Epstein, Maxwell, and Blackmail: Democracy on the Brink

Narativ with Zev Shalev (Audio)

14-01-2024 • 48 mins

This episode revisits one of the most impactful exposés we’ve ever done on The Narativ – confirming Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s industrial-scale blackmail operation as assets of Israeli and Russian intelligence. The goal was the mass compromise of American politicians and public figures to control narratives and policies for Israel and Russia’s benefit. Analysis of Epstein’s flight logs underlines the central role of both countries, with 11 flights each recorded to Moscow/St. Petersburg and Tel Aviv. We also examine key differences between Trump’s willing partnership with Epstein versus Clinton's seemingly being targeted for compromise. And explore how the Republican party increasingly resembles a Kremlin-controlled entity, likely due to the damaging information Russia holds on its members. We must most urgently recognize that democracy remains under concerted attack by sophisticated global forces, just as in 2016-2020. As 2024 approaches, this episode is a stark reminder that we never fully emerged victorious from that information war, making the coming election all the more pivotal. America’s enemies are still circling for the kill shot against our democratic system. We ignore that stark reality at our own peril. Learn more about your ad choices.
