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!

Fiesta Mayor de Verdiales en la Venta El Tunel Su majestad Juan Medina y Jose-Gutierrez To the province of Málaga in Andalusia on Spain’s Costa del Sol. From 1969 to 1971, photographer Jürgen Schadeberg (18 March 1931 – 29 August 2020) was there to capture the essence of the place rapidly shifting from rural, fishing-dependency to a major European tourist hotspot. Having shown us around Glasgow and given us his final interview, Jürgen now takes us back to Spain on the brink of modernity. We see the area around Torremolinos, the fishing village of Los Boliches in Fuengirola, the Fiesta Mayor de Verdiales at Venta El Túnel and the Ronda bullring.   Los Boliches, Fuengirola, At a religious festival in Mijas Jürgen Schadeberg was born in Berlin in 1931. From 1946 onwards he studied at the city’s College for Optics and Photography, before becoming a photographer with the German Press Agency (dpa) in Hamburg. In 1950 he moved with his family to South Africa, where he joined the staff at Drum magazine, which focused on the country’s black majority population. From 1964 onwards he worked in Europe and the USA, as well as lecturing at various universities.  In 1985, he returned to South Africa, where he was based until 2007. Jürgen Schadeberg lived in Spain together with his wife and passed away in 2020.   Los Boliches, Fuengirola, A party on December 28 Fans at the Plaza de Toros de Ronda El-basurero-feliz-de-Torremolinos-limpia-lo-que-dejan-los-turistas-copyright-jurgen-schadeberg-scaled On the beach in Malaga At a bar in Mijas At a festival On the beach in the last 1960s The post With The People of Malaga – 1969-1971 appeared first on Flashbak.
