    There’s no citation of the files, though. Did anyone find a confirmation?

    Nice try Tankie, but we’re not falling for it

      Let’s see, Epstein had:

      • a very close relationship with Ehud Barak, who visited him around 30 times that we know of. https://apnews.com/article/epstein-israel-us-barak-politics-5709588906fb10cd51bb49f30a9825d2
      • a close relationship to Yoni Koren, Ehud’s aid, who stayed at Epstein’s residence for extended periods
      • donated to Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) and to Jewish National Fund (JNF) https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/epstein-funded-pro-israel-groups-including-1-settlement-building-fbi-documents-show/3824046
      • Israeli government installed/managed security equipment and controlled access at his Manhattan residence https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/19/israel-installed-security-at-epsteins-manhattan-apartment-for-ex-pm-barak
      • urged Doha to forge links with Israel to stay in the good graces of Donald Trump https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/epstein-tried-build-web-powerful-ties-across-middle-east-documents-show-2026-02-18/
      • Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell, is strongly alleged to have ties to Israeli intelligence
      • FBI informant says he was an Israeli spy https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/fbi-informant-became-convinced-epstein-was-israeli-spy-government-document/3820659
      • ran a “honeytrap/blackmail” operation for Israel https://electronicintifada.net/content/us-media-barely-touches-epstein-links-israeli-intelligence/50822#%3A~%3Atext=Wexner+became+Epstein's+biggest+financial%2Cclose+relationship+with+Robert+Maxwell.”
      • mossad debriefed with Epstein’s lawyer after his calls with him, who happens to also be literally Israel’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/fbi-informant-became-convinced-epstein-was-israeli-spy-government-document/3820659

      The list goes on, but sure, if someone asks why the government who’s been protecting and redacting the names of the pedophiles and holding back and scrubbing the files is insisting without providing evidence that the obvious Israeli asset is actually a Russian spy is a Tankie.

      Jesus Christ!

        All of these facts are anti-Semitic

      Huh? Sensational claims on a hot topic are always better fact-checked, regardless of what they support.

      If you’re ready to spread whatever you hear as long as it supports your views, here you are: Trump eats an infant every morning to deal with impotency. Go ahead, make a headline.

      Or, a tankie version: Xi Jinping personally installed 150GW of solar power yesterday as he ruled closing of coal plants across the country.

        Sensational claims on a hot topic are always better fact-checked, regardless of what they support.

        Better for whom?

        Listen, we’re at war with an existential foreign evil. And I believe anything negative we can say about that foreign power furthers the war effort. Therefore, we MUST believe it, whether or not it is true.

        Trump eats an infant every morning to deal with impotency.

        You joke, but we did this one already, back in 2016. “Torturing children to eat them for their magic youth chemicals” was a popular mythology for the Alex Jones crowd.

        And we believed it, God damnit, because we needed to beat the Chinese Communist plant Hillary Clinton.

        Or, a tankie version: Xi Jinping personally installed 150GW of solar power yesterday as he ruled closing of coal plants across the country.

        Obviously, solar power is itself a hoax perpetrated by anti-American climate activists. So it’s exactly the kind of lie a Chinese Communist Tankie would spread.

        I believe Xi Jinping’s fake degenerate solar panels are undermining Western Civilization. If he’s installing them, he must be stopped at all costs.

        If you see a solar panel, it is your duty to smash it. Fuck the CCP!

A community for discussing events around the World

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.
