A declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.

The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein worked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office.

The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.

Chabad-Lubavitch, a religious Jewish sect founded in Russia, has grown to an estimated 90,000 members. Its messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology has repeatedly been linked to hardline settler colonial politics in Palestine.

The memo also cites Berel Lazar, a Chabad member and the former chief rabbi of Russia, describing him as a close adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Chabad is basically state-sanctioned Judaism. It is used by Putin to keep tabs on all the Russo-Jewish oligarchs,” the FBI memo adds.

The source goes further, saying: “Trump has been compromised by Israel. And Kushner is the real brains behind his organization and his Presidency.”

    Putin actually didn’t help Iran much in exchange for Israel not sending weapons to Ukraine.

    You must know something nobody outside Russia and Iran knows.

    Putin let Syria fall with ease instead of fighting for it.

    I would love for you to explain how you expected Russia to prevent the fall of Syria.

    90K people openly working together as a terrorist organization is a very significant size. Especially when you see the amount of wealth they posess.

    And what evidence is there of this organization achieving anything?

    I don’t think anybody is arguing that Zionists have influence over the US here. In fact, that was my original point. What I’m pointing out here is that the connections you’re making between Russia and Israel have no actual basis in reality. And latest Epstein drop clearly shows that Israel wanted to see regime change in Russia:

      To placate Russia, Israel told Baltic states it would block weapon transfers to Ukraine: Sources

      I would love for you to explain how you expected Russia to prevent the fall of Syria.

      Kind of the same thing but more in-depth about Russia:

      You know, that whole Jepstein story where they blackmail the elite of the world…

        Not sure what you think that proves to be honest.

        Kind of the same thing but more in-depth about Russia:

        Again, all this shows is that Israelis know that Russia can retaliate against them. This is not evidence of some conspiracy between Israel and Russia.

        You know, that whole Jepstein story where they blackmail the elite of the world…

        So literally just going to ignore the fact that Israel was seeking regime change in Russia because it doesn’t fit with your conspiracy theories?

          Not sure what you think that proves to be honest.

          … Because Israel literally imposed a ban on their weapons being sent to Ukraine at the start of the war?

          Sure seems strange that the weapons manufacterer all of Europa and NA relies on for their Apartheid genocide weapons suddenly decides to ban their weapons being sent to Russia for moral reasons.

          So literally just going to ignore the fact that Israel was seeking regime change in Russia because it doesn’t fit with your conspiracy theories?

          Israel seeks regime change everywhere because the leader doesn’t lick the heels of Israel hard enough. Unlike the USA, which gives Israel everything for free, Putin makes deals with Israel. A meeting with an exiled Russian billionaire sounds more like an opportunity to extract cash than anything else.

          Also there’s a lot of Epstein files out there to still be calling them it a “conspiracy”.

            Ok and? As I’ve already explained, the reality is that Israel realizes Russia can retaliate by sending weapons to Yemen or Iran, or to make their life difficult in Syria. So, they don’t really have much appetite openly antagonizing Russia.

            Israel seeks regime change everywhere because the leader doesn’t lick the heels of Israel hard enough. Unlike the USA, which gives Israel everything for free, Putin makes deals with Israel. A meeting with an exiled Russian billionaire sounds more like an opportunity to extract cash than anything else.

            They’re literally discussing how to replace Putin, and this guy is now fled to Ukraine. Claiming there’s collusion between Russia and Israel while Israel is literally trying to change the government in Russia is frankly beyond absurd.

            Also there’s a lot of Epstein files out there to still be calling them it a “conspiracy”.

            I’m pointing out that Epstein files contradict the conspiracy about Russia colluding with Israel here. Nowhere am I calling Epstein files a conspiracy. The files show that Israel was actively trying to regime change Russia and that it wanted to provoke a war in Ukraine.

              I don’t think we actually disagree much then. Epstein worked with multiple Zionist groups including (mostly) the Mossad.

              The Russian group just explains how Epstein could make deals with Russia to help Israel in exchange for intel or nice pictures of Trump and Bubba. There have been past instances of the Israelis giving classified American weapons systems to Russia. And other instances of Russia betraying Iran in deals with Israel

              https://www.jpost.com/defense/wikileaks-russia-gave-israel-iranian-codes/article-259954

              What the Epstein files do reveal (at least as far as I’ve seen) is Epstein not having kompromat on Russia. Though I’ve only seen bits and pieces of those millions of documents.
