In this video, we dig into the Putin–Epstein connection and the claims swirling around it—then separate what’s asserted from what’s actually supported by documents and reporting. We walk through the information ecosystem: RT-style framing versus what the records suggest, allegations about honey-trap pipelines and strategic kompromat, and why certain names and institutions keep appearing in the same orbit.
We also look at how this story gets laundered through international coverage, what lawmakers are saying about the FBI and related figures, and why the “1,000+ mentions” talking point matters (and how to think about it responsibly). Finally, we widen the lens to the broader geopolitical moment—why this is resurfacing now, what it may be distracting from, and how to keep your footing when the headlines are designed to trigger outrage instead of understanding.
