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.

    Besides the speculations about Israel and Russia having some relation to Epstein’s “work” (which sure looks like a honeypot, even if typically the operator of a honeypot doesn’t dive into honey) there is another avenue of extortion open currently.

    It is imaginable that US special services could offer people “deals” worded like:

    • “would you like your name to be redacted from, or published with the Epstein files?”

    …and it’s foreseeable that some people would do a lot to have their name redacted. I hope that in the DoJ, it’s a large crew of many people doing the redactions, since that would reduce risk of someone trading favours.

    Mossad is a terrorist organization. What can you expect from them? Law and Order? Mossad is opposite of Law and Order. They blackmail or kill, whatever is more beneficial for them.

      I feel like all governments that are a part of the 5 eyes should have been naturally, aithenticly, and genuinely overthrown by any person that claims to give any fucks about the human race. Maybe eventually an honest war will start.

      I couldn’t live without my sports, iPhone, and Hollywood though. Soooo worth it throw it all away for some other entity to completely own humanity. /S It’s time to do our best detox from what is not truly necessary.

      All the main intelligence agencies own the world.

      We aren’t coming back from this as a species and we didn’t just start to lose touch, we’ve been running on an arrogant and ignorant high for decades.

        Only decades? I’d go back centuries.

        We aren’t coming back from this as a species

        I disagree. I still believe in us. We are the most co-operative animal on the planet. We can do better. We need to abolish capitalism and other forms of coercive power, but once we have done that, I genuinely believe that the human race can be an incredible force for good.

    It’s so jarring to me to hear a sentence structured like that, and I can put my finger on why. It sounds like it was written by Charlie Kelly.

      I highly suggest everybody give the woman a listen. She is on point.

      What’s happening is bigger then simply the ICE issue, and bigger than trump and the Republicans or the democrats… We are fucked and need to get serious.

      The ruling class own and control the entire world. Billionares and C-suite corporate executives. Some of them are jewish, many are not. The ruling class use the USA and Israel as tools in their game of global hegemony. They want you to blame everything on the Jews because that distracts you from the truth, that capitalism exploits us all. Please wake up.

        Don’t spread this misinformation. Israel is a puppet state of the US, not the other way around. It’s tempting to want to blame a foreign nation for the terrible crimes we see in Israel and in the US but unfortunately it all comes back to the US and the UK.

            You rightly don’t care but the misinformation that Israel controls the US is extremely dangerous and will lead to terrible antisemitic atrocities if it is allowed to take root.

              Israel deverves that wholly, because it does control a whole lot via proxies, blackmail and antisemitism threats.

              If Romania din terrible things, you call out Romania, you don’t loiter around worrying about what will happen to diaspora citizens of Romania before calling out atrocities commited by Romania.

              If Romania meddled in the US admin, building up blackmail and using it as leverage, you call out Romania.

              The world already knows zionism is the issue, not jews, and if they don’t they will be told until they understand.

              But you can’t just bend over and give Israel your other hole just because you may get called a racist undeservedly.

              I can’t be bothered to give a damn about a country that I see online constantly celebrating and threatening deaths of children, on every platform that doesn’t censor it.

                That’s not what I’m saying, hear me out here. Fuck Israel, it should 100% be dissolved and their leaders should be tried for crimes against humanity and executed.

                But you gotta realize you are replying to a thread which literally blames all jews. Not zionists, not even israeli jews, just all jews. We are on the precipice of repeating the events of the 20th century and while your anger is valid it is enabling it.

                Israel does not control the US. It is 100% true that Israel has a powerful lobby and many in the ruling class have ties to Israel, but geopolitically speaking, Israel furthers the foreign policy interests of the United States, not the other way around.

                Israel exists to ensure the middle east remains destabilized and ripe for colonial extractive interests. That’s why the US sends Israel so much aid and weapons, because Israel is a weapon of US imperialism.

                  I didn’t read the linked post admittedly, just the op on lemmy, but yea I agree, jews shouldn’t all be bundled in this

                  Maybeb I’m just blind but I don’t see a mention of all jews on the lemmy op text post
