      starting to sound like a hooker piss video is the least offensive thing he might have done, considering that’d be atleast somewhat consensual right?

    On one hand this sounds plausible, but on the other the article cites the Daily Mail, which is far as I’m concerned isn’t the most credible source of factual information. I’ll hold my judgement until this is corroborated by more reliable sources.

      Sounds like homeslice was playing every angle to me… selling secrets to the Israeli government on the side, working for the oligarchs as his main gig, and boffing Maxi-max just for fun. Truly a multitasker of the lowest order.

      Fuck me… I sound mad as a hatter. Happy Sunday y’all. God bless America 🪨🇺🇸🦅

          I mean… dude might have just liked bony MILFs, but IMHO it still takes an above average juggler to keep that many huge balls in the air 😉

        selling secrets to the Israeli government on the side

        I don’t think it was on the side. The Israelis, the Brits, and the Americans were his primary clientele.

        Bob Barr’s father - one of the OG CIA guys under Dulles - was the guy who recruited him out of school. And Robert Maxwell was deep in with MI5 when he started seeing Ghislaine.

      I was reading an article recently mentioning how Russia keeps tabs on its Jewish population through some Israeli org. Lemme go find it.

      Edit: Hmmm can’t find it again. Might be in my search history when I get home. But there was a clear link between Russia and Israeli intelligence.

    websites with anti-fake sections don’t smell reputable to me

    edit: i think i’m quibbling over semantics. i’d call it rus-prop or something, but ask 5 interpreters for the same thing interpreted and you’ll get 18 different interpretations.

      It’s a Ukrainian government outlet. So definitely keen to highlight anything negative about Russia.

      Can you expand on this? What does “anti-fake” mean to you, what does it mean to them? Is this something a lot of news outlets have? Is this the only one? I’ve never heard of this and I’m confused.

        See I’m confused by it too. I clicked on the link and there’s an anti fake section. Dude says it’s Ukrainian gov so I’ll give it a grain of salt but I’m not sure.

        The section is more visible on desktop than mobile, that may be the thing

          The articles under the “anti-fake” heading seem to mostly be about illuminating and countering Russian propaganda efforts, Russian disinformation campaigns, Russian media subversion, etc.

          “Anti-fake” is a term that has apparently been applied to official legislative efforts to counter propaganda, disinfo, and media subversion around the world. I hadn’t heard the term before, but I’m not seeing anything inherently suspect about it, under the circumstances.

          Maybe it’s just an appropriate response to the times.
