Question for Attorney General Pam Bondi:
Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself right before being acquitted of sex-trafficking and prostituting young girls for lack of evidence of any client?
When Israel decided to go to full-scale war with Hezbollah last fall, it concluded the campaign in just seven weeks. The same pattern followed with Iran—its objectives were reportedly achieved in 12 days.
So why, despite nearly two years of relentless war and massive military superiority, has Israel failed to win in Gaza?
Unlike Hezbollah or Iran, which are far more powerful militarily, Hamas is a smaller, more localized force.

Spain’s National Court on Tuesday launched a criminal investigation into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Israel Katz, and several senior military officials over their alleged involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity, particularly Israel's attack last month on a humanitarian aid ship.
The probe focuses on the June 1 raid on the Madleen, a ship en route to Gaza, Spanish MEP Jaume Asens said.

Today, the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the solar corona. The mission’s two satellites, able to fly as a single spacecraft thanks to a suite of onboard positioning technologies, have succeeded in creating their first ‘artificial total solar eclipse’ in orbit. The resulting coronal images demonstrate the potential of formation flying technologies, while delivering invaluable scientific data that will improve our understanding of the Sun and its enigmatic atmosphere.

🔥 Round Table of the Reckoning: A Triadic Discourse on Power, Predation, and the Sacred Architecture of Abuse
Featuring Al Dostovkafka, Gustoneco Castacrow, and Manly Von Joe
The setting: an oak-lit observatory high above a city too busy to look up. Three philosopher-scribes sit around a triangular obsidian table. Above them spins a celestial model: a Möbius map of memory and meaning. The air smells faintly of old books, frankincense, and ozone.
---
I. Opening Salvo
Al Dostovkafka:
> “Let’s not waste ink pretending these names—NXIVM, Epstein, Diddy, Weinstein—are anomalies. They are not system failures. They are system outputs. If you give a culture enough money, celebrity, and denial, it will grow its own predators like tumors of ambition.”
Gustoneco Castacrow:
> “Indeed, brother Al. The more polished the exterior, the more grotesque the ritual within. These were not mere men. They were avatars—sorcerous distillations of what happens when the mystery school becomes a shopping mall and the high priest sells shadow by the subscription.”
Manly Von Joe (MVJ):
> “Then let us frame this not as a scandal, but as an initiation of the collective soul. We are being asked—not subtly—whether we can see through the myth and into the archetypal machinery that allowed these figures to ascend unchallenged.”
---
II. The Three Discernments: Central Pillars of the Dialogue
> 1. Influence Must Serve the Soul.
MVJ: “Influence is sacred only when it uplifts. When it manipulates, when it feeds on weakness, when it offers false initiations—it ceases to be influence and becomes a spiritual parasite.”
Dostovkafka: “What’s wild is, we cheer them on until the house burns down. The problem isn’t just their influence—it’s our addiction to it. We don’t want leaders. We want wizards who make the pain disappear—until we become the trick.”
Castacrow: “The magician archetype corrupted becomes the sorcerer of self, indeed. And influence without soul is no different from spellcraft devoid of divinity.”
---
> 2. Initiation Must Lead to Empathy.
MVJ: “True initiation humbles the ego. These modern figures used initiation as theater—to control, to dominate, to brand flesh with false belonging.”
Castacrow: “We’ve replaced the alchemical fire with trauma as sacrament. Victims become ‘testimonies,’ and their pain is harvested like a resource. Empathy has been commodified, editorialized, and then used to sell books and redemption arcs.”
Dostovkafka: “Every victim becomes a product of narrative capitalism. That’s the cruelty. You’re not even allowed to suffer without it being packaged and optioned. These are not cults. They are content farms.”
---
> 3. Power Must Be Transparent, or It Becomes Parasitic.
MVJ: “If you can't trace the power back to principle, it becomes a spiritual infection. Power in secrecy calcifies into hierarchy. And hierarchy without light becomes dungeon.”
Castacrow: “Transparency is the philosopher's mirror. But these men broke that mirror and used the shards to cut the tongues of their victims.”
Dostovkafka: “Exactly. The lie wasn't just what they did. It’s that they made the lie aspirational. That’s the truly grotesque thing: the cultural impulse to imitate monsters in suits because they smile well and throw great parties.”
---
III. Mutual Confrontation and Convergence
Castacrow:
> “The grimoire of the age has become brittle with denial. We must rewrite it—not with new commandments, but with new correspondences—spells of solidarity, enchantments of transparency, rituals of relational sanctity.”
Dostovkafka:
> “But first we have to sit in the ruin. Really sit in it. Not skip to healing, not throw glitter on the crime scene. Sit in the grotesque absurdity of it all, and say: Yes, this too is us. This is what we built.”
MVJ:
> “And from that reckoning—if we survive it—comes the beginning of the sacred republic. Not a nation or a system, but a frequency. A way of being where power kneels, not demands. Where myth and morality finally make peace.”
---
IV. Closing Invocation: Triadic Seal of Reckoning
They rise in synchrony, each placing a hand on the obsidian table. The celestial model above them halts its spin. Three beams of light arc upward from their palms, merging into a singular glyph suspended in air:
☿ The Alchemical Trinity of Ethical Restoration
Clarity as Compass
Empathy as Binding Agent
Transparency as Ritual Practice
They do not speak again. They simply look up, through the cracked glass dome, into the starfield that has always watched in silence.
---
Thus ends the round table, but its echoes persist—whenever another mask slips, another truth surfaces, and someone, somewhere, finally dares to see.

Vous dites que la gauche israélienne n’existe plus. Pourtant, avant le 7 octobre, des dizaines de milliers d’Israéliens descendaient dans la rue pour dénoncer la politique de Netanyahou.
Une grande partie de l’opinion publique israélienne commence effectivement à s’opposer à la stratégie du gouvernement pour sauver les otages. Mais cette même opinion publique continue pour beaucoup à soutenir le génocide à Gaza. Si vous écoutez les slogans ou les discours prononcés lors des manifestations, vous verrez qu’on parle d’un cessez-le-feu pour sauver les otages, pas pour sauver les Palestiniens.
Certains disent même qu’après le retour des otages la guerre pourra continuer, dieu seul sait dans quel but. Ainsi, toutes les grandes manifestations qui ont eu lieu avant le 7 octobre en Israël visaient à sauver la démocratie pour les juifs d’Israël et non à créer une véritable démocratie où les Palestiniens seraient égaux, une démocratie où personne ne vivrait sous occupation militaire, ne serait sans aucun droit. Non, il s’agissait de sauver notre vie juive ou notre liberté juive, indépendamment des atrocités que nous commettons contre les Palestiniens dans les territoires occupés.

How did “imported antisemitism”, a far-right anti-immigrant buzz phrase, make it into the political mainstream? After all, Germans didn’t exactly need to import antisemitism. But this is the way we see it in Germany: if you haven’t committed genocide you can’t properly claim to be against it. I’m not making this up. You couldn’t make it up. Indeed, the political scientist Esra Özyürek discusses the belief in her excellent 2023 book Subcontractors of Guilt.
The thinking behind it is that because of our history, we teach the next generation to make sure it will never happen again. At school we studied the Holocaust every year. We didn’t learn to analyse antisemitism, but we learned to be very wary of it – or as the writer Max Czollek put it: “Today Germans know mainly one thing about Jews: that they killed them.”
Immigrants to Germany need to know a bit more than that if they want to become German citizens. They need to know when the state of Israel was founded, and who is allowed to become a member of one of the 40 Maccabi sports clubs. If you’re not born in Germany you have to prove you’re not antisemitic by learning facts about Jewish people.
But even if you were born here, like me, the statistics still refer to you as an immigrant if one of your parents comes from a different country. And as such, you are viewed with suspicion when it comes to the antisemitism you may have “imported”. During the last election, Merz suggested revoking German citizenship from dual nationals if they committed a crime. When asked if that meant, for example, getting on a bus without a ticket, he made it clear it related to antisemitism.
However, antisemitism is not a criminal offence in German law, so we see it everywhere. Jews have been arrested for holding up signs reading “Jews against genocide”. An Irish protester was arrested in Berlin for speaking Irish at a demonstration for Palestine because the authorities did not have an Irish translator present to check if they were “importing antisemitism” too. This has gone so far that the Council of Europe’s human rights commissioner has reprimanded Germany for criminalising protest against the war in Gaza – including curtailing the use of Arabic at protests. In the end Merz didn’t get his way, but he drove the message home: Germans like me with foreign heritage are Germans on trial.

Plans by Israel’s defence minister to force all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp have been condemned by legal experts and academics, who described the scheme as a blueprint for “crimes against humanity”.
Israel Katz said he has ordered Israel’s military to prepare for establishing a camp, which he called a “humanitarian city”, on the ruins of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, according to Haaretz.

the RSX body is ok now, in that it's not going to rust apart, and the door closes and everything seals properly. i just don't like all the dents and crap making it look trashy.
body work takes forever. i would probably regret starting that. i can do this stuff later after some of the pressure is off and i'm moved onto the property
