The recent release of more Epstein files only provide more evidence about just how close former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak and billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein were to each other, despite Barak’s protestations to the contrary.
Epstein is now widely acknowledged, even by one of his own friends and a current Trump official, as having used blackmail against powerful people — or, in the words of the New York Times, “keeping notes on some of his contacts” and “revel[ing] in claiming to know his friends’ secrets” and how they “might empower him.”
The NYT is a honeytrap for liberals who can’t admit they are conservatives that feeds its victims whatever narrative the 1% desire, which in this case is sweeping the Epstein files underneath the rug and desperately ignoring the massive role of Israel in this.
liberals? I was being pressured to read it at a conservative college. i never viewed it as a “liberal” newspaper (just a murdoch one) but i see things through a skewed lens
So, they might try to cover it up by saying he was “spying” on them. This might or might not be true. Did he force them to do all these things they did? No? Then this just makes it look like “yeah, I did some things that are illegal/perverted/I don’t like to be public/…, but it wasn’t my fault but the fault of the guy who uncovered it!”
The NYT is just reporting what’s ‘fit to print’. Unless there’s verified proof of actual blackmail this description seems apt. Saying you have information on people and you may use it is not blackmail, as that would require a direct request.
If I say I have notes on powerful people and say that empowers me, that’s bragging. Not blackmail, because those people might not even know.
If I were to say it to those powerful people, it could be perceived as threatening. But it’s not blackmail, as I don’t demand anything.
If I were to use those notes to get something done: that’s blackmail.
😂 God the NYT is such trash.

I think the NYT has always just been a mouthpiece for the elite. It has a class position much more than it has a political position.
As the US ruling class gives itself over to it’s own unhinged stupidity, so goes the NYT.

Completely random that one of the owners of the NYT has a house in stolen Palestinian land.

They’re describing blackmail, they’re just too cowardly to name what they’ve described.
If someone has notes on the secrets of powerful people and claims to use those secrets to empower themself, that person is engaging in blackmail.
