#DEMOCRACY in #Azerbaijan and #SouthCaucasus
“There is no Free Press in Baku”, acknowledged Ilham Aliyev. This may be true.
Mehriban, in unison, responded to the journalist’s question rather aggressively, when he asked and rather politely, the same question about democracy.
“What is your name?” – she responded. Are you the same, who hid in the Swiss embassy, dressed in women’s clothes”?
Wrong match, Mehriban:
Democracy is not equated with the lack of masculinity.
Democracy rhymes with Wisdom and stability.
And this subject needs the open and public discussion. It is about time: No Democracy and Civil rights – No European Integration.Links

Jeffrey Epstein, Jared Kushner, Chabad – Lubavitch, Mossad
In January 2026, the
U.S. Department of Justice released over three million pages of declassified files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Among these documents was a 2020 FBI memorandum detailing uncorroborated allegations from a confidential human source (CHS) regarding a web of influence involving Jared Kushner, Chabad-Lubavitch, and Mossad.

The following key claims were contained in the memo:
Jeffrey Epstein and Mossad: The CHS described Epstein as a “co-opted Mossad agent”. The memo alleges he was “trained as a spy” under former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who reportedly visited Epstein’s properties dozens of times.
Jared Kushner and Chabad: The report identifies Jared Kushner as the “central power broker” and the “real brains” behind Donald Trump’s first presidency. It claims Kushner was a key supporter of Chabad-Lubavitch, a global Orthodox Jewish movement that the source alleged sought to “co-opt” or “hijack” the Trump administration.
Foreign Influence Allegations: The memo suggests that Israel, alongside Russia and the UAE, exerted significant influence over U.S. officials through these networks. It references a symbolic visit by Kushner and Ivanka Trump to the grave of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (the Lubavitcher Rebbe) on election night 2016 as evidence of this alignment.
Alan Dershowitz: The source claimed Alan Dershowitz was also co-opted by Mossad to cultivate influence among politically connected elites and wealthy students at Harvard, including Jared Kushner.📷Instagram +12
Important Context:
The FBI and Justice Department have emphasized that these files contain unverified human-source reporting. The memo records allegations made by a source under review at the time and does not represent a confirmed investigative conclusion or formal finding of wrongdoing by any of the named parties. Former Israeli officials, including Naftali Bennett, have categorically denied any connection between Epstein and Mossad.

Key Allegations from Declassified FBI Memos
In late January 2026, the US Department of Justice released over three million pages of records related to Jeffrey Epstein. These include a 2020 FBI memo based on a “confidential human source” (CHS) that contains several explosive, though unverified, claims:

Compromised Presidency: The informant alleged that Donald Trump was “compromised by Israel” and that the Chabad-Lubavitch movement sought to “co-opt” his first term in office.
Jared Kushner’s Role: The memo describes Kushner as the “real brains” behind the Trump Organization and the presidency, acting as a central conduit for Israeli and Russian influence.
Epstein and Mossad: The source claimed Jeffrey Epstein “belonged to” allied intelligence services, specifically identifying him as a Mossad asset who reportedly trained as a spy under former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
Chabad and Russia: The informant alleged that Chabad serves as a “state-sanctioned” tool used by Vladimir Putin to monitor Russian-Jewish oligarchs.📷Instagram +4
Influence on the 2020 Campaign
Investigations into the 2020 election cycles confirmed broader foreign influence efforts beyond the specific claims in the Epstein files:
Russian Interference: The US Intelligence Community concluded that President Putin authorized influence operations aimed at denigrating Joe Biden and supporting Donald Trump.
Proxies and Narratives: Russian intelligence utilized proxies to push unsubstantiated narratives to US officials and individuals close to the Trump administration.
Financial Scrutiny: The declassified 2020 memo recommended the FBI investigate Kushner family charities for potential money laundering, asserting that Chabad-linked charities were used to move Russian investment funds.📷The New York Times +5
Verification and Context
Uncorroborated Claims: The FBI and DOJ have emphasized that the allegations in the 2020 memo represent raw intelligence tips from a single source and are not verified findings.
Trump’s Response: Donald Trump has dismissed the release of these files as a “hoax” and a “Russia, Russia, Russia scam,” claiming he has been totally exonerated by the contents.
Kushner’s Defense: While Kushner has acknowledged his support for Chabad, his representatives and some analysts have noted that historical ties to the group do not inherently prove political interference.📷Instagram +5— Michael Novakhov (@mikenov) Feb 19, 2026
