These 9/11 survivors would make like Alcohol Anonymous groups, called 9/11-Survivors Therapy groups where they would share their PTSD stories, like how traumatic the event was, all their work colleagues dying or barely escaping burning alive or having almost being flattened by the falling skyscrapers and shit.

These survivors would have yearly gatherings and barbecues and it was all swell and shit, and helped people cope and you get the idea.

Burgerland Politicians would show up and take pictures with these organizations and all the peeps of the survivor groups.

Now all of this fakery sounds boring and relatively benign compared to other fricked up frauds like Indians scamming western boomers out of their retirements through scam calls, but holy smokes Tanya was actually REALLY depraved

1stly, when these therapy groups/sessions had begun, Tanya had gone to lengths to upstage the real survivors, by embellishing her survivor story to the extreme - hers was always the most graphic horrific PTSD turbo shit. Like all the other peeps had like "mild" survivor stories - as in one woman barely made it past the "cut-off" point where peeps above the plane crash were trapped, and she's haunted by that, another milder story would involve a boomer saying how he remembers almost choking to death from smoke, and being traumatized by all of his dead colleagues, AND THEN

Tanya would come into these groups and tell a fricking thriller action-horror story to one-up everyone else: like she says her husband was insta-killed by the 1st tower plane-missle, and that she was at ground zero in the 2nd tower when the 2nd plane hit it, and that she was like amidst the fire and debris crawling to the stairs and shit.

And as she's crawling over the floor, her fricking arm is pulverized, barely held on by like a thread of skin and that she crawled over the dead bodies down and she spent a like half a year in hospital recovering and shit.

And the other survivors sitting in this therapy groups, would be like: oh man, my survivor story sucks, but this Tanya b-word was on a whole other level.

And subsequently she would become like the poster-woman of these 9/11 survivor groups, whom would shake the hands of burger-politicians

https://nypost.com/2012/04/16/tale-of-911-faker/

But her real fricking depraved was that she would frick with REAL actual 9/11 survivors whom would be like PTSD mind-r*ped traumatized by the event as bad as r*pe survivors!

Tanya had made a best friend with another survivor, amongst these therapy groups, and Tanya had the GALL to reel in this woman and other peeps into therapy cope actions called FLOODING

And this poor hapless women would be like wtf is Flooding? Turns out its fricking Tanya crawling on the floor "reliving" her fricked up horror fake experience to "overcome the trauma"

This faker would tell real actual 9/11 survivors to do this, and as you can expect this best friend of Tanya (who actually DID have PTSD from the event) would like instantly be all sweaty and panicky from such a fricked up simulation, and be like: "sorry Tanya, this shit is way too real for me"

And fricking Tanya in her turbo depravity would yell (to a REAL actual 9/11 survivor) how dare the b-word skimp out on her therapeutic actions?!!?!

Even worse, because of her now infamous (my the mid 2000s) gruesome turbo story basically mogging the "mild" version of everybody else's stories, she got declared the president of the 9/11 SURVIVORS CLUB ASSOCIATION THING.

And the previous prez was like, I thought I did a good job as an organizer, but Tanya's fakeass story was too much better for being the poster-girl

The silver lining of her depraved ruse, was that her ultra lust for attention meant that as the poster-girl, and face of these organizations, many reporters wanted to interview her, which led to her downfall

And EXPOSURE OF THE TRUTH

In September 2007, The New York Times sought to verify key details of Head's story as part of an anniversary piece. And like the reporter interviewing her for the 1st time is like not at all suspicious, like he asks the b-word the most soft ball questions in the history of softball questions, and she's acting like those peeps in the TCL interview Youtube channel, all dodgy and tsotsi like for the most inane-butt questions

So the NYT reporter got weirded out and tried to do the most baseline checks, and could not even find records of the hospital where she supposedly was treated. Whereas previously all the other survivors just 100% took her at her word for all of her BS, this was the 1st time somebody was like wtf is going on.

he Times then contacted other members of the Survivors' Network, and raised questions about the veracity of Head's story. By the week of September 27, 2007, the Network voted to remove her as president and as a director of the group.

https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/nyregion/27survivor.html?em

And like during that week when the NYT reporter was like gunning for her and starting asking he hardball questions, her friends were like: "Tanya just answer the stupid questions, why you being weird" and her evasiveness finally began to awaken suspicions amongst the other survivors.

And afterwards she just like disappeared from the face of the earth, and the fallout was like turbo drama at the time. And 7 years of building of a fake life came crumbling down

I recently moved to the United Kingdom from Australia. Previously I always started presentations with a land acknowledgement, partly because it was the norm and partly to make a point about how Australia had come to exist. I would always be able to relate this to what I was talking about or at the very least create a smooth change of subject. Now that I'm in the UK I need to give a presentation, but I don't know how to start it off.

How else do people start presentations

NEILY, Costa Rica — After being deported from the U.S. with his wife and 6-year-old son, German Smirnov, a Russian national, is being held at a migrant camp in the Central American country. After more than a month there, he says he feels he is being forced to consider staying there to live.

Smirnov, 36, is among 110 migrants, mostly from Asian and African countries, who have been detained at the Center for Temporary Attention of Migrants (CATEM) since late February and now find themselves in limbo.

Many of the detainees tell Noticias Telemundo they're confused and torn over the limited options being offered by Costa Rican officials, including applying for asylum there, going back to their home countries, waiting it out in the shelter or officially documenting their case to request asylum in another country. It's all while enduring high temperatures and poor food and conditions.

But many of the migrants say they don't have a safe country to return to and little information to help them.

For the first time since the migrants arrived from the U.S., and following weeks of pressure from activists and lawmakers, Costa Rican authorities have opened up the camp to the media. Several migrants who have had their documents confiscated said that they feel they have few choices about what comes next.

"They tell us nothing here," Smirnov said. "We're here for almost 40 days."

Smirnov, who had planned on requesting asylum in America before the Trump administration suspended asylum at the Southern border, said it's impossible to return to Russia after fleeing for political reasons.

"It's complicated. I'm ready to stay here, but I don't have anywhere to live," Smirnov said. "I don't have a job and I don't speak the local language."

Costa Rica is one of several Central American countries that has agreed to serve as a bridge between the U.S. and the migrants, many of whom come from countries like China or India.

So far, six people have fled the camp without authorization or documents, said Omer Badilla, Costa Rica's deputy minister of the interior and police. Dozens more have been repatriated to their home countries, while the majority remain at the center behind a chain-link fence, forbidden to leave the premises.

Until the migrants make an official choice, passports and other identification documents will remain confiscated, Badilla said. As of Monday, the country had not received a formal asylum request from any of the migrants, Badilla said.

Badilla said that the migrants have all been made aware of their options, particularly about the need to formalize their asylum claims with documents in other countries. But he said that many do not want to speak with authorities.

"They've been told to document the case, and they're afraid. We only work on documented cases. They're afraid to talk to the police," Badilla said. "We're working so they can feel confident that we won't take action against them."

But Badilla said that the country is guaranteeing that those who feel a "well-founded fear" of returning to their countries of origin will not be forced to do so.

Smirnov said that, if he returns to Russia, he could be forced to join in Moscow's war against Ukraine.

"They'll put me in jail or send me to war," he said. "It's simple, because my country is at war with a neighboring country."

A St. Petersburg native, Smirnov was an elections official who was recruited by the Anti-Corruption Foundation, an organization founded by the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, to expose fraud in last year's election. Authorities discovered his agreement with the group, he said, and he was forced to flee Russia.

"They caught me while I was recording the whole process," Smirnov said. "Maybe someone betrayed me, I don't know."

Smirnov, who was detained for nearly a month in San Diego before being deported to Costa Rica, said his family had hoped to relocate to Australia or Canada. But he said that their requests for help in relocating to a third country have been ignored by authorities.

Mohammad Saber Asadi, who fled Afghanistan with his wife, Najia, and their almost 3-year-old daughter, Asra, said he's been searching for a path to another country, like Canada or Germany. But without visas in place, he said that authorities have given him only two options: stay in Costa Rica or go back to Afghanistan.

Asadi, who runs a construction company, fled Afghanistan after he was threatened by the Taliban for selling materials to contractors from the United States or other Western countries. Asadi said that he had already been arrested after the Taliban returned to power in 2021, and can't risk another stint in prison.

"I don't know what will happen to me," Asadi said.

Attempting to start a life in Costa Rica isn't so simple.

"I would like to go to a country that I can live, that I can make a good future for my family, for my daughter," Asadi said. "But here in Costa Rica, I think it's not possible for me. I don't know Spanish, I don't have information about the culture of Costa Rica and I don't have any family here to support me."

The conditions at the camp haven't made their time in detention any easier, either, the migrants said. Alexandra, a Russian migrant who requested to go by her first name out of fear of retaliation from the Russian government, said many in the camp are nervous, stressed and lost. There's little ventilation amid the over-90-degree weather, and many have fallen ill.

"We don't have air conditioning or fans, some families have sick children, and some women have fainted," she said.

Asadi also said that while food had been provided by a local restaurant, paid for by the U.S., those meals have since been halted. Migrants have been living on beans and rice on most days, which is particularly difficult for infants, since it's been challenging to access any baby food. And little drinking water is provided throughout the day.

"We are not free to go outside of here. Here, it's like a jail," Asadi said. "The children, they cry every day. They cry."

Costa Rica's role in U.S. deportations has drawn criticisms for the past few weeks, with immigrant rights advocates saying that the country is complicit in America's human rights violations. Badilla has said that Costa Rica agreed to accept the migrants "because of our history and our customs as human rights protectors," and that the agreement with the Trump administration isn't based on any special conditions.

"We responded to the United States' government's request, and we raised our hand to help them," Badilla said.

Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves said at a news conference in February that the country is helping its "economically powerful brother from the north."

"If they impose a tax in our free zones, it'll screw us," Chaves said. "I don't think they'll do it, thank God ... Love is repaid with love. ... Two-hundred will come, we treat them well and they will leave."

Art has always been a first line of defense against far right extremism, but when art goes in a conservative direction, morality and culture shifts in the wrong direction as well. Sadly, that seems to be happening in the entertainment industry.

Before the election of 2016, entertainment was headed in a forward, progressive direction. It was becoming commonplace for all ages media to depict queer families and stories, and I was very hopeful that this would lead into the big studios like Disney taking on explicitly queer stories in their mainstream films, but since 2016, we've slowly been heading backwards. The rise of the trump right is unfortunately normalizing the silence of progressive art, but it's picked up intense steam since the pigs won again in 2024. I see us sadly headed into a second satanic panic, and then some. Here's why.

If political lobbyists working for trump can pressure major studios into scrapping queer stories to appease evangelicals, we're in a real pickle. When pixar scrapped a trans character's story in favor of a Christian character, that set off many red flags for me. Did lobbyists from the right force them to do this? Was Disney's leadership right leaning to begin with and were they suddenly emboldened by a trump win to scrap the queer character's story? Was there foul play at hand by evangelicals to pressure Disney or was this disneys own choice? Whatever happened, it's not a good sign for where art is headed. If there wasn't a Christian character in Win or Lose, I wouldn't be as concerned, but there is, and I'm not saying "Christianity bad", not at all, I'm simply saying because the right has perverted that religion and uses it as their big talking point, when you see queer characters erased and replaced by Christian characters, it's worrying because art is essentially communicating "we're going in a right leaning direction, we're heading backwards".

The rise of Angel Studios is also a sign of art slipping backwards. This is a studio with obvious ties to the right and to focus on the family. When they released sound of freedom, I laughed them off as a silly trumpy competitor to real studios creating real art, but since the election, they've been gaining massive strength in the film industry. Angel Studios is explicitly right leaning, but recently, their films have been getting bigger, and big names have been taking part in them, even some prominent A list democrats have taken part in their movies. This isn't like veggietales, it's not some people having fun with their church buddies and making silly parody's of Bible stories for laughs, this is a focus on the family ally hellbent on indoctrinating people, especially kids, intentionally manipulating them to think red, not just Christian, but think republican. I'm not saying that films with a religious angle are bad, there's many that are lovely, prince of Egypt, anything veggietales, the small one short, it's not the fact that Angel Studios is producing religious media, it's the intent behind it. Prince of Egypt isn't out to convert your kids to Judaism, nor is it telling the audience to vote for anyone, but movies like sound of freedom are indoctrinating people to be evangelical conspiracy theorists, to vote for the trump right.

The less queer mainstream studios get, the less queer the arts get, the less moral the arts become and the right gains a foothold in something that we desperately need as a line of defense. That's why I encourage everyone here to not give in, to make explicitly queer art, to be that moral voice that this world needs, because evangelicals sure aren't that voice. Let's keep the arts inclusive for all, we cannot let the arts fall backwards.

Which looks better?

The answer was it doesn't matter because the lack of shame in this thread is an emergency tier societal rot. There must be a cleansing.

Most Dramatic Comments

You dont trust reddit for anything else, why would you use their opinion on Christianity? (+11/-0)

Because a lot of Christians out there are subverted like that. I have never enountered a Christian IRL who doesnt think jewish chads are "their brothers". https://youtube.com/@MawsParasite2 https://groomercord.com/invite/tmPmg9cjpx (+3/-3)

Daily reminder that all religions are ethno religions, and vice versa. All Eyropeans are pagan at heart. All arabs are muslim at heart. All jewish chads are talmund at heart. The religion of asians? They worship whatever government they currently live under. The religion of BIPOCs and other shitskins? Violence. The religion of Injuns and Mestizos? Drugs. https://youtube.com/@MawsParasite2 https://disc... (+2/-2)

i'm on the fence about ci interpretation, but i do believe we should discuss it more often. /u/takenusernamea also had an interesting take on it also a reminder that grim is a dragon furstrag. his opinion is irrelevant (+4/-0)

What did I ever do to you? (+1/-1)

So if you want to know why I am not too fond of Christianity, and why I do not think it can be reformed, this is the reason. A new religion is needed, that is created from nothing. It can be based on Christianity, God and Jesus, but it must show a strong deviation from existing denominations. And it must be Whites only and endorse conservative-nationalistic notions. When someone says he belongs to... (+3/-1)

So, centuries ago when the missionaries came around, why did pagan Europeans take to Christianity that like ducks to water and why wasn't that success able to be replicated with the other races? (+3/-0)

Even a European who 100% believes he is Christian is still a pagan at heart, just like how a jewish chad who "converts" to Christianity is still a jewish chad. Genetics people, genetics. (+2/-1)

!spacechads "Hello, Major Tom, are you receiving?

Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by"

There's no reply

As it flew up toward the International Space Station last summer, the Starliner spacecraft lost four thrusters. A NASA astronaut, Butch Wilmore, had to take manual control of the vehicle. But as Starliner's thrusters failed, Wilmore lost the ability to move the spacecraft in the direction he wanted to go.

Wilmore: "I don't know that we can come back to Earth at that point. I don't know if we can. And matter of fact, I'm thinking we probably can't. So there we are, loss of 6DOF control, four aft thrusters down, and I'm visualizing orbital mechanics. The space station is nose down. So we're not exactly level with the station, but below it. If you're below the station, you're moving faster. That's orbital mechanics. It's going to make you move away from the station. So I'm doing all of this in my mind. I don't know what control I have. What if I lose another thruster? What if we lose comm? What am I going to do?"

Investigations into EPIC

Abbott announced a criminal investigation into EPIC on Monday, marking the fifth active probe announced by state officials in about a week. But it's not clear what criminal statutes EPIC and its project developers could be violating.

The controversary began in February after a video promoting EPIC City went viral online. It almost immediately received backlash from commenters, including Abbott.

Abbott has repeatedly accused the project of promoting Sharia law and "Sharia cities" — referring to a body of religious laws that form parts of the Islamic traditions.

That same month, Texas Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, sent a letter to Attorney General Ken Paxton requesting he look into EPIC.

Then came the first investigation, followed by three more ordered by Abbott in addition to the criminal probe.

The first four investigations include claims the project could be discriminating against non-Muslims in violation of the Texas Fair Housing Act, along with alleging potential financial harm to investors, potential violations of Texas consumer protection laws, and operating illegal funeral services.

KERA News sent multiple requests for comment over the past week with a series of questions seeking to clarify Abbott's claims:

In a post on X, Abbott referred to "foreign adversaries" buying land, but did not elaborate. Is he referring to all Muslims and the East Plano Islamic Center as adversaries? Abbott said the group could be misleading investors who've purchased land from EPIC City, but did not provide details as to how. What state and federal securities requirements are potentially being violated according to the governor? Gov. Abbott says EPIC does not have a license to offer funeral services. But the mosque's website shows it partners with Rahma Funeral Homes to provide funeral services — which is licensed and has been since 2004, according to the state's Online Licensing System. What law is being broken by EPIC regarding how they operate funeral services? With Monday's criminal investigation announced, what laws are being potentially broken, as none were specified in the press release?

The governor's office has not responded to those requests for comment as of Tuesday.

Imran Chaudhary, president of Community Capital Partners said in an email to KERA News last week the company will work with Paxton in the pending investigations.

"We understand that there has been a lot of rumor-milling and misinformation circulated by many who are uninformed," Chaudhary said. "We look forward to working with the Attorney General to ensure that we are in legal compliance every step of the way and educating the broader community about our project."

Early stages

Abbott on Tuesday ordered EPIC and its affiliates to cease construction, and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Executive Director Kelly Keel wrote in a letter that despite "extensive permitting obligations," TCEQ hasn't any applications or documents for the project and is violating state law.

But during a public hearing at the Collin County Commissioners Court on Monday, David Kahloefer, the senior project manager on EPIC City, said the project is still in the analysis phase.

"We are looking at the options to prepare an application for TCEQ, but at this time we're still on our due diligence phase," he said.

Kahloefer said the group anticipates they'll file for permits with the county sometime later this year, but they aren't ready to move forward yet.

The developer, Community Capital Partners, has purchased the land and finished water and flood studies and is adapting plans based on those results.

Darrell Evans, the former Democratic candidate for Collin County Texas House District 89, told the county commissioners at the hearing the North Texas Muslim community is being unfairly targeted.

"In America, are we now spending tax dollars investigating ideas?" Evans said. "Is that where we are?"

Why are people upset?

Some residents who live near where the development will be located said they were concerned how the development will impact local resources, including water availability, emergency services, roads and traffic.

In 2023, the population of Josephine grew by nearly 5,000 people – a 234% increase in the course of three years. Collin County is also experiencing a rapid population boom. The county's growth has strained resources. Local fire departments struggle to keep up with the demand for emergency services in unincorporated county areas.

But several speakers at the public hearing at Collin County commissioners' court Monday repeated stereotypes about the Muslim faith, including unfounded claims that the potential EPIC City residents would be affiliated with terrorist organizations.

Tasha Escoto told the commissioners she's not against inclusion, but she said the Muslim-oriented community goes against American "Christian values."

"I'm sick that this is even a consideration in Texas today," Escoto said. "We are a nation founded on Christian values. Why are we even allowing this? It used to be that something like this was called a cult, but today it's being called a community."

Samar Waqar, a Muslim woman who lives in Collin County, said those comments don't represent her faith, and said it isn't fair to generalize about the Muslim community based on stereotypes.

"My faith values are based on compassion and kindness, in welcoming everyone," she said. "There is no discrimination within our faith."

'An open community'

Erin Ragsdale, a representative for Community Captial Partners, said at Monday's hearing anyone is welcome in EPIC City and that it's not exclusive to the Muslim community — a message the group has been emphasizing for months.

"Anybody who wants to buy a piece of land in this proposed masterplan community can buy one," Ragsdale said. "To build a house, to open a business, to build a school, to build a church, it is open to everyone, and their vision is to build an inclusive community for everyone."

Ragsdale said she believes reactions from the community may have looked different if the plans for the development were centered around a Christain place of worship.

Ragsdale added that the community is "proud to be Texans" — and Americans.

"They are excited about having the opportunity to develop a master-planned, family-centric community in Collin County," Ragsdale said.
