The Bannon/Epstein tie feels fundamentally different because it shows the rot at the center of MAGA style *populism.* So it's a mystery why Bannon isn't getting more blowback. (This outstanding Branko Marcetic piece is a rare exception) jacobin.com/2025/12/epst...

The first Palestinians returned to Gaza from Egypt through the Rafah crossing this week, after being stuck outside Gaza for two years or more. They described grueling interrogations, intimidation,…

Israeli PM Netanyahu two mornings ago is invoking Epstein to smear a political rival, fmr. PM Ehud Barak from Israel’s security establishment who sits to Netanyahu’s left.
But Drop Site’s reporting shows Epstein wasn’t just tied to Barak. He helped open doors for Netanyahu too.

A good podcast by Alexander Kekulé fully dedicated to the origin question.
Kekulé is very well-known in Germany. This is his 433rd podcast with MDR.
👉🏻 He declares himself at 51% lab accident (but actually sounds to be a bit above that).

What has never been reported in the mainstream media, is that when @SenTomCotton discussed some supposedly xenophobic 'fringe theory' of SARS-CoV-2 origins, he was effectively paraphrasing the expert opinion delivered by Baric during a classified BSEG (intel) meeting on 25 or 26 January 2020.

Background: GoFRoC/ePPP research is a tiny, high-risk subset of virology w no demonstrable civilian benefits. It has been contentious among scientists for decades. Obama presciently banned it in 2014. Fauci circumvented the ban by outsourcing GoFRoC work on bat coronaviruses to Wuhan via EcoHealth.
