"All nonsense!": Michael Jackson’s former bodyguard slams the Trump administration for releasing a deceptive photo of Jackson and Epstein to try to make it appear that the two had ties.
if a person is with 4 roomies and their panties are going missing could it be their roomies taking them or their landlord?7:26 AMIt could be either, unfortunately. Here are the most likely scenarios:
Roommates are statistically more likely since they have constant access to living spaces, laundry areas, and bedrooms. They're around more often and would have more opportunities.
The landlord is possible but typically has less access - they usually need to give notice before entering (depending on local laws), and their visits are less frequent. However, if they have keys and enter when no one's home, it's certainly possible.
Other possibilities to consider:
Items getting mixed up in shared laundry (stuck to other clothes, accidentally taken)
A guest or visitor one of the roommates brought over
Someone with access you haven't considered (maintenance worker, etc.)
What you can do:
Keep underwear in your private room, not in shared laundry areas
Consider a small camera for your room if you're seriously concerned (check local laws first)
Do laundry when you can immediately transfer and put away items
Have a direct conversation with roommates if you feel safe doing so
Document when items go missing
If it's the landlord and they're entering without proper notice, that's likely illegal where you are
This is a violation of privacy and potentially theft. If you confirm who's responsible, you may want to consider changing your living situation or reporting it to authorities, especially if it's the landlord abusing their access.
What an insane time to be around…The world is chaotic but that is the goal of it all…and no people had it even worse in other times and there are several realities where everything has collapsed entirely. A lot of my dreams are capture the flag type scenarios and a lot of sex with hung guys lol and wandering around tons of shopping centres and hotels endlessly- I fear that my other self in this place- I can see- is hopelessly wandering a matrix of sorts. The one night that stuck out for me was when myself? Saw a cat on the street and whoever I was almost broke down in adoration of the feline and the feline just gave me? A really super weird look like it was shocked to get so much attention, but I think to someone wandering the streets all day -the sight of a cat would be comforting beyond belief. A lot of my books is dream travel that I recorded for a few years of my life. The first is a heavy dream travel novel-the sequel is kind of a mix and my manifesto which is autobiographical and also some wealth core and the third is kind of working out to be even heavier wealth core haha its funny but I obtained the copyrights a long time ago for my books so that was kind of the first step in it all- it will shape up to be a hunter s thompson type series. I would really like to do a conspiracy book or two really delving into Mk ultra and ritual abuse etc but I am struggling whether I want to go into even more detail about my manifesto and the meow mix audio series or just kind of make it a general sounding book on monarch slavery- I feel like I have written 100 books with this blog so I don’t care if I am not really into grammar I know I am a good writer and that is all that matters, its kind of tough to go between analytical and visual at times cause I find the visual a lot more impressive to work with.
Yes the world has ended. Technically.
What I cant figure out is the timing, I kind of think it all happened around the year 2000 it could have been as early as around 1994/1995 so I also think it kind of had alternate timelines sprout off when skull and bones stole an astronomical amount of money from the people…but also covid, and for me personally I believe I died at least once already but quite possibly a few times soul snared in foreign countries. It all sounds so horrific but it is what it is. We are getting to a point where literally everyone is observed for anomalous behaviour and everyone has something on them, either a sexual deviance or a criminal side or a dirty little secret that they know about.
It seems like this whole fantastic simulation is setup only for me, but I look at it as not an ego thing- I just kind of get it all…like I strongly believe when the time comes the only thing standing between all of this progressing beautifully or devolving into a new world order scenario is just little ol me. And it will be really interesting to see it happen in real time because I have been preparing for it for a long time now…but it is particularly troublesome for an introvert to even comprehend. Most people would say well why are you so special you are just nothing you are disgusting for even thinking that way. I tend to look at all my past memories as a type of an illusion made to make me believe in this three dimensional reality in a whole. When if you really spend a lot of time a recluse and in solitude and regress in your thoughts you realize that the only present reality is the present which is also a type of illusion because not even the most aware people are aware of the present moment or can do anything to stop the situation (the present) from taking place, like I think back for the past 6-8 months how little control I had of things actually playing out and stuff happened all around me sometimes up to like half a dozen separate issues to deal with on an hourly and daily and weekly basis.
For me, blogging has been insane, 21 to manage lol second life is insane -coming out with hundreds of products and uploading around a million images to the utter horror of the governance of SL lmao contesting takes 5 min-my twitter takes up as much time as blogging just endless retweeting and posting- my home life is safe and secure and stable and friendly.
cats are my two best friends
my family and friends life is almost non existent -were taught and engrained that being a loner and an introvert is wrong or bad along with being nocturnal and poor etc
nobody gets why I have a vendetta with an all male sex cult in my art and religion but to put it simply-their members or initiates targeted me from a very young age and some of the earliest memories I have are of sexual abuse and seeming strangers all inter connected through the timeline that have attempted to blackmail me, trick me, frame me, hurt me, and also they have attempted to give me HIV through a carrier that is also one of theirs along with being a character in the sims that made a lot of mistakes in which it was never my fault -I was pre diagnosis a bit insane pre medication and pre awareness-I was also heavily abused and under a lot of different drugs while my brain was still developing so for them to hate me so much does not make any sense at all
most people in my life start out okay and then something just shifts in them and they do something really horrible to me and I am expected to just forget the past and move on when I would never even think of doing something like that to anyone its like every single person you know is like in on it and bent as fuck
The only real solace I have is in my creativity and making a life for myself.
let it be.
left high school thinking I was 16 months away from being a commercial airline pilot. Instead, I walked away with $50,000 in debt, no license, and my life upside down. Right after high school, I enrolled in flight school. The pitch was perfect: • 16 months • Commercial airline track • CRJ-700 certification • FAA-approved simulators • “Fixed Rate Program” with clear pricing Even better—my biological father worked for Bombardier, the company that built the CRJ-700. I called him. He confirmed the school was legit. I was all in. My brother and I drove from California to Mesa, Arizona to check it out. ✔️ Planes ✔️ Facilities ✔️ Students ✔️ Housing Everything looked real. I was told to show up with clothes and financial aid paperwork. Done. Approved. Excited. I packed my car and drove straight to Arizona. Day one: my advisor was on vacation… and forgot to tell me. No big deal, they said. Everything was “set up.” Including my furnished apartment. I arrive… and there’s a guy on the couch. Surprise roommate. He wasn’t expecting me. I wasn’t expecting him. But he was further along in the program, so I figured—win. First week at school? Awesome. Flying daily. Learning nonstop. Grinding hard. Then one night I wake up… and my roommate is standing at the foot of my bed. Both startled. I moved out the next day. Turns out my financial aid hadn’t actually hit yet. I had no money. Family had to wire me cash just so I could eat. A classmate had a house and rented rooms. Two of us moved in. Aid finally hit. I was back on track. Or so I thought. Then came my first cross-country flight. Mesa → Tucson. Emergency landing. The plane wouldn’t restart. An FAA official was already at the airport. He inspected the plane. Then asked: • Where do you go to school? • Who authorized you to fly this aircraft? • Who can I call right now? I watched him go from confused… to frustrated… to angry. He was yelling on the phone: “I’m not letting a student wiggle a switch to get this plane back in the air.” He demanded the school retrieve me and the plane. While we waited, he told me something I’ll never forget: “You should never have been allowed to fly this aircraft in that condition.” 🚩 Red flag. But I was young. Locked in. Committed. I passed my written exam for my private pilot license. Next step: the in-air practical test with an FAA examiner. I show up ready. The school pulls me aside: “You can’t fly. Your account isn’t current.” What? My first license was $6,000. I had over $50,000 in loans. I request my statements. That’s when everything collapsed. I was being charged for: • Plane maintenance • Flights I never took • Aircraft I was never in Maintenance I wasn’t supposed to pay for—period. I assumed it was a mistake. It wasn’t. They dug in. Nothing changed. I “owed.” I left school at 18 years old: • $50,000+ in debt • No license • No job • No money • No plan My parents had co-signed. Payments were over $1,200/month. I spiraled. Hard. When I tuned 21, I cashed out the $1,400 investment account my grandparents left me. Hired a lawyer. We won. Judgment in my favor. The school disappeared. Declared bankruptcy. Seized student funds. Turns out: • The building was leased • The planes were leased • The owner had two companies He lost nothing. Still owned the planes. I called the student loan companies. They didn’t care. They wanted their money. Then I reached someone at Sallie Mae. A decision-maker. She listened… and laughed. Told me they had an army of lawyers. Said I’d pay eventually. That laugh changed everything. This wasn’t debt anymore. This was war. I couldn’t afford to pay and fight. So we made a plan. Stop paying. Document everything. Prepare for court. When they called, everyone was instructed to say: “Sue us.” They got aggressive. Harassment. Taking unauthorized payments from my account. Shaming through employers. Ten years later… Every dollar was forgiven. No payout. No apology. But I survived. I rebuilt my credit. I kept moving forward. I walked into that school a kid. I walked out a victim. Then a phone call turned me into an emotionless machine. If you’ve ever been crushed by a system that was “supposed” to work— you’re not alone. 👉 Fight or fold? What would you have done?
dunno what to say they kind of altered my path and criminality and allowed me to change my life around by discovering myself but they have serious involvement with organizations like eastern star womens freemasons and the teacher displayed a pen from lions club which is also a freemason thing but like when I tried to give dhamma service they refused me based on my mental illness even though I have been stable for over 20 years so who knows if you can get in or lie about being deranged have fun dont tell them anything about mental health they have no right to ask whatsoever in canada according to human rights laws

Health Canada has updated its policy this month to classify meat and dairy from cloned cattle and swine, as well as their offspring, as equivalent to conventional products, removing requirements for pre-market safety assessments and mandatory labeling. The decision followed a review of 2003 novel foods guidelines and 2024 public consultations, with the agency concluding these foods present no unique risks and are compositionally indistinguishable from traditional ones. While experts affirm safety, politicians and advocates express concerns about transparency and consumer choice, contrasting with the U.S.'s unlabeled allowance since 2008 and the EU's outright ban on animal cloning.

99% of society is (sex) -police- corporate military trades hazing the other 1% is janitors and hair stylists lmao if you do not get hazed you do not last long and end up on the streets as a drug addicted lunatic trying to bite yourself because you owe them $410,000 in student loans and a mortgage you just took out to get the corporate job that is run by a perverse masters in business admin that likes to breed endless office twink butt like urs with his freakishly large devil phallus
ur conspiracy theorist or guru should be spiritual reasonable and on some meds to help them with their trauma and not surrounded by people wanting to exploit their trauma there should be very little intrigue about them now and they should be trying to better themselves and using tools to help themselves and not going all over demanding the ICC arrest everyone tbh I dunno if a lot of these people are illusion or spouting weird delusions but i know my story is so out there and an urban legend that people would have a hard time dissecting it all since there is not a lot of proof just names and events like a lot of stuff that happened to people I just give people the benefit of the doubt that they have been through it all and I just pray that they have found methods to heal themselves over it and can actually help others honestly just naming tons of people that do not sue you for libel is proof enough I need given my own path most of my people are lesser known than his so yeah
if MJ was a pedo or whatever chances are they had him on some fucked up meds back then there is just a lot of energy his way at all times and he would be a target to Mk ultra when he is up 20 hours and all his reasoning goes out the window like I dunno there is the camp that is like he did it all and the camp like he did not and then there is the grey area like maybe a mixture of the two but a lot of it was not even his fault or even conceivable to us at a pleb level still he affected us all in some way and altered humanity I am not gonna be on the either or camp I kind of accept the fact he was a freemason and he was under a lot of mind control and satanic ritual abuse and I wanted to shine light on that all with my own being and person and kind of be 2.0 in a totally different sense in a totally different modality and method like you can be as famous as him online but never step foot out of your room if you can imagine lol I dont want to make it sound like I am pro pedo or pro abuse cause he had a lot of money or that I fully support him without even knowing him like most people out there I just accept there is a lot more to this whole thing bushes time (pubic bush) was as scary as now too politics wise but I was just a 20 year old twink oblivious to it all I just know I contributed to his death and ritual murder by the freemasons and SKUK and bones closet case death cult cause I tried reaching him via directory assistance in his zip code as a pre twink to runaway from home and be with him so a lot of abused youth were trying to contact him at that time I guess the moral to the story is that if the person you are investing your energy in talent wise does not work to better themselves or whatever like just do your own thing stop cutting out thousands of pictures of their face to keep for later lmao

It’s telling that the US is willing to pay an estimated $891.4 million dollars PER DAY in ongoing attack on Iran, but refuses to shelter Americans, or provide them with free healthcare & education. This is not just a war against Iran, it’s a clear declaration of war against Americans. The US administration is and has been denying Americans right to political engagement and clamping down on dissent to appease and benefit warlords & death cults. Emphasizing what we all already knew, Pentagon made it very clear that there was no sign Iran was going to strike first. The US is conducting a mass slaughter with Israel in Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine and using Iran as a scapegoat. The US cannot claim to be supporting Iranians for freedom when Trump sent armed forces against Americans, greenlighted their murder, put children in cages, mass imprisoned American men because of their race— and continues to oppress the Indigenous people of America. It’s really twisted times we are witnessing.

Trump is facing increasing criticism for his administration’s response to the virus. The president criticises the previous administration in an interview with TV network Fox News, saying the Obama administration “didn’t do anything about” swine flu.
Note: Politifact rated the claim false, citing two emergency declarations and billions in spending from the Obama administration.
March 11: Trump bans travel from Europe, promises free treatment
The president announces a ban on travel from Europe, which is seeing a marked increase in cases – specifically in Italy and Spain – to the US during a national address from the Oval Office. The ban does not apply to US citizens. The ban only includes the 26 Schengen countries. The UK and Ireland are not included, and US citizens are exempt.
Note: Less than a week later officials announced that the ban would be expanded to the UK and Ireland.
Markets react with worry, as Trump suggests cargo would also be subject to the ban, though this is not the case.
Trump also states during the address that health insurance providers promised to waive all copays for coronavirus treatment. In reality, only testing would be free.
March 13: National emergency declaration
Trump declares a national emergency, granting access to $50bn in funding for US states and territories. The move allows for waivers for doctors and hospitals in their response to the virus.
Trump says the US will increase testing capacity, but warns against those without symptoms being tested.
“It’s totally unnecessary,” Trump said. “This will pass.”
March 17: Trump asks workforce to stay home, says he’s always known it was a pandemic
During a news conference, Trump asks “everyone to work at home, if possible, postpone unnecessary travel, and limit social gatherings to no more than 10 people”.
That same day, Trump states he has “always known this is a real, this is a pandemic. I’ve felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic”.
Note: The World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a pandemic on March 11. Trump had previously stated in February the heat could limit the spread of the virus and make it “go away” by April.
March 22: Fauci says he can’t ‘jump in front’ of Trump
As weariness over unverifiable Trump claims continues, Dr Fauci tells Science magazine in an interview that he “can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down. OK, he said it. Let’s try and get it corrected for the next time.”
When asked how he is avoiding being fired, Fauci says that even though he disagrees with Trump “on some things, he listens. He goes his own way.”
March 24: Trump says he wants country to open by April 12
After tweeting that the “cure” cannot be “worse than the problem itself” as the US economy falters, Trump says on Fox News he would “love to have the country opened up, and just raring to go by Easter”.
Medical experts, including Dr Fauci, have told the media that the virus decides the timeline of a return to normalcy.
“The president clearly listens. I mean, he has this aspirational goal of hoping that we might be able to do it by a certain date. We talked with him about that. We say we need to be flexible. He realises that and he accepts that,” Fauci tells Fox News.

March 27: Trump signs $2.2 trillion emergency spending bill
The House and Senate pass the largest bill in US history, which is then signed by Trump. The bill gives up to $1,200 per individual and $500 per child for households making up to $150,000 a year, though caveats and limitations apply to individuals.
Small businesses are given access to over $377bn in loans that can be forgiven and corporations, state and local governments are given access to $454bn. The healthcare industry is given access to $180bn.
March 30: Trump says administration inherited ‘broken test’ as cases soar
Confirmed cases of the coronavirus top 160,000 by the end of March. Healthcare workers and authorities across the country bemoan the lack of testing.
Trump falsely tells Fox News his administration “inherited a broken test” for COVID-19.
Note: The DNA sequence for the novel coronavirus was not shared by China until January 7, 2020, almost three years after Trump was inaugurated.
Tests created in the US shipped during the early days of the crisis in the country contained tainted reagents, a component added to tests to create chemical reactions.
Trump tells the nation to prepare for “hard days”.
April 2: 6.6 million workers file for unemployment
The US sets a record for single-week unemployment benefits claims as the economy continues to crash due to stay-at-home measures across the US, according to the US Department of Labor.
Worries increase that many businesses will close and a housing crisis could emerge from an inability to pay rent across the country.
April 3: Cloth masks recommended
Trump announces that his administration is recommending people wear nonmedical cloth masks to help contain the spread of the coronavirus, contradicting weeks of claims from administration officials that masks may not help.
The measure is voluntary. Trump says at a news briefing he does not see himself partaking.
“I don’t think I’m going to be doing it,” Trump says, citing difficulty when meeting world leaders: “Wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens – I just don’t see it.”
Note: It was unclear which world leaders he was referring to since most are adhering to social distancing guidelines and are not travelling.
The recommendation reportedly came after weeks of heated debate inside the administration, according to reports.
Fauci previously said on March 3 that masks could help, but would not provide protection people hoped.
“If everybody does that, we’re each protecting each other,” Fauci says in an interview with PBS after the recommendation is made.
April 4, 5: Trump pushes hydroxychloroquine
Trump says in two successive news briefings that US citizens should try an unproven anti-malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine, to treat COVID-19.
“Take it. What do you have to lose?” Trump asks on Saturday, suggesting he might do so himself after asking “my doctors”.
Trump says the following day there’s no time “to take a couple years” to test the drug’s potency against COVID-19.
Note: Evidence at this time was anecdotal. There were reports that misuse of the treatment can be fatal.
Fauci tells TV network CBS that “In terms of science, I don’t think we can definitively say it works.”
“The data are really just at best suggestive,” Fauci says. “There have been cases that show there may be an effect and there are others to show there’s no effect.”
April 7: Trump claims testing increase
“We have now done 1,790,000 tests nationwide,” Trump says during a news briefing.

“That’s more than any other country in the world, hence, we have more cases. And that number is growing by nearly 125,000 people per day. Think of that one. So, it’s growing by 125,000 people per day.”
Note: Actually, testing averaged 147,000 a day in that period, according to reporting from the Washington Post newspaper. The US was also lagging behind other countries in terms of testing per capita.
April 13: Trump claims ‘total’ authority over governors on openings, tensions with Fauci
Rumours swirl that Trump will fire Fauci after the president retweeted a tweet with the hashtag #FireFauci.
The tweet came after Fauci said prevention efforts would have saved more lives. Fauci told TV network CNN that social distancing and other measures “could have saved more lives”.
But he added it was “very difficult to go back and say that” and the process of deciding whether to impose early restrictions was “complicated”.
Fauci says on April 13 it was a “poor choice of words”. The White House also says Trump is not firing the top scientist.
As states begin to see a stabilisation in infection rates, governors cautiously discuss reopening their states.
Trump clashes with governors, including New York’s Andrew Cuomo, on who has final say on the issue.
Trump says he has “total” authority on when the country reopens.
Note: Trump’s claim of total authority was not true. While the executive branch is granted some powers during times of emergency, even those powers have limits. The US constitution also gives public health and safety responsibilities primarily to state and local officials within their own jurisdictions.
Governors push back on Trump’s assertion, saying it was “factually wrong” and accusing the president of “spoiling for a fight on this issue”.
While authorities are hopeful the US can return to normal, Fauci and other medical experts expect to see little before a vaccine is created. The NIH head says he hopes to see a real degree of normality by November.
April 16: Trump, CDC issue guidelines to states for reopening businesses, local economies
Trump issues guidelines developed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that offer states a phased approach to reopening their economies based on reductions in COVID-19 cases.
The plan envisions gradual reopenings in two-week phases as the numbers of COVID-19 infections continue to fall.
The White House strategy places responsibility for testing and tracing, and hospital capacity on states and leaves to governors the decision-making on when and how to reopen.
Note: The new White House policy is a reversal of Trump’s earlier claim of total authority to order states to reopen. Critics say reopening under the proposed conditions means risking new waves of infection.
April 22: Trump signs executive order restricting some green cards
Trump announces he has signed an executive order imposing restructions on some seeking green cards for permanent residency in the US in order to protect Americans seeking jobs.
Unemployment in the US has surged because of the economic shutdown to slow the spread of the coronavirus. More than 26 million Americans have lost jobs.
The new order will last for 60 days but does not apply to individuals entering the US on a temporary basis such as agricultural “guest workers”.
It also does not apply to those already in the US seeking to adjust their status. Other exemptions apply.
Trump says he will consider renewing the order for another 60 days or longer depending on economic conditions.
Note: Critics of the president’s anti-immigration policies say he is just using the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to impose restrictions that have little bearing on the health crisis. Research prior to the pandemic showed that more immigration actually led to job growth.
