He literally trained him as an agent of Mossad. Hopefully this page doesn’t remove this comment for “antisemitism” again. For the record Israel is a country not a religion. Here is an article about Ehid training Epstein as an agent https://nordictimes.com/world/new-fbi-documents-jeffrey-epstein-trained-as-spy-under-ehud-barak-for-israeli-mossad/

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

lemmy.world loves censorship in general, would advise moving to a more relaxed instance.
No surprises on him being an agent too
Yeah, but if the post is on lemmy.world, even by someone from another instance, they will just ban that user from that community.
The lemmy.world mods were totally happily stomping on the narrative that Biden was directly enabling the Palestinian Genocide. It took until Trump was elected for them to start quietly backing off from an enforced naivete they were previously happy to maintain a "blue maga" response to where any criticism of Biden meant you were a Russian bot or something.
If Biden was elected again we would still be fighting this battle against empty neoliberal centrists dismissing evidence of the genocide as a distraction/character assassination done to benefit Republicans.
I think this really points to the fact they are very pro Israel more than anything
As a mod of a huge community, I cannot tell you how often someone said “Jews did x,” then called it censorship when we deleted it. If you criticize Israel, you’re fine. If you says “Jews,” but mean “Israel,” you’re probably not.
Meanwhile, we have lively discussions behind the scenes to prevent censorship. Users don’t really care though, they just want to complain and assume every mod action is an attack on users.
The jeffws did it
Users do care, but it’s obviously judged from actions alone - we don’t know what discussions happen behind the scenes. When I noticed mods behaving as if it was /r/worldnews, that’s when I switched.
Epstein is now widely acknowledged, even by one of his own friends and a current Trump official, as having used blackmail against powerful people — or, in the words of the New York Times, “keeping notes on some of his contacts” and “revel[ing] in claiming to know his friends’ secrets” and how they “might empower him.”
😂 God the NYT is such trash.
The NYT is a honeytrap for liberals who can't admit they are conservatives that feeds its victims whatever narrative the 1% desire, which in this case is sweeping the Epstein files underneath the rug and desperately ignoring the massive role of Israel in this.
liberals? I was being pressured to read it at a conservative college. i never viewed it as a "liberal" newspaper (just a murdoch one) but i see things through a skewed lens
Completely random that one of the owners of the NYT has a house in stolen Palestinian land.
I think the NYT has always just been a mouthpiece for the elite. It has a class position much more than it has a political position.
As the US ruling class gives itself over to it's own unhinged stupidity, so goes the NYT.
The NYT is just reporting what’s ‘fit to print’. Unless there’s verified proof of actual blackmail this description seems apt. Saying you have information on people and you may use it is not blackmail, as that would require a direct request.
They're describing blackmail, they're just too cowardly to name what they've described.
If someone has notes on the secrets of powerful people and claims to use those secrets to empower themself, that person is engaging in blackmail.
If I say I have notes on powerful people and say that empowers me, that’s bragging. Not blackmail, because those people might not even know. If I were to say it to those powerful people, it could be perceived as threatening. But it’s not blackmail, as I don’t demand anything. If I were to use those notes to get something done: that’s blackmail.
So, they might try to cover it up by saying he was "spying" on them. This might or might not be true. Did he force them to do all these things they did? No? Then this just makes it look like "yeah, I did some things that are illegal/perverted/I don't like to be public/..., but it wasn't my fault but the fault of the guy who uncovered it!"
Soooo, anyone take bets that Ehud Barak is a child rapist?
None of this makes sense.
Epstein was a Mossad agent who was blackmailing politicians with trafficked children. How does that not make sense? https://nordictimes.com/world/new-fbi-documents-jeffrey-epstein-trained-as-spy-under-ehud-barak-for-israeli-mossad/
