Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is not conspiracy theory shit, as I said this isn't fucking Pizza Gate. We have several people who are familiar with him all saying it sure looks like it.
Accusation is not proof but there is additional evidence.

Elements in Isreal had much deeper ties than they would like to admit. Surprise surprise, no one wants to claim this guy after he was exposed.
I doubt Isreal trained him, but there is strong intelligence that he was an tool of Mossad and the CIA as in he did work for them. He provided material support to advance the interested of Israel and the USA around the world. Perhaps you could say he was just self serving, but that is exactly the type of person these agencies use.

Perhaps what we are looking at is an individual that is both being used and using the USA, Russia, and Israel. I find it strange after all he did for Israel that they would say he actually worked against their wishes.

And it is not just other people's words. Epstein bragged that he was a fixer, able to create and repair relations with different cultures and that he did work for Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the USA.

Going back to his plea deal in 2008 when Alex Costa said that he was told to back off (which he did) Epstein's prosecution because Epstein was involved in ongoing intelligence agency actions. He later denied he said this.

We have good evidence that Epstein had compromised Ehud Barak. Israel and US intelligence would be aware of this.

We also know he had strong connections to the CIA meeting with William Burns who went to director of the CIA.

Pretending this is a "bro trust me" situation based upon the available information is a gross mischaraterization. I would even say that the conspiracy theory at this point is that Epstein didn't have the connections that everyone says, including himself, he had.
