The NYT published a massive Epstein exposé claiming he was simply a master conman—but erased his Israel connections. Nearly every player was a pro-Israel figure: Wexner, Dershowitz ex-PM Ehud Barak, . Epstein brokered deals for Israel. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/the-...

Regular streams of income from 'subscription services' are bundled up and used as collateral for more borrowing. The Tech monopolists and their financial backers are sucking the economy dry. The internet is just another utility that should be taken into public control. Then go on to Amazon.

As the Good Jobs First report shows, the SPV owners subsequently extract tax breaks in 36 states, and most of those states provide not transparency on the subsidies.

Tangential point, there is a circular nature in the financing and subsidies received for data centers in the US. Public pension cash - committed to PE/PC/RE/Infra and to a lesser extent VC funds - is not the entirety of, but certainly part of, the capital stacks of many data center SPVs.
