I have an alternative theory. The Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell kompromat is a depreciating asset as deepfakes technology become more realistic and widely distributed, so Israel wants to get rid of all their leftover enemies *now*, before they completely lose influence.

That is extremely possible. Wow. You should totally write that up in full. My paper on the post evidence world FWIW: https://philpapers.org/rec/SERPEW

This sounds intriguing. I think I'm starting to understand what you mean as I re-read a few times, but if you're of a mind to accommodate, I wouldn't mind reading the high-school-level explanation of this theory. The one where the correct lines between the correct dots are drawn in a bit for the slow ones?

It's not about being slow, it's more like dialect tweaking or just context inclusion. Happy to help: TLDR

Over time the ability for people currently being blackmailed by mossad via media evidence of those people committing crime goes down. Because over time deepfakes get, better quality output, better known as a technique, and thus more plausible as an excuse to wider varieties of people.

This is more complicated by the people being blackmailed knowing the quality level and type of evidence mossad is holding and for what audience. So diffrent blackmail has diffrent expiration speed.

If all mossad is holding is blurry pictures porno of you, their grip is slipping fast. But if they have bank records of you getting airline short stock payouts from 911, that'll last another decade.

The reason this is important now is because we can assume that mossad has basically all of congress under control this way, also trump and his cabinet. But that won't stay the case.

So his argument was this cross section of blackmail targets was rapidly shrinking.

As I think about this it makes me wonder if that's also maybe why Epstein died, or was even in jail in the first place. He found his empire slipping away underneath him. Mossad maybe decided it was time to cash it all in, call in all the favors and make an all or nothing gamble, and he resisted saying he'll just keep adapting and collecting new footage forever, but at that point they can make other arguments, like my points about humanoid labor and organic secular iranian rebellion.

Does that help?

Update: Wrote a full post, and the implications are bigger and more general. https://innomen.substack.com/p/the-depreciating-asset-theory-of

What a fantastic analysis. So much more thoughtful and insightful than the typical surface-level analyses that will predominate in the media. This makes an enormous amount of sense.
