Whitney Webb reported on the links between Epstein, Israeli tech company Carbyne, and the American intelligence apparatus

Not long after Epstein’s arrest, and his relationships and finances came under scrutiny, it was revealed that the Israeli company Carbyne911 had received substantial funding from Jeffrey Epstein as well as Epstein’s close associate and former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak, and Silicon Valley venture capitalist and prominent Trump backer Peter Thiel.

Another funder of Carbyne, Peter Thiel, has his own company that, like Carbyne, is set to profit from the Trump administration’s proposed hi-tech solutions to mass shootings. Indeed, after the recent shooting in El Paso, Texas, President Trump — who received political donations from and has been advised by Thiel following his election — asked tech companies to “detect mass shooters before they strike,” a service already perfected by Thiel’s company Palantir, which has developed “pre-crime software” already in use throughout the country. Palantir is also a contractor for the U.S. intelligence community and also has a branch based in Israel.

Again, it's always the people you expect the most.

What a surprise.

Sometimes, it really does feel like the conspiracy theorists aren’t that far off, except they’re looking at all the wrong people. They need to look at the Right people…

The conspiracy theorists know something is wrong, but for some reason they come up with crazy reasons for it when the real reason is obvious. There aren't lizard people ruling the world; it's just wealthy humans.

Almost every conspiracy theory they have is grounded is some truth, they just can't see the obvious thing that those in power are trying to divide us and control us. I really don't understand how they reach the point they do when reality is so much simpler, but it sucks because they usually have good intentions but are critically mislead.

This would be 10x funnier without bottom text

[–] trager_bombs@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Unfortunately I'm more vengeful than I am funny, sorry 😔

[–] moody@lemmings.world 6 points 14 hours ago

I'm shocked. SHOCKED!

Actually, I'm not even a little surprised.

Imagine your government gives your privacy and healthcare data to a couple of pedophile-psychpaths, as part of the ongoing attacks on the NHS... On behalf of making a country doing a genlcide richer.

I’m starting to think we’ve found the Illuminati…

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 8 points 17 hours ago

Hmm it's almost like there's a large group of powerful people that are somehow inexplicably tied to known flesh monger. Ah there I go with my crazy conspiracies again!

No surprise there, I bet most of the people that run the world are on that list.
