❗️ Epstein Docs Unsealed: Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew Among Big Names in First Batch

Numerous court documents identifying associates of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were made public late Wednesday.

Some of the high-profile names in the court documents include Prince Andrew, the former US president Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson and David Copperfield.

The documents in total, including material yet to be unsealed, are expected to include nearly 200 names, including some of Epstein’s accusers, prominent businesspeople, politicians and potentially more.

The documents contain excerpts of depositions taken of Maxwell and Virginia Roberts Giuffre. There is also a deposition from Johanna Sjoberg who recalled in 2016 Epstein telling her “Clinton likes them young, referring to girls.”

When asked if Clinton was a friend of Epstein’s, she said she understood Epstein had “dealings” with Clinton.

⚠️ 🇺🇸WH Spox John Kirby Claims South Africa’s 84-page Suit Accusing Israel of Genocide is “Meritless, Counterproductive, and Completely Without Any Basis in Fact Whatsoever”

In its application, South Africa states that Israel has killed a large number of Palestinians; inflicted “conditions of life intended to bring about [Palestinians’] destruction as a group”; caused mass displacement and destruction of homes; deprived Palestinians of access to adequate food, water, shelter, medical care, and sanitation; and imposed measures that obstruct Palestinians from being able to give birth.

The application places these allegations within the context of Israel’s telecommunications blackouts, restriction of fact-finding bodies, and killing of journalists in Gaza since the conflict began. 

Can anyone really believe Kirby is telling the truth?

⚠️ Some 577,000 Gazans are Suffering from ‘Catastrophic Type of Hunger, Famine’ - New Yorker

700k people worldwide are considered to be in a ‘catastrophic type of hunger’ – meaning 80% of the people in famine are in Gaza right now.

This, in its context as deliberative Israeli policy, with active support from the West, is terrifying.

🔴 "Enemy State": North Korea Moves to Redefine Relations with Seoul

The moves, which break with decades of policy, could mean Pyongyang's foreign ministry taking over comms with the South, and potentially help justify the use of nuclear weapons against Seoul in a future war. (Reuters)

Since the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a stalemate, both nations have had policies that treat each other differently than other countries.

However, Kim Jong Un has said peaceful reunification is impossible, and that his govt would make a “decisive policy change” in relations with the "enemy". He also ordered the military to be prepared to pacify and occupy the South in the event of a crisis.

⚠️ Israeli Ambassador to UK Tzipi Hotovely Claims 'Every School, Mosque and Second House in Gaza is a Target'

Asked if that’s effectively a call for the destruction of all of Gaza, she asks “do you have another solution?”

A clear call for genocide?
