Epstein and Maxwell ran a “honeytrap” operation for Mossad, which survivor Maria Farmer described as a “Jewish supremacist” blackmail ring

The conclusion, then, is not a lurid morality tale about “bad people doing bad things,” nor the tired revelation that royals, celebrities, or billionaires behave with impunity. That much is already obvious. Child abusers exist across every class and every society. What does not exist everywhere is a system that records, archives, weaponises, and protects that abuse for strategic ends.

The Epstein case points not to isolated depravity, but to structured leverage: an architecture of blackmail in which sexual crimes become instruments of power rather than grounds for prosecution. That is why the fixation on individual scandal – princes, parties, and gossip – functions as misdirection.

The real scandal is the evidence of an intelligence-linked operation in which Mossad repeatedly appears as a point of reference, protection, and utility; an operation that embedded itself across politics, finance, media, and celebrity culture.

    It’s all good, I’m totally with you, agree with everything you wrote. Sorry for snapping at you, I am also very frustrated with the constant conflation of zionism/Israel with Jewish people, and the whole “Israel controls the US!!!” stuff is so frustrating because it’s so obvious that they’re both just aligned sharing a common goal it barely matters which is in control of the other really, they’re both terrible, doing terrible things, in support of each other.

      It’s also complicated by the fact that "control " is much more nuanced. Does the US exert direct control over Israel’s relations with other countries? More like influence. Are the subsidies sent by the US sufficient to fully determine Israel’s behavior? I’d say no. Does Israel control US politics? I’d say definitely no. Do Israel and Israel-adjacent organizations like AIPAC exert inappropriate and disproportionate influence over US federal-level politicians? I’d give that a strong yes, especially in the small amount of US policy that is of direct concern to the Israeli government.

      And I certainly regard it as a problem when any foreign power exerts that amount of influence on our leadership. It’s a problem when hostile states do it (which they are doing), but it’s also a problem when purported or actual allies do it.

        Israel is a puppet state of the USA. The US government is more protective over Israel than any single US state. It’s almost illegal to criticise Israel. The US has fucked over pretty much every ally other than Israel, Israel coincidentally does exactly what the US wants it to do all the time, Israel is defended by the US constantly, Israel was literally a colonial power created by the US and the UK… come on… it’s pretty obvious that it existed to give US citizens plausible deniability about their country’s imperialism and genocide in the middle east.
