💥Bombshell, sort of: Polish PM @donald-tusk.bsky.social is the first world leader, as far as I know, to say out loud that Jeffrey Epstein may have worked with Russian intelligence.
As Poland’s PM pledges a serious investigation, one uncanny question remains: how much will US authorities cooperate?

Epstein’s emails to Norway’s Thorbjørn Jagland connect the dots.

He is compromised and the evidence is right there.
It is time people pay attention to what those emails actually say:

Imagine if most nights in Victoria 70 cruise & ballistic missiles rained down & your government could only intercept about half of them.
So, Putin’s a war criminal and water is wet, but just imaging what it would be like. How helpless and abandoned you would feel.

The report was restricted by the US Ambassador to Israel because the photos "lacked balance" - they "lack balance" because this is genocide and one-sided destruction on a massive scale. There is no "balance" to be had.
Look at the photos. The thing I heard often working on the USAID Gaza response from our partners in Gaza was the field of dead bodies - men, women, children - that fanned out around IDF checkpoints in the Netzarim corridor. Shot by IDF soldiers for no reason (unless "for fun" counts as a reason).
U.S. Envoys Refused to Report "Apocalyptic" Conditions in Gaza. Exclusive Photos Show the Reality They Suppressed
The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem suppressed a February 2024 report on northern Gaza because it “lacked balance.” These photos from the UN fact finding trip are visual evidence of the conditions.
