For the past five years or so, everyone and their nan has been accused of being a fascist, a neo-Nazi, or whatever. Often these accusations come from angry internet addicts who can't take a joke. At Popular Front, we don't care about all that drama. We do care though, about actual violent fascist militancy. The organised extremists who wish to violently cut off someone else's freedom because they're a different race, religion, sexuality, gender, or whatever.

To help understand where the real threats are coming from, we've started Skeleton Key—a monthly report on contemporary far-right militancy all over the world. It'll be available only at patreon.com/popularfront. Sign up for the $5 bonus tier or above to get access to this project and much more. The first episode is now live.

Today we speak to journalist Murtaza Hussain about Jeffrey Epstein's many ties to the Israeli government. Was he Mossad, an asset, a spy, or something even more powerful?
