The Iran-Contra affair and Epstein’s connection with Adnan Khasoggi
2017: The United States-Saudi Arabia arms deal provided a window into the worldwide military-industrial complex. State Dept. officials had discouraged the probe of Saudi arms sales. The watchdog, fired by Trump, told Congress he was looking into Mike Pompeo’s approval of an $8bn arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
1981: Jeffrey Epstein was asked to leave Bear Stearns for, according to his sworn testimony, being guilty of a “Reg D violation”.
Ronald Reagan was president at that time.
One of Epstein’s clients was the Saudi Arabian businessman Adnan Khashoggi, who was the middleman in transferring American weapons from Israel to Iran, as part of the Iran–Contra affair .
Adnan Khashoggi was implicated in the Iran–Contra affair as a key middleman in the arms-for-hostages exchange along with Iranian arms dealer Manucher Ghorbanifar and in a complex series of events, was found to have borrowed money for these arms purchases from the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) with Saudi and United States backing .
Khashoggi was the “principal foreign agent” of the United States and helped establish the supranational intelligence partnership known as the Safari Club.
The creation of the Safari Club coincided with the consolidation of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). The BCCI served to launder money, particularly for Saudi Arabia and the United States—whose CIA director in 1976, George H. W. Bush, had a personal account.
BCCI also served as an intelligence gathering mechanism by virtue of its extensive contacts with underground organizations worldwide.
