  • Surely this will fix everything that is currently wrong in Louisiana.

    Who needs hospitals or voting rights when you can have the 10 commandments installed in every classroom instead.

  • Saints Row 2 was one of my favorite games mainly because you had the option of picking people up and throwing them to fight.

    I made my character a giant, and I'm pretty sure I played through ~75% of the game without ever needing to use a weapon because I could just pick everybody up and take them out with one or 2 throws. I also remember giving her the derpy face option.

  • Got damn commies

  • I was thinking he looked like a fed, but maybe it's a different steel pan player named Glen Samuel.

  • Emails in 2015 and 2016 show that Epstein would have another officer, Glen Samuel, come to Little Saint James to perform steel pan drums—a side gig Samuel informally advertised at one point on his Facebook page. In a January 2015 email thread, Epstein asked an associate to clarify Samuel’s rate. The associate replied, “Mr. Samuel says he does not intend to charge you. He considers you a friend and was doing this for you. If you wish to give him something, he is appreciative, but there is no fee.” Samuel did not respond to a request for comment.

    I already posted the Guardian article, but they didn't include the name of the agent who played steel drums for Epstein or the part about him insisting he perform as a favor to a friend.

    Even though this whole things is so far beyond the realm of bizarro world, for some reason reading about the steel pan CBP agent performing on pedo Island was especially salient in a "how the fuck is this reality?!?" kind of way.

    Anyway, I think I might have found an album he made for sale on eBay.

  • Imagine being a victim and trying to explain what happened to you (assuming you're even allowed to leave the island alive, which some witnesses claim not everyone did).

    So you're saying you seemed to be targeted and singled out by CBP before being detained, and then flown via private jet to a small island where you were forced to be a sex slave?

    And a very random hodgepodge of recognizable celebrities, politicians, Wall Street executives, scientists, and other members of the global elite were also on the island you were taken to, and either participated in assaulting you or at least witnessed your assault but did nothing to stop it?

    And you also claim at one point you saw the CBP agent who originally detained you, perform the steel pan drums for the elite hodgepodge?

  • In the summer of 1919, after the war’s conclusion, Hitler was assigned to the Education and Propaganda Department of the German military in Bavaria. The department was run by Captain Karl Mayr, whose orders were to use army assets to keep the civilian population under surveillance in order to avoid future unrest and uprisings. (This was a reasonable mission, considering the wave of uprisings, several of them communist in nature, in the final days of the war.)

    Well that's certainly strange. That it all seems to go back to civilian surveillance and concerns about communist uprisings. What's this Karl Mayr guy's story?

    Mayr later became Hitler's opponent, and wrote in his memoirs that General Erich Ludendorff had personally ordered him to have Hitler join the German Workers' Party (DAP) and build it up.

    Who?

    After the war, Ludendorff became a prominent nationalist leader and a promoter of the stab-in-the-back myth, which posited that Germany's defeat and the settlement reached at Versailles were the result of a treasonous conspiracy by Marxists, Freemasons and Jews. ... He also took part in the failed 1920 Kapp Putsch and 1923 Beer Hall Putsch before unsuccessfully standing in the 1925 election for president. Thereafter, he retired from politics and devoted his final years to the study of military theory. His most famous work in this field was The Total War, where he argued that a nation's entire physical and moral resources should remain forever poised for mobilization because peace was merely an interval in a never-ending chain of wars.

    as an antisemitic and anti-communist conspiracy theory that was widely believed and promulgated in Germany after 1918. It maintained that the Imperial German Army did not lose World War I on the battlefield, but was instead betrayed by certain citizens on the home front – especially Jews, revolutionary socialists who fomented strikes and labour unrest,[1] and republican politicians who had overthrown the House of Hohenzollern in the German Revolution of 1918...When Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power in 1933, they made the conspiracy theory an integral part of their official history of the 1920s, portraying the Weimar Republic as the work of the "November criminals" who had "stabbed the nation in the back" in order to seize power.

  • The 75 people just stood by and watched ICE murder a citizen in broad daylight. When in reality those 75 people could have not only stopped the murder from happening, but likely killed those 6 ICE agents and prevented a future tragedy.

    Surely civilians joining together in a mob to take out Trump's gang of lil rascals would be the end of it right?

    President Donald Trump has repeatedly signaled he is open to invoking the Insurrection Act, a law from 1807 that allows the president to deploy the military in the United States.

    The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has awarded Palantir Technologies Inc. a five-year blanket purchase to expand the department’s use of artificial intelligence and large-scale data analytics platforms across its agencies.

    Executives from high-tech firms Meta, OpenAI and Palantir are joining the Army Reserve at the rank of lieutenant colonel to serve in Detachment 201, a new “Executive Innovation Corps,” the service announced Friday.

    Graciously explicit' job post reveals Trump's DHS expanding shadowy apparatus: report

    Pam Bondi Admits DOJ Has a Secret Domestic Terrorist List

    The Lavender precedent: automated kill lists and the limits of International Humanitarian Law

    The onslaught was, undoubtedly, fuelled by algorithmic calculations and the automatisation of warfare. (Fatafta and Leufer 2024). Indeed, AI-driven targeting enabled the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) to find targets faster than they could be struck (Mhajne 2025). In practice, this meant that once the bombing began, there was a virtually endless “pipeline” of targets. One intelligence officer stated, “the targets never end”. Once an attack is launched, the commander has “another 36,000 waiting” (McKernan & Davies 2024). The integration of these AI systems has accelerated the pace and expanded the scale of attacks to a degree that experts say “incomparable with any 21st-century air campaign”, with devastating consequences for Gaza’s civilians (Airwars 2024).

    Foremost among these AI tools is a system code-named “Lavender,” an algorithm developed by Unit 8200 (Israel’s elite signals intelligence unit) to automate the identification of human targets. An investigative report by +972 Magazine and Local Call (Abraham 2024) revealed that the Lavender algorithm assigns each person a probabilistic score indicating the likelihood that they are members of an armed group (Mhajne 2025). Six Israeli intelligence officers involved in the process testified that the system marked up to 37,000 Palestinians as suspected militants and identified their homes as targets for attack (Abraham 2024). These were predominantly low-ranking individuals.

    Good luck bringing 75 guns to a Palantir drone fight, Mark Wahlberg.

  • Saboteur!

  • One officer was invited to perform the steel pan drums on Little St James on multiple occasions

    Mort Zuckerman, Leon Black, Bob Kerrey, Joel Klein, Joi Ito, Woody and Soon Yi Allen, and Tom Pritzker – as well as “Customs Agent Bill Routch”.

    Fucking weird ass fever dream Scooby Doo shit... All of this is weird as fuck, but there's just something so unbelievably fucking weird about imagining some asshole border patrol agent was playing the fucking steel drums on pedo Island on multiple occasions, possibly for an audience that includes Woody Allen and Soon Yi while all of this disgusting bullshit is happening.

    You're almost certainly helping this guy traffick women and children. Meanwhile everybody's wearing their fucking tommy Bahama casuals and having a blast relaxing to the island sounds of CBP agent dickhead's cover of 'Hot, Hot, Hot.'

  • Right-wing and left-wing books on extremism/terrorism?

    Was he just trying to cover all of his bases?

    This made me think of that guy that blew up the Tesla in front of the Trump hotel last Jan.

  • I've always wondered if your personal version of heaven or hell in the afterlife boils down to the deepest parts of your self and lingering consciousness tied to the neurochemical and electrical activity that happens after cardiac arrest.

    You know how our sense of time is so warped when we dream, and you can fall asleep for just a few minutes but from your perspective a dream can feel so much longer?

    I figure if there was ever the perfect time for your subconscious to come back and either bite you in the ass with guilt, shame, and regret for all the the things you've done that you never set right, or alternatively, maybe give you a sense of comfort if you feel you have made peace with your life on earth, it would probably be during this time.

    Think of it like being in an isolation tank. Maybe some fuzzy outside information still makes its way in to influence what's going on inside of the tank, but mostly it's just you and your thoughts for (what feels like) all eternity.

  • Had a high school friend who relied on the pullout method bc condoms made things "too awkward." After a close call with a person (I'll call them X) who's life was full of drama:

    "Don't get me wrong, I'm very prolife, but if I found out I was pregnant with X's baby, I would get an abortion."

    I must have made a face bc she then quickly tried to clarify "If it was Y or Z though, I would keep the baby." 🤦‍♀️

  • Also, just to be clear, the grift is the entire point.

    You can argue about purity vs identity, and I probably agree with you, they're full of shit, but the point is that there are plenty of people on the right who identify as anarchists.

    Destabilize by manipulating the masses into doing all the work for you then swoop in. Create chaos in the name of anarchy with the intention of taking control.

  • VP Permaliner doesn't want single women without children to vote...

    President 🦧 doesn't want married women to vote...

    Call me hysterical and have my husband commit me crazy, but I kind of get the feeling they just don't want any women voting.
