WOW. WOW. WOW. Stunning, as you drop the pieces of the puzzle into what is starting to finally look like a coherent picture. My word. I feel gobsmacked with enlightenment.

To anyone just reading about Mega for the first time, Whitney Webb's One Nation Under Blackmail (Vol 1 & 2) are essential.

The definitions are so important. Thank you for your hard work.

Wow. You’re so good. I am so curious now about how/if there is a tie-in to the Bronfman girls - Edgar’s daughters - who were Keith Raniere’s benefactors. Edgar was even alive throughout their financing Nexium. How does a man like that let his daughters give away so much family money to a cult? He can’t possibly have been in the dark about it.

Alisa, amazing and important work. Your starting comments on Judaism vs Zionism vs Israel are very sharp and clear. One of the best quick and clear statements I’ve seen, and morally right on target! Thank you. And the reporting is stunning.

You are enlightening so many people Alisa, including me. Thank you.

Consider working for or sending your reportage to Rachel Maddow. She loves this kind of dogged & deep investigative journalism.

The book by Whitney Webb is beyond eye opening. Check her out on the The Unlimited website

Friend Alisa. Thank you so much for your introduction about political Zionism. "Judaism is not Zionism is not Israel." I have been arguing this for decades as I have watched Zionism drive Israel's imperialist takeover of Palestine and its pursecution and murder of Palestinians.

I am no longer a Christian, but I am still a follower of the first century Palestinian Jewish teacher whom the West calls Jesus. It is utterly disheartening that so many Jewish and so-called Christian people refuse to see that Israel is reenacting the Holocaust against the Palestinians.

Hello Alisa... This is Brilliant... Thanks for Elucidating the Differences Between Being Jewish vs. Zionist vs. Anti-Semitic... Wishing for Peace in the Middle-East doesn't make one Anti-Semitic... As I have written in this Substack previously. the Tie-Ins with the Intel Services, and Zionist $$$ was obvious... Just Look At His Patrons... Be Careful Out There.... OBW: The Jewish Holocaust killed 1 out of 3 European Jews.... The American Indigenous Holocaust has killed over 99 out of 100, and is still ongoing... Atrocities are Atrocities...

Absolutely right. Worst genocide in history by far! Not to downplay the Shoah and others like in Palestine. Thanks for reminding us.

All very interesting. Mind-blowing. Good to demarcate judaism, zionism, and the israeli state. Clearly, they are not the same. It is starting to become clearer, too, that epstein was murdered in his cell.

Not every Zionist, who want to see a strong, free Israel, for Jews and Arabs of all faiths agrees with the actions of the current Israeli administration. Clinton offered the Arabs 98% of what they asked for including the connection of the West Bank to Gaza. Arafat, under pressure from other Arab leader and “the street” declined peace. After Oct 7, It appears Israelis are now following the Arab playbook of hating others, terrorism and active annihilation of those that pledge to Death to Israel and ALL Jews.

I get it. Judaism, Yes and Zionism, NO. Thank you, so much.

It is so damned sad to have preface your article that way. I am so sick of Zionists, Zionism, and their evil alliance with the West. I could spit.
