Funny how our media always fails to mention Israel

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 15 points 14 hours ago

"Epstein ran a honeypot for former Ottoman Empire territories" is probably the best we'd get.

Oh my, so the Trump Kompromot is real!

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 35 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

starting to sound like a hooker piss video is the least offensive thing he might have done, considering that'd be atleast somewhat consensual right?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

Doubt it. There's no way to piss would've wanted to touch him.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 32 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Wasn't Epstein with Mossad?

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 17 points 17 hours ago

Now confirmed

[–] DeepThought42@lemmy.world 52 points 19 hours ago

On one hand this sounds plausible, but on the other the article cites the Daily Mail, which is far as I'm concerned isn't the most credible source of factual information. I'll hold my judgement until this is corroborated by more reliable sources.

How does this square with his Israeli ties?

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 35 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Sounds like homeslice was playing every angle to me… selling secrets to the Israeli government on the side, working for the oligarchs as his main gig, and boffing Maxi-max just for fun. Truly a multitasker of the lowest order.

Fuck me… I sound mad as a hatter. Happy Sunday y’all. God bless America 🪨🇺🇸🦅

selling secrets to the Israeli government on the side

I don't think it was on the side. The Israelis, the Brits, and the Americans were his primary clientele.

Bob Barr's father - one of the OG CIA guys under Dulles - was the guy who recruited him out of school. And Robert Maxwell was deep in with MI5 when he started seeing Ghislaine.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

He was not the spider in the middle of the web pulling the strings. He had people above him.

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

I mean… dude might have just liked bony MILFs, but IMHO it still takes an above average juggler to keep that many huge balls in the air 😉

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 6 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I was reading an article recently mentioning how Russia keeps tabs on its Jewish population through some Israeli org. Lemme go find it.

Edit: Hmmm can’t find it again. Might be in my search history when I get home. But there was a clear link between Russia and Israeli intelligence.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

He was first and foremost an opportunist. So, just like any american bourgeois.

Still don't see photos of incriminating email?

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 17 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Truly, nobody could have seen this coming, despite copious evidence going back decades.

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 1 points 4 hours ago

I miss Bernie.

I miss Bernie Mac.

websites with anti-fake sections don't smell reputable to me

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

It's a Ukrainian government outlet. So definitely keen to highlight anything negative about Russia.

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Can you expand on this? What does "anti-fake" mean to you, what does it mean to them? Is this something a lot of news outlets have? Is this the only one? I've never heard of this and I'm confused.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

See I'm confused by it too. I clicked on the link and there's an anti fake section. Dude says it's Ukrainian gov so I'll give it a grain of salt but I'm not sure.

The section is more visible on desktop than mobile, that may be the thing

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

The articles under the "anti-fake" heading seem to mostly be about illuminating and countering Russian propaganda efforts, Russian disinformation campaigns, Russian media subversion, etc.

"Anti-fake" is a term that has apparently been applied to official legislative efforts to counter propaganda, disinfo, and media subversion around the world. I hadn't heard the term before, but I'm not seeing anything inherently suspect about it, under the circumstances.

Maybe it's just an appropriate response to the times.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Well, aside from the huge "do not pay attention to the man behind the curtain" that this entire article reeks of? I can name no other news service that has it

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

"huh I guess you can just buy a Fidel Castro hat?"

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 18 hours ago

I keep seeing this story but haven't seen any supporting documents.
