„Warum gibt Iran nicht auf?“ – Trumps Frage zeigt das Iran-Desaster
Day 17 of the war with Iran. Wait, let me say that again: day 17.
And do you know what is happening right now in the corridors of the White House? Donald Trump is sitting in his office asking his advisors a question that changes everything: Why aren’t the Persians giving up?
The Wall Street Journal leaked it. The most powerful man in the world is surprised. I repeat: surprised. The man who said this war would end very soon. The man who claimed Iran no longer had a navy or an air force.
This man does not understand why Tehran keeps fighting. And here comes the part that kept me awake all night: his advisors are privately urging him to find an exit. Privately. That means publicly they talk about victory, but behind closed doors there is total panic. That is an admission of weakness.
Trump expected a quick victory. A repeat of his 12-day war last June. But reality looks completely different.
After 17 days, Iran is still firing missiles, has mined the Strait of Hormuz and — here’s the kicker — is exporting more oil than before the war. Plus 30%. Let that sink in.
The United States has been bombing Iran for over two weeks, allegedly hitting 6,000 targets, destroying the Iranian navy and disabling the air force. And yet Iranian oil exports are rising. How is that possible? China.
The Chinese take every barrel Tehran offers. No sanctions, no rules, just business. While Trump thought he would bring Iran to its knees, the mullahs rerouted their ships, activated new trade routes, and are making more money than before.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump keeps asking the same question in meetings: why aren’t they capitulating? His advisors have no answer. Or rather, they do have an answer, but Trump does not want to hear it.
The answer is: because the plan has failed. Because the American military can hit targets, but cannot bomb political solutions out of the sky. Because Iran is a very different opponent from Afghanistan or Iraq.
Wait, it gets worse. Trump’s public statements change daily. First unconditional surrender, then “very soon over,” then “almost nothing left to bomb.”
And now this desperate question: why aren’t they giving up? This is not strategy. This is improvisation. This is a president realizing that his biggest foreign policy gamble is spiraling out of control.
Republicans are getting nervous. Polls show that the majority of Americans oppose this war. Oil prices have surged above $100 per barrel, briefly reaching $119.
At gas stations across the United States, people are paying record prices. The midterm elections are coming, and Trump’s advisors know: if the war continues for weeks, we lose Congress.
That’s why the leak to the Wall Street Journal. That’s why the private push for an exit plan. They are trying to gently steer the president toward the exit without him losing face.
But Trump is Trump. He cannot just stop. He has to declare victory, even if there isn’t one.
So he tells the press: “We are far ahead of schedule.” That is Orwellian language. “Ahead of schedule” means, in Trump’s world: we no longer have a schedule because the original plan has collapsed.
And here is the thing: Iran knows it. The Revolutionary Guards issued a statement.
Iran will decide when the war ends.
That is a direct response to Trump’s claims. Tehran is telling the most powerful man in the world to his face: you do not control this war. We do.
And the facts prove them right.
In the first two or three quarters of his life, he had belonged to that Germany we loved—the Germany of “Dichter und Denker” (poets and thinkers)—only to end his long existence (96 years) on the side of the “Richter und Henker” (judges and executioners). Jürgen Habermas passed away on March 14. He no longer had the time or the strength to declare his support for Operation Epic Fury/Silent Holy City [sic & resic], unleashed by the well-known duo of executioners against the land that gave rise to Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Omar Khayyam, Rumi, Al-Ghazali, Suhrawardi, Al-Razi, Al-Farabi, Mulla Sadra, and… Ali Shariati. Having become a sacred cow of self-righteous but wrong-acting Germany, Habermas, shortly after October 7, 2023, committed an infamous text of unconditional support for the Zionist killers. This ultimate perversion of his own “communicative action” earned him a stinging response from an Iranian sociologist, a professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Asef Bayat, author of extremely creative works on social movements in the Mashreq and the Maghreb. We reproduce it below in lieu of an obituary, as it was first published in New Lines Magazine.-FG, Tlaxcala
Jürgen
Habermas Contradicts His Own Ideas When It Comes to Gaza
One of the world’s
most influential philosophers has weighed in on the war in Gaza. A Middle East
scholar tells him why he’s wrong
Asef Bayat, December 8, 2023
Editor’s note: Jürgen Habermas and Asef Bayat are towering global thinkers. Their books have been translated into multiple languages and are taught in universities throughout the world. Habermas is part of the pantheon of the legendary Frankfurt School of critical theory, along with the late Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse. Yet he is perhaps best known for his ideas about the “public sphere” — a realm where citizens come together to debate matters of general concern and “public opinion” is formed, which he traces back to coffeehouses and literary salons in 18th-century Europe — and as a defender of liberal democracy against its critics on both the left and the right. He is no stranger to the challenge that Bayat poses in this open letter; his very public debates and intellectual battles over many decades have made him a household name in Germany.
Bayat is a sociologist of the contemporary Middle East best known for his concept of “post-Islamism” and for his textured studies of street politics, everyday life and how ordinary people change the Middle East (the subtitle of his 2013 book, “Life as Politics”). Habermas has been widely criticized for his recent statements on the Gaza war, but what distinguishes this open letter is its immanent critique: Bayat sets out to show how Habermas fails to apply his own ideas to the case of Israel-Palestine. It is a critique from within the logic of Habermasian thought. This gives it a force that will — or should — resonate with Habermas and his defenders. It is more of an invitation than a polemic. It is an attempt to engage, and we publish it here in hopes that it will do just that.-New Lines
Dear professor
Habermas,
You may not remember
me, but we met in Egypt in March 1998. You came to the American University in
Cairo as a distinguished visiting professor to engage with the faculty,
students and the public. Everyone was enthusiastic to hear you. Your ideas on
the public sphere, rational dialogue and democratic life were like a breath of
fresh air in a time when Islamists and autocrats in the Middle East were
stifling free expression under the guise of “protecting Islam.” I recall a
pleasant conversation we had on Iran and religious politics over dinner at the
house of a colleague. I tried to convey to you the emergence of a
“post-Islamist” society in Iran, which you later seemed to experience on your
trip to Tehran in 2002, before you spoke about a “post-secular” society in
Europe. We in Cairo saw in your core concepts a great potential for fostering a
transnational public sphere and cross-cultural dialogues. We took to heart the
kernel of your communicative philosophy about how consensus-truth can be
reached through free debate.
Now, some 25 years
later, in Berlin, I read your co-authored “Principles of Solidarity” statement
on the Gaza war with more than a little concern and alarm. The spirit of the
statement broadly admonishes those in Germany who speak out, through statements
or protests, against Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza in response to
Hamas’ appalling attacks of Oct. 7. It implies that these criticisms of Israel
are intolerable because support for the state of Israel is a fundamental part
of German political culture, “for which Jewish life and Israel’s right to exist
are central elements worthy of special protection.” The principle of “special
protection” is rooted in Germany’s exceptional history, in the “mass crimes of
the Nazi era.”
It is admirable that
you and your country’s political-intellectual class are adamant about
sustaining the memory of that historic horror so that similar horrors will not
befall the Jews (and I assume, and hope, other peoples). But your formulation
of, and fixation on, German exceptionalism leaves practically no room for
conversation about Israel’s policies and Palestinian rights. When you confound
criticisms of “Israel’s actions” with “antisemitic reactions,” you are
encouraging silence and stifling debate.
As an academic, I am
stunned to learn that in German universities — even within classrooms, which
should be free spaces for discussion and inquiry — almost everyone remains
silent when the subject of Palestine comes up. Newspapers, radio and television
are almost entirely devoid of open and meaningful debate on the subject.
Indeed, scores of people, including Jews who have called for a ceasefire, have
been fired from positions, had their events and awards canceled and been
accused of “antisemitism.” How are people supposed to deliberate about what is
right and what is wrong if they are not allowed to speak freely? What happens
to your celebrated idea of the “public sphere,” “rational dialogue” and
“deliberative democracy”?
The fact is that most
of the critics and protests you admonish never question the principle of
protecting Jewish life — and please do not confuse these rational critics of
the Israeli government with the disgraceful far-right neo-Nazis or other
antisemites who must be vigorously condemned and confronted. Indeed, almost
every statement I have read condemns both Hamas’ atrocities against civilians
in Israel and antisemitism. These critics are not disputing the protection of
Jewish life or Israel’s right to exist. They are disputing the denial of
Palestinian lives and Palestine’s right to exist. And this is something about
which your statement is tragically silent.
There is not a single
reference in the statement to Israel as an occupying power or to Gaza as an
open-air prison. There is nothing about this perverse disparity. This is not to
speak of the everyday erasure of Palestinian life in the occupied West Bank and
east Jerusalem. “Israel’s actions,” which you deem “justified in principle,”
have entailed dropping 6,000 bombs in six days on a defenseless population;
well over 15,000 dead (70% of them women and children); 35,000 injured; 7,000
missing; and 1.7 million displaced — not to mention the cruelty of denying the
population food, water, housing, security and any modicum of dignity. Key
infrastructures of life have vanished.
In his dictionary “Colorful and Totalitarian”, Bremen-based sociologist Prof. Rudolph Bauer, with foresight, combines the two terms “colorful” and “totalitarian” to describe contemporary totalitarianism and, at the same time, to denounce it before it is too late. In a world where violence, militarism, restriction of freedoms, surveillance, racism, discrimination, and utter indifference and lack of empathy are on the rise, the terms Bauer cites in his critical dictionary shake us awake to think independently and critically, without letting ourselves be blinded by the colorful hues of this contemporary fascism. Dr. Rampoldi from ProMosaik interviewed the author. The critical dictionary has already been published in English. This dictionary saves us the trouble of reading many other works. It teaches us to critically question a world that, due to its diversity, appears anti-fascist but is in reality structured in a totalitarian manner.
Please explain to us the choice of the title of your book.
The title identifies the overall political trend of the countries of the Western world towards a totalitarian rule disguised as colorful. "Colorful" and "totalitarian" seem to contradict each other. Indeed, classical totalitarianism was uniform: with one party, one ideology, one leader, one people, one race, one collective, and one single destiny, namely, to rule the world. However, the contemporary totalitarianism that is emerging in front of our eyes seems to be the opposite. It is diverse and colorful like the rainbow: gender-diverse, migrant, anti-fascist and anti-racist, "self-determined", diverse and woke. It shows itself as liberal, cosmopolitan, freedom-oriented and democratic. From an external point of view, it separates itself from the ideology of retro-fascism. But the crucial element of this system of rule is totalitarianism. It censors and suppresses, segregates and demarcates, imprisons and locks out. And it is militaristically oriented towards the conquest as well as the domination of the world. By its colorfulness on the surface, the emerging totalitarian regime deceives about its true character and deeper core.
What are the main topics of the terms that appear in your dictionary?
The keywords refer to institutions, organizations, people and not least to terms and their meaning or their confusing variety of meanings. On the one hand, the keywords are related to each other by cross-references. This creates a grid of connections making us realize that we live behind the bars as if we were in captivity. In other words, there is a dense network of links in which we are involved and which we, as consumers of the daily news, are not aware of. Our ordinary thinking is parceled out. We only ever see one side of the fate cube of reality. We always see only the day-to-day events, not the general, comprehensive context. Nor do we recognize the historical contexts which have an impact up to the present and then continue into the future. The dictionary reveals present-day relationships at the horizontal level. Furthermore, the dictionary shows both vertical references to the totalitarian past and lines of development into a totalitarian future.
Milena Rampoldi, March 15, 2026
Since the outbreak of the Usraeli aggression against the
Islamic Republic of Iran I feel like the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer
when he was in the Nazi jail even if my home office in Istanbul is much more
comfortable. In his cell, Bonhoeffer started to reflect on the reasons and
roots of the brutal Hitlerian regime by understanding that the cause of it was
not the maliciousness/the evil but simply the pure and blank stupidity.
The same paradigm can be applied to the presidency of
Donald Trump and his epically furious war against the Satanic regime of Iran
while in reality it is nothing else than the brutal and headless aggression
against a sovereign State in the Mashreq.
|
“We sought repeatedly to make a deal. We tried. They
wanted to do it. They didn't want to do it again. They wanted to do it. They
didn't want to do it.” |
In
his letters written from jail, the theologian Bonhoeffer affirmed that
stupidity was a more dangerous enemy of the good than maliciousness and/or the
evil itself. For me personally, this conclusion he made has a strong impact on
how to struggle against human rights violations like the US wars against sovereign Muslim states. We experience an
important paradigm shift if we abandon the point of view according to which we
should struggle against the US-evil and if we instead say that US-stupidity is
the enemy of the sovereign Muslim
countries of the Mashreq
like stupidity is the enemy of political self-determination and
anti-colonialism/anti-imperialism.
|
“The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost
and we may have casualties, that often happens in war. We're doing this, not
for now, we're doing this for the future, and it is a noble mission.” |
However, Bonhoeffer even goes a step further in his reflections by showing that violence is not even capable of opposing to stupidity while it is an effective means when we have to oppose to evil. If we start from the assumption that Trump represents stupidity and not evil, we will understand that we have to change our strategy to oppose to his neo-imperialist children-killing phantasies in Muslim and other (Venezuela, Cuba and more) countries.
Why is stupidity so dangerous in politics? Bonhoeffer has the answer: Stupidity is put into brackets by the majority of people because many think that it is not worth of being considered. And this is a mistake because we then do not understand the essence of stupidity which – if we put it into the words of Bonhoeffer himself – is not an intellectual but a “human” defect.
If
we analyse the phenomenon of stupidity from a psychological and then
sociological point of view, we understand a fundamental characteristic of it: stupidity appears in groups more than
in isolated persons. Trump and his stupidity are part of a system, of an
American way of life where taxpayers finance stupidity-driven attacks of girl
schools, museums and hospitals in Iran.
|
“But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I
said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.” |
If we listen to what Bonhoeffer suggests we need to move from the isolated puppet Donald to the “Epstein” system he is part of. This means that stupidity is not a psychological but becomes a sociological issue. This is why we should establish the so-called “sociology of stupidity” to analyse Trump neo-imperialism to overcome the US occupation of Muslim and other countries.
In a neo-colonialist regime like the United States, the power of the ruling class of the power-hungry AIPAC neo-Zionists of needs the stupidity of the blind US taxpayers to survive because stupidity and neo-imperialist megalomania is the exact opposite of moral courage and struggle against injustice. Stupid people believe in the narrative of the ruling class. And this results in the persistence of a U.S. neo-colonialism shaped by the Zionist 2.0 regime driven by Eretz Israel phantasies. Here in the following, I would like to translate the section taken from Bonhoeffers letters written from jail entitled “Stupidity”[1] into English to let readers think about it, to re-shape their own moral courage as we need a war against stupidity and not against evil:
“Stupidity is a more
dangerous enemy of good than evil. Evil can be protested against, it can be
exposed, it can be prevented by force, if necessary, evil always carries the
seed of self-destruction in that it leaves at least a feeling of unease in
people. However, we are defenceless when it comes to stupidity. Neither
protests nor violence can achieve anything here; using reasoning to oppose
stupidity is useless; facts
that contradict one's own prejudices need simply not be believed - in such
cases the stupid person even becomes critical - and if these facts are
unavoidable, they can simply be brushed aside as meaningless and isolated
cases. In
contrast to the wicked person, the stupid person is completely satisfied with
himself; indeed, he even becomes dangerous by becoming easily irritated and
going on the attack. We will never again try to convince the stupid
person by reasoning since it is pointless and dangerous.
In order to know how we can deal with
stupidity, we must try to understand its nature. This much is certain, that
stupidity is not essentially an intellectual, but a human defect. There are
intellectually extraordinarily agile people who are stupid, and intellectually
very slow-witted people who are anything but stupid. We make this discovery to
our surprise in certain situations. We get the impression not so much that
stupidity is an innate defect, but that under certain circumstances people are
made stupid, or allow themselves to be made stupid. We also observe that people
who live in isolation and solitude show this defect less often than people and
groups of people who tend to socialise or are condemned. So perhaps stupidity
seems to be less of a psychological problem than a sociological one.
Stupidity is a special form of the
influence of historical circumstances on people, a psychological side effect of
certain external conditions. A closer look reveals that every strong external
development of power, be it political or religious, strikes a large proportion
of people with stupidity. Indeed, it seems as if this is a
sociological-psychological law. The power of some needs the stupidity of
others. The process here is not that certain - for example, intellectual -
human dispositions suddenly atrophy or fail, but that under the overwhelming
impression of the development of power, man is robbed of his inner independence
and that he now - more or less unconsciously - refrains from finding his own
behaviour to the resulting life situations. The fact that the stupid person is
often stubborn should not obscure the fact that the person is not independent.
When talking to this person, you can almost feel that you are not dealing with
the person itself, but with slogans, mottoes etc. that have become powerful
over it. The person is under a spell, blinded, has been abused and mistreated
in its own being. Having thus become a will-less instrument, the stupid person
will also be capable of all evil and at the same time incapable of recognising
this as evil. Here lies the danger of diabolical abuse. This will enable people
to be ruined forever.
But it is also quite clear here that it
is not an act of instruction but only an act of liberation that could overcome
stupidity. We
will have to come to terms with the fact that, in the vast majority of cases,
genuine inner liberation will only be possible after external liberation has
preceded it; until then, we will have to forego all attempts to convince the
stupid. Incidentally, this situation will also explain why, under such
circumstances, we endeavour in vain to know what "the people"
actually think and why this question is so superfluous for those who think and
act responsibly - always only under the given circumstances. The word of
the Bible that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10) says
that the inner liberation of man to live responsibly before God is the only
real overcoming of stupidity.
Incidentally, these thoughts about
stupidity are comforting in that they do not allow us to consider the majority
of people stupid under all circumstances. It will really depend on whether
those in power expect more from stupidity or from people's inner independence
and cleverness.”
The
simple conclusion is that neo-colonialist Trumpism and neo-imperialist
Donaldism are a serious sociological problem interwoven with stupidity
appearing as evil. And from stupidity you can just be freed, stupidity cannot
be opposed to with violence, and this is exactly the case when we look at the occupation
of the Middle East by the Usraeli army.
While the Zionist Israel 2.0 needs implosion, self-destruction and
deconstruction, Trumpism and Donaldism need an international war against
stupidity.

Antônio Dasmortes, 15/3/2026
The USraeli attack launched on February 28 against
Iran – named Epic Fury on the US side and Silent Holy City on the
Israeli side – can be considered the second major attack in history planned and
partly executed by artificial intelligence, the first being the kidnapping of
the Venezuelan president and his wife on January 3 in Caracas. In this
operation, the Gotham and AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform)
systems from the company Palantir Technologies played a central role, acting as
the indispensable nervous system that allowed the AI “Claude” to analyze
massive data and contribute to the planning of the strikes.
The table below summarizes the distinct but
complementary roles of Gotham and AIP in this operation.

To better understand their interaction, one can
compare the entire system to a human body:
The specific contributions of Gotham and AIP
Their roles were decisive in several key phases of
Operation “Epic Fury”/”Silent Holy City”:
In summary, Gotham served as the foundation by
transforming an ocean of raw data into actionable intelligence, while AIP
provided the secure environment and necessary protocols for the AI Claude to
analyze this classified information and actively contribute to the strategic
planning of the 11-minute and 23-second lightning strike against Iran.

characteristics of the new USraeli war machine.
On March 30, 2026, the solidarity exhibition "Kalanlar Filistin" [What remains of Palestine] closes its doors after three months in Istanbul Harbiye. Milena Rampoldi of ProMosaik visited this exhibition for us and reports on her impressions.
Milena Rampoldi, March 14, 2026
At first glance, this exhibition organized by the Turkish cultural association Kalyon Kültür would be seen as the narrative of the Zionist destruction of Palestinian life (family, school, childhood, culture) and thus as a material presentation of the Zionist genocide. However, what really counts here, if you are in the middle of the exhibition and experience it, is not the brutal destruction that you perceive on the surface, but what is “left” and lives on after the destruction.
It is about everything
that Zionism cannot hit, namely the soul, resistance and humanity. In fact, the
title of this innovative exhibition, which somehow turns classical museum
pedagogy and its dialectical paradigms completely upside down, could be
translated as “What remains of Palestine”.
What remains and stays
after the bombings and airstrikes of the Israeli military, the symbol and
essence of new colonialism in the Middle East, are human dignity, the spirit of
resistance and the Palestinian humanity of an oppressed people, but who are by
no means the victims of this destruction.
The visitor enters into
an empathic dialogue with the war reality of Palestine, which is “recreated” in
the exhibition premises. The visitor loses all distance, his empathy is the
result of the abolition of any dialectic between his safe and stable existence
in Istanbul-Harbiye and the genocide in Gaza. However, the visitor is not there
to perceive Palestine as an object in the sense of Edward Said and to pity it
as a do-gooder, but to appear as a witness for Palestine and to leave the
exhibition as a witness.
Like the testimony in the
Qur'an, the testimony of a historical event is not a right, but an obligation.
And this commitment leads to ethical responsibility. The visitor interacts with
the destruction and does not get out of his responsibility number. Since the
obligation to stand up for Palestine is not a choice of a sunny day in Harbiye,
but the ethical obligation of a life as an ethical thinking, witnessing and
acting person. As it says so beautifully on the website of the exhibition: “This
exhibition is not a visit; it is an attitude.”
What remains after the
Zionist destruction is the ontological “remnant,” the remnant that opposes any
ontological brutality.
“Destruction is not a
moment here, but a structure that has gained continuity; trauma is the new form
of everyday life.”
Trauma gets normalized in
Palestine. Palestinian life in Gaza is the remnant of this traumatized
normality. However, the trauma is now also an everyday aspect of the visitor,
who has turned into a responsible confidant/witness for life.
“The visitors are not
invited to emotional relief, but to an ethical debate. Here, not compassion,
but testimony is expected. Because testimony results in responsibility.”
It is not about the
catharsis of the visitor, as it is the case in a Greek tragedy, but about the
inconvenient knowledge of the Zionist genocide in Gaza.
What remains are silent
people and silent objects that stay immovably in their place as witnesses of
destruction. This can be seen in particular in the rooms where the kitchen, the
school class and the Palestinian home are shown after the Israeli bombings. The
material remains, a piece of wall, an empty pot, a school desk, a
blackboard..., and these objects are silent.
The first victims are
always the children. For the Zionist genocide is above all a child genocide.
Therefore, the figure of Handala is also central in this exhibition.
Handala is the famous
cartoon character of the Palestinian artist Naji al-Ali from 1969, which has
very strong autobiographical traits. The murdered children of Gaza and the
children who, like the cartoonist himself, became surviving refugees are the
symbol of testimony that remains and defies brutal destruction.
“What can be seen here is
not a loss, but irretrievable time.”
“The barbed wire at the
centre of the installation transforms the border from a geographical line into
a permanent experience imprinted in body and memory. This installation is not
conceived as an aesthetic composition; it wants the visitor to immediately feel
the interruption between today and yesterday and its ethical significance. The
work calls for observation, not pity.”
The trauma is, as mentioned,
the normality. War is continuity and the labyrinth of the exhibition is a
constant reality. The visitor walks into the labyrinth. He remains there
voluntarily and experiences the darkness of imprisonment acoustically as a
permanent experience. The children teach the visitor what is war - acoustically
and visually. The cries of the children are imprinted in the mind and soul of
the witness spectator. At the same time, the guided tour of the exhibition
illuminates the various movements on the grey walls of the labyrinth. Violence
and brutality become part of everyday life and are no exceptions. You do not
escape from this labyrinth, you stay, listen and painfully learn the
resistance, which then remains as an echo once you left the exhibition.
When the bombs are
asleep, we too can sleep
Is there chocolate in
paradise?
Allah is with us
“What is happening here
is not a deviation, but order itself.”
The visitor can't get out
of the situation. This is not an escape room, this is his testimony of
Palestine, the Zionist colony of the Middle East of children like Handala.
The other room, where the
names of the martyrs are read, performs the same function. Here, too, the
witness does not flee, but remains. The dialectic between testimony and witness
is abolished. We are in the post-dialectical space of the Palestinians' response
to the Zionist State and its outdated dialectics.
Archdiocese of Chicago, 7/3/2026
As more than 1,000 Iranian men, women and children lay dead after days of bombardment from U.S. and Israeli missiles, the official White House X account on Thursday evening posted a video of scenes from popular action movies spliced with actual strike footage from their war on Iran. The clip was captioned: “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY.”
This horrifying portrayal demonstrates that we now live in an era when the distance between the battlefield and the living room has been drastically reduced. The moral crisis we are facing is not just a matter of the war itself, but also how we, the observers, view violence, for war now has become a spectator sport or strategy game. Indeed, the prediction market Kalshi recently paid a $2.2 million settlement related to users who were unhappy with how the company paid out the $55 million wagered on Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's ouster after he was killed.
Journalists now use the term “gamifying” the war to describe this dynamic. What a profound moral failure, for gamifying strips away the humanity of real people. Let’s not forget, a “hit” isn’t putting points on the board; it’s a grieving family whose suffering we ignore when we prioritize entertainment, and profit, over empathy.
Our government is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment, as if it’s just another piece of content to be swiped through while we’re waiting in line at the grocery store. But, in the end, we lose our humanity when we are thrilled by the destructive power of our military. We become addicted to the “spectacle” of explosions. And the price of this habit is almost unnoticeable, as we become desensitized to the true costs of war. But the longer we remain blind to the terrible consequences of war, the more we are risking the most precious gift God gave us: our humanity.
I know that the American people are better than this. We have the good sense to know that what is happening is not entertainment but war, and that Iran is a nation of people, not a video game others play to entertain us.

Buonasera a tutti e ben ritrovati e benvenuti a 100 Giorni da Leoni. Oggi è martedì 10 marzo. Sono le 19:07. Questa sera torniamo con Franco Fracassi.
Ciao Franco, come stai? Benvenuto.
Ciao, bene bene.
Che canzone era questa?
Questa è una canzone tradizionale ebraica in realtà, poi è stata rifatta in
versione techno. Ma questa qui è un'antica canzone ebraica, anche se in realtà
non così antica, perché probabilmente la parte melodica è stata fatta tanti
anni fa. Però in realtà è una canzone del 1958, anzi nel 1979, perché è stato
fondato a Parigi Una corale di ragazzini ebrei francesi e questa era la canzone
Gam Gam, composta da Elie Botbol.
È diventata la colonna sonora del film Jona che visse nella balena,
diretta da Ennio Morricone. Negli anni Novanta poi è diventata famosa come hit
musicale in discoteca. Io ero piccolo ma mi ricordo che nel 95-96 era uscita.
Ovviamente non c’entra nulla, anzi in realtà c’entra con quello di cui
parleremo stasera.
Franco, questa è una puntata… prepariamoci già. Mi sono messo gli occhiali
così l’algoritmo non ci frega.
Purtroppo si parla di Epstein e voi direte: ma chi è Epstein?
Partiamo dalla fine della vicenda Epstein per poi tornare indietro e capire
tutta la storia.
Allora io partirei proprio da oggi, da quello che è successo in questi
giorni.
Il 28 febbraio di quest’anno il presidente degli Stati Uniti insieme al
primo ministro israeliano ha deciso di muovere guerra all’Iran. Una guerra
apparentemente senza senso, senza capo né coda. Molti si sono chiesti: perché?
Come è possibile?
Allora torniamo indietro di tre giorni.
Il 25 febbraio a Ginevra erano in corso trattative tra Iran e Stati Uniti.
Trattative che andavano avanti da diversi giorni e che secondo chi vi
partecipava stavano andando alla grande.
Quando escono dalle trattative la sera del 25, sia iraniani che
statunitensi dicono:
«Stiamo trovando molti punti di accordo. Adesso dobbiamo passare all’ultima
fase. Ci sposteremo da Ginevra a Vienna dove c’è l’organizzazione per il
controllo delle armi atomiche e lì faremo l’ultima fase della trattativa.»
Il giorno dopo invece Trump annuncia che le trattative sono fallite perché
non ci siamo proprio trovati.
Dice esattamente l’opposto di quello che avevano detto i suoi mediatori.
I mediatori erano presenti. Trump no.
Due giorni dopo gli Stati Uniti bombardano.
Che cosa era successo il giorno prima?
Il 25 febbraio, mentre stavano trattando a Ginevra, sul portale dove sono
caricati tutti i file desecretati di Epstein compaiono 82 file.
Tra questi ce ne sono 18 che riguardano direttamente Donald Trump.
Questi file appaiono e qualche ora dopo spariscono.
Io me li sono letti tutti perché qualcuno li aveva salvati prima che
sparissero.
C’è la denuncia di una ragazza che all’epoca dei fatti aveva 13 anni.
Parliamo degli anni Ottanta.
Lei racconta in modo molto dettagliato di essere stata più volte nella casa
newyorkese di Trump e di aver incontrato vari personaggi.
In questi incontri era presente un costruttore molto amico di Epstein.
Nel racconto la ragazza afferma che in quattro occasioni differenti Trump
avrebbe abusato di lei.
Questi file spariscono.
Il giorno dopo Trump sostanzialmente dichiara guerra all’Iran.
Perché parto da questo episodio?
Perché secondo me è il nocciolo del problema.
L’affare Epstein si può riassumere così:
Epstein non era una persona qualsiasi.
Epstein era un agente del Mossad.
Tutte le sue proprietà — la casa di New York, quella di Parigi, la
proprietà nel New Mexico e l’isola nelle Isole Vergini — erano monitorate
centimetro per centimetro.
Ovunque c’erano telecamere e microfoni.
Tutte le persone che hanno incontrato Epstein in questi luoghi sono state filmati,
registrati e fotografati.
Chi ha fatto tutto questo?
Due società di sicurezza:
Verint Systems
NSO Group
Sono aziende create da ex membri dell’Unità 8200, l’unità di spionaggio
elettronico dell’esercito israeliano.
Per gestire questa enorme quantità di dati sarebbe stato usato anche il
software Pegasus, capace di analizzare enormi quantità di informazioni e
incrociarle.
In pratica il Mossad spiava tutti.
E poi passava all’incasso.
Il ricatto.
Quali erano questi ricatti?
Non lo sappiamo.
Ma probabilmente alcuni di questi ricatti hanno influenzato decisioni
politiche molto importanti.
Allora, partendo dal presupposto che tutto questo sia corretto, tu
preferiresti passare da pedofilo o ammazzare decine di migliaia di persone il
giorno dopo? Perché è una domanda che a me è venuta spontanea.
Io non lo so. È ovvio che passare per pedofilo è una cosa spaventosa, però
credo che il rimorso che ti rimane se hai un minimo di empatia verso il
prossimo — l’uccisione volontaria e immotivata di decine di migliaia di persone
— è qualcosa che ti distrugge dentro.
Però il punto è che queste cose sono state fatte.
Noi non sappiamo chi siano le decine, le centinaia o le migliaia di persone
che negli ultimi 35-40 anni sono state messe sotto ricatto.
Non sappiamo chi sono.
Non sappiamo che tipo di ricatto è stato fatto.
Non sappiamo se hanno accettato o meno.
E poi bisogna capire una cosa.
Non si parla semplicemente di qualcuno che tradisce la moglie con una
prostituta.
Ci sono livelli diversi.
C’erano quelli che andavano con donne adulte prostitute.
C’erano quelli che andavano con bambini o bambine.
C’erano quelli che facevano altre cose ancora, anche con adulti.
E non è che il fatto che uno abbia 18 o 20 anni cambi molto se tu stai
torturando qualcuno.
Perché sono state fatte cose di tanti livelli differenti.
Adesso la domanda è: da dove recuperavano queste ragazze?
Da tanti posti.
Negli Stati Uniti principalmente da ambienti sociali molto difficili.
Ragazzine con famiglie complicate, situazioni di disagio.
Quando ti trovi in quelle condizioni sei molto più vulnerabile.
Molte di queste ragazze sono state adescate così.
Alcune sono riuscite a scappare.
Altre sono rimaste intrappolate nel sistema per anni.
E alcune sono diventate addirittura reclutatrici.
Perché entri in un meccanismo psicologico devastante.
Epstein diceva sempre alle ragazze che lui era una persona potentissima.
Nelle sue case c’erano fotografie con presidenti degli Stati Uniti, grandi
finanzieri e personaggi famosi.
Questo intimidiva moltissimo.
Tutte le vittime hanno raccontato la stessa cosa:
«Io avevo paura di denunciarlo perché lui poteva distruggermi.»
Negli Stati Uniti recuperavano ragazze così.
Ma non solo negli Stati Uniti.
Un altro luogo importante era l’Ucraina.
Lì c’era un sistema organizzato attraverso agenzie di modelle.
Due agenzie in particolare fornivano ragazze.
Spesso maggiorenni, ma non sempre.
Molte provenivano da orfanotrofi o da situazioni molto difficili.
Ragazze orfane.
Perché così nessuno le cercava.
Queste ragazze venivano fornite a Epstein.
Sappiamo dell’Ucraina.
Sappiamo della Francia, dove c’erano altre agenzie coinvolte.
Sappiamo degli Stati Uniti.
Probabilmente esisteva anche una rete in America Latina, perché molte
ragazze venivano dal Brasile o dal Perù.
Quindi probabilmente esisteva un sistema internazionale.
Poi c’è la questione dell’isola di Epstein.
Perché quell’isola?
Perché non fare le stesse cose sulla terraferma?
L’isola si trova nelle Isole Vergini.
I Caraibi sono uno dei centri del potere mondiale.
Lì avvengono due cose fondamentali:
I principali
centri sono:
Le Isole Vergini sono una zona dove operano contemporaneamente:
L’isola di Epstein era piccola, isolata e fortemente protetta.
Nessuno poteva avvicinarsi.
C’erano guardie armate.
Era un luogo dove si poteva fare qualunque cosa senza testimoni.
Secondo alcune testimonianze sull’isola succedevano molte cose diverse.
C’erano persone che andavano lì per fare sesso.
Altri per torturare persone.
Altri per uccidere persone.
Altri ancora semplicemente per riunioni politiche o finanziarie.
Un giardiniere dell’isola raccontò che molte persone arrivavano lì
semplicemente per incontrarsi e parlare.
Quindi l’isola aveva diversi livelli di utilizzo.
Ma il punto centrale non era Epstein.
Il punto centrale era Ghislaine Maxwell.
Secondo me la chiave di tutto è lei.
Ghislaine Maxwell è la figlia di Robert Maxwell.
Robert Maxwell era uno degli uomini più potenti del mondo.
Controllava media nel Regno Unito, negli Stati Uniti e in Australia.
Era anche, secondo molte ricostruzioni, una delle più importanti spie del
Mossad.
Robert Maxwell aveva un potere enorme.
Era l’uomo che aveva mediato incontri storici durante la Guerra Fredda.
Per esempio tra Nixon e l’Unione Sovietica.
Oppure tra Nixon e Mao in Cina.
Immaginate il livello di potere.
Robert Maxwell preparò sua figlia Ghislaine a prendere il suo posto.
La portava sempre con sé.
Le insegnava tutto.
E a un certo punto le disse:
«Devi conoscere questa persona.
Diventerai la sua compagna e la sua socia.»
Quella persona era Jeffrey Epstein.
Ghislaine Maxwell ha sempre raccontato di aver conosciuto Epstein dopo la
morte del padre.
Ma in realtà si conoscevano da quattro anni.
Robert Maxwell aveva già preparato tutto.
Oggi Ghislaine Maxwell è in prigione negli Stati Uniti.
Attraverso i suoi avvocati ha fatto sapere una cosa molto interessante.
Ha detto:
«Se mi date l’immunità totale, io racconto tutto.»
Cioè:
E lei racconterà tutto quello che sa.
Ora la domanda è:
perché nessuno accetta?
Trump ha dato la grazia a molte persone.
Ma non a lei.
Poi c’è la questione dei servizi segreti.
La CIA, il Mossad, l’MI6.
Non sono una sola entità.
Sono organizzazioni enormi.
La CIA ha circa 15.000 dipendenti diretti più migliaia di collaboratori.
Il Mossad circa 12.000 più molti altri collaboratori.
Queste organizzazioni fanno parte di quello che viene chiamato deep state.
Il deep state è la parte dello Stato che non cambia mai.
I governi cambiano.
I presidenti cambiano.
Ma alcune strutture restano.
I servizi segreti hanno un potere enorme.
Secondo Fracassi una parte del deep state americano e britannico è
fortemente influenzata dal sionismo revisionista.

ES Buenas noches a todos y bienvenidos de nuevo a 100
Giorni da Leoni.. Hola Franco, ¿cómo estás? Bienvenido. Hola, bien, bien. ¿Qué canción era esa? Esta es una canción tradicional judía en realidad,
luego la rehicieron en versión techno. Pero esta es una antigua canción
judía, aunque en realidad no tan antigua, porque probablemente la parte
melódica se hizo hace muchos años. Pero en realidad es una canción de 1958,
bueno de 1979, porque se fundó un coro de niños judíos franceses en París y
esta era la canción Gam Gam, compuesta por Elie
Botbol. Se convirtió en la banda sonora de la película Jona
que vivió en la ballena, dirigida por Ennio Morricone. En los años
noventa luego se hizo famosa como éxito musical en las discotecas. Yo era
pequeño pero recuerdo que salió en el 95-96. Obviamente no tiene nada que ver, en realidad sí
tiene que ver con lo que hablaremos esta noche. Franco, este es un episodio... preparémonos ya. Me
puse las gafas para que el algoritmo no nos engañe. Desafortunadamente, hablamos de Epstein y diréis:
¿pero quién es Epstein? Partamos del final del caso Epstein para luego
volver atrás y entender toda la historia. Entonces, yo partiría justo de hoy, de lo que ha
pasado estos días. El 28 de febrero de este año, el presidente de los
Estados Unidos junto con el primer ministro israelí decidió hacer la guerra a
Irán. Una guerra aparentemente sin sentido, sin pies ni cabeza. Muchos se
preguntaron: ¿por qué? ¿Cómo es posible? Entonces, retrocedamos tres días. El 25 de febrero en Ginebra, estaban en curso
negociaciones entre Irán y Estados Unidos. Negociaciones que llevaban varios
días y que, según los participantes, iban de maravilla. Cuando salen de las negociaciones la noche del 25,
tanto iraníes como estadounidenses dicen: "Estamos encontrando muchos puntos de acuerdo.
Ahora tenemos que pasar a la fase final. Nos trasladaremos de Ginebra a
Viena, donde está la organización para el control de armas atómicas, y allí
haremos la fase final de la negociación." Al día siguiente, Trump anuncia que las
negociaciones han fracasado porque no nos entendimos en absoluto. Dice exactamente lo contrario de lo que habían dicho
sus mediadores. Los mediadores estaban presentes. Trump no. Dos días después, Estados Unidos bombardea. ¿Qué había pasado el día anterior? El 25 de febrero, mientras negociaban en Ginebra, en
el portal donde están subidos todos los archivos desclasificados de Epstein
aparecen 82 archivos. Entre estos, hay 18 que conciernen directamente a
Donald Trump. Estos archivos aparecen y unas horas después
desaparecen. Yo los leí todos porque alguien los había guardado
antes de que desaparecieran. Está la denuncia de una chica que en la época de los
hechos tenía 13 años. Hablamos de los años ochenta. Ella cuenta de manera muy detallada haber estado
varias veces en la casa neoyorquina de Trump y haber conocido a varios
personajes. En estos encuentros estaba presente un constructor,
muy amigo de Epstein. En el relato, la chica afirma que en cuatro
ocasiones diferentes Trump abusó de ella. Estos archivos desaparecen. Al día siguiente, Trump declara sustancialmente la
guerra a Irán. ¿Por qué parto de este episodio? Porque según yo es el meollo del problema. El caso Epstein se puede resumir así: Epstein no era una persona cualquiera. Todas sus propiedades --- la casa de Nueva York, la
de París, la propiedad en Nuevo México y la isla en las Islas Vírgenes ---
estaban vigiladas centímetro a centímetro. En todas partes había cámaras y micrófonos. Todas las personas que se encontraron con Epstein en
estos lugares fueron filmadas, grabadas y fotografiadas. ¿Quién hizo todo esto? Dos empresas de seguridad: Verint Systems Son compañías creadas por exmiembros de la Unidad
8200, la unidad de inteligencia electrónica del ejército israelí. Para gestionar esta enorme cantidad de datos,
también se habría utilizado el software Pegasus, capaz de analizar enormes
cantidades de información y cruzarlas. En la práctica, el Mossad espiaba a todos. Y luego pasaban a cobrar. El chantaje. ¿Cuáles eran esos chantajes? No lo sabemos. Pero probablemente algunos de estos chantajes han
influido en decisiones políticas muy importantes. Entonces, partiendo de la base de que todo esto es
correcto, ¿tú preferirías pasar por pedófilo o matar a decenas de miles de
personas al día siguiente? Porque es una pregunta que se me ocurrió
espontáneamente. Yo no lo sé. Es obvio que pasar por pedófilo es algo
espantoso, pero creo que el remordimiento que te queda si tienes un mínimo de
empatía hacia el prójimo --- la matanza voluntaria e inmotivada de decenas de
miles de personas --- es algo que te destruye por dentro. Pero el punto es que estas cosas se han hecho. No sabemos quiénes son las decenas, las centenas o
los millares de personas que en los últimos 35-40 años han sido sometidas a
chantaje. No sabemos quiénes son. Y luego hay que entender una cosa. No se trata simplemente de alguien que engaña a su
mujer con una prostituta. Hay niveles diferentes. Estaban los que iban con mujeres adultas
prostitutas. Estaban los que iban con niños o niñas. Estaban los que hacían otras cosas aún, incluso con
adultos. Y no es que el hecho de que alguien tenga 18 o 20
años cambie mucho si estás torturando a alguien. Porque se hicieron cosas de muchos niveles
diferentes. Ahora la pregunta es: ¿de dónde reclutaban a estas
chicas? De muchos sitios. En Estados Unidos, principalmente de entornos
sociales muy difíciles. Chicas jóvenes con familias complicadas, situaciones
de vulnerabilidad. Cuando te encuentras en esas condiciones, eres mucho
más vulnerable. Muchas de estas chicas fueron atraídas así. Algunas lograron escapar. Y algunas incluso se convirtieron en reclutadoras. Porque entras en un mecanismo psicológico
devastador. Epstein siempre decía a las chicas que él era una
persona poderosísima. En sus casas había fotografías con presidentes de
Estados Unidos, grandes financieros y personajes famosos. Esto intimidaba muchísimo. Todas las víctimas han contado lo mismo: "Yo tenía miedo de denunciarlo porque él podía
destruirme." En Estados Unidos reclutaban chicas así. Pero no solo en Estados Unidos. Otro lugar importante era Ucrania. Allí había un sistema organizado a través de agencias
de modelos. Dos agencias en particular proporcionaban chicas. A menudo mayores de edad, pero no siempre. Muchas provenían de orfanatos o de situaciones muy
difíciles. Chicas huérfanas. Porque así nadie las buscaba. Estas chicas eran proporcionadas a Epstein. Sabemos de Ucrania. Sabemos de Francia, donde había otras agencias
involucradas. Sabemos de Estados Unidos. Probablemente existía también una red en América
Latina, porque muchas chicas venían de Brasil o Perú. Por lo tanto, probablemente existía un sistema
internacional. Luego está la cuestión de la isla de Epstein. ¿Por qué esa isla? ¿Por qué no hacer las mismas cosas en tierra firme? La isla está situada en las Islas Vírgenes. El Caribe es uno de los centros del poder mundial. Allí ocurren dos cosas fundamentales:
Los
principales centros son:
Las Islas Vírgenes son una zona donde operan
simultáneamente:
La isla de Epstein era pequeña, aislada y
fuertemente protegida. Nadie podía acercarse. Había guardias armados. Era un lugar donde se podía hacer cualquier cosa sin
testigos. Según algunos testimonios, en la isla sucedían muchas
cosas diferentes. Había gente que iba allí para tener relaciones
sexuales. Otros para torturar personas. Otros para matar personas. Otros más simplemente para reuniones políticas o
financieras. Un jardinero de la isla contó que muchas personas
llegaban allí simplemente para encontrarse y hablar. Por lo tanto, la isla tenía diferentes niveles de
uso. Pero el punto central no era Epstein. El punto central era Ghislaine Maxwell. Según yo, la clave de todo es ella. Ghislaine Maxwell es la hija de Robert Maxwell. Robert Maxwell era uno de los hombres más poderosos
del mundo. Controlaba medios de comunicación en el Reino Unido,
Estados Unidos y Australia. Era también, según muchas reconstrucciones, uno de
los espías más importantes del Mossad. Robert Maxwell tenía un poder enorme. Era el hombre que había mediado encuentros
históricos durante la Guerra Fría. Por ejemplo, entre Nixon y la Unión Soviética. O entre Nixon y Mao en China. Imagínense el nivel de poder. Robert Maxwell preparó a su hija Ghislaine para
ocupar su lugar. Siempre la llevaba consigo. Le enseñaba todo. Y en un momento dado le dijo: "Debes conocer a esta persona. Esa persona era Jeffrey Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell siempre ha contado que conoció a
Epstein después de la muerte de su padre. Pero en realidad, se conocían desde hacía cuatro
años. Robert Maxwell ya había preparado todo. Hoy Ghislaine Maxwell está en prisión en Estados
Unidos. A través de sus abogados, ha hecho saber algo muy
interesante. Ella dijo: "Si me dan inmunidad total, yo lo cuento
todo." Es decir:
Y ella contará todo lo que sabe. Ahora la pregunta es: ¿por qué nadie acepta? Trump ha indultado a muchas personas. Pero no a ella. Luego está la cuestión de los servicios secretos. La CIA, el Mossad, el MI6. No son una sola entidad. Son organizaciones enormes. La CIA tiene alrededor de 15,000 empleados directos
más miles de colaboradores. El Mossad alrededor de 12,000 más muchos otros
colaboradores. Estas organizaciones forman parte de lo que se llama
el deep state o estado profundo. El deep state es la parte del Estado que nunca
cambia. Los gobiernos cambian. Pero algunas estructuras permanecen. Los servicios secretos tienen un poder enorme. Según Fracassi, una parte del deep state
estadounidense y británico está fuertemente influenciada por el sionismo
revisionista. Personas

EN Good evening everyone, and welcome back to 100
Giorni da Leoni. Hi Franco, how are you? Welcome. Hi, good, good. What song was that? This is actually a traditional Jewish song, later
remade in a techno version. But this one is an ancient Jewish song, although
actually not that ancient, because the melodic part was probably made many
years ago. Actually, it's a song from 1958, well in 1979, because a choir of
French Jewish children was founded in Paris and this was the song Gam Gam,
composed by Elie
Botbol. It became the soundtrack for the film Jonas Who
Lived in the Whale, directed by Ennio Morricone. In the nineties, it then
became famous as a dance club hit. I was little but I remember it came out in
'95-'96. Obviously, it has nothing to do with it, actually it
does relate to what we'll talk about tonight. Franco, this is an episode... let's prepare
ourselves already. I put on my glasses so the algorithm doesn't trick us. Unfortunately, we're talking about Epstein and
you'll say: but who is Epstein? Let's start from the end of the Epstein story and
then go back and understand the whole story. So, I would start right from today, from what has
happened these days. On February 28th of this year the President of the
United States together with the Israeli Prime Minister decided to wage war on
Iran. A seemingly senseless war, without rhyme or reason. Many asked
themselves: why? How is it possible? So, let's go back three days. On February 25th in Geneva, negotiations were
underway between Iran and the United States. Negotiations that had been going
on for several days and which, according to those involved, were going great. When they come out of the negotiations on the
evening of the 25th, both Iranians and Americans say: "We are finding many points of agreement. Now
we need to move to the final phase. We will move from Geneva to Vienna where
the organization for the control of atomic weapons is, and there we will do
the final phase of the negotiation." The next day, however, Trump announces that the
negotiations have failed because we just didn't see eye to eye. He says exactly the opposite of what his mediators
had said. The mediators were present. Trump was not. Two days later, the United States bombs. What had happened the day before? On February 25th, while they were negotiating in
Geneva, on the portal where all of Epstein's declassified files are uploaded,
82 files appear. Among these, there are 18 that directly concern
Donald Trump. These files appear and a few hours later they
disappear. I read them all because someone had saved them
before they disappeared. There is the complaint of a girl who was 13 years
old at the time of the events. We're talking about the eighties. She recounts in great detail having been several
times in Trump's New York home and having met various characters. In these meetings, a builder who was a close friend
of Epstein was present. In the story, the girl states that on four different
occasions Trump abused her. These files disappear. The next day Trump essentially declares war on Iran. Why do I start with this episode? Because in my opinion, it is the heart of the
problem. The Epstein affair can be summarized like this: Epstein was not just anybody. All his properties --- the New York house, the one
in Paris, the property in New Mexico, and the island in the Virgin Islands
--- were monitored centimeter by centimeter. Everywhere there were cameras and microphones. All the people who met Epstein in these places were filmed,
recorded, and photographed. Who did all this? Two security companies: Verint Systems These are companies created by former members of Unit
8200, the electronic intelligence unit of the Israeli army. To manage this enormous amount of data, the software
Pegasus was also reportedly used, capable of analyzing huge amounts of
information and cross-referencing it. In practice, the Mossad spied on everyone. And then they moved to collect. Blackmail. What were these blackmails? We don't know. But probably some of these blackmails have
influenced very important political decisions. So, starting from the assumption that all this is
correct, would you prefer to be seen as a pedophile or kill tens of thousands
of people the next day? Because it's a question that came to me
spontaneously. I don't know. It's obvious that being seen as a
pedophile is a terrible thing, but I believe the remorse that remains if you
have a minimum of empathy towards others --- the voluntary and unjustified
killing of tens of thousands of people --- is something that destroys you
inside. But the point is that these things have been done. We don't know who the tens, the hundreds, or the
thousands of people who have been blackmailed in the last 35-40 years are. We don't know who they are. And then you have to understand something. It's not simply about someone cheating on their wife
with a prostitute. There are different levels. There were those who went with adult prostitutes. There were those who went with children, boys or
girls. There were those who did other things as well, even
with adults. And it's not that someone being 18 or 20 changes
much if you are torturing someone. Because things of many different levels were done. Now the question is: where did they recruit these
girls from? From many places. In the United States, mainly from very difficult
social environments. Young girls with complicated families, situations of
hardship. When you find yourself in those conditions, you are
much more vulnerable. Many of these girls were lured in like that. Some managed to escape. And some even became recruiters. Because you enter a devastating psychological
mechanism. Epstein always told the girls that he was a very
powerful person. In his houses, there were photographs with US
presidents, major financiers, and famous people. This intimidated them greatly. All the victims told the same thing: "I was afraid to report him because he could
destroy me." In the United States, they recruited girls like
that. But not only in the United States. Another important place was Ukraine. There, there was an organized system through modeling
agencies. Two agencies in particular supplied girls. Often of age, but not always. Many came from orphanages or very difficult
situations. Orphaned girls. Because that way no one would look for them. These girls were supplied to Epstein. We know about Ukraine. We know about France, where there were other
agencies involved. We know about the United States. There was probably also a network in Latin America,
because many girls came from Brazil or Peru. So, there was probably an international system. Then there's the issue of Epstein's island. Why that island? Why not do the same things on the mainland? The island is located in the Virgin Islands. The Caribbean is one of the centers of world power. Two fundamental things happen there:
The main
centers are:
The Virgin Islands are an area where the following
operate simultaneously:
Epstein's island was small, isolated, and heavily
protected. No one could get close. There were armed guards. It was a place where you could do anything without
witnesses. According to some testimonies, many different things
happened on the island. There were people who went there to have sex. Others to torture people. Others to kill people. Still others simply for political or financial
meetings. A gardener from the island recounted that many
people arrived there simply to meet and talk. So the island had different levels of use. But the central point wasn't Epstein. The central point was Ghislaine Maxwell. In my opinion, she is the key to everything. Ghislaine Maxwell is the daughter of Robert Maxwell. Robert Maxwell was one of the most powerful men in
the world. He controlled media in the United Kingdom, the
United States, and Australia. He was also, according to many reconstructions, one
of the most important Mossad spies. Robert Maxwell had enormous power. He was the man who mediated historic meetings during
the Cold War. For example, between Nixon and the Soviet Union. Or between Nixon and Mao in China. Imagine the level of power. Robert Maxwell prepared his daughter Ghislaine to
take his place. He always took her with him. He taught her everything. And at a certain point he told her: "You must meet this person. That person was Jeffrey Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell has always said she met Epstein
after her father's death. But in reality, they had known each other for four
years. Robert Maxwell had already prepared everything. Today Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison in the United
States. Through her lawyers, she has communicated something
very interesting. She said: "If you give me total immunity, I'll tell
everything." That is:
And she will tell everything she knows. Now the question is: why doesn't anyone accept? Trump has pardoned many people. But not her. Then there's the issue of the secret services. The CIA, the Mossad, MI6. They are not a single entity. They are enormous organizations. The CIA has about 15,000 direct employees plus
thousands of collaborators. The Mossad about 12,000 plus many other
collaborators. These organizations are part of what is called the deep
state. The deep state is the part of the State that never
changes. Governments change. But some structures remain. The secret services have enormous power. According to Fracassi, a part of the American and
British deep state is strongly influenced by revisionist Zionism. People

FR Bonsoir à
tous, bon retour et bienvenue dans 100 Giorni da Leoni. Salut
Franco, comment ça va ? Bienvenue. Salut,
bien, bien. C'était
quelle chanson ? C'est une
chanson traditionnelle juive en réalité, elle a ensuite été reprise en
version techno. Mais celle-ci est une ancienne chanson juive, même si en fait
pas si ancienne, car la partie mélodique a probablement été faite il y a de
nombreuses années. En réalité, c'est une chanson de 1958, enfin de 1979,
parce qu'une chorale d'enfants juifs français a été fondée à Paris et c'était
la chanson Gam Gam, composée par Elie Botbol. Elle est
devenue la bande originale du film Jonas qui vivait dans la baleine,
réalisé par Ennio Morricone. Dans les années quatre-vingt-dix, elle est
ensuite devenue célèbre comme tube en discothèque. J'étais petit mais je me
souviens qu'elle était sortie en 95-96. Évidemment,
ça n'a rien à voir, en fait ça a à voir avec ce dont nous parlerons ce soir. Franco,
c'est un épisode... préparons-nous déjà. J'ai mis mes lunettes pour que
l'algorithme ne nous piège pas. Malheureusement,
on parle d'Epstein et vous direz : mais qui est Epstein ? Partons de
la fin de l'affaire Epstein pour ensuite revenir en arrière et comprendre
toute l'histoire. Alors, je
partirais justement d'aujourd'hui, de ce qui s'est passé ces jours-ci. Le 28
février de cette année, le président des USA, accompagné du Premier ministre
israélien, a décidé de faire la guerre à l'Iran. Une guerre apparemment sans
sens, sans queue ni tête. Beaucoup se sont demandés : pourquoi ? Comment
est-ce possible ? Alors,
revenons trois jours en arrière. Le 25
février à Genève, des négociations étaient en cours entre l'Iran et les USA.
Des négociations qui duraient depuis plusieurs jours et qui, selon les
participants, se passaient à merveille. Quand ils
sortent des négociations le soir du 25, tant les Iraniens que les Américains
disent : « Nous
trouvons de nombreux points d'accord. Maintenant, nous devons passer à la
dernière phase. Nous nous déplacerons de Genève à Vienne, où se trouve
l'organisation pour le contrôle des armes atomiques, et là nous ferons la
dernière phase de la négociation. » Le
lendemain, Trump annonce que les négociations ont échoué parce que nous ne
nous sommes tout simplement pas entendus. Il dit
exactement le contraire de ce qu'avaient dit ses médiateurs. Les
médiateurs étaient présents. Trump non. Deux jours
plus tard, les USA bombardent. Que
s'était-il passé la veille ? Le 25
février, pendant qu'ils négociaient à Genève, sur le portail où sont
téléchargés tous les fichiers déclassifiés d'Epstein, 82 fichiers
apparaissent. Parmi
ceux-ci, il y en a 18 qui concernent directement Donald Trump. Ces
fichiers apparaissent et quelques heures plus tard, ils disparaissent. Je les ai
tous lus parce que quelqu'un les avait sauvegardés avant qu'ils ne
disparaissent. Il y a la
plainte d'une fille qui avait 13 ans à l'époque des faits. Nous parlons des
années quatre-vingt. Elle
raconte de manière très détaillée avoir été plusieurs fois dans la maison
new-yorkaise de Trump et y avoir rencontré divers personnages. Lors de ces
rencontres, un promoteur immobilier, très ami d'Epstein, était présent. Dans son
récit, la fille affirme qu'à quatre reprises différentes, Trump aurait abusé
d'elle. Ces
fichiers disparaissent. Le
lendemain, Trump déclare essentiellement la guerre à l'Iran. Pourquoi je
pars de cet épisode ? Parce que
selon moi, c'est le cœur du problème. L'affaire
Epstein peut se résumer ainsi : Epstein
n'était pas une personne quelconque. Toutes ses
propriétés --- la maison de New York, celle de Paris, la propriété au
Nouveau-Mexique et l'île dans les îles Vierges --- étaient surveillées
centimètre par centimètre. Partout, il
y avait des caméras et des micros. Toutes les
personnes qui ont rencontré Epstein dans ces lieux ont été filmées,
enregistrées et photographiées. Qui a fait
tout cela ? Deux
sociétés de sécurité : Verint
Systems Ce sont des
entreprises créées par d'anciens membres de l'Unité 8200, l'unité de
renseignement électronique de l'armée israélienne. Pour gérer
cette énorme quantité de données, le logiciel Pegasus aurait également été
utilisé, capable d'analyser d'énormes quantités d'informations et de les
recouper. En
pratique, le Mossad espionnait tout le monde. Et ensuite,
ils passaient à l'encaissement. Le
chantage. Quels
étaient ces chantages ? Nous ne le
savons pas. Mais
probablement, certains de ces chantages ont influencé des décisions
politiques très importantes. Alors,
partant du principe que tout cela est correct, tu préférerais passer pour un
pédophile ou tuer des dizaines de milliers de personnes le lendemain ? Parce
que c'est une question qui m'est venue spontanément. Je ne sais
pas. C'est évident que passer pour un pédophile est une chose effrayante,
mais je crois que le remords qui te reste si tu as un minimum d'empathie
envers autrui --- le fait de tuer volontairement et sans motif des dizaines
de milliers de personnes --- est quelque chose qui te détruit de l'intérieur. Mais le
fait est que ces choses ont été faites. Nous ne
savons pas qui sont les dizaines, les centaines ou les milliers de personnes
qui, au cours des 35-40 dernières années, ont été soumises à un chantage. Nous ne
savons pas qui elles sont. Et puis il
faut comprendre une chose. Il ne
s'agit pas simplement de quelqu'un qui trompe sa femme avec une prostituée. Il y a différents
niveaux. Il y avait
ceux qui allaient avec des femmes adultes prostituées. Il y avait
ceux qui allaient avec des enfants, garçons ou filles. Il y avait
ceux qui faisaient d'autres choses encore, même avec des adultes. Et ce n'est
pas parce qu'une personne a 18 ou 20 ans que ça change grand-chose si on
torture quelqu'un. Parce que
des choses de plusieurs niveaux différents ont été faites. Maintenant,
la question est : d'où recrutaient-ils ces filles ? De nombreux
endroits. Aux USA ,
principalement dans des milieux sociaux très difficiles. Des jeunes
filles issues de familles compliquées, de situations de précarité. Quand on se
trouve dans ces conditions, on est beaucoup plus vulnérable. Beaucoup de
ces filles ont été attirées comme ça. Certaines
ont réussi à s'échapper. Et
certaines sont même devenues recruteuses. Parce qu'on
entre dans un mécanisme psychologique dévastateur. Epstein
disait toujours aux filles qu'il était une personne très puissante. Dans ses
maisons, il y avait des photographies avec des présidents des USA , de grands
financiers et des personnages célèbres. Cela les
intimidait énormément. Toutes les
victimes ont raconté la même chose : « J'avais
peur de le dénoncer parce qu'il pouvait me détruire. » Aux USA ,
ils recrutaient des filles comme ça. Mais pas
seulement aux USA . Un autre
lieu important était l'Ukraine. Là-bas, il
y avait un système organisé via des agences de mannequins. Deux
agences en particulier fournissaient des filles. Souvent
majeures, mais pas toujours. Beaucoup
venaient d'orphelinats ou de situations très difficiles. Des filles
orphelines. Parce
qu'ainsi, personne ne les cherchait. Ces filles
étaient fournies à Epstein. Nous savons
pour l'Ukraine. Nous savons
pour la France, où d'autres agences étaient impliquées. Nous savons
pour les USA . Il y avait
probablement aussi un réseau en Amérique latine, car beaucoup de filles
venaient du Brésil ou du Pérou. Donc, il y
avait probablement un système international. Ensuite, il
y a la question de l'île d'Epstein. Pourquoi
cette île ? Pourquoi ne
pas faire les mêmes choses sur le continent ? L'île est
située dans les îles Vierges. Les
Caraïbes sont l'un des centres du pouvoir mondial. Deux choses
fondamentales s'y produisent :
Les
principaux centres sont :
Les îles
Vierges sont une zone où opèrent simultanément :
L'île
d'Epstein était petite, isolée et fortement protégée. Personne ne
pouvait s'en approcher. Il y avait
des gardes armés. C'était un
endroit où l'on pouvait faire n'importe quoi sans témoins. Selon
certains témoignages, il se passait beaucoup de choses différentes sur l'île. Il y avait
des gens qui y allaient pour avoir des relations sexuelles. D'autres
pour torturer des personnes. D'autres
pour tuer des personnes. D'autres
encore simplement pour des réunions politiques ou financières. Un
jardinier de l'île a raconté que beaucoup de gens arrivaient là simplement
pour se rencontrer et discuter. Donc l'île
avait différents niveaux d'utilisation. Mais le
point central n'était pas Epstein. Le point
central était Ghislaine Maxwell. Selon moi,
elle est la clé de tout. Ghislaine
Maxwell est la fille de Robert Maxwell. Robert
Maxwell était l'un des hommes les plus puissants du monde. Il
contrôlait des médias au Royaume-Uni, aux USA et en Australie. Il était
aussi, selon de nombreuses reconstitutions, l'un des plus importants espions
du Mossad. Robert
Maxwell avait un pouvoir énorme. C'était
l'homme qui avait servi de médiateur lors de rencontres historiques pendant
la guerre froide. Par
exemple, entre Nixon et l'Union soviétique. Ou entre Nixon
et Mao en Chine. Imaginez le
niveau de pouvoir. Robert
Maxwell a préparé sa fille Ghislaine à prendre sa place. Il
l'emmenait toujours avec lui. Il lui
apprenait tout. Et à un
moment donné, il lui a dit : « Tu dois
rencontrer cette personne. Cette
personne était Jeffrey Epstein. Ghislaine
Maxwell a toujours raconté avoir rencontré Epstein après la mort de son père. Mais en
réalité, ils se connaissaient depuis quatre ans. Robert
Maxwell avait déjà tout préparé. Aujourd'hui,
Ghislaine Maxwell est en prison aux USA . Par
l'intermédiaire de ses avocats, elle a fait savoir quelque chose de très
intéressant. Elle a dit
: « Si vous
me donnez l'immunité totale, je raconte tout. » C'est-à-dire
:
Et elle
racontera tout ce qu'elle sait. Maintenant,
la question est : pourquoi
personne n'accepte ? Trump a
gracié beaucoup de personnes. Mais pas
elle. Ensuite, il
y a la question des services secrets. La CIA, le Mossad, le MI6. Ils ne
forment pas une seule entité. Ce sont
d'énormes organisations. La CIA
compte environ 15 000 employés directs plus des milliers de collaborateurs. Le Mossad
environ 12 000 plus beaucoup d'autres collaborateurs. Ces
organisations font partie de ce qu'on appelle le deep state. Le deep
state, c'est la partie de l'État qui ne change jamais. Les
gouvernements changent. Mais
certaines structures restent. Les
services secrets ont un pouvoir énorme. Selon
Fracassi, une partie du deep state américain et britannique est fortement
influencée par le sionisme révisionniste. Des
personnes comme :
Ce pouvoir
