Acosta was outgunned and basically ‘bought over’.

So, let’s do a thought experiment.
Epstein is just one leg of a many legged table of brownstoning. The island he ‘owns’ isn’t really his, he’s just a frontman for the ‘organization’.
The flight logs? Only a small fraction of the people who’ve actually been to the island. Do you really think MOST royalty would ride on a dingy plane like his with ‘commoners’ and public servants? What about the ‘real’ wealthy? Ditto...not flying with some elected official from bloomfield illinois...
So while it’s convenient to think it’s all about espionage against the US (and admit it, we’re the biggest target because biggest military and biggest economy), we don’t have a moratorium on natural resources or other things the wealthy/powerful want to plunder with impunity.
Just how many countries are implicated with this...?
Is LSJ the ONLY island in this?
Are there ‘islands’ around the world for similar operations against those local elites?
