Epstein’s Connection with Israel Should not be Ignored

Leave a reply

Sometimes a lie is so apparent that it is obscured by its sheer audacity. A ruse so enormous that it defies our conceptualization of facts. In the case of Jeffrey Epstein, there are things about his life which seem to defy who he actually was.

Epstein moved amongst the most wealthy, influential and powerful men and women. Appearing like a rich, slick lothario. Yet, by all accounts, the man himself was dumpy, uncouth, outwardly vulgar and spectacularly stupid.

He had cunning. But his personality oozed qualities more commonly associated with a slumlord who runs a sleazy strip club and cheap brothel. Nothing about him comes across as authentic.

How was a working-class boy from Coney Island, son of a construction labourer and groundskeeper for the New York City Parks Department and a school aide and secretary, able to rise up so rapidly? Why was a man who never completed university hired to teach math and physics at the elite Dalton School on Manhattan’s monied Upper East Side?

Epstein was sacked from Dalton for inappropriate interactions with students and being abysmally bad at teaching. Yet despite this, he was hired by Wall Street executive, Alan “Ace” Greenberg, for the prestigious Bear Stearns. It is as if Epstein “failed up the ladder of success” from there. More on Greenberg later.

Epstein’s “success” has been easily explained away by media figures and influencers as being a classic “rags to riches” tale. But when one examines his life with any seriousness, a stunning mediocrity emerges which defies these fables. Some have noticed that Epstein’s riches mysteriously coincided with Robert Maxwell’s missing fortune. Robert Maxwell is the late father of the infamous Ghislaine.

Maxwell died in bankruptcy and disgrace, allegedly drowning after falling from his yacht. But he had established secret offshore trusts in places like Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Trusts which were beyond the reach of creditors and which reportedly provided his daughter Ghislaine with an inheritance of at least $10 million pounds. But there are other aspects that most likely contributed to the image of Jeffrey Epstein that deserve closer scrutiny.

Now, before I go further, I want to be clear about something. It is unfortunate that there are some who are peddling loathsome antisemitic tropes in reference to the Epstein files. Epstein’s worldview appeared to be far more informed by Zionism, which is a political ideology, than by Judaism, which is a religious and cultural identity. And that is an important distinction. Conflating the two is lazy and misinformed. There are many Jews who are not Zionists and many who are opposed to the ideology. And there are many Zionists who are not Jewish.

But Epstein’s ties to Israel have been well documented, although not widely reported on in mainstream media. He was very close to former Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak. And the two joked about Epstein being a Mossad asset.

And thus we return to the man who got Epstein going, the late Alan “Ace” Greenberg. It is well known that Greenberg was an ardent supporter of the Zionist apartheid state. He had donated large sums of money to medical centres and the Israel Museum, and funded the construction of a middle school and sports centre in Gilo, which is an illegal settlement in East Jerusalem, naming them after his mother and father, respectively.

Greenberg likely met Epstein through a connection with the latter’s failed position at the prestigious Dalton School in Manhattan. Epstein was known for schmoozing the wealthy parents of students. And Greenberg had a soft spot for working class men with aspirations to be rich. Even though Epstein was eventually compelled to resign from Bear Stearns due to involvement in insider trading, there is speculation that this opportunity connected him even more with Israel.

Epstein went on to fail upwards at businesses involved in “debt collection” and “hostile corporate takeovers.” He was named in the notorious Towers Financial scandal which bilked investors of nearly $500 million dollars. At the time, it was noted as being the “biggest Ponzi scheme in American history.”

Miraculously, Epstein avoided going to prison. His business partner, Steven Hoffenberg, wasn’t so lucky. Even though Hoffenberg maintained that Epstein was the architect of the scheme. Just two years after the case, Epstein would reinvent himself again and make a stunning comeback.

Here is where Epstein’s life became even more murky, with shadowy connections to figures like Adnan Khashoggi. The cousin of Dodi Fayed (who was killed with Princess Diana in a car crash in Paris) and the uncle of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi, this Saudi businessman and arms dealer was known for being the richest man in the world in the 1980s, with a net worth of $4 billion.

Khashoggi lived an extravagant lifestyle, which included a owning 12 palatial estates worldwide, a fleet of private jets (including a DC-8) and a 282-foot superyacht, the Nabila, which he was later forced to sell to Donald Trump due to financial troubles. In 1986, Khashoggi sold his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine (originally named Princess Amar), to Robert Maxwell. He died in 2017.

The most important aspect of Khashoggi was that he was implicated in the Iran-Contra affair. Epstein’s consulting firm, Intercontinental Assets Group, listed him as a client. Khashoggi was the primary middleman for the U.S. weapons transfers from Israel to Iran that defined the scandal.

British arms dealer, Douglas Leese, apparently mentored Epstein in the early 1980s and introduced him to both Khashoggi and Robert Maxwell. Maxwell was known for having a deep connection with Israeli intelligence, and it is alleged that Epstein was involved in his network, which sought to facilitate Israeli arms sales to Iran and funnel the proceeds through offshore accounts.

Recent revelations from late 2025 seem to indicate that Epstein helped billionaire Leslie Wexner repurpose planes for his retail business which were previously used by Southern Air Transport, a CIA-linked airline used for Iran-Contra arms smuggling.

Epstein’s reported expertise in moving money through offshore accounts was allegedly utilized to facilitate the complicated flow of funds for these arms deals. During the planning of Iran-Contra, Epstein’s close friend Ehud Barak who served as the head of Israeli military intelligence (AMAN) at the time oversaw the logistics for Khashoggi’s shipments to Iran.

None of this is to say with absolute certainty that Jeffrey Epstein worked for Mossad. There is currently no definitive evidence to support that. But his relationship to Ehud Barak, who would go on to become prime minister of Israel, certainly raises legitimate suspicions.

It is worth noting that Barak and his wife visited Epstein’s Caribbean island, frequently stayed in one of Epstein’s Manhattan apartments and was seen visiting his townhouse on multiple occasions.

He was also was implicated in a violent sexual assault alleged by the late Virginia Guiffre who referred to him as “the prime minister.” He was the only prime minister Guiffre ever met. Former Epstein staff allege they saw Barak flying on Epstein’s private plane with young girls.

In a leaked three-hour recording from 2013, Ehud Barak was heard discussing a “selective” immigration strategy for Israel with Jeffrey Epstein. Barak suggested that the state should take in one million Russian immigrants to offset the Indigenous Palestinian population.

Epstein also served as a financial fixer for Barak, promising in a 2013 email to help him make “at least few hundred million” in the private sector. He reportedly facilitated Barak’s connections to tech billionaires like Peter Thiel and his cofounded, mass surveillance company, Palantir.

It is worth noting that Palantir has been heavily complicit in the genocide in Gaza. Through its extensive contracts with the Israeli military, it is largely responsible for providing the country with surveillance and drone technology, which has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Palantir technology was also used in the terrorist pager attacks Israel carried out in Lebanon in September of 2024, which killed scores of civilians, including children, and injured thousands, some of them with lifelong mutilations, eye loss and brain damage.

Palantir CEO, Alex Carp has been vociferous in his support of the genocidal apartheid state and the company held its first board meeting in Tel Aviv in 2024.

In addition to Epstein’s relationship with Ehud Barak, in 2006 he joined ultra-Zionist lawyer Alan Dershowitz to smear John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt as being antisemitic for their article: “The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy.” Epstein happily promoted the rebuttal by Dershowitz to all of his wealthy and powerful friends.

Alan Dershowitz, himself, was a key architect of the 2008 federal plea deal in Florida which allowed Epstein to serve only 13 months in a county jail with work-release for soliciting a minor, while granting immunity to unnamed “potential co-conspirators.” He continued to maintain his relationship with Epstein, saying it was predominantly “academic.” Yet he admitted to flying on Epstein’s private plane, staying at his homes, and taking a Lexus for his wife in lieu of legal fees.

In addition to this, the late Virginia Giuffre alleged she was trafficked to Dershowitz for sex on multiple occasions when she was a minor. Dershowitz vehemently denied these claims and Guiffre eventually dropped the lawsuit saying she “may have made a mistake.”

But other unsubstantiated allegations from former Epstein staff have surfaced alleging misconduct by the high profile lawyer. Dershowitz would go on to accuse Guiffre of lying about Andrew Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew). And most of us see how that turned out.

The revelations are monumental. Jeffrey Epstein and the notorious files cannot be separated from the murderous Israeli regime or the political ideology of Zionism. But this is just what we are seeing now, with mainstream media deliberately obscuring the connections and choosing instead to amplify a bigger Russian role.

Without a doubt, Epstein dealt heavily with Russian oligarchs and Vladimir Putin does not have clean hands in any of this. According to recently released emails, he arranged meetings with between Israel and Russian officials during the war in Syria. He also associated and consorted with a wide array of American politicians and billionaires and European aristocracy and royalty.

The idea that Jeffrey Epstein made it to where he was just before he died all by himself is the lie that is being peddled by many politicians and some in the media. It is a lie that is easily exposed. Yet it is being told repeatedly to reduce the urgency of interrogating these questionable ties.

The common markers of these relationships are simple: wealth accumulation for the wealthiest, obtaining and maintaining political power, arms dealing, money laundering and criminal impunity. And Epstein trafficked in all of these things as much, if not more, than he trafficked young girls. There are many villains in this story and they are from many places with many interests.

But despite the silence among Western politicians and legacy media, Jeffrey Epstein’s link to a nation-state that has implemented a decades-long campaign of ethnic cleansing and apartheid, ultimately culminating in the genocide the world has witnessed over the last 2+ years, cannot simply be brushed away.

Pointing this out is not bigotry. It is fact. And like the children in the files, the millions of victims of this sinister project deserve far better than being ignored once again.

The Disdain the Ruling Class has for Humanity

Leave a reply

One major feature of the Epstein Files, apart from the heinous predatory and abusive behaviour of powerful men, is their overall disdain for the “lower classes.” In one email exchange between film producer Barry Josephson and Epstein, the two pivoted from discussing a 16 year old girl to a conversation they had had with Bill Gates. The topic apparently pertained to a question Epstein allegedly asked Gates, “how do we get rid of poor people as a whole?”

This isn’t the only reference to elitism at the heart of the files. Epstein associated with billionaires like Peter Theil who is well-known for an essay he wrote in 2009 for the Cato Institute where he said that “freedom and democracy are no longer compatible.”

Theil is a modern-day eugenicist who has invested in startups like Orchid, which allows parents to screen IVF embryos for “polygenic scores” to select for perceived health or intelligence. He is also a key figure in the racist pronatalist movement, which encourages “genetically superior” individuals to have many children to “save civilization.” And has funded “thinkers” from platforms like Quillette or the Stanford Review who have hosted discussions on IQ, genetics, and the widely debunked and discredited field of “race science.”

Epstein himself was disgusted by programs aimed at health and alleviating hunger and starvation in the global south. He was known for discussing these topics at dinner parties and salons with academics and intellectuals. Which calls into question why so many seemed so enthralled by him, from prominent figures like Richard Dawkins to Noam Chomsky.

The Epstein Files should serve as a reminder that most of the ruling class views humanity as a problem to be solved. As both a resource and a liability. And they, alone, intend to solve it without the encumbrance of democratic norms and institutions.

This class has no problem with genocide, with many of them viewing it as a real estate development opportunity. Most have no qualms with cutting funds or research for diseases that disproportionately impact the impoverished of the world. Many support criminalizing the unhoused and under-waged. And all of them benefit directly from the current economic scheme which extorts and exploits working people through exorbitant debt and slave-wages.

In short, we are nothing to them beyond our ability to increase their wealth and privilege.

Navigating Trauma at the End of Illusions

Leave a reply

These past few years have been a reckoning on a global scale. From the genocide in Gaza to the rise of brutal fascist regimes to the revelations in the Epstein files, we are all bearing witness to the festering moral rot of the ruling class and the societal decomposition it has caused.

Our own governments supported and funded a genocide that they told us wasn’t happening, even though we saw it with our own eyes. We saw them lie and obfuscate and smear those who spoke out and contort themselves into the most grotesque spectacle to make excuses for blowing children to pieces, burying families under rubble, burning them alive in their makeshift tents, erasing entire bloodlines, shooting toddlers in the neck, torturing doctors and nurses, murdering journalists, teachers, poets and artists, leveling hospitals, schools, universities and shelters. We saw them run cover for the complete destruction of a society. And then draw up blueprints for a luxury, seaside resort over the mass graves.

We have seen the ascendency of a cruel, despotic narcissist in the most powerful and ruthless empire on the planet. A sadistic rapist, conman and gangster. One whose entire parlance is mendacity. One whose own body is a suppurating blob of Big Mac grease with bronzer slathered over its decay. One who has inspired grifters who turn a profit from sycophancy and a mob who delight in ignorance and humiliation and terror. Who have no problem with shooting women in the face or men beaten on the ground.

We have seen a billionaire class obsessed with living forever while condemning everyone else to a scorched earth. Who revel in demolishing the modest safety nets that keep people from absolute poverty. Who think democracy is quaint, but useless. And who use mass surveillance, usury and AI to suppress and distract us.

Now we are getting a glimpse into the nefarious machinations of the elite. A shadowy and sinister world of the most wealthy and powerful men, where human decency is a punchline. A world that uses sex as a bludgeon and treats the most vulnerable among us as objects to be used and discarded. And all the while we are seeing it, we are being gaslit again. Told that the world wants to “move on.”

Of course, none of this is new. Human history is littered with casual cruelties, unprovoked injuries, and banal evil. This world sits on top of a mountain of murdered corpses. The difference now is that the living biosphere, the one we all depend upon, is in the crosshairs. And the scope of brutality has expanded beyond the colonized or enslaved or racialized or otherized or dehumanized to include us all.

We have been integrated into the machinery of our own collective demise. Shoveling coal into a machine intent on our destruction for the profit of a few. And conditioned to see it all as necessary. As “progress.” If you are feeling overwhelmed or lost or shattered these days, you are not the abnormal one. You are grieving a world of illusion as it crashes to the ground.

Trauma can be a catalyst for change, but it can also be a drug. It creates bonds which can be regenerative, or ones which mire us in despair. Either way, it is unavoidable. Those who try to skirt its implications aren’t “the lucky ones.” They are like the ones who tell you to “stay put” in a building that is aflame. They aren’t saving you, they are choosing normalcy bias over urgency.

The trauma we are feeling is real. It is raw. It is unforgiving. But it is also a rejoinder to lived experience. It lives under our skin and its grammar is sorrow and confusion and rage. When we face it with integrity, we can eventually let the illusions go. It doesn’t mean the pain will be forgotten. But it can become the currency needed to unlock a door for our escape.

The rulers of this world have shown us who they are. Perhaps it is time we show them who we are.

Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ is a Glimpse into the World of Jeffrey Epstein

Leave a reply

When I first saw Stanley Kubrick’s movie ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ over 20 years ago, I was mesmerized. The film has a kind of dream/nightmare quality to it. A sense that you are seeing everything and nothing at the same time. And that you may not be understanding what it all means but knowing, on some level, that you do. This would be Kubrick’s last film. He died only days after the first screening.

Over the years, it has been used to peddle some unhinged conspiracy theories which attempted to use its imagery as proof of adrenochrome-guzzling elites hiding their dungeons in the basements of DC pizza parlours.

It is sad that it was demeaned in this way, because now, with the Epstein revelations, Kubrick’s dark film offers a way of grappling with the machinations of the wealthy and powerful in a far more nuanced and realistic manner.

The movie isn’t without its problems. Some of the scenes appear a bit jejune. And Kubrick himself is a problematic man, with legitimate criticism for his own misogyny, abuses and sexism.

But aside from these very serious concerns, it is a masterpiece. The imagery that is used not only speaks to the masks we all wear in society at different times and in different places, but the impunity and privileged separation that the ruling class enjoy in this world.

Kubrick didn’t inject the supernatural into the film, although some of the rituals might seem that they lean that way. This wasn’t a movie about satanic possession. There were no demonic forces or evil ghosts lurking about.

The sinister came from a particular protected class in society. It came from human beings who possess an unprecedented amount of power over society, and who delight in exerting that power over the most vulnerable and impoverished. It came from a portion of society who are untouchable, both in law as in culture. It came from men. Powerful and wealthy men.

‘Eyes Wide Shut’ wasn’t a warning about Jeffrey Epstein, or Donald Trump, or Bill Clinton, or Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. It was a glimpse into the mirror of our society. It focuses on the rich, but it is really about all of us.

It is about men and women, boys and girls. It is about the messaging and conditioning boys get from an early age about how to see girls. And it is about how class insulates. How it divides principles and ethics along hereditary, racial, gender and monetary lines. How it operates within circles and networks most of us have no concept of.

‘Eyes Wide Shut’ is one of the most unflinching portrayals of our situation than any other work of art. And it is because of this, that it has been lampooned, mocked, abused for conspiracy theories and warped into some of the most convoluted mental pretzels of our age.

On Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Epstein, the Red Flags I Chose to Ignore

Leave a reply

The new revelations about the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Noam Chomsky are far more disappointing and loathsome than previously understood.

Chomsky did not simply have some academic connection with Epstein, he was advising this serial abuser on how to deal with accusations and the press. Chomsky reduced these allegations to “hysteria.” He sides with Epstein over his victims. And that is sadly telling.

I met Chomsky at a lecture years ago and I have read his books. And they were very valuable in changing my worldview and understanding of capitalism, propaganda and imperialism. But I am beginning to realize something that I probably buried a long time ago in regard to Chomsky and other academics like him. Mostly white men. The red flags I chose to ignore.

I have noticed that there is a sort of detached comfort among too many academics when it comes to geopolitics. A way of intellectualizing and compartmentalizing suffering and cruelty, so that empathy can be dispatched, but only for those that align with ones worldview. In Chomsky’s case and others, victims of the American empire’s adversaries simply don’t count as much.

Liberal Zionism Always Ends Up Defending Zionism

1 Reply

Batya Ungar-Sargon used to write about the working class and colonialism. She identified as progressive. But now, she is a columnist at The Free Press, the sham media outlet founded by journalist flunky Bari Weiss, who has since moved on to destroy what was left of CBS News.

Here, she sullies the legacy of Anne Frank and every other victim of the Holocaust by denigrating immigrants.

Of course, Ungar-Sargon is wrong. Jews in Germany and the occupied nations of the Reich were systematically stripped of their citizenship. They were deliberately made stateless.

Furthermore, they were routinely labeled criminals and terrorists. Schools taught children that they were not to be trusted. They were demonized and dehumanized so that they could be easily scapegoated, deported and most often exterminated.

The inability to see the universal lesson of the Holocaust as a denunciation of all human rights violations, atrocities and genocides is the problem of liberal Zionism and its inevitable trajectory toward the far-right and fascism.

The Danger of Viewing the Epstein Files through the Lens of Puritanism

Leave a reply

As scores of people pore over the newly released, and heavily redacted, Epstein files, it is worth examining one very American phenomenon. While the files contain truly monstrous allegations and photos, they also contain things which are not criminal or unethical, but which are all too often lumped in with all of the awful things. And this is the legacy of American puritanism.

None of this is to excuse the crimes of the ruling class, which are copious. And it is not to downplay any of the allegations from the victims. What I have seen so far is absolutely horrifying. But I have also seen an all too typical response among many Americans to its content which has more to do with personal moral standards than any legal wrongdoing. And this bias can create conditions which have been traditionally used as a bludgeon against women and minorities, such as racialized communities, transgender, queer and sex workers.

So, let’s separate the criminal from the salacious. The criminal should be obvious. Sexual abuse of minors, human trafficking, rape are all things that should be unequivocally condemned. But there are other things which are not. Kink, fetishes, masturbation, orgies, adult pornography. These things are not illegal in the US. At least, not yet. They are merely different features of human sexuality and preference. And are perfectly healthy, so long as they are between consenting adults. The reason this is so important is because historically, the latter has been used to oppress, persecute and discriminate against marginalized communities.

Puritanism in America has a persistent, pernicious and cruel legacy. And it stemmed from settler-colonial white men who used religion as a means of protecting their power and stealing land and property. While damning women and queer people for their supposed “sins,” these men were able to commit heinous atrocities which were often either overlooked by judicial bodies or made completely legal for them.

And it extended out toward racialized others. Indigenous societies, which had a long history of gender diversity, were cast as savages. Black men were stereotyped as being sexual predators, a legacy which continues to this day. Black women were often portrayed as sexually promiscuous, as a way of pitting them against supposedly “pure” white women.

And women, as a whole, have been among the most abused by puritanical mores. The infamous Witch Trials in New England did not merely pertain to some accusation of satanic possession. They had more to do with accusing women of “unnatural” sexual relations or for exerting control over their own bodies. And this was most often done to provide cover for stealing the land of unwed or widowed women. We can see contemporary shades of this dark chapter whenever there is a satanic or sex panic in society.

The crimes of the wealthy and powerful men, and some women, in the Epstein Files are indeed monstrous. But it is ironic that they are part of a political system that routinely demonizes transgender people, drag queens, non-binary and sex workers for their identity or choices, while they participate in the most atrocious and abusive behavior toward the most defenseless among us.

It is important to see this distinction as more and more files are revealed. And to understand the power dynamic at play. This is about nonconsensual dominance by people who have no concern for the welfare of their victims. It is about humiliation and exploitation of the most vulnerable human beings in society by the ruling class. But if they are not seen through this lens, there is a very real danger that the ghosts of puritanism will sully their meaning. And if that happens, they can be easily weaponized against people who had nothing to do with these crimes whatsoever.

The Takeover of TikTok was Never About China

Leave a reply

Despite what American politicians and some media talking heads claimed, the takeover of TikTok was never about China, or national security, or protecting data. And now that ownership has been transferred to pro-Trump and pro-Israel billionaires, it is not only being heavily censored, it is collecting far more data on its users than before.

The usual reasons for this are still true. Most data collection is for marketing. But why does TikTok need to know about your immigration status? Or your ethnic identity? Or your sexual orientation? We know that the Department of Homeland Security and other US agencies routinely harvest information from this kind of data collection.

Other questions have come up as well. Why is TikTok censoring the word “Epstein” and “ICE?” Why does the word “Israel” come up in virtually every search? The reasons for the latter become apparent when one listens to the new owners who have stated quite clearly that certain words, such as “Zionist,” will be considered “dirty” unless it is coming from someone who is a proud one. This isn’t about confronting and condemning antisemitism, especially since many Jews identify as anti-Zionist. It is about banning any interrogation of a political ideology which has resulted in the genocide in Gaza.

Some Democrats are saying that TikTok should be investigated, such as Gavin Newsom. But Newsom has always supported these kinds of draconian surveillance tactics. He signed the “Digital Age Assurance Act” which is wildly pro-censorship in the name of supposedly “protecting children.” So, his objections now are merely political theatre and it is only in reference to Trump. He wants to be able to keep up his completely useless meme war with him without providing any meaningful challenge to his fascism. And he doesn’t care one bit if Palestinian content is banned.

With all the bluster about China and their censorship of political speech, surveillance and data collection, a differentiating factor between it and the United States is that China does this largely to benefit its people. The US does not. This is not an excuse for authoritarianism, but it is a striking contrast between the two nations.

As TikTok becomes a free speech wasteland, other apps are rising. UpScrolled has seen a sharp rise in users. But it is based in Australia, which does not have the best record in online free speech either. Still, it is a far better alternative.

The hard truth is that the ruling, billionaire class feels like they are losing control of the narrative. Of “acceptable debate and dialogue.” They use terms like “civil discourse” as a cudgel against dissent and criticism. In this way, they never have to be interrogated for their role in atrocities, political repression and the global dismantling of democracy.

This is why they are busy buying up news outlets and social media platforms. And they do not care one bit if they drive these mediums into the ground, so long as they hold on to their wealth and every lever of power.

Empathy is NOT in Hillary Clinton’s Vocabulary

Leave a reply

It’s stunning to see ghouls like Hillary Clinton resurface to pontificate about empathy.

This is the same person who defended a rightwing coup in Honduras in 2009 and legitimized its government. Since then, Honduras has seen a dramatic increase in violence against activists, journalists, and the LGBTQ community.

This is the same person who profited from a shady and weak charity project in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake via her and her husband’s Clinton Foundation. And who opposed minimum wage for Haitian workers.

This is the same person who was a primary architect of the U.S.-led NATO intervention in Libya in 2011, laughing about the murder of its leader. A military assault which plunged the country into misery and chaos and made it the biggest hub of the modern-day slave trade in the world.

This is the same person who recently claimed that young people’s opposition to the genocide in Gaza was due to social media “propaganda” from China and “made-up” videos. Who argued against a ceasefire, even as tens of thousands of civilians, including tens of thousands of children, were being systematically massacred by Israel. And who continues to support military aid to Israel and has refused to acknowledge that it is committing genocide, despite the vast majority of genocide scholars saying that it is.

Hillary Clinton’s legacy is forever stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of civilians, from Iraq to Afghanistan to Honduras to Haiti to Libya to Gaza and beyond. That she, of all people, dares to preach about empathy is not merely ironic, it is obscene.

One More Step Toward a Full-Fledged Police State

Leave a reply

On Wednesday, the FBI raided the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in Union City, Georgia. It was carried out because of unsubstantiated claims by Trump of widespread fraud in the 2020 election in Georgia. These claims were repeatedly rejected by the courts. But facts do not count under this regime.

With Trump’s ratings tanking and the regime under increasing condemnation for its brutality at home and belligerent recklessness abroad, the regime is feeling the pinch. They know they only have a small window of opportunity to carry out their plans.

And with a Supreme Court which rubberstamps virtually every executive action and a weak and ineffectual opposition in the Democratic Party, which seems more concern with optics and in posting memes, the regime understands it still has its hands on the levers of power.

What is clear is that this is one more step in the solidification of the United States as a full-fledged police state. Elections, which are more about show in a country where money dictates policy, are still important, especially on the local level.

But when an authoritarian and openly fascist government casts widespread doubt on the legitimacy of the voting process and intimidates minorities and anyone they deem a threat, the impact on democratic integrity is nothing less than catastrophic.
