(Human Events)—Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec spoke with Mike Benz on Tuesday in a wide-ranging discussion about intelligence operations, government secrecy, and Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged connections to the intelligence community.
Benz drew historical lines between Cold War-era covert programs and figures like Epstein, Khashoggi, and even Martin Luther King Jr.

“But Epstein was, you know, by his own testimony in 1987, he gave an interview and said one of his top clients was Adnan Khashoggi, who was the CIA middleman between the US and Israel with respect to Iran-Contra,” Benz told Posobiec. “If he’s handling sheltering assets for Adnan Khashoggi—and Adnan Khashoggi is the world’s most prolific arms runner and the top commission agent of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon and everyone else—and the whole affair rides on this guy and his money is being handled by Jeffrey Epstein, that’s a pretty big node for the CIA to have to know about, given that that’s the linchpin of their operation.”
Benz said the CIA’s operations during the Iran-Contra affair relied on covert logistics, including the use of a proprietary airline: “And then what’s used in Iran Contra for smuggling the drugs and guns and cash to fund that illegal war? Well, it was Southern Air Transport, a CIA proprietary airline.”
