      this is like asking what ‘dirt’ the british raj had on the royal family, it’s a colony. A special colony that is testing out every policy they want to import to the first world

          It’s been directly stated by a former Israeli spy/Mossad agent Ari Ben-Menashe, as well as other bits here and there.

          There have also been allegations that Ghislaine’s father worked for Israel as well, Ben-Menashe asserting that Mossad ultimately assassinated him shortly after he attempted to blackmail them.

          As others have pointed out though (which I kind of agree with), the bigger picture is that Israel doesn’t really ‘need’ to blackmail the US as they do a lot of ‘work’ that the US would otherwise be doing, sometimes serving as a testbed.

        Accepting the framing of distinct nation-states might hinder more than help in understanding this cyberpunk neoliberal era. The concept of national sovereignty is mostly an obstacle to the circle of ghouls who wield both states, though they bank on it cynically here and there. The entity is the drill bit and the US is the motor in the drill, and neither can continue the process of extraction without the other.
