FBI documents published on the US Department of Justice website show that billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein funded the group Friends of Israel Defence Forces (FIDF) and settlement-building organisation the Jewish National Fund (JNF).

Analysis of income and transfers to non-charitable exempt organisations, released by the FBI, shows that the convicted sex offender financed the FIDF, which “raises funds for active duty Israel Defence Forces soldiers and veterans”.

      Maybe they should use enhanced interrogation techniques to pull out every bit of information on every person involved in this scheme. Grab other people connected to it, get them all down there, I’m not even saying the torture stuff they were doing. Dose them all up with like scopalamine, all sorts of fun drugs, question them, maybe leave them alone together afterwards and listen. There are a lot of options. It’s not like she would hold out that much information either, she would try to immediately fold if she was actually expected to give it up and not be suicided.

    Epstein and his enablers believed in jewish supremacy. One of his victims went into a lot of detail about that groups views on how their DNA makes them superior to everyone else. I’m sure it also has religious beliefs tied into it as well. That’s also why he was never held accountable by others who followed the same supremacist logic. This same way of thinking about other people extends to white supremacy and even class supremacy. That’s why he was never really held accountable by anyone… They all believed the victims were subhuman, compared to their supremacy views. And therefore it wasn’t “abuse”. This gets even weirder once you consider Epsteins views on demographics.

          For me it’s pretty clear he was a kind of a freelancer selling info to everyone. He wasn’t pretending to only work for Russians or the Israelis. Most likely he started working for the CIA and then became an independent influence peddler. He knew everyone, could connect you to anyone and sell you intel if you had the money. He was useful to everyone so everyone protected him.

        It has but no one’s paying attention. It’s a country where you can’t even type “LGBTQ” in a private text message - that’s bare minimum litmus test and China has always been failing it.

          Oh yes but still they talk like sheep and half the world (or more) actually believes them. Their actions surely speak a different language and they aren’t always as subtile as not being able to write certain things. We turned blind eyes on Russia for years and seem to be doing so as well for china. As someone else already said this might change with Taiwan. Or is Taiwan really only another Crimea?

            You know what’s weird is that in reality there are no China apologists like you see on the web these days. I live almost full time in Asia and even Chinese here (that can speak English as I don’t speak Mandarin) are aware how fucked their government is and don’t even bother justifying it but some tankies in high income european countries are spamming .ml of how amazing CCP is.

        China has never made any bones about it, they are a one party totalitarian state that rules with an iron fist. Their working population are veritable slaves, working 6-12’s, 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, with little benefit or protection, many forced off family farms in generations prior in the great leap forward, and thrown into the industrial meat grinder in cities they do not have residency, they are illegal immigrants in the cities they live and work, it’s not like in the US. They can be beat up, jailed, thrown out of town on a word of their employer.

        Their companies dump their waste in the ditch behind the factory, abuse their workers, and otherwise are the whores of wall street, to use the greed of our capitalists against them, getting not only all of our technology, but also their factories built and machines supplied, to allow capital to sell out unions and environmental protections in the west.

        Their true color has been clear for generations, from the start, as is the true colors of wall street.

          Wow, what a load of made-up shit!

          996 (the 12 h workday 6 days a week), while a stark reality, is only commonplace in the tech sector among young professionals, and it’s actually illegal, just rarely reported and prosecuted.

          People being “forced off family farms” is directly bullshit, there were never “family farms” in China, it was an empire with brutal landlords starving the peasants with a life expectancy of less than 30 years of age before Maoism, and by the time Mao died life expectancy had doubled to almost 60 years of age. Land was collectivized and belonged to the state and local communities afterwards. People moving to cities is mostly a consequence of better (while still not good) living conditions in China in early cities. That strategy turned out wonderfully too: 800 million Chinese people have been uplifted from poverty over the past 40 years in what’s become the greatest poverty alleviation exercise in human history, saving hundreds of millions of lives in the process.

          Companies in China don’t “dump their waste in the ditch behind the factory” anymore than in any developed country. Environmental regulations in the 80s were bad because the country was underdeveloped, but in mid 2020s they’re comparable to most western countries, while China is the world pioneer in nuclear and solar energy, producing 95% of all solar photovoltaic modules that are produced on Earth every year, and pioneering also electric car development and high speed rail.

          Your concern for western capitalist intellectual property reveals your true ideology: you want western capital to dominate, not progress for humanity. If western companies didn’t want to accept Chinese copyright laws, they could have simply chosen not to move their production to China. Otherwise, get fucked. Great job blaming the evil Chinese communists for the lack of union movement in the west, surely nothing to do with a century of anticommunist propaganda and unionbusting.

            I’ve spoken with Chinese people online that backed all of this up, in detail. 6-12s were outlawed by China that is, but they still make them work them, they just don’t pay the extra hours.

            The part about residency in the cities, about lack of protections, about pollution, all true. As is the forcing of tens of millions off of their family farms to force them into the industrial meat grinder. The great leap forward is well documented, as is their transformation, same as with all nations in the north, of a half or more of the population being on smaller farms to only a handful of a percent in the span of industrialization.

            It’s not like any of this is unique to China, this has happened in about every country that industrialized. It is only after a labour movement took hold that any of the working peoples got anything other than long hours for starvation wage pay, that is the natural state of Capitalism. Until labor can achieve some power their workers will continue to be exploited the maximum amount possible.

            You can see what China is doing, getting all of our tech and getting their factories built for them by exploiting western greed, but they are sacrificing generations of their people to misery to get there, and irrevocably poisoning a lot of watersheds/ground. None of this is particularly groundbreaking, this is the background on the country, it’s rather common knowledge. Ideologues may be misplaced in their sentiments trying to pretend it’s all swell there, but their energy would be better spent finding ways to organize China’s workforce, to improve their lot. Because it improves the country’s lot as well. More money in the hands of workers means more goods bought, which is more factory orders, it’s a reinforcing cycle.

            Chiseling workers out of a dignified life makes everyone poorer in the long run, and China already has wall street where it wants them, they don’t need more investment/factories. It’s time to squeeze Wall Street, for the Workers. It’s time to make good on the Promises of Socialism.

        Western world starts countless wars, a genocide and an alarmingly fascist state followed by its increasingly fascist vassals across the pond.

        Western liberals: I can’t wait for China to reveal its true color!

          I do not in any way justify, nor have I ever done so, what western countries are doing. Further more I am European and always opposed us foreign policy. What makes a huge difference in my opinion to Europe is that china is a one party totalitarian state who’s leadership has the power to do whatever pleases him. China is openly threatening it’s neighbours. They have pretty much invaded foreign territories under the pretence they were theirs. This is something no European country does or could do.

            This is something no European country does or could do.

            Right, Europe just invades other countries out of pure joy and then installs puppet governments that are loyal to the West. This is just the last 30ish years:

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NATO_operations

            What foreign territories did China invade? Did that parliamentary system you like so much stop the nazis from taking power? Is it stopping armaments to Israel today?

            Again, you are focusing on the wrong threat, because the propaganda told you to. Weed out your own garden first.

              That list contains two active mission that are not in a member country. One in iraq that according to the list is a non-combat advisory and capacity-building mission. I guess it is debatable but Iraq war was not nato not European. The other one is a peace keeping mission in Kosovo that from my point of view is very necessary.

              And what countries did Europe invade? Neither Europe nor the EU has an actual standing military.

              Regarding Chinese expantionalism: what about tibet, Hong kong, russian and Tajikistan’s border conflict, claims in south china sea and so on. China also acts very aggressive towards its neighbours. Which European countries do so (except for Greece and Turkey who are both NATO members).

                The big ones that European countries participated in were 20 years of invasion in Afghanistan and the bombing of Libya. Some countries, like the UK, participated in the Iraq war(s). You could argue that Yugoslavia bombing was justified, but I’m sure anticommunism played a bigger role than enforcing human rights. We see now how much EU governments care about human rights in Palestine.

                Tibet has been part of China for centuries. First through the Qing, then through the ROC (Taiwan today) and now through the PRC. Just because separatists claim independence does not mean that the PRC invaded it. Do you support European separatist factions, like in Northern Italy, Basque, Scotland, or Donbass? Hong Kong is a Chinese territory that was fucked up by British colonialism (seeing a pattern here) and was handed over peacefully by the British.

                Europe doesn’t engage in old colonialism anymore because the world has soured to that approach after centuries of wealth transfer towards Europe. Instead it installs friendly governments through military campaigns and then engages in neocolonialism, which has a similar effect, with a lower cost. What’s your definition of standing army? The UK for example, has 70k full time military personnel, which I would count as a standing army. Similar numbers for Germany.
