The latest issue of The Nation has a long, detailed, perfectly appalling story called "How Jeffrey Epstein Captivated Harvard." I cannot give a link to it because in this case I actually read it from a real physical copy held in my hand – very retro. If you have nothing better to do while you are waiting for the next round of indictments to come down, it is worth a read.

Chilean journalist tortured in "democratic Ukraine" for writing articles which criticize Zelenski. In Spanish, but I thought it was worth diffusing for the hawks in this blog.
As the song goes, one, two, three, four, what are we fighting for?

s.w., here are a few of this guys Tweets:
"He’s absolutely right, climate change is a scam.
I learned this in the work I did in renewable energies.
And it’s confirmed by where rich people and banks put their money.
They would never buy—or finance—beachfront property if global warming were true."
"People 200 years from now will regard as barbaric the practice of listening to fools claim that eating meat is bad, climate change is real, and children should be medically transitioned. The last especially will be put in the same category as lobotomies and human sacrifice."
"He is absolutely right: American foreign policy is all about “exporting values”—abortion, unfettered third world immigration, LGBTQP+ degeneracy—instead of building, fomenting and maintaining friendships and alliances. Kudos to @JDVance1."
"And the US State Department would return me too. I'm not a black lesbian druggie, or a transgender grifter. Besides, Victoria Nuland hates my guts, or so I'm told. I'm hoping the Hungarians will read my indictment and say, 'This is bullshit—we’re not sending him back.'"
I also see that he's followed by Rod Dreher. Too many red flags to accept anything he writes without corroboration. Dude is way far down the horseshoe.
On a happier note, it seems we have four more indictments for Donnie Two Scoops. D.C. grand jury this time.
He's a climate change denier.
So they should torture him?

s.w., of course not but you miss my point. The guy seems on the far right with an obvious agenda. Why would you take anything he writes at face value? He may or may not have been roughed up in jail. He also seems to have motored across Ukraine after posting bail and claims to seek asylum in Hungary. Neither you nor I know for sure what the actual story is.
All the mainstream Chilean media run the story. I gather that they know who he is and find his story to be credible.
Google "periodista chileno torturado ucrania" in Google Spanish and you'll see that.
By the way, they all refer to him as a "periodista", that is, a journalist.
Interrupting for a moment to change the subject to Trump's indictment--his case has been assigned to District Court Judge Tanya Chutkann, an Obama appointee, and so far the only judge who has given Jan. 6 defendants sentences LONGER than the government requested. I love it!
Now back to the topic of this thread....
I dug a bit and I now remember the arrest when it happened - the SBU filmed and released it. Film maker, blogger, dating coach - dude's a character, a few cards short.

I tried to explain on a war blog of pro-Ukrainians that Yevgeny Prigozhin & Wagner might of used the March on Moscow as a ruse to get Wagner into Belarus so no one believes they'll descend on Kiev again, in the not so distant future, without making the mistakes the Russian Army made last time they descended on Kiev.
Man were a lot of them hostile! Many believed it would be impossible for their enemies to descend on Kiev a second time and win. I told them that Yevgeny Prigozhin could go to many prisons in Belarus and use the men there to fill the ranks of Wagner Divisions.
The Russians made the mistake of taking their mechanized units & quickly descending on Kiev where their columns were prey to Ukrainian scouts & their Western missiles. What Russia might do to win the next invasion would be to slowly sweep the land of Ukrainian scouts by slowly advancing with infantry divisions in the fore as their mechanized units & supply trucks follow in their rear. Plus, Russia now has air superiority over Ukraine so Wagner infantry have less to worry concerning Ukrainian retaliation from the air. Although two bloggers didn't believe Russia had air superiority over Ukraine. I was trying to warn the Ukrainians about Wagner descending from Belarus in the north and they basically blew me off.
aaall,
This guy's an eccentric, a weirdo.
I'm an eccentric too, although my eccentricities are radically different than his. In fact, no two eccentrics are the same.
I may be wrong but I see you as a fellow eccentric.
I feel a certain solidarity with my fellow eccentrics, maybe at heart it's the deepest sense of solidarity that moves me.
Maybe you don't feel that sense of solidarity, but as I said above, no two eccentrics are the same.
s.w., eccentricity should be a second order consideration, when the stakes are high. An eccentric fascist is still a fascist. He seems more a red-pilled fellow traveler but still...
aaall,
Never met an eccentric fascist. Fascism is a defense mechanism against autonomy/eccentricity.
Have met some eccentric rightwing libertarians, probably this character is one of them.
Libertarians aren't fascists, except in politically correct leftie rhetoric.

How Jeffrey Epstein Captivated Harvard
I have no idea what happened with this fucking thread, are people off their meds. Sorry for the profanity, I don't think profanity is clever, I am using it for emphasis shitheads.
I wonder if I am being sufficiently clear about what I'm objecting to -- I see the comments to the thread, from like what, three people? Nothing though, that grapples with the original post from Wolff. Nor is it clear what it is even grappling with. Wolff is talking about reading the Nation, about an article by Michael Massing, who is an American writer based in New York City. He is a former executive editor of the Columbia Journalism Review. Not interested? I can grasp not being interested. Want to digress? I can relate. I think my point can be stated in terms of how very very *extreme* is the phenomenon here of everything in the thread being not related to the subject at hand. This is one might say, 'rude', but I am seriously concerned about psychotic tendencies here. it's RELENTLESS CRAZY, people, get a grip.

Note, this is off-topic, but not really to the degree that I mean to categorize with the rest as being RELENLESS CRAZY. I have no actual rules in mind about staying on topic, actually, I'm just distracted by the fact of what is happening here, what do we take ourselves to be doing, people? What is this blog for? It's for what Wolff thinks it is for. I am not the police of blogging, I know that everybody on the internez is an idiot, and that therefore all blogs are for indiots. I cannot understand the indefatigable idiocy here, as something that actually goes beyond. I wish I could bottle it. Are you people as dumb as this? REALLY? Get a grip.
It's okay to ban Comment Spam and Trolls. Can we ban trolls now? I suppose you might think on this as a representive sort of issue -- there is maybe, such a thing as a slippery slope that might lead to bans that are too eager. A liberal does not believe that banning trolls works? I'm not that primitive and doctrinair as some people that I can even understand the appeal of Marxism, so we can disagree there. You want anarchy, I don't actually mind, but let's be doing what we take ourselves to be doing.
A relevant comment thread -- I am sick for things I have never experienced, or which I am incapable of experiencing.
I have known several quite guileless true-belicvcrs, often quite gifted people.
The pattern of what I am attempting to describe, looks like a mental health condition.
These comments that I critidize, are aloof, blunted, isolated, disengaged, and distant. What is it that this activity illustrates? It requires evaluation and management.
Never mind others' alleged issues -- are you feeling OK yourself?
