My love,
On this Valentine’s Day, I want you to know that loving you is the most beautiful story my heart has ever learned to tell. You came into my life like a quiet sunrise soft at first, then suddenly everything was brighter, warmer, and full of meaning. Image
Since then, every ordinary moment has turned into poetry, and every breath I take seems to whisper your name.
You are my favorite thought in the morning and my last prayer at night. In your smile, I find peace. In your voice, I find home. Image
Image
Even when the world feels heavy, your love becomes my shelter, reminding me that I am never alone as long as I walk beside you. Image

The House just passed the SAVE America Act for the third year running. It would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. At least 21 million U.S. citizens don't even have driver's licenses, let alone passports or birth certificates. (thread) Image
The bill targets a problem that barely exists. Noncitizen voting in federal elections is extraordinarily rare. Meanwhile, the ID requirements would create real barriers for low-income and minority communities where these documents are harder to obtain.
Here's the constitutional wrinkle: the Constitution gives states, not Congress, the power to set voter eligibility. The Supreme Court said exactly this in Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council (2013). Congress can regulate election procedures, but not who qualifies to vote.

We built Jikipedia, a new wiki that compiles Jmail data into exhaustive reports on key figures in the Epstein scandal.

It lists all recorded visits to Epstein's estates, each person's possible knowledge of Epstein's crimes and laws that they may have violated.

Here is Epstein's executive assistant, who sent >100k emails to him and was shielded from prison via a 2007 non-prosecution deal.Image

The wiki cites US codes that people may be have been breaking as seen in the Jmail record.

We believe that the US government has a responsibility to fully investigate the people implicated by these files. jmail.world/wikiImage
Articles will be regenerated as more data gets extracted, like Epstein's text messages and Calendar events. Thanks to Jmail contributor @bearablylight for building.

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.

Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* zines:
zinelibrary.org
There's tons I've no doubt missed but, while I've tried to make it representative of every branch, I did have some broad limiting filters:

1) PDFs must be imposed.
2) PDFs must not be ugly.

Which largely excludes bad scans and lazy layouts. But some exceptions were made.
Any honest attempt at a comprehensive library representative of the whole movement requires toleration, so @ ing me about how X is problematic probably won't prompt a removal. But there ARE of course boundaries, eg no Ted K, ITS, national-anarchists, etc

“THE PLACEBO EFFECT: WHAT'S INTERESTING FOR SCHOLARS OF RELIGION? (June 2011)

by Anne Harrington” 🤔

What were the true goals of the people channeling money through Jeffrey Epstein to fund Anne Harrington’s research on the placebo effect?

1/~10 🧵

zygonjournal.org/article/13878/… x.com/franklin_reede…Image
Jeffrey Epstein made the extraordinary claim that “Ted, as you may know, I funded the Placebo work, with AnnHarrington (sp.) probably fifteen years ago.”

It came after an introduction (made by Woodson Merrell) to Ted Kaptchuk of Harvard in Nov 2010.

Only 1 year after being introduced to Jeffrey Epstein, Ted Kaptchuk’s work on the placebo effect was featured in the New Yorker in “The Power of Nothing” by Michael Specter. 🤔

The article is in the Epstein files.

Last year, it was HB25-1312 which threatened all Coloradans who did not go along with transgender madness.

This year it is SB26-018 given the Orwellian title "Legal Protections for Dignity of Minors." 1/
This is worse. If passed, any parent who chooses to affirm biological reality would be viewed as dangerous or abusive under Colorado law. 2/
This bill revives and expands last year’s threat by forcing judges to consider whether a parent “affirms” a child’s gender identity when determining custody. 3/

BRAZIL 1 GERMANY 7 - THE DAY BRAZIL DIED 🇧🇷

Was speaking with Brazilian friend, talking about the ‘decline’ of Brazil - ‘decline’ as in Brazil’s fall from the cool ‘Girl from Ipanema’, ‘Oscar Niemeyer’, ‘Chico Buarque’ mid C20th Brazil to the Brazil it is today. ‘Decline’ in the sense of increased crime, favelisation, inequality, decreased soft power, freedom of speech etc

Accepting that framing he said a lot of change started with the incompetence of the ‘Retard Right’ military dictatorship but crystallises with the New Republic, especially under the Worker’s Party - really institutionalised Third Worldism so-called. Coming up to 40 years now of various kinds of left policies

I said is there a symbolic moment for that. He thought about it and said maybe the 2014 Brazilian World Cup

You may or may not remember… this was one of the most shocking results ever - Brazil was destroyed 7–1 by Germany in Belo Horizonte, a humiliating defeat and the worst in World Cup history for Brazil. It ended their campaign on home soil and became a symbol of national trauma

I remember watching this game and I am not even particularly big on football, had not been to Brazil in 2014 either. Was in Morocco at the time. Morocco has a big milling culture where people will just sit around on plastic chairs on the streets. Because it was the World Cup large groups of people would gather outside cafes or restaurants or houses where someone had a TV to watch the matches whenever they were on. So you would just be out walking around the cities and there were enough screens set up that you could follow the progress of pretty much every match. If there was an especially exciting goal scored you would hear cheers from down the street

8 July 2014 - the infamous Germany Brazil match. Just on the street and suddenly Germany score. And then they score again. And again. Moroccans were starting to pull off from their usual business and watch the screens. Was that dramatic - sounds like an exaggeration but really was like a movie, people stopped what they were doing to watch. I got really hooked at that point too, remember it vividly

And Germany just kept going and going. Teutonic mechanised precision, repeatedly slamming the ball into the goal. Watching it at the time really it just felt like watching someone get raped, some of the Moroccans you could tell felt like this too - looking at each other and shaking their heads. Was a sense someone needed to intervene, we were watching an entire nation die on screen

My Brazilian friend:

“I think in the 60s Brazil had a good balance. It was kind of a mystical Latino country, in the creative sweet spot inbetween Northern European Protestantism and African… what could you say… between the Apollonian and the Dionysian”

“Haha. And that changed as the government got more Third Worldist so-called?”

“You know we had some nice pardo players before, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Pele was black… this was fine, good actually but then it was like… it became too Africanised. The country became too Africanised - I mean in the sense of disordered. Politically, demographically, culturally… the standards dropped. The best football players in the world today, Messi, Ronaldo they’re Latino”

“You mean it lost that kind of Latino flair? In Spanish they say ‘Duende’, means like Latin flair and passionate intensity” [Don’t know Portuguese equivalent, maybe ‘Alma’]

“Maybe, yes. Was like there was no magic anymore. It gets replaced with… the disorganised mess of favela culture. Sure it has some ‘soul’ in a way but it’s chaotic, can’t coordinate. Brazil at the time, it was really putting its entire transforming national identity behind that team. Ok we’re a new more egalitarian Brazil not the elitist ‘Girl from Ipanema’ white European-coded Brazil we used to be. This is the new Brazil of the Pardo. You can look at the ethnic make-up of Brazilian teams over time, it changes… And then the German machinery sweeps in and obliterates it”Image
The real struggle for Brazil now is whether it can overcome Lula’s PT-Reich

This trans-identified man stabbed his 8-year-old daughter in the throat, severing her esophagus.

He also stabbed his 7-year-old boy.

His daughter required a feeding tube for months but a judge let him out on bail, pending sentencing.

He is currently roaming the streets of BC and Alberta, living in a minivan with “Every Child Matters” painted on the outside.

If you see him, stay far away. He admits he is extremely unstable, and a danger to society.

His name is Alice Michael Atwood.
This is his van, spotted in Calgary a few days ago. Image
The Canadian government and judiciary are beyond shame.

How is this real life? How is he free?
