Honeytraps

There is, actually, considerable evidence that Epstein ran a honeytrap, which takes compromising photos of powerful people doing stuff with prostitutes they might not want the public to know.

This was not an angle the government seriously investigated, which would have been investigating their own intelligence services.  Denials cannot be believed, and evidence from grand jury testimony is not going to explore such angles.

But what's rarely discussed is how this works.  Are rich and powerful people not capable of getting their own prostitutes rather than using a honeytrap operation.  Are rich and powerful people all pedophiles?

What's not understood here is that the honeytrap is not merely for your personal satisfaction.  The honeytrap is a initiation.  Other rich and powerful people are not going to return your phone calls until you have been initiated too.  Only once you have been initiated are you considered safe because you can be controlled.

Then, once you are part of the club, you can keep enjoying the perks.

We more or less know which people were doing that, with Donald Trump, for whom we have more Epstein photos than just about anyone, as one of the top clientele and not surprisingly Epstein was suicided during Trump's first administration.

Myths behind Magnitsky Act

Quoting the above:

The true aim of the Magnitsky Act was to protect William Browder and Michael Khodorkovsky from Russian law for tax evasion. And to paint Russia as a “human rights” violator. And it worked very well indeed. Members of Congress didn’t care to examine the facts. They just bought the story Browder and Kyle Parker dreamt up.

Bisexual vs Pansexual

The (rather inside) argument whether Bisexual or Pansexual is a better term is discussed here.  The author (Kaylee) and I agree that Bisexual is the correct term.  In so doing, a lot of other concepts and words and online controversies are sussed out.

Zionism at home

It's often said by Noam Chomsky and others that the US imperial establishment created and uses Israel as their battleship in the middle east, to keep the other middle states from uniting against the west.

But there another angle.  The imperial establishment uses Zionism at home to defeat socialism.  They did this with Jeremy Corbyn, and they seem to be doing it to Zohran Mamdani.
