Security equipment and alarms were installed by the Israeli government at a notorious Manhattan residence frequented by former Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
I have been 99.99% sure that the Epstein-Trump ring was an Israeli-American intelligence operation for years now.
It’s the only option that perfectly explains how they were able to get away with it for 30+ years; especially the lack of consequences for everyone involved. They were protected by nation state secret police at the top of western “intelligence”.
This is why I have always been fundamentally opposed to the idea that secret police can coexist with democracy; their existence is the greatest risk to, and attack vector of, every democracy. Their historic crimes were more than enough evidence that they shouldn’t exist, even without the pedophilia.
Epstein was pals with Ehud Barak for many years, so your guess probably is true.
I can guarantee you that if Ro Khanna is elected, any mention of the Epstein files will vaporize from US mainstream media overnight.
“Security” system…
Does anybody care that Drop Site’s author and founder Ryan Grim supported Graham Platner, who has a skull-and-bones tattoo resembling the Nazi Schutzstaffel’s symbol. Grim also shared posts by Sulaiman Ahmed a friend of neo-nazi Nick Fuentes. And Drop Site recently outright posted right-wing Tucker Carlson as if he is a credible source for anything. Grim also interviewed Tim Dillon, who once dressed as an antisemitic caricature of a Jew that’s “controlling the media”.
Graham Platner, who has a skull-and-bones tattoo resembling the Nazi Schutzstaffel’s symbol
The totenkopf, specifically. I cannot tell you the literally COUNTLESS skull-and-bones tats I have seen on everything from Deadheads to Jolly Roger flags that have fuck all to do with Nazis. A tat on an oyster farmer doesn’t bother me a bit, and given this administration’s fondness for all things Nazi, including Pete Hegseth’s own array of actual Nazi tattoos, I think you’re looking in the wrong place for offense.
But hey, if you’re gonna go there and start equating appearance with substance, then what I really have a serious problem with is Republican Senator Susan Collins’ pearls.
She prefers clutching them to doing anything practical at all, except advancing the Republican party’s goal of abdicating their own constitutional powers to a would-be dictator as he destroys everything we care about, and right this very second is credibly threatening to wipe Iran off the map. Those pearls have absorbed a great deal of Sen. Collins’ power, authority, and duty that could have and should have gone to support her constituents and her country, and they are a disgrace.
Remember when she said she was certain Trump had learned his lesson? I do. And when when Trump officially kicks off WWIII – if he has not done so already – I will remember that woman’s useless, corrupt fucking pearls that helped put him there and keep him there.
If I were a Mainer, I’d vote for Platner in a heartbeat.
EDITED to add links
Not only is the tattoo not just a Totenkopf, but Platner was well aware that it’s a Nazi symbol.
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/10/24/politics/graham-platner-nazi-tattoo-evidence-kfile-invsOh, the horror. Oh, the tragedy.
Thing is, Graham Platner doesn’t ACT like a Nazi. He acts like a man who cares about his community, his state, and his country, which he actually served as a soldier, and during which service he obtained said tattoo.
Our president, on the other hand, IS an actual fucking Nazi – whose own military service, which he called his “own personal Vietnam,” consisted of a bout of syphilis – and who has installed an actual fascist government, and you’re trembling in your Mary Janes over one ex-soldier-turned-fisherman’s ink, lol.
I note you have not a single word to say about Hegseth’s actual Nazi tattoos, (archive link) much less the administration in place that is fascist by definition.
Nope, you’re going against the one guy that actually cares about his neighbors and his state, trotting out squeals of disapproval over a single (very common) tattoo like it’s 1955 and you’re his grandmother afraid he’s going to hell for it, lol.
Let me go cry in terror and moral outrage now because I saw a grown man’s ink, lol. Oh, wait . . . that’s not my position, that’s yours.
Note: Out of many articles available on the far-right associations of Hegseth’s tattoos, I specifically chose Der Spiegel because they know Nazis better than anyone else. It translates easily. Here’s the upshot: “It is unlikely that Pete Hegseth would not be aware of all this: “Crusader symbolism” today primarily represents right-wing radical or even right-wing extremist sentiment.” Have fun.
Fettermam and Sinema didn’t act like conservatives before being elected either.
I hope you are right about Platner, but until then, I’m skeptical of him.
You should be. Platner’s not tested. He could be fantastic, or . . . not.
But as far as Fetterman and Sinema, what you said is true on the national stage, maybe. Fetterman was a mayor and a lieutenant governor before getting his Senate seat, and Sinema was in both her state House and Senate before going to DC, so they were both already very well versed in saying whatever they needed to say to get where they wanted to go. And Fetterman, especially, came to DC with a number of warnings behind him.
What has me hopeful (not certain, just hopeful) for Platner is that unlike those two, this is Platner’s first foray into politics: he really is just an oyster farmer. That, and between Janet Mills and Susan Collins, Platner’s opposition is SO horrendously bad as to be laughable. So even if Platner himself didn’t have my full confidence, the others are making up for that in spades.
But don’t get me wrong, unlike the trolls I’m not trying to change anyone’s vote. I responded to that other guy because watching him gather up his skirts and squeal about a single, now-covered skull-and-bones tat while he ignores all the real Nazis made me laugh. If you’re in Maine, vote your conscience, whatever it is. I wouldn’t presume to change it. But for myself, if I were a Mainer, I’d much rather take a new, not-yet-corrupt candidate over any of the current offerings.
I don’t want to dox myself but it’s actually far, FAR worse in my state: if you knew the name of the corrupt motherfucker who is my senator, you’d be like, “Oh, okay, I see your point, lol.”
No. Ryan Grim is doing some amazing work.
Great counter argument.
Sorry, I guess I didn’t see your comment as a real argument; at least, not about Ryan Grim. You just mentioned a few other newsworthy people you don’t like (not that I agree with those individual assessments), whom Ryan had interactions with, and then tried to pin those individual’s attributes on him. Personally, I believe its good when journalists cover newsworthy people and events, especially when these topics are being intentionally ignored by mainstream media like the Mossad-Epstein connections in this OP.
Also, one of your criticisms was that he shared a post. I honestly had a real-world chuckle at that. Should we downvote or ban anyone on Lemmy for posting a Trump tweet, for platforming a fascist?
Overall, I’ve been very impressed with Ryan. He’s doing real on-the-ground journalism, such as his recent trip to Cuba to document the human-rights abuses resulting from the US blockade. Also, he’s covering a lot of Israeli atrocities that mainstream media won’t touch, and sharing Iranian perspectives during the illegal US-Iran war. I would be a lot less informed about geopolitical issues without Ryan’s journalism, and I’m thankful for his work.
still not worse than cannibalistic pedophile murderers on their way to destroy our world
please don’t tempt them… every time we say it can’t get any worse… these subhuman abominations take it as a fucking challenge. At this point in time if proof was shown saying that they ate the babies while they were still alive… I would not even be surprised anymore. at this point in time… if you can think of something vile and evil… chances are they already did it and we just don’t know yet.
subhuman
So now we’re openly using Nazi vocabulary as well?
So just because there is something or someone worse we shouldn’t criticise others anymore or what are you implying?
Does anybody care that Drop Site’s author and founder Ryan Grim supported Graham Platner,
