Manyremoveds record theirremoveds. Just because he's a billionaireremoved doesn't mean he's CIA. It just means he can do it at scale and without consequence. If you look at all the evidence to why Epstein was suspected of being CIA you'll note that the exact opposite is true for Diddy:

  • Epstein was not independently wealthy. His money came from billionaire investors, and ex OSS agents. Diddy owns his own record label and is independently wealthy. Heremoveds people because he is his own boss and no one could tell him no.
  • Epstein's clients were wealthier than him and internationally important. Diddy's guests were other celebrities, people below him and not of any real political importance.
  • Epstein has numerous known connections to intelligence services. Diddy has none.

Edit: what word am I supposed to use to discus this topic? Esp for the '-ists'

The black music scene is relatively opaque. There has long been speculation that black music has been an area of influence for political actors to influence the apartheid regime. There's a relatively recent interview wherein an artist claims that the lyrics and song selections were steered towards violent crime by record company execs who had large financial interests in the prison system. The drug trade, that the CIA relies on so heavily, has a strong dependency on the apartheid regime and the behaviors of ghettoized subcultures.

I agree, it's not the same situation as Epstein, but between the compramat factory, the murders, the constant references to Illuminati, etc, and now suicide watch, it reads a lot like a long running op.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
