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...

Let's pretend Epstein is confirmed as a Mossad asset, for a moment. It still isn't necessary for Bibi to be pulling the strings here for Trump to have plenty of reasons to want to shut down inquiry into Epstein's work. It's just conspiracy for conspiracy's sake.

Furthermore, I'm not sure what the point of this post is, other than promoting this conspiracy you've come up with. It's not funny and it just plays into antisemitic tropes but applies them to Zionists

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.”

The person I was replying to linked an article using Carlson as a primary source.

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.

You just showed how easy it was to talk about this topic without mentioning Tucker.

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.
