The biggest revelation in the Epstein emails is being overlooked.
They hint that Epstein may have helped Russia gain leverage over Donald Trump, providing advice to individuals close to Putin on influencing a sitting US president.
This deserves far more public scrutiny:

Neither Israel nor the United States can be trusted in regards to Gaza, the West Bank, or Palestine and Palestinians. This is not a cease-fire but the same death by a thousand cuts that is occupation, apartheid, and slow ethnic cleansing.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
