• I’m not sure the conspiracy minded ramblings of Tucker Carlson are something one has to bear in mind at any point in their lives.

      Like, yeah, fuck Epstein, Trump, Bibi, and Zionism, but c’mon…

      Why does right wing propaganda like Tucker Carlson resonate so strongly with some of the left?

        They don’t resonate with us, nor do we pay them attention. The few instances where we agree are merely coincidental and usually for different reasons.

        Consortium News, 2020: Epstein Case: Documentaries Won’t Touch Tales of Intel Ties

        Absent from both are [Ghislaine] Maxwell’s reported links to Israeli intelligence through her father, Robert Maxwell, former owner of The New York Daily News and The Mirror newspaper in London.

        In an interview with Consortium News, former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe said Epstein did not work with Mossad. “Military intelligence was who he was working with,” said Ben-Menashe. “Big difference,” he said. “He never worked with Mossad, and Robert Maxwell never did, either. It was military intelligence.”

        Ben-Menashe claimed Robert Maxwell was Epstein’s “tie over. Robert Maxwell was the conduit [in the Iran-Contra scandal]. The financial conduit.”

            I know.

            Carlson is hard to avoid. You don’t necessarily have to seek out his opinion to be aware of it. And I wouldn’t know how “left” OP is.

                It’s not so easy. Most people—even those ostensibly on the “left”—aren’t even aware of non-corporate left media like MintPress News and Consortium News.
