Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox: Saying Goodbye to a Very Handsome Man

Last week an old friend of mine died. His name was Gary Cook. We met here in Byron Bay, when I was 23. He would have been in his early 30s. He was handsome. And funny. And weird. And self-involved. He used to come to Ringos, where I worked as a waitress. He’d sing to himself, bludge cigarettes, and shine up the serviette holder. He loved looking at himself. He’d laugh and say, ‘God, I’m a handsome man,’ and then he’d laugh this really infectious laugh

The latest tranche of the Epstein files reveals how extensive Epstein’s network really was and how it snared people of significance and power, from scientists to politicians to influencers.

Frequently, the text of Epstein’s emails uses the term ‘goy’ or the plural ‘goyim’ to speak about non-Jews, with the assumption, in my opinion, that the goyim exist to serve Jewish interests.

I think that Epstein exemplified Zionist and white supremacism.

It seems clear, to me, that he was working for Mossad, the Israeli Intelligence Service. Ghislaine Maxwell, his partner, was the daughter of Robert Maxwell, who was also, I believe, a Mossad operative.

It seems abundantly clear to me that Epstein and Maxwell were at the centre of a honey pot trap in which the rich and powerful were lured to have sex with underage girls.

No doubt they are scurrying now to hide their illicit activities.

One of Epstein’s closest friends was none other than the former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, who, before he became prime minister, was head of Israeli Intelligence.

So, to me, the evidence is in that Epstein’s global empire was a Mossad operation, which explains the astounding pro-Israel attitudes and behaviours of governments around the world.

Palestinian poet Bassem Tamimi had his visa cancelled in 2017 because it was thought his visit would damage social cohesion.

But now the Albanese government seems to think that a visit by Israeli President Isaac Herzog, [who made statements after the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack, which critics, and some UN officials, allege amount to inciting genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity], would not have this effect.

It’s clear to me that this magical thinking is a consequence of Zionist pressure and we should all be alarmed.
