    EPSTEIN FILES

    The info keeps flowing, and revealing terrible plots, terrible monetary and political ties, and terrible predation - and excuses that reflect poorly on many people.
    Let’s begin with this

    Of course, there are the long-standing reports of Israeli intel work

    #BREAKING CONFIRMED: Epstein trained as a spy under Israeli Prime Minister as per unclassified FBI CHS report ","username":"WarMonitors","name":"War Monitor","profile_image_url":"https://pbs.substack.com/profile_images/1982860522501406720/sJwOCyoN_normal.jpg","date":"2026-02-04T13:58:03.000Z","photos":[{"img_url":"https://pbs.substack.com/media/HAUZRsuWQAEJlAg.jpg","link_url":"https://t.co/VOsmMzIWpX"}],"quoted_tweet":{},"reply_count":189,"retweet_count":4013,"like_count":15640,"impression_count":425812,"expanded_url":null,"video_url":null,"belowTheFold":true}" data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM">

    Indeed… And links to Trump in soo many ways

    CRYPTO

    STARMER

    GATES LINK

    CHOMSKY

    FORMER OBAMA LEGAL COUNSEL… A year after she left, as she headed to Goldman Sachs…

    Natali Morris of Redacted nails it re Deepak Chopra
    “One of the more shocking email exchanges from the Epstein files is this one from spiritual leader Deepak Chopra. He says that “God is a construct” but “cute girls are real.” He asks if Epstein had found him “a cute Israeli.”

    It’s hard to imagine a more complete collapse of the public persona Chopra spent decades cultivating. This was a man who preached transcendence, detachment from desire, and moral clarity. The real question isn’t just how Chopra recovers from this. Who cares if he does or not? The question is how so many people trusted him to guide their inner lives for so long and how they missed that he was into such unsavory behavior.

    TARIFF TERRORISM

    Podcaster Spencer Hakimian yesterday made this claim

    This appears confirmed LINK
    BUT, BUT!! Weren’t Trump’s tariffs a great BOON to the economy? He, Karoline Leavitt, Bessent, Hassett, Johnson, and others all have either said so or intimated that they believe or want you to believe that is the case… Yet…

    And…

    Bessent - lying

    THE “SAVE” ACT - ELECTION ID, FOURTH AMENDMENT, POTENTIAL POLL “TAX” PROBLEMS

    Let’s begin with a reference to the “MEGA/SAVE” (“MEGA” for “Make Elections Great Again”) act, and other alarming matters stemming from the Senate’s push for crazy, unconstitutional spending and a defiance to include the SAVE voting-ID bill in its final version of the “Bipartisan Spending Bill” that will keep the feds going until October... Trump signed it yesterday. It includes $1.2 trillion in mostly unconstitutional (and all immoral) tax-theft/debt and spending that ended with allocations like $3.8 billion to Israel and $700 million for global HIV/AIDS programs as just two examples of fiscal excess.

    We will refer folks to Thomas Massie and this Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL, 3rd Dist).

    Here is Mr. Massie:

    Of course, we reported yesterday on Trump’s intensified attack on Massie, and we will discuss more, tonight, but here are Daniel McAdams and Ron Paul doing a stellar job exposing the RiNO-MAGA spenders and oath-breakers, while they point out Thomas Massie’s superior ethics and adherence to his oath. LINK
    At the close of these News Notes, we will take a moment to consider the SAVE act…

    IMMIGRATION

    This, from a Federal Dist Judge in Oregon is valuable only to a point, because the terms “aggressive” and “excessive” are malleable, and in the hands of govt, be it the Exec Branch or Judicial

    - DHS is amping-up their “Administrative Warrant” attack on the 4th Amendment and Natural Rights, now claiming it lets them gather intel, surveil citizens, detain them or arrest them on streets, and break into their homes.

    EPSTEIN FILES

    Consulting with others today, and discussing our interest in trying to discern the true posts and the true — of most believable — claims within the tranche of Epstein File releases (remember, Bondi and Patel and Bongino were all over the proverbial map about them, claiming they were terrible, then that they didn’t exist, then that they did but didn’t show any child predation, THEN, claiming that they exist but that the US government was going to investigate them, so the information could not be released…) ANYWAY!… Where were we? Oh! Right! I think two of the best sources on which to rely for the discernment on what is and is not real would be Thomas Massie’s and Ro Khanna’s offices. Those, plus reliable alt news sources. Massie and Khanna can check the releases with the victims and their attorneys and what they know. In many cases, internal claims made by Epstein (ex, his claim about Gates wanting antibiotics) likely require sifting to see which are most aligned with other, temporally or personally, connected communications or meetings. For example, here is a post about the Alex Acosta prosecutorial light-hand and the notation at the time that Epstein was “intel” - and the tie to the Barr family that goes back to Epstein’s early job at a private school that seems to have been tied to his early days getting into the Israeli intel circles, via Barr Sr.

    And here, one likely can assess this as valid, but, given AI tech, it could be a creation, based on voice files.

    -There is so much information from the Epstein files, we will try to break it down into chunks. Here is one from the UK that opens many doors in that nation…

    -Some media outlets (such as this) have sensationalized Jeffrey Epstein’s purported attempts to blackmail or corrupt Russian President Vladimir Putin, framing them as triumphs in a shadowy web of espionage and influence. Sensational headlines suggest Epstein wielded kompromat over global leaders, including Putin, through honeytrap operations tied to Russian intelligence. Yet, these portrayals distort reality: Epstein’s overtures, such as emailing intermediaries to offer insights on U.S. politics to Russian officials ahead of summits, resulted in no confirmed meetings or tangible sway. Investigations found no credible evidence of Epstein successfully blackmailing prominent individuals. Epstein’s links to Russian mafia figures, often highlighted in media as proof of Kremlin collusion, more plausibly served Israeli intelligence interests. His close ties to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, under whom he reportedly trained as a spy, indicate Mossad leveraged these connections for kompromat and influence operations, not Russian agendas. Here are two relevant articles debunking claims of Putin being influenced:

    1. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article312917423.html

    2. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/13/jeffrey-epstein-emails-associate

    -Glenn Diesen nails it

    (and the fact that some media outlets are so willing to release falsehoods aught to act as a reminder of how much the world of politics enters every day life and acts as a corruptive influence - trust is a valuable commodity not to be given easily.)
    -The Epstein acknowledgement of Robert Maxwell’s murder

    -Here is another one on the international front, tied to the recently “taking the reins” head of the Rothschild clan

    -Now, turning to the US…
    -Bari Weiss’ wife, Nellie Bowles, a former New York Times reporter, exchanged emails with Jeffrey Epstein in 2018, a decade after his Florida conviction. She discussed introducing Weiss to her family and met him at his townhouse. Another NYT reporter, Landon Thomas Jr., maintained contact post-conviction, pitching interviews on Epstein’s terms, sharing Trump tips, and warning him about a detective’s book. LINK LINK
    -Bari Weiss’s recent “Medical Segment” hire to CBS, Peter Attia, is out, thanks to his ties to Epstein. LINK Remember, when one of his children was near death, he stayed in NYC to be close to Epstein.
    The former head of PR to elect to Massachusetts AG the woman who is now the Governor there? He approached Epstein years after the Georgia conviction, wanting a job. Here is the Boston Herald on that: “Political consultant asked Jeffrey Epstein for a job claiming he helped Maura Healey get elected AG” LINK
    -*** This conversation, via Garland Nixon this morning, is excellent! LINK

    IMMIGRATION POLICE STATE

    Here’s something to keep in mind

    -The two men who, called “ICE Agents” and who were handed your money to invade Minnesota and terrorize its residents — the two men confirmed to be on video shooting and killing Alex Pretti… also are confirmed to be in this video days before, smashing into a sixteen-year-old girl and threatening her to the point of physical injury.

    Those men are:

    • Jesus Ochoa (age 43), a U.S. Border Patrol agent (often referred to as Jesse Ochoa in some personal contexts). He joined CBP in 2018.

    • Raymundo Gutierrez (age 35), a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer with the Office of Field Operations. He joined in 2014.

    Multiple credible reports, including from ProPublica (which obtained and reviewed government records), MPR News, The Guardian, and others, confirm these as the two agents who fired their weapons during the fatal encounter with Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and VA hospital employee, amid an anti-ICE/immigration enforcement protest or operation in Minneapolis under “Operation Metro Surge.”
    -AND more VIOLENCE, admitted by an ICE goon

    This Substack is reader-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

    -I want to add this here, at this point, in our immigration police state coverage. It is a very good historical overview of the formation of ICE in the W Bush Admin, to now, and it makes a very good point about the “civil” and non-criminal/non-judicial nature of the federal attacks, the fake federal “administrative warrants” not being real warrants, and more

    Share

    -Tom Homan misleads when he claims ICE has “rescued” 145K children. Most of those children merely had missed some appointments at immigration offices. Here is the Fox-pushed headline: “ LINK Let’s look more closely. I reported on these claims for MRCTV a few times, and the portrayal from Homan is misleading. Homan, as Border Czar, has publicly stated that DHS (in coordination with ICE, FBI, and HHS/ORR) has “rescued” or “located” more than 145,000 migrant children. This figure is often tied to broader claims of over 300,000 unaccompanied minors who were “lost,” “missing,” or unaccounted for under the prior (Biden) administration - as claimed by the Center for Immigration Studies under Mark Krekorian. Sources like Fox News interviews, his posts on X, and related clips (including the MSN-linked video here) frame this as a major success in addressing neglect, with some mentions of children handed to unvetted sponsors or at risk of exploitation/trafficking. However, independent analyses and fact-checks consistently show that terms like “rescued” and “missing” are often misleading or overstated in these contexts:

    • The underlying numbers stem from DHS/ICE reports (e.g., a 2024 DHS Inspector General report) about unaccompanied children who either never received notices to appear in immigration court or failed to appear for scheduled hearings. For instance, one report highlighted around 291,000 children without notices and 32,000 who didn’t show up—totaling figures in the low hundreds of thousands over several years. These are administrative immigration tracking issues, not evidence that the children vanished, were kidnapped, or were necessarily in immediate danger.

    • “Lost contact” or “missing” typically refers to cases where HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) released children to sponsors (often family members) and later couldn’t reach them for follow-up calls or couldn’t confirm their status. Earlier whistleblower claims (e.g., around 85,000 from 2021–2023) involved failed follow-up attempts, not confirmed disappearances. Many such children are believed to be safe with relatives, working (sometimes exploited in labor), or simply avoiding government contact due to immigration fears.

    • Claims of mass “rescues” from trafficking/abuse (seen in earlier Homan statements around 62,000) have been debunked or contextualized as conflating different categories. Fact-checks from outlets like Snopes, PolitiFact, AP, and others note that these figures mash up routine welfare checks, immigration enforcement actions, or locating kids who missed court dates—not primarily dramatic extractions from active trafficking rings. There’s no public evidence that the 145,000 figure represents children pulled from dangerous situations in that way; it’s more about re-establishing contact or confirming locations for immigration processing.

    -Luckily, here, a local cop intervened. Headline: “ICE goons’ gunpoint snatch-and-grab of US citizen thwarted” LINK

    WARGREENLAND - THE FED - BILDERBERGER GROUP -

    Trump’s Fed Chair nominee has ties to the figures intent on acquiring Greenland, ties to Bronfman of Seagram’s, the Israeli government, the Bilderburgers, and more LINK and LINK— Warsh has deep ties to the Lauder family through his marriage to Jane Lauder, daughter of billionaire Ronald Lauder and granddaughter of Estée Lauder. Ronald Lauder, a longtime friend of Donald Trump from their Wharton days, first suggested the U.S. acquire Greenland in 2018, likely influencing Trump’s persistent interest; Lauder has invested in Greenlandic ventures like bottled water and infrastructure. Ronald Lauder, heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics empire and president of the World Jewish Congress since 2007, is a prominent advocate for Israeli interests. He has funded pro-Israel initiatives, including those placing Estée Lauder on BDS boycott lists for alleged complicity in Israel’s actions in Gaza. Lauder played a key role in Benjamin Netanyahu’s rise to Israeli prime minister, providing early support and introducing him to strategist Arthur Finkelstein. He has acted as an informal U.S. advisor on Israel under Trump, lobbying lawmakers and sharing intelligence from Israel post-October 7, 2023.
    Lauder supports Israel’s Likud party and has been questioned by Israeli police over gifts to Netanyahu. The Lauders connect to the Bronfman family via Ronald succeeding Edgar Bronfman as World Jewish Congress president in 2007; the Bronfmans built their fortune through Seagram’s liquor empire. Bronfman was a Zionist, supporting Israeli causes and advising U.S. policymakers on Israel. His father, Sam Bronfman, negotiated arms sales to Israel with Shimon Peres. Charles Bronfman (Edgar’s brother) co-founded the Mega Group in 1991, a pro-Israel lobby with alleged Mossad ties via members like Les Wexner and links to Jeffrey Epstein’s operations. Epstein’s network, involving Ghislaine Maxwell (daughter of Mossad-linked Robert Maxwell), appears to have been an Israeli intelligence/CIA honeytrap.
    Warsh’s background also includes serving on the Bilderberg Group’s steering committee, linking him to global elite networks. These interconnections highlight Warsh’s embeddedness in influential financial and political circles.

    IRAN

    -Lindsay Graham must be frustrated. He knows that the only way to prevent war is to surround a nation-state, embargo its people, assassinate members of its government, bomb its nuclear power facilities, make impossible demands of the leaders who remain alive, misconstrue the culture, and then attack it with massive military force. That’s peaceful and moral.

For instance, one report highlighted around 291,000 children without notices and 32,000 who didn’t show up—totaling figures in the low hundreds of thousands over several years. These are administrative immigration tracking issues, not evidence that the children vanished, were kidnapped, or were necessarily in immediate danger.

    • “Lost contact” or “missing” typically refers to cases where HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) released children to sponsors (often family members) and later couldn’t reach them for follow-up calls or couldn’t confirm their status. Earlier whistleblower claims (e.g., around 85,000 from 2021–2023) involved failed follow-up attempts, not confirmed disappearances. Many such children are believed to be safe with relatives, working (sometimes exploited in labor), or simply avoiding government contact due to immigration fears.

    • Claims of mass “rescues” from trafficking/abuse (seen in earlier Homan statements around 62,000) have been debunked or contextualized as conflating different categories. Fact-checks from outlets like Snopes, PolitiFact, AP, and others note that these figures mash up routine welfare checks, immigration enforcement actions, or locating kids who missed court dates—not primarily dramatic extractions from active trafficking rings. There’s no public evidence that the 145,000 figure represents children pulled from dangerous situations in that way; it’s more about re-establishing contact or confirming locations for immigration processing.

    WARGREENLAND - THE FED - BILDERBERGER GROUP -

    Trump’s Fed Chair nominee has ties to the figures intent on acquiring Greenland, ties to Bronfman of Seagram’s, the Israeli government, the Bilderburgers, and more LINK and LINK— Warsh has deep ties to the Lauder family through his marriage to Jane Lauder, daughter of billionaire Ronald Lauder and granddaughter of Estée Lauder. Ronald Lauder, a longtime friend of Donald Trump from their Wharton days, first suggested the U.S. acquire Greenland in 2018, likely influencing Trump’s persistent interest; Lauder has invested in Greenlandic ventures like bottled water and infrastructure. Ronald Lauder, heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics empire and president of the World Jewish Congress since 2007, is a prominent advocate for Israeli interests. He has funded pro-Israel initiatives, including those placing Estée Lauder on BDS boycott lists for alleged complicity in Israel’s actions in Gaza. Lauder played a key role in Benjamin Netanyahu’s rise to Israeli prime minister, providing early support and introducing him to strategist Arthur Finkelstein. He has acted as an informal U.S. advisor on Israel under Trump, lobbying lawmakers and sharing intelligence from Israel post-October 7, 2023.
    Lauder supports Israel’s Likud party and has been questioned by Israeli police over gifts to Netanyahu. The Lauders connect to the Bronfman family via Ronald succeeding Edgar Bronfman as World Jewish Congress president in 2007; the Bronfmans built their fortune through Seagram’s liquor empire. Bronfman was a Zionist, supporting Israeli causes and advising U.S. policymakers on Israel. His father, Sam Bronfman, negotiated arms sales to Israel with Shimon Peres. Charles Bronfman (Edgar’s brother) co-founded the Mega Group in 1991, a pro-Israel lobby with alleged Mossad ties via members like Les Wexner and links to Jeffrey Epstein’s operations. Epstein’s network, involving Ghislaine Maxwell (daughter of Mossad-linked Robert Maxwell), appears to have been an Israeli intelligence/CIA honeytrap.
    Warsh’s background also includes serving on the Bilderberg Group’s steering committee, linking him to global elite networks. These interconnections highlight Warsh’s embeddedness in influential financial and political circles.

    -Lindsay Graham must be frustrated. He knows that the only way to prevent war is to surround a nation-state, embargo its people, assassinate members of its government, bomb its nuclear power facilities, make impossible demands of the leaders who remain alive, misconstrue the culture, and then attack it with massive military force. That’s peaceful and moral.

  • Your Sunday News Assembly, for 2-1-26

    Welcome, fellow Conspirators!

    Today, we see the bulk of our Sunday News Assembly dominated by a trio of major subjects, the first being the stunning revelations from the vast number of “Epstein Files” that have reached public notice since Friday afternoon, eastern US time. The second is the creeping war prep and the vocal threats conducted by and spouted by the Trump Administration and its sycophants circling in the “advisory” and “expert commentator” roles so adored by many in the equally sycophantic warmongering media. The third is the ICE/CBP/DHS terrorism happening around the US. We’ll cover these, here, and look for your thoughts at the bottom of the Assembly and on Monday’s Liberty Conspiracy Live.

    As always, please feel free to read all, or just portions, of this special report, to leave and return, and to SHARE the internal links and the whole release! Be sure to head to Rumble or Gardner’s X at 6 PM eastern each M-F for the news, from Liberty Conspiracy LIVE! We hope to provide as much big info for freedom fighters as we can!! ALSO, check out the new Former Star Trek Writing Fellow Channels - On YT, and on Rumble!

    EPSTEIN FILE DARKNESS

    Please beware that there are numerous stories and links here that describe or contain very dark and discomfiting information about the abuse of girls. We will begin with the status now of the hardcore Zionists in the US who, though seemingly animated about “migrants taking children over the border”, have remained MUM on the revelations of strong Israeli ties to Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, newly hired mucky-mucks at CBS, and strong supporters of Donald Trump.

    And, curiously, the Kash Patel FBI, which Kash told us was so eager to get the baddies and offer the Epstein info to the world? According to Thomas Massie, who has been working with a handful of other Congress members (esp Ro Khana), it is threatening members of his staff.

    But we all know Kash Patel and the FBI not only are on top of the Epstein child trafficking problem, we know he’s been very consistent and that it’s completely moral for agents of the state to demand you pay for their offices to exist. Right?

    -And that Israeli connection to Epstein. Let’s see some of the tendrils… Here’s a hint about the Israeli ties to the overthrow of Qaddafi in Libya and the acquisition of Libyan assets.

    But what of the Israeli influence in the US, and Alan Dershowitz, as well as Jared Kushner?

    But Mr. Dershowitz already hasn’t attempted to sow strange ideological seeds, right?

    IMMIGRATION POLICE STATE

    Rather than appear in court today and present evidence showing that one of the men they kidnapped had committed some kind of crime, the “Acting ICE director” Todd Lyons released that man, and now, Judge Schlitz has pulled the order for Lyons to appear before him — for now. LINK - The kidnapped man is named Juan Hugo Tobay Robles, an Ecuadorean immigrant who came to the US nearly 30 years ago. He was detained by ICE agents in Minnesota on January 6. But, as we have reported on Liberty Conspiracy Live, Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz, based in Minnesota, ruled that his detention was a breach of the Constitution and due process. On January 14, 2026, the judge ordered ICE to either provide him a habeas hearing within a week or release him. ICE did not comply initially, leading the judge to threaten contempt proceedings against Lyons, including ordering Lyons to appear in court today. The judge criticized ICE for a pattern of violating court orders in numerous immigration cases (citing at least 96 violations in 74 cases in Minnesota alone during the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement surge). After the threat, ICE released Tobay Robles from a Texas detention facility late Wednesday evening. His attorney, Graham Ojala-Barbour, confirmed the release to the court and media. Upon confirmation of the release, Judge Schiltz canceled the contempt hearing for Director Lyons. While the judge expressed ongoing concerns about ICE’s broader noncompliance with court orders and warned of potential future contempt actions if violations continue, there are no indications in the reports that Tobay Robles has been re-detained or faces imminent re-arrest/deportation threats specifically tied to this case post-release. The release resolved the immediate dispute in his individual case (Tobay Robles v. Noem or similar docket). No sources mention any active deportation proceedings, re-arrest warrants, or new threats against him as of the latest news I’m seeing.
    -Don Lemon (and journalists Trahern Jeen Crews and Georgia Fort) Arrest(s) - The Feds are trying to get them - again, using the clearly unconstitutional FACE Act. If there is a crime here, it is a local or state issue. LINK And, of course, Lemon’s attys misread the Constitution, as well, claiming he had a “First Amendment” right to be inside the Church. The two opposing forces are standing on false arguments. FACE is an unconstitutional federal statute re free speech in public places (like streets), seeing the feds prohibit certain kinds of speech in real public places. That contradicts the First Amendment. But Lemon was INSIDE a church, on private property, thus, his claims of “First Amendment protection” are inoperative, because he could be cited for trespass on private land, and the state constitution’s protection of free speech pertains only to truly public (i.e. tax-funded) places. This shows observers why it has been important for us to discuss the erroneous ruling in “Marsh v Alabama”, which saw the Supreme Court claim that a private boat-making company in Alabama had a “campus” that was “public” when it never was supported by tax money and was PRIVATE.

    -Here are the feds showing up at Ms. Fort’s abode, after their first attempt to prosecute her for journalism failed and was rejected by a judge.

    -More, from Georgia Fort

    The initial attempt to arrest Don Lemon was based on a criminal complaint filed by prosecutors, which was rejected by a magistrate judge and a chief judge. The Trump DOJ then pursued the matter through a federal grand jury, which issued an indictment on the same underlying allegations related to his coverage of an anti-ICE protest that disrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, on January 18. The specific charges in the indictment are Conspiracy to Deprive Rights under 18 U.S.C. § 241 and Violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act under 18 U.S.C. § 248 (applied here to allegedly interfering by force or threat with individuals’ exercise of religious freedom during the service).

    US ECONOMY

    -Treasury Sec Scott Bessent is “warning” Canadian PM Carney about making deals with China that might actually reduce costs for Canadian consumers. This, prior to “trade” talks between the two government goons. There is an almost comedic lesson in that: two politicians who issue edicts over consumers and sellers then having meetings to discuss “trade”. They both stand in opposition to trade. They both assume that they can tell others how to trade. Still, Bessent warning Carney is rich. This is Bessent, who claimed he was working “for the people of Iran” as he pushed the US economic embargo on much of Iran’s output and many things that people try to ship TO Iran. Mr. Bessent might not comprehend that Carney engaged in this likely agreement with China, in part to set up negotiating room with the US. LINK
    -For those focused solely on the “goods and services” side of the Balance of Payments (and, therefore, see as “bad” any higher amount of imports to the US that are above US exports to that nation), Trump’s tariffs were supposed to make those imports so much more expensive, Americans would buy the politically preferred American-made (often, those are made through use of imported raw materials or mechanical pieces, etc.). But, as we can see, the “goods and services” side of the ledger saw a higher “trade deficit” (trading is, by its nature, a voluntary act, and does not produce an “imbalance”) as the year ended.

    (And, as Ms. York notes: these prices reflect the values PRIOR to the added federal tariff taxes.)

    Trump just named Warsh his nom for next Fed chair… The man traveled with Epstein AFTER Epstein was known to be a child predator. This might be brought up during his “nomination hearings” to take control of the govt-created fiat currency system

    WARISRAEL…

    Netanyahu not only just reiterated that Israel would control all the land “from the river to the sea” (as he and others said long before the occupied Palestinians ironically turned the saying into a hoped-for claim of freedom), he stressed that Israel would have to disarm Hamas and eliminate them. But that implies further occupation, more military aggression in Gaza, and the likely final ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, since Israel characterizes civilians as “Hamas” and uses that categorization as a rationale to continue the genocide. Here are Daniel Davis and Patrick Henningsen on the Netanyahu claim (cued to that portion of the program)…
