Something has happened to Trump. When I look at him, he seems tired, weary, and almost defeated.

This is a post that agrees with what Bonnie (Freedom4ever) posted below. A most excellent thread!

(Even Armstrong wonders if Trump is being drugged!) WTH???

The following Guardian article does not mention that Jeffrey Epstein ran an influence harvesting operation on Israel’s behalf.

In essence, he would entertain influential figures in business, finance, politics and the media. Part of the ‘entertainment’ would include the amorous attention of attractive young women and girls who would lure these powerful figures into intimate encounters, which would then be recorded by hidden cameras.

The objective was to harvest photos of these encounters with mostly under age young girls, which could then be used against the figures of influence.

In essence it was a blackmail scam but the objective wasn’t financial. The aim was to coerce the figures of influence into acting on Israel’s behalf. That’s why former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak was regularly seen at Epstein’s New York mansion. To be sure, Barak may have occasionally enjoyed the attention of the young women in residence but that wasn’t the primary reason for his visits.

No, Barak visited Epstein’s New York mansion to oversee operations.

According to new documents revealed by WSJ, Epstein met at least three dozen times with Barak between 2013 and 2017 and they had appointments every month for 11 consecutive months starting in December 2015.

This also explains why Epstein worked closely with Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of Robert Maxwell, who also worked for Mossad.

From the outset, this was a Mossad operation.

Given Trump’s long-standing ties with Epstein, this raises the question of whether he was also photographed in compromising encounters with underage girls?

Is this why Trump is so willing to betray his MAGA base? Is this why he is more than ready to commit American lives and money to protect Israel? Has Trump been threatened with exposure if he doesn’t act on Israel behalf?

The following Guardian article doesn’t even allude to the possibility that Epstein may have run an operation to harvest influence on Israel’s behalf. Instead it waffles on about royalty and celebrity, as if that’s enough to satisfy the curious goyim.

Pointedly, it also omits to mention one curious anomaly.

In Britain, Prince Andrew’s association with Epstein has all but ruined his reputation. Yet Trump, who also had a long association with the convicted sex-offender, seems untainted.

Is this why the U.S. justice department sent Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general and one of Trump’s former lawyers, to meet with Maxwell in late July?

Is Trump trying to ensure that Maxwell doesn’t reveal what she knows about his association with Epstein? Is he trying to guarantee that she doesn’t disclose how the U.S. president has been blackmailed, coerced and controlled by Israel?
Epstein scandal broadens as trove of letters from famous figures published

Anna Betts – The Guardian Aug 5, 2025

The long-running scandal surrounding the disgraced late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein broadened on Tuesday after the New York Times published a trove of previously unseen letters to Epstein from numerous powerful figures as well as unseen photographs from inside his Manhattan mansion.

The letters, written to Epstein by a number of high-profile individuals, were reportedly compiled as a birthday gift for Epstein’s 63rd birthday in 2016. Their publication comes amid intense speculation around Donald Trump’s ties to Epstein, who was found dead in a New York jail in 2019 and had long cultivated a celebrity social circle of the rich and powerful.

In one letter, former prime minister of Israel Ehud Barak and his wife wrote “there is no limit to your curiosity.”

“You are like a closed book to many of them but you know everything about everyone,” they wrote, describing Epstein as “A COLLECTOR OF PEOPLE”.

They continued: “May you enjoy long and healthy life and may all of us, your friends, enjoy your table for many more years to come.”

In a letter from film-maker Woody Allen, Allen reminisced about Epstein’s dinner parties at his Upper East Side townhouse and described the gatherings as “always interesting”. He noted that the parties included “politicians, scientists, teachers, magicians, comedians, intellectuals, journalists” and “even royalty”

Allen also described the dinners as “well served”: “I say well served – often it’s by some professional houseman and just as often by several young women” who he said reminded him of “Castle Dracula where Lugosi has three young female vampires who service the place.”

Other letter writers reportedly included billionaire media mogul Mortimer Zuckerman; Noam Chomsky and his wife; Joichi Ito, the former head of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab; physicist Lawrence M Krauss; and Harvard biologist and mathematician Martin Nowak.

Allen, Ito, Zuckerman and Nowak did not respond to requests for comment from the Times. Barak reportedly declined to comment, and Chomsky’s wife responded on his behalf, also declining to comment. Krauss reportedly told the Times that he didn’t recall the letter but did attend “several lunches with very interesting discussions” with scientists, authors and others at Epsteins.

In addition to the letters, the Times also published photos from inside Epstein’s seven-story Manhattan mansion.

In his office, the images show a taxidermied tiger and reportedly show a green first edition copy of Lolita – the controversial 1955 novel about a middle-aged man’s sexual obsession with and sexual abuse and rape of a 12-year-old girl – which the Times said was “showcased”.

Surveillance cameras can be seen in Epstein’s bedroom and an adjoining room. In his “massage room”, where many underaged victims said that they were sexually assaulted by Epstein, the Times reports that there were paintings of naked women, shelves of lubricant, and a large silver ball and chain.

Elsewhere in the house, dozens of framed photographs show Epstein pictured alongside longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking. They also pictured Epstein with notable figures such as Pope John Paul II, Mick Jagger, Elon Musk, Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Richard Branson, Saudi Arabia crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and former Trump White House adviser, Steve Bannon.

One frame also displayed a dollar bill signed by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates with the message “I was wrong!” which the Times said was “possibly as payment of a bet”.

The Times also reported that the home’s entryway featured framed prosthetic eyeballs, and that a suspended sculpture of a woman wearing a bridal gown and clutching a rope hung in the central atrium.

According to the Times, a map of Israel drawn on a chalkboard that had the signature of former Israeli prime minister Barak was also in the home.

Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide.
