Zohran Mamdani's Pragmatic Socialism Is Paying Off—For Now
The incoming mayor has improbably charmed Donald Trump and given himself some political breathing room. But nobody should get too comfortable.

On CBC, I talk about Jeffrey Epstein, the CIA and Mossad, referencing the excellent reporting at @dropsitenews.com -- yet it remains impossible to get mainstream USA media to discuss this evidence.

Jeet Heer's essay on Jeffrey Epstein's role as a foreign policy influence agent is eye-opening and an essential read. It's remarkable that given all the ink spilled over this man—most of it simple scandal-mongering—we still have such a feint understanding of his project. This clarifies a great deal.
Jeffrey Epstein Was a Warlord. We Have to Talk About It.
Mainstream media is ignoring the fact that the late sex trafficker was a power broker who shaped global policy.

The Epstein Act is a start, but we're going to need a much bigger rollback of the Imperial Presidency; www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Trump's Imperial Presidency Has Taken a Hit. Will He Recover?
Trump's defeat over the Epstein files was a rare instance of Congress defying his authoritarianism. But the resistance is still feeble.

Massie was crucial to forging the Epstein bill coalition. What he's saying here -- that Epstein had CIA and Mossad ties -- is supported by reporting, notably the excellent series at Drop Site on Epstein's as an international power broker. The mainstream media has almost entirely ignored this topic.
Rep. Thomas Massie: Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel's intelligence agencies. That’s why they’re trying to stop this.

This is a MAGA person responding to a post about Epstein. The line of argument they are developing in order to defend Trump is: Epstein was not so bad.

Eye-opening piece: Epstein “was a believer in the Washington Consensus, US military hegemony bolstered in the Middle East by the alliance with Israel, globalization, the privatization of gov functions, STEM-dominated education, & male-centered sexual hedonism—an ethos he took to sickening extremes.”

“Trump richly deserves whatever reputational harm and possible legal retribution may come to him as a result of his ties to Epstein. But, at its heart, this has always been a scandal about the ruling class as a whole, not one individual or political party.”
