Qualifying this upfront: Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King may not be the most reliable of narrators given his record of being squirrely on an array of matters, specifically relating to how he handled the finances of organizations he’s led and been involved with – irrespective of the usual MAGA propaganda depicting him as a terrorist trying to start a race war, etc. So grain of salt here.

But a very, very small one given the rest of the picture around Israeli cyberwarfare chief Tom Artiom Alexandrovich’s August 13th arrest and subsequent return home. On one end the Las Vegas Metro Police Department states very clearly in a press release that Alexandrovich, 38, was among eight arrested on “felony charges of Luring a Child with Computer for Sex Act and were booked into the Henderson Detention Center” in a sting operation conducted jointly with the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations – meaning there was federal involvement even though it was done in the Nevada justice system. On the other, Ynet reports that Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu’s office just straight up lied about what happened, claiming that “A state employee who travelled to the US for professional matters was questioned by American authorities during his stay. The employee, who does not hold a diplomatic visa, was not arrested and returned to Israel as scheduled.” Naturally there was no mention whatsoever of the actual matter the “state employee” was questioned over.

King on his Substack claims Las Vegas area officials “told him the Trump administration personally intervened, at Israel’s request, to override US law enforcement, including their own federal agents involved in the sting, to make sure that Alexandrovich got back to Israel quickly and safely,” and still struggling to find what part of that is not believable given the record of how the Reich has handled other politically-sensitive matters surrounding certain foreign-born child sex predators.

It’s also in a way sort of consistent with the not-so politically sensitive ones:

Arrest child sex predators.

How many non-citizens have been arrested on suspicion of child sex crimes, then pulled from local jails by ICE, and are either in the gulag or have already been deported before they faced trial and actual consequences from the American justice system? Hundreds? Thousands? The difference here of course being that there was no triumphant tweet lording Alexandrovich’s arrest for trying to meet up with a child under 16 and that he didn’t stopover at some “Alligator Alcatraz” shithole.
