This is the Popular Front podcast with me Jake Hanrahan.

We're focused on the niche details of modern warfare and underreported conflict all across the world.

Popular Front is completely independent.

Today we're speaking to journalist Matthew Petty. He is the assistant editor at Reason Magazine.

We're going to be talking to him about the links, the pedophile human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein,

had to Israeli military intelligence, something Matthew Petty found through linked emails

between Epstein and Ahud Barak,

the former Israeli general, prime minister and minister of defense.

The conversations they were having were very strange to say the least.

Before we go into what you found with Epstein's links to Israel, what have you,

how did you find it?

Where was it you found these documents and maybe explain what they are?

prime minister of Israel,

former Lieutenant General, and former head of military intelligence.

This is after Barack is out of government, although not that long after he's out of government.

And, you know, his email inbox, along with several other Israeli officials, got hacked and leaked to the internet

by a group called Handala. We could talk about who they are. I mean, listen, I verified that these

emails are real to the extent you can. So to some extent that doesn't matter. But I think it does matter what the hackers' motivations were because I don't think they did.

I don't think they were looking for Epstein emails.

They were looking to get one over on the Israeli government.
