Caitlin Johnstone is right, of course - you knew that, I suppose

Caitlin Johnstone@caitoz 9 hours ago:


Every news outlet, pundit and analyst who tries to tell you that Epstein was a Russian intelligence operative instead of an Israeli one is just telling you they're a propagandist. View it as a big flashing sign that says "Never trust anything from this source ever again."

Cenk Uygur:

A child given an assignment to figure out who Epstein worked for could do it in 15 minutes, but NOT A SINGLE REPORTER in legacy media has figured it out? They’re all covering up for Israel.

    The propagandists among each and all of Russia’s enemies have missed the biggest of Epstein’s disclosures. This is because it’s invisible: it is missing from the Department of Justice files but this is not because it is being hidden by the Trump Administration to protect Trump and his Republican allies, nor by the Democrats in Congress covering up for their allies and moneymen.

    This isn’t a secret of sex with Russian women.

    The record shows that at no point in his career did Epstein spend any of his considerable cash on buying real intelligence on his targets – none whatever on Russia, on Israel, on the UAE. Instead, he was given excerpts from the New York Times or Washington Post. He never asked for more.

    Those newspapers produce disinformation. Intelligence of the necessary quality is regularly contracted for and delivered to the credit and risk committees of the bankers and investors with whom Epstein worked and for whom he managed money. Since there is no evidence that Epstein took credits himself from the institutions these individuals represented, directed, or owned, he and his contact and influence networks weren’t subject to the standard due diligence which is required for institutional loans to be approved. Epstein made money by leveraging private credit – his creditors appear not to have investigated him, and he didn’t investigate the Israelis, Americans, Norwegians or Emiratis with whom he communicated. Certainly not the Russians he targeted.

    Unlike his banker, broker and lawyer associates, Epstein did not pay retainers for regular or even occasional reports from ex-intelligence agency veterans from the CIA, FBI, MI6, or Mossad. For a professional money manager, or high-society influence peddler, or low-class hustler, the Epstein files reveal he had an exceptional lack of curiosity and an extraordinarily unprofessional ignorance.

    This is evidence that Epstein was always an agent, asset, source of chickenfeed, or bagman but never a handler, controller, or spymaster. Who they were is another story. In this story there is conclusive evidence they weren’t Russian.

      Helmer can be excellent and sometimes sounds crazy but this is the most interesting thing I have read about Epstein - thank you.

    Here is the proof Epstein was a Russian asset:

    - his girlfriend was the daughter of a Mossad agent
    - one of his best friends was Israel's lawyer
    - another of his best friends was a former Israeli prime minister
    - he met with the current Israeli prime minister
    - a senior Israeli spy would stay at his house for weeks at a time
    - a friend invited him to bring his girls to Israel
    - he fled to Israel when he was charged with sex crimes against a minor
    - he was pictured wearing an IDF shirt
    - he was funded by pro-Israel fanatics
    - he worked for the Rothschilds
    - he donated to pro-Israel student groups
    - he was responsible for the Wexner group's "pro-Israel philanthropy"
    - he supported Israeli settlement projects
    - his friends were all Zionists
    - he scathingly referred to non -Jews as "goyim"
    - he was involved in Israeli diplomacy efforts
    - he brokered security deals for Israel
    - he aimed to profit from regime changes in the Middle East
    - a former Israeli intelligence officer said he ran a honeypot for Israel
    - his business partner confirmed he ran a honeypot for Israel
    - one of his victims confirmed h ran a honeypot for Israel

    As you can see, all of this was done for the benefit of Russia. There is no other explanation.
