Yet again @sarahkendzior.blsky.social lays it all for us. “The same families appear, again and again, in a transnational crime network that profits off war. …the Iran War can only remind one of Epstein and Maxwell, for many of the same people tied to them are also tied to this war.”

Who inherited the multi-national child trafficking/corruption/espionage network? There’s no evidence it was eliminated. It is still happening. If you read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social her books, you’d know many of the criminals names.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Interesting note (that I don’t believe many people ever discuss), but there is a Rupert connection with Jared and Ivanka that I think is intriguing. From “Hiding in Plain Sight” by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social
From “Hiding in Plain Sight” by Sarah Kendzior 

FYI - Numbers in (38) are documented footnotes.

“As of 2019, no such accountability has come, and that should not surprise anyone. Kushner does not need to fear the law when his father-in-law can rewrite it. That is how life works in a dynastic kleptocracy. That is how life works now in the United States of America.

Prior to Trump's campaign, Kushner tended to be portrayed as a supporting player in the endless series of puff pieces about the fashionable Ivanka. A 2008 breakup of the couple, who began dating in 2005 and married in 2009, was in part remedied by right-wing media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his then wife, Wendi Deng, who seemed to have great interest in unifying two white-collar crime families in matrimony. The owner of Fox News, the New York Post, and other right-wing media properties, Murdoch became a mentor to Kushner after Kushner bought the Observer. Meanwhile Deng, a New York socialite, befriended Ivanka, who was over a decade her junior. (38) Following the breakup, Deng invited them separately to the Murdoch family yacht, where they were reunited. (39) Ivanka and Jared soon wed, while Deng went on to divorce Murdoch, allegedly date Putin during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, and take vacations in Eastern Europe with her old friend Ivanka. (40) Murdoch later insisted that Deng was a Chinese spy, a claim backed up by US intelligence agencies. (41)

These events seem, in retrospect, foreboding and strange. All of the players in this little love story eventually became subjects of the federal probe into election interference, with several suspected of espionage. Corruption in the federal government has become expected to some degree, but a president's social circle being implicated in multiple criminal and espionage plots spanning the course of several decades is not normal. And the refusal of the press and state officials to treat it as abnormal is part of the problem.”
