The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Given Maxwell's father's alleged connections to Mossad, that could be a possibility. But I would not discount the FSB.

A bit on Robert Maxwell: alleged to have had connections with MI6, Mossad, and the KGB. He met his end while, apparently peeing, off the side of his yacht, while nekked, and falling overboard. According to the Wiki entry, three pathologists could not agree on the cause of death. Maxwell's funeral, in Israel, was attended by the Israeli PM, President, and about six current and previous heads of Israeli intelligence.

leveraging what Lutnick said, and the conspiracy theory put forward by the people on TYT, the Steve conspiracy theory points out that people who have outlived their usefulness to Putin are very accident prone, falling out of windows on a variety of occasions. The plane carrying the man who led the Wagner Group mutiny against Putin fell out of the sky. Falling off a yacht would fit their MO, especially if a couple of Maxwell's crew were agents. Of course, Mossad could "make it look like an accident" too.

Lutnick speculates that Epstein's ludicrously light sentence in Florida was bought by bartering videos of importance to Florida officials. Steve speculates that Epstein was going to make the same move, the second time he was in the clink, but was murdered before he could hand over tapes of interest to Lord Trump, so his handlers could maintain leverage over Trump.

If Ms Maxwell tries the same play, she may end up like Epstein. The move to the minimum security prison would make it easier.

Steve...you laff now, but, what if I'm right?
