Clickbait, Conspiracies, and a Fake Photo: The Times’ Epstein–Mossad Debacle

Key Takeaways:

The release of Jeffrey Epstein–related files has fueled a surge in online antisemitism, with old conspiracies repackaged as claims that Epstein was a Mossad asset.

That fringe smear was irresponsibly mainstreamed by The Times of London, relying on an anonymous, discredited source exposed by other journalists as unreliable.

When challenged, the paper’s Israel correspondent doubled down by sharing an obvious AI-manipulated image falsely linking Israel’s president to Epstein – before issuing a hollow apology after being caught.

More likely was the idea that Epstein was a CIA asset who used Russian girls. Btw, Trump is mentioned in the files, but mostly as to the first one that reported Epstein to the authorities. He was a fellow rich person in New York, so they did know each other, as all rich folks do in New York

[pissant]

Epstein obviously had ties to multiple intel agencies, or at least access to people in that orbit. But Cucker Tarlson is only interested in the jooooooos for some reason. As are the FR retard brigades

---- "More likely was the idea that Epstein was a CIA asset"

Would not be surprised, as the pages released get digested, we will be told by analysts that Epstein was Mossad, KGB, CIA, a part of the EU conspiracy, an asset of the UK, and more.

As to the "news entity" you cite, it's a "charity" and operates out of a PO Box in NYC:

However this all pans out, it is likely that Epstein was an axel in the wheel of government corruption and used its influence to affect policies to manipulate others. And of course, the Daily Mail in 2020 reminds via now-indelible imagery....

President Trump is included by way of publication of a mere “tip” about a 13 year old girl, whom he and Epstein both raped, then argued about one undoing virginity first, then both hit the little girl along with their verbal orders for her to keep quiet.

Just pure fantastical filth with no business in the public domain.

[dfwgator]

Just like the “Bacon Number” for the Kevin Bacon Game from years ago. Now people will have an “Epstein Number”.

[dfwgator]

So

Macualey Culkin’s “Epstein Number” is 2, since he was with Donald Trump in “Home Alone 2”

Don’t tell the FReeper Allahu Akhbar Chorus!

They might stroke out ...

[AAABEST]

BS article.

Only idiots who have zero clue as to how intel is collected and diseminated would believe ANY intel agency would ignore and fail to exploit such high value VIPs and info.

We know Maxwell’s father was Mossad - verified and acknowledged. We know Ehud Barak was a close associate of Epstein’s - for YEARS. That is also verified and acknowledged. The only question is not “if,” but *how much* of an asset Epstein was and his degree of active participation.

Quit trying to make excuses and turn everything antisemitism or a trope.

[piasa]

Most likely KGB.

[Eli Kopter]

Wrong. But there is an effort to make Epstein an Israeli agent. Only an idiot would not recognize it.

[Biblebelter]

You NAILED it.

Really, nothing to add.

[piasa]

Democrats are always the most loving to communist Cuba, Russia, Nicaraguan Sandinistas, the IRA, Hamas, communist Chinese. They sure as heck saw in Epstein exactly what they see in all the others. So what then do all these things have in common?

[Eli Kopter]

Or a fundraiser for the CIA...

[gloryblaze]

Just like the “Bacon Number” for the Kevin Bacon Game from years ago. Now people will have an “Epstein Number”.

Astute analogy. But the consequences of having a "scarlet number" are far from merely amusing.

[Kazan]

Even if Epstein was a Mossad agent, that he was able to operate a sex trafficking ring as a US citizen wouldn't have been possible without the full consent of the CIA and FBI. There is no way either didn't know exactly what he was doing.

We need a lot of answers to Deep State's complicity with Epstein.

[Eli Kopter]

I agree. That is why I always suspected a CIA fundraiser using a honey trap. He funneled enormous amounts of money to ‘somewhere’ or ‘someone’, using Russian girls (and most assuredly Ukrainian).

[montag813]

Documents also revealed Epstein funded a “Sharia-compliant” cryptocurrency from a group at MIT in 2015. Not exactly a Mossad priority.

[Jewbacca]

“We know Ehud Barak was a close associate of Epstein’s - for YEARS”

I have little doubt he was involved.

Ehud Barak is the dirtbag who came up with the idea of kicking me and my family (and my entire town) off our farms and out of our synagogues in Gush Katif to appease the Arabs in Gaza.

Big buddies with Obama and Obama strongly favored Ehud Barak over Bibi. Obama repeatedly tried to knock Bibi out of power in favor of Ehud Barak.

Deepest of the international deep state pieces of s—t in Israel. Buddies with all the POS that tried the “Russia Russia Russia” hoax against Trump.

So, I agree, he’s very likely in on it.

Hating on Ehud Barak is not anti-Semitic. Ehud Barak is an enemy of the Jewish people who happens to be Jewish.

I didn’t not realize that the infamous painting of Bill in a Blue dress was actually base on one that Hillary wore. Which makes me wonder if Bill is a secret cross-dresser or just got really drunk one night when Hillary was out and he put on one of her dresses.

It makes the painting even funnier.

--- "It makes the painting even funnier."

We should remain on a mission to recall such stuff, to our liberal friends and even the RINOs, as the media hopes such an image will go away.
