Okay jokes aside what is the context behind this photo?

    People think a photo tells everything. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. William Randolph Hearst, yellow journalist: You furnish the pictures, I’ll furnish the war!

    People have a weird internal brain mechanism that “fills in the blanks,” usually according to the environment and rhetoric they were socialized (psychological sense) in, and while this is a useful trait in dangerous situations, can undermine us when we can afford the time to pause and think situations through rationally.

    Each of us come into contact regularly with unsavory characters without ever having known it. Maybe the Mossad financed two sides of a conflict, maybe Epstein just wanted to say he’d met Castro, maybe he was trying to gather Intel. We can’t know, unless Epstein files are released and that information is there and unredacted. I doubt that’s going to happen in this century.
