who believed Epstein was a “co-opted Mossad agent” who “trained as a spy” under Ehud Barak.

Relationship Intensity: The documents show a close relationship, with Barak visiting Epstein’s New York townhouse more than 30 times between 2013 and 2017.

Other Evidence: Other hacked emails show the two discussed business, including investments in tech/security and efforts to recover assets, with some reports suggesting they brokered intelligence connections.

Denials: Despite these, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has publicly called accusations that Epstein worked for the Mossad "categorically and totally false".

The emails suggest a "joking, sometimes defensive" back-and-forth about these ties rather than a direct confession of intelligence employment in that specific message.
