The document cites a source linking Jared Kushner and a religious Jewish group accused of seeking to hijack Trump’s presidency

There it is folks.

Remember that name: Chabad-Lubavitch

declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.

The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epsteinworked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office.

The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.

“CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency,” the memo states regarding his first term.

Chabad-Lubavitch, a religious Jewish sect founded in Russia, has grown to an estimated 90,000 members. Its messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology has repeatedly been linked to hardline settler colonial politics in Palestine.

    So, good job to those of you who voted for trump because Kamala was pro-Isreal.

    You voted for the guy who’s even MORE pro-Isreal, AND now we’re getting murdered in the streets.

      We’ve always told you they are both the same, both shit. Just one is a lot worse. Harm reduction is the name of the game.

        Which ignores that these democrats were nevrer going to keep the fascists out. They are controlled opposition and everyone that doesn’t have shit for brains knows it.

        Harm reduction is taking the street and preventing these fascists to do any further damage, not voting the lesser evil villain between two corrupted parties until shit inevitably gets worst.

        Good concept but not everyone is smart enough to see it. And stupid people outnumber smart people by the masses.

        A slow loss is still a loss.

        Only stupid people convince themselves that it’s somehow a win.

      Why don’t democrats nominate candidates that actually care about the working class instead of lesser evil establishment puppets?

      There never were that many of those people. Kamala lost this one entirely on her own, with a lackluster platform and campaign. Not having an open primary of course didn’t help, either. Democrats suck right now, I’m sorry to say. Of course that’s going to depress turnout.

      And don’t point fingers at me, I did what I could. But you should know shaming people into voting for your party has never ever worked.

      Say the line, Bart! OOPS, I initially misread your post, I thought you were yelling at people who voted for neither Harris nor Trump as a principled anti-Israel position, not people who voted for Trump for supposedly being the lesser pro-Israel candidate. Obviously I didn’t vote for Trump, and obviously fuck Trump and his supporters and voters.

      Gonna leave the quote tho because it’s always One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This-o-clock.

      But the moral prohibition on siding with any administration that endorses genocide will force a different flavor of the exact same logic that centrist liberalism has depended on for so long: hold your nose and align with the least worst thing. Only the least worst thing will no longer be the mild, ethics-agnostic emptiness of modern Western liberalism, nor will it be the multitude of barbaric authoritarians and their secret prisons. It will be communal solidarity, or else nothing, a walking away from all of this. Countless otherwise pragmatic people who would in any other circumstance choose liberalism by default will instead decide none of this is worth the damage to one’s soul. They will instead support no one, vote for no one, wash their hands of any ordering of the world that results in choices no better than this. And the obvious centrist refrain—But do you want the deranged right wing to win?—should, after even a moment of self-reflection, yield to a far more important question: How empty does your message have to be for a deranged right wing to even have a chance of winning? Of all the epitaphs that may one day be written on the gravestone of Western liberalism, the most damning is this: Faced off against a nihilistic, endlessly cruel manifestation of conservatism, and somehow managed to make it close.

          That’s how they get you. “Oh atleast I’m picking the lesser evil.” Thats like going to hell but with extra steps. So you can feel self righteous while going there.

          Buddy I’m just some dude with zero power and zero ability to individually change the trajectory of this fascist country. I didn’t let these fuckers do shit. The capitalist class is fully culpable for their own crimes.

          And also what part of "…moral prohibition on siding with

          ANY

          administration that endorses

          GENOCIDE

          …" is unclear to you?

          Like one simply cannot do a genocide and ever expect literally any goodwill from me ever again, certainly not a vote, but I wouldn’t even piss on these fucks if they were on fire. And I’m not even the teeniest tiniest bit sorry if “I unconditionally refuse to support genocidaires” is a controversial opinion to you, and I literally never will be. Fuck Trump, fuck Harris, fuck Biden, fuck Obama, fuck Bush, fuck Clinton, and fuck every other president, and fuck the whole the goddamn AmeriKKKa settler project for the rest of fucking time.

            So you are ok with whatever ice is doing? Cause you were gonna get genocide no matter what, now you got ice on top of it.

              Of course I’m not okay with what ICE is doing! Biden and Obama were doing ICE too, and Harris would have done it just as hard as Trump, just in “norm-preserving” ways, as did Biden and Obama and Bush as long as ICE existed. And if Harris was elected, vote-Blue-no-matter-who liberals wouldn’t fucking care because they don’t want to abolish ICE.

      The previous administration who kamala harris was the vice president of allowed and helped israel fascist government to perpetrate a genocide where thousand kids got murdered are still getting murdered to this day

      https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-military-reported-accept-death-toll-around-70000-gaza-2026-01-30/

      Israel military recently confirmed the death tool since 2023 at 70.000 casualties.

      I doubt many people here on lemmy voted for trump, these who didn’t vote red or blue probably voted for third parties or did something more useful than voting to try to stop the genocide.
