- Okay, this is genuinely alarming. But also, I misread this as pictures of Steve Bannon to play a terrifying role and was like hmm that figures
- “You’re damn right we’re gonna have ICE surround the polls come November,” Steve Bannon said on his War Room podcast. trib.al/0lWZSnj
- The Epstein files have clearly shown that there has been a concerted effort to promote right-wing and far-right movements by the wealthy elite behind the scenes. And yet it looks like the first genuine comeuppance for anyone involved will be..... a Labour government.
- Labour has not been a credible left-wing party in a long time, and Starmer has ensured that. He was a bloody fool to employ Mandelson. Truly, I believe Starmer should go. But SO SHOULD TRUMP. So many people are not being held remotely accountable
- HOW MANY PEOPLE IN PUBLIC OFFICE KNEW AND DID NOTHING? HOW MANY PEOPLE IN PUBLIC OFFICE AIDED, ABETTED, AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR? This iceberg goes deeper than any of us can know.
- In summer 2024, a film called Blink Twice came out: it was about a billionaire tech bro who invited people to parties on his private island, only it turns out there's something more sinister going on. The film's original title was Pussy Island. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_T...
- We need to look back at a lot of cultural products and realize: people had heard what was happening, but knew they wouldn’t be believed, or that they would be sued/destroyed. Perhaps some, who couldn’t stand the idea of saying nothing, put the truth into fiction.
- I can't stop thinking about whisper networks: those quiet conversations to discreetly warn people of predators. These are networks where we all know what the truth is, and between us we all have the proof, but there is no justice available, so we have to keep ourselves safe.
- I also can't stop thinking about art: the channel for so much rage where we can reveal the truth in plain sight.
