Jacques Cousteau, and really many prominent oceanographers / explorers (Ballard, who discovered the Titanic, comes to mind) have a background in espionage. Getting a large international joint effort off the ground coming from that field...can be difficult.

Recently Alexandra Cousteau, the grand-daughter of Jacques, had her name surface in regards to Epstein and whatever operation he was running.

I know these sound like conspiracy theories, but Ballard was actually on a secret US Navy mission to find some subs when he accidentally stumbled on the Titanic:

And the Glomar Explorer was an actual CIA operation:

...but dragging Epstein into this? Really?

Jacques Cousteau was a horrible person, both personally (bigot, anti-Semite, pathological liar) and professionally. It's inexplicable that he passes for a defender of nature when in reality he "explored" things by blowing them up with explosives and destroyed unique sites, etc.

The grandson is a different person of course; but he invokes his grandfather's name as a reference and proof of competence. Don't fall for it.
