A former high-ranking Israeli government official has broken his silence after prominent conservatives alleged that deceased p*dophile Jeffrey Epstein had ties to Israeli intelligence, but one prominent conservative isn’t buying what he’s saying.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Tucker Carlson on Friday night named who he believes really funded Epstein’s crimes. He boldly said he believes foreign intelligence was behind the Epstein blackmail operation.
According to Carlson, the country responsible was the Jewish State.
“No one has ever gotten to the bottom of that because no one has ever tried. And moreover, it’s extremely obvious to anyone who watches that this guy had direct connections to a foreign government. Now, no one’s allowed to say that that foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that that’s naughty,” Carlson said.
“There is nothing wrong with saying that,” Carlson continued. “There is nothing hateful about saying that. There’s nothing anti-Semitic about saying. There’s nothing even anti-Israel about saying that.”
Someone who agrees with Carlson’s assessment is CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou. Moreover, even prominent Israel defenders like former Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz conceded it was possible Israeli intelligence used the infamous child predator.
On Monday morning, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett reacted furiously to Carlson and others’ accusations on social media.
“The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false,” Bennett wrote. “Epstein’s conduct, both the criminal and the merely despicable, had nothing whatsoever to do with the Mossad or the State of Israel.”
Bennett then slammed those making the accusation as ‘liars’ who are engaging in slander against his country.
“Epstein never worked for the Mossad,” he continued. “This accusation is a lie being peddled by prominent online personalities such as Tucker Carlson pretending they know things they don’t.”
“They just make things up, say it with confidence, and these lies stick, because it’s Israel. There’s a vicious wave of slander and lies against my country and my people, and we just won’t take it anymore.”
As a former Israeli Prime Minister, with the Mossad having reported directly to me, I say to you with 100% certainty:
The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false.
Epstein’s conduct,…

But conservative journalist and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly pointed out several issues with Bennett’s denial. First, former Trump Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta, who granted Epstein a sweetheart plea deal, admitted that Epstein was an intel agent.
According to Kelly, the only two countries that made sense were America and Israel.
The U.S. Attny who spiked the case, Alex Acosta, is on record as saying Epstein was an intel agent and he was told to get rid of the prosecution. If Epstein was an agent it was clearly either for the U.S. or Israel – both deny it (what would you expect them to say?). He had… https://t.co/0eav8oaHcb
Acosta also told the Trump transition team that Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and was told to “leave it alone.”
Acosta later told DOJ’s Office of Prof. Respon. that he did not have any info Epstein was an intel asset, which contrasted w/earlier reporting that he told the Trump transition team Epstein “belonged to intelligence” & had been ordered to “leave it alone.” Also that he’d “been…
Even more damning, when Acosta was asked about Epstein being an intel asset during a press conference, he would not deny it.
Also when Acosta was asked, at a press conference in 2019 about the reporting that he’d allegedly said Epstein was an asset & he’d been told to stand down on the case (which let’s remember – he did), his pathetic non-denial denial was a classic example of deception. Go look.
Gutfeld on Trump: “We don’t deserve him” (Video)
July 14, 2025
Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld spoke with Charlie Kirk over the weekend at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa.
Gutfeld captured the stark difference between solemn leftists and joyful Trump supporters when discussing the President’s recent comments about failed comedian Rosie O’Donnell.
On Saturday, President Trump took to Truth Social and called O’Donnell a “Threat to Humanity” and said that he is giving “serious consideration” to revoking her U.S. citizenship.
Trump wrote, “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
Gutfeld shared, “With when fans of Obama talk about Obama, they talk about him in solemn terms, in serious terms. That’s so true. When people who like Trump talk about him, they’re laughing.”
“I stole this line from Michael Mallis. Whenever Trump says something, I go, ‘We don’t deserve him.’”
“No matter what he does, you can’t help but smile. When you’re defending him, it’s fun. When you’re not defending him, it’s even fun…..it’s like…”
“For example, he posted on Truth Social about stripping Rosie… What’s her name again? Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship, which is Impossible. We know it’s impossible. We know it’s hilarious, but it makes news. ”
“You see all the people on the liberal blog, social media, pulling their hair out. Autocracy. He wants to strip Rosie O’Donnell of her citizenship.”
“No, he doesn’t. He’s just sticking his finger in your eye, and we love every minute of it.”
FBI Opens Investigation into Decade of Democrat Party Antics and Misconduct – Opening Door for Appointment of Special Prosecutor
July 14, 2025
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Crossfire Hurricane
The FBI, under the direction of Director Kash Patel, is opening an investigation into a decade of Democrat Party antics and misconduct.
According to Just the News the investigation has been ongoing for several weeks now.
The investigators are looking back at Hillary Clinton’s illegal home-brew server. The investigation is expected to reveal credible information of wrongdoing ignored by the FBI.
Recall that according to the FBI in November 2016, the bureau found thousands of potentially relevant messages, including messages sent to and from Clinton herself while she was secretary of state. But the FBI reportedly found most of those emails to be personal messages or ones they had already seen.
The FBI was protecting Hillary Clinton before the 2016 election.
What is also interesting is that Jim Comey knew Attorney General Jeff Sessions was going to recuse himself from the DOJ witch hunt into Donald Trump in the Crossfire Hurricane scandal in his first week in office.
The first piece of evidence is a classified annex to a years-old inspector general probe of Hillary Clinton’s improper email server sought by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley. That annex is believed to show that credible information about possible wrongdoing was intentionally ignored by the FBI.
The second tranche of evidence was identified by former Russiagate Special Counsel John Durham in his final report. The evidence was dubbed in the report as the “Clinton plan intelligence,” and it was also placed in a classified annex kept from the American public and even many members of Congress.
Excerpts from the publicly-available and unclassified Durham report show that U.S. spy agencies were aware that Clinton’s 2016 campaign was concocting a bogus Russia collusion narrative to harm Trump’s election chances before the FBI opened its now-discredited Crossfire Hurricane probe, in part using evidence created by the Clinton campaign or offered by Clinton associates.
Maybe this time the DOJ and FBI will actually perform an honest investigation after years of dishonesty.
Better late than never.
ROGER STONE Asks President Trump to Release DOJ Court Filings in Epstein Case that the DOJ and Jim Comey’s Daughter Maurene Is Keeping Sealed
July 14, 2025
Maurene Comey, the daughter of fired FBI Head Jim Comey, is keeping Epstein documents sealed. Roger Stone asks President Trump to release these filings.
The Epstein case made headlines over the past week and it was not good for the DOJ, FBI or President Trump. It was a public relations disaster with many faithful shaking their heads and wondering what really is going on.
Roger Stone was a guest speaker at a TPUSA event in Florida this weekend. When he heard the news, he shared that he would have to redo his entire speech.
Stone presented on Sunday and in his speech Stone made a couple key statements that helped explain what was going on with the Epstein case and what should be done.
In regards to what is going on, Stone remarked that he believed Kash Patel was telling the truth when he shared that there were no Epstein records. Stone believes that the corrupt Biden regime, and in particular Christopher Wray destroyed the Epstein evidence.
When Kash Patel, our FBI Director, tells us there are no Epstein records — even though we saw with our own eyes that DVDs and hard drives were seized from Epstein’s properties — he’s telling us the truth.
I believe that evidence was destroyed by Christopher Wray and Biden’s DOJ.
Here is Stone discussing this matter.
When Kash Patel, our FBI Director, tells us there are no Epstein records — even though we saw with our own eyes that DVDs and hard drives were seized from Epstein’s properties — he’s telling us the truth.
The second and more critical action that he recommends taking place, is for President Trump to direct his AG to instruct the DOJ in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) to unseal and release the search warrants executed on Epstein’s private island and Manhattan townhouse and grand jury testimony.
These documents remain sealed by the federal prosecutors in this case, including Jim Comey’s daughter, Maurene Comey who still works at the SDNY.
EPSTEIN.
The solution is for POTUS to direct his Attorney General to instruct the interim U.S. Attorney for the SDNY to move to unseal all grand jury testimony presented when the TRUMP ADMIN. charged Epstein with child sex trafficking.
The government should unseal the search warrants executed on Epstein’s private island and Manhattan townhouse — which remain sealed pursuant to a motion filed by federal prosecutors, including Maurene Comey.
EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW IS IN THOSE DOCUMENTS.
It was the TRUMP ADMIN. — not Biden, and certainly not Obama — that moved in federal court to finally bring Epstein to justice.
Here are Stone’s remarks on this matter.
EPSTEIN.
The solution is for POTUS to direct his Attorney General to instruct the interim U.S. Attorney for the SDNY to move to unseal all grand jury testimony presented when the TRUMP ADMIN. charged Epstein with child sex trafficking.
An additional action that the DOJ should take, not mentioned in these clips from Stone’s speech yesterday, is to fire Maurene Comey.
Jim Comey’s daughter Maurene, has been involved in three of the top cases this past decade involving child sex trafficking rings. She is involved in the Epstein case. Maurene Comey was a member of the DOJ team that presented to the court in 2019 that the video of the Epstein cell on the night of his death was lost and then the next day it was miraculously found.
It was initially reported that the footage from outside of Epstein’s cell on the night of his death was missing. In December of 2019 The Daily Mail reported that the footage was found. (emphasis added below)
The missing surveillance footage of Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide attempt in jail has been found, one day after prosecutors claimed it mysteriously vanished from the prison.
On Thursday Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jason Swergold and Maurene Comey told federal judge Kenneth Karas in a court filing that the video was found.
‘Earlier today, the Government confirmed with [Metropolitan Correctional Center] staff that the Video was preserved by MCC staff,’ the statement said as per the New York Post.
Yesterday the mystery into Epstein’s death seemed to deepen when Swergold stood up in court and claimed the footage hadn’t been retained by the facility.
That video in question was footage from outside Epstein’s cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City when he attempted to take his own life on July 23.
In that attempt Epstein was found with neck injuries after he apparently tried to hang himself and was moved to suicide watch at the prison.
Two weeks later Epstein succeeded in killing himself in his cell on August 10.
On Wednesday Swergold said: ‘It is our understanding that the video no longer exists…it was not preserved.’
A judge told prosecutors Wednesday to look further as to how the footage disappeared.
Epstein’s cellmate at the time Nick Tartaglione, who was awaiting trial for four counts of murder, had formally requested that video be preserved two days after the suicide attempt as evidence.
‘I don’t know the details of how it was lost or destroyed or why it wasn’t retained when it should have been,’ Tartaglione’s lawyer Bruce Barket said Wednesday.
On Thursday upon the discovery of the footage, he said, ‘We look forward to seeing it.’
Tartaglione, a former cop, was accused of attacking Epstein the night of July 23. But he claimed he tried to save Epstein from his suicide attempt.
‘We want to be sure that all the evidence is preserved to show that Nick behaved appropriately and even admirably that evening,’ Barket said in court in Wednesday,
‘We asked for all the video and photographic evidence to be preserved, specifically this surveillance video. Now it’s gone,’ he added.
Barket noted that Tartgalione has still not been questioned about Epstein’s suicide.
Maurene Comey was also a member of the DOJ’s team that prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell.
Maurene Comey was also a member of the DOJ team that prosecuted P. Diddy who was not found guilty of child sex trafficking earlier this month.
China Calls for Peace While Escalating South China Sea Aggression
July 14, 2025

This week, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Kuala Lumpur, calling for peace in the South China Sea. At the same time, the People’s Liberation Army
Navy violated the territorial waters of both Japan and the Philippines, threatening Japan with an aircraft carrier group and firing water cannons at Filipino vessels.
The United States remains the primary enforcer of UNCLOS maritime norms, while China continues to be the most significant violator.
On June 8, 2025, a Chinese naval group led by the aircraft carrier Liaoning entered Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) near Minamitori Island, the easternmost point of Japan’s territory, for the first time.
The Liaoning was accompanied by two missile destroyers and a supply ship. After briefly entering Japan’s EEZ, the group exited the area and conducted military exercises, including fighter jet and helicopter drills.
The next day, two heavily armed Chinese coast guard vessels entered Japanese territorial waters near the disputed Senkaku Islands (known as Diaoyu in China).
According to the Japan Coast Guard, the Chinese vessels came threateningly close to a Japanese fishing boat operating within the 12-nautical-mile zone that Japan claims as its territorial waters.
Japanese patrol vessels intercepted the Chinese ships and ordered them to leave. The Chinese vessels remained in the area for at least two days, marking the third Chinese incursion into these waters this month.
Simultaneously, two more Chinese coast guard ships were detected in the contiguous zone surrounding the territorial waters, marking the 234th consecutive day of Chinese coast guard activity in the broader area.
The Chinese coast guard ships involved were equipped with deck-mounted autocannons. The Japan Coast Guard denounced the incursion as a violation of international law.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry maintains that the islands are part of China’s “inherent territory,” asserting that Chinese vessels are operating within their sovereign rights.
Last month, Chinese coast guard ships used water cannons to obstruct Philippine fisheries vessels operating within the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) near Scarborough Shoal.
Four vessels from the Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) had attempted to deliver fuel subsidies to more than 20 fishing boats.
The Chinese presence reportedly included six coast guard ships, two navy warships, and several maritime militia vessels.
The Chinese coast guard accused the Philippines of violating China’s sovereignty and said it took “necessary measures.”
However, Scarborough Shoal lies approximately 140 miles west of Luzon, well within the Philippines’ 230-mile EEZ, and nearly 700 miles from China’s nearest coast.
The Philippine government, through its National Maritime Council, condemned the actions as violations of international law and the 2016 Hague arbitral ruling.
Despite China’s rhetoric about regional peace, its actions in the South China Sea tell a different story.
China has built and militarized artificial islands within disputed waters, including areas inside the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of the Philippines and Vietnam.
These outposts, equipped with airstrips, radar systems, and missile platforms, serve as forward bases to enforce Beijing’s expansive claims under the so-called “nine-dash line”, a claim the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled in 2016 has no legal basis under international law.
China rejected the ruling, dismissing the case as political manipulation and continuing to assert control through gray-zone tactics, including the use of maritime militia, civilian vessels that operate in coordination with the Chinese military.
These forces have repeatedly harassed foreign vessels, including incidents where Chinese ships fired water cannons at Filipino boats attempting to resupply troops at the BRP Sierra Madre in Second Thomas Shoal, an area well within the Philippines’ EEZ.
Similar confrontations have occurred with Vietnamese and Malaysian vessels.
Beijing also exploits its economic and political influence to divide ASEAN and block consensus on maritime issues. Cambodia and Laos, reportedly under Chinese pressure, have repeatedly refused to endorse joint communiqués that mention the South China Sea, undermining ASEAN’s ability to present a unified stance.
At the 2025 Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual intergovernmental defense summit held in Singapore, hosted by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth addressed China’s regional behavior. He stated:
“In the South China Sea, China harasses its neighbors, many of which are here in the room today. China seeks to intimidate you in your own waters. We’ve all seen the videos and pictures of water cannons, ship-to-ship collisions, and illegal boardings at sea. We’re also seeing the illegal seizing and militarizing of lands in the South China Sea. These actions reveal a lack of respect for neighbors and they challenge sovereignty, freedom of navigation, and overflight.”
China has maritime disputes with at least six countries, primarily in the South and East China Seas, involving overlapping claims to islands, reefs, and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs).
Allowing Beijing to assert control over these areas would undermine international law, particularly UNCLOS, erode the sovereignty of smaller nations like the Philippines and Vietnam, and give China strategic military dominance in the region.
It would threaten freedom of navigation in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes, grant China access to vast natural resources, fragment ASEAN, and set a dangerous precedent for territorial expansionism, including toward Taiwan.
To counter this, the U.S. Navy must remain firmly committed to upholding maritime law.
The U.S. 7th Fleet conducts regular freedom of navigation operations (FONOPs) in the South China Sea to challenge illegal claims and assert American resolve.
Peace through strength has so far been the most effective doctrine to prevent war with China, but the threat remains that if China ever feels sufficiently strong, or believes the U.S. is sufficiently weak, Beijing will strike.
