    It’s hard not to interpret a lot of this as Israel being the leader of both the USA and UK. Not just Iran, but Gaza and home grown protests/reactions to.

      It’s easy to find another interpretation: Israel is a useful stooge for Western powers. They do what they’re told to do.

      After all, it’s western powers that created modern Israel in the first place, partly to keep the region destabilized so that the Middle East wouldn’t threaten the Western power bloc.

      Israel is just the American Empire’s favorite colony, which they use as a tool to gain some plausible deniability for some of the worst excesses of their foreign policy

      Probably parts of other governments too. Ghislaine and Epstein banked on various island, targeted the rich regardless of nationality and seemed to be operating with purpose.

      France, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and much of the Commonwealth likely have senior officials that can be blackmailed or whom receive funding from someone who can be. If this is the same CIA operation as the Franklin Scandal it’s been running since the 80s.
