Originally from 2021… #Epstein is rumored to have ties to #Israel as an arms dealer. Have a read: “Four separate sources told me — on the record — that #Epstein dealings in the arms world in the 1980s had led him to work for multiple governments, including the Israelis.” #gaza

The exaggerated stories the notorious financier pedophile told of his time in intelligence circles may have been at least partially true.

It’s been rumored that Epstein was an arms dealer with ties to Israel. Originally published in 2021, @rollingstone.com talks about this unknown connection to the disgraced pedophile.

A meme featuring a pickup truck on a rural road with a white flag attached, conveying a humorous take on the phrase "BE PROUD OF YOUR HERITAGE, FLY THE REAL CONFEDERATE FLAG!" The white flag, a symbol of surrender, contrasts with the message, adding a satirical twist. The scene is set against a backdrop of green fields, and the image is credited to @projectliberal. No identifiable individuals are present in the image.

In FY 2023, the average SNAP benefit for people enrolled was approximately $2,543 per year. If veterans lose access to food assistance, economic insecurity will grow.

Breaking News Consumer's Handbook

1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information. 
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
- "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
- "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't haveit.
- "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.
