>>2376287 >>2377064big funky ass choochie
and it needs to be gushed
>>2377045Cuckran and the Cuckatollah will cuck once again
As long as they're allowed to say death to Israel to keep their idiot proles on the plantation they're happy
>>2377053I mean yeah
We have a foot in every region and every continent, and the places we don't are the ones we always label as our enemies
>>2377164Nope.
Marxism-Leninism=Stalinism.
Trotsky wasn't a Stalinist
>>2377158It is a crime against humanity. To say zionism is not a crime makes you a zionist
>>2377156He should already have started eliminating the zionists. He should be calling for the cessation of operation of new york city zionist general consulate. But he isnt doing shit because he is a zionist.
>>2377167>To say zionism is not a crime makes you a zionisti wasn't the anon saying that retard but i suspect you know that and you're playing dumb on purpose
also it's literally not illegal even if it should be. good job confusing is/ought under class society stupid fuck
>>2377180like if rykov, zionev, trotsky, bukharin, rykov and the forces they represented united and dealt with stalin early in 1921-1923, then stalin never would have kept his general secretary position.
But instead they went on to each other throats while stalin and his group just sided with one of them to purge another
its honestly fucking funny
>>2377197all three of them are illegal doe, just one is impossible to make illegal whereas the other two are possible because no one cares enough to stop it
>>2377195even if he wanted to he couldn't
>>2377159The first thing Lenin did was destroyed the workers unions and the councils and all that. Along with betraying the anarchists.
The bolsheviks basically came in after the revolution had begun, took control of the State and fucked everything up.
>>2377205you can say that and perhaps the ussr could have lived on if kruschev didnt exist. Im just pointing out that stalin only won because his opponents were all fucking retarded.
They could have united as one and removed stalin back in 1921-1923. But instead they were busy fighting each other, while stalin and his group just went divide and conquer with them.
Now the oppositionts realized their mistake by 1929-1932. But by that point it was too late and well get great purged
>>2377263Anon, wake up, It's 2025. Ture has been dead for 30 years. :(
Also the soviet union fell, everything's fucked, we have a thing called the internet now look at your own risk.
>>2377294everyone in /leftybritpol/ is an absolute retard
usapol and britpol are cancer
>>2377274>Socialism is petty bourgeois. Communism is proletarianYou are a serf. Bitch, you live in Alsace. You are a peasant. You need to give your fuckin' lord the grain. Your fucking children, you've had 15 children. You've never taken a bath. You've literally never. washed. your. penis. You've never used toilet paper. Motherfucker, you have worms. You are dying. You've had 40 children, 3 of them are alive. 2 of them are child soldiers in the Duke's army.
Bitch, the greatest thing you can hope for is to die at the old age of 36. You fucking can't read. You don't know what TV is. If you were transported into today, you would be the worst gamer of all time. You don't know shit. You literally probably don't even know what the direction 'left' is. I'm sure some Medieval guy is gonna get mad at me for this, bitch I've been to the Renaissance Fair. I've eaten a large turkey wing, which the Juggalos call 'bitch beaters', which I think is problematic but a funny thing to call them.
Motherfucker, you gotta recognize where you are, and then you gotta get passed that. You gotta be unemotional. You can't sink into this hole. You live in the oubliette. Your job is to crawl up the ladder, motherfucker. You live in the HOLE. You're in the HOLE. You are a RAT. And the rat, when he's in the hole gets fucked. People only throw trash in the hole.
You need to eat a body. And you need to carry the plague. And you need to carry a plague around this whole world, that will change this whole fuckin world. And all your enemies will vomit black bile and will choke on blood and will grow boils and die. But only if you get together with your other RATS. And you come up with some kind of super plague, to fuckin end your enemies and…
End. This. Nightmare.
This woman was the Epstein before Epstein and her story line was the EXACT same
Deborah Jeane Palfrey (March 18, 1956 – May 1, 2008),[1] dubbed the D. C. Madam by the news media, operated Pamela Martin and Associates, an escort agency in Washington, D.C. Although she maintained that the company's services were legal, she was convicted on April 15, 2008, of racketeering, using the mail for illegal purposes,[1][2] and money laundering.[2] Slightly over two weeks later, facing a prison sentence of five or six years, she was found hanged. Autopsy results and the final police investigative report concluded that her death was a suicide.[1][3][4][5]
D.C. Madam scandal
edit
In June 2004, the United States Postal Inspection Service and Internal Revenue Service began an investigation into an illegal prostitution business being run in Washington, D.C.[9] During the course of the investigation, Palfrey was identified as the operator of the prostitution ring.[9] In October 2006, agents with the United States Postal Inspection Service posed as a couple who were interested in buying Palfrey's home as a means of accessing her property without a warrant.[10][9] Agents subsequently froze bank accounts worth over US$500,000, and seized papers relating to money laundering and prostitution charges.[9][11]
As her case proceeded, it was revealed that Palfrey's escorts charged as much as $300 per hour, and many have had professional careers. Palfrey continued to reside in California, and cleared some US $2 million over 13 years in operation.[6] Palfrey appeared on ABC's 20/20 as part of an investigative report on May 4, 2007.[12]
In response to Palfrey's statement that she had 10,000 to 15,000 phone numbers of clients, several clients' lawyers contacted Palfrey to see whether accommodations could be made to keep their identities private.[13] Ultimately, ABC News, after going through what was described as 46 pounds (21 kg) of phone records, decided that none of the potential clients[14] were sufficiently "newsworthy" to bother mentioning.[15]
On July 9, 2007, Senator David Vitter (R-LA) acknowledged that he had been a customer of her escort service.[16]
Thirteen former escorts and three former clients testified at her trial.[17][18][19]
However, ABC News only published two of the names they had identified, men who were already known to have been clients of Palfrey — Randall L. Tobias, a State Department official, and Harlan K. Ullman, a Defense Department official.[20][21][22][23][24] Journalist Neil A. Lewis reported, in The New York Times, that ABC would not publicize any new names.[20]
The witnesses were compelled to testify, after being granted immunity from prosecution. In May 2007 a team at ABC News reported on their efforts to determine the identities of Palfrey's clients from her phone records.[25] They reported how many of Palfrey's clients phoned from hotel rooms to obfuscate their identities. They found some clients had exaggerated their importance-one who had bragged about his role in evacuating colleagues from the White House on 9/11 turned out to merely work near The White House.
On April 15, 2008, a jury found Palfrey guilty of money laundering, using the mail for illegal purposes, and racketeering.[1][2] Palfrey believed that contrary to the U.S. Attorney's Office lower estimate, she might spend six or seven years behind bars.[26] She faced a maximum of 55 years in prison.[27]
On May 1, 2008, roughly two weeks following her April 15 conviction, Palfrey was found hanging in a storage shed outside her mother's mobile home in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Police found handwritten suicide notes in the bedroom where she was staying, dated a week before her death. The autopsy and the final police investigation concluded her death was a suicide.[3][5][28]
Palfrey's death resulted in her conviction being vacated.[29]
Suicide notes
edit
Palfrey's two handwritten notes were released to the public. In one of them, she wrote to her sister, "You must comprehend there was no way out, I.E. 'exit strategy,' for me other than the one I have chosen here." In another, she described her predicament as a "modern-day lynching". She said she feared that, at the end of serving her sentence, she would be "in my late 50s a broken, penniless and very much alone woman".[28][30]
Speculation surrounding her death
edit
The New York Times' Patrick J. Lyons wrote on the Times' blog, The Lede, that some on the Internet were skeptical that her death was a suicide.[31] After investigating the crime scene, however, police found "no new evidence [that] would indicate anything other than suicide by hanging," and a police investigative report released six months later concluded that her death had been a suicide.[3][5] The police stated that Palfrey's family believed the notes were written by Palfrey.[32][33]
In early 2007, Palfrey learned of the death, apparently through suicide by hanging, of Brandi Britton, one of her former escort service employees.[34] Palfrey reacted to this news by saying, "I guess I'm made of something that Brandy Britton wasn't made of." According to her former attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, she even took the extraordinary step of writing directly to the prosecutor, promising to show more resolve than Britton.[35]
Journalist Dan Moldea, who was working with Palfrey on a book, recalled that in a 2007 conversation, Palfrey told him, "I am not going back to prison. I will commit suicide first."[26] He said her previous prison experience had traumatized her and she felt she couldn't do it again.[1][34]
On July 9, 2007, Palfrey released the supposed entirety of her phone records for public viewing and downloading on the Internet in TIFF format though days prior to this her civil attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, had dispatched 54 CD-ROM copies to researchers, activists, and journalists.[citation needed]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborah_Jeane_Palfrey>>2377384Of course. I've been trying to get through to you strasserite morons for a long time that the only way to save the American Volk you all love so much is to destroy America. The American state stands in the way of any attempt to liberate it's people, and it always will. This is why the only way out is the revolutionary way out. America MUST be destroyed.
>>2377388You are still wrong. It is good and natural to hate America. America is the worst thing that has ever happened to the world. Most of its people are willing and enthusiastic collaborators. This is a fact that none of you are willing to admit but it is true none the less. The people have been systematically indoctrinated by the system to be reactionaries from birth, given an ideology that centers around the literal divine inspiration of the American system. Anything else is ruthlessly suppressed by big budget propaganda.
America cannot be saved or reformed. It must be destroyed.
https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/immigration/trump-farmers-charge-migrant/>Trump set to ‘put farmers in charge’ of migrant workers (NewsNation) — President Donald Trump has pledged to protect American farmers who rely on migrant workers to operate their farms, but until Thursday, details of how that would work remained limited.
>But at a rally in Iowa, Trump said that he would allow the farmers who hire migrants to take charge and allow the migrants working in the agricultural industry to remain in the country. The plan would not create a path to citizenship as some immigration advocates have called for, but would protect them from the possibility of being detained by ICE agents during workplace raids, Trump said.>“If a farmer has been with one of these people that worked so hard – they bend over all day, we don’t have too many people that can do that, but they work very hard, and they know him very well, and some of the farmers are literally, you know, they cry when they see this happen,” Trump said. “If a farmer is willing to vouch for these people, in some way … I think we’re going to have to just say that’s going to be good, right?”
<I warned you about [how anti-immigration rhetoric inevitably only helps the bourgeoisie further exploit immigrant labour], I told you dog! >>2377401I disagree with this. There is an external force which can threaten america. Its just it wont be enemy nations or shit. It will instead be the massive inhuman force of climate change, planetary overshoot, limits of growth and etc.
The internal crisis is guaranteed to happen at one point due to these factors. "mother nature" is gonna do some horrific things to america
>>2376974>Sex required in judaism<Also in christianity 1 Corinthians 7:3,4.Shmuley is right. Paul himself says it is better to be celibate. Marriage is only to prevent fornication, but one who can overcome temptation should be celibate because it is better.
From worst to best:
>Fornication>Marriage>Celibacy.1 Corinthians 7: 1
>It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 1 Corinthians 7: 6-9
>6 But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment. 7 For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.>8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; 9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. >>2377404> You can't wait until the literal apocalypse to organize.Its not that im waiting but know that the iceberg is right in front of us. Things are accelerating rapidly.
Hmm maybe you are right. Maybe we should try to force a internal crisis so to avoid the near incoming climate disaster.
>>2377405I dont want to agree with this but you are right…. " shits grim
>>2377413I like how this graph expects you to read slightly but not actually look at the data being displayed.

>>2377436>>2377438Nobody gives a fuck you fucking twitter freaks. If I had to say what I thought about Contra I'd be banned.
I was just literally confused by what you are sperging about.
>Here’s a simple explanation for someone with low reading comprehension:
<First statement:“Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for trafficking underage girls to no one.”
→ This person is saying something sarcastic. They’re pointing out that it seems strange Maxwell is in prison for trafficking girls, but we don’t hear much about who she trafficked them to. It sounds like they’re suggesting the justice system is ignoring the men who abused the girls.
<Reply:“People are really not familiar with the basic facts of the Epstein case. All the victims who testified at Maxwell’s trial said they were trafficked to Epstein himself, who abused them with Maxwell’s assistance.”
→ This person is correcting the first one. They’re saying:
“No, Maxwell didn’t traffic the girls to ‘no one.’ She trafficked them to Jeffrey Epstein. That’s who abused them. And she helped him.”
Like this is literally your explanation:
>>2377430Noo you would totally get what I am claiming she means if you understood it in the context of the "contrapoints cinematic universe."
>>2377447Apparently you do.

>>2377493https://www.timesofisrael.com/ehud-barak-met-with-jeffrey-epstein-dozens-of-times-flew-on-private-plane-report/>For Wednesday’s WSJ report, Barak said Epstein appears to have been “a terrible version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” describing a person who “seemed an intelligent, well-connected man with many interests, from science to geopolitics.”
>Barak said that over the years of meeting with Epstein at his various mansions, he “never participated in any party or any other ‘inappropriate’ event with him” and had “never met him with girls or minors, not even with adult women in the context of any inappropriate behavior.”
>The former premier said he first met Epstein in 2003 at an event attended by “American dignitaries” through the late Israeli president and statesman Shimon Peres. The two arranged to meet at a later time in New York. “I came to his house quite a few times with my wife,” Barak claimed, adding that he had met many “interesting people” at Epstein’s homes.
>One of those meetings between Epstein and Barak included Chomsky, to discuss “Israel’s policies with regard to Palestinian issues and the international arena,” Chomsky told the WSJ on Tuesday.
>Epstein’s calendar also featured other meetings with Barak, such as one that also included an executive at the consulting firm of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
>Both Chomsky and Botstein also defended their decision to continue meeting with Epstein after his first sex trafficking convictions, with Chomsky saying that Epstein’s prison time indicated a “clean slate” and Botstein invoking Bard’s history of supporting prison rehabilitation programs.Chomskers! Noooo!
I mean not everyone was doing pedophile shit with Jeffrey Epstein, but I think it is strongly a non-zero chance that some of them were.
>>2377496>Someone needs to figure this whole story out one day. This isn't normal.>>2377488or maybe:
> "there's no there there" We should trust the experts.
>Epstein was a criminal but the blackmail pedo rings is a folk tale for superstitious peasants.I wouldn't want to look like a silly bumpkin simpleton. To accuse all of these rich and powerful people of committing crimes with their close friend would be way above my station.
Thank you USA!

New Documents Reveal: U.S. Pouring Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in Military Aid Into Building IDF Airbases and Facilities in Israel
>The United States is building infrastructure to accommodate the Israel Air Force's new refueling aircraft and helicopters, as well as a new headquarters for the Israeli army's Shayetet 13 naval commando unit, and numerous other projects costing billions of shekels, according to official documents from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published online. All these projects are funded by U.S. military aid to Israel.
>A call for contractors to a conference originally scheduled for June but postponed due to the war with Iran revealed that the U.S. military aid construction program for Israel includes ongoing projects valued at more than $250 million, with future projects expected to exceed $1 billion.
>The program covers the construction of new facilities at various military bases, including clinics, naval piers, headquarters for different units and ammunition storage sites. It also involves upgrades to existing infrastructure, runway renovations and aircraft painting facilities.
>According to documents and presentations from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the initiative comprises roughly 20 separate projects with a combined price tag of $1.5 billion. The details of some projects, listed only under code names, remain undisclosed.
>Israel receives $3.8 billion annually in U.S. foreign aid under a memorandum of understanding signed with the Obama administration, covering the period from 2019 to 2028. The war in Gaza has triggered an unprecedented surge in supplemental assistance, and according to Brown University's Cost of War project, the United States had provided Israel with an additional $18 billion in arms by September 2024.
>In January of this year, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a special military aid package worth $26 billion, which included approximately $4 billion for interceptors for Israel's missile defense systems.
>>2377493The information we have is that Ehud Barak knew Jeffrey Epstein and entered his apartment. Is that evidence Barak and Epstein were in cahoots in a Mossad pedophile blackmail ring? Well, no. But again that sounds true, and people work from supposition that anyone who Epstein hung out with were also (possibly) engaged in sexual abuse, and it provides an explanation for behavior by elites that otherwise seems inexplicable. It's not a crazy supposition, I could believe it.
But that doesn't mean I accept it, because what if it's not true? There's just not a lot to go on these days about this story. But there are a lot of people who will think if Patel and Bondi says there's no evidence of that then that means they've been captured by the swamp, because they've chosen to believe it, because it confirms what they already believe, or a certain worldview about the fundamental nature of reality, and nothing can disprove it (even though they haven't proven it). We're in a kind of a bottomless metaphysical hole here, such that even if evidence came out that did not only implicate but prove that a bunch of powerful people engaged in sexual abuse with Epstein, it wouldn't be enough for people because Taylor Swift and Xi Jinping isn't on the list. That's religion.
>>2377495I think that's possible. Like that Prince Andrew guy.
One thing skeptics like to say is that it's hard to keep conspiracies a secret. An example of that is Biden's aides covering up his senility. They really did do that and then it completely blew up in their face. Like these people are incompetent. TrueAnon btw doesn't even talk about Epstein much either anymore because there's not much left to wring out of the story, and they started as a podcast covering the Epstein case.
>>2377498Yeah but like Contra was saying, Sarah Ransome said she was raped by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell aided him. She didn't claim, as far as I know, that anyone else raped her. She did claim that
she had tapes with Bill Clinton and Trump on them but never ponied up and recanted, telling the New Yorker that she invented the story to draw attention to Epstein's behavior and to scare him so he wouldn't harm her. "Oh but she WOULD say that…" (again, that's how this kind of cosmic thinking works).
>>2377500I don't trust the experts, I trust my own instincts and judgement. I don't always get it right. I also didn't call peasants "simpletons," I said "superstitious." If I called them simpletons, I would imply they're stupid, which I don't believe. If I call them superstitious, that's because they are, which reflects being peasants who cope with their anxiety and status in life through emotional comfort, like believing in God and blaming various scapegoats for their ills. "I'm not in control, fate and spirits are." Trust in Messiahs. They'll get rid of the Deep State.
But there are no Messiahs. There's no God. You can believe in these things or believe in yourself.
>>2377510>Yeah but like Contra was saying, Sarah Ransome said she was raped by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell aided him. She didn't claim, as far as I know, that anyone else raped her.

<Oh those crazy people believe X Y and Z crazy shit about the case, there fore I will go as far as I can to play "le rational skeptic."When occam's razor tells you there is a whole lot of shit about this case that is being covered up because of the people involved. Love the thumbnail PBS picked for vidrel btw.
>>2377515>We know that these sex tapes exist. I don't know that, honestly. We've got Ransome here saying
she had them, then saying she made up the story, then saying she recanted because Maxwell and "others" threatened her. First she said she made up the story in case they threatened her, then she recanted the story because they threatened her. I have to say something about that doesn't add up to me. Who are these "others?" Did she not ever have the tapes? How does she know the tapes exist? She says they exist and "people know they exist." None of them have shared this information with us, though.
>When occam's razor tells you there is a whole lot of shit about this caseOccam's Razor is "the simplest explanation is usually the best one." Epstein being a serial sexual predator and then him killing himself is a simpler explanation than big conspiracy.
Like the whole island thing is bizarre. We have a witness say she was held captive there and raped repeatedly and that there was a constant stream of girls being brought in.
So Epstein had a harem going on the island. Now the question we're supposed to be investigating is anyone else participate in illegal acts on the rape island with him? We know other people went to the island with him. It seems like Occam's Razor would tell you, yes, yes they did most likely. Maybe not every single person who went there, who knows, but Jeff seems like the guy who would want to share his illegal thrills with his friends. This is really the most probable conclusion. You really think he's greedy with the harem?
<MARTIN: You met Jeffrey Epstein through a woman who was paid to recruit you under this false promise that he could help get you into an elite design school in New York. And you didn't have any money at the time. You had moved there. You were really young - 20 or so. And this woman convinced you to go on a trip to Epstein's private island. At what point did you realize that you were in danger?
>RANSOME: There was never any mention at all during meeting my recruiter and Jeffrey of anything untoward. The only reason I went to the island - and this is what I need to make really clear - is because it was a girls weekend. It was a girls few days - holiday away. The first time I - you know - was the plane ride over there, when Jeffrey and another girl had, you know, erotic sex in front of me and when all the other girls who had invited me on this girls weekend pretended to be asleep. And that's where I started, like, getting really concerned.
<MARTIN: And you ended up second-guessing your own judgment - like, ignoring, probably, something in your gut?
>RANSOME: Well, absolutely. And, I mean, this was not OK. But everyone around me were acting as if it was OK. So it must be me. There must be something wrong with me. I mean, this is like a lamb being led to the slaughter. The second I got on the island - bearing in mind my passport's being taken away, and my phone's now being taken away as soon as I got there - it was a very peculiar sensation when I arrived because the whole energy changed. Everyone sort of turned quite cold. And now Jeffrey's asking for me to massage him. And everyone seems OK with this.
<MARTIN: You felt that way even when you were told to go into his quarters and he sexually assaulted you.
>RANSOME: After that, I just - that changed my life. I can't even begin to explain to you what that did. After Jeffrey raped me, that was it. He threatened if I ever went to the authorities, told my parents, told any friends, he would kill me and find my family and take them out. And I had nowhere to go. I was stuck on an island - no passport, no phone, couldn't phone anyone - so yeah.
<MARTIN: I want to just pause the conversation to remind our audience that we're speaking with Sarah Ransome, a survivor of prolonged sexual assault. And this conversation is not appropriate for all listeners.
<What was Ghislaine Maxwell's role in all of this?
>RANSOME: Ghislaine - she tortured me daily. I mean, she tortured me every time I saw her. She starved me. She forced me into Jeffrey's room to be raped.
<MARTIN: You're saying that she was essentially the operating officer. She was making this all happen.
>RANSOME: Well, of course. Jeffrey made it very clear by saying to me, you do not cross Ghislaine. You answer to Ghislaine. And you do exactly what she says. And Ghislaine was the enforcer.
<MARTIN: You ended up going back to Epstein's island several times. When you weren't there, you lived in an apartment that he paid for in New York and were ordered to have sex with him daily. Many will hear this conversation and say to themselves, why didn't you go to the police, the authorities, report them?
>RANSOME: OK. I'm really, really pleased that you asked me this. And I'd like to make it very clear. This was not transactional. Rape is rape. It doesn't matter if I was living in Jeffrey's apartment. No one has the right to rape me. I already had two prior escape attempts. There was one when I tried to swim off the island after I'd been raped three times and after Ghislaine had taken my food away. I was prepared to die swimming and trying to escape off that island that night. And there was another occasion when, you know, I didn't respond to Jeffrey. And I was walking along. And his car pulled up next to me. I was forced into his car, taken to his mansion and raped. He knew exactly where I was. It didn't matter where I was. It didn't matter where I went. He would always find me. I've been running from Jeffrey and Ghislaine pretty much until the day Jeffrey died. I was finally free of him.
Another thing about the coverup. Why did we never get a whole series of photos of the rape island from the Feds? They usually make these kind of images public. They released all the photos of Paddock's hotel room and other cases like that? Why have they nought released photos of what they found? Only thing we ever got on that is drone footage and photos from the press on boats.
>>2377516>I don't know that, honestly.The feds said they found tapes, then left them their unsecured, then when they came back and they were gone. This is what the feds said themselves, so, yes, we do know of the existence of tapes.

>FBI Special Agent Kelly Maguire testified in 2019 that during the raid of Epstein's residence, FBI agents found a safe with CDs, computer hard drives, money, jewelry and passports. During her testimony, Maguire said that FBI agents did not have a valid warrant to remove the evidence, so instead, they photographed them.

<Its roots can be traced, at least in part, to a paper published in 1996 by an Israeli thinktank, the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies. Entitled "A clean break: a new strategy for securing the realm", it was intended as a political blueprint for the incoming government of Binyamin Netanyahu. As the title indicates, it advised the right-wing Mr Netanyahu to make a complete break with the past by adopting a strategy "based on an entirely new intellectual foundation, one that restores strategic initiative and provides the nation the room to engage every possible energy on rebuilding Zionism …"
<Among other things, it suggested that the recently-signed Oslo accords might be dispensed with - "Israel has no obligations under the Oslo agreements if the PLO does not fulfil its obligations" - and that "alternatives to [Yasser] Arafat's base of power" could be cultivated. "Jordan has ideas on this," it added.
<It also urged Israel to abandon any thought of trading land for peace with the Arabs, which it described as "cultural, economic, political, diplomatic, and military retreat".
<"Our claim to the land - to which we have clung for hope for 2,000 years - is legitimate and noble," it continued. "Only the unconditional acceptance by Arabs of our rights, especially in their territorial dimension, 'peace for peace', is a solid basis for the future."
<The paper set out a plan by which Israel would "shape its strategic environment", beginning with the removal of Saddam Hussein and the installation of a Hashemite monarchy in Baghdad.
<With Saddam out of the way and Iraq thus brought under Jordanian Hashemite influence, Jordan and Turkey would form an axis along with Israel to weaken and "roll back" Syria. Jordan, it suggested, could also sort out Lebanon by "weaning" the Shia Muslim population away from Syria and Iran, and re-establishing their former ties with the Shia in the new Hashemite kingdom of Iraq. "Israel will not only contain its foes; it will transcend them", the paper concluded.
<To succeed, the paper stressed, Israel would have to win broad American support for these new policies - and it advised Mr Netanyahu to formulate them "in language familiar to the Americans by tapping into themes of American administrations during the cold war which apply well to Israel".
<At first glance, there's not much to distinguish the 1996 "Clean Break" paper from the outpourings of other right-wing and ultra-Zionist thinktanks … except for the names of its authors.
>The leader of the "prominent opinion makers" who wrote it was Richard Perle - now chairman of the Defence Policy Board at the Pentagon.
>Also among the eight-person team was Douglas Feith, a neo-conservative lawyer, who now holds one of the top four posts at the Pentagon as under-secretary of policy.
>Mr Feith has objected to most of the peace deals made by Israel over the years, and views the Middle East in the same good-versus-evil terms that he previously viewed the cold war. He regarded the Oslo peace process as nothing more than a unilateral withdrawal which "raises life-and-death issues for the Jewish state".
>Two other opinion-makers in the team were David Wurmser and his wife, Meyrav (see US thinktanks give lessons in foreign policy, August 19). Mrs Wurmser was co-founder of Memri, a Washington-based charity that distributes articles translated from Arabic newspapers portraying Arabs in a bad light. After working with Mr Perle at the American Enterprise Institute, David Wurmser is now at the State Department, as a special assistant to John Bolton, the under-secretary for arms control and international security.
>A fifth member of the team was James Colbert, of the Washington-based Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (Jinsa) - a bastion of neo-conservative hawkery whose advisory board was previously graced by Dick Cheney (now US vice-president), John Bolton and Douglas Feith.
>One of Jinsa's stated aims is "to inform the American defence and foreign affairs community about the important role Israel can and does play in bolstering democratic interests in the Mediterranean and the Middle East". In practice, a lot of its effort goes into sending retired American military brass on jaunts to Israel - after which many of them write suitably hawkish newspaper articles or letters to the editor.
>Jinsa's activities are examined in detail by Jason Vest in the September 2 issue of The Nation. The article notes some interesting business relationships between retired US military officers on Jinsa's board and American companies supplying weapons to Israel.
>With several of the "Clean Break" paper's authors now holding key positions in Washington, the plan for Israel to "transcend" its foes by reshaping the Middle East looks a good deal more achievable today than it did in 1996. Americans may even be persuaded to give up their lives to achieve it.
>The six-year-old plan for Israel's "strategic environment" remains more or less intact, though two extra skittles - Saudi Arabia and Iran - have joined Iraq, Syria and Lebanon on the hit list.
>Whatever members of the Iraqi opposition may think, the plan to replace Saddam Hussein with a Hashemite monarch - descendants of the Prophet Muhammad who rule Jordan - is also very much alive. Evidence of this was strengthened by the surprise arrival of Prince Hassan, former heir to the Jordanian throne, at a meeting of exiled Iraqi officers in London last July.
>The task of promoting Prince Hassan as Iraq's future king has fallen to Michael Rubin, who currently works at the American Enterprise Institute but will shortly take up a new job at the Pentagon, dealing with post-Saddam Iraq.
>One of the curious aspects of this neo-conservative intrigue is that so few people outside the United States and Israel take it seriously. Perhaps, like President Mubarak, they can't imagine that anyone who holds a powerful position in the United States could be quite so reckless.
>But nobody can accuse the neo-conservatives of concealing their intentions: they write about them constantly in American newspapers. Just two weeks ago, an article in the Washington Times by Tom Neumann, executive director of Jinsa, spelled out the plan in clear, cold terms:
<"Jordan will likely survive the coming war with US assistance, so will some of the sheikhdoms. The current Saudi regime will likely not.
<"The Iran dissident movement would be helped enormously by the demise of Saddam, and the Palestinians would have to know that the future lies with the West. Syria's Ba'athist dictatorship will likely fall unmourned, liberating Lebanon as well.
<"Israel and Turkey, the only current democracies in the region, will find themselves in a far better neighbourhood." Would anyone like to bet on that? >>2377526>The feds said they found tapesOkay, the feds didn't say that. They said they found CDs and a hard drive. Is there footage of Donald Trump having sex in those? I dunno. Nobody has produced it. There could be passwords or crypto keys or banking information in them. I don't know. Newsweek also sucks and the only people they quote saying the feds have tapes in the article is… Jack Posobiec, Buck Sexton and Juanita Broaderick on their Twitter feeds which the article decided to quote as evidence of "pressure" on the FBI. And then their guy who got appointed to the FBI a year later came out and said there's nothing there, so now what?
>>2377520>We know other people went to the island with him. It seems like Occam's Razor would tell you, yes, yes they did most likely. MaybeWe know Epstein flew girls out to the island and raped them (known fact). You're introducing more complexity and more assumptions – more moving parts – while Occam's Razor would say the more of that you do, the less likely it is to be true. Doesn't mean Occam's Razor is correct though, because maybe some of them did. But does it mean, I dunno, that Donald Trump and Stephen Hawking raped girls on the pedophile island? Well, no. Or an alternative explanation: there were a lot of people who did know about what Epstein was up to and looked the other way because they liked hanging out with him and flying on private jets. Seems pretty clear that Prince Andrew was in cahoots with Epstein.
>>2377534The real story here, ultimately, might be that rich and powerful people get away with stuff. People don't like to snitch on each other, especially when they're in the same social class, and people go "I didn't see anything" and because they're in the club and we're not. But Michael Tracey is right that there's a whole mystical dogma about Epstein. What if I told you that untold numbers of children were being trafficked under the auspices of an international cabal of Satan worshiping elites? And among their number was every mainstream politician and celebrity you've ever heard of? And that these members were so brazen as to constantly signal their allegiance in public using coded messaging?
And what if I told you that Donald Trump was the lone righteous man in Gomorrah?
That's right, fellow Patriots. I'm here to tell you about a moral narrative that helps explains away the fact that, despite a bunch of good, honest, hard-working people's dream president being in power and their party controlling three branches of government, their political rivals still exist and the world hasn't been transformed the way they expected. However, there are thousands of sealed indictments working their way through the system right now, and it's about to expose the evil Deep State and its pedophile masters. When it's all revealed (the great revelation), Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Anthony Fauci, most Democrats, all the Hollyweird jerks, George Soros and (that's just off the top of my head) basically anyone else your average Trump-supporting peasant doesn't like is going to be arrested and sent to Guantanamo Bay, which is being retrofitted to fit a large increase of prisoners.
>>2377548>We know Epstein flew girls out to the island and raped them (known fact). You're introducing more complexity and more assumptions – more moving parts – while Occam's Razor would say the more of that you do, the less likely it is to be true. Doesn't mean Occam's Razor is correct though, because maybe some of them did. But does it mean, I dunno, that Donald Trump and Stephen Hawking raped girls on the pedophile island? Well, no. Or an alternative explanation: there were a lot of people who did know about what Epstein was up to and looked the other way because they liked hanging out with him and flying on private jets. Seems pretty clear that Prince Andrew was in cahoots with Epstein.He already demonstrated that he shares girls with his friends with Prince Andrew. That's something he did as a fact. We know that he ran a harem of girls and providing them is a service he offers, at least one known friend, and this is rather much of the reason of having a harem, is to be able to exchange them for money or favors from other guys. That's usually called being a pimp. So we already know for a fact, that he pimped girls to one friend in exchange for favors. It's most probable that he pimped his girls to some of these other men, some even famously known for their sexual deviancy.
>>2377566It's possible. The last thing I'll say is that this is the first time I believe I've ever "doubted" the more reaching narratives in this Epstein story about blackmail. I've believed that he could have been involved in blackmailing people with sex tapes. I don't think anybody is stupid for believing that. It's not a crazy thing and I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand, and it's not something I would put it past some powerful, connected people like him. This has been popular on the left, and among parapolitics people, (and to a more crazed and irrationalist extent on the right) for awhile. I'm just not convinced that it's true.
As a meta-criticism, people look around for single points of explanation for why the U.S. government acts the way it does. For example, the debate about AIPAC and the Israel Lobby's role in American foreign policy. Leftypol has debated this, and I think it tends to be simplistic, which comes at the expense of a deeper, more structural understanding.
Think about it in a different way. (This is something that critics of the Ukrainian government and Israel will understand.) What does Israel and Ukraine have in common? They're both products of nationalist movements which the American security state consensus came to support during the Cold War. It's like Latvian, Estonian, and Lithuanian nationalism. There were a lot of Jews in the Soviet Union, and Israel entered into conflict with Arab states backed by the USSR. So, the strategy went (Occam's Razor here), why not use these people and their nationalist movements as a weapon against communism? Why not use the multiethnic society the Soviet Union was attempting to create over there against them?
So there's nothing special about Israel. The Israel Lobby has the power it does because the political consensus here lets it have that power, and while the Lobby is part of the consensus, it's a junior partner. A lot of people on both sides believe it's super important, but if Israel really did stop having utility to the empire, then you'd start to see a lot more fracturing going on at the top level. The focus on AIPAC can often be more useful to America Firster types too because the narrative puts forward a bad evil entity corrupting a good and naive America – an America that, if not for these dark outside forces, would be doing the right thing.
>>2377612>So, the strategy went (Occam's Razor here), why not use these people and their nationalist movements as a weapon against communism? Why not use the multiethnic society the Soviet Union was attempting to create over there against them?I think the explanation people are looking for is: Why are so many cold war foreign policy decisions like this still in play if the USSR was defeated? Why is NATO so important? Why is Israel so important? I think people don't understand that the US is beating a dead horse. They want to continue brutalizing and destabilizing entire regions in spite of socialism being effectively defeated in those regions. And that's when the thinking gets conspiratorial because it's no longer the occam's razor of defeating socialism but something much more expensive and lecss necessary.
> if Israel really did stop having utility to the empire, then you'd start to see a lot more fracturing going on at the top level.That's where we're starting to be at. But it's manifesting in the most reactionary way possible with people like Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson leading the charge against Israel in the media, stealing all the thunder and momentum from the repressed anti-war left on the college campuses, and completely drowning out the foreign policy realists like Mearsheimer who are able to articulate the problems with the lobby in a non-gauche way.

The National Education Association just voted to cut all ties to the Anti-Defamation League
>In a momentous vote, the National Education Association voted to cut all ties with the Anti-Defamation League. The reason? “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.”
In a momentous vote, the National Education Association’s 7,000-member policymaking body cut all ties with the Anti-Defamation League. On July 6, the NEA’s national Representative Assembly approved New Business Item 39, committing that the NEA “will not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), such as its curricular materials or statistics.” The reasoning: “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.”
The ADL has been a ubiquitous presence in U.S. schools for nearly forty years, pushing curriculum, direct programming, and teacher training into K-12 schools and increasingly into universities – often over the objections of students, parents, and educators. While the ADL has positioned itself as an anti-bias organization (until recently publicly abandoning much of that work), it has increasingly been understood as policing and repressing social justice movements, and deploying “civil rights talk” to derail change.
Now, the NEA, the largest labor union in the U.S. with 3,000,000 members, has finally said no.
Union delegates speaking on the Assembly floor rejected the ADL’s abuse of the term “antisemitism” to punish critics of Israel, and its use of hyperinflated statistics on hate crimes to gin up fears about Jewish safety and paint calls for Palestinian rights as “hate speech.” Delegates also cited the ADL’s history of suppressing antiracist organizing, including attacking the anti-Apartheid and Black Lives Matter movements. If the ADL’s history was not widely known before, its attacks on Jewish, Palestinian, and BIPOC anti-genocide protest over the past twenty months had led people to look more closely. “These are educators who believe in antiracist and social justice unionism. They’re beginning to understand Palestine in that context. They’re intolerant of the justification of violence,” one NEA member said.
Beyond those general objections, the ADL had fully sealed its fate by attacking NEA members themselves. Merrie Najimy, former president of the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA), recounted that in 2024 the MTA was tasked by its elected board of directors with creating resources for educators themselves to learn the history of Palestine, a counter-narrative to the myth that Palestine was “a land without a people” that European Jews could simply claim. The ADL improperly took those internal materials, cherry-picked elements to claim that presenting Palestinian perspectives on being colonized amounted to “glorifying terrorists”, and “manipulated [them]… to label the state’s largest union of educators as promoters of antisemitism,” as MTA leaders wrote in February. The ADL followed with a barrage of denunciations of teachers and the union in the state legislative hearings and press. These in turn resulted in the doxxing of MTA members, death threats against MTA staff, and anti-labor attacks that are still ongoing. “Why would we partner with an organization that does us harm?” Najimy asked in the lead-up to the NEA vote.
The ADL has similarly attacked the National Association of Independent Schools, which offered keynote talks on human rights, including Palestinian rights, by experts Suzanne Barakat and Ruha Benjamin at its 2024 conference. It has more recently turned its attention to “guiding” scholarly and educational associations – urging them to conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism – in response to a wave of resolutions opposing Israeli genocide and scholasticide. This is also not the first conflict between the NEA and the ADL over antiracism. In 1982, when the NEA joined with the National Anti-Klan Committee to develop curriculum on white supremacy, the ADL denounced it as too critical of the U.S. state’s role in racism. The NEA curriculum was never implemented, and the ADL’s own “tolerance” curriculum supplanted it.
The NEA caucuses that organized the “Drop the ADL” vote also reflect shifts in U.S. political culture. Several years ago, Najimy says, saying the word “Palestine” at the NEA convention would be called out of order. But a new Arab-American Caucus, a multiracial partnership with BIPOC and Jewish delegates, began working for educational resolutions on terms like “Nakba” in 2018. In 2024, the addition to the federal census of a Middle East/North Africa ethnic category led to formal recognition of a MENA Caucus at the NEA, entitled to full participation and rights – “not tied to somebody else’s acceptance of us,” Najimy said. That recognition helped members understand Palestinian rights as a necessary part of the union’s commitments to antiracism. At the same time, as the Gaza genocide catalyzed a global reckoning with Zionism as racist violence, a surge of newly politicized NEA members helped catalyze an Educators for Palestine caucus. Through one-on-one conversations and state-by-state organizing, the two caucuses broke through old myths that conflated supporting Jews with supporting Zionism.
The NEA’s worker-led, bottom-up rejection of the ADL interrupts the ADL’s strategy of building influence over education from the top down, entering schools and universities through high-level administrators, donors, and lawyers. The ADL leveraged spurious antisemitism claims to demand that schools bring it in to set policy and provide programming. For instance, after publishing “report cards” that panned universities where protests occurred, the ADL announced that 40% of those universities had “engaged in consultations” and adopted measures that improved their grade. The ADL’s recommended measures generally include conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism, escalating punitive discipline, and implementing ADL trainings that set the terms of allowable speech.
Backlash against the NEA vote has already begun, but union organizers are ready for it. The anti-woke/anti-CRT North American Values Institute (formerly Jewish Institute for Liberal Values) denounced the measure as antisemitic, and additionally attacked NEA members as “lemmings” for defending DEI against Trump’s incursions. Educators for Israel falsely claimed on X that Jewish teachers speaking about antisemitism – meaning Zionist teachers conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism – were “met with booing, jeering, yelling, and mockery.” But NEA members have already seen through those tactics, and they have seen a genocide on their phones. The ADL’s continued attacks seem only to help them see even more clearly.
The ADL’s continued attacks seem only to help them see even more clearly. As NEA delegate Stephen Siegel said from the assembly floor, “Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change.”
Additionally, the urgency of talking about Palestine has become an organizing engine within the NEA. “We have always had people of color, educators who are part of liberation struggles, in solidarity with us. But they’ve never had a place inside of NEA to be organized around it, until the Arab American Caucus and Educators for Palestine became a space to organize,” said one delegate.
The NEA’s legal team has designated the approved measure “a boycott”, even though it seems unlikely that a decision not to partner with another racist organization would be received as a boycott. With that designation, the measure is subject to additional procedural steps before the NEA implements it. Each step will be a chance for the ADL to use its considerable influence to attack the NEA again — but also a new chance for NEA members to show that their commitment to antiracist education and antiracist unionism is strong, and that they’re not for sale.

>>2377644>I think the explanation people are looking for is: Why are so many cold war foreign policy decisions like this still in play if the USSR was defeated? Why is NATO so important? Why is Israel so important? I think people don't understand that the US is beating a dead horse. I think the answer might be that it isn't a dead horse because the empire never left. Or that's one way to look at it. This is a big discussion but Israel helps destabilize unfriendly powers like Syria and Iran while keeping Egypt and Lebanon and Jordan in check, and some of it is managerial (outsourcing regional control). It's a big weapons lab and testing ground. There's the Israel lobby and Christian Zionist rapture types and Israel is run by people like "us" ("Judeo-Christian") unlike those people who are not like "us" (a.k.a. Muslim, brown, not European) which adds into and overlaps with it.
>That's where we're starting to be at. But it's manifesting in the most reactionary way possible with people like Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson I think it could change, but I don't take these people that seriously. It's like from Network: "you get up there on your 21-inch screen and howl about America and democracy, but there is no America, there is no democracy." What really matters is Apple, BlackRock, MasterCard, Nike, Pepsi, Visa and a dozen other monopolistic corps (not to mention the major defense corporations like Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and now Palantir). Where you see more division is over China where a lot of CEOs in what you might call the globalist faction want to do business with China, and they'll shake Xi's hand, but the entire military-security apparatus is just itching for conflict.

Sanitation workers remain on strike with mounds of trash piling up in several cities
>Sanitation workers on strike across Philadelphia and greater Boston area
>In Philadelphia, where the AFSCME District Council 33 is leading the largest city worker’s strike in four decades, city officials and residents alike complained about residents failing to follow adjusted waste rules and illegally dumping, including businesses using temporary sites set up to help collect residential trash.
>“In Logan this weekend, we’ve had a business take rotten chicken and unused oil and place it at our location. Needless to say, this person will be held accountable,” Carlton Williams, heads of the city’s Office of Clean and Green Initiatives, said at a press briefing. “They were arrested and they will be held to the fullest extent of our new process with our law department.”
>Residents of Morrell Park told CBS News Philadelphia the neighborhood has never looked worse and is filled with the overwhelming stench of trash.
>"It's not right. I feel like people are really taking advantage of this," a Philadelphia resident told the station. "Normally, our sanitation workers – they don't pick up furniture. They don't pick up sofas, sinks, counters, they don't pick up these items. So people are really taking advantage, and they're using this opportunity to dump everything out of their household."
Ben Shapiro says the Department of Justice has put the Epstein mystery to rest—declaring there was no client list, no blackmail scheme, no shady fortune, and no murder.
According to Shapiro, Epstein didn’t make his money through nefarious means, didn’t target powerful people, and simply died by suicide.
He challenged skeptics, saying if you believe your elected officials are lying, “bring the evidence,” because he stands by Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, and Dan Bongino.
His message: It’s time to change your view on Epstein
