The notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, widely believed to be an Israeli intelligence asset, played a behind-the-scenes role in nurturing the secret relationship between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) years before the 2020 Abraham Accords, newly leaked communications reveal.

      It’s hard not to assume so given so many important people were involved (visiting the island, hanging out on the jet) and not one has been willing to do an exposé. I would have thought someone would have put their own reputation aside and stepped up by now.

      Contempt of congress (by missing the deadline, and then not even releasing 1% of the files) is just another wee federal crime. Truly puzzling, with only 1% implicating so many things already and creatures in power & wealth, why they would fight so hard to keep it away from the light.

        Right, nothing’s stopped them yet. Just release the docs and act like its normal, like they do with everything else.

        Idk it must be pretty bad if they’re dragging their feet this hard.

    Whitney Webb wrote an encyclopaedia, One Nation Under Blackmail part 1 and 2, on the Epstein network, lots of primary sources. I think it’s crazy more people and media groups don’t reference her work.she was on the Chris Hedges channel a few months back, also the journalist Nick Bryant who has also written a lot about the Epstein network.

      Brings into question how many media personalities / elites were involved with Epstein’s blackmail operation. I think some of these stories are being written, but the editors aren’t letting them get published.

        Yeah I’ve definitely heard this a lot over the past few years. Nick Bryant said specifically that he’s approached many of the top media organisations and no one was interested in any of his work.

        Also there’s a very famous clip of Cindy McCain, wife of John McCain, who said very publicly in 2020 that “we all knew what Epstein was doing”.

        The implications of someone that high up saying that is pretty insane. Really hope the entire thing leaks.

        Anything incriminating for Trump and his friends will be quarantined, redacted, or just plain destroyed. There will be lots of gossipy stuff, but nothing actionable.

        OTOH, there are numerous investigations into his finances going on, including one by the Senate Finance Committee run by Ron Wyden. That’s where we might see something that ties to the pedophiles.
