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.

I'm just sick of and was responding to the tendency for people to conflate jews with zionists -- which is very intentional on the part of zionists so they can use "antisemitism" as an excuse to silence and punish those who oppose them.

I'm absolutely in agreement with you. I'm not sure exactly who the puppet is, but I know the problem is rampant capitalism and the disparity of wealth concentrating power among the ruling class.

I just don't want people to think that because I am Jewish I must be a zionist or that "jews run the world" as the user I was responding to said. They are separate things and I don't believe anyone has a divine right to land and I'm very much not part of the ruling class. It's not jews that run the world, it's the absurdly wealthy, and there's a lot of zionists among them because it, just like white supremacy, is a tool of capitalism and cannot be separated from it, hence why I said "Zs".

Some of us non-Jews have been fighting for that distinction: the "Not in Our Name" Jews ABSOLUTELY prove that Netanyahu's "Israel" isn't identical with Jews.

& .. I hope that the real Jews understand the warnings put in Jeremiah & Isaiah about what happens when "Israel" turns against the Jewish G-D: it gets torched.

https://www.frametheglobenews.com/p/is-israel-the-bankrupt-colony?triedRedirect=true

That is evidence that Netanyahu's days are numbered.

In my view, what Hamas did was consciously .. incompetent, but unconsciously was brilliant, if nihilist:

All they had to do was sacrifice Palestine & Palestinians, & get Netanyahu to take the bait, & then .. "Israel" would eradicate its-own "deterrent" from the region, by making the region not care what "Israel" did to them: annihilating "Israel" had to happen at any cost.

It was a book on kenjutsu which explained the concept:

IF all one's martial-arts training presumed that the opponent would block one's strikes, to protect their life ..

THEN one will automatically strike at them, to force them into blocking, as a means of breaking-off their attack of oneself, see?

BUT .. if THIS opponent doesn't even care if they live, & the don't divert from attacking to block, to protect themselves.. then both of you die, guaranteed.

IOW, without "deterrent", then the whole rules-of-the-game are different.

& Netanyahu's "Israel" is eradicating "deterrent" from the relationship between Netanyahu's "Israel" & the surrounding-region, as fast as they can.

Which means that .. its annihilation is building in probability.


All this to say, if you've loved-ones who're in Netanyahu's "Israel", please invest in getting them out, before that annihilation happens, for your & their sakes.

I'd rather good-people of all religions NOT be the ones butchered in the next stage of our world's process, when rampaging "conquering" is all that's happening.

& that means the good people need to "get off the tracks", & then when those tracks have been destroyed, get off the next tracks which will then be emerging, & keep agilely doing this until this whole century is done.

The context this-century is, is kinda unique: karma^3.

It's all coming-home to "roost" on us, now.

Oh, & hopefully this may help you re some Christians, some day:

their Gospel of John kept calling their root-guru benJoseph "rabbi"/"Rabbi" ( no idea if that should be capitalized, sorry ), while attacking the "Jews".

I'm putting falsifying-quotes on the term:

he didn't have the option, back then, because they hadn't been invented yet.

John's identifying of both-sides, was attacking ONLY false-Jews, NOT real Jews.

Christianity ignored that, for millenia.

Even though their later book, Rev, made that distinction absolutely-explicit.

It is Christiandom's ignoring of John's using of both terms, that both-terms use which was showing the real intent.

Ideologues won't know that evidence, but if you're ever discussing it with real Christians, they may well see that evidence, in their own bible, & understand.

Which would make them more Jews' allies, see?

& if they're using biblegateway for their bibles, ask them to try CJB ( using AMP & EXB for decrypting Jewishisms, & also for sometimes evading over-interpretation.. usually one has to go to CJB to get out from overinterpretation, but sometimes it's the other-way-around ), to get a cleaner view..

Anyways, do well, & yes, this actually is the "End Times" that Judaism ( Daniel 7+, some Isaiah, etc, ) has been talking about for millenia, & seeing-through all the culturally-bound/limited truths, to the underlying-universal Truths, is more required now, than it ever has been, before, since the FLOOD when the Laurentide Ice-Sheet melted into the North Atlantic, 6 "Days as a 1000 years" & 6 "Nights as a 1000 years" ago.

Agility & proactivity both are required, now.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen,

It's all good, I'm totally with you, agree with everything you wrote. Sorry for snapping at you, I am also very frustrated with the constant conflation of zionism/Israel with Jewish people, and the whole "Israel controls the US!!!" stuff is so frustrating because it's so obvious that they're both just aligned sharing a common goal it barely matters which is in control of the other really, they're both terrible, doing terrible things, in support of each other.

100% and no worries I completely understand the frustration around misinformation in today's political climate and generally online. No harm done. Keep fighting the good fight.
