⚡️NEW: The Israeli Government Installed and Maintained Security System at Epstein Apartment

Security equipment and alarms were installed by the Israeli government at a notorious Manhattan residence frequented by former PM Ehud Barak.

(From Dept of Justice emails)

Israeli Gov had to clear anyone going in to Epstein’s apartment. Not townhouse - but apt where visitors would stay including women. ( this is his apartment not far from his townhouse.

Kushner’s family had maintained close links with Netanyahu for decades, mainly through his father, Charles Kushner, who had been a major donor to pro-Israeli causes. The relationship was so close that Netanyahu once stayed at the Kushner family’s house in New Jersey, according to the New York Times.

————
Despite that, Kushner had told Miller that one key to Trump’s diplomacy in his first term was that he would “make it impossible for any Israeli prime minister say no to him”.

Trump pardoned Charles Kushner on December 23, 2020

Installing it - It wasn’t Israel checking out Epstein but both Barak and Epstein recording others staying at apt.

Ryan Grim is a weekly contributor on “Breaking Points” -His contribution is called “Counter Points” He presents the left view. Breaking Points is an independent super popular podcast - you can listen on Spotify.

BREAKING POINTS - one billion views over 8,100 videos. I listen on Spotify. A good independent news podcast- no sponsors so they can cover way more than mainstream news.

14. It establishes Epstein's close connection to Ehad

Many women were trafficked to Ehad in the Epstein files. Many girls claimed he tortured them.

“Ehud Barak is the man who Epstein victims described as the most violent, the most sadistic they had to ‘service’. At least one of them landed up in hospital as a result of Barak’s brutality. He should be in jail for the rest of his life”- Andrew Feinstein

Virginia Giuffre, Jeffrey Epstein's victims said she was forced to have s*x with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak

She said he beat her so badly she thought she would die, and she begged Epstein not to send her back, but he did anyway

From her book

American teen Virginia Giuffre suffered years of abuse at the hands of Epstein and the powerful men he ‘lent her’ to after he ‘stole her’ from Trump.

Epstein “trafficked me to a man who raped me more savagely than anyone had before.”

This man was Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. She finally fled from Epstein’s clutches just after her last encounter with him.

“He repeatedly choked me until I lost consciousness and took pleasure in seeing me fear for my life.”

“I emerged from the cabana bleeding from my mouth, vagina and anus. For days it hurt to breathe and to swallow.”

“Nobody’s Girl” by Virginia GiuffreBy

'Yeah. You'll get that sometimes.'

But since the Dow is at 50,000, we shouldn't care about this at all.

“Breaking Points” covers the Epstein stuff big time. Crystal Ball of Breaking Points is one of the best. It’s all over X with copies of the files to read. If you follow independent reporters on X, you will see thousands of actual files.

People don’t realize many podcasts have way more views than mainstream news. Breaking points podcasts have a total of a billion views for 8000 podcasts. Many reporters on X, have 400 million views. Mainstream news has sponsors so they can’t go there.
