Ugh that was such a weird, creepy scene to write. It floored me when I first read the book. So unnecessary and just wrong. What kind of person would come up with that? It’s presented in the book as being kind of normal somehow. Also, weren’t they like 12? It didn’t even “bond” them together since they all forgot about it immediately after leaving the town.

I just want to throw out there (i did not watch the video so this isn’t in reference to this specific situation) that I did personally experience a tornado in 1997 that completely demolished the church across the street from the house I was in. There was nothing left if it except a pile of rubble and scraps. The church bell wound up inside my aunt’s blazer. Piano sheet music was found for miles. No other building was destroyed (though there were a few homes with tree damage and the like.) The house I was in barely was touched. Tornados are wild.

Lol a peer support specialist is a person who has their own co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues that they have overcome for a period of time. Their expertise is their own experiences and a short certification. Masters degree not needed. Outreach specialist is unlikely to be any more of an expert than a peer support (though might require a degree). I’m not sure what this article is trying to say but it’s weird that they would focus on her expertise in mental health. It literally just confirmed that she is clinically diagnosed with mental illnesses… and I think everyone knew that already.

I’m not sure of the time frame. I remember attention being drawn to it around the time of the January 6th event but I don’t know if it was new. I tried to figure it out but I just came up with another video where he talks about super soldiers

I’ve been wondering about that myself. Do you remember seeing that video where Jacob was talking about being a military contractor and talking about the three big secret inventions that are going to change the world? It’s been a long time since I’ve come across it but I remember watching it right about the same time as January 6th. Perhaps he angered someone and thought he would be okay only to discover that he had been sacrificed?

I’m going to try to locate that video because I’m interested in watching it again.

I’m laughing so hard. I feel bad for the woman but way to go blasting him like this! The comments are hilarious.

Ah, yes. This happened in Flint, Mi too during the water crisis there. Water rates are still high there. And I don’t know anyone who actually uses and trusts the water there even to this day.

People can be so good at making an awful situation worse.

No. It was just worse then. Also… they work more days than the kids go to school. And I don’t know who you think runs the summer schools but… it’s the teachers.

I noticed this also! The cheap eggs are very expensive but the eggs that were already expensive went up very little in price.

I was going to say… my sister is a teacher and during those months of school she is working waaaaaaay more hours than I am with my regular full time job. During the peak of covid insanity she was nearly working 24 hours a day because of how they handled the online school in her district. And she makes less than I do overall and I do NOT have an incredible job or anything.

The phrases “Pulitzer prize” and “New York times” did trigger a little red flag for me but those events were in the 70s. Would be way more of a red flag if it were current. I should have used more words but really it was more like… I hadn’t heard of him before this and I thought that paragraph of credentials was pretty enlightening. He’s been around the block and clearly knows some stuff.

I feel like this part of the article sheds a little light as well:

“Seymour Hersh, born April 8, 1937 in Chicago, has been one of the world's most influential investigative journalists for more than half a century. In 1970 he received the Pulitzer Prize for exposing US war crimes in the village of My Lai, Vietnam, which caused a major international outcry. He was instrumental in investigating the watergate scandal for the New York Times. In 2004 he reported on US torture practices in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison, for which he received the prestigious Polk award.”

I remember seeing this video before. I’m not sure exactly when but I THINK it was right when the vaccine started rolling out initially. It is definitely not a fresh leak.

I think that would make the “others”…. not conspiracy theorists. 🤔

It sounds to me like he spent $4500 on what is probably going to be an awesome event at Mar-A-Lago. I’m sure those memories will be priceless.

I was really disappointed too. My polling place was BUSY though. I’ve always been in and out and yesterday it took nearly and hour to get in and out with a never ending line out the door! I think we got there around 5:30pm though. There was probably a lot of people on their way home from work. The lady whose job seemed to be corralling the line had mentioned that it had been like that a lot throughout the day though.

Nope. There were conservative signs covering most of the county that I live in and most of the places I have visited. It was the same way in 2020 with the Trump signs. I have only seen vote no’s for most of the props. Just a couple yes signs. It truly doesn’t make sense….. unless there was cheating, of course.

Propaganda was pretty hard here though. We got several hilarious mailers and if you went on YouTube it was an endless stream of democratic ads. We don’t really have tv so I don’t know about commercials but I imagine that was pretty heavy too.

I was aware of basically every “conspiracy” but never paid any attention until covid happened. I literally could not believe what was going on around me and how others couldn’t see it. I started down rabbit holes shortly after and when I realized that literally all of the “conspiracies” connected I was awake.

Yeah… it reminds me of the pages and pages of reviews for that “three wolf moon” shirt on Amazon? Like… people started writing funny reviews and then TONS of people jumped on the bandwagon.

I spent two years following… idk. Not really keto or anything but I didn’t really eat anything but meat and vegetables with occasional fruit. I fell off when I moved in with my boyfriend but omg I had never felt better than I did during that time. It was a full on physical and mental change. There is definitely something to be said about not eating processed food and avoiding sugar.

The waitlist thing is strange. I was somewhere in the 300,000s and I’ve been in for several weeks now. And I got no less than fifteen push notifications in a five minute span letting me know (and roughly the same amount of emails.)

When the water crisis hit in Flint Michigan and it was looking like kids could be developmentally impacted it was actually surprising to me how many parents continued to subject their children to the water in hopes of (at least) being able to obtain disability money. I think there are more awful people in the world than anyone realizes.
