Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Ironically the Israeli pedo who was released is probably in them.
Under lock and key in Tel Aviv.
Israel needs their master list intact so they can continue pulling the levers. Hence why nobody's been officially named.
It also explains why the trump admin couldn't release a doctored version like everyone thought they would. If the version they release now doesn't include someone whom they'll need to blackmail later, then the whole thing becomes poisonous to use and a lot of time and money is now up in smoke.
Epstein was Mossad.
Maxwell's dad. Epstein seems more like an independent asset who sold to or traded with Mossad and the CIA
That idea comes from Tucker Carlson which makes it immediately suspect.

As another user pointed out, it isn't Tucker's theory. It has been bandied about for more than a decade. It has received some support more recently from a book written by a former Israeli agent.
Note, I try to take everything with a grain of salt, but this individual was found, by a jury in the USA, to have been selling and/or buying weapons for Israel. Something Israel denies, of course, but I'm not very inclined to believe anything the government of Israel claims.
Tucker Carlson repeating an existing theory does not make it his theory. This is a very cheap ad hominem argument. There are many many links to Israel such as Epstein fleeing there before his 2008 plea deal. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/05/vicky-ward-you
