First of all, I apologize on behalf of the United States. We are being held hostage by a bunch of fascists.

If I was on the edge of ledge holding on to two people from falling off, and those people were any combination of Putin, Netanyahu, Trump, Musk, Thiel, or JD Vance, I’d cut off both my arms.

Netanyahu is pretty much from Philadelphia, he’s connected through the Philly mob, MIT, and Leslie Wexner. That’s the thread that still needs to be unveiled.

Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of the Epstein files.
What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable?
We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.

📰🇪🇺 Fears grow in Europe that Putin could attack within a year — WP
Previously, Berlin and other capitals believed that Russia could threaten NATO’s eastern flank by 2029. Now, the consensus is growing that it could happen much sooner — before Europe can build up its own military power.
