The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As
@[email protected] reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. 🧵

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May
The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office
Those who most loudly assert their patriotism are always the first to sell us down the river. Both Johnson and Nigel Farage were in active discussions with Bannon, for whom Brexit was a major prize. Bannon was feeding intelligence back to Epstein, who also wanted the UK out of the European Union.
It's a reminder that Brexit had nothing to do with our interests. It was an elite project backed by extreme rightwing billionaires and their concierges, many of whom had no vote or standing in this country. Yet it was packaged as patriotism by the very people collaborating with foreign interests.
It's all part of the same story: these political manipulations sit alongside the industrial-scale abuse and rape of women and children by the Epstein network. Ordinary humans are simply objects to them, to be conned, exploited, extracted, destroyed and discarded as convenience dictates.
Don't imagine for one moment that it ended with Epstein. Treating human beings as counters in a board game is what the super-rich do. Every. Day. It is fundamental to the model. The politicians they support and fund are those who implement their cruel desires.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Epstein obviously wasn’t the only nexus enabling the super rich to indulge their sadism and sexual incontinence. The illusion is that he was a puppeteer in all this and not just one of many leeches to the actually powerful. Where are the rest of the Epsteins? Who are they?
@Alsy @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
To get an idea of who is included in the Epstein Class, just look at who donates to Tufton Street-type think tanks & who donates to conservative political parties.
Also, the tax evaders in the Pandora Papers, Paradise Papers & Lux Leaks.

Mapped: Donald Trump’s Transatlantic Anti-Green Network
As Donald Trump takes his oath of office to become the 47th president of the United States, his second term comes at an ever-more critical time for climate change. Climate scientists have warned that 2024 was the hottest year on record, and without dramatic action to cut greenhouse gas emissions, global pledges to limit warming […]
