But why tho?
In all seriousness, I may be serious in some threads and not in others.

Investigating Jeffrey Epstein: Intelligence Connections and the "Little Black Book" 🧵
I became curious enough about the claims surrounding Jeffrey Epstein recently to do some research. My investigation was not exhaustive—I didn’t dive into the numerous books written about Epstein’s ties but instead just used basic internet searches and summaries from those who have studied the source material and reportedly are showing the most damning evidence. My goals were twofold: Was Epstein an intelligence asset, and what evidence supports this? And what exactly is the so-called "little black book"?
TL:DR
Public information on Jeffrey Epstein's alleged intelligence ties originates from two sources: Vicky Ward and Ari Ben-Menashe. Ward’s claims rely on hearsay from a highly unreliable source, with most reports circling back to her work. Ben-Menashe, a former Mossad operative, claimed in 2019—post-Epstein’s arrest—that he knew of Epstein’s activities since the 1980s. His ties to controversial groups undermine his credibility.
This narrative fuels a moral outrage trap, weaponized by influencers for political gain. These actors often exhibit selective indignation, loudly condemning trafficking when it suits their agenda while ignoring or downplaying similar issues elsewhere, revealing their hypocrisy and opportunistic motives.
