Backstory- what you need to know

Chicago (hereby referred to as chiraq) is known for it's history of gang violence. The main players being the Black Disciples (BD's) and the Gangster Disciples (GD's and GDN). Once a unified gang under the name of Black Gangster Disciple Nation due to problems with leadership the factions in the gang split into the BD's and GDN.

Though active in other areas the Black Disciples are known for running an apartment complex known as O block and the Gangster Disciples are known for controlling a neighboring area known as Tookaville.

Many members of the Black Disciples such as Lil Durk, Chief Keef, and King Von have started successful rap careers boosting the active conflicts in the streets of chiraq to new audiences (white boy rap fans).

While there have been other shootings and street conflicts, the murder of FBG Duck is the relevant one here FBG Duck was a self made rapper associated with the GDN. While the evidence is lacking and circumstantial it's clear that King Von and maybe even Lil Durk were the ones who commissioned the hit. Just yesterday on /r/chiraqology the video of his shooting was leaked.

the drama

reddit.com/r/chiraqology is a subreddit for discussion the chiraq scene filled to the brim with white rap fans who larp as being black street thugs. BD affiliated rappers and news is much more popular on the sub, leading to a heavy bias with anythinf related to GDN being dissed. Because of FBG Duck's affiliation, and the fact that his hit was connected to King Von, who the subreddit practically worships, the reaction has been interesting so far.

Context

Introduction

World of Warcraft released in 2004 and quickly became basically the video game as it reached unparalleled acclaim not only in its own genre but even hitting mainstream numbers. As many more expansions followed which either (i) ruined the game by making it too hard or (ii) ruined the game by making it too easy ("baby mode"), Blizzard eventually realized after seeing the success of a plethora of private servers, many of which ran by third world scammers offering pay-to-win services, that an official server running the initial version of the game - hence named World of Warcraft Classic - would not only make them a massive amount of money, but also quell the purgatorial fire the latest expansions and recent scandals have ignited. They have later also added the first expansion and the second expansion to the classic era cycle with Cataclysm (the fourth expansion) being added later this year. However, most people usually agree that Cataclysm (which released in 2010. irreversibly ruined the original game and that it isn't part of the original triology.

The next logical step, of course, was using the basic version of a game as a foundational element and add new content on top of it, essentially having multiple versions of the game active at the same time. So instead of only having;

• WoW -> The Burning Crusade -> Wrath of the Lich King -> Cataclysm -> ?

and

• WoW -> The Burning Crusade -> ... -> Dragonflight (the current Retail expansion)

they now use Classic as a base and add content on top of it and checking out what actually sticks, calling it fittingly Season of Discovery:

• WoW -> WoW Classic Season of Discovery (I'll keep calling it Classic from now on I think )

What does Season of Discovery do differently?

There is tons of new content that wasn't in the original game and the goal is to gradually progress through the original game and provide small but meaningful alterations. This process is divided into multiple phases with each phase selecting a certain part of the game's core features and changing them in some way. The first phase, for example, had the game's level capped at 25 (instead of the original 60. and transformed a somewhat unpopular dungeon (5-Men-Content) into a 10-Men-Raid making it essentially end game content. It also introduced runes (basically key abilities for each class) that change the core aspect of some classes and some other features that aren't relevant here. Furthermore, phase 2 was announced a couple of days ago with the objective to increase the level cap and make Gnomeregan (another 5-men-dungeon) into a new raid amongst other stuff.

Alright that's fetch and all but where is the drama?

As announced by Blizzard in its Season of Discovery Phase 2 post, gold dragon kill points (GDKP) raids in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery are going the way of the dodo on February 8:

We are experimenting with a new policy which will no longer allow GDKP runs in Season of Discovery. While we understand that there are some benefits for those who find this a convenient way to gain gear, we also recognize that there are concerns surrounding the erosion of traditional guild and social structures that are a part of the spirit of Season of Discovery. Given the experimental nature of Season of Discovery, we want to try things without this type of transaction taking place in this game mode. With the launch on February 8, we will be restricting this activity. We will have more information to share on our official channels and will be monitoring feedback closely.

I'm not a turbovirgin so what the frick does GDKP mean?

GDKP, or Gold Dragon Kill Points, is a loot system in World of Warcraft where players bid in-game gold on loot drops during raids. The highest bid wins the item. It's a twist on the traditional DKP (Dragon Kill Points) system, which uses points earned through raids. Usually at the end of the run you add up all the gold then split it evenly so people that don't need anything make gold and people who need gear get the items they want. There are some variations to this that include factors such as bidding, performance and attendance, but you get the gist of it by understanding the aforementioned sentence.

Alright so people use gold to bid on items they want, what's the big deal?

There are some blatant issues with this and I'll only mention a couple of points here because this topic has always been quite controversial and before you can somewhat form your opinion on this you need to understand a couple of things:

• Bots: Classic WoW has so many bots it is simply unbelievable. There are thousands upon thousands on them with Blizzard seemingly being incapable of spotting them. They ruin the economy by making farming for materials useless and by introducing a shit ton of gold into the game, which of course is sold for real money called RMT (= Real Money Transaction).

• The player base: Classic World of Warcraft is an old game. In fact, it's a very old game that still is popular. Yeah, yeah some actual boomers might disagree with this but World of Warcraft is old and quite dated - especially in its original form. Sure, there are some major patches that set it up to ca. 2006 standards but it lacks many quality-of-life features, actual content and more imporatntly a younger audience. I'm not implying that Retail WoW is a better version of the game, I'm just saying that Classic is obviously catered towards a different audience - and it shows. The average Classic player is in his 40s, balding with a nagging wife and twenty children and five jobs and is actually incapable of playing the game. Also, people can cope however they want but video game skill decreases significantly and players in the 2000s were never good to begin with. The amount of Classic players that are borderline r-slurred is mindblowing, especially considering my second point:

• The difficulty: Let's face it. Classic World of Warcraft is not hard. Sure, its leveling is time consuming, its world is immersive, it is fun to play but it is definitely not hard, not during leveling, not during the dungeons and especially not during raiding. In fact, compared to current Retail WoW, its endgame content is a joke - and everyone knows this. However given the aforementioned point (people suck at the game), people can overcome a lot of the annoying things such as fighting for loot, or doing the raids yourself by actually paying other players (with gold) to carry them through the content. Boosts exist in every version of every MMO ever but in WoW they are everywhere and especially in Classic it is hard to NOT see them. What's the point of doing all of that if you can just try to clear the content on your own? Well, people usually log stuff which essentially means that your performance on the bosses is uploaded to an external site - and other people actually care enough to check your logs before they invite you to their groups. Bad logs equals bad players which means no invite.

=> So you add (1) + (1) together and you'll realize that people just use gold to clear the content and get the items they want so they can wait until the next patch and do it all over again. It doesn't take two paragraphs to figure out where this gold comes from, right? RMT. As a result, GDKPs motivate people to buy gold through RMT—but they're also a great cover for these operations, too. As this player on the classic subreddit points out, "one person breaking the ToS by buying gold for RMT can come into a raid and spend it among people who are not breaking the ToS … now all that gold is clean and gets used to buy raid consumes which are farmed by bots, who use that gold to sell back to the gold buyers." The snake eats its own tail. GDKPs also create a culture of exclusivity, locking players who might otherwise do fine in a pick-up group out of a game's casual raiding scene. Plenty of GDKPs have buy-ins, with one player in November alleging that a Wrath of the Lich King group was asking for 144,000 gold for a lifetime spot which is roughly 5000 dollars.

This is made worse by the fact that GDKP runs hamstring player motivation to get out into the world (of Warcraft) and farm. Nobody likes to grind, and the GDKP payout means you can just go buy your materials and consumables for the next raid from the auction house. But this can create a sort of symbiotic relationship between gold farmers and actual players—the only people giving a supply for the demand inevitably become the ToS-violating organisations that nonetheless make this sort of thing their day job.

At the end of day even Blizzard realized enough is enough and made GDKPs a bannable thingy (warning blogpost):

GDKP in Season of Discovery

Why is that such a big deal. Shouldn't it be great?

It is but I'll let you decide.

(Just a selection there are SOOOOO many threads about this):

Banning GDKPs is enforcing communism

GDKP is ban, help me find a new loot system

Revert the GDKP change

GDKP people deserve to all be banned. In fact it took way too long. Good move

GDKP Alternative

Blizzard ban GDKP in SOD but not in WOTLK or Cataclysm or Era

r/Classicwow

No more GDKP [3000 FRICKING COMMENTS LMAO ]

Some examples:

https://old.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/1aed4y0/no_more_gdkp/kk7b4ht/?context=8

Man I'll miss GDKPs. It's actually a great community for all the flack it gets on Reddit. Raiders are incentivized to clear quickly and stay for the entire run.

One of the issues I had with SR runs was people would SR a bis item off an early boss then dip if it doesn't drop. That NEVER happens in GDKPs.

Now people will get to enjoy the authentic wow classic experience of corrupt loot councils and pug raid leads hard reserving the bis items for themselves.

Easy solution is to check logs and dont join groups with HR. Sorry you cant swipe your credit card through the game anymore.

gdkps in classic were my favorite and I never have bought gold once. honestly i evaded most gold checks just by being a healer. as a holy priest I was ALWAYS broke with no good way to farm so gdkps were how I earned anything for consumes.

I don't even run them in SOD but it's the only loot system that works for pug 20 and 40 mans. No other system incentivizes people to perform well or not AFK after the boss who's loot they wanted dies.

https://old.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/1aed4y0/no_more_gdkp/kk7b2ib/?context=8

People complaining about GDKPs they never attend. We have big communities of people who run lots of raids together and the way we like to do it is GDKP because its objectively a great loot system. Anyone can hop into a random raid and it's worth their time. Why would I join a LC or DKP guild's run? It will take me 1-3 months to start getting good items. Enjoy losing the roll on the epic staff for the 4th time to the fresh alt who just hit 25 that day.

All of the problems people have with GDKP (Gold buying, Botting, etc) are external to GDKPs themselves and will continue to exist with or without GDKPs.

You have people in your guild and raid teams right now who have bought gold to buy BOE items, raid consumables, and soon their mounts. They're the problem, not GDKPs.

Shame they're trying to break up our communities because of this.

It still affects me even if I don't join. GDKPs launder huge amounts of gold for swipers and drive prices way up for the rest of us.

..

I TOO LOVE TO SELL GOLD.

https://old.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/1aed4y0/no_more_gdkp/kk7bir0/?context=8

The biggest scourge of classic has taken its biggest hit. Lets hope blizzard can commit to keeping the scum out of SoD

So a month from now, when everything is exactly as it's always been despite the GDKP ban, will you come back here and admit that you grossly overestimated the effect that GDKPs have on the game?

Zzzzz. Cry more gold buyer.

He's right tho. Now with gdkps gone people will start just log checking pugs and you butt still won't get into runs

Then there's also this fantastic thread:

Price of gold drops more than 50% on GDKP ban announcement. I was wrong and am now starting to believe. [600+ comments]

Looked around this morning and found this graph (image below). For obvious reasons won't be listing the source, so unsure of how accurate it is. Regardless:

I was wrong and I'm shocked. I did not think the GDKP ban would have this type of an impact.

As an Auction House man, I never needed to buy gold to do GDKPs. I really was one of those people who believed that most others doing GDKPs also are earning their gold legimiately, and just a few bad eggs. Moreover I believed (and still do) that GDKPs, assuming no RMT, is arguably the best and most efficient form of loot distribution.

But seeing data like this... darn. There is NO WAY that the gold price can drop that much unless it is a PRIMARY demand driver for gold buying. I was mad about GDKP ban, and we still need to see how this shakes out in the long haul, but for now... I'm on board.

And another funny one:

GDKPs would be fine if we lived in a perfect world. But we live in the real world. [550+ comments]

And in the real world, Blizzard is either too incompetent/lazy to ban all bots/gold buyers, or it is simply impossible for them to do so. Whichever is true doesn't really matter.

Let's be honest with ourselves:

Swiping your credit card to buy gear is fricking stupid

The economy being massively inflated by bots is fricking stupid

GDKPs are the #1 incentive for botting/gold buying

Will banning GDKPs remove all instances of people swiping for gear? Of course not. People can still use other platforms to facilitate transactions. People will find workarounds in-game. Bots will always exist. People will still buy gold.

Banning GDKPs is a band aid solution to a greater problem. But that greater problem has been plaguing the game for years now. The vast majority of normal players have their experience lessened by bot inflation. Interacting with the economy is one of the most fun aspects of classic wow, because gold actually matters. It feels really bad as an honest player when you feel like you cant compete for certain items on the market because their price is jacked up so high to capitalize on the deep pockets of gold buyers (looking at you, Troll's Bane Leggings being 250g week 1).

Banning GDKPs won't completely fix the economy, but it will help. I'd much rather people use real money through venmo to buy gear than gold. And while I do sympathize with honest GDKP enjoyers, the harsh truth is that the average player's experience matters more. This really is a necessary evil.

EDIT: GDKP might not be the #1 incentive for botting/gold buying, but my point still stands. Cope harder swipers

And a bunch of other threads I won't bother going into detail:

!g*mers get in here!

carp capy moon schizo geto pin please

Ghosts, Aliens, Bigfoot, Dinosaurs, Crop Circles, Men In Black, UFOs, The Predator, Orbs, and by god even Skinwalkers and much, much more has been reportedly seen at the Skinwalker Ranch in the quite little town of Ballard, Utah.

Reports of UFO sightings began in the 1970s in the Uinta Basin of the Colorado Plateaus province. The Sherman family bought the ranch in 1994 It wouldn't be until 1996 that the first sightings of UFO activity at the Sherman ranch would be reported by the Deseret News.

You can read the full article here.

For more than a year now the Shermans' 480-acre ranch just south of Fort Duchesne in Uintah County has been a hotbed for UFOs and bizarre paranormal activity - weirdness that even the Shermans, who've witnessed the strange happenings with their own eyes and video camera, have trouble accepting as reality.

"For a long time we wondered what we were seeing, if it was something to do with a top-secret project," said Terry Sherman, who reluctantly agreed to speak pub-licly about the activity for the first time. "I don't know really what to think about it."

The Shermans, their teenage son and 10-year-old daughter have seen three specific types of UFOs repeatedly during the past 15 months - a small boxlike craft with a white light, a 40-foot-long object and a huge ship the size of several football fields. They've seen one craft emit a wavy red ray or light beam as it flies along. They've seen other airborne lights, some of which have emerged from orange, circular doorways that seem to appear in midair. They've videotaped two of the sightings.

Mystery circles

They once discovered three circles of flattened grass, each about 8 feet across, in a triangular pattern about 30 feet from each other. In a nearby pasture, other strange soil impressions have been found - circles about 3 feet wide and a foot or two deep with the dirt in the center perfectly flattened.

One of the flying lights followed Gwen's car on her way home from work one night. And while out in one of the fields with the family dogs, Terry heard male voices speaking an unfamiliar language. The voices seemed to be about 25 feet above him, but Terry couldn't see a thing. The dogs were frantic. They barked and growled before running off to the ranch house, Terry said.

The Shermans have linked the sightings with the death or disappearance of seven of their cows. Four have disappeared without a trace. Three others have been found dead and partially mutilated.

"We've seen (the UFOs) enough and we know pretty much what the craft look like, and I think it's definitely associated with the cattle mutilations - when we see the crafts and then the cattle, we have problems," Sherman said.

"You talk to a lot of people around here that at one time or another have seen something they can't explain. There's been a lot of cattle mutilations, and a lot of them weren't reported. Several (ranchers) told me that when they had a (mutilation), they called the authorities and the authorities couldn't do anything, so it was just a waste of time and effort."

Indeed, the records clerk for the Uintah County Sheriff's Department said her department has not received reports of UFOs or cattle mutilations in recent memory. Sheriff Ralph Stansfield in nearby Duchesne County said he is unaware of any UFOs or mutilations being reported in the past 18 months.

Hunt For The Skinwalker

I should also note at this point that the The Sherman's ranch itself is located in Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation. The ranch would later be dubbed the "UFO Ranch" by all the strange ayy shenanigans going on.

The ranch would be investigated by television journ*list George Knapp who would later co-write the book Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah along with Colm A. Kelleher.

In 1996 the ranch would be sold to the National Institute for Discovery Science [NIDS], funded and owned by millionaire Robert Bigelow. Bigelow had read the articles by Knapp about the ranch and wanted to investigate it himself. Also apparently the ranch was owned by the Gorman family, but I'm getting some conflicting reports. Either the Gorman family owned the ranch after buying it from the Sherman family, or Bigelow had the family move to the ranch after he bought it, I'm not sure

For fun, let's read some of the strange events from the book. You can read the full book here for free.

If you don't like reading then Bedtime Stories has some great videos about the ranch.

Chapter 3 The Basin

The legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers is well documented in history books. In the bloody campaigns of the Indian Wars in the late 1800s, approximately 20 percent of U.S. Cavalry troopers were African Americans. Native tribes dubbed them Buffalo Soldiers, in part because of a perceived resemblance between these dark-skinned, curly-haired warriors and the revered buffalo, and in part because of their prowess in battle and in the saddle. At least eighteen Congressional Medals of Honor were awarded to Buffalo Soldiers as a result of their actions in at least 177 armed engagements during the Indian Wars in the West.

What isn't widely known about the Buffalo Soldiers stationed at Fort Duchesne is that many, if not most, of them were Freemasons. This may not seem consistent with our current perception of Masons or Freemasons as mostly white, mostly upper-class captains of industry and politics, but it happens to be true.

Of course the Freemasons would get brought up.

Chapter 4 The Weirdness

The Gormans tried to ignore the wolf incident. It had been too surreal. One of their new neighbors remarked casually to them a few days later that their land was home to a herd of large wolves. They were relieved to hear that their family was not party to some collective delusion. Other people had seen the wolves too.

A few weeks later, Ellen was driving in her gray Chevette back to their homestead. She was coming home from her new job with the local mortgage company. She had opened the gate to the property and closed it behind her. As she sat in the car, she noticed a movement to her left in her peripheral vision. She gasped. The wolf was huge, and it had silently approached within thirty feet of her. Now it stood outside her window. As she stared into the friendly light-blue eyes of the huge animal, she felt a knot of fear tighten. The animal's head stood over the roof of her car. This was no ordinary wolf—it resembled the bulletproof animal they had encountered only a few weeks previously.

Easily visible in the gathering twilight was another animal, all black. It stood farther away from the car and appeared more reserved. It was large, but not quite as big as the wolf. It looked like a very weird dog but unlike any she had ever seen. Perhaps it was an exotic breed created by centuries of mating on the nearby Ute Indian reservation? Maybe one of her Ute neighbors owned this wolf? The dog's head was much too large for its body, but the body was still big. Now thoroughly alarmed,

Ellen slammed the gas pedal with her foot and drove quickly along the last half mile to the homestead. She made a mental note to complain to the local tribal office in Fort Duchesne the following day. No matter how placid and tame these huge wolves appeared to be, they were still wild animals. She was determined that they would not be allowed to roam freely on the property, especially since the family was preparing to move their extremely expensive herd of registered animals onto the grass fields within a few more weeks. Winter was approaching.

Ellen was really puzzled the next day when her polite requests to rein in the wolves were met with blank stares and uncomprehending silence at the tribal office. Nobody owned any wolves around here, she was told. In fact, wolves had not been seen in this part of Utah for seventy years; the last wolf in Utah had been shot in 1929. (These events happened a lull year before a herd of gray wolves was transplanted into Yellowstone Park and into Central Idaho in 1995, and in December 2002 one of those wolves would be caught in a trap near Ogden, Utah. In 2004, a couple of wolves were spotted around Vernal.) The soft-spoken tribal official eventually told Ellen that she must be mistaken. Perhaps she had seen a coyote?

Ellen was furious. She left the tribal office convinced that somebody was not telling the truth. She remembered that the huge animal had to bend down to breathe on her car window. It was about four times the size of any wolf she had ever heard about. And the disquieting incident of the bulletproof wolf came back to haunt the family. They saw the huge animals in the distance a couple more times in the next few weeks. Then they seemed to disappear from the face of the Earth. The family became so busy with ranch chores that Ellen quickly forgot about the huge animals; out of sight was definitely out of mind

Chapter 5 The Curse

One story told on the Navajo reservation in Arizona concerns a woman who delivered newspapers in the early morning hours. She claims that, during her rounds, she heard a scratching on the passenger door of her vehicle. Her baby was in the car seat next to her. The door flung open, and she saw the horrifying form of a creature she described as half man, half beast, with glowing red eyes and a gnarly arm that was reaching for her child. She fought it off, managed to pull the door closed, then pounded the gas pedal and sped off. To her horror, she says, the creature ran along with the car and continued to try to open the door. It stayed with her until she screeched up to an all-night convenience store. She ran inside, screaming and hysterical, but when the store employee dashed outside, the being had vanished. Outsiders may view the story skeptically, and any number of alternative explanations might be suggested, but it is taken seriously on the Navajo reservation.

Although skinwalkers are generally believed to prey only on Native Americans, there are recent reports from Anglos claiming they encountered skinwalkers while driving on or near tribal lands. One New Mexico Highway Patrol officer told us that while patrolling a stretch of highway south of Gallup, New Mexico, he had had two separate encounters with a ghastly creature that seemingly attached itself to the door of his vehicle. During the first encounter, the veteran law enforcement officer said the unearthly being appeared to be wearing a ghostly mask as it kept pace with his patrol car. To his horror, he realized that the ghoulish specter wasn't attached to his door after all. Instead, he said, it was running alongside his vehicle as he cruised down the highway at a high rate of speed.

The officer said he had a nearly identical experience in the same area a few days later. He was shaken to his core by these encounters but didn't realize that he would soon get some confirmation that what he had seen was real. While having coffee with a fellow highway patrolman not long after the second incident, the cop cautiously described his twin experiences. To his amazement, the second officer admitted having his own encounter with a white-masked ghoul, a being that appeared out of nowhere and then somehow kept pace with his cruiser as he sped across the desert. The first officer told us that he still patrols the same stretch of highway and that he is petrified every time he enters the area.

One Caucasian family still speaks in hushed tones about its encounter with a skinwalker, even though it happened in 1983. While driving at night along Route 163 through the massive Navajo reservation, the four members of the family felt that someone was following them. As their truck slowed to round a sharp bend, the atmosphere changed, and time itself seemed to slow down. Then something leaped out of a roadside ditch at the vehicle.

“It was black and hairy and was eye level with the cab,” one of the witnesses recalled. “Whatever this thing was, it wore a man's clothes. It had on a white and blue checked shirt and long pants. Its arms were raised over its head, almost touching the top of the cab. It looked like a hairy man or a hairy animal in man's clothing, but it didn't look like an ape or anything like that. Its eyes were yellow and its mouth was open.”

The father, described as a fearless man who served two tours in Vietnam, turned completely white, the blood drained from his face. The hair on his neck and arms stood straight up, like a cat under duress, and noticeable goose bumps erupted from his skin. Although time seemed frozen during this bizarre interlude, the truck continued on its way, and the family was soon miles down the highway.

A few days later, at their home in Flagstaff, the family awoke to the sounds of loud drumming. As they peered out their windows, they saw the dark forms of three “men” outside their fence. The shadowy beings tried to climb the fence to enter the yard but seemed inexplicably unable to cross onto the property. Frustrated by their failed entry, the men began to chant in the darkness as the terrified family huddled inside the house.

>Frustrated by their failed entry, the men began to chant in the darkness as the terrified family huddled inside the house.

Chapter 6 High Strangeness

At the end of one fruitless night, the hard-packed snow crunched underfoot as he walked slowly back from the western part of the ranch. It was probably thirty below and Tom wanted to call it a night. He was freezing cold. As he trudged home, to his north lay the snow-covered slope of the bluff, and the postblizzard freshness bathed everything in an eerie pale light. A slight movement out of the corner of his eye caught Tom's attention. He turned toward the ridge and his jaw slackened. Starkly outlined against the snow-covered ridge was an aircraft that seemed to have just appeared out of nowhere. It was about thirty or forty feet long, and it reminded Gorman of a snub-nosed, smaller hybrid version of the F-117 and the B-2. But it was completely silent. There was no wind, and the stillness was uncanny.

The aircraft was no more than twenty feet off the ground and, as it moved slightly toward him, a recurring pattern of tiny multicolored lights danced their way across the snow. The lights were obviously coming from the aircraft, but Tom couldn't make out how they were being projected onto the snow. The total silence and barely perceptible movement of the object convinced Tom that there was no way he would have seen it if it hadn't been so plainly silhouetted against the white snow. Its jet-black color and the noiseless slow motion combined to give him the impression that it was defying gravity.

Chapter 7 Chupas

When Betty eventually brought the car to a standstill, the object was only sixty yards away. It looked as if it was made of dull aluminum and glowed so brightly that it lit up the surrounding trees. The four points of the diamond were blunt rather than sharp, and blue spots or lights ringed its center. Had it not come to rest over the road, the cone of fire from its lowest point would have set the forest on fire. The object also emitted an intermittent bleeping sound. The two women got the impression that maybe the giant object was having some kind of engine trouble.

The three of them got out of the car to take a better look at the object. Vickie stood by the open door on the right-hand side of the car with her left hand resting on the car roof. Vickie is a Christian who does not believe in UFOs or extraterrestrial life, and when she saw the bright object she thought the end of the world had come. Because she expected to see Jesus come out of the light, she stared at it intently. Colby begged his grandmother to get back in the car. After about three minutes she did so and told him not to be afraid because “when that big man comes out of the burning cloud, it will be Jesus.”

As Vickie held Colby, she screamed at Betty to get back in the car with them. But Betty was so fascinated by the object that she walked around to the front of the car and stood there gazing at it, bathed in the bright light, the heat from it burning her skin. Eventually, as the thing began to move up and away, she moved back to the car door. When she went to open the door, she found the handle so painfully hot that she had to use her leather jacket to protect her hands and get back in the car.

>Hmmm, strange metal flying object in the sky that's shooting burning lights? Must be Jesus.

Chapter 9 The Window

Another night, Tom was again sitting near his favorite tree stump, once again puzzling at the orange structure that hovered in the same area over an abandoned homestead about a mile to the west. He was training his night-vision scope on the middle of the orange mass. This time he couldn't see any sky, but the middle seemed like it had multiple layers, like a three-dimensional onion that moved away from him. And then Tom's sharp eyes picked out a fast-moving black object that was silhouetted perfectly against the bright orange background. The black object seemed to grow bigger, and Tom could tell that it was moving very rapidly in his direction at the center of the orange “window.” Within seconds, the vaguely triangular object had gained considerably in size and it appeared bigger as it flew directly toward him out of the “hole” in the sky. The object was moving at such a speed and so quietly that he could make out only the black shape. The object then quickly vanished into the night.

Tom had seen something few humans have reported. He had seen a flying object, black and possibly triangular shaped, flying from a great distance from the “other side” of the orange structure to his property. This incident convinced Tom that his ranch was the site of some kind of dimensional doorway through which a flying object entered and maybe even exited this reality. On another occasion, Gorman saw another object exiting at high speed through the orange rent in the sky. Each time, the flying aircraft moved much too quickly for him to get a good idea of its size or exact shape.

Chapter 11 Orbs

As Tom watched this amazing spectacle, the hair on the back of his neck rose. He could feel a wave of deep, naked fear washing over him. He felt paralyzed with the deepest, most visceral fear he had ever known. It was overwhelming. Wild animals had trapped Tom, he had been close to death, but he had never felt anything like the intensity of the terror he felt now. He knew Ellen was feeling the same because she had begun to hyperventilate. She gasped deeply and her body had begun to shake. Tom felt like he was going to have a seizure.

Suddenly Ellen, who was whimpering with terror, turned on her flashlight. The effect was instantaneous. The blue orb darted abruptly into the branches of the nearby tree as if trying to avoid the flashlight's beam It maneuvered effortlessly through the branches at high speed. It was obvious to them that the orb was under intelligent control. Then as abruptly as the object had darted into the trees, it suddenly shot out of sight behind their homestead.

Ellen sank to her knees, weeping. Tom also felt weak. His legs could barely hold him. But the overwhelming, paralyzing terror he had felt had vanished. It was like a switch had been abruptly thrown. The aftereffects of that bolt of adrenaline were obvious. Perspiration poured from his body, and his legs and arms began shaking violently. He too sank to his knees and put his arms around his violently trembling wife. She continued weeping. He felt helpless to comfort her and could not manage a reassuring word. As his shaking subsided, he felt only numbness inside. He also felt relief. And puzzlement. How could that orb have provoked such abject terror in both of them?

Chapter 16 The Bulls

Fifty yards away, one of the cows wandered casually toward a bright blue salt lick that lay between two straight lines of poplar trees that jutted a hundred feet into the air. Tom watched as the animal suddenly stopped dead in its tracks and, head lowered, began to back away from the salt. Tom gently nudged Ellen and pointed. Ellen jumped nervously and turned her head toward the animal. She, too, watched as the cow, transfixed with fear, was literally backing away from something invisible as fast as its legs could move. Tom reached through the window of his truck and grabbed his compass. He had learned a long time ago that strange events caused the compasses to act strangely. The frightened cow had now backed thirty yards away and suddenly turned tail and stampeded toward the eastern end of the pasture.

Tom then watched as the herd of cows suddenly split in two in Red Sea fashion, as if something invisible was now in the middle of the herd of cattle. Dozens of animals ran west, while the remainder stampeded east. Tom glanced briefly at his compass and saw that the needle was pointed to the invisible something in their midst. Whatever was dispersing the cows was invisible even in the noon sun, yet it was exuding a powerful magnetic field that was detectable on Tom's compass. Tom and Ellen could follow the mysterious, invisible object as it made its way through the herd of animals, as the panicky animals were constantly stampeding away from it. Whatever it was, it was heading south, as did the needle of Tom's compass.

Chapter 17 Encounters

“It's still moving,” he was muttering. Then, all of a sudden, “It's got me,” he yelled. “It's saying, ‘We are watching you.' ” Then there was silence. I kept taking increasingly longer exposures to try to catch whatever he was talking about. I could not see what was causing him such intense anxiety. My colleague's frantic actions and tone of voice increased my adrenaline. I knew that if something out there in the dead of night wanted to harm us, we were sitting ducks. Then he said, “It's getting smaller.” Then, “It's gone.” Over and over, he kept muttering, “Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ.”

I asked him what had happened. He was still shaken. “Something big was in the trees just in front of us, it blotted out all the stars through the binoculars,” he declared. “It took control of my mind. It told me it was watching us.” He sounded very confused and bewildered. I had worked closely with him on numerous occasions and knew he was not prone to sudden flights of imagination. His distinguished academic career had not prepared him for anything like this.

Chapter 19 The Tunnel

As Mike brought the binoculars to his eyes, Jim heard the sharp sucking in of breath. Jim could see that the light was now more than a foot wide and was still growing larger. This very obviously was not a reflection. The dirty yellow expanding light seemed to be positioned just above the ground, rather than directly on the ground, but Jim could not be sure. “It's a tunnel, not just a light,” Mike whispered. Jim ignored his partner's growing agitation as he increased the length of the time exposures to forty, then fifty seconds. Mike was now standing up. “Jesus Christ,” Mike said hoarsely. “Something's in the tunnel!”

Jim looked carefully at the light below. It had now expanded to more than two feet. Something that big should definitely register on his film. “Oh, my God,” Mike said suddenly, thoroughly frightened. “There is a black creature climbing out. I see his head.” Jim felt alarm. His companion was plainly bordering on panic.

“It has no face,” whispered Mike. “Oh, my God, it just climbed out.” Jim rubbed his eyes and shook his head. All he could see was a dirty yellow light, now about four feet in diameter, a hundred feet below him. Why couldn't he see what Mike was seeing? Suddenly, it dawned on him. The binoculars. He motioned for Mike to hand them to him, but not before increasing the time exposure to ninety seconds.

Mike ignored him. “It's on the ground,” he said. “Oh, my God, it walked away.” As Mike danced on the ledge a few feet away, plainly in a panicky state, Jim could see the light decreasing in size. Within thirty seconds, the dull yellow circle had shrunk to about half its full diameter and was losing intensity. In the meantime, Jim pulled Mike over close to him and asked, “What happened?”

“A big black creature just crawled through that tunnel, got onto the ground, and walked away,” Mike said. “That's what happened. And it's lurking around here somewhere.”

Chapter 23 Vandals

After 1999, there were other sightings of the large, reddish hyenalike creature, once by a ranch employee and also by a local man a few miles from the ranch. In both cases the creature fit Tom's description of the original two-hundred-pound animal.

Tom had seen other strange animals on the ranch, of course, like the large wolves, one of which was bulletproof, that had haunted the ranch for several weeks after the family had moved onto the property and then had disappeared into the mists, never to be seen again. Tom also told me about some tiny bright red birds that had suddenly appeared. For a few days the birds, about the size of a wren, fluttered around a couple of trees near one of the abandoned homesteads and then vanished, forever. The birds' fiery red color together with their tiny size made them seem more like tropical birds, not indigenous to northeast Utah. Tom also told me about huge spiders he had seen in the same area around the abandoned homestead. Just like the birds, he saw the large spiders for a few weeks, then never saw them again.

Other locals saw strange animals as well. In October 1998, a man and his wife were returning to their home. As they drove along the narrow roads about three miles from the ranch, the wife spied some movement in the field next to the roadway. It was dusk, but there was still sufficient light to make out a humanlike figure running across the field. As the couple watched, the figure kept up the pace of an Olympic sprinter over hundreds of yards. They could not make out its features, but it looked like a dark, very muscled man running smoothly and effortlessly at an unbelievable speed. The creature or man was running in the direction of the ranch. What amazed the two witnesses was the smooth and rapid pace the running figure sustained. They watched it as it disappeared gradually from their field of view.

The rest of the chapters devolve into

What Goes On At The Ranch Today?

In 2004 the team that was investigating Skinwalker Ranch, National Institute for Discovery Science, became defunct. Later in 2005 Colm Kelleher and George Knapp would then publish the Hunt For The Skinwalker book. The book attracted the attention of Defense Intelligence Agency official James Lacatski who contacted Robert Bigelow about the ranch. Bigelow then contacted his senator friends Harry Reid and Ted Stevens, both senators agreed that the fruitless efforts of investigating Skinwalker Ranch needed 22 million dollars of the Department of Defense's budget to further investigate the ranch: The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was created. After 5 years of research the program concluded that they might have seen UFOs.

For all his time, money and efforts, Robert Bigelow was awarded the Pigasus Award by James Randi.

Category #2, to the funding organization that supported the most useless study of a supernatural, paranormal or occult, goes to Robert Bigelow, of the Bigelow Tea family. Mr. Bigelow not only gave large sums of money to Harvard University's Professor John Mack and to million-seller author Bud Hopkins on the strength of their "alien abduction" beliefs, but also purchased (for a purported $230,000) a "haunted ranch" in Utah where UFO attacks and "interdimensional portals" had shown up, in the wake of mysterious "cattle mutilations." Mr. Bigelow lives in a walled-in home in Las Vegas.

Randi's great. If you ever need a giggle look him up on youtube.

In 2016 Bigelow sold the ranch to Adamantium Real Estate LLC, after the purchase, roads leading to the ranch were blocked, the perimeter was guarded by cameras and barbed wire, and signs were posted that aimed to prevent people from approaching the ranch. They then trademarked "Skinwalker Ranch" and are planning on using it as a brand for "providing recreation facilities; entertainment services, namely, creation, development, production, and distribution of multimedia content, internet content, motion pictures, and television shows." We're getting into some Scooby Doo shit now

In 2020 real estate tycoon Brandon Fugal announced ownership of the ranch and a partnership with the Hutchings Museum Institute to better understand the historical significance of the ranch.

Here's Fugal's Newsweek article talking about the ranch.

People often ask me, "Are you a believer"? My honest answer is, "No. I am an experiencer." I don't believe, per se, but I believe what I saw and I am convinced that we continue to witness unusual activity that I cannot personally explain. Others are interested, too. The award-winning rapper, singer and producer Post Malone visited Skinwalker Ranch in February 2021 and I gave him a tour of the property.

Look at this mystery neighbor looking motherlover

Here's the official Skinwalker Ranch website. where they greatly encourage you to become a Skinwalker Ranch Insider subscriber. When you subscribe you also get access to the 24/7 webcam livestream. I'm sure that's really worth the money.

Also get a load of this guy from their The Team page:

Commonly known by his codename “Dragon”, Bryant Arnold is the Head of Security and Safety Officer on Skinwalker Ranch. As a trusted friend and advisor to Brandon Fugal for over 25 years, Bryant is a vital part of the day-to-day operations on the ranch. He prevents any and all who may unwisely attempt to trespass on the grounds and assists the investigations to ensure safety at all times. Bryant is a licensed, armed private security officer in the state of Utah, and is recognized as an expert marksman.

Professional mall ninja boomer.

THEY SELL A T-SHIRT OF THIS GUY AT THE GIFTSHOP AHAHAHAHA

There's also a """History"""channel series about the ranch, which is popular enough for four seasons, apparently.

There's also https://www.skinwalkerranch.org which is run by the researchers at the ranch, I think

The .org website has a lot more meat on it's bones than the .com website, such as these striking photos:

several strange numbers are seen from satellite photos looking overhead, apparently etched into the rocks. I have found numerous cases of these, and this is just one example. A illusion from a random shadow? Or something more sinister?

these strange words appeared on Erik Bard's computer screen late one night as the security cameras were going off due to motion alarms. Erik yelled at his screen (from his home in Salt lake) to show him something, and suddenly the pixels on the screen melted and these words appeared. This is the exact picture Erik saw that night.

photo of a entity at skinwalker ranch, I can not remember the source...

Mayo man kinda' spooky ngl fam

is this the skinwalker?

alien dave took this photo around 2003 at skinwalker ranch of a kangaroo like creature, or is it a common deer?

The website is also host to a lot of documents and pdf files of interviews, NIDS reports and newspaper clippings. It also has a timeline of the ranch which includes a link to an Angelfire website about Mormons finding injun gold. Goddang that's a whole 'nother rabbit hole that I'm not about to go down.

It was also home to a forum, which is now dead and archived. The !forumposters might get a kick out of digging around in there.

And of course, the official Youtube channel, which has a plethora of shaky phone footage of blurs in the sky. Also cave exploring videos, that's kinda' neat.

Actual UFO Evidence

Well by now you're probably thinking "C'mon LeDouche! There has to be some photo evidence of all the reported UFO activity!" And you're right, there is!

They captured not one, but two UFOs over the ranch!

And, and!... That's it. This is what decades of investigation and 22 million dollars gets you.

Well as much as I have rightfully taken the piss out of all of this I do think the Skinwalker Ranch itself is pretty interesting, the stories at least. And I think it would be pretty cool to be a professional UFO hunter with millionaire and government backing.

About two years ago, on 24 December 2022, I recall a disaster event shown on mainstream TV which did not even make a blip on national SA radar, because it was well into the holiday season, and around that time ratings for viewership was always lowest because saffers at this point of the year would not give a shit if the country was sliding into the ocean in the style of that San-Francisco disaster movie played by THE ROCK, as all Saffers would be drunk and away from their homes.

It additionally brought my attention, because it was so very short on National TV news broadcasts, but on the provincial level, and on the local level of Boksburg town (the city in which the disaster occurred), it was a beehive. There was other international news in that time which i forgot which occupied the majority of the 30minutes news timeframe those days, but i forgot what including news about the everpresent Zuma-corruptions and how he's still fighting fricking the Zondo-Commission charges till this day

Also, at least once every December-holiday period there is one colossal crash of a taxi with another taxi on the news, with a death-toll of like 30-50 people, because the minibus taxis which the very poor people (mostly black peeps) use to transport themselves from their work to their families for the holiday month, tends to be overloaded and overpassengered to the extreme, where there is a popular joke about SA minibus taxi driver are so greedridden that they fricking detach their fricking steering wheels, and reattatch spanners to the drive column instead so they have space on their right-hand side for another passenger to sit from, as the taxi is already so massively overloaded with people and luggage! (in RSA we drive on the Left-side of the road as per Bongland)

Jokes which are often very much based upon reality

https://www.newsflare.com/video/250636/taxi-driver-caught-using-wrench-as-steering-wheel

The point is that traffic and vehicular related accidents with lax safety standards practiced by poor 3rd world people, in 20 year old ROAD-unworthy vehicles, and safety-standardsunenforced by the authorities or traffic police of SA, has made Saffricans very jaded with yearly traffic turbo-disaster crashes, especially during the famous crush of the December holiday season where basically 80% of the country's population migrates from one part of the country temporarily for at least two weeks, making our roads as stagnated as sand-blocked firehoses. And the inevitable event of 50 people dying when two raggitty taxis with no seatbelts, and the people packed literally like sardines end up crashing, and the empty promisises by the gov they will enforce stricter traffic police stop-checks on all road-unworthy vehicles blabla blabla, has further made people less prone to give a shit when some catastrophe involving 40 dead school children sprawling on the sidewalk of Gauteng Technicon or whatever.

HOWEVER, upon further looking at the event, it was both much much more gruesome than the typical clown car crash event, and also had a heapload of drama involved

The explosion event shocked and tramatized the residents of Boksburg, and some after events would stir some drama for all involved, including those who filmed the event.

To begin Boksburg is located within the golden province of Gauteng , and like all settlements located within the Golden province, is densely populated. There's always pedestrians within the streets and sidewalks, and and the roads are always jammed up, so any terrorist who wants to suicide bomb SA would pick literally any city within the Gauteng conurbation.

THE EXPLOSION EVENT:

On 24 December 2022, about between 6:30 - 7:00 AM, a Fuel-Truck which transporting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), got stuck beneath a bridge close to Tambo Memorial Hospital. To the luckless fool, the bridge had appeared to be high enough for the truck to pass, but the incline at the bottom of the bridge raised the back of the truck and jammed it against the underside of the bridge at approximately 06:15am SAST (Safrican standard time).

The driver had immediately realize that trouble was in the air. According to ISS ( Innovative Staffing Solutions - the truckdriver employer), upon noticing that the tanker's cap having been scraped off, he first informed them and then alerted the fire department, then attempted to cordon off the area.

https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2022-12-29-driver-tried-everything-in-his-power-to-prevent-casualties-in-boksburg-explosion-report

Unfortunately being the way that South-Africans are, people literally just ignored him, no matter how much he tried to instill upon the locals the extreme danger they were in . Pedestrians would just ignore him, and walk past the panicking driver, right past the truck with the giant fricking hazard signs, obviously crushed beneath the bridge, with impatient Joburg drivers zooming between and beside the stuck truck. Later a private security guard would arrive on scene and immediately also understood the impending danger, but their combined efforts fell on death ears.

https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/boksburg-explosion-driver-warned-people-to-stay-away-from-truck-fire-before-blast-killed-15-people-20221225

At about 06:45am SAST, the truck ignited. I don't know how the heck, if from the crash or because it was deadly hot in december, or becuase the liquefied petroleum was extremely flammable. By this point Firefighters had arrived and tried to extinguish the inferno.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/24/world/africa/johannesburg-tanker-explosion.html

At about 7:00 AM, the Fuel-Truck exploded, but it was a smallish explosion which didn't overtly harm anyone, and this initial explosion would be followed by 2 biggish explosions and a series of smaller explosions, looking and sounding like fireworks going off. This commotion attracted a crowd people who were curious about the activity, which set the stage for disaster and tragedy. Because the 4th and largest explosion, was on a vastly different scale, instead of fireworks, as colossal fireball would cover 500 meters into each direction of the road, funneled by the bridge overhanging the truck causing the flames to spread amongst the ground, instead of rising directly up into the atmosphere like atom bombs famously do, and thus doing maximum damage and injury to the people and building on the ground surface.

CHAOS:

You will notice that many of the initial articles which came out the day or week after the explosion have differing and inconclusive stats about the injured and dead, because of the vast amount of unorganized chaos which followed.

https://www.news24.com/citypress/news/live-gas-tanker-explosion-rocks-boksburg-20221224

To begin with in this sea of shit, the local hospital of the vicinity was also caught in the blast and partially destroyed, with several nurses injured and outright killed. So when people would arrive or be brought to this local hospital, there was already complete anarchy with the nurses barely capable of taking care of themselves and their burnt colleagues, never mind taking in a hundred burned people, even on a good day the place would have been overwhelmed.

Thus a heapload of people would be ferried to neighbouring hospitals, including workers and nurses at the local hospital as well! so when finally 48 hours later, the dust had settled and the chaos become at least somewhat organized, the police would start properly gathering reports on the injured and diseased. And proper casualty figures could be compiled and reported. But in the immediate aftermath reports from different journ*lists and Hospitals conflicted this counting, as can be seen from the above article titles.

Thus to amplify the horror of the day, the damage to the Tambo Memorial Hospital (the local nearby hospital) left it unable to render assistance in the immediate aftermath, despite its proximity to the disaster site. In fact its proximity was probably the bad luck of the day - had it been located just a kilometer farther, it would have been unaffected, and capable of assistance.

https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/boksburg-blast-tambo-memorial-hospital-now-fully-operational-after-r33m-repairs-20230130

https://www.news24.com/citypress/news/mistakes-were-made-that-worsened-the-deadly-boksburg-explosion-20230108

But the chaos was further amplified by the slow and inept response by the SAPS (South African Police Services), who arrived well well beyond the final explosion. Private Security companies would be the 1st responders to alleviate the chaos, and provide 1st-aid and transport for the injured. There was widespread condemnation for the police r-slurred reaction time.

Additionally, the firefighters at that time was the closest in the area, and with them caught and killed in the blast, the fire would rage for hours before reinforcements could arrive.

The Gauteng Emergency Medical Services, the ambulances, was at least much more successful and competent, and a sumtotal of 30 ambulances would be used throughout the day, and about 3 hours after the explosion, all surviving injured would be ferried to the closest neighbouring hospitals in the vicinity, as the Tambo Memorial Hospital was completely inert.

HORROR OF THE INJURED: (NSFW)

Here is a reddit thread about one of the better videos which had captured the immediate aftermath of the tanker-explosion. Be warned this may be distressing.

https://old.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFrick/comments/17kybcf/its_not_a_movie_set

This particular video was circulated amongst social media, like Facebook and WhatsApp groups, well beyond the ability to trace its origin. The man recording the video was widely criticized same day in the immediate aftermath, because he would reply to many injured survivors asking for aid, that they should go to the hospital, since in context the Tambo hospital was just 50-100 meters from the incident, and would theoretically be better salvation for burn victims rather than useless attempts at aid in the middle of the still burning street.

At that time, the man recording the video had not known that Tambo Hospital had been destroyed, and people seeing this video without context did not know n turn, that the man was giving sound advice that the hospital theoretically was just a short walk away. The man would receive hate and death threats for his supposed callousness.

The supreme horror on social media like twitter (before fricking jannies cleaned it up as usual becuase gore ) would be in shock at the state of the survivors, which depending on their share of bad luck would suffer amalgamations of 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns - and would be so gruesomely disfigured that many responders of the Private Security helpers, and ambulance drivers, could not determine their race, prior to before they spoke, and their language or accents gave them away.

This is because many of the injured would be covered in black soot and their skin would either be flapping loosely from their arms and faces, or be so discoloured from burning that the skin was bleached white, even the skin of african people. Their clothes had melted into their skin.

In this video of the redditpost, every single of the burn-victim individuals filmed would perish within 48 hours from their wounds.

=====(Short Transcript from the Redditpost video)

In the beginning of the video, a presumably coloured man begs the man recording: "please, Sir, I'm in pain."

And the guy filming responds: "Go to the hospital." (this came across as very heartless)

In the background dozens and dozens of men and women can be heard screaming in acute agony, crying and begging for god.

In the next moment around the corner from whence the fireball blast came from, are 4 seemingly naked people crawling on the grass or walking around in circles - either shocked or dazed, and in pain and discombobulation. Their skin are bleached white from where the very clothes were incinerated from their backs.

It needs to be understood that these people were standing 300-500 meters away from the explosion, but the bridge and walls had funneled the firebomb like the fins of a waterslide, and people not even aware of the burning Fuel-truck half a kilometer away were caught in flesh-searing heat before they even knew wtf hit them.

RESPONSIBILITY:

With the dust finally settling the next day, social media was aghast at the horror of the injuries sustained by survivors, and anger had mounted to who was culpable for this atrocity.

The driver of the tanker survived the incident and initially faced multiple charges, including culpable homicide. "The day after the incident, the South African Police Service (SAPS) stated that the driver, who received only minor injuries during the incident, had been arrested at a local hospital and would face charges of reckless driving, negligence, and multiple counts of culpable homicide and malicious damage to property."

https://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/south-africa/2022-12-25-boksburg-explosion-tanker-driver-arrested

The suspect will appear before the Boksburg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday. “Preliminary investigations found that the loaded gas tanker got stuck trying to drive through a low bridge and the effect resulted in an explosion. The gas tanker was allegedly driving from Richards Bay en route to Botswana,” Muridili said.

https://www.jacarandafm.com/news/news/boksburg-gas-tanker-driver-set-appear-court-wednesday

The driver was expected to appear before the Boksburg Magistrate's Court on 28 December 2022; however, on that day it was reported that he had been released and the charges against him had been dropped, as there was not enough evidence against him.

This created a shitstorm on social media as angry Safricans and Boksburg residents were grabbing their pitchforks in anger for this driver to be jailed

https://www.zimoja.co.za/articles/the-driver-of-the-gas-tanker-in-boksburg-is-now-a-free-man?6f5cf364_page=2

The Gauteng province Premier expressed regret that the fricking driver had been released and promised that more evidence would be gathered for a stronger case, but 6 months after these lofty words, jack shit had been done since by the SAPS

6 MONTHS LATER:

https://www.citizen.co.za/news/boksburg-blast-6-months-later-june-2023

And thus people at the Boksburg municipal area would remain pissed. "Members of the public alleged that metro police, who should have been helping the fire department evacuate the area before the explosion, arrived two hours after the blast."

Basically generic Safrica 3rd world system-wide incompetence - the Sewoll Ferry disaster aint got shit on our r-sluration

"Calls to emergency numbers by the trucking company's control room also proved fruitless on the day, with the fire department deployed late." Forensic investigator Stan Bezuidenhout called the event a “tragicomedy of errors”.

There's also still no clarity about why the driver chose to proceed on this route when a washed-out sign, still legible at close quarters, indicated the height restriction of the railway bridge under which it became stuck.

The driver's fate remains a mystery. He has allegedly returned to work and is driving hazardous material tankers again. His employer, ISS, did not have a contactable spokesperson available by the time of filing this story. OF COURSE

https://www.citizen.co.za/news/south-africa/courts/boksburg-tanker-explosion-legal-action-january-2023

The families of the casualties were sueing basically everyone, the municipality, the trucking-company and police good luck buddy

https://www.zimoja.co.za/articles/the-driver-of-the-gas-tanker-in-boksburg-is-now-a-free-man?6f5cf364_page=2

People were understandably upset, as it appeared the Fuel-truckdriver was walking free, not because of a lack of evidence of malpractice, but because the metropolitan police was so fricking incompetent and inept, that they couldn't even build such a basic case.

"The National Prosecuting Authority says the driver in the Boksburg gas truck explosion has been released due to a lack of evidence. Therefore he did not appear in court. Sibusiso Valashiya the regional chairperson of NEHAWU said he was not happy with how the government was handling this whole matter. He said the driver being released from police custody with no charges was a denial of justice to those affected. He said the families of nine health care workers need the driver to take accountability for his actions."

Yeah peeps were very fricking mad, especially the family of the woman who lost 4 children in the explosion as in the Youtube video below.

https://www.citizen.co.za/kathorus-mail/news-headlines/local-news/2023/12/25/mother-who-lost-4-children-in-boksburg-gas-explosion-speaks-about-her-tough-year

"On 30 December 2022, national police spokesperson Brenda Muridili announced that the police investigation of the explosion was considered "top priority" by the provincial SAPS in Gauteng, and stated that the investigation was at an advanced stage."

It's been 2 years - jackshit happened

IS DRIVER INNOCENT?

Now the thing is I've painted the truck-driver as a badguy, but people began to examine the events afterwards because the police sure as shit weren't doing their jobs. Journos and randoms looked at the street signs on google maps, and saw the important bridge-warning sign to be illegible and in disrepair - thus the truck driver would have been unwarned that the truck would not fit beneath the specific bridge with its unique bump. However war continued to rage on social media about the driver should have been cautious and knowingabout the approximate dimensions of his vehicle and thus it was his incompetence which lead the hazardous vehicle to be prone to accident and danger.

Further, the driver was reported to appear to have helped, and take responsibility for his accident, as records show he immediately phoned his company, the Police and Fire Brigade about the incident and danger, and had in fact taken precautions to warm people desperately about the imminent danger. Which is why the Fire Brigade arrived so early.

On the other hand, since he survived and was absent, many people on social media accused him of having fled the scene, leaving onlookers to their unknowing doom.

https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2022-12-29-driver-tried-everything-in-his-power-to-prevent-casualties-in-boksburg-explosion-report

According to some reports he had succumbed to gas inhalation, and had been taken by some nurses to the Tambo Hospital 15 minutes before the final 4th explosion. Man still disbelieved this story, and raged on in the absence of conclusive police report results so long after.

Now chances are quite likely this driver is innocent of malpractice and a comedy of errors just placed him in a bad spot, but many people feel anger towards him still.

JULIAS MALEMA GOES FULL R-SLUR AS USUAL:

While the rest of the Safrican political parties and representatives gave generic but solemn pity and commemoration for the victims, like Cyril Ramaphosa (our current prez) said he sent his condolences to the families of the deceased and wished a speedy recovery to the injured.

https://www.enca.com/news/boksburg-blast-president-ramaphosa-sends-condolences-victims-families

Instead Julias has the Trumpian ability to fricking make any inappropriate moment about himself and his fricking EFF tards.

====Meanwhile, the EFF has called for the CEO of the logistics company, Infinity Gas, which owns the truck. “Ultimately, the CEO is responsible for all operations of the company and is culpable for the tragedy,” the EFF said.====

Julias would go on his usual anti-crapitalist rant about how the driver must not be scapegoated by racist whites, and that the company top command should instead be arrested and so on. This in of itself wasn't unpopular as the victims, 3rd of which were white also intended to sue the company for reparation, but the inappropriate vulgarity of Julias inserting his own politics drew criticism even from his supporters.

The EFF decried the lack of safety of transporting economically-needed but hazardous shit like liquid gas, and wished to reinstate transport via trains as in the old days.......

But the guy was too foolish to identify why south africa utilized trucks as the main transport of all goods in the country, namely that RSA trains are in an absolute state of disrepair and corruption under ANC management for the past 30 years, so that RSA private companies gradually moved from train-based transport to trucking over the decades out of sheer supply and logistical necessity. This would even have been a good talking point for Malena against the ANC, but alas he's too

Anyways lots of from Juju inserting himself in a tragedy.

CARTE BLANCHE INVESTIGATION:

Carte Blanche | M-Net is a South African investigative journ*lism television series that airs on M-Net during prime time viewing on Sunday nights, they began in 1988, and basically they were a private news network who uncovered corruption within the state, at an extremely high quality level of investigative journ*lism. Carte Blanche set the standard of RSA reporters, and has been a staple of Southern African news which are not covered anywhere else.

They had investigated every single misdoings of the ANC gov, and basically their popularity, infamy and wealth exploded as a direct consequences of the corruption which they covered.

Every Sunday 7-o-clock, before the famous 8-o-clock weekly movie on SA M-net, Safricans would get their weekly dose of depression from all of the cockroach-invested rocks which Carte Blanche overturned. Anyways, they are worth several hundred Longposts on their own, but they are infamous.

Carte Blanche found several discrepencies within all of the stories by everyone involved in the explosion, the driver, his employer company, the police, and municipality, so many fricking lies

Carte Blanche found that the calls to emergency services were initially unsuccessful, and that the Ekurhuleni Fire Department eventually answered a call. Showcasing the systemic uselessness and ineptitude of Safrican emergency call centers.

Carte Blanche also found that law enforcement (SAPS and the Metro Police) didn't arrive at the scene until after the final explosion. This was an important detail unknown by other journos and the public, till Carte Blanche discovered it, and added to the public meltdown on twatter on hating on the shit police response

Carte Blanche also found that the height of the truck was 4m, higher than the 3.6m indicated on the bridge, potentially contradicting the account of his employer. Showing the truckdriver must have gone full r-slur in driving under the bridge which should have been evident to any experienced and sober trucker, that the fricking thing was too low, further implicating the trucker's incompetence.

Anyways this is the best and most comprehensive video of the incident, at 20 minutes if you guys care about it, be warned that it is also extremely explicit and NSFW.

Anyways that's all I git, GOOD NIGHT!

Background

Warhammer 40k is the worlds most popular tabletop miniatures wargame and attracts over 9000 nerds every year to empty their wallets buying overpriced figures. The Horus Heresy (HH) is a time period set in the 10,000 years before Warhammer 40k, thus it is called 30k for short. It was supposed to be about the good times before the galaxy turned to shit and war all the time, but when they decided to write 500 books about the HH it all sounded suspiciously similar to the grimdarkness of 40k.

If you don't know anything about this series I want you to read every word on this page and then click every link. I will explain no further because you're not entitled to my emotional labor sweaty. (https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Horus_Heresy)

Now that the final book is out and the Horus Heresy is over let's see what the fa/tg/uys on a mongolian basket weaving forum think.

Now that the most epic novel series in history has ended, what do you think about it? What is your general opinion of the Horus Heresy?

I think it's based because it made fat stacks of cash caring about anything besides profit motive is for lorestrags

Kind of underwhelming, but that's more or less what I was expecting it to be.

fpbp

It should have remained an uncertain vaguely defined mythic past. The demystification of the Horus Heresy is the single most damaging thing GW has done to the setting since its inception. And all that damage, just for a hundred books of daddy issue shlock. Jesus Christ.

Elaborating on what happened in Horus Heresy ruined the whole mood of the HH setting. Horus Heresy should've been the tales of epic battles and conflicting myths that historians had to argue on which ones were the truths. It should've been the Epic of Gilgamesh of 40k, but instead we got fricking capeshit into it.

Nerds screw everything by insisting every loose thread or unclarified apocrypha get a spin off series running twleve seasons minimum with a breakfast cereal.

(also I think they have 40k funkopops )

>frick there's so many contradictory accounts of who runs into the throne room, plus we have our pet characters we want to shove in there too

>what the frick are we going to do

>how about we have all of them conga line in?

>genius, print it!

It's hilariously stupid

I read the first half dozen and a couple of others. I might read a few more of the ones that cover actually significant events rather than just treading water. Eventually. Perpetuals are still r-slurred.

They ruined more than they add, but I do enjoy the odd novels here and there. I just wish they'd lean more into the vagueness of it all, like having conflicting information between novels and characters, just to make it less a canon novel and more in-universe records of the events. Also >>91714956 is correct, Perpetual is an r-slured concept.

In case you're wondering a perpetual is an author invention where they thought inserting random human OCs that are totes immortal, and come back from the dead in a setting about constant war and dying, would be super cool and not dampen the setting or their heroic sacrifices at all.

(I haven't read these books so don't ask me to elaborate on my smugposting about someone else smugposting)

In the end, was there some nameless soldier torn to shreds by Horus in front of the Emprah or not? I don't care enough to read 500 pages.

More or less. He's a perpetual, so he's got a lot more experience with a guardsmen (which understandably pisses a lot of people off) but he is ultimately just a guy armed with a lasgun and his balls.

>Originally just a marine

>Fans take the idea and make it of a normal relatively unremarkable dude, the whole point being that its not anyone important, just a normal man standing there.

>It becomes incredibly popular, to the point where you have to remind people its not the origional story

>BL takes the idea and missed the entire point by making him a perpetual, some immortal (for no reason) super hero that they inserted for no reason

Gosh, this was all a huge mistake.

The single worst thing about the series is making the setting revolve around highlander knockoffs, who have no relevance to anything outside their novels, except to be OC donut steals for the authors to mouth off with. Even though the emperor, pre-history, and arguably primarchs should have remained mysterious and ambiguous, the lore of the perpetuals sucks in its own right even prior to considering how much else they shut the door on and devalue.

For the zoomers in the audience

this is a good point. Perpetuals are such a spectacularely tone-deaf and useless addition that it feels like a shitpost. They could not have made the feeling of the setting more awkwardly inconsistent if they had decided that every 200th person born in the Imperium has a big dildo growing out of their forehead but up till now nobody has mentioned them - now though, read all about Inquisitor dildohead and make your own dildohead space marine chapter and didn't you know that Dante has a dildo growing out of his forehead under his mask?

dildoman is living rent free

The lore speculations as to what he was were more interesting than being told that he was just one of many randomly born highlanders who overlevelled and bit off more than he could chew in PVP with the chaos gods, because he was too toxically masculine to listen to the "earth mother" and the whiny narcissist perpetuals who critically sabotaged him.

bc he was too to listen to and

Plus perpetuals are fricking dumb. Throw that shit in the trash. Emps should have been the last of the Men of Gold trying desperately to right the sinking ship after the DAoT. He gained huge psychic power by devouring the Sigilittes of which he spares Malcador because he defected. This allows him to be seen both as "the best of humanity" seeing as the men of gold were the best. A "shaman gestalt" if you see the Sigilittes as shaman. & a powerful relic of the DAoT in being the last truly powerful figure of that time. In my headcanon this is the best way to bring it all together. You don't need to agree with me

this is not the worst idea I've heard, and I've read a lot of trash opinions on /tg/

>Erebus

>The anathame

>Changing the ending

There were so many problems but these are probably the greatest ones. Black Library comes out looking so fricking mid from this series. Forget the promise of a golden, nigh-mythical age of which so much has been forgotten. Forget the promise of legendary demigods encompassing all the greatness and good of mankind falling into the rank madness of Chaos in payment for their sins, for they are just playthings of a single super-plotter who walks around with evil tattooed on his face.

Erebus and the Anathame being the prime cause weakened the entire Horus Heresy because it instantly made readers ask why couldn't someone have just realized he was a fricking sus mofo and knifed him before he did anything with the magic McGuffin. It was so damaging that they had to damage control and go "nononono, Horus was already turning on the Emperor and his brothers before this! It's not because some mook with a knife tainted him!" when, of course, that's literally how they portrayed it. And Erebus just conveniently shows up everywhere to serve as the prime motivator

Erebus and the Anathame basically read like the authors thought the audience would be too stupid to understand resentment, jealousy, ambition, and pride driving the most powerful of warlords to rise up against their father, so BL decided that they needed a real antagonist and a magic item to make plot happen at the start of the series.

Speak your truth King

In the original (real) 40k background, Horus is an obvious Lucifer figure who takes half the angels with him instead of a third because it's a grimmer, darker, edgier setting. He was the best of the Emperor's Primarchs but comes to believe he can run things better than the Emperor himself and so turns on him. This fits with him continuing the crusade, doing all the work as far as he can see, yet being told to just turn over everything he has conquered to his father. Why? Having seen all he has seen, met the corruption of chaos on the fringes beyond mankind, being the best warlord he knows of, trusted by his men, why not conquer the Imperium for himself?

All the headcannonn the authors madeup about the Emperor making a webway is meant to explain the question the original story begged

>what is the Emperor busy with that's more important than the crusade? Why can't he keep leading on the frontline? Is he just lazy?

but it replaces one problem with another

>why couldn't the Emperor simply tell the primarchs what he was up to?

>or get someone like Pertubo or Dorn or Ferrus to help him build faster

>why the need for secrecy from his own?

"perpetuals" one of the worst concepts introduced by the bad writers. There are multiple earlier explanations of the Emperor's origin which are better. Rick Priestly's unofficial headcanon (as it was supposed to be a mystery allowing the player to create his own story) was the Emperor was an AI from the Dark Age of Tech who needed psychic souls to run. The reason it seemed so callous was because it did completely lack sympathy. It led for mankind to survive at all costs with no consideration given the suffering of an individual imperial serf. Like Caesar's ideal for the Legion in FNV.

Another superior origin for the Emperor from earlier was a bunch of shaman, noticing how daemons born of human emotions were getting more powerful, and starting to eat them thereby empowering themselves and preventing psykers from reincarnating, performed a ritual of group-suicide, whereby they all merged in the warp to make 1 super-psyer, more powerful than any of the daemons, and reincarnate as this ubermensch.

@jannys please do the sneedful and pin this effortpost

When normies have loud s*x, I'm playing Baby Shark or Rickroll or some shit on repeat at my loudest. I'm done being nice. I will let them know that I can hear them, because they already know I can. They're just banking on the fact that I won't say or do anything. But I will. Thanks for the idea @universal

Intution

The concept of having a “sixth sense” is paradoxical. If you feel iffy about something and don't do it, you'll usually never know whether you were right or wrong. There are exceptions of course. You can have a bad feeling about your mom, and then realize she has cancer that day.

Today I had one of those moments. I wanted to go to the beach to collect shells. It rained so I didn't go. I also wanted to stop at a shack at the beach that has some absolutely legendarily yummy food, even for veganbros. Alas, I was thwarted.

I wanted to go to the weed dispensary to get some bud instead (having not hit bong in ages). I got struck with the strongest sense of “don't do it” I've felt in my life, and it was related to driving. I feel like if I drove, I would be mangled right this very moment.

I've hinted at it a few in my posts, but I had a car accident that totaled my vehicle this year. It's made me afraid of driving but I don't really live somewhere where I have the luxury of crawling away from driving. Being an adult is strongly tied to driving in addition to the whole place not being pedestrian-friendly at all.

I got in my car and my music refused to sync with my car system. Whatever. I started driving and the dread was so strong I turned back and went home. This wasn't fear. It was like that feeling of someone staring at you from behind. Now did I dodge a horror or was I being a little b-word? We'll never know.

Do you relate? Ever had something similar happen where you didn't do something because of instinct and not fear?

On a side note, I have a Quest 3 and nothing to do with it. SWERF so no porn.

Ethan Crumbley

I relate a lot to Ethan Crumbley. Not because of his violence, but his mind filled with violent imagery. I see it too, Ethan. The difference is that I see it on myself. That white flesh exposed just white until a minute later, the blood floods like a leaky tap.

Leaky tap is the right metaphor. It feels like your leg is broken, your brain is broken, reality is broken. To not do it right now is a massive feat. The pain would hurt so good. It would overwhelm me, sometimes enough give me a panic attack.

I deserve the pain, the self-destruction. Evil flows through my veins, and all I do is wrong. I'm a bad person, and those who hurt me should be rewarded for their good deeds. Not one cut, not two. Four, five, then the half-assed first aid.

I'm a waste Ethan, we both are, we both should be chucked into the bin. I'm garbage, I'm trash, I want to overdose so badly.

Today, I'd like to discuss Ethan, the Oxford shooting, and a few things that went wrong. I'm doing it. Fewer Holly and some will be repeats because my brain is dead from all the pills no joke. Plus I need space for for the story. I think there's like 20 image limit.

The Birth of Ethan Crumbley

Crumbley is a Florida Man that moved to Massachusets a few years after his birth. This move disrupeted his regular development and ability to make friends. His parents also left him alone for long periods.

This is something mentioned by neigbours who have stated that the kid was ocasionally left overnight and instructed to make his own supper. He would also scream, and ocasionally knock at neighbors doors crying.

A bunch of sick shit happened during his childhood years. Red flag is an understatement. Let's talk about schools not giving a shit. I used to write about self-harm in high school. The school took the essays and published them in the newsletter as “good writing”. Uhm, I'm literally telling you I'm hurting myself habitually and I received praise. And back then it was pure cat scratches (i.e. just using a compass to scratch myself until I bleed).

You like my writing now, Mrs Pet? Oh wait, you're fricking dead. Shitty school counsellor. Your death will be nothing but a story to me as well. I should write about it and mail it to her children but I lack the vindictiveness. I might send this whole thing to her though although it would inevitably have police knocking at my door even though I've committed no crime except share literature.

Here's my gripe. I was left to suffer. When that suffering resulted in behavior that inconvenienced them, I got punished. What?! Frick off. As an adult I can't imagine treating anyone's child that way, yet alone one I was being paid to take care of. If I knew a child was hurting themselves, I'd take that as the purpose of my life to end my suffering.

I got sent to a counsellor who told me “well, you don't have to say anything if you don't want to” and that was the end of it. Never, ever, ever brought up again except to publish. Yes, at 28 as I process the cruelty of the adults of my childhood I am upset. These were my first encounters with genuine, unmitigated, “I don't give a frick despite my ability to and I don't care to justify it” malice.

I have 0 ill-will against peers. We were all growing up, and I probably harmed more kids than the reverse. That is my cross to bear, and I'm sorry. For peers who hurt me, you are forgiven. You couldn't have done better even if you wanted to. Doing worse was the pathway to doing better. The adults who knew? As much blood on your hands as there was on mine today as far as I'm concerned. A baby human came to you for help and you fricked them off. I can't think of a worse crime.

And don't post triggering content in a fricking newsletter for teens you fricking idiots. I can't fathom how many people learned how to hurt themselves from this or were triggered to start hurting themselves again, even if they only have the story in memory.

Ethan Crumbley's Red Flag

Crumbley didn't have red flags. They were crimson, something like the tail of a charmandar always following him around. This was not was not a child that should have been in a regular school, and it is evident and I'm probably not the first to point this out.

The report tries to not blame folks, but it's hard not to.

>We want to be clear that we are not placing any blame on these students for not reporting what they saw or heard or faulting them in any way. These students were children and not teachers, counselors, or mental health professionals. We mention the fact that they did not report what they saw and/or heard because it raises the likelihood that these students (and others) did not understand what, when, how, or where to report information about potential threats or concerning behavior

The first is a dead bird's head he kept in a jar. He eventually left it at school where it was discovered and caused great uproar in the school. Was it occult? An omen? Who would do something so perverse?

A deer head was also found, along with graffiti, but this was not an act from Crumbley. The graffiti was likely kids attempting to jump off the building hype surrounding the occult and the school. ]

There have also been reports that Crumbley had a countdown to November 30. This is not true. No students knew of the incoming shooting prior to the event.

As the report reveals

First, the data: During the 2021-22 school year, leading up to the shooting, the average daily attendance at OHS was 93% of students present/ On November 30, just over 93% of students were reported present, slightly higher than the daily average. Reported absent from OHS on November 30 were 112 students out of approximately 1,708 enrolled students.

Crumbley had had interactions with the counsellor prior but these was routine and nothing of note was found. Following that there were minor incidents, including with the Spanish teacher who noted that Crumbley said his family is “useless” or something to that effect. It should be noted that the counsellor's memories don't always align with those of others, which is a trend you'll see throughout the report.

The mention of “false recollection” is usually code for “is bullpooping”. They never say anyone is lying but they do point out that someone's account doesn't make sense or is contradicted by someone else.

So let's start with the nonsense of the day before and on the attack. Your jaw will drop when you realise exactly how things went down. This is a 500 page document I'm drawing from so forgive me, but for this day, I'm using bullet (kek) points. Also, he gets the Voldemort treatment but frick off you know his name.

• in the first period he pulled out a bullet and showed it to his teacher Kubina who was shocked but did not report it

• In the same class he was found looking at images of bullets on his phone

• 2nd period - “One of those students told police after the shooting that when he and the other student asked the Shooter if he wanted to be the person to write for the group, the Shooter did not respond. This student then saw the Shooter pretend to hold a gun. The student did not pay any attention to this gesture by the Shooter at the time.”

• In period 4, Kubina finally reports the bullet to Hopkins and Ejak (Dean)

“ Hopkins testified that he wrote, “I'll be touching base with him as well” because he saw that the original email was sent to two other staff members and he “was planning on being involved with the other two staff members.””

The kid brought bullets to school and showed them to his teacher in first base. That isn't a “I'll touch base with him” moment. It's school lockdown moment you dumb fricks. This is like going on a date and just carrying condoms in your hand and your date acts shocked when you wanna fugg at the end.

Eventually, Crumbley is sent to Pam Fine who's some anti-bullying officer. She asks him and he says he and his mom like shooting. The report points out the obvious and the same thing that happened to me

Had they asked the Shooter more about his shooting-range hobby, they may have discovered that his parents recently bought a handgun for him or his use at the range, which in turn may have provided greater context for Hopkins the next day when he again found himself dealing with concerning behavior by the Shooter.

Also

Neither Fine nor Hopkins searched the Shooter or his backpack during the meeting, nor did they ask him for consent to search. Which blows my mind. We don't know if he was strapped that day. He very well may have been.

We're in fourth period now. Fine calls his mom, then we get the whole “don't get caught” textl spiel between the two. In period five, you're going to love this one.

On cross-examination by the Shooter's attorneys, Dr. Anacker testified that the Shooter told her that at some point during the school day on November 29, 2021 he wrote in his journal that he was going to do the shooting the next day. It seems likely that the journal entry quoted above is the entry that the Shooter described to Dr. Anacker.

We're past crimson. We're devil-red.

Social media

Maybe that's normal in burgerland but most 15yos aren't posting pistols online.

Day of shooting

In registration class, the following occured:

During this class, Karpinski noticed that the Shooter was watching a video on his

phone in class that depicted a person shooting other people, shown from the gunman's

perspective

She alerts Fine and Karpinski but “Karpinski did not see the Shooter's behavior in watching this video (or viewing an image of bullets) as indicative of potential violence toward himself or others, but she thought it reflected a change in his typical personal behavior. Once again, we note that by promptly reporting concerning student behavior, Karpinski acted appropriately under the

circumstances.”

During math, he wrote weird stuff on a math test. His teacher went to the front office, causing him to be called to Ejak, but he had scratched away the majority of the disturbing content on his paper already. His parents were called and sent her the pictures. Both parents arrive, and they discuss the disturbing content before Ethan's backpack (with the weapon of murder) was retrieved but not searched.

His parents left, and it's noted that “Neither parent hugged or touched their son, or even said goodbye to him”.

There was a breakdown of communication. Stringing together everything in the past few days should have been important, at least enough to search him, but it wasn't. The student was allowed to returned to class and a based moment happened:

“While walking into Jasinski's classroom that day, a student said, “I wish it was the last day of school” (referring to the last day of school before the December holiday break). This student told police that the Shooter responded, “Don't worry, it is the last day of school.””

Then this conga line of shit happened:

• a student interviewed by police after the shooting said that the Shooter showed him a live round and one or two empty bullet casings. This student said that another student grabbed the live round out of the Shooter's hand and held it up as if to show the teacher, and the Shooter grabbed it back and put it away in his pocket or backpack. According to police

notes, this student also said that the Shooter asked him if he (the student) had earplugs; he thought that the Shooter had a hearing sensitivity and that was the reason for his

question. The Shooter also asked this student and the other two students at their classroom table again what classes they had during fifth hour.

• Another student in Jasinski's fourth-hour history class told law enforcement after the shooting that a friend of his showed him real bullets on the day of the shooting. After this

student saw the bullets, he saw his friend give the bullets back to the Shooter. There is no evidence that Jasinski saw the Shooter displaying ammunition in class that day or any

other day

• Another student in the Shooter's fourth hour World History class also heard the Shooter's comment about that day being the last day of school. Specifically, this student told police

that he heard the student described above say that he wished it was Christmas break and that the Shooter responded by saying that it was the last day of school. There is no

evidence that this student reported this statement to anyone at OHS prior to the shooting.

• This student also stated that near the end of the fourth hour class period (after lunch), the Shooter asked him and two others what classes they would be in during fifth and seventh

hours. After they told him where they would be, this student asked the Shooter why he wanted to know, but the Shooter did not respond.

The shooting (crumbley's perspective)

After the fourth period, he entererd the bathroom and cocked his gun, causing the kids there to shit themselves more. They were not killed

After exiting the First Bathroom with his gun, the Shooter shot and wounded seven OHS students, two of them fatally, in the span of only seven seconds. We believe that the last

best chance to prevent the shooting had already passed, when Counselor Shawn Hopkins and Dean Nick Ejak allowed the Shooter to return to his third-hour class with his

backpack, unaware that the backpack contained a gun and ammunition. When the Shooter emerged from the First Bathroom, no one could have prevented these first seven

victims from being shot, short of having a security officer in this bathroom or immediately outside it, ready to thwart the Shooter before he used his weapon

Once he began, Crumbley was ceaseless with his onslaught. He turned the corner, saw Phoebe and Eli first, and shot Phoebe in the face, though she survived. He then fired at a a group of girls, injuring Hana who was shot multiple times. One of his most tragic victims is Madisyn who he killed in the south 200 hallway but would not be let into the classroom out of fear. She was shot at close range by Crumbley.

There had been no announcement of the shooting so not everyone knew yet. Tate entered hall 200 from the courtyard and was murdered at close range from Crumbley. The last victim was Justin who was. In the bathroom. When Crumbley entered, he and Keegan noted his dead eyes. Keegan slowly walked away. Pots, an armed adult, creaked the door open for two seconds before fricking off. Crumbley then shot Justin at close range.

Sorry for the shitty post. Pills(no, not benzos) got me zombied up. Hard to not sleep all the time. In the next post we discuss the entire shooting and what the adults did lol so far we have

• not enter the bathroom with the gunman

• Not let in Hana who was shot and killed

It gets pretty bad and Pots is just the tip of the iceberg.

If you ever spend time in any conspiratard circle, or ever spend time watching the herstory channel at night, youll most likely have heard about a supposed ancient nuclear exchange that occured in Endia.

It goes like this:

• Apparently the most radioactive skeletons ever found were located in the Indus valley

*At that site, the skeletons were found lying face down, many holding hands, suggesting a sudden and violent death

*a giant crater was found nearby that couldn't have been formed by a meteor due to the lack of iron in the area. the PH in the lake and material around the lake suggest an outburst of energy from a nuke caused it, most likely originating from the atmosphere

*Oppenheimer (the guy from the movie) was apparently quoted as having said that "this was first nuclear detonation in MODERN times"

*Ancient city walls and mountains were apparently vitrified by a sudden heat

But the biggest pieces of evidence, and what was pretty much what started the whole craze, were the supposed text excerpts from the mahabharat down below:

"Gurkha, flying a swift and powerful vimana,

hurled a single projectile

charged with all the power of the Universe.

An incandescent column of smoke and flame,

as bright as ten thousand suns,

rose in all its splendor.

It was an unknown weapon,

and iron thunderbolt,

a gigantic messenger of death,

which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and

Andhakas.

The corpses were so burned

as to be unrecognizable.

Their hair and nails fell out.

Pottery broke without any apparent cause,

and the birds turned white.

…After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected…

…to escape from this fire,

the soldiers threw themselves in streams

to wash themselves and all their equipment."

"It was as if the elements had been unleashed. The sun spun

round. Scorched by the incandescent heat of the weapon, the

world reeled in fever. Elephants were set on fire by the heat and

ran to and fro in a frenzy to seek protection from the terrible

violence. The water boiled, the animals died, the enemy was

mown down and the raging of the blaze made the trees collapse

in rows as in a forest fire. The elephants made a fearful

trumpeting and sank dead to the ground over a vast area.

Horses and war chariots were burnt up and the scene looked

like the aftermath of a conflagration. Thousands of chariots

were destroyed, then deep silence descended on the sea. The

winds began to blow and the earth grew bright. It was a terrible

sight to see. The corpses of the fallen were mutilated by the

terrible heat so that they no longer looked like human beings.

Never before have we seen such a ghastly weapon and never

before have we heard of such a weapon. (59-60)

Around the middle of the 20th century, some Westerners came across the 2nd excerpt from above, and after the invention of nuclear warfare, it clicked to them that this passage seemed to remind them of something familiar... (uhh nukes lao)

Some of these Westerner's include:

Erich Von Daniken - A Swiss hotelier. If you ever heard of Ancient Astronaut theory, you can thank this guy. He managed to successfully psy op generations of gullible r-slurs into thinking that aliens nuked Sodom and Gomorrah lao). Recurring character in Ancient Aliens from the Herstory channel

David Hatcher Childress - main promoter of the nukes in Mahabharat theory. "Lost science" scholar, recurring character in Ancient Aliens from the Herstory channel. Time travel, tesla death ray, Atlantis, and antigrav truther.

Author's note - im crying bruh built like a groyper

It should also be noted that the ancient astronaut theory you have all heard about was built on this ancient Endian nuke hypothesis. You can thank Childress and Don Vaniken fooling nearly 10% of Western Youth into unironically thinking Ancient Aliens were real and influenced huwoman herstory

Anyways until literal decades later, there were people out there who literally thought that aliens nuked innocent BIBOC in the sands of India and elsewhere for no reason! And there was NOBODY to contest them!

Until you apply common sense, a little deboonking, and some actual research!

First off! an actual nuclear weapon, which produces a mushroom cloud, vaporizes the area beneath it, and then dissipates, this weapon described above is specifically said to be like a “smokeless fire.” It causes the sky to fill with clouds that rain blood, but instead of vaporizing those it hits, instead, it causes the air to boil, setting alight all around it. In an actual nuclear explosion, the blast force is the force that kills once one passes the hypocenter. And anyone who survived to describe the blast would by definition have been in the region where the blast wave overtook any flame. Outside the small area where the actual explosion occurs, the thermal radiation from a nuclear blast is intense, but brief, lasting perhaps one or two seconds. It can cause severe skin burns (but not light a person aflame). Thermal blasts can ignite highly flammable materials, though these do not include elephants or trees; nor

would it boil the rivers and seas

Regarding the lake, it was have found to have been created by a meteor thousands of years ago... also the ph thing was a myth. Lao

But you still find yourself asking? "Why, why are skeletons the most radioactive on the planet?!" Well the truth is that, they are not. But was this a genuine lie on Childress/ Don Vaniken's part? Well as it turns out, no! not at all!

The claim made by them that the skeletons were radioactive can be traced back to a book by soviet author Alexander Gorbovsky. Now you see Gorbovsky was also, being an innocent r-slur, and got the whole radioactive skeleton thing from a scientific paper made by Russian cosmologists/ herstorians.

The "whole radioactive skeleton" thing/ excerpt from the paper:

"According to recently received data from Mayneord, in the ribs of a man who lived 4000 years ago the radioactivity was approximately 50 times higher than in modern man."

But IT TURNS OUT that said scientists were also being innocent r-slurs, and it turns out that THEY got that claim from the british historian Mayneord.

And as you can tell from how things are turning out in this effortpost, Mayneord is ALSO an innocent r-slur/ victim of proto-dramanautry! Apparently he got that info from unknown sources we cant trace.

"It may be of interest that we have obtained - from the British Museum - the rib of an Egyptian who died almost 4,000 years ago. The total alpha activity is 0.34 micro-micro-c/gramme dried bone. This, the only piece of evidence we have, suggests that the natural alpha activity of human bone 4000 years ago was close to the mean value of our present-day bone specimens."

The above excerpt was taken from somewhere by an anonymous source, twisted to be 50 times the radioactivity value stated in the excerpt, and turned the Egyptian bone into that of an Indian . It was then passed on to Mayneord, who passed it to the soviet scientists, who passed it on to Gorbovsky, who passed it on to Don Vaniken, who passed it on to Childress, who passed it onto the herstory channel, and then to YOU. Bravo to this proto-dramanaut, a hero, legend, and inspiration too all. for baiting entire generations of gullbile westoids, and doing it for no recognition at all.

Author's note - I didnt know much about the skeleton thing and the anonymous troll until I did further research for this effortpost! If I did, I wouldve credited multiple proto-dramanauts in the title

We dont know why the skeletons' death seemed so sudden, as well as the walls being vitrified, but the most believed hypothesis is heat wave.

The Oppenheimer quote was completely fabricated by Childress and Don Vaniken lao. Even then, Oppenheimer was a hippie kook lets be honest

The main and only pieces of evidence left are the mahabharat quotes.

Remember how I said that Childress, Don Vaniken, and all other conspiratards got the base for the whole nuke thing from those excerpts? Well it turns out that if you check the 1.8 million words of the mahabharat, the first two excerpts don't even appear!

The first excerpt was crafted together from different texts in the book(s).

The thousand suns thing was taken from an excerpt about vishnu :

"Gratified with him, the holy one then showed Utanka that

eternal Vaishnava form which Dhananjaya of great intelligence

had seen. Utanka beheld the high-souled Vasudeva of universal

form, endued with mighty-arms. The effulgence of that form

was like that of a blazing fire or a thousand suns. It stood

before him filling all space. It had faces on every side.

Beholding that high and wonderful Vaishnava form of Vishnu,

in fact, seeing the Supreme Lord (in that guise), the Brahmana

Utanka became filled with wonder."

Down below is where the rats and pottery thing comes from:

"Day by day strong winds blew, and many were the evil omens

that arose, awful and foreboding the destruction of the Vrishnis

and the Andhakas. The streets swarmed with rats and mice.

Earthen pots showed cracks or broken from no apparent cause.

At night, the rats and mice ate away the hair and nails of

slumbering men. […] That chastiser of foes commanded the

Vrishnis to make a pilgrimage to some sacred water. The

messengers forthwith proclaimed at the command of Kecava

that the Vrishnis should make a journey to the sea-coast for

bathing in the sacred waters of the ocean."

Regarding the second excerpt, it is simply a fake translation

the true translation says:

"The very elements seemed to be perturbed. The Sun seemed to

turn round. The universe, scorched with heat, seemed to be in

a fever. The elephants and other creatures of the land, scorched

by the energy of that weapon, ran in fright, breathing heavily

and desirous of protection against that terrible force. The very

waters being heated, the creatures residing in that element, O

Bharata, became exceedingly uneasy and seemed to burn.

From all the points of the compass, cardinal and subsidiary,

from the firmament and the very Earth, showers of sharp and

fierce arrows fell and issued, with the impetuosity of Garuda or

the wind. Struck and burnt by those shafts of Açwatthāman

that were all endued with the impetuosity of the thunder, the

hostile warriors fell down like trees burnt down by a raging fire.

Huge elephants, burnt by that weapon, fell down on the Earth

all around, uttering fierce cries loud as those of the clouds.

Other huge elephants, scorched by that fire, ran hither and

thither, and roared aloud in fear, as if in the midst of a forest

conflagration. The steeds, O king, and the cars also, burnt by

the energy of that weapon, looked, O sire, like the tops of trees

burnt in a forest fire. […] Burnt by the energy of

Açwatthāman's weapon, the forms of the slain could not be

distinguished. (Ganguili Vol. 7, 678-679)"

The above excerpt describes not a bomb, but a flaming arrow machine gun-like weapon fired from the heavens.

Now this is where it gets REEL interesting. From what you have read, you would guess that Don Vaniken did the rewriting thing up on purpose. But it turns out, just like the whole soviet radioactive skeleton mentioned above earlier, this fake excerpt thing was the result of innocent r-slurs following the path set out to them by another innocent r-slur,,, or so it seems.

Anyways it turns out that Don Vaniken got the whole nuke excerpts thing from an English translation done by a mysterious "C. Roy" fellow during the 1890s. It turns out that C. Roy actually translated a german translation of an english translation of the sanskrit/ og version of the mahabharat back into english, and then rearranged paragraphs like the above, apparently in error

Now, you ask, why i say "apparently?" Surely Mr Roy couldnt have known about nukes in the 1890s, and then decide to devote effort to making it seem like ancient nuclear warfare occured in his life's work to troll gullible westerners?

Its because this Don Vanikens work was not the first time someone has been fooled into thinking a massive man made explosion occured in the Mahabharat. After his translation was published, it turns out that many western conspirtards were fooled into thinking not a nuke was detonated there, but a rather massive gunpowder explosion.

We don't know if C Roy did this on purpose, or if he was just being an innocent r-slur.

But we do know for certain that this proto-dramanaut managed to help fool millions of goyim half a world away that aliens really nuked ancient Indian cities for the lulz, and convince a tenth of Western young adults that Ancient Aliens changed their ancestors diapers or summ

Also shout out to that anonymous dramanaut for the radioactive skeleton stuff. This most likely wouldn't have happened if not for you!

The moral of the story is that conspiratards are dumb and the guberment should shoot them on sight. Updoot this post if you agree!

Earlier today I had the misfortune of interacting with @Sasanka_of_Gauda, known hindoo. This led me down the rabbit hole of reading articles about their barbaric, looless "religion". You can always find something silly and make yourself feel better as they are by far the filthiest and most ignorant of all 70 nations G-d created, after negroes. Let's dive in :)

Who the Frick is Ram?

Millions of curry munching coolies bow down to this argyric fellow - their chief god - daily.

Does the Ineffable, Timeless, Transcendent Creator of the Entire Universe have something as lowly as a place of birth? "Of course saar, this is most needful", respond the Indians, heads wagging excitedly.

This locale, they claim, is the Ram Janmabhoomi, which Wikipedia avers occurred at:

The legendary city of Ayodhya ... known as the birthplace of the Hindu deity Rama of Kosala and is the setting of the great epic Ramayana and its many versions. This belief is the main reason for Ayodhya being venerated as an extremely holy city for Hindus.[10]

It still exists

But wait

Though there are about 900 pieces of proof that today's Ayodhya is not the birthplace of their favorite fictional character, and that this legend arose as late as the 13th century, the truth has never been a barrier to any sexy Indian dude enterprise or enterprising sexy Indian dude, who have been known to throw up temples to, inter alia:

• Maps

• Rats

• Planes

• U.S. Visas

• A motorcycle

So what's stopping them?

The Babri Masjid

Babur Shah¹ was a petty king in Transoxiana, numbering among the descendants of Timur, himself one of the greatest genociders this world has ever seen.

He fought up and down Central Asia before conquering India from the rajpoots and other smelly, weak rulers.

His main legacy in the incontinent subcontinent is the founding of the Mughal dynasty, which would cuck India for centuries til the British came, destroying thousands of temples and enslaving millions of idolaters (to the eternal cope of their 10,000,00,000,00 descendants)

However, he is also known for this little building: the Babri Masjid².

Unfortunately, it seems the illustrious pedigree sketched immediately above is fake. In fact, the building was erected sometime in the late 1600s by a Mughal vassal who loved to lay waste to and repurpose pagan places, as it is not mentioned in travelogues until that time, only afterwards. Some decades later, a plaque was added affirming Babur's construction of the structure, most likely to give it a historical pedigree and lend authority to local claims.

Nevertheless, pious sexy Indian dudes continued to worship at or near the site as they had for a few hundred years.

During the British guardianship the site was split into two.

In 1948 the tender-hearted bongs returned - weary, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread - to their vaunted northern halls, leaving countless kaffirs scrambling and pooping in their wake.

The restless natives wasted no time in installing idols of Rama and Shita at the contested location.³

¹ translator's note: "Shah" means chad

² The refined observer will note that, like all erections of the brown peoples, its shape is suggestive of bob

³ Shita (or Sita), Rama's concubine, is famous for being the first Indian woman forced to immolate herself by a jealous jeet. She will not be the last 😔

January December 6th

12/6/92. A date that will live in infamy.

Since the departure of the British and the days of Gandhi - and indeed multiple bearers of that illustrious surname ruled since his sad assassination - India had been governed by a secular, progressive, and functional administration. Wisely, they had avoided giving in to the demands of either group of extremists, simply locking up the gates to the complex.

This was all about to change.

At the instigation of intestinally challenged members of the BJP - today a governing regime, at that time nothing more than a rabble of small town local demagogues and sexual deviants - 150,000 future Canadians gathered at the site of the Babri masjid to demonstrate the superiority of their made up legends to those of the other browns.

They swarmed over the suggestive slopes of the masjid, pickaxes and orange flags in hand. Some^[who?] hypothesise these orange banners to have originated in abandoned commie paraphernalia discovered by pious but ignorant brahmanists and subsequently dyed in cow urine as a purificatory rite... but more on that later.

Riots immediately broke out, leaving thousands dead, both towel and dot heads.

An investigation began immediately, but the levers of state move slow in the warmer climates, and by the time a court case began, some three decades after the events in question, bhakts (Hindoo extremists) had taken control of the courts...

They started building a temple on the ruins of the mosque, an action that, despite their position of power, was still illegal by all accounts.

Ram Mandir

Today the Supreme Court of India ruled that not only was the demolition okay, but the new temple was "needful" and "totally legit sirs". An artist's depiction of Justice Chandrachud's ruling:

Narendra Modi, streetshitter-in-chief inaugurated the new, extremely expensive, structure with brahmanic rites and a lot of nonsense, to the exultation of millions of people who can not afford clean water. One would incline to pity, but I say: They've dug their latrine - let them lay in it.

They did the ceremonies wrong, according to Poopanand Swami

Some priests and religious leaders, such as Swaroopanand Saraswati, complained that 5 August was not a ritually auspicious date. They also complained that the ceremony did not follow proper ritual procedures. They also claimed that the function did not include a havan.[123][124] In this regard, the writer and activist Arundhati Roy, a noted critic of PM Modi, pointed out that the chosen date marked one year since the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.[125][43] Pakistan made an official statement through its foreign office criticising India for commencing construction of the temple, due to the history of the site.[126] On the contrary, various Indian political leaders praised the groundbreaking ceremony.[127]

Stole hundreds of millions real currency (approximately infinite lakh rupees):

In 2015, the Hindu Mahasabha, among the leading organisation involved in the Ram Mandir issue, alleged the BJP-affiliate Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) of carrying out donation scam of over ₹1,400 crore (US$180 million) over the construction of the temple. The VHP denied this allegation.[19]. In 2019, the national spokesperson of the Nirmohi Akhara, Mahant Sitaram Das, accused the VHP of carrying out a ₹1,400 crore (US$180 million) scam over the temple.[18] The former Chief Ministers of Karnataka, H. D. Kumaraswamy and Siddaramaiah, now the current Chief Minister of the state, strongly questioned the methods of fund collection.[112][113] After failing to raise the desired amount, the headmistress of a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh school experienced bullying, and was subsequently suspended.[114][115]

The new temple is called Ram Mandir and features many wonders - including not just one but TWO idols of baby Jesus Ram

In January 2023, two 60 million-year-old Shaligram rocks, 26 tonnes and 14 tonnes respectively, were sent from the Gandaki river in Nepal. These rocks were used to carve the idol of Ram Lalla in the sanctum sanctorum.[103]

Ammonites and Antiseptic

What's a Shaligram, you ask?

Turns out these ignorant motherlovers worship fossils

How the heck is it 26 tonnes though?

Apparently, the designation extends to anything vaguely round

The Pranatoshani Tantra[9] states that:

• The merit gained by worshipping Vishnu in a Shalagrama shila once is equivalent to that of conducting a thousand Rajasuya yajnas and donating the entire earth.

• All sorts of sins whether perceived in mind or committed in deeds for an entire year are destroyed by donating a Shalagrama shila to a brahmin.

• The person who worships together 12 Shalagrama shilas for a single day earns the merit equivalent of worshipping 12 crore Shivalingas with lotuses made out of gold and residing in Varanasi for eight days.

• The person who worships together 100 Shalagrama shilas attains Maharloka after death and is reborn as an emperor.

In all fairness, Christcucks had shit like this. Worship one fingernail of the Hail Mary and all your sins will be forgiven. Donate your fields to the Pope and he'll bless you with 1,000,000 purgatories. However, that was hundreds of years ago, before the reformation, when the average European carted dung and corpses. No sane human being believes in such nonsense today.

Most of India is still within the grips of an odious and r-slurred ideology - casteism - decades after Dr. Ambedkar abolished it. What happens if, heaven forfend, a poojeet of the wrong caste touches one of these magical fossils?

The Pranatoshani Tantra[9] states that nobody except initiated brahmins are allowed to touch a Shalagrama shila. On being touched by somebody other than an initiated brahmin, the Shalagrama shila must be cleansed with panchagavya. However all persons are allowed to be the yajamana for the worship of a Shalagrama shila.

Poncho agave. Sounds sterile, wholesome and nourishing. A true cleansing potion produced by skilled ayurvedic practitioners, no doubt

Conclusion

Yesterday I posted a photo of the aftermath of Aloha Airlines Flight 243, and it occured to me that most of you cursed zoomie whippersnappers probably had no idea of this highly dramatic tale of near death, actual death, and chad pilots. So without further ado, sit back and let tell you a tale of the friendly skies...

The Setting:

Hilo International Airport, April 28th, 1988. At around 1:25 PM a Boeing 737-297 departed for a quick jaunt to Honolulu, Oahu. Weather was good, visibility was solid, pre-flight inspection was passed, and the 35 minute flight from Hilo to Honolulu was routine. Essentially, everything was set-up for Aloha 243 to have a paint-by-numbers flight, with none of red flags you might expect from a disaster in the making. Even the flight crew was normal, being uniformly experienced, sober, and professional. If I asked you at this point to speculate what would or could go wrong, you'd be hard pressed to guess right.

The only sign of impending disaster would appear in retrospect—when passenger Gayle Yamamoto testified she noticed a crack in the fuselage upon boarding but...didn't tell anyone.

Dramatis Persona:

Crew:

Captain Robert Schornstheimer had over 8,500 flight hours, and first office Mimi Tompkins had 8,000 as well. Both were particularly experienced with 737s—a fact that would prove vital. Other support crew, such as flight attendants, were also old hands. Chief Stewardess Clarabelle Lansing, for example, was flying with 37 years of experience. Stewardesses Michelle Honda and Jane Sato Tamita had 14 and 17 years experience respectively. In total, there were 5 very capable crew on boards.

Due to the quick nature of the route, this would their ninth flight of the day.

Passengers:

There were 90 total passengers traveling. Aloha Airlines specialized in short, frequent flights between the islands, and passengers would have been a mix of local commuters and tourists. Regular people, many of whom had likely taken this exact route many times.

Shit Gets Real

After a routine take-off, Aloha 243 began climbing to the cruising altitude of 24,000 feet. First Office Tompkins was at the controls with Captain Schornstheimer working the radio, and again, all seemed routine. Because the the short nature of the flight, the stewardesses didn't wait to reach cruising to begin drink services. Instead they began walking around the cabin, handing out refreshments, while passengers remained strapped in their seats. This would place them in a unique disadvantage when a crack was heard 20 minutes into the flight, just as cruising altitude was reached.

And by crack, I mean an ear-splitting, terror inducing rip as a 35 square-foot portion of the plane's fuselage violently ripped away. In other words, one second the plane was intact. The next, an entire section of the front passenger cabin roof just...wasn't there anymore.

The most immediate effect was tragically predictable: Objects were sucked out of the plane, followed by human beings. Chief Stewardess Lansing, who has the misfortunate to be working the front section of the plane, was immediately sucked out to her death. Her body was never recovered.

RIP

Stewardess Sato Tamita was also working the front, but was struck downwards by debris. She thus miraculously avoided Lansing's fate, managing to crawl her way towards the back of the plane before going mostly unconscious from injury—a passenger would go on to hold her hand for the duration of the flight. The final unbuckled person on board, Stewardess Honda, was in row 15. While she was also injured by debris, her distance from the front allowed her survival and continued action.

Meanwhile, Pilots Tompkins and Schornstheimer put on their oxygen masks, and looking backwards from their seats at the controls could see...blue skies. So could passengers in the first five rows of the plane, who were now flying completely exposed to the air on both sides, with only aged seatbelts keeping them from meeting Lansing's fate over the Pacific. Aisle passengers in these front rows reported clinging to seat-mates in window seats to keep them from falling to their deaths. Besides being exposed to the air, passengers had also been seriously injured by debris, and were being subjected to intense -50F temperatures and 300 mph winds. And oh yeah, the tubing that fed oxygen into the passenger masks had been ripped out, so people were starting to pass out from lack of air. It was not an ideal situation.

Getting Control of the Plane

With passengers at risk of hypoxia, freezing, or just flat out falling to their deaths, the pilots somehow needed to make an immediate emergency landing with a partial roof, and without knowledge of what systems might have been damaged.

The more experienced Schornstheimer took control from Tompkins, with his first order of business to lower the altitude before lack of oxygen started killing his passengers off. Unable to waste time, he dropped altitude fast, scaring the crap out of everyone on board, but saving lives in the process. It did not help the sense of terror that passengers could see the floor begin the buckle, as the pilot's section of the craft—again, connected only by the flooring—started bending away the rest of the craft.

With the pilot's section bending away, and a terrifying descent ensuing, the remaining passengers and crew draw the conclusion the pilots were likely dead. Instead of securing herself in a seat, Stewardess Honda crawled her way through the plane, trying to locate a replacement pilot among the men and women on board. She was unsuccessful, but gets serious chadette points for keeping her head enough to try and find help despite her injury and the dire circumstances—as well as for getting many passengers into the brace positions and flotation vests.

Meanwhile, the pilots were trying communicate with air traffic control and organize an emergency landing. I say trying, because Honolulu wasn't answering.

Thankfully, Kahului Airpot was.

Emergency Landing

Kahului Airport is on the island of Maui. It had the advantage of being close—just five minutes away—and of air control picking up. But is also had the disadvantage of needing to fly between two mountains to land at, aided by controls that might or or might not be working. The landing also required subjecting a plane to already on the verge of falling apart to stressful turns. Fun!

Kahului was also less equipped for a mass emergency, but ATC staff never-the-less immediately acted like professionals. They cleared the runway, contacted any emergency services they could find, and tried to keep in contact. Again, tried being the operative word, because after alerting Kahului to their predicament, radio contact came and went unreliably.

The pilot pushed the remains of the plane to its max, making the necessary turns to land while controls failed. Terrifyingly, one of the indicated failures was of the nose gear, meaning that the plane might be landing without front wheels—which, if true, would almost certainly cause the fragile craft to break apart upon landing and trigger an explosion. But lacking any choice, Schornstheimer decided to attempt a landing anyway and just hope the indicator was wrong.

Miraculously, his gamble paid off—the indicator was wrong. The front wheels descended, and Schornstheimer somehow managed to land the plane, keep the plane intact, and not eject any passengers in the process. How the frick this is possible is known only to

As a direct result of Schornstheimer incredible flying and Thompson's excellent support, Aloha 243 landed with some seriously injured passengers, but no casualties beyond Chief Stewardess Lansing.

Seriously, seriously behavior on behalf of the crew to make that incredible outcome remotely possible.

Why TF Did This Happened

Fatigue.

At the time of the accident, Aloha 243 had flown 89,000 total flights—only one other 737 in the world had flown more. The multiple short flights the plane was subjected to in a day meant that while it hadn't necessarily spent more time in the air that other craft, it had certainly endured more pressure stress from frequent take-off and landings. Plus, operating in Hawaii meant there was constant exposure to corrosive sea air. Add to that the fact the plane had only been designed to handle 75,000 flights—meaning it was 14,000 flights over its expected total lifespan—and it becomes a less a question of 'how did this happen' and more 'how did this not happen sooner?'

Who was responsible for failing to catch this fatigue—whether Aloha Airlines, spotty FAA rules, or Boeing—would become a matter of finger pointing. But ultimately, the important thing is that it triggered reforms in maintenance standards and how planes are monitored for aging, making flying safer for us all. This is one of those accidents that changed regulations for the better and you've likely benefited from, even if you've never heard of it before.

And that, dramatards, is the dramatic tale of Aloha Flight 243. Fly safe!

Hullo hullo my precious peeps, sending y'all much love and thanks for your eager participation in yet another annual Drammy award vote! It's hard to believe this is already the third year now that we've done this, right? While 2023 may already be a distant memory for many of you by now (yes I know this post has gone up super late shut up I've been busy and nobody else wanted to volunteer), come walk with me one last time as we celebrate the most dramatic events of the year, both in-house and across the web!

Best Dramatic Happening - The Reddit Jannypocalypse (169 votes)

On one fateful day sometime in 2023, /u/spez AKA Steve Huffman, the CEO and chief chadmin of Reddit Inc. suddenly shot awake from a wonderful dream where he was bussy blasting the cute new twink intern. He had just had a galaxy-brained epiphany - his company was planning to IPO soon, and nobody is going to want to invest in his shitty forum aggregate site that makes no money and has a reputation far and wide for having really fricking annoying janitors that love making the user experience miserable for everyone. Heck, they've even made special dedicated bots and scripts to autoban and mass ban users if they posted in a rival subreddit 6 years ago, and gone as far as develop unlicensed third party mobile apps because the official Reddit app doesn't let them mod abuse hard enough. Well Steve finally had enough of being pushed around by this fierce cabal of jannies, and decided to finally put his foot down.

It began with an announcement - on June 1st, Reddit announced that Reddit was pulling API support for freeloading third party mobile apps as well as janny apps such as PushShift, unless they fork over enough cash to make it worth Reddit's while. The jannies predictably reacted as they always do whenever they get well-deserved pushback from the higher ups - threatening to strike from their unpaid volunteer roles, because they're just that important and valuable to the site, y'all. (as always, we snuck into their secret protest planning Groomercord and leaked everything teehee )

Reddit communities to ‘go dark' in protest over third-party app charges

Major Reddit communities will go dark to protest threat to third-party apps

Reddit blackout: Subreddits to go private on Monday

Now to be fair to the janitors, this tactic of throwing a tantrum and attempting to disrupt site operations has actually worked for them in the past for some r-slurred reason, the most prominent example coming to mind being the /r/NoNewNormal stuff. But this time was different. The patience of the admins had finally worn thin, and they threatened to send in the Pinkertons to break some mops and bust up this janny union once and for all. And the reaction of the jannies was amazing to watch.

Some prominent rdrama threads:

AT LAST, JANNYCIDE IS UPON US!

Janniecord is taking the janniecide well

GIGAJANNIES PUBLICLY DECLARE OPEN SEASON ON PROTESTERS

Reddit admins drop a bomb on powerjannies: “ If you believe that your community or another community is being subject to decisions made by a sole moderator without buy-in from the broader mod team, you can let us know via the Moderator Code of Conduct form above.”

This resulted in most sub jannies negotiating their way down to a pointless ineffective "48 hour temporary shutdown" which achieved absolutely nothing, because the thought of actually turning in their mod powers and walking away from their $0.00 salary role cleaning up the site was too much to bear for them. Even so, this war was not without its casualties.

Infamous mod abusing AHS powerjanny and close friend of Bardfinn, u/AwkwardTheTurtle, has his account permanently suspended and he has an opioid-induced meltdown over it, spam pinging admins and DEMANDING ANSWERS. He never did get a response.

Another well-known powermod u/Karmanacht AKA u/N8TheGr8 has his mop broken. He would later also be permanently suspended.

A mod that spent over $5000 on Reddit NFTs gets gigajannied. No refunds!

Amidst all the chaos, some of our sleeper agents here in the rdrama admin team were able to get in contact with some journ*lists, posing as members of the janny protest. While some contacts like Reuters and WSJ didn't include our quotes of choice in their articles (lame), some publications took the bait.

"For a lot of us, moderating Reddit is a good chunk of our lives," user HeyMoon, who requested to use their pseudonym, told Context. "I have moderated r/politics around five hours, most days of the week (since 2016), providing real, monetary value to Reddit. The least they can do is respect what we want ... We aren't the kings, we're the darn janitors of this website." (context.news)

They said they wanted Reddit admins to realise that they rely on moderators to operate the site and felt that the only way to send a message was by harming Reddit's traffic. "This is a completely volunteer position, we don't receive any financial compensation, and despite that, we do like to take it quite seriously." (BBC News)

To be honest though, I'm upset they didn't include my "Million Mod March" speech.

With Reddit now expecting to finally IPO in 2024, will there be more janny/admin drama waiting for us in the wings this year? You'll just have to stay tuned.

Dramatard of the Year - @kaamrev (173 votes)

Battling off fierce competition from a podcaster, a white woman and a zoophile (three separate candidates for clarity), long-time South African dramatard and pillar of the community @kaamrev takes home this year's crown as your chosen dramatard of the year! Known for his many effortposts on SA drama as well as a variety of other topics, it only makes sense why you morons accidentally nominated him 5 separate times in the nominations thread and I had to manually count up all the separate upmarseys on each comment to figure out the final tally.

But that aside, congratulations @kaamrev, and we appreciate that you've stuck with us all this time!

A catalogued archive of kaamrev's many valued effortposts can be found here!

Best rDrama Post - I didn't realize Stable Diffusion has a folder where it saves all outputs you generate (149 votes)

Awarded: @Adolin113355

This one was a blowout. I don't think I have to give any further explanation on this one - if somehow you haven't seen this post yet, go read it now. Don't forget the follow-ups in the comments either.

Despite posting one of the biggest Ls this site has lived to see so far, at least @Adolin113355 gets the consolation prize of a shiny badge on his profile and the knowledge that his unfortunate experience brightened the days and remained in the memories of many a dramatard, to the point where his personal lamentation was voted the best post of 2023. Congrats!

Best rDrama Bait - Nashville Manifesto Mayhem (134 votes)

Awarded: @tina, @DWHITE___________DYNAMITE, @CarpathianGroypist

As what seems to be a recurring annual theme now, rdrama's best bait of 2023 again revolved around meddling in the aftermath of a tragic spree killing. You naughty fellows.

This tomfoolery was technically two separately planned bait ops, but since they were very similar in nature, piggybacked off the same event and both had very effective results, it was decided that they be rolled into the one nomination candidate.

Hot on the heels of it being revealed that the Nashville school shooter identified as trans, @tina of Cinch News puts out a well-timed article as a reminder to chuds that someone being a bad person does not grant you permission to misgender them or invalidate their identity.

@CarpathianGroypist took to Twitter to signal boost this spicy piece of ragebait, which was enough to hook over 400 retweets and 4500 likes from gullible rightoids. Not only that, but bigger online figures such as Ian Miles Cheong and Tim Pool's editor in chief gladly swallowed up the bait. Eventually, it grew viral enough to catch the ire of deboonkers such as Snopes and USA Today, a badge of honor shared by previous viral drama ops such as the Libs of Tiktok Furry Hoax and /r/TXBountyHunters.

In the meantime, @DWHITE___________DYNAMITE was hard at work mocking up a fake manifesto that reveals that the hate site rdrama.net was the culprit behind their radicalization!

It was spread around on /pol/ for a bit, before @CarpathianGroypist again managed to get the attention of, and successfully bait Ian Miles Cheong a second time within a couple of days, despite the bait being so obvious that it includes the entire /r/drama "let me tell you this" copypasta

Some other notable threads:

the /ftm/s on 4chan have taken the bait manifesto

Beware: Fake images of the Tennessee shooter manifestos (like these) are circulating all over the internet to malign trans people

Eventually the Washington Post wrote an entire article about the hoax, although opting to blame the hacker 4chan for the ruse instead of giving proper credit. As recently as 3 months ago, they were still referencing it in articles.

This collaborative two-pronged effort was the dramatard's choice for ruse of the year. Well played and well baited to everyone involved!

Best rDrama Activist - Reddit HQ Pilgrimage (186 votes)

Awarded: @Modern_Major_Jefferal, @Dramarama, @Homoshrexual

The first winner of this new award had little competition to fend off, and it's no surprise - @Modern_Major_Jefferal leaving a huge Marsey poster designed by @Dramarama by Reddit's leaf HQ was considered to be a very popular maneouver, earning the additional title of the most upmarseyd post of 2023.

While the poster was gone three days later as discovered by @Homoshrexual - and its ultimate fate unknown - @Modern_Major_Jefferal has promised to make the journey to Reddit's real headquarters in San Francisco and leave a souvenir if he wins. This contract is now officially binding, and you'll be banned forever if you don't deliver by December 31st 2024. Congrats!

Best rDrama OC - Marsey Cursor Follower (137 votes)

Awarded: @KatserKitty1987

Absolutely thrashing all the more conventional candidates, @KatserKitty1987's adorable marsey cursor follower was by far the most popular rdrama OC of the year, and was integrated as a feature of the site itself! Enjoy your coveted shiny Drammy badge and $20,000 mbux for your efforts

Marsey of the Year (105 votes)

Awarded: @Dramarama

Long-time beloved marsey artist @Dramarama earns a second Drammy this year (and third overall!) for her marsified rendition of the popular emote, for when you just know some dramafriend is completely talking out their bussies. Well done, and thanks for all your contributions over the years!

Lolcow of the Year (rDrama) - @TED_SIMP (146 votes)

Goddarn, there were a lot of potential candidates for this very special award this time round. There can only be one winner however, and the scandalous real-life dramatard sexual affairs (plural!) involving bird girl @TED_SIMP really broke new ground in terms of how r-slurred some of y'all can get.

I admittedly didn't follow this metadrama all that closely at the time due to extended grass touching, but these posts seem to very comprehensively sum things up, including a live interview with the coomer moids involved!

NEW SIRPINGSALOT DM DROPS CONFIRMING LOVE TRAINGLE BETWEEN HIM, R-slur and Ted_Simp WITH R*PE ALLEGATIONS, FULL SIRPINGSALOT INTERVIEW IN VIDEO

UnaBRIDGEd and UnredacTED, Unraveling the Tale of Ted_Simp: Chronicles of Deceit

What's going on with TED_SIMP?

hi, I'm Ted. AMA!

Goddarn, look at that ratio though.

Lolcow of the Year (off-site) - Jinxthinker (107 votes)

In a stunning blow to the nonces of pedorama, our homegrown avant-garde artist and animator, crusader against anime and popular streamer Jinxthinker officially makes his mark as a Drammy award winner! It was debatable as to whether Jinx counted as either an rdrama or off-site lolcow considering he used to frequently post here, but in the end I opted for the criteria that rDrama lolcow nominees must have posted to rdrama itself at least once within the year of their nomination.

Here's a brief showcase of his greatest Jinxkino of the year, particularly showing off his mentally ill anti-asian obsession with our very own @X.

THE X (FORMERLY CHIOBU) CARTOON DROPPED

Taylor Swift is Dying of Cancer. Only X (formerly chiobu) can Grant her Dying Wish

X (formerly chiobu) revealed to be trans

X (formerly chiobu) visits Japan

Carp finally joins the Jinxverse! X (formerly chiobu) gets gender affirming surgery

Janitor of the Year - @NewMoon (133 votes)

A shocking twist! Despite Carp leading the polls for almost the entire voting period, NewMoon makes a comeback in the eleventh hour and scrapes the win by a measly 4 votes! I checked by the way, those were real votes and not from sock accounts - a sneaky pinned campaign post in the final few hours are what made all the difference. Given that NewMoon was also your 2022 Dramatard of the Year though, it's no surprise that he would be one of the less despised mop wielders 'round these parts. Congrats!

And that's all, folks - until next year, if we're still around!

Awhile back I made an effortpost about the Caste Football forums. The TLDR of that is it's a forum where boomers cry "white genocide! " whenever white boy get's cut from the sports team. In particular this one knuckle dragger really stood out; white lightning. I thought it would be fun to go back and check out his flat earth thread so that me and the !nonchuds can have a giggle.

The truth about Satelites. NASA is the biggest purchaser of helium in the world for decades. That is for the satteloons. The whole space as we've been told is a lie. As it says in the Bible, everything that is secret shall be revealed.

Luke 8:17

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

>The owner has disabled discussion of this video.

lmao

I was actually wondering how did flat earth make a comback and this guy cleared it up for me; it's christcuckery, because of course it is.

I don't get it? Why the 10,000 year conspiracy to hide that the Earth is really flat? That's a lot of work millions of people have engaged in to keep the lie secret.

I love how you ignore the evidence where our government and NASA among countless others have a flat non rotating earth in their documents. All the aeronautical engineering firms, sattelite compaines, etc. Why is that flint? Yet they push the opposite truth. I will tell you why. It's to disprove God. They hate God and Jesus. The theory of evolution and the big bang are equally stupid and easily debunked. Why don't you ever address the videos and the documented evidence? It's an open shut case. I've seen the NASA documents. Pause the film over and over and then research it. They admit it. You keep believing your pipe dream.

It's not only to disprove that God made the earth. It's because they make billions & trillions of dollars since the 1960's in funding. They would be stupid to end that with the truth. If the truth comes out, how do tax payers get their money back? We don't. It's a magic act on a dumbed down population that will believe anything. Covid was an IQ test. Sit down and take off your mask, You won't catch it now.

So we're back to "The Earth is Flat," again.

Yeah because they have never lied about anything. Your right. Let me take the blue pill and stay asleep. It's because people believe everything they are taught that we are in this mess. How do you rule people. Teach them partial truths mixed with lies. A dumbed down nation is so easy to rule. One reason whites are attacked so much. Because some of us are INDEPENDENT THINKERS. Go ahead & believe we played golf on the moon. Watch out for that global warming. Sure to hit you right in the wallet but it's true right?

Have any of you ever flown in a hot air ballon. You can sit in one spot for a very long time and guess what the earth doesn't move.

How about an ultralight. No computer navigation but not needed to take off and land on a non moving stationary earth. Think people?

If I drive or fly somewhere it takes the same amount of time if there isn't bad weather or traffic. North, South, East, West it doesn't move!

I'm reading a great book. It's called “Moonshot” the inside story of America's race to the moon. It features a lot of information and details on the many White geniuses and brave heroes that made the greatest achievement in human history possible. Very inspiring. There is also a lot on the Russians who had many of their own hero's and men of great intelligence. Incredible to realize that we are members of a people so talented as to be to able to achieve such great things! Think of the many thousands of people that dedicated their lives to making it happen. Some gave their lives for it.

Some in Russia says we never went to the moon. Only Hollywood did. They made a documentary several years ago.

>russians are so butthurt at losing the space race their claiming the moon landing was fake

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

I can see why older generation clings to the greatness of White America 1.0. The moon landing was programmed as being the biggest thing, well, ever. We were lied to about Pearl Harbor, Vietnam , MLK and All the Kennedy deaths. 9/11, weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.. Covid. Idk maybe that's why I'm skeptical of every single thing the government says as fact! I've questioned before why we haven't been back. Answer I got is because we have more diversity now… I can see that, or we've never been able to go in 1st place. Whites on our side have more important things to do than bicker about flat earth and moon landings though.

Good post. I have no idea why this topic was brought up yet again when it's repeatedly proven to be divisive. It's a debate better suited for other venues than a sports site.

The admin steps in to give his opinion on the subject.

Goodness, all this r-sluration and it's only page 1.

It's funny but last time I checked myself, Don, Bucky and many others are not of african ancestry. Yes blacks hate almost anything white but that has nothing to do with this. Go to a flat earth conferentce and you won't see many blacks there. Again it's more about the awakening of humanity. It should not hurt anyone feelings here as no one has diserespected you or anyone else. It's just a hypothesis and you guys have yours. That's it.

Exactly. And it's not just the moon landing, the denial of nearly all significant science as it pertains to the universe we live in is right out of the Afro-centrists playbook. “All that math jive that white people be talking is nothing but white privilege lies. The world be one big flat chunk of dirt floating in space.” All the great minds of history, like Newton, Galelio, Copernicus, just scam artists supporting the lies of the luminati or the Jews or Satan or something. Geez!

>notice how you never see BIPOCs at a flat earth conference? it's because they hate science

i've never given any credence to the flat earth notion, but i also have zero trust in the government. i put no lie beyond the realm of possibilities if/when it portrays them as the good guys. as such, here is a video i found very convincing. make of it what you will.

>Comments are turned off. Learn more

Noticing a trend here.

The Antartic Treaty was signed around the same time NASA started out. How convinient. Operation Fishbowl when they tried to blow missles through the firmament. It cannot be done. God is always in control and God Wins in the End!

Do you ever watch the Simpsons? I'm sure you have with it being on tv for over 3 decades. Do you ever wonder how they can predict so many things from the past, present and especially future. look who directs the show and who he belongs to. These people lead by thinking decades ahead. How did they know Donald Trump would be president? How did they know about the worldwide fake virus on a cruise ship? There are countless examples. I could type a book of all their correct predictions. They had an episode of a baseball game in the astrodome I believe it was. The batter hit a sky high pop up that hit the roof of the astrodome. It cracked, broke and the oceans flooded into the stadium. It wasn't rain but the oceans above the firmament. The illuminated ones know and they mock us. They show you in tv shows, movies, music, video games, etc. etc. but most people just can't figure it out. The Bible is the TRUTH!

We live on a circular plane surrounded by the ice walls that hold in the water which is 70 percent of the earth approx. There is land beyond the ice walls but no average person can go there. That is only for the chosen elite.

AirPLANE. What is a PLANE. A flat surface. Sea LEVEL. Level is flat. Water always goes to a level no matter the shape of what's holding it. I could spend countless hours going over so many things. It's so easily provable. Recently a person with a special camera you can buy for about 600 dollars took video of an island 700 miles away. It's not possible on a curved ball but it is on a flat earth. Hope this helps you. It's the Antartic Circle. Not Antartica. They changes everything. Look at old aeronautical maps. The truth is out there for those who seek it.

Motherlover is using the Simpsons as proof of a government Satanic cover up AHAHAHA

I'm all for biblical inerrancy but this is one hill I don't thing is worth defending, personally. The arguments against evolution seem vastly more credible in my opinion. Still appreciate the cordial dialogue though. Think you guys do a nice job with the site

Don't beLIEve the science. Why the sky is really Blue in color on a clear day.

There are oceans above the firmament and below the firmament. Your looking at water when it's sunny and no clouds. Look at a telescope. The stars look like they are inside of water. I'm not kidding. Too many pics and videos that show this. There is no space as we have been told.

When the earth flooded and it's been recorded everywhere on every continent, not just in the Bible. God not only had it rain but he also opened the Gates of Heaven. Gates in the Firmament which only he can open or close. After 40 days God not only stopped the rain but also closed the gates which stopped the Ocean above from flooded the oceans below.

Heaven is above the oceans above the firmament. Heck is in the middle of the earth. The PIts of Heck.

What the frick is this guy trying to say? That space is actually an ocean?

People who come to this site will discover that those who support White athletes think the Earth is flat.

This isn't true. There are a few people here but the majority believe what they have been told in school. No need to worry. This is just for people that are independent thinkers. Science is and was supposed to always be about questioning everything.

Goddarn this guy's r-slurred lmao

The so-called "average sports fan" is more open to the anti-White bias argument that they used to be. Asinine arguments like The Earth is Flat is not outside the box, but for kooks.

Some posters have little class or integrity. Only certain posters take this as a personal attack and then they discredit and make ignorant uneducated remarks and insults about people far more intelligent than they can ever even imagine. Have respect for others. You've been warned.

Where has the respect been for me? A person who has CONTRIBUTED $ to this site. And I'm sorry but if you're trying to argue that the earth is flat that is a FOOLS argument.

The admin steps in and calls this guy thin-skined lol

Bro take a pair of binoculars out to the beach, if you watch a ship the bottom disappears and the top or mast is the last part visible, sailors have know this since the dawn of time and telescopes verify this. Have you ever tried it? I think you are just regurgitating the flat earth propaganda you have read and watched. Get off YouTube it will rot your mind.

Yes I've done this. I have binoculars, digital cameras, and a telescope.. I know what I see. Sorry but the lies are not working anymore. Like the movie the Matrix, once you take the red pill you never go back to the blue pill or illusions of the false, fake life we've been told. The truth is like a snow ball or wave that keeps growing until it's a tidal wave. Too many people are waking up to the decades & decades of lies from every direction. Millions of people are in the Flat Earth Society. People with bachelors degrees, phds, doctorates, masters, etc. etc . Everyone from every profession and many of them are rich . The TRUTH will COME OUT. It cannot be stopped. Too many people know now!

Rightoid boomers have this weird mindset that they're in a movie, never quite understood that.

Let's think in a way for some people that have trouble understanding. We are told the world is constantly spinning at thousands of miles per hour. Hint it's a satanic number they claim. Lol. Why we we stand still or sit do we not move?

Why can you fly a hot air balloon and have no instruments yet hover in the same spot with no fancy computer equipment? Why can you fly and land an ultralight on a spinning earth would be impossible. No gauges or anything fancy. It's so comical. People just don't think anymore. They just repeat what the lies they have been told.

With average traffic why is it the same time to drive north to south or south to north. East to West and then back again? Not possible on a spinning earth. Even flights on airlines would be so much faster if you traveled in the direction of the spin? Lmao. I will stop. People need to unlearn the lies they have been told.

He's a fanatic of sorts on the subject, ranting about it almost every day.

Hahaha. Sounds to me like your triggered? Don't worry about this because you and Flint swear it's not true. You know your over the target when so many people get their feelings hurt for something that has nothing to do with their lives. Oh maybe it's because their fragile minds can't handle anyone that doesn't just say what the govt, science or nasa say. NASA by the way from their rockets to all of their symbols are all satanic. Apollo is named after Apolloyon the Destroyer. It's a Cult of Satanic and Luciferian Worship. I will have no part of their lies. The serpent of NASA.

>You triggered bro? Dude you're so triggered!

You haven't hurt my feelings but I do think it reflects poorly on the site to have such hogwash posted. Especially without pushback or it looks like the site is ok with it. Where did you get that rubbish about Apolloyon the destroyer? Wouldn't it be more logical to assume it's from Apollo, the Greek god of the sun? Was the Mercury program named after Mercurial the evil Silver Slime God, Gemini after Gemi the Nasty One. It must be fun to make up sh*t as you go along.

He got so bussyhurt at this he posted 8 different blog posts in a row about how NASA is controlled by Satanic Freemasson Nazis AHAHAHAHA

>not triggered btw

Space is an ocean of water above and we have the oceans below. The stars float in the water and the planets are just bigger stars. There is no space other than what's made in a hollywood basement. Even William Shatner admited this at a Star Trek Conference to fans. He said there is no difference between science and science fiction.

PS 148:4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

Ah, that clears up my earlier question.

That's the 2nd time you've posted that video. You must not have looked at it very carefully. It talks about different equations that would only apply to a flat non rotating earth and that's why they are wrong.

Look, why would evil satanic NASA spill the beans on themselves? You've already maintained that the flat earth truth is hidden by an overarching conspiracy of scientists that have been working for over a 1000 years to maintain this secret. And then they blow it with some simple documents.

Again you lie. Try reading the Book of Enoch. It goes into depth about the Flat Non Rotating Earth. It describes everything. I wonder why it was removed from the Bible? Don't worry about me. Go on Twitter or Youtube. Millions of people on sites everywhere are waking up to the lies. Are you ready to stand before God and defend NASA? Good luck with that.

You beleved in the covid hoax, you stupid boomer! Good grief, I'd think you'd be more humbled after that episode, where you did exactly what the television said, and then it turned out that it was completely stupid. You should know better!

What the **** is wrong with you, you dumb boomer???

You really are very stupid. Someone should put a muzzle on you. Again, like Charlie Brown, good grief!

They're really getting angry at this one guy for questioning their free thinking.

I'll be shocked if this guy isn't a pizzagater.

More people have died that took the vaccine then those that didn't? Nearly every man woman and child in this country and most others, probably 80% or more were vaccinated. You're saying that over 20% of the population has died from covid vaccines. That's ridiculous and a perfect example of how you don't understand even the most basic of math involved in the things you say.

obviously this thread has gone off topic, but some of the claims lately haven't been backed by evidence but rather name calling and vitriol. please consider this:

in his recent interview on Joe Rogan, Democrat presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. summarized the results of the Pfizer trial thusly:

>dude this politician on joe rogan said the jab is deadly!

The fricking state of rightoid politics

People just can't admit that they just might be wrong. That our rulers have a track record of lieing about countless things. From lead paint to fluoride in the water and encouraging people to smoke in the past. Even the doctors said no problem even if your pregnant.

The best thing humanity can do is to start questioning everything. More people are having a "Great Awakening". The Rulers know this. Many secrets are starting to be revealed. it's like the Wizard of Oz Movie. They know they must go now or never. This is a battle for the freedom or the enslavement of humanity. Choose what side you will serve wisely.

Healthy Debates are a normal part of society unless you have Communism with Total Control.

>People just can't admit that they just might be wrong.

Fellas I'm starting to run out of r-slur emojis.

This isn't the true Antartica. No one except for our leaders are allowed there due to the treaty. They have arrested many people over the decades that try to get to close to the Antartica Ice Wall. It's not allowed. There are videos of people flying or on ships being arrested and detained. It's guarded by the military. I can post videos but you would still try to make up some excuses.

Why do you think no one can go to Antarctica when thousands do every year? You can go on line and book a tour yourself. Where do you think all those people go?

Antartica is the Ice Wall that surrounds the flat earth. No one but military and the elite can go there. You can't fly over it or take a ship there. It's prohibited. Those tours are the closest you will ever get and for the money they are a complete joke. Look up Admiral Bryd and the original crews that went there. After they discovered things it was quickly decided by the world leaders to not allow the public to ever go there. The natural resources along are unlike anywhere in the world.

God, please tell me there's groups of flat earthers that travel to Antarctica and demand to see the ice walls.

I didn't necessarily ask this to be rude, but I realize that it was. An Antartica trip, to my knowledge, costs $180k per person for a two-week excursion. I recall a tourist boat capsizing last year off the South American coast, killing nameless dozens in a way that was less sensational than the Titanic submersible vessel-thing.

I'm a simple guy, but I don't think "science" has disproved the viability of HP Lovecraft's story "In the Mountains of Madness" to be loosely factual, where the towering ice mountains in the extreme "south" covered up a gateway to a sleeping, monstrous heck.

We got a Lovecraft truther over here.

Where'd you get those maps, did your kid draw them at school and you had them on your refrigerator? Haha just kidding no kid would be silly enough to draw maps like that. The one with the chaos dragon under the earth, that's a scary guy, how far down is he because I'm planting some flowers this weekend and I would not want to run into him.

Don't quit your day job Flint. Oh Walmart already fired you as a greeter. That sucks, Then back to the street corner begging with your cardboard sign.

Hey!! I make good money with that sign!

The only signs & symbols you like are the secret signs which is how they rule us. Only it's not working as good as it did in the past. Why they must lock down humanity forever as they are losing control of most of the narratives.

>be civil btw

The Baby Boomers got us into this mess but the truth will be revealed. Lies get harder and harder to keep secret. Laugh and mock all you want but I know the truth.

>Laugh and mock all you want

Will do, will do.

And finally the admin steps in to lock the thread:

I'd say it's time to lock it. Flint posted early on that this thread makes Caste Football look bad and is a topic that shouldn't even be allowed for discussion, yet he seems to have posted more in this one thread than he has the rest of the site combined over the past year.

It's been turned into pretty much a mano a mano marathon, with Football Dad now entering the fray as well. White Lightning will always defend his beliefs, while Flint wants him to concede various points and will help keep this thread that he claimed to dislike front and center for an indefinite period of time.

One side presents an alternative perspective that combines faith and religion with what any objective observer should admit also has a certain logic behind aspects of it that don't have to be accepted or submitted to any more than someone has to accept that Anthony Fauci is "The Science" and that both he and weaponized "science" are beyond questioning. The other advocate regularly supports the regime's narratives on just about every important issue and historical event (except when it comes to the Caste System), so there couldn't be a much wider separation between the two. Both have presented voluminous material, more than enough to back their basic positions for anyone interested in studying the flat earth arguments and their rebuttals. So let's call it a draw and move forward to sports.

Fauci's going to be a rightoid boogeyman for decades to come.

And that's just about all of it. There's a shitton more of this guy's ramblings and gab-reposts in the thread but I only took the stuff I thought was most funny. Anyway here's some prime flat earth schizoid infographics the guy posted:

!forumposters let us once again stare into the void that is Caste Football.

Holly Wllloughby's soft breasts.

This morning, I went to the mall. I got in my car back home and discovered the woman who's been fricking loudly isn't some broad in her 40s. It's literally some nice, nerdy, chinless white girl wearing glasses in her 20s at least. What the actual frick. If I saw her on the streets I'd assume she's a virgin yet she's an absolute slut. My worldview has been permanently changed. I waved at her and she waved back pleasantly. Totally normal human outside of being a slut in semi-private.

You should speak to people at their job more. Before just jumping into what you want, just ask if they're alright or how their day's been. I've been doing that and I've noticed how people's faces flush and they smile. They do NOT expect it. I think a lot of folks aren't intentional buttholes, but they're trying to get through life, so it makes things easier to treat people like robots. Don't do this. They're humans and even an "I hope you have a wonderful evening" can change someone's perspective on a shitty day.

It's something @FrozenChosen taught me and it works.

Lastly, I want to buy Timberlands to increase my height. Forums say they boost you a full 2 inches. With insoles, I can get that to 3. However, the pink ones are only for girls and they don't give you the full 2 inches they talk about in manlet forums. That brings me to a full 5 foot 3 minimum! Literal Yao Ming. But I want pink timbs more than the peanut butter ones, so I'm buying the pink ones instead of living my life for women. If they hate me for being 1.5 inches shorter then so be it.

Now to the topic of this post. All through the animal kingdom, men compete to see who has the greater force (this is denied by some). It's not always as obvious as elephants going into must. Sometimes, it's subtle, like the concept of ball busting in humans.

Okay, get it all out now. Busting balls lol it's like the porn genre lol men getting hurt

Back to the main topic. Ball busting is basically events that take place between men, usually when women aren't around. It serves to create a hierarchy. Regular men can handle ball busting which is generally a light amount of making you feel self-conscious.

Examples include pointing out your virginity, laughing at your sports skills, or how poor your family is. Well-adjusted men can take the ball busting and laugh along. Particularly charismatic men can return the ball busting and wreck the buster with a witty comeback. This is rarer thank you think.

But not all men are created equal. This is part of why you'll see men claim patriarchy doesn't exist. What is described genuinely doesn't exist in their lives. While we all benefit from patriarchy, it is not in the same amount. However, to get to this point of understanding, you need to understand hegemonic masculinity.

Hegemonic Masculinity

This is something I'd like

!biofoids

!feminists

to understand. And yes I'm going to specifically MANsplain it to you because no woman I've met really gets this concept. Masculinity and gender are not things or biological impulses. Instead, masculinity is practiced. It exists only so far as it is practiced and if all behaviors deemed masculinity were stopped tomorrow, we'd never speak of the concept ever again. Women are not exempt and they can increase masculinity through its support and by acting it out. You see, masculinity is not limited to bodies.

As Connell argues,

One of the practices is ball busting. I remember as a child, my peers never really did this to me. They understood I was exceptionally sensitive and would cry if such things occurred to me. I remember one example of someone making a joke, then quickly saying "just kidding" afterward because he knew I probably shouldn't be the subject of his ribbing.

Unfortunately, you need to accept ball busting to gain inclusion into male social groups. The truth is that men are meant to each other. Not as bad as women who will psychologically scar each other, leaving you mentally ill, but men are still vicious. Furthermore, unlike women's vindictiveness towards each other, men's ball busting has a positive social effect. It helps you handle the adversities of life which will surely come.

no seething

You seethe, you lose. That's the name of the game None of the men who have publicly seethe over ball busting have been respected. It is anti-male. NEVER SEETHE WHEN GETTING YOUR BALLS BUSTED. Here are two examples:

1. Will Smith

This is obvious. he got his balls busted publicly, chimped out, and now he no longer gets his balls busted. Instead, he gets humiliated globally. At first it was a joke. Now being a cuck is his identity. We know what hurts him so we keep doing it.

Deeply immoral. I actually share Chris's sadness at the end of it all. I've had someone insult me all night and you just have to try and keep composure. It would feel so good If I razor bladed to the white meat tonight but I have personal training tomorrow at 6 am. If I can get my first-aid kit tomorrow, I'll destroy myself on Tuesday evening and be functional for Wednesday. I'll go extra hard on the self-harming to make up for not doing it today like the evil person I am. I can slip this in and nobody will notice because you're all hollyfapping.

Ever had someone try to help you, then they realize how deep the abyss is and they run away? "Like, holy shit I thought you just needed a hug but you need a new brain. I want to be there for you but I can't someone like you in my life." I think I've done that to multiple people with good intentions.

I'm scared of driving but I have to do it tomorrow. I can't see shit. I went to the optometrist and I have an appointment tomorrow.

2. Chris Everett

Don't know too much about sports but a man named Jim gets called Chris as a joke. Jim doesn't like it so he tells the interviewer that who hilariously calls him Chris again leading to a fight. He is pretty much assured that he will be called Chris forever.

3. Jesse Ventura

The Opie and Anthony show (did I write a Cumia article already?) is an edgy show that no longer exists because the hosts were hilarious but too r-slurred and funny. In an interview in one episode, Jim and Jesse Ventura get into a fight about American politics.

Things get heated and Jim starts busting Jesse's balls. Jesse's leaves early and touches Jim. It's one of those back pats you'd give a dog. Jim basically tells Jesse to frick off and if he wants to get violent then that's that. He knows he will lose but it doesn't make him wrong. Based tbh, you should implement that in life when people try to intimidate you "hit me, doesn't make you right. You're not the first big guy to do this to me, nor will you be the last.

Mid reactions to ball busting

1. Method Man

You can frick up ball busting badly, but you can also do okay. This doesn't mean dominating your ball busters, just proving you can handle it. In this video, a man is in a video with Method Man. He tries to imply something, which is obvious, but Method Man doesn't like that so he busts his balls a bit. It's all in good fun.

By the end of it, they're both smiling. As a piece of advice, you're never supposed to let go of your mic as a newscaster, interviewer, or anything. The mic is your power and when you let lose of it, you give that power away.

2. Donald Trump

For all the shit he's given, trump handled this ball busting well when we would have been crying. Imagine getting your shit pushed in by the first black president. And he's a Tyrone.

He got absolutely rekt on the world stage and he didn't walk up and slap Obama. I consider that a W.

>my secret service!

The very act of getting up would have been up enough to show that Trump didn't want his balls busted. Instead, he offered a rebuttal by taking Obama's fricking job. I don't think there's ever been a response to ball busting this complete and annihilating. He won. It's that simple. It doesn't matter how he did as president. He took Obama's job, and proved all that pooping on him wasn't enough to make him ineligible for Obama's job. So Obama is no better.

The funny thing is that he mocked Trump for being a reality TV star when his daughter is an actress.

Best reactions to ball busting

I was going to post actual ball busting porn here but I can't stomach it. Neither is it the thing that you can google because you'll inevitably see heels on scrotums which is what I don't want. Instead I'll post my three favorite fighting videos. The first is an African man who has a narrator I swear I hear in my sleep. This neighbor like "HE AFRICAN REPRESENT FOR WAKANDA" and then we see the African driver wreck the dude who was provoking him. No ball busting but definitely humiliating.

African definitely put in that work. The second video features an amazing spartan kick from a woman. The laughter afterwards will haunt her dreams.

https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/df7vp3/dont_touch_her_fricking_sister_hoe

The last video features a black man putting like 4 white girls on the floor.

They thought they were gonna pull his hair like a typical girl fight

Tune in next time when I finally address the Oxford shooting. This one is a shoo-in because I read the 500+ page report afterwards and wewlad the school and the parents have a lot to answers. Actually, not the school much but certain individuals basically shit themselves and fricked off when they should have been going toward gunfire.

https://oxfordresponse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/FINAL-REPORT-OCS-Investigation.pdf

If you want to prepare. It's going to be a long one (over 10 pages).

I don't want to do it anymore

The zest I once felt to interact with others and find love has disappeared. I'd rather stay home where it is safe and you can craft a relatively stable life. I wanted to go hiking, but I had communication problems and it never happened.

I think Sarah is the one and I can't accept her saying no. I want to marry her. I know things she doesn't know, masculine things, and she needs me. I'll write her a love letter and persevere until she says yes. How come in every situation they say try your hardest but in love you're supposed to hear no once and quit? Frick it, I'm asking her on a date.

But before that, I'm going to the club again tonight. A different club. Online I see no events, but I'll take some benzos and pay entrance. My card is frozen (fraud) so I can only get a new debit card on Monday. So I have to use credit card ha ha.

It's either this or self-harm tonight so I'll take the slightly more adventurous option lol. I remember back in high school, during a post-exam event, we were at a club and the dude just turned around and kissed a girl. No Rizz, nothing, just action.

This time around my intention is to stunt. I will wear a button-up shirt and be the classist-looking guy there. I'll buy take two benzos and call an Uber. When I'm there I'll only buy one run and coke. Should let me get drunk without blacking out instantly.

From images online, I see there's hookah rooms. I still have plenty of physical money so I might buy a room and some to entice women there. I'll offer alcohol, vodka, and benzoes. I'll leave at 10 PM and this is my last night out at clubs. If nothing happens, I'll quit.

Hey man, why are you a SWERF?

I know the answer like the back of my hand. Yes, I'm anti s*x work. Why? Because the overall industry is an exploitative and I don't believe this can be policed away because of the escalatory nature of the drug.

I can find countless cases of women being harmed by the porn industry. I'll discuss the most important that changed the industry:

1. Dennis

The Bunny Ranch, is located in Nevada and is owned by Dennis Hof, writer of the autobiography titled “The Art of the Pimp”. This is what prostituted women who have legally worked for Dennis Hof has said:

• Jennifer O'Kane says that during her first week “he asked me to undress and sit next to him,” O'Kane said. “At that point he put his hands around my neck and explained to me that I was his.” In a police report filed in 2016, she also claimed that he r*ped and battered her daily.

• Diana Grandmaison claims that in 2009 Hof summoned her to the brothel's bar, reached under her skirt and assaulted her in public. She also claims that he assaulted women regularly. She adds “he did this to girls at the brothel all the time. He would make young girls sit on his lap. I had no choice — you couldn't say no. If you said no, you were going to pay a price and get kicked out of the brothel.”

• Krissy Summers claims “I walked in and he said, ‘Hi, I'm Dennis Hof.' And I remember thinking, ‘I know who you are.' And then he said, ‘Take off your pants.' That was it. ‘Take off your pants.' I was absolutely terrified. Dennis was only the second man I'd ever been with.”

• Another woman, Cami Parker, states “You want Daddy to like you. You won't have a very good time if he doesn't, so if he wants you to [have s*x with him], you definitely should.” Parker also states that Hof pressured her to constantly lose weight, resulting in her developing a serious eating disorder that almost killed her.

• A woman who refused to be named stated “Dennis pulls me close to him, opens my legs, and I pulled my legs together, said ‘no,' and made excuses to try to leave or make him leave.” When Dennis didn't allow her to leave, she eventually “Gave in”.

>That's just one place!

Okay, find me a place, a single legal porn company, with no such allegations. I'll wait.

2. Asian massage parlour

This may be shocking, but it is not unexpected. A similar working model is found in other forms of legal or grey—area prostitution such as Asian massage parlours where many of the women working often have no immigration papers and are brought into the united states with the promise of employment only to find that they will be expected to do s*x work. With no immigration papers, many are afraid that they will be arrested should they complain to authorities. Although the joked about ‘happy ending' in Asian massage parlours is often spoken about in comical terms, the reality of it simply isn't funny. For more information on this, I would recommend the documentary Hidden S*x Slaves of Massage Parlours which follows an investigator in San Francisco who inspects Asian Massage Parlours and finds many women desperate to leave.

3 Linda Lovelace

One of the most famous examples of this is Susan Boreman who in 1972, starred in the pornographic film Deep Throat under the pseudonym Linda Lovelace. The film became one of the highest grossing x-rated films at the time. However, years later Susan Boreman came forward with allegations that the director, Chuck Traynor, has abused her during filming. Furthermore, she claimed that she was forced to do several scenes against her will, with Chuck (not Sneed) standing with an M16 rifle pointed at her just off camera.

Furthermore, she claims that in the film, bruises from her abuse could be seen. Such cases have caused MacKinnon to state that pornography differs from other sources of media in that what is depicted may be fantasy, but it requires actual women to be subjected to the acts being seen. In other words, porn is done to women.

MacKinnon writes that “it is for pornography, and not by the ideas in it, that women are hurt and penetrated, tied and gagged, undressed and genitally spread and sprayed with lacquer and water so s*x pictures can be made.” MacKinnon also makes that claim, without providing a source, that “all pornography is made under conditions of inequality based on s*x, overwhelmingly by poor, desperate, homeless, pimped women who were sexually abused as children”.

For every GirlsDoPorn, an Ava Addams is speaking positively about the porn industry. In my opinion, all streams lead to the same river. Support one and you fuel the others.

So those are my two options: delve into the realm of VR and coomer to the max, defying my principes. Or continue down this path to find a real girl, but there's 0 certainty I'll succeed.

Trophies

So here's my trophies

Bronze - attend nightclub

Bronze - buy a drunk

Bronze - have an interaction with a woman

Bronze - speak to man

Silver - speak to a woman

Silver - speak to a woman without being told to frick off

Gold - kiss girl

Platinum - have s*x

Hidden trophy - find drugs

If I don't get silver, I'm buying s*x I don't care about morality. I will explain what happens if I do frick a high-end prostitute. This is pure exploitation of another human being and I consider it deeply immoral but I' do it.

I just want to experience a female. Why is this the hardest thing I've done in my life?

Completing one of Goggins' task

I've done everything in the coward one. At first, hiking was the fear, but personal training has taken over. I no longer consider myself a coward. The following story is based on the concept of the governer by Goggins.

Within all of us is a king. If you are a woman, imagine a queen.

That king tells us what to do. The king decides this through his consultants who span many departments e.g. department of sight, memory, pain etc. Most of the time, the king is wise and listens to his consultants.

For example, if your consultants see a situation resemble a past one, the consultants will tell the king, and he'll tell you not to do it. Most of the time, the consultants get things right - it's their job and if they were wrong you would die. Sometimes, they get things terribly wrong:

• This will turn out like the past

• This is as far your body can go

• You can't do this

With this information, the consultants race to the king and tell him this. His usual response is to stop the activity. “You failed at the club last time, nothing will change this time. Don't waste your time.” The king may be right, or he may be wrong, so the only way to know is to go to the club.

The more you defy, the more you stop being a puppet and you become a real boy. The king relents and lets you make your own choices given what the king knows. So that's why I'm headed to another nightclub even though every fiber of my being is saying not to.

Goggins overall

Reading Goggins was good.He completed Heck week for for the Navy three times. Those are ran by the hardest BIPOCs out there who have to pick out the best of the best. They say all men are created equal but that clearly isn't the case.

I think can hear my neighbors I think I can hear my neigbors having s*x which is my cue to get ready to frick off. I write this at about 08:37. According to my research, peak club time is 11ish, so get there by 10ish is my estimate.

I got braces but I”m taking the elastics off. Like someone had told me, no opiates, no pain pills

Return

Timmy Turner! I have returnered! It actually wasn't that bad. If you factor in a general bad mood with social anxiety, I think I did well. I think I scored my first silver.

Entered the establishment and realised it wasn't like the prior one.

So this is what we're working with: clean apartment, smart clothing, money, club with hookah rooms, 2 benzos, and I'm limiting myself to one rum and coke. In the end, I didn't buy hookey nor did I dress smart. Just a black t-shirt and a red jacket. With my braces and glasses I look like Steve Urkel kek

I liked the vibe, it was a lot more chilled. People were seated smoking hookah in several rooms. There were some hot women. Like 9/10 women. Went to the bar and got a rum and coke, two benzos in me already. I also bought a cigarette and let her keep the change.

Next, I chilled in the lounge. There was a guy there with a girl drinking. They weren't fricking. It's crazy how you tell this obviously within 5 seconds yet if you're in the situation you're essentially blind. I know this mirrors mine and Sarah's situation, but that's different. We're meant to be, she doesn't know it yet.

I moved to the next lounge, and spoke to the staff a bit, and got an ashtray. Silver unlocked. I don't care if she's paid to be nice to me. Baby steps.

Afterwards, I went to some dudes and got a lighter. I spoke to the lady later and tipped her generously. Following this exchange of money of gratitude I returned to the first lounge. A new guy had arrived. This guy? Getting fricked. It's obvious the girl liked her. There was a third couple. This guy was not getting fricked and the girl took the first excuse to leave when she saw her friends.

A guy saw me and spoke to me. He was very nice and wanted to know my name. Here's what I learned:

• it works! Buying a bucket of alcohol works! The guys who did this had girls around him. I don't think this would have worked at the prior club where girls genuinely came to dance around a culture

• When girls like you, they get really close to you and smile a lot. The girl who was fricking off the one guy, she was looking my way. I think she liked me

• It's not over - this club/lounge was impossible, you need friends me to make anything of it, but I'd have a different outcome if I had a friend. I'm going to ask my barber (loctitian for you mayos) to show me around. He's the only one I know

• Take a fricking uber and enjoy the night. Two benzoes + alchohol is based but it is immoral to drive in this state. Glad I ubered

Once I was a good was into my drink, I had naughty thoughts. I wanted to just sit with a random group or harass a group of women. I think it's just being 28 that gave me the mental capacity to say “no, that's fricked up. Don't do that”. I can totally imagine 22 year old me doing exactly what my thoughts demanded

Conclusion

OH LET'S DO IT

One one hand, I've lost hope in myself. Nobody will ever love me romantically so I'll buy a facsimile of it. If I do, no worthwhile women will ever come near me, but they weren't approaching prior either so nothing was lost.

On the other hand, I feel like these were experiments that were showing me how humans work. I want to visit a high-end club next. The ones with cocaine. Plus I think I scored a silver trophy. Do you agree? Lastly, I still smell like cigs, my entire apartment does.My parents 100% knew I was smoking cigs back in school that smell cannot be avoided.

I want to do a review of every controller this gen next. We'll see how it goes. I wonder what the club is like when you're depressed and suicidal because that's what's next.

The real Asian Street Food was not the Michelin Bib Gourmand awarded Oyster Omelettes I had in the morning

Nor a similarly Michelin awarded pork innards noodle soup that seemed to be hit so hard by inflation that they served us this in a huge bowl (we paid extra for the egg too)

But the random unsung street hawker hero you'll find at a random 7-11 or convenience store all around Asia (except Singapore because ) in the wee hours

Who might be smoking and talking shit with his buddies at the side but still notices you looking and asks you for your order

Whose menu probably made in notepad is simply "chicken", "pork", "beef", "seafood" with rice or one of the 819 types of asian noodles

Who then whips up the obvious choice of seafood instant noodles on the grill and tells you to frick off to the 7-11 first if you don't like to wait

Whose fricking culinary masterpiece hits you right in the nose when you take it out of the takeaway bag and into a proper bowl

Who mogs your cooking because your supper avoidant wife finishes half the bowl when you offer her a bite

Whose mastery of cooking 4 types of proteins with 820 types of carbs you'll never beat because you were never from the favelas

Sadly the only proof I have of him existing is this random chopstick, wedge of lime and random thai/asian seasonings in a non-descript plastic bag, but IYKYK

This post is fricking gay and unnecessary but enveloped my soul as I had the first REAL asian street food meal ever since fricking covid broke

And I still vividly remember it being a warm and comforting bowl of congee that I had while severely hungover/drunk in Phnom Penh a couple hours or five after midnight

That's why I know how to make congee: https://rdrama.net/h/food/post/229447/marseyitsoverwerebackchingchon-X (formerly chiobu)s-silky-cantonese-congee-recipe

They even help to keep Asians relatively slim because:

• The serving sizes are just perfect

• 50% of the time it'll give you the shits anyway

!goyslopenjoyers plz try the asian goyslop if you ever come across it

God I feel like just taking that walk down a dark alleyway just to order another bowl right now

Neighbour did I really longpost over a $5 bowl of instant noodles

Worth it

Frick it I'll just do it for the pics brb

They were literally just cleaning up when I reached FRICK

AT LEAST I have some more proof of his existence

And the name of his stall is literally just "pad thai" bro I love you but that's not gonna help even if your genius was operating in Finland or something

But at the end of the day the absolute balls to call yourself "pad thai" because you know that you're the best and deserve it

Ok I'm going to bed sad now because it's like some love story where you missed "the one" by 5 minutes due to longposting on a orange cat enjoying homo forum good night

Also I should have lied that the noodles had thai estradiol or something so the !jannies would pin my effortpost but alas I guess that would be too many posts for their tastes thanks

Lmao suddenly thought of the "Sorrowful Rice" dish

went back tonight and was shocked but not really surprised that it was packed full of locals another testament to the chef's skills

gonna dig in now with some thai whisky for the full thai experience too, the place also makes oyster omelettes so I had to try since the Michelin ones were pretty meh

Update: Pad thai was amazing as usual and they should stick to that IMO oyster omelette tasted bad to me but maybe that's their style since I didn't like the other ones too the noodles though O M G

edit: alcohol purchase hours are so weird here because you're allowed to buy booze from 11am onwards till midnight except for a 3 hour period between 2-5 pm lol

something to take note of if you ever come to thailand

I promised @D in my previous airport post that I'll take photos of our “Budget Terminal” for him to mock so here it is

The cab driver sped like a motherlover so I have too much time before my flight too

As you can see, this terminal is segregated from the rest of them which are all directly connected and you have to take a bus to reach the other terminals kinda like a poorcel filter you can see from the departure board that it's all budget airlines although I have no idea why Cathay Pacific is there

I'll walk around and update the post in case it fricks up on my phone

I spot a sign indicating “Jurassic Mile” and I brave the rain to take dino pics for @3 its a cycling track I guess

It's 5 am so only is open if you want food

Darn it's actually boring here compared to last week

At least security and immigration took 5 minutes and I realised that in this terminal everyone has to do security checks right after immigration (same as many other airports I've visited) compared to security checks being done at the individual gates before you board your flight at the other terminals. Feels like they're alluding to poorcels being cattle and just dumping everyone at the same place

$50 for 2 cocktails lol insane

That's how shophouses of the past looked like no not with the Texas Chicken

If you see a queue like this at a hawker stall here it usually means that the food is good And oops it means that the previous statement about only Burger King being open at 5 am was misinformation

There doesn't seem to be anything interesting anymore so I'll go charge my Chromebook and wait to board

Sorry for the stupid post and thanks for helping me pass some time lol

Security screening at the individual gates in the other terminals look like this:

See you on the other side I'm SURPRISED barely anyone else bought duty-free booze even though the flight is full guess I'm a renegade ^{or an alcoholic…}

Landed and queuing at immigration and I forgot that there are so many mayos in the queue it definitely does not feel like asia lmao

So what goes into a thread that catches attention:

• Education - we see this with @kaamrev. Individuals who would normally would not care about world politics suddenly want to read. You are a smart, eloquent, dramanaut. Evidently, @kaamrev is skilled at finding obscure yet important topics that are impossible to turn away from. I wish to capture the same beautiful curiosity. As Goggins would put it, @kaamrev I'm here to take your soul. I refuse to have anyone exceed me as a writer. Anything but that, regardless of the context. Frick more than me, have a better family, earn more degrees, but you will not outwrite me. I will take your soul if you dare try, and you will be an empty shell at the end of it, aware that you're pursuing a futile task you cannot succeed at.

There is nothing more futile than trying to outwrite me, though I am not the greatest writer ever. I failed to get my English PhD, but I will rip your soul from your body if you want to compete on this platform. South African history? The plight of the Black man? My personal experiences? We are yin and yang, and so long as you put words to pages, you'll find me not far behind.

• Taking souls - When I work out at home, I see a specific face. It's someone who physically looked at me, reveling in her power over me. That face can motivate me to do anything, even wreck a small girl. I know I have the discipline to work on my body, I just need direction. That's why I've seen a personal trainer. The trainer can teach me the how and the where but they can't answer the biggest question - why. For me, it's that look of impunity. “I could slap you and nobody would do anything. I have all the power and you have none. Nobody here will protect you because you are powerless.” Nobody will ever make me feel like that ever again and I swear to god if a woman did that to me again I'd clock them in the face. Yes, my flame is a female face.

So, no need for further delays. In this post, I'd like to three important topics

1. Why I quit my PhD after 4 years

2. Phyiscal trainer

3. Clubbing

4. Asexuality

Why I quit my PhD after 4 years

I find myself at a strange threshold. On the one hand and I've thrown away 4 years of thesis research and missed the PhD by age 30 club. This doesn't mean I've given up on ideas I once held strongly enough to write endlessly on them with fervent passion. I'm still a dedicated Jungian and follower of Campbell - university just isn't the right place to explore these concepts.

On the other hand, I'm currently living through the happiest era of my life, and while problems still plague me as they do us all, I am extremely grateful that I no longer have to deal with the university of the department I was part of. To be specific, I can go weeks without even knowing what “cruelty” is.

When I arrived at Rhodes University, I came as a science student and the primary goal was to acquire a computer science degree and become a software engineer. But I have a love of literature, so I also enrolled in the English department. This ultimately meant I was taking more credits than your regular science student, but the sacrifice was worth it for me if it meant that I could explore the world of literature with experts.

I arrived in 2014, and the English department was more than I could hope for. The texts I was exposed to expanded my mind and all ideas of what literature is capable of. Texts like New York Trilogy and Bartleby, the Scrivener set the tone, and I was so invested in learning more. This was 2014. Since then, I've watched the quality of texts deteriorate rapidly. We are currently in a situation where you can earn your Ph.D. without having ever read Shakespeare. You can get your bachelor's degree without knowing who Carl Jung or Joseph Campbell are.

Having tutored for years, I've watched how the kinds of books on offer have changed, and how they are deliberately pointed toward obvious political conclusions. It's a wave of Nervous Conditions followed by The Handmaid's Tale in case you didn't get it the first time. None of these texts are inherently bad - my issue is that they were purely springboards to predetermined political topics.

But that isn't why I left. In fact, it has very little to do with my decision at all. I left because I felt hated, worthless, and completely unwanted. I was shown unbridled contempt, made to know I am a disgusting, wretched human being who is entirely inadequate.

It came from the texts I was being exposed to.

More than that, it came from the people that surrounded me. I was hated and rejected. I'm not a perfect person. I've made terrible mistakes in my past, ones that I'm still attempting to mend to this day. I've lied and been late and…. said I think chick lit is easy. I don't believe this justifies castigation for literal years. After psychological care, I am not of the belief that my flaws justify my dark descent into severe self-harm, a chasm I have yet to levitate my way out of.

Every human being is born flawed. We will die flawed. And in the time between the spark of divinity shines within us all. Hence, we're all equals, from the pauper to the prince. Revolutionary!

To say there are two sides to every story is an understatement. Any narrative has as many sides as there are observers. I know that there will be some who read this with glee, knowing I've fallen short of my academic goals. Undoubtedly, others will believe I received every I deserve in a meeting of justice.

That's okay. You can't hurt me. No, I'm not where I want to be in life just yet. I will earn my Ph.D., and I will do so without sacrificing my self-worth. Baby steps.

personal trainer

The main problem I was noticing was that my exercises were helping me lose weight, but they were not help me with muscle. Here's an image of a typical exercise day, don't laugh please, I started from scratch after car accident.

It helped me get from 58kg to 50kg so it works for weight loss. Now I want muscle gain but I want muscle and I don't know what to do despite Human Kinentics being one of my majors. I called a personal trainer, she asked me some questions, then wanted to evaluate me irl. We shared messages were I spilled spaghetti HARD. She must think I'm r-slurred after that. She said she'll see me at 5:30PM. I was like okay, 5:30AM, and she had to clarify.

I got awoken by neighbours having s*x so I decided to work on this document since sleep is slow to return. It took me a long time to get to this point, where I want my physique to scare others. For the longest, I thought it was wrong to be male,and that making myself as harmless as possible is the solution.

Some of it is fueled by my father who was a violent person so I associate rage, violence, and evil all as one. I'm learning to separate the monster from the father. Sometimes, people need to be scared because they won't respect you. It's a worst-case scenario but violence and fear are necessary.

clubbing

I want to go to nightclub. I am thinking of asking my headdresser if he wants to go out some time. Maybe, but I also want the challenge of going alone sober so I can enjoy benzoes. I'll leave sober, take an uber, then arrive and take 4-5 pills. I'lll be the same as a drunk person which should be perfect for the club.

That's Saturday evening after the morning hike. I'll probably take a nap between.

asexuality

So, what is asexuality?

Asexuality is an identity which lies outside the bounds of heteronormativity. As a consequence, it is an identity that is often misunderstood, and those who identify as asexual may have trouble articulating their authentic selves to others and understanding themselves using the lenses given to them by society.

Part of this inscrutability is motivated by assumptions made about humans that are defied by asexual identities. Humans are considered to be creatures with innate sexual desires. One of the most pervasive social assumptions is that all humans possess sexual desire. This is typically referred to as the ‘sexual assumption'. The sexual assumption manifests in various fields of knowledge such as psychology and medicine where sexuality is seen as a natural, healthy and essential aspect of the human, and the possibility of an asexual human has been recognized only relatively recently, and then solely in pathologizing terms.

Even psychoanalysts such as Sigmund Freud (I hate this man0 assume a “sexual basis to basically the entire range of human psychology” (Elizabeth Hanson). Thus, not unexpectedly, research by Cara MacInnes et al reveals that “sexual desire is considered a key component of human nature, and those lacking it are viewed as relatively deficient and less human. Hence, in a questionnaire distributed among undergraduate students, “asexuals were attributed significantly lower uniquely human traits than any other sexual orientation group” (MacInnes et al 731).

So am I asexual?

Okay, so I come home and see my neighobr's window open. That makes me think “yay, at least no s*x sounds.” I was wrong. They still frick loudly. I do get some relief that these folks in particular are peepee fricks involving the rest of the world in their fetish.

Not writing much tonight because I'm taking a large dose of Benzos to calm some driving and work-related anxiety I'm in.

I've been asking myself this question. DO I truly want s*x? The truth is that I want to pair-bond with the opposite s*x. I saw a personal trainer and we set up a regime. I need to eat 5x a day instead of 2 and I need protein shakes. I can't do weight gain on my own.

I'lll conclude with a quote that sums up my thoughts:

“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”

It is not true that I am asexual.

When Kaamrev was working on his recent post about the sinking of the ferry MV Sewol I told him I might try writing about President Park Geun Hye's role that day. But when I thought about it I realized that story ties into so much of the rest of her life, I might as well just write about all of it. Maybe one post on the cult stuff, one on the ferry, and one on the impeachment.

But to set all that up I really need to first explain her father because he was a huge influence on her (and all of Korea). This is going to be lots of words words words without too much drama until the end, but I've tried to keep it pared down to just what I need to tell to set up his daughter's more dramatic story.

@JoyceCarolOates just made this. I love it so much.

Early Life

Park Chung Hee was in 1917. He managed to escape poverty by joining the army of Japan's Manchurian puppet state. He went on to study at Japan's military academy and briefly serve as an officer during WW2. Returning home, he was accepted into the South Korean army but thrown out in 1948 on suspicions of being a pinko. When war broke out he was called back to service, rising to the rank of brigadier general.

The postwar years were bleak for South Korea. Most of the country's infrastructure was destroyed and the government was too corrupt and ineffective to rebuild. There was hardly any economy apart from collecting US aid. In 1960 the government collapsed as the army and police refused to shoot protesters. Real democracy was introduced, but this only made the situation more chaotic as factions bickered with each other.

Korea was far from alone. Democracies around the world were failing, plagued by corruption, incompetence, and factionalism. Most third world democracies would be overthrown in military coups during the 1960s. Even France had its own in 1958. While we tend to assume today that democracy is always better than dictatorship, that was far from an obvious conclusion to make at the time.

Manlets in sunglasses rise up! Park in the middle.

In 1961 Park made his move. It was a textbook military coup. He plotted with fellow officers who had been his classmates at military academies and together they made a sudden move to seize the capital. The army at all levels from generals to ordinary conscripts supported him or stood out of the way. The public's reaction ranged from apathy to enthusiastic support. A junta of military officers was formed but Park quickly moved to eliminate all potential competition and take power for himself.

More manlets in junta drip.

President Park

I know what you're expecting to happen now. The dictator and his cronies immediately loot everything that isn't nailed down. They turn out to be even more corrupt and incompetent than their predecessors. Their secret police run rampant. The economy crashes. Minorities are scapegoated. Maybe they start a foreign war to distract from domestic problems. But that's where we run into a plot twist. Some of those things partially happened but they're not the real story.

I guess everyone has sunglasses.

Kennedy was president and the struggle between democracy and communism in Asia was one of his main priorities. He wasn't about to be embarrassed by Korea turning into a dictatorship so he insisted that they have an election. Park had no choice since he was so dependent on American economic and military aid. But he won the election and that gave him the legitimacy to carry out aggressive reforms.

Korea had once been among the most dynamic, innovative, technologically advanced nations in the world. That was in the 1400s. Centuries of stagnation followed with a rigid caste system run by yangban scholars (the guys with the big hats) jerking each other off about Confucius and poetry. Finally at the end of the 1800s Koreans desperate for reform basically invited the Japanese to take over because it was the only hope of breaking the deadlock. Unfortunately the Japanese are weirdo perverts and tried to forcibly assimilate and destroy the Korean nation, but let's be honest. They did a lot to turn it into a modern country.

Korea back in the glory days. I had to work Jang Geum into this somehow.

I mention this because Park was educated by the Japanese and spent time in Japan itself. He got first hand exposure to an Asian country that was industrialized and had its shit together. After that he served in the war alongside the US Army and saw the immense capabilities of a modern country with a vast economy and competent well-organized people. And he saw how the South Korean army through training and experience was able to approach that level of competence in just a couple years.

He saw what was possible for Korea if it modernized. Decisions wouldn't be made by elderly men wearing goofy hats sitting on pillows. It would become a nation with steel mills and tanks and oil refineries and jet fighters and television. Park had a vision of the future and enough experience with other cultures to see how to achieve it. But notice that this experience is in the military, much of it with the Japanese, who had a rigidly hierarchical culture where you slap the shit out of whoever is beneath you.

ROKAF F-4D, 1979.

The Miracle

So if Park isn't your stereotypical evil dictator, what did he do?

Under his leadership the "Miracle on the Han River" began, the period from the mid 1960s-mid 1990s when South Korea's economy developed perhaps more rapidly than any other nation ever in history. He didn't bring in ivory tower economists from some foreign university to try experimenting with their theories. The prevailing idea at the time was " import substitution", making stuff inside your own country so you don't have to import it.

Park's approach was much more pragmatic, following Japan's example of an export driven economy. Instead of making what you want, make the stuff you're good at making and sell it overseas to get money to buy what you need. Also he didn't have any particular religious fervor for socialism or libertarianism. Certain companies were given preferential loans and expected to follow the government's long term plans for economic development but there wasn't the kind of centralized micromanagement that was so crippling in the Communist Bloc and many third world countries. Unlike many industrializing economies, Park's regime also paid careful attention to rural areas and made sure they were not completely left out of the country's rising prosperity.

Part of the vast POSCO steel complex at Pohang, built with Japanese assistance in the 1970s.

Of course somebody had to pay for all this investment. A lot of money poured in from the USA in the form of aid but also through the large US military presence in the country. South Korea was compensated well for sending 350,000 troops to fight in Vietnam and Korean companies profited from construction work there. But the biggest contribution came from Japan. In 1965 Park signed a controversial peace treaty, accepting $800 million in reparations over the next decade, which was actually a lot of money at the time. Victims of Japanese oppression and slavery were understandably offended that instead of being compensated the money went into building steel mills for rich people, but it did jumpstart an economic miracle.

Pretty big gun for this dude.

The Miracle Ends

Park remained popular through the 1960s but some parts of the population never warmed up to him. He was ruthless in crushing all opposition. While certainly not as bad as most of his contemporaries, he did have opponents tortured and sometimes killed. North Korean spies really were crawling all over the country and trying to assassinate him, so it was easy to accuse someone of being a communist and make them disappear.

It was not enough to prevent the opposition from gaining strength and in 1971 they came dangerously close to winning the election. The following year he carried out a self-coup and rewrote the constitution to essentially make himself dictator for life. Repression grew much more severe as Park relied on the military and Korean Central Intelligence Agency to keep his hold over an increasingly unruly population. A new generation born after the war was now growing up and they were much less ready to accept military rule. The economy was still booming but there was great resentment over how much of the new wealth was controlled by the chaebol, a few dozen families of Park cronies.

By 1979 Park had reached a crossroads. Protests were growing even in his hometown of Busan. He would have to either use violence on a massive scale to put them down or try to compromise. The first option was supported by Cha Ji Chul, chief of his bodyguard, who had grown close to him after his wife was killed in a failed assassination attempt in 1974. Cha pandered to Park's authoritarian tendencies, egging him on to kill the protesters.

Cha Ji Chul.

On the other side was Kim Jae Gyu. (This is a rare moment in Korean history where three people are together and they all have different family names.) Kim was an old friend of Park since their days in the Korea Military Academy after WW2. He was now head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, in charge of the government's mechanism for spying on and subverting the opposition. But he was not happy in his job. He had long advised Park to ease his grip on power and return to a more democratic government. He resented having to do the dirty work of the increasingly illegitimate Park regime.

Kim Jae Gyu.

This may have remained a mere policy dispute were it not for Cha being a total peepeehead. He went out of his way at every opportunity to sabotage Kim's work and insult him in public. This was especially galling as in Korea at the time a man was supposed to owe some deference to those who had been higher ranking in the military even in civilian life. Kim had been a lieutenant general. Cha had been a lieutenant colonel. He hadn't even been old enough to fight in the war. Kim was infuriated that this uppity zoomer had gained the ear of his old friend the president and was poisoning his mind.

This singer, Shim Su Bom, sang this song at the dinner and witnessed the assassination.

One night at a dinner attended by Park, Kim, Cha, and a few others, Kim finally snapped. There is still much debate over exactly what was going on in his mind, but apparently he had wanted to kill Cha for a long time. At dinner they came back to the same argument, with Cha calling for a massacre of the protesters and Park taking his side. At this point Kim leaves and tells a few subordinates he's had enough. He's going to kill Cha tonight. Also Park too but that's almost an afterthought. He returns to the dinner with two guns and shoots them. Unfortunately he has done very little to actually organize a coup and he is quickly captured and executed. Soon an even worse military dictator seizes power.

Legacy

When Park's wife was killed in 1974, his daughter Park Geun Hye returned from studying overseas to carry out the ceremonial duties of the First Lady. These formative years of her life were also the most autocratic of her father's reign and she can't help but have been influenced. We will see more of her in the future.

ANOTHER W FOR TRANSQUEENS!

Have you heard the 3 months-old good news? No? Well have you at least ever heard of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus, better known as Elagabalus ? Neither? Yeah, not surprising.

Well guess what! you motherlovers were too busy sneeding about sandshit and New-Yorkers bombing Dearborn neighbors to smitherins. , some historical footnote character recently got pulled out of irrelevancy few months back, when the British Museum decided to deem him her trans-coded!

"But What?" you may ask, "CoconutGun , surely this would have made some noise if the Grandioso British National Museum pandered to trans shittery!" Well you are right, and the explanation here is that No, I'm not talking about THE British National Museum, the one's who's fricking based and keeps artefacts looted and spoiled from all the places the brits ever set foot on .

No, I am talking about the one soon to overshadow the latter, the one and only! The North Herdfordshire museum! What is that? Oh, some random city 50km away from London's metro area whose random museum that opened 4 years ago looks like any small town library. But anyway, this museum which most of its content is probably dedicated to local miscellaneous artefacts locals found gathering dust in their attics seems to be controlled by a bunch of Humanities degree weirdoes because they won't ever shut the frick up about trans rights

But what prompted the North CummingPoopingtonshire museum to respect Elagabalus' pronouns? Well simple, they did so after consulting the experts scholars of... Stonewall!

The slap-fights

Victory screech

Naturally, the Bird-app and Tumblr folks cried in celebration for this precious bean they absolutely knew frickall about, finally being vindicated! Like sharks sensing blood in the water, they immediately sucked it up seized the body of some random neighbor that died 18 centuries ago and hopped on the bandwagon parading him as the newest transqueen

You may have heard of the transgender Roman Emperor Elagabalus, but how true are the claims that she was trans? Find out in Episode III of We Have Always Existed

Same poster later on:

The transphobes getting ahold of this tweet are so predictable and tedious, y'all are the least interesting people on Earth. Get a life

What a level-headed being, I wonder what they look like:

I highly advise people to browse xer birdapp account. It literally looks like one of y'alls bait profiles.

Its joever

Meanwhile, chuds are naturally not happy. Poor fricks are even losing their roman bust statues from the troid menace, can't have shit on twitter.

Here is one decrying the list of Ws the Woke Agenda have been pulling

This week, museums, endorsed by significant parts of both the mainstream media and academia, have:

• Claimed the plague was racist

• Removed an exhibit because a woman called a man "male"

• Promoted a call for the murder of Jews

• Said a Roman emperor was a 'trans woman'

Lots of pearl-clutching and doomposting

We have let the radical left get control of academia and the media because we thought their bias would not harm us. Now we are called alt-right if we believe the most basic scientific facts and governments worldwide are organizing to curb our freedom of expression. It is time to point out absurdities and to express our opinions even when they are unpopular.

Obligatory post from our favourite self-hating asian lolcow, Mr. Cheong

I skimmed the threads, but besides rightoids sneeding there was nothing much, until I found this guy! Portland Professor Phd!

The original Romans/Italians were actually Black. Look at this flag of Corsica. A piece of history that the white colonizers couldent totally destroy. It shows the original inhabitants

Wow what a statement. These are Moorish Islamic invaders. The story is too long to explain here. But you are a nutcase. If you really teach, you need to be fired.

Thats what the whites want you to believe but its stolen land and made up history. It started when Black julius Caesar built the pyramids and whites got jealous

Which one of you dramatards this account belongs to? You're doing great

Remember dramatards, this is the stance to adopt. Everytime, all the time

Tumblr celebrates too!

Anyways, we beat our peepees in a circle, laughing at rightoids, and ers. But I assume most of you can't name at best more than five roman emperors, a few more if you hang in those neurodivergent trad circles. But surely none of you ever heard of that Elagabalus fella. Well it's pretty explainable why, so let's go back to school, swallow a couple pills of adderall and open some dusty-ahh history books and learn about Elagabalus. For this, I'll use another Tumblr thread, entirely screencapped for your convenience so you don't have to browse your way to the Heck that this crusty shithole of a website is:

It beings with OP pooping and crying that /ourpreciousbean/ is finally given the proper pronouns and hundreds of other s pissing and crying too:

But who was Elagabalus?

Now, while many transbeans are busy clapping too out of joy and representation, but a few skeptics who actually listened to History Class back in Middle School instead of being asocial losers obsessed with Tohou and Lucky Star start asking unwelcome questions

Here, Tumblr scholar Gservator summarizes Elagabalus pedigree better than I can:

No, however he was one of the worst Emperors of Rome.

Elagabalus took the throne at the age of 14, he brought with him a conical black stone, which he declared was the earthly form of the sun god El-Gabal, who gave Elagabalus his name, and lifelong office as high priest.

He shoved the Roman lead God Jupiter aside, and did the unthinkable, he installed El-Gabal at the head of the Roman pantheon, and married a vestal virgin.

Oh yes, to take the throne, he committed treason, revolting against Emperor Macrinus, overthrowing him, and murdered Macrinus' nine year old son Marcus Ophelius Diadumenianus.

Elagabalus was also persuaded to believe that wrong was right. It would have been very hard for a child of 14, or 12 in one account, to see the flaws in the arguments presented by those he believed his allies.

He also allegedly committed the human sacrifice of children.

If true, Elagabalus was certainly one of the more abhorrent Emperors.

He forced leading members of Rome's government to participate in religious rites celebrating his deity, presiding over them in person.

He married four women, other than the Vestal Virgin, in addition to lavishing favors on male courtiers thought to have been his lovers.

He was also reported to have prostituted himself, and had his guard find men with the largest peepeees to give them government jobs, and would hold contests with them to see who could whore themselves out the most.

His behavior estranged the Praetorian Guard, the Senate and the common people alike, so much so, that despite him being the illegitimate son of the Emperor prior to Macrinus, they assassinated him at the age of 19 and replaced him with his cousin.

Elagabalus developed a reputation among his contemporaries for extreme eccentricity, decadence, zealotry and sexual promiscuity, he was no tyrant, he was worse, he was an incompetent Emperor, one prone to zealotry and eccentricity.

So sure, if you people want to claim one of Rome's greatest failures as your own, go ahead, I won't stop you.

In conclusion

Elagabalus was an absolute failure of an emperor. A dipshit teenager elevated to supreme power, which he used to be absolutely debauched, even by roman standards. A guy so insufferable that his own guys whacked him, 4 years into his reign, at the ripe age of 19. Too inneficient to be remembered positively, and not even bloodthirsty enough to be remember as a menace like the more unhinged roman emperors. He failed on all scores, and ended up being an anecdote among the giant list of other short-lived, incompetent and quickly ridden emperors.

One of the few chronicles we have is about himm is from some guy called Cassius Dio, who claims that Elagabalus was 'termed wife, mistress & queen', told one lover & 'Call me not Lord, for I am a Lady'. But most historians believe the accounts were simply a character assassination as he was reputed to be as tyrannical as Caligula & Nero. But a couple of millenial losers in charge of a 3 rooms-sized museum in rural England decided to twist that libel&slander into praise, and unearthed this long-forgotten failboy to place his cadaver on a parade throne and drag him down the street!

Diversity wins! This laughable historical figure was trans-coded!

Elagabalus: Being a male feminist, body shamer, abusive person of power and a torturer and killed many innocent children along with being a religious fundamentalist and hating the poor

Transgender community: omg it's literally me!

TLDR: The main-linked thread to /r/Flying is the most interesting, so if you don't wanna go through every link, at least read through that. xx

________________________________________________________

This accident was initially and briefly covered here on rDrama when the incident occurred. It's been just over a month since this incident occurred, and significant details have come to light that make for good reading. I'm also going to put a disclaimer here that my knowledge of aviation is limited to ~35 mins flying a DJI Mavic drone and a couple of hours in MS Flight Sim.

Background

TNFlyGirl, real name Jenny Blalock, was a 45yo white woman who ran the most white-woman business possible - converting timber from old tobacco farm barns into floorboards. She also ran a high-end custom house-building company, Luxe Home & Designs. I haven't been able to find any indication of her net worth, and whether she was "self-made" or her parents were well-off (her father owned a plumbing supply business), but she was obviously doing well enough to learn to fly and buy herself a plane.

In addition to her businesses, she ran a YouTube channel TNFlyGirl. At the time of her death, she had 16k subscribers (she's gained 5k since her death, which makes her dying the best thing that's happened to her channel). Her channel was a 'warts-and-all' aviation channel that she was using to document her journey, not shying away from showing the hiccups and struggles she was having along the way. While her aviation videos remained on her channel for a time after the accident, they have since been removed / delisted.

In May 2022, she passed her private pilot exam, and then in July 2022, she traded her Piper for a Beechcraft. This appears to be significant, as lots of comments made after her death are to the effect of "too much plane for her".

On December 7th, 2023, while en route from Knoxville, TN to Benton, AR, she and her father were both killed when the plane crashed near Pulaski, TN. A witness reported that the plane was traveling at high speed and that the engine was running at the time of impact(read: not engine failure). The weather was described as "clear, with 10 miles visibility and light winds". The NTSB also reported that two intact digital video recording devices (likely GoPros) were recovered and retained for further examination.

Initial Reddit Thread

Let's go back to the original r/Flying thread that @peepeehands linked:

TNFlyGirl crash

This kind of accident terrifies me as a student pilot. Has anyone looked into flight tracking or anything to see if there are any initial details? I read that she reported I think alternator or battery issues like a week before, maybe repeated?

edit: I don't have a dog in this fight, I don't subscribe to her channel and had never heard of her before this accident. But man, what's up with the impulse to immediately sh1t on her piloting skills and dismiss her as a reckless YouTuber who somehow had it coming? I was asking a simple question about how a plane can fall from the sky in clear VFR conditions. Thank you to those that took the time to answer that.

For everyone else, thank you for teaching by example. I now definitely know what kind of pilot I want to be when it comes to accident reviews.

This is the earliest Reddit thread on the incident. The top comments seem to indicate that this might be a result of pilot error:

I don't know a single thing about that accident, but I watched a couple of her recent videos and - not sure how to put this tastefully - 400 hours and a youtube channel does not mean someone is a good example to follow. As a student pilot you should realize there is a risk and you can die doing this, which is why you need to hold yourself to a high standard and make sure you know what you're doing.

What did she do wrong in her vids? Elaborate so we can understand better

I just started analyzing some of her videos last night. In one of the few remaining videos still up, I was able to point out several red flags in her flying. These included..

Taking off left of centerline.

Retracting gear with usable runway remaining.

Tinkering in the cockpit with knobs and switches while in the climb out (should be looking out the window if VFR)

Very poor atc calls for a 400 hour pilot.

Flew a straight in approach to a non towered field while traffic was in the pattern. Highly frowned upon!!

Made a base turn without ever visually identifying traffic that was on a final approach. While it didn't result in anything happening, you should never turn onto final if you know someone's on final approach and do not see them. Recipe for disaster. Her situational awareness and ability to spot traffic was poor at best.

Little to no crosswind corrections on landing.

Landed well right of centerline and side loaded the heck out of the landing.

In her next takeoff roll (same video), she added no croww

Another person comes in to decry the callous nature of the thread

Anyone mocking a GA pilot's accident should be fricking banned. That shits despicable…

Only for someone to post this reply:

In her grumpy ATC Controller video, she mocks the controller who has queried her multiple times about being off course to her instructor “I'm still tickled bout that- ‘having problems with your autopilot?' hahaha I don't know why I think that's funny”

If she were alive she'd be mocking herself.

5:30.

link to since-deleted video on her channel

This comment touches on what the current (Jan 2024. suspected cause of the accident is, issues with her understanding of the autopilot and it's impact on trim:

It's hard to go back and watch the videos of her struggling with the autopilot for a year, knowing it's not up-to-snuff but still handing control of her aircraft over to it repeatedly. I wonder if she ever brought an avionics expert up in the right seat or considered marking it inoperable. She says she's receiving training from her father but it's not clear what certificates he has or who pilot-in-command is, and he falls asleep in the right seat occasionally. I look forward to reading the NTSB report to get some non-armchair opinions but I think it's going to come down to a combination of ADM and won't be very satisfying, like reading "the proximate cause was failure to use checklists".

Of course, there's always one scrote to blame her looks:

"Beautiful woman [or man] syndrome." My son, a former CFI, saw people like Jenny in his work. It's a serious analysis of someone who has reached adulthood thinking they're way more talented, charming, smart, or funny than they are because people always tell them that so they can be around them. He had to tell a very attractive woman he wouldn't continue training her (when he really needed students) because she just wasn't getting it. She would've ended up like Jenny, and he might have been in the right seat.

It might explain why Jenny got so overconfident that she bought a Beech when she should've bought a 172 - or quit flying. Too bad someone didn't tell her.

Sad tale.

YouTube Experts Discuss

Several days later, YouTuber Juan Browne of the blancolirio channel posted this 21-min video criticizing her flight instructor(s) and putting forward his hypothesis that the pilot's misunderstanding of her autopilot system was to blame for the accident. It's a good watch, but you can skip to 13:59 for the key analysis.

A week later, he released a follow-up video based on the NTSB's preliminary report into the accident.

His first video spawned the following thread with some mildly interesting comments:

TNFlyGirl crash: NTSB Preliminary Report

First want to say condolences to her and her father's loved ones. A tragic accident all around.

The preliminary report is here: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/193491/pdf

Video by blancolirio talking about it:

There didn't seem to be any structural failure or stall/spin. Prelim suggests loss of control of the aircraft.

Likely lots of factors well before this singular flight led up to this accident, it's sad that she seemed to be enthusiastic about flying and learning and maybe just didn't have the appropriate support and instruction. Not for me to say though. Thinking of her family and friends.

As is often the case with niche, more specialised subs, a blunt truth is upmarseyd to the top:

It's really hard to forgive a grown butt adult for not recognizing how far out of their element they operated consistently. Downmarsey away, aviation isn't for everyone.

More commentary on her abilities:

From the report: 140 nautical miles into the trip, the controller advised the pilot that she was left of course. The pilot acknowledged and responded that she was correcting.

Based on the Latitude, Longitude in the report, the crash was about 17 miles south of a direct route from KDKX to KSUZ. If she was flying direct, that is pretty far off course.

And those wild oscillations from the report: About 1019, the airplane entered the first of a series of climbs and descents with corresponding fluctuations in its observed groundspeed. During these oscillations, which varied in magnitude, the airplane's altitude varied between about 6,400 ft and about 5,300 ft. About 1057, the airplane entered a descent that arrested about 4,300 ft at a groundspeed of 143 kts, after which it climbed to 6,050 ft and slowed to 85 kts. The airplane then began to descend rapidly before ADS-B contact was lost

It looks like she was totally out of control.

Seems like in every one of her recent videos, she was "correcting" in response to ATC. In one of them she was annoyed with how many times the controller told her she wasn't on course.

Holy crap. The very first one I watched, she had her dad flying after he clearly said “I can't see the screens” when she told him to hold an altitude and heading while she drank her water and relaxed. She announced her position wrong (slightly but noticeably) and she darn near didn't make the landing due to being off centerline.

This is as sad as it gets. Someone with the zeal for aviation gets shit instruction (watch her other videos, you can see how heavy handed her CFIs are) and dies as a result.

Yeah in the first video that I watched, while on short final she started trimming the wrong direction when her CFI said to trim nose down, got flustered and says “ah shit”, he responds “that's alright I got it”, and they continue to land. That is not an inconsequential mixup for a PPL and indicates a problem that needs addressing, so to see a CFI treat it so nonchalant was really disappointing.

Regardless of what caused this accident, her instructors failed her. I'm sure the two onboard cameras will sled more light for the final report but it sadly seems like the writing was on the wall. RIP to both souls.

Feel so bad for the family. Someone has some explaining to do as sadly she was operating well beyond her capabilities but didn't know. At least that's my take after watching Juan.

Her videos, many of which have been since deleted, are pretty eye opening. She lacked even the most basic of skills such as handling the airplane and using the radio at the same time. She was also utterly confused by her auto pilot system which she seemed to rely on to compensate for her lack of hand flying skills.

She was so behind the airplane, every video I saw of her flying

Based on her videos, she was a tragic accident waiting to happen. Way behind that airplane constantly. I can totally see how she could have ended up with a bunch of nose down trim on AP, disconnect it and get going too fast to correct it with back pressure alone.

She had her camera's so I guess we will find out...

It's super sad that at no point did any of her CFIs or DPEs catch this and help her correct being so behind that aircraft.

And finally, a downmarseyd comment suggesting that the fact that she was a Southerner contributed to her accident, which leads to some bickering:

Please feel free to take offense and call me a dirty yankee, but could southernness be some part of the problem here? I haven't seen any of her videos in full, but if I understand the situation, she was a well-off, relatively attractive woman.

From what's described here, and clips in other videos, her CFIs didn't make it clear that she didn't know what she was doing. One specifically was doing everything for her to such a degree that viewers pointed it out and she sought out a new CFI. Somehow a DPE passed her and gave her a PPL despite people here describing that she didn't understand that you need to add power to climb and which way to turn the trim wheel.

Was a little bit of this "southern gentlemen" on one hand being too polite and on the other perhaps having lower expectations of a well-off woman hobbyist than they would a man they thought was on track to the airlines?

edit: I see some downmarseys. Evidently my slander is unworthy of a substantive response.

Pilots Discuss

There was also this post on an old-school Professional Pilots forum:

https://www.pprune.org/accidents-close-calls/656333-tnflygirl-crash-analysis.html

________________________________________________________

Finally, it wouldn't be an rDrama thread without actual, unpleasant friction between people - and for that, we head over to her Instagram page, where people are going at it about her piloting skills, and 'disrespecting the deceased':

Profile: 865flygirl

Notable post - a photo of her plane taken less than a week before her accident:

The lack of emotional intelligence in this thread is alarming! You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Your parents FAILED!

how? it's important to criticise accidental deaths so lessons can be learned and further lives saved.

well unless you were in the cockpit with her and you WERE NOT, you are only making assumptions and you know what they say about assumptions!

to be fair, she broadcast her thorough lack of basic aviation skills to the entire world to see in an attempt to garner views. While I've only seen a handful of said videos, her lack of basic skills was evident. What's happened is tragic. No one will dispute that. But it was also 100 percent avoidable. She looked and sounded VERY opposed to critique and many of her videos show an outright lack of regard towards instruction. That's what we call in the business a "hazardous attitude" and it's one of the first things new pilots learn about in ground school. I don't need to assume she was a poor pilot. She verified it with her content. So that's no assumption. The only assumption one can make at this point is what part of her hazardous flying actually brought that plane down. The ntsb will determine that, but based on early findings - it seems like a lack of understanding of the plane she was flying is going to be the root cause or at the very least - a contributing factor. "thoughts and prayers" dont change anything and when you spend so much time sharing content with the public, it's open for critique. I can guarantee that if she'd have spent as much time in her aviation studies as she did editing and posting YouTube and Instagram content for "likes", she'd still be alive today.

Also, you are pretty slimy lowdown scumbag dirt ball to be insulting a dead girl. That ranks right up there with kicking puppies and drowning kittens. Wouldn't be surprised if you have a background of playing with minors as well.

________________________________________________________

So there you have it. Really just a bunch of conjecture and educated guesses, but until the footage is released of her piloting herself and her father into the ground, that's all we've got.

The Scorpions were a highly specialized anti-corruption crime-fighting unit of RSA which operated under the Mbeki Administration. They could closest be described as the South African FBI, but specifically specialized as an anti-corruption unit.

They technically existed as a unit during the NP Regime, pre democratization of SA, but existed as an anti-espionage unit in the 1980s, to determine any communist sympathisers.

The Scorpions, or Directorate of Special Operations (DSO) as they were officially known, worked for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the agency of the South African Government responsible for state prosecutions. Basically they were established by President Mbeki in 1998 as an official crime-fighting unit , whom wanted to convert the very useful talent in the Directorate of Special Operations, but wanted to wash away the connections to Apartheid, thus the rebranding to the Scorpions.

By 1998, even Mbeki had already recognized the widespread corruption infesting national, provincial and municipal governments in SA due to the rapid change of regime through nepotism instead of meritocracy. The Scorpions were created (rebranded), and unleased to cull corruption within the fledgling democratic state.

SCORPIONS SUCCESSFUL:

https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/scorpions-will-target-organised-crime-10792

By the time the Scorpions were disbanded in 2009, their taskforce numbered at 526 individuals. The Scorpions held very high levels of operation

power, and could basically investigate any individual or politician in the country.

It came to focus on such crimes as drug trafficking; white-collar crime in government and the private sector, especially organised corruption and serious and complex financial crime; and money laundering and racketeering.

The Scorpions were VERY successful, having obtained a conviction rate of over 90%. By February 2004, they had completed 653 cases, comprising 273 investigations and 380 prosecutions. 349 prosecutions resulted in convictions, representing an average conviction rate of 93.1%. Between 2005 and 2007, they initiated 368 investigations, completed 264, and prosecuted 214, with a conviction rate of 85%; during that period they also seized R1 billion in assets and contraband worth R1 billion.

SCORPIONS GROW UNPOPULAR:

By 2006 this tiny crime-fighting unit demonstrated stunning success after success, they were locking up white-collar criminals one after the other, and they held widespread popularity amongst the SA public due to their cleaning up corruption in the SA financial sector.

However, their shining so bright also made them unpopular amongst their contemporaries. Basically it boiled down to the Scorpions made the increasingly corrupt and inept SAPS (South African Police Service) look very bad in comparison. By 2006, crime and theft had increased drasitically 12 years after democratization, and the nepotism of the SAPS had its toll on the competency of the police force, effectively the Scorpions was the lone fricking arm in the whole nation of 45 million fricking people doing its job

Additionally there was also a racial element to the friction between SAPS high command, and the Scorpions. The Scorpions was commanded by majority white men, while by 2005, pretty much 100% of the nation's municipal Police departments were commandeered by black or coloured officers.

https://journals.assaf.org.za/index.php/sacq/article/view/953

Supposedly the strained relationship between SAPS and the Scorpions was the lack of communication between the Scorpions and SAPS High Command, in that Scorpions would continiously overstep over SAPS's jurisdiction when it came to arresting or investigating specific targets, and that they held far too much power in their ability to overrule any constraint or red-r*pe, which SAPS claimed the Scorpions abused.

But trust me, ALLLL of us listening to this bullshit at the ground level on the radio, knew these were petty and spiteful complaints, and that the SAPS complaints against the Scorpions were either, racially motivated, jealousy because the Scorpions were demonstrating just how shit the SAPS had become by being excellent in comparison, or because the SAPS high officer ranks were nervous their corrupt friends were under pressure.

Regardless, in 2005-2006 Mbeki allowed a commission to review the goals and mandate of the DSO (Scorpions), and to determine if they held too much power. Many corrupt ANC officials supported this investigation/commission because they wanted to temper the Scorpion's power and reach.

""Common complaints were that the details of the Scorpions' investigations were frequently leaked to the public before prosecution had commenced; that the Scorpions abused their power in exercising search and seizure warrants (including in the Zuma investigation, in which the ANC said that they had displayed "Hollywood tactics"); that they pursued selective and politically motivated prosecutions; and that they did not work well with the South African Police Service (SAPS).""

Mbeki formed what was known as the "Khampepe Commission" which basically investigated whether the Scorpions should continue as they were or not.

Long boring story short, Mbeki basically turbo cucked the corrupt ANC officials by saying essentially "Nope, Scorpions can continue to go as they were"

This made the ANC officials who had wanted to use the Khampepe Commission to restrict the Scorpion's power go full and was one of the reasons why Mbeki would lose favour amongst his previous ANC internal allies.

ZUMA vs MBEKI:

https://rdrama.net/post/203575/marseyflagsouthafrica-jacob-zuma-rpe-trial-and

I made a longpost a few months ago about how Zuma would enter the SA public consciousness due to his famous r*pe trial, and how he eventually would oust Mbeki as president of the ANC party, and become eventual president of the country of South Africa.

In case you guys forgot, in South Africa we do not vote for a President or presidential admin in the way the yanks do, instead we vote for political parties, and those parties in turn decide amongst themselves whom shall lead them, usually prior to each election. The ANC would have their 5-year congress to decide their leader every 5 years, along with decisions what policies the party were to follow (which is where the African National Congress name came from).

And fatefully that December 2007 in an upheaval, the far more radical and leftwing Zuma would oust the more neoliberal-oriented Mbeki as ANC-president.

And guess what!? A key part of Zuma's platform was the disbanding of the Scorpions, a very popular notion amongst his political supporters! The extraordinary thing was that average black people on the ground level approved of the Scorpions and their anti-corruption work! But it was the ANC-elite political class which supported Zuma's platform to disband the Scorpions, yet because of wingcuckery ANC supporters would not make even a blip of a sound in protest to this fragrantly obviously self-servingly corrupt move!

Like you guys need to understand what a shitshow this moment was in RSA politics. Mbeki had his failings as a leader, and his weakness to not prosecute nepotism and incompetence in his goverment nationwide, BUT ZUMA was a whole other level of insidious corruption!

The decision of disbanding the Scorpions was controversial, and it was opposed by a majority of South Africans

https://mg.co.za/article/2008-02-10-battle-over-future-of-the-scorpions

"The Inkatha Freedom Party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), the African Christian Democratic Party, the Independent Democrats, the United Democratic Movement, and the Congress of the People all expressed extreme dismay over the decision, and the DA was prominent in accusing the ANC of making the move in order to subvert investigations into corrupt ANC officials."

https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/scorpions-support-grows-401317

"However, because the ANC had a supermajority in Parliament, opposition parties had little legislative recourse to oppose the amendments. Mbeki, still the national President though no longer the ANC President, also reportedly fought to keep the Scorpions intact."

https://mg.co.za/article/2008-02-14-zille-takes-scorpions-battle-to-zuma

====(from article)

Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille is to request a meeting with African National Congress president Jacob Zuma to discuss the future of the Scorpions, she said on Thursday.

Zille told the Platform for Public Deliberation at the University of the Witwatersrand: ”I intend to put this challenge to him. I will write to Mr Zuma and request an urgent meeting to state unambiguously the disastrous consequences that disbanding the Scorpions will have for South Africa. yeah cuz he sure as shit will listen

NEWSPAPER REACTIONS AT THE TIME:

‘Is this the true heart of the ANC?'

Newspaper editorials condemned the move.

Business Daywrote: ”Without advancing a single coherent argument, the ruling party not only decides to get rid of a vanguard force in the fight against organised crime and corruption, it announces it to the world as a fact, as though Parliament simply does not exist.

”Is this the true heart of the ANC? Is this the essence of the movement we danced in the streets for in 1994?”

The Citizen wrote that by making the announcement on Wednesday, Nqakula considered it ”already done and dusted, forgetting the small detail of the move having to be approved by Parliament”. ”The crime-fighting unit was created by an Act of Parliament and must be disbanded by majority vote.”

The editorial continued: ”So much for accountability by government, so much for oversight by those chosen to serve the interests of the people. And so much for consideration of the disapproval of many South Africans.” ”… The burning question is why would the ANC leadership want to disband the very unit it created, and which it now fears because of its success? How many more worms will be concealed in the woodwork with the Scorpions gone?”

Beeld said that because the Scorpions were brought to life by Parliament, it was therefore Parliament's job to dissolve them, not Nqakula's. ”The minister's actions strengthen the perception that South Africa is now governed out of Luthuli House in Johannesburg — the seat of the ANC president [Jacob Zuma] — and not out of the Union Buildings in Pretoria, the seat of the president [Thabo Mbeki].

Beeld continued that it was the Zuma faction within the ANC that want to take the sting out of the Scorpions who had brought Zuma to court [for a forthcoming fraud and corruption trial].

====(END ARTICLE)

DISBANDING:

"The ANC's 52nd National Conference held in Polokwane in 2007 was a watershed moment. Jacob Zuma's ascension as party president was a clear indication of shifting power dynamics. The conference's resolution to disband the Scorpions can be seen in this context; Zuma and his allies consolidated power, and the unit's dissolution was part of this consolidation. On 23 October 2008, the National Assembly passed both amendments by a vote of 252 in favour and 63 opposed."

"The Scorpions' disbandment has often been interpreted as a mechanism to protect powerful politicians from scrutiny, particularly as the elite crime-fighting unit had previously pursued some of South Africa's most influential figures. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), which the Scorpions were part of, seemed to be gaining too much momentum in challenging political corruption. South Africa, during this period, witnessed a growing narrative of corruption, especially within its political class. State Capture, a term that became synonymous with the Zuma presidency, reflected a broader problem of systemic corruption. The Scorpions, with their track record, were naturally positioned to challenge this status quo. Their removal was therefore viewed as part of a larger tapestry of efforts to safeguard corrupt practices at the highest echelons of power. "

https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7685927.stm

"The Scorpions unit has shaken South Africa's political landscape in the last few years, probing and arresting several prominent politicians, our correspondent says. But observers say the unit, formally known as the Directorate of Special Operations, pushed its luck too far when it pressed corruption charges Mr Zuma. That case was at the centre of a power struggle between Mr Zuma and Thabo Mbeki, with Mr Zuma's allies accusing Mr Mbeki's supporters of using the Scorpions to stop his rival gaining power."

This article has the single best summary.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/feb/12/southafrica.internationalcrime

====(FROM ARTICLE)

The elite South African anti-crime unit that targeted the new African National Congress leader, Jacob Zuma, in a corruption investigation is to be disbanded.

The party claims the FBI-style force known as the Scorpions employed "Hollywood tactics" against Zuma when raiding several of his and his lawyer's properties in 2005.

Zuma, who deafeated the country's president, Thabo Mbeki, for the ANC leadership, is due to stand trial later this year charged with bribery, fraud, racketeering, money-laundering and tax evasion. It is not clear how the disbandment will affect the trial.

The security minister, Charles Nqakula, announced the decision to parliament today. To cheers from ANC deputies, he said: "The Scorpions will be dissolved and the organised crime unit of the police will be phased out and a new amalgamated unit created."

The Scorpions represents the investigation arm of the national prosecuting authority. However, police view the unit as invading its jurisdiction.

At December's ANC conference, which elected Zuma as leader, delegates voted to scrap the unit amid claims it had tried to smear Zuma and deny him the leadership.

The move is interpreted as a sign of renewed infighting between Mbeki and Zuma factions. Mbeki, who established the Scorpions in 1999, is due to hand over power next year, depending on the outcome of Zuma's trial.

Outraged opposition deputies branded the disbandment as an ANC attempt to control over parliament and President Mbeki.

"This announcement once again shows that the country is now run, not by parliament, but by those few in Luthuli House [ANC headquarters]," said Dianne Kohler Barnard, spokeswoman for the Democratic Alliance.

The Scorpions also led the inquiry into South Africa's police chief and head of Interpol, Jackie Selebi, who has been charged with corruption for accepting bribes from a convicted drug trafficker in return for protecting drug shipments, passing on secret reports from the UK and interfering with a murder inquiry.

Although the disbandment must be still be ratified by parliament, given the ANC's domination, the move seems inevitable.

ATTEMPT TO SAVE SCORPIONS:

https://www.npr.org/2008/06/11/91359321/south-africas-fbi-falls-victim-to-politics

===(from NPR article)

Public support for the Scorpions is still high. Johannesburg businessman Hugh Glenister is working through the court system in an effort to save the unit. He has also collected at least 45,000 signatures through a Web site created in support of the Scorpions. Glenister says that disbanding the crime unit is the beginning of a slippery slope.

"Once we've taken out the Scorpions, what next?" Glenister says. "The Scorpions is the last guardian of the public, really, between greedy politicians and the public."

Amid the turmoil, some Scorpions have begun leaving the unit. Some observers predict members will disband the unit themselves before any official move, leaving the future of their cases and investigations uncertain.

Anyways that's all I got

I did not write this, someone else wrote this, I am just reposting this because I found it funny.

taken from: https://rentry.co/blackdva

Disclaimer: I am not a part either of the Bleached or Blacked communities, while that may benefit me in terms of neutrality and bias, it also means I am an outsider without full knowledge of this community and am likely to be prone to misconceptions and false information. This was also published in 2021 so the drama might have progressed or slided into irrelevancy.

For further context:

Read this first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_sexuality#Racial_fetishism

On 4chan there is a hidden board for off topic threads, /trash/, which has basically devolved into /vg/ but for specific fetishes and also a de-facto furry board since none of the other boards allow furry porn.

A quick guide to the terminology: Bleached = nonwhite women (or men) being fucked by white men, often accompanied by a queen of hearts (QoH) symbol, Blacked = nonblack women (or men) being fucked by black men, often accompanied with a queen of spades (QoS) symbol, Findom = financial domination, men being sexually aroused by donating money, often in a bdsm context.

Also some of the links have been changed because wakarimasen is dead

Now onto the actual text:

D.Va or Hana is the former owner of the Bleachbooru as well as the its precursor the qohbooru, she has been an integral part of the bleached community since its infancy back in 2018, she is an alleged female of chinese descent, she probably also has some added korean admixture (northern china/shenyang area?)

She has used multiple names over her online career, 'D.Va', 'Hana', 'Her', 'Empress' and the list goes on, for convenience I will only refer to her as 'Hana', Hana derives from "Hana Song" the real name of the Korean Overwatch character known as D.Va.

Before going deeper Lets lay down some facts that are widely known about her:

• She is really into raceplay.

• She loves female overwatch characters and especially D.va.

• She loves the World of Warcraft universe. Elfs, draenei and raceplay involving orcs.

• She loves League of Legends and its female champions, mostly the K/DA crew but others too.

• She is Hyper-online, she used to run the discord servers and the booru, she also spends a lot of time ERPing on discord, she writes a ton of smut literature she even does raceplay edits.

• Another thing she does online is findomming, she is very well known in the 4chan/trash community as the 'based D.Va findomme'

• Lastly, she is into hololive streamers.

Anyone that has been around Hana for any significant amount of time can confirm all of the points above.

I will proceed by presenting publicly accessible information involving Hana and her presence online, I will attempt to build a better picture of her online activities and I will ultimately attempt to prove her connections to /BLACKED/

Section 1: Orced

source: her orced discord server

Sometime during the end of last year Hana decided that /BLEACHED/ was too vanilla for her (pun indented) and so she moved to greener pastures (pun intended) by creating /Orced/.

She single-handedly edited a ton of Orced content but this project ended up going nowhere... thank god there aren't enough WoW rottbrain burn-outs to sustain such stupid fetish.

Case you haven't noticed this is basically /blacked/ covered with chlorophyll, she was still running /Bleached/ at the time and the drama that ensued because of this lead to Hana stepping down as the owner of Bleachbooru sometime during mid to late January.

Do note the extreme skull fucking and other sick shit she is into, the discord server for /orced/ is still up and you can access it here: https://discord.gg/a8q4WAbE6j, almost all of the content posted by 'deleted user' is Hana as she keeps getting banned every week, more on that bellow.

Section 2: Discord

update

he has since got a couple more discord accounts banned, and the ones listed here have been purged.

Those are her last two public discord accounts, the left, (draenei) got nuked thanks to /beta/chads reporting her, she has also been banned countless of times by discord over the span of one year.

I allege that she keeps getting all her accounts banned because she is incapable of stopping herself from ERPing about CSAM, beastiality and gore on DMs, I am also sure she has some secret accounts too.

The account proceeding those two was Her#1922, she also had an account called Empress#1921 and Control#1921, more on that later. Notice how 1921 was the year when the communist party of China was founded, Hana is known to be an un-ironic ChiCom shill.

Important things to take note of are the servers she is in, namely she is in holo-Loli streamer discord servers, her draenei account (left) will be pruned soon because it got banned so if you want to verify this is not html editing you can simply send her a friend request and then check your mutual servers, otherwise, here is the 'join message' link for the gura's server: https://discord.com/channels/753096184255479860/753096184956190734/822218230801760257

To check this message you need to first join the gura's server https://discord.com/invite/shaak

Also do note the date of her joining was march 18.

Finally note that she writes smut using the service known as write.as it contains typical /bleached/ content and other stuff she is into, you can check it out here https://write.as/notdva.

Other activities of hers in discord are findomming dudes and erping with members of the community, if you are a female member of the bleached community then you probably have lewded with her at some point, her most recent rp character was a draenei from WoW, she plays as female draenei or futa draenei with a horse dick, I guess she now jumped to Stocking from PSG.

Section 3: Twitter

update

he has since deleted this account.

This is her twitter, https://x.com/WaifusBleached. She uses it to post her edits, she follows accounts like GB and fugtrup that pretty much only do blacked / hard NTR content, now this is not necessarily incriminating by itself as she might just be following for editing purposes but this also means she gets a ton of blacked content right on her timeline and she's ok with it.

Section 4: D.Va the findomme

Scratching the surface of her Findom shilling, source is here: https://desuarchve.org/_/search/text/Empress 1921

She basically hassles mentally ill people for money, mostly from /beta/ and /findom/ and other similar 4chan/trash threads, what makes Hana particularly cancerous and despicable is is that she goes out on /v/ and tries to entice random anons with bait threads.

Here are some example threads of hers on /v/, they are absolutely hers because the discord tag and the cashapp link is often contained, she obviously has done that a lot more but jannies actually stepped in and banned/deleted many of her threads, advertising is bannable.

/v/ Example 1

https://archived.moe/v/thread/551788049/#q551798468

In this thread we observe Hana creating a bait thread, then quickly posting racebait on her own thread, notice how the 4th (Reply 551789328) on that thread is a QoS tattoo edit that aims to create discourse, she will then proceed to do more same-fagging and advertise her services on discord. (Reply 551837228)

/v/ Example 2

https://archive.b4k.co/v/thread/531494319

Same story as example 1

She basically creates a bait thread, she then racebaits with spade tats as seen here 531495734 and here 531496585, then as always she magically appears on the reply 531497987 and she shills her findomming services, the only difference is that this thread got nuked/ignored, in this thread she mentions that she also uses Mercy as a findom muse.

/v/ Example 3

https://archived.moe/v/thread/533549440/#q533555260

Again, she posts about her findomming in thread that has an Overwatch /BLACKED/ edit as the OP image.

/v/ Example 4

https://archived.moe/v/thread/543152216/#543155913

Again, she makes a bait thread, but this time she uses a very high quality /BLEACHED/ edit as an OP image instead, the thread prob got jannied fast before she got the chance to shill, this is also true for thread https://archived.moe/v/thread/555524907

which if you skim through carefully you'll notice the same patterns and even the same files used in the posts above.

_Doj guy is a known user of the /beta/ and /findom/ threads in trash, file found on archive._

This goes on and on and I wont list every example from /v/ but I will instead post some instances from her home board of /trash/, as seen on the first image of this section she has an immense footprint.

/Trash/ Example 1

source: https://archived.moe/trash/thread/36066480/#36071722

We will kick things off with her making obvious insinuations that she is into blacked, this admission happened right about when she was giving away ownership of the booru and was the most angry and bittered with the /BLEACHED/ community and all the justified hate she was getting, perhaps some horniness and alcohol also played a role that night and she just let it slip, in any case, here it is, clear as day and very hard to deny.

/Trash/ Example 2

Here she starts a findom thread on trash, much like /v/ she does so so she can reserve the top post spots for better visibility and shilling... but something weird happened here, namely she posted her draenei character advert too, not only that, but both of those posts where posted concurrently at almost same second of the minute, which means she most likely posted them on different devices... which is really peculiar...

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/861956227674931201/864931469402832917/unknown.png

If you click view same on the draenei file you will find an anon with the same excact file asking for HRT money on another findom thread.

It is really too much of a coincidence since there's literally only 3-2 draenei findommes in /trash/ recorded history and she happens to have posted right about next to her undisputed personal findom ad.

Trash Misc Examples

There's a plethora of other trash threads and here are some highlights:

• https://archived.moe/trash/thread/38576071/#q38595759

Brags about /v/ baiting, and also denies liking blacked, yeah right....

• https://archived.moe/trash/thread/19219131/#q19258066

One of her first ever posts as bleached D.Va back in 2018, ah, so nostalgic <3.

• [too bored to find]

There was a thread where she said she doesn't really care about what kind of dick her finsub strokes too as long as he subs for her.

Section 5: Typeslut

source https:///desuarchive.org/trash/search/text/write.as/type/posts

This is where stuff gets really interesting, Remember that write.as Hana link listed on her profile? Well turns out not many people use that service, and even less people post links from that service on 4chan/trash.

So by simply searching for 'write.as' on the wakarimasen archive a very interesting individual known as typeslut emerges.

Source: https://write.as/typeslut

If you read her stories you can see that she appears to jump from fandom to fandom,

Bleached, LoL, WoW, Overwatch, holololi etc, it just so happens her interests perfectly intersect with the ones of Hana, such coincidence.

Now there's more, not many people use the word 'typeslut' either, so by looking it up we find someone linking to an f-list profile on the f-list trash thread during April 1

Hana is also known to be a prolific E-RPer and f-list user, but lets see what we got here…

Section 6: F-list

source https://www.f-list.net/c/watson amelia

First things first, before we dive into the Watson Amelia F-list character lets check the other two characters linked under the same account.

Invasion bait

https://www.f-list.net/c/invasion bait

Invasion bait is about a korean chaebol heiress getting brainwashed and corrupted into being a slut by foreigners/enemies, it features some hentai of really dark skinned males and even dog fucking.

Although she never mentions blacked explicitly she does mention Orced, in-fact she links to stories and hentai that contain skullfucking, guro and other forms of orced heavy content, stuff that Hana is also into.

Kaisa

LoL Kaisa is a minor account involving a clout-chasing and fame seeking idol, Hana also loves stuff like K/DA and similar fandoms involving power and limelight, this is a thing many trannies/females are into.

Amelia

Now onto Amelia, long story short, if you dig through her profile by expanding the 'case files' drawer you will see an interaction called Closed Case: The Five Pink Pips, she basically had a long ERP session with an f-list account that is a black dom that goes by the name 'black jacked' after that session was done, she compiled the erp logs and posted that story on her typeslut write.as account, you can find it here: https://write.as/typeslut/greatest-detective-amelia-watson-the-five-pink-pips

If you read through the story you'll notice that she purposefully omitted any references to her erp partner being black, you'll also notice how she power-bottomed throughout the story and overwhelmed her e-rp partner, something D.Va also likes as she was one of first people to write about the femdom blend of bleached known as 'genestealing'.

Bonus: Elsa

source https://www.f-list.net/c/unfrozen

Lastly, she has a 4rd character based on Elsa from Frozen, it is called 'unfrozen'.

using f-list character search to find chars with write.as/typeslut links

Although its is not connected to her main account it is absolutely hers as it shares similar themes and contains a 'write.as/typeslut' link.

This character's description has link to a story that has a straight-up BNWO theme and its about elsa letting her life and kingdom get taken over by blacks, you can find it listed under her typeslut account here:

https://write.as/typeslut/elsa-remaking-arendelle

It is her first story on that account and since it's the only blacked story she has, it leads me to believe she really just forgot to delete it.

Section 7: HoloLoli

source https://bleachbooru.org/post?tags=user:hana+hololive

Now everyone kinda knows about D.Va and her liking for 2d streamers. You'd think her as a able-handed editor of /bleached/ she would have absolutely delivered quite a few edits involving holololis… but nope… if you go on the bleachbooru and search for hololive and filter 'hana'as uploader you will only find a singular edit relating to 2d streamers.

But… hold on a minute, you know what kind of people like holololi?

Blacked-pedos do.

Well in-fact, guess who created an account on the blacked booru right about the same time typeslut was lewding with blacks on f-list and Hana was spamming hololi emotes on discord and joining holololi servers. (Mid to late March - Early April)?

source https://blacked.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=user:gozone

It is the user gozone that created their blacked booru account, a mysterious blacked editor that came in, posted their backlog of holololis including Watson Amelia and Gura and then mysteriously disappeared 2 weeks later.

Their account can be found here:https://blacked.booru.org/index.php?page=accountprofile&uname=gozone

I am not an editing expert but people can spot similarities in the style of editing between the two.

At first glance you can see both editors like editing teardrop tats under the eye, Hana is known to use them a lot, the latest instance being this post on her twitter https://x.com/WaifusBleached/status/1394558762254577668

Furthermore you will notice that although both of them are good at drawing Bezier curves, they both suck at 'healing'/'blending' and making sure the tattoo fits in nicely and is not too contrast-y.

You can always make your own evaluation but make sure you compare stuff from her twitter as those are the pieces she actually edited and not stuff she might have just uploaded, also do note that Hana's editing skills where not always as good as they are now, she kinda only started editing recently, also note that gozone was absolutely posting his backlog of edits that he could have kept stored for months before posting.

Section 8: Nail in the coffin

Now here is the final nail in the coffin: that gozone blackedbooru account links to a twitter account at www.twitter.com/g0_zone it is since set to private, but worry not, because internet does not forget.

Through yandex cache I found an archived snapshot of that account, and we can see its actually affiliated with other findomme skanks, now what's the coincidence?

Well those are too many coincidences, and although there is no point where she actually admits being into blacked all-along, its beyond evident that Hana of /Bleached/ is undeniably heavy into blacked and was playing into both fields since 2018.

I wont get into petty leaking of dm conversations or information she has entrusted me with, there is a good chance this document will only be read by her unless she desires it to be otherwise.

Edit:

She chose to put out everything

Hana expressing her views on the new booru management

Opinion on earl.

Opinion on the new server.

This is just us casually gossiping some time ago.

The B/BC D.Va is me and I am just using this name for trolling purposes.

She actually went back and deleted most of our messages in our convos, but its basically more bitterness and vindictiveness, talking about how much better her crew was etc...

Among her deleted statements was her admitting to have thought about doing blacked edits, and her admitting running secondary twitter accounts for erping and other stuff.

Here is her just now refusing a tête-à-tête Voice call with me on discord and then proceeding to allow me to post in public.

Update 1

Hana defending himself on my thread, source: https://archived.moe/trash/thread/40330658

Hana came in to defend himself on my exposé thread, he posted some mundane one-sided chat logs, but he forgot and used an obscure file hosting service called 'pomf.ca', this service is not really prevalent in /trash/ outside OPs and recurring, anchor-type replies.

Coincidently, our friend typeslut also uses the very same image hosting service to embed images on her stories, not only that, the notdva write.as account also uses the very same service to host images as seen in this story:

https://write.as/notdva/genestealers-ii

write.as caption from typeslut:

https://write.as/typeslut/greatest-detective-amelia-watson-caption

Update 2

D.va has gone from editing bleached to doing weird stuff like editing butcher lines on top of anime characters that imply there is some sort of cannibalism going about.

Here you can see him posting the butcher edit on the dft discord (Discord Fapping Together server) and then the same day going on trash and starting a thread where he unloads his collection while gloating on about how he got his finsubs to get into this depravity.

https://archived.moe/trash/thread/41083640/#q41083640

Greetings, I wanted to improve on these posts because I feel like they've been shit lately also I've been on drugs. I want to return to my old self and challenge myself with a worthwhile post that isn't a druggie rant or about vile moms or endless incel whining.

I think today we'll discuss the real-life SCP Foundation that existed - SAPS Occult Related Crimes Unit. In this instance, SAPS stands for South African Police Service. To understand this occult-fighting group, we'll need to delve into the Satanic panic, occultism in South Africa, and the everlasting power of witchcraft.

I'm also very depressed. I was assaulted all weekend with the sound of my neighbours having s*x. I don't know what I did to deserve this. I feel traumatized, like when you see gore by mistake.

On a more positive note, I'm one month into nofap (started 26 December). I hope there's light at the end of the tunnel because it's really dark right now. I've also ascended from poorcel to normiecel financially.

I hope you enjoy it, it's a sincerepost.

The Satanic Panic - An Overview

Satanic panics occur when a community believes witches or Satan himself is influencing people (usually women) on a large scale. The most popular example of this is the Salem witch hunts which, although having occurred in 1692, were fuelled by human flaws and traits that have been and still are prevalent in society. While it may be easy to disregard the events of the witch hunt and attribute it to simple ignorance, it represents a pattern of behavior that has endured in several forms.

During the Salem witch trials, several women in the community were put on trial due to claims of witchcraft. The escalation of the situation was brought along by fear, eventually leading to mass hysteria. Due to this mass hysteria, people were less likely to question the actions of authority, believing that everything was being done for the greater good. Unfortunately, it only led to the execution of several women instead.

Another important aspect of the witch trials is the shaming. You see, when one was put on trial, one had two choices: deny and die, or confess and face a lesser charge. If one was innocent, they would be forced to lie, admit to witchcraft, and tarnish their names to avoid execution.

What I'd like to stress is that the tragedy played out in the Salem witch trials is not an isolated incident of the past, but rather a representation of what happens when mass hysteria is left to escalate and a proper justice system is not in place. Although we may look at the citizens of Salem and see them as vile and wicked, they are no different than you and I.

My favorite text from the Satanic panic is Michelle Remembers. The book covers the experiences Michelle had as part of a Satanic cult as a child. The memories are recovered by her therapist Lawrence Pazder who she eventually marries.

The book is depraved. Not quite de Sade levels, but it's still pretty fricked up featuring cannibalism and mutilation. I was shocked at just how far it goes. I also like the different forms of Satan she depicts. A small request - can we raise the image upload limit to 30?

Today, it's widely believed that the memories were not real and that they were induced by Lawrence's therapy.

Sangomas - the African shaman

Various cultures around the world have had shamans or “medicine men” when people are facing physical and psychological problems. Typically, these figures have a connection to the realm of the ancestors or can offer spiritual aid.

In Southern Africa, sangomas play the role of the shaman within many Bantu tribes. As Gitte Postel explains, the sangoma is usually female, and “their core task is to communicate with the ancestors”. Like many other shamanic figures around the world, sangomas practice “divination and herbal treatments”, operate within a community of healers, and partake in rituals that involve “drumming, singing, and dancing as modes of interaction with ancestors and other spirits”.

The medicine used by Sangomas is known as muthi. It has an extremely sinister side. What the frick foids, you could have decided to use rare stones or leaves for your bullshit medicines but instead you chose the body parts of children as part of your healing rituals.

That was until three weeks ago, when 3-year-old Thabang Malakoane disappeared as his mother napped in their own shack next door. When his body was found, in a garbage bag under a thin layer of dirt, the left hand and genitals had been severed. The brain, heart and other vital organs were gone.

https://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/28/world/toddler-s-killing-exposes-ghoulish-south-africa-practice.html

A continuing social issue in South Africa is the prevalence of muti murders. Labuschagne defines a muthi murder as “a murder in which body parts are removed from a live victim for the sole purpose of using the victim's body parts medicinally. These body parts are then often mixed with other ingredients or used alone to make a medicine called muthi”.

It goes without saying, but this is fricked up. This muthi is also sold to those who have sinister intentions. Most commonly, it is given to hitmen and other villains to give them the confidence to commit their crimes. Once they have taken the medicine, the criminals feel invincible and have less fear of the law. It also makes them act more recklessly, as they believe they are protected.

An example is here at 4: 20

Satanic panic in South Africa

So, South Africa was swept by the same Satanic panic that had influenced the West in the 80s and 90s. Except it wasn't just kids in the woods. It was folks actually kidnapping 9-year-olds and using their hearts for rituals. Consequently, a task force was formed - the Occult Related Crimes Unit in 1992.

A big player in the move for a focus on the occult were psychologists who blamed several of society's ills The on Satan and his minions. The Satanic Bible was banned in 1993, and it seems the organization was still functional in 1993.

Satanism is linked to crime due to the common sacrificial religious practices that often leads to murder in order for members to be recognised in the cult.

https://www.gov.za/news/media-advisories/government-activities/community-safety-saps-occult-unit-engage-youth-issues

No, not alcohol, not drugs, not poverty. Satanism is behind South Africa's crime wave. The wave continues, with Satanism still seen as a societal ill. Unfortunately, the occult until isn't half as cool as SCP, and it appears to be more of a propaganda group.

Conclusion

So that's South Africa's occult unit. It seems it is necessary, as baby brains are being stolen.

I'm on antipsychotics and they make me feel like an emotionless zombie. I'm over a month over nofap, so my brain is trying to convince me to buy s*x. No, I'll just keep trying until something happens irl.

I also got braces and it hurts. No meds :(

Sorry for the short post, I can barely keep my eyes open. Paradoxically, I've also been hallucinating. Tune in next time for a full breakdown of the Pewdiepie event in New Zealand. Neighbors literally fricking I type this. I'll only have a middle-class house in November if I keep saving at this pace so psychological torture until then.

>just say something!

It's not the same people its a b&b. Plus I don't want to be this guy

just want somewhere to be a peaceful incel I'll never ascend because I'm worthless.

Voting ends at Noon EST 16th January, where the final winners will be locked in!

Hello again my lovelies, and much thanks for all your free upmarseys votes and nominations for the prestigious 2023 Drammy Awards! Alas, now that we've filtered out the crap that couldn't make the cut, it's now time to vote for which finalists deserve to take home these coveted digital trophies as thanks for their priceless contributions to our phresh niche gossip site.

The criteria for being chosen for the final round was as follows:

• The nomination was in the top 4 most voted nominations in its category

• If there were 4 or fewer nominations, then the top N-1 nominations go through instead

It's also worth noting that downmarseys were completely ignored in the final vote count, so while some thought they could be sneaky and sabotage the vote, I'm afraid you're gonna have to try a little harder next year. In addition, @Geralt_of_hKappa and his alts' votes were also disqualified from the Dramatard of the year award because of alt manipulation tactics, although ultimately it wouldn't have changed the outcome either way. (sad!)

The final winners will be decided by poll vote, in the pinned comments of this post - happy vooting, and good luck to everyone!

P.S. The marsey and OC awards got an award buff thanks to extra financing from head Capy, so the total payout is now $150,000 Mbux!

"The Road to Chad/Darfur" is a scam bait from 2005 against a Nigerian 419 (or "advance fee fraud") scammer, who went by "Barrister Koffi Kuku". AFF scammers are those scammers that inform you that you're owed some large sum of money, but you must first pay a solicitor's fee, transfer fee, clearance money, etc.

Unlike modern scam baiters, the man running this ampaign had greater aspirations than just to frick around with them for 30 minutes and make a YouTube video out of it. He donned the persona of Reverend Belcher: an aid worker on the Chad/Sudan border. The Chad/Sudan border has two important characteristics for this story: firstly, there are no banks. Secondly, Chad and Sudan were on the brink of war, due to Chadian rebel groups occupying the border.

Most of the exchange is from May 2006. Reverend Belcher convinces Barrister Koffi Kuku to come to the alleged refugee camp to collect the funds in person, as there are no banks nearby. Koffi Kuku sends the following email:

From koffi kuku Tue May 2 014224 2006

Dear rev,

I am comfortable with you as well and I hope every thing is going to work as schedule. You should expect my associates by next week so you have to give them security as much as you can and do not allow them to go out to the city with much cash unless for good reason.

Belcher promises a UN escort for Kuku's "associates". He also sweetens the deal somewhat, to ensure Kuku follows through:

Rev.

Just to be clear, your associates need to be aware of what they are picking up here. First, there is a locked briefcase. This is where the $145,000.00 is right now. I will also provide them with the key to the briefcase. There are also four boxes, each weighing about 7 kilos. They are not too big. A little bigger than a laptop computer. These boxes are for you to keep. There will also be some other mail that I hope that they can mail for me.

Barrister.

If I may ask, what is the content of the four boxes coming to me and what am I to do with it?

Rev.

Well, I wanted the four boxes to be a surprise but since you are not coming yourself, I guess that it is OK to tell you now. Each box contains an industrial laptop computer from Dell. The Dell corporation has been a huge monetary and material contributor to the people here at the camps. These industrial laptops are truely amazing. You can drop one off of the end of a table and it will work just fine. You could leave it out in the rain all night and it will work just fine. It is impervious to dust and heat. I am using one right now. Dell gave us 25 of these. I am giving you four of them. They are yours to keep and tokens of my appreciation for all of your help.

The Reverend also tries to learn the names of the associates, but is met with silence for a few days. Eventually, he gets a response from a new email address claiming to be one Fredrick Okonji, one of the associates.

Dear rev. Belcher,

My name is FREDRICK N. OKONJI. I and my colleague MR. WILLIAMS were sent by Mr. Kuku to come to Chad to receive the money from you. We will be coming on the 13th May 2006 and will briefly stop at Abuja to enable my colleague to pick up his International Passport from the Immigrations office where it was sent for renewal. This will not take more than 8hours.

We have with us the map which you sent to our boss and your telephone numbers as we hope to locate you with these materials.

You can inform our boss Mr. Kuku if there are any other thing that we need to know.

Thanks,

FREDRICK N. OKONJI

The trip is to take 4 to 5 days. Reverend Belcher informs them that money is not a concern: the associates need only take enough money for a one-way ticket, as he will finance their return journey.

Barrister.

How are you today? Mr. Okonji and Mr. Williams left yesterday to locate you at the camp to receive the money from you. They are in Abuja now.

The journey from Abuja may take them up to 3days to get to you. I hope that they make it in less than that.

Sir, you are expected to take care of their wellfare by showing them the best and secured route to follow since you know the development in that area.

Reverend.

Mr. Kuku,

Don't worry about a thing. I will take real good care of them. This will be a trip they will never forget.

I would still like photos of the two. Please send them today if you can. I need to update the UNHCR.

Unluckily for the scammer's associates, border security are the bigger fish.

I received a sad news from the boys this morning. They said that the boarder immigration officers of both Nigeria and Cameroon collected almost all the money they had in the pretence of giving them visas and yellow cards.

It seems that the associates are not quite as invested now, as they begin to learn the dangers of the area they're approaching. Perhaps they were slightly misled by their "boss"

From Fredrick Okonji Sun May 14 085136 2006

Dear Rev. Belcher,

Our boss has instructed me to write to you. I an sorry to tell you Mr. Williams is sick from all the travel. We need rest. We will come to receive the money from you when Mr. Williams is not sick. We recieved yellow cards from the immigration official here in chad. Our boss has sent us more money to complete our travel to you .I hope to be with you in two days.

I have fear about the security in the area you are in. I spoke to a man that said the area was highly insecured and that I have to be very sure of where I was going. He also informed me that armed robber seized one of the jeeps and held hostage all the occupants in the car.

Thanks,

Fredrick Okonji

The Reverend is sure to inform the boss that he is beginning to lose faith in the associates. But Barrister Kuku confirms that they will complete the task.

You should have confidence in the boys. I took time to select them because of their humility and the fear of God in them. Both of them were graduates of a minor seminary and have been trained to love God and humanity as well. I had to use these boys because of the confidence I have on them. They are God fearing and are well brought up. Their uncle has been my associates for six year and has been an honest person to deal with. They will complete the job. Please be patient with them and understand that it is long way from Lagos to your location.

He receives a response from Fredrick confirming that everything is well and going to plan.

I really would not want to wait or spend a night in this town again. The people here are very hostile and do not have respects for missionaries.

Belcher sends an email to Kuku with this lovely line

I just want to tell you again Mr. Kuku, how much I appreciate all that you are doing for me. In a day and age where I see so much corruption from people, it's nice to see that there are still people out there willing to help others. You are just such a man. I am sure that you will one day be rewarded for all of your life's good works.

The author now introduces a new character: Benjamin Boyd. Boyd explains to Kuku that Belcher has left the camp with the cash to go help a child who was injured in a recent border incident at Al Fashir. He also receives a phone call from UNHCR asking who he (Benjamin Boyd) is, and who "these men are here to see".

Things now begin to turn upside down for the would-be scammers.

From koffi kuku Wed May 17 093530 2006

Rev. Boyd,

I have tried calling the number that you have give me several times with no succes in talking to you. You need to call me urgently. The boys have been instructed how to get to Al Fashir but are afraid the plane will not wait long enough for them and leave them stranded. Please I beg you to call me at once. They are suffering. They had horrible experience following through the road from Njamena all through Abeche and complained to me how the police and other officials harrased and exploited them during their journey to Abeche. Please tell Rev. Belcher not to leave until they arrive where he is. The boys want to take the plane home and not drive back the road they just traveled. Did Rev. Belcher tell you if he had the laptop computers with him to? Please call me now at xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Fredrick is my friends nephew and he is worryed about his well being.

Barrister Koffi Kuku (Esq).

From Benjamin Boyd Wed May 17 095412 2006

From koffi kuku Wed May 17 122156 2006

Rev. Boyd,

I need you to call me urgently. The boys are going to go where Rev. Belcher is and receieve the money from him and take the plane to Nigeria .They do not want to drive back through the same way. They were requested to pay C 30,000 cifer each to continue to the border. I am worry because Sudan is a war zone. I want to know once they arrive with Rev. Belcher. The boys should be there tomorrow.

Please call me at xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Barrister Koffi Kuku (Esq).

From Benjamin Boyd Wed May 17 123618 2006

Dear Mr. Kuku,

I think that your associates have made a good decision. The road to Al Fashir is quiet and peaceful. The trouble that has occurred lately in West Darfur has all been 300 or more kilometers North, close to me.

I will forward this message immediately to Rev. Belcher. I did not know that Rev. Belcher had money for you. Thank you for sharing. Don't worry. Your business is safe with me.

I will continue to try calling you. Hopefully, I will get through one of these times.

Yours in the Lord,

Rev. Benjamin Boyd

The author notes here that, during this time, West Darfur (where Al Fashir is located) is incredibly dangerous. There were ongoing genocides. https://maps.lib.utexas.edu/maps/africa/darfur_villages_0802_2004.jpg

"The boys" manage to acquire a car to drive to the final destination. Boyd continues to downplay the situation, making excuses for not being able to call the scammer.

From koffi kuku Thu May 18 112503 2006

Rev. Boyd,

Dear Mr. Kuku,

I totally understand your concern and I am trying my hardest to contact you by phone. Things do not always work the way you want all the time, especially complicated telecommunications equipment. We're dealing with satellite technology that is a bit out of my control here.

I will talk to some of the people around here about getting someone from Abeche, Farchana or Adre to drive on over and see what the story is. Maybe they just ran out of gas or something.

Yours in the Lord,

Rev. Benjamin Boyd

From Benjamin Boyd Thu May 18 135310 2006

Dear Mr. Kuku,

I just spoke with Rev. Belcher. He is getting a little concerned that maybe the boys are not really on their way, that perhaps they decided to head back to Nigeria. Could this be the case? Have you heard anything from them?

Yours in the Lord,

Rev. Benjamin Boyd

Boyd now hatches a new scheme: the money will be send to Abuja (the capital of Nigeria) with the pilot of the plane that is taking the injured child. Kuku agrees he can meet to collect the money, but is still concerned about his "boys".

From koffi kuku Thu May 18 172446 2006

Rev. Boyd,

I think that I can be there meet the pilot on Saturday. I am more worried about the boys now. I still have not heard anything. Have you?

Mr. Eric from the unhcr is a bastard. He would not agree to send any of his people to look for the boys. Who are you sending to look?

Dear Mr. Kuku,

I just spoke with Rev. Belcher. Like you, we are both gravely worried about the boys. It's been a couple of days now and there seems to be no trace of them anywhere.

Please do not tell anyone about this but I have an associate who knows of a guy who will do dirty work for the right price. This man has contacts within the Sudan Liberation Army, the people who seem to have the upper hand in Western Darfur right now. With your permission, I would like to contact this man and see what we can do about locating the boys. What do you think?

Yours in the Lord,

Rev. Benjamin Boyd

Using the SLA is apparently a step too far for Kuku. But he's beginning to catch on that something isn't quite right...

From koffi kuku Fri May 19 141205 2006

Rev. Boyd,

I am very surprised to hear you speak of mercinarys like this. How is it that a man of God knows such things and people? I think that the UN is better placed to handle this situation. What do your friends with the UN say is happening?

And if Rev. Belcher has a plane now why didnt he fly to a bank of his own with his money? Why have people come to receive it in person? These are questions that people have been asking me today.

Barrister Koffi Kuku (Esq).

Some good news! Sort of...

It turns out that the boys were picked up by immigration police, and are being held for trial in August. The officer speaking to Kuku says he can release them early for a fee of $4,000, if he comes to collect them. It also turns out that Okonji is Kuku's own nephew. This was all discovered in a 10-minute phone call between Kuku and Boyd.

It begins to get worse. The $4,000 is now off the table: instead, they want $80,000.

From koffi kuku Sun May 21 093701 2006

Rev. Belcher,

Rev. Boyd says that I need to talk to you for help. The police in Sudan is demanding a $80000 fee for release the boys. The money that you have is for humanitarian purposes. The boys are humanitarian and are in jail because they are God fearing people who love people and humanity. I beg in the name of God that you to send me the money in yout airplane to pay for the boys. Please call me urgently do talk about this in detail.

Kuku finally gets up off his butt

Rev. Belcher,

I will leave tomorrow and arrive thusday in the afternoon. I have to fly to Franfurt Germany before flying to Khartoum. I had to sell a car to pay the airline fee. I need you to give me your phone number and address in Khartoum. I want to see you before I go to get the boys from Kober jail. I beg you to have $80000 to give me before I see the boys so I can pay there fees to the police. Please call me at xxxxxxxxxxxx.

From Kuhm Belcher Tue May 23 073126 2006

Hi Mr. Kuku,

I am happy to hear that you were able to make travel arrangements so quickly. I am truely amazed. Why did you have to sell your car? I thought that you were a millionaire.

...

He drags on with more bait.

Kuku must defend his image

From koffi kuku Tue May 23 082106 2006

Rev. Belcher,

I did not say that I have no money. My bossom friend Mr. Mike Adenuga who is billonaire business man here in Nigeria is asking me to be a managing director to his globacom telecommuination company. While I am preparing for this, I am so busy that I do not have time to do any business here in Nigeria as I am not even sure of the economic stability, so I am financially tight now. That is why I sold my car.

I thank you for meeting with the police offcial. I do not like him but see clear that I have to do what he wants so that is why I hope that you will help me financially when I get there. I do not want you to go with me to the Kober jail as I think that would make the situation more diffuclt for me.

Barrister Koffi Kuku (Esq).

More rambling and story building. Then this

From koffi kuku Thu May 25 134131 2006

Rev. Boyd,

This situation is become unbearable. I went to Kober prison and was met with hostility. The officials there denied having the boys with them. I was made to feel like a fool.This stress is more than I am able to continue with. If I go back to Nigeria without the boys I am dead. I have asked to speak to someone at the embassy about this. I will go there tomorrow.

Barrister Koffi Kuku (Esq).

On May 26th, the scammer finally figures out that he might've been tricked.

Smart guy, the officials that I talk to say that your church does not exist anywhere and is not at any camp in chad. The police official is the president? I can see now that you are a fraud playing serious games. What do you gain with this? I just want to know why. I have never know anyone like you. You are a unimaginable bastard pig to do this to me. I want you to know that i will spend my life to find you and when I do you and your family will suffer terrible as i have, I promise.

Good by bastard

Insisting on having the final word, Kuhm Belcher sends an emotion-filled final reply.

From Kuhm Belcher Fri May 26 112630 2006

Hi "Mr. Kuku" or is it Achiu (that's your real name, right?),

I don't usually do this, but as long as you've figured this out, I will make an exception in your case.

First off, congrats for finally putting it all together. I was starting to think that you were r-slurred or something. Is it too late to ask for a postcard from Khartoum? Haha, just kidding. Save your money for the trip back. How is Khartoum by the way? I've never been there and I am really curious.

Second, you asked me why I did all this. I'll tell you why. It's mostly because I hate people that try to scam honest, hard working people out of their life savings. I hate, even more, people that are willing to steal from priests and from homeless refugees. That's right fool; I knew you were a scammer from your very first letter you sent last year. Can you believe it? That was 8 months ago. Wow. How time flies by.

I've got to say this though, you were quite the challenge. I get fools like you to travel all the time but it usually takes less than a month. There were times that I almost gave up on you.

How do you suppose Oney is doing? He is one of the monkies that you sent to Farchana, isn't he? Do you think that he is still alive or perhaps he is getting regularly butt-fricked by the barbarian horde in some prison in Darfur? It's a shame that you did not go with him and the other guy. I could have gotten three scammers at one time.

By the way, did you know that you are famous now? That's right Achiu, famous. For the last month or so, I have been sharing every email, every detail with thousands of other people like me that also enjoy messing with stupid little boys like you. We have all gotten a big kick watching this.

You even caused a bit of a stir too. A moral debate continued for days. Some thought that I was a little harsh on you. Personally, I think that you were lucky that it was only me on the other end of the computer or telephone. There are others out there far more talented at this than I am that could have gotten you to Antarctica by now, which, if I were you, is exactly where I would be headed. I cannot imagine that your family back in Lagos is too happy with you at the moment. Maybe when the boys eventually crawl out from whatever rock they are under, your family will let you go back to Lagos.

Well, cocktard, I've said just about all that I wanted to. When you get to Antarctica, be sure to stay bundled up. It gets pretty darn cold there you know. And if you find yourself a bit light on cash, give me call. I'll see if I can Western Union some money to you.

Blessings

Some people argued that this went too far. The author left a page about the ethics. https://www.419eater.com/html/RoadToChadDarfur/opinion.html

So, try to rest easy about all this. I know that I will.

Here's a thread from 2010, where the fun police arrive to decide that no, this is not fun: https://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=145935

I don't think the guy accomplished anything good here. Are these baiters actually going to act as a real deterrent to scamming? Is the guy who got baited going to feel any remorse for scamming people because some vigilante screwed with his life? Can the baiter know for sure that these 2 boys had actually ruined anyone's lives beforehand, or would have in the future? Do the boys share equal responsibility with their 'boss' 'Mr. Kiku'?

Here's another thread where people at le epic memes that the author included in the scam bait: https://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=174766
