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.”

        Someone mentioned “what if Epstein list is a distraction” and it’s making more sense now. Israel is trying to take over America then the world and enforce facism… not so far fetched anymore.

        I mean one is a documented fact, and the other is a conspiracy theory democrats were spreading that’s now widely known to be a hoax?

        Also, people really need to get their conspiracy theories on who is controlling Putin straight. Is it Dugin, is it some weird Jewish sect that’s virtually unknown in Russia, is it the aliens?

          It’s mentioned that Putin has pictures of Trump blowing Bubba as well. It might be a give and take relation. Russia helps Israel in exchange for influence by groups like this over the US. It would explain some weird moves by Trump such as threatening to invade Greenland and blowing up NATO. But connecting all the dots is always easy in hindsight when all the facts are availible. It’s all still too vague right now.

          is it some weird Jewish sect that’s virtually unknown in Russia

          Apparently they have 90.000 members which is a significant size. And Epstein was very much a Jewish surpremacist according to recently released leaks, showing he believed Goyim were subhuman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPSTV_YszvA

            90k members in a country of 143 million people is not a significant size. There’s also no actual evidence of Russia working with Israel. In fact, Russia’s main ally in the region is Iran which is a mortal enemy of Israel. You don’t need insane conspiracy theories to explain why Trump wants Greenland and why the US is pulling out of NATO. There are obvious explanations for both.

            Trump taking over Greenland would instantly put him in history books, and anything else he does will be irrelevant. This is the one thing he’ll be remembered for. Being incredibly vain, this is an obvious move for him to try and secure his spot in history.

            Meanwhile, NATO ceased having any relevance for the US after it became clear that NATO lost the war in Ukraine. The original plan was to put massive sanctions on Russia, have Ukraine hold out for a while, and try to crash Russian economy to effect regime change. Then, the west would partition Russia, put in puppet regimes, extract resources, and surround China from the west. This was literally the plan that was spelled out in a paper by RAND. Of course, it didn’t turn out like that, which is incidentally is one of the risks RAND listed. Russia managed to successfully reorient its economy towards the Global South and to kick start domestic industries. Now, Russia is outproducing all of NATO militarily, and it’s clear that Russia will win the war.

            So, Europe has no value for the US at this point because NATO cannot defeat Russia. The US doesn’t see Russia as a threat to itself, it’s no longer ideological opposition the way USSR was. The real threat from the US perspective is China because it’s an alternative system that’s now proving itself to be superior. The US is cutting its losses in Europe, so it can retrench and prepare for a confrontation with China that it is planning.

            This is also basically spelled out in the 2026 National Defense Strategy that was just published https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-2026-us-defense-strategy-is-a

    Honestly, this one leak seems to tie things up too neatly. Suspiciously neatly, specially if you have “problematic” preconceptions. Like, Trump is compromised by an ex-Mossad agent, who’s also the world sex-traficking kingpin, through Trump’s Jewish son-in-law, and it all ties back up to a Russia-based organisation led by a Putin advisor? It fits too perfectly into the “Trump is an anomaly” narrative. I’d be happy to be proven wrong, but I don’t trust this one.

      It all checks out to me. What’s much stranger is why Genocide Joe and Holocaust Harris were so unconditionally supportive of Israel
