The media is now trying to manufacture a link between Jeffrey Epstein and the Russian KGB. It would be funny if it weren’t so transparent. Epstein had ties to multiple foreign interests, but his closest and most documented connections were to Israel and Israeli intelligence. The released documents make that unmistakably clear. So why the sudden fixation on Russia? Take a guess. Yes, Epstein had a well-documented affinity for Russian women. A search of the database for “Russian girls” returns more than 150 pages of results. In 2016, Page Six reported that “Epstein apparently has contacts in Moscow who provide matchmaking services” for both his Caribbean island—jokingly referred to as “Little St. Jeff’s”—and his Manhattan townhouse. How those women obtained U.S. travel visas is a fair and important question. But that inquiry does not erase, or even meaningfully complicate, Epstein’s far more troubling role as an intelligence asset tied to Israel. Isn’t it odd how far backwards the media will bend to avoid reporting Epstein’s ties to Israel? Curious, right?

Al Jazeera reports that Iran and the U.S. will send delegates to Istanbul on Friday to hold talks on a nuclear treaty. Many intelligence sources were bracing for a U.S.-led attack on Iran over the weekend but thankfully that did not come to pass. Now Iranian officials are signaling that they “expect progress” on “a framework to restart nuclear talks.” They say that they are examining proposals from several countries in order to agree to a meeting this week. The U.S. has made no such concessions. Instead, the U.S. reportedly held talks with Israeli generals in Washington The U.S. has made no comparable overtures. President Trump did say he would be open to “a deal,” but instead, the U.S. reportedly held talks with Israeli generals in Washington. Israeli leaders claim to have been there to discuss the Israeli military’s “operational readiness for any possible scenario.” They don’t have to imagine a scenario. Iran is not threatening to attack! The U.S. and Israel are the ones threatening to attack! The hypothetical trigger is in their hands! Let’s don’t find out if they are going to pull it!

Two curious ties to the Epstein files are on the air at CBS News. It’s curious. In this email, Epstein is writing to New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles about introducing her girlfriend to her mom. That girlfriend would later become her wife. It is the head of CBS News Bari Weiss. Another person who repeatedly corresponded with Epstein was wellness expert Peter Attia. His emails are especially unsavory. You can search them yourself. Attia was recently named a contributor to CBS News and yet he once emailed Epstein that p-word is “low carb.” What will CBS News do with this? The head of their network’s spouse was chummy enough to talk to Epstein about their relationship and met with him at his home. Their wellness expert condoned Epstein’s life of sexual depravity. How are they going to appropriately cover this story? Don’t they owe their audience an explanation? The post WTF CBS!? appeared first on Redacted.

We don’t have all the Epstein files but we have enough to know for sure that many powerful people knew about a lot of abuse and torture of young girls. Is it a silver lining that Epstein never abused women of color? One of the documents has him specifically telling one of his victims not to “bring me any n*ggers.” Bad taste jokes aside, the files are a horror but we must remember that this is not all of them. This is only a first response. It feels like chum. We shown that many high profile people had personal relationships with Jeffrey Epstein and either witnessed or participated in sexual abuse, torture, and more. These are crimes, right? Shouldn’t the Justice Department arrest someone? Not necessarily, they say! “There’s a lot of correspondence. There’s a lot of emails. There’s a lot of photographs. There’s a lot of horrible photographs that appear to be taken by Mr. Epstein or people around him. But that doesn’t allow us necessarily to prosecute somebody,” said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday. If torture is not worth looking into for arrest, I don’t quite know what we have a justice system for. You can argue that the statute of limitations is up for much of this evidence but recall that the government has had this evidence for years, and in some case decades. They DECIDED not to prosecute a long time ago. The burning question now is: Why!? The post The Epstein Files: As Bad As We Thought appeared first on Redacted.

Have you ever whispered something and then got an ad about it on your phone later? You’re not crazy. This happens. Google settled a lawsuit this week that alleged Google Assistant recorded private audio even when users did not activate it by saying “Hey Google” or “OK Google.” Google did not admit wrongdoing but it also did not fight the case. Instead, it agreed to pay $68 million to make it go away. The lawsuit claimed the assistant sometimes activated on its own, captured fragments of private conversations, and that those recordings were then used to inform targeted advertising. Google says these were “false activations,” not intentional surveillance. Plaintiffs say the ads that followed their private conversations told a different story. The takeaway isn’t that your phone is always listening because that was not proven in court. Google settled so nothing could be proven or disproven. The takeaway is that the tech industry has quietly normalized collecting far more data than users meaningfully consent to and only draws a line when lawyers and judges get involved.
