Media Pretending This Isn't Real | Ryan Grim | TMR

Drop Site News reported that the Israeli government installed and maintained a sophisticated security system in Jeffrey Epstein's New York apartment. This included drilling holes, setting up a hotline to the Israeli consulate, conducting background checks on staff, and requiring Israeli government clearance for all guests. The stated reason was that former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak frequently stayed there, leading the Israeli government to treat it as a de facto residence for a former head of state.

The report by Ryan Grim and Mortaza Hussein for Drop Site News details these security measures and their approval by Netanyahu's administration in 2016-2017.

Despite the Israeli government's direct involvement in securing Epstein's property, Prime Minister Netanyahu publicly argued that Epstein had no links to Israel. His reasoning was that Epstein's close relationship with Ehud Barak proved a lack of Israeli ties, as Netanyahu characterized Barak as an 'anti-Zionist radical' attempting to overthrow the Israeli government. This creates a clear contradiction, highlighting a political maneuver to distance Israel from the scandal.

Netanyahu's public statements framing Barak as an 'anti-Zionist radical' to dismiss Epstein's Israeli connections, contrasted with the security system installation.

In a recorded conversation with Epstein and Larry Summers, Ehud Barak discussed Israel's demographic challenges. He suggested that if the government, rather than rabbinical authorities, controlled who could be Jewish, they could simplify the conversion process for non-Jewish Russians and Eastern Europeans. Barak believed these individuals would 'rather be Jewish than Russian' to live in a first-world country, thereby boosting the Jewish population to counter Arabs and 'Browner Jews' within Israel.

Mainstream media outlets, such as Morning Joe, have focused on Jeffrey Epstein's alleged ties to Russian intelligence. However, this coverage often downplays or omits the extensive and documented connections to Israeli intelligence. For instance, while Politico reported on Epstein creating a back channel for Syrian Civil War negotiations with Russia, it failed to mention that he did so on behalf of Israel, with Ehud Barak's involvement.

A 'Board of Peace' meeting, led by Jared Kushner, is described as a thinly disguised effort to colonize the Gaza Strip. The plan involves building casinos and hotels over the bodies of dead Palestinians, with FIFA pledging funds for soccer facilities and a 5,000-person military base. This initiative is seen as an 'evidence destruction operation' given the dramatically undercounted death toll and aims to neuter the authority of the United Nations, a process initiated by the Biden administration's attacks on UNRWA.

The United States continues to conduct military strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, resulting in civilian deaths. The original legal justification for these strikes centered on targeting a 'terrorist organization' led by Nicolas Maduro, which supposedly funneled drug profits to wage war against the US. However, this rationale has 'unraveled' since the Trump administration (and now Biden) recognized Deli Rodriguez, not Maduro, as the legitimate ruler of Venezuela, thereby eliminating the 'terrorist organization' premise. These strikes also lack authorization under the 2001/2002 AUMFs, which are geographically limited to the Middle East.

Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky withdrew her endorsement of Donna Miller in Illinois's second congressional district due to Miller accepting money from AIPAC. This is highlighted as a 'seismic moment' because AIPAC uses 'dark money' super PACs with innocuous names like 'Elect Chicago Women' to conceal its funding. These PACs spend millions, with donors often maxing out to multiple candidates across the political spectrum (e.g., Josh Gottheimer, Steve Scalise), indicating a focus on Israeli policy rather than party affiliation, and attempting to hide their identity until after elections.
