Monica Lewinsky on the Epstein Files and the Nuances of Grooming

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/monica-lewinsky-epstein-files

Look, I know how we feel about Monica. What we do nit want to do is get caught the "on the one hand dance" aka "whataboutism."

Monica sought out Bill for sex and celebrity? YES
Did Bill use his power to try to cover up the fact he was getting sex? YES

But There are two crimes for which both of them need to be criticized for.

Monica, you comparing yourself to YOUNG CHILDREN, who were dropped of on an island, put in dungeons, tortured, raped, and if the alleged is true, literally hunted for sport ad eaten show what an utter pig you are! You have made a load of money off that cigar, and literally changed the course of history for the worse. NOW you want to extend your 15 minutes of fame to a half hour!?

Now Bill, I do not know what you did with Epstein. Let's have Aladdin's lamp and poof, say you DID NOT HAVE SEX with any of the young ladies Epstein provided. The fact is, people knew he was a creep, who had a lot of young ladies presented in sex manner not seen since ethe days of the playboy mansion. Hell, even Hugh knew what barely legal meant, and he also had a lot off cameras in his mansion. It is one thing for an innocent rube to walk into that sort of trap, but not someone who got burned by a simple phone call the nearly cost you your neck, oh, and hurt your wife badly.

So, how do we avoid whataboutism? Simply this, by acknowledging that both facts lead to a greater truth, that America will suffer until we stop rewarding appetites of the rich and those who desperately want to be rich. Both M and B have been pilloried, and we do not want to become the society that burns people at the stake just because they are deplorable. Judge not lest ye be judged. WE can say that when they do very public penance, we can reject their deposit in the church till.

The Epstein Scandal Isn't What You Think It Is! It's about "Blat"...



"He was not merely committing a crime, he was establishing a forbidden zone within a modern era."
"He was not selling toothpaste, he was selling an intuition ritual."
the last it true, were the whole point was not sex, the idea that YOU are one of the elite.
This article, and this you tub channel, will make a lot of things clear.

AI Isn't The Future. It's Medieval Alchemy.



I do nto agree with the opinion, but he accidentally stumbles onto a hard truth: the enthusiasm about AI is truly the same nonsense that led charlatans to offer to be able to changed lead to gold, without really explaining all o this is supposed to work. Another aspect, is that they add math to it so it appears to be science.

Has A New "Long, Twilight Struggle" Begun? The End of World War II History



This is a very depressing thing to watch, but it is honest. The only thing that resembles hope, it is that when we realize what is dead, that perhaps we can nurture what life is to come.

re: Charlie Kirk

Yes, I heard Bill maher say "fuck you" tpo anyone who cheers kirk getting killed

I also heard a reminder that black, browns reds should not let the majority dictate the terms of their resistance, since let's face it, there is already a push to smother it, along with all the e "let's al get along"

when you are faced with two alternatives, usually the best choice, is BOTH.

Yes we can make sure that we do NOT become what we hate, and that we remember that while violence may be needed at times, at almost always gets out of control and burns victim and villain alike. It becomes an endless stack of "well your team did this, so I get to do this!' At ten end all those involved becomes nothing but food for tee vultures

Yes, we do need to watch the fact that the right wing will tray to spin this into "the left is so violent" Never mind Gabby Gifford, Harvey Milk, MLK. Never mind that if one looks at right wing site sand hear outright calls for violence. The calls do nto just come from crazies, but people in suits. The call to make sure Guns are nto controlled came from many, including one Charlie Kirk himself.

So, if we do nto want a violent nations, we have to do the one things that the USA has never done since 1609, try to renounce violence and coexist
IF not, don weep crocodile tears when the blood flows, especially if it reaches your doorstep
