The lyrics are fucking fire btw.

And I raise my heart

To the cordiality of these louts

They bring me luck

Tonight I have an appointment

And I’ll go just the way I am

No, I won’t change a thing

All my madness

The fire from my hands/palms

My shameless love

My love that rages

And even if it’s scary

That’s how the men I love love

Meaning and just walking a path.

Lotsa shitty things in the world when I arrived. And anyone or anything living could be me, since I don’t think anyone even chose to be human, nor when and where they were born. So it’s in my interest to fix shit up and not make it worse – I could be the next kid born into this world.

The comment of @bsit@sopuli.xyz is also important to me. as are some things @argumentativemonotheist@lemmy.world mentioned/touched on.

Didn’t see this before. Thanks!

Such a common thread in this story from what I’ve seen. Get somebody who’s a survivor, or anyone close to the story speaking out, or those helping them get the word out, etc. and they become immediate targets for electronic and physical harassment. Don’t wanna know what messages they whisper to them privately. And targeting of families of course!

On planet earth, 2026, these are still categorized as SUCKER actions.

Survivor Sarah McCarthy also cancelled her book , originally to be launched soon this year, after harassment campaigns.

Publisher’s statement:

This decision follows sustained physical and electronic harassment directed at the author, as well as the inability to reach a contractual agreement with one of the survivors interviewed for the book.

Her statement:

Over the past five years, I have been researching and writing Blue Butterfly: Inside the Diary of an Epstein Survivor. Since securing a publishing agreement in May, I have experienced sustained and forceful pressure from independent, outside sources that make it impossible for me to proceed safely at this time. This decision has not been made lightly, but it has become necessary as a matter of personal security — not only for myself, but also for my loved ones and for those who entrusted me with their stories.

This work matters deeply to me, and stepping back has required humility, discernment, and a willingness to set my ego aside. There are moments when protecting life, health, and equilibrium must take precedence over pushing forward, even when the truth feels urgent. I share this not to provoke speculation or fear, but in the hope that establishing a clear boundary will allow me to return to a normal, grounded, and quiet life.

I continue to believe that truth has its own timing and will ultimately be revealed. I have played my part. For now, I am choosing stillness, safety, and trust in a higher order. I sincerely hope that this decision, and this public announcement, will bring an end to the pressure I have been experiencing and allow me to return to a normal life.

Thank you to those who understand that courage takes many forms — and that sometimes the bravest act is knowing when to stop.

After having read the decoded diary, I feel this article, and I’m sure many others, did a poor job conveying this story.

It isn’t just a diary, she wrote the whole thing almost entirely in code, with quote-cutouts from magazines, books or such attached and continued upon in her own writing.

There’s also a progression towards desperation and ending in something more hopeful, and I think quite powerful.

I need them, everyone… all to see .
I still always dream to build a better world.
She went from being a beautiful young girl to a sad broken child…
but maybe a hope that after it all, I still truly had it within herself.
One day I aspire to be like this…
she came in like a lamb and went out like a lioness.

The italicized parts are cutouts, the rest she wrote herself in code.

The whole diary is a very rough read. Please take care :)

Right, document here

This is just an exchange with a NTOC (National Threat Operations Centre) officer, relaying information they have. So at best it’s accusations against Trump in the NTOC database.

While I definitely think this is a move they forced into and hoping to use it later to say “stop pestering us about these files, we even let you see them all!”, I also think it might have some value there. If at least a few of them come prepared and genuinely care, they might come across information such as money trails involving client names, codes, global banks, etc. and then use that information to pressure those institutions.

Obviously the DOJ is complicit, but it can be ammunition for more pressure regardless.

Also, wouldn’t be surprised to hear members of congress complain to the media later that they were kicked out, or prevented from taking notes when they came across something worthwhile enough.

Thanks for this write-up :)

In fact, 4Chan was set up right after J.E had dinner with the founder.

That was 4chan’s /pol/ board, not 4chan. Unless there’s information I’m missing.

To OP: Things like using existing conflicts and hijacking them, or creating new ones are a known thing. It’s probably as old as spies and part of the even older strategy of “Divide & Conquer”. Outside of the Epstein files there is stuff that shows this clearly going on today.

So I wouldn’t call it ‘all a ploy’, as to have a sort of conflict is to be expected, even without shadowy mingling that is willing to spare no resources to solidify their attempts at world domination. Their efforts run deep though! Another related term I feel people many forget as a concept is ‘controlled opposition’.

I don’t think I’ve read more than a hundred pages. It was also too American for my interests to devote so much time to. But I still remember the scene where the character preps everything to lock himself up in comfort, full hermit style and hedonistic entertainment maxing, once he gets his weed. Good stuff!

They should read their own damn books, such as simple sabotage.

Also some random excerpts on Gabbard being totally not compromised by Russia. /s

National intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard said on Tuesday that she had stripped security clearances from 37 current and former national security officials, including some who worked on the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

Or this

The former senior CIA officer who helped oversee the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election says Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the White House are “lying” when they claim that it was an attempt to sabotage President Donald Trump

“The director of national intelligence and the White House are lying, again,” Miller said. “We definitely had the intel to show with high probability that the specific goal of the Russians was to get Trump elected.”

Thank you! :)

It kinda sucks that the sliders for their metrics didn’t carry over on the archive version, since without it the article is pretty empty.

I also find the title rage inducing. Yeah, it’s not exactly a surprise either. But still pretty fucked up when Minnesota showed (and continues to) something very powerful facing this shit, rather than just being part of the story. I’d argue their actions even hold weight against moving towards autocracy with in their little slider thingies.

Yeah, I simply miss-counted. It’s fixed in the alt-text now.

Thanks for quality links to this artist’s music! Enjoying his stuff quite a bit :)
Never could get into these deep screams in music though, I don’t really get it either, and otherwise I think there’s no genre I don’t listen to sometimes.

Sorry, I can’t give a better answer than @samus12345@sh.itjust.works did 😅

Thanks, gonna edit it straight away.

By the way, I encourage anyone to just post an alternative alt-text in the comments, if they ever feel one is missing or not good enough, should they feel like it. It makes it easier for any OP to edit-in, and for folks who need it, they might look at the comments. It’s just a net positive. There might be value in using a hash-tag for this as well.
And this is not to move away from OP responsibilities, but, ya know, shit happens.

Sounds like you need to listen to some Electric Callboy hahaha.

Gonna put it on my driving playlist before I head off!

It could be that you aren’t getting the things you need most from what’s available to you.

Do you mean that as in the stuff in the plant, or my environment in general?

God, I loved growing weed – indoors, outdoors. It was always such fun. Only when a ‘friend’ wanted to go all commercial with a loveless kind of style did I really lose interest. Unfortunately the risks associated are a tad too high where I am currently at.

I’m always jealous of Americans, especially those from California, who can enjoy a diverse market that isn’t based solely on “as high as possible, as cheaply as possible”. Fuckers!

Be careful what you wish for, my manifestation to get songs I like when I like might infringe upon your freedom, by involving a complete paradigm shift of social relations, like pretty much anything requires at this point.

I’m very weird with weed. It helps sometimes, and damn does it help! But unlike anything else, I can’t control my consumption after a single smoke for weeks 😭

I’m sure if I throw enough tantrums it will become normalized eventually :)

‘Reality this, reality that’, I hear them say. Why can things never be based on me?

I’m gonna guess it has something to do with environmental factors, such as global oppression to heteronormative diversion.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Will try to do and have the choice of paragraphs be as unbiased as possible, which isn’t always easy. So please, don’t hesitate to contact/report me if you notice any bad style.
