2024.05.15 20:11 kittenofd00m What is this JavaScript calling?
As a rank beginner to JavaScript, I am trying to figure out what the getQuote() function is calling. This code is on a form submission page for a vacation rental website. I got it from the page source because the JavaScript is embedded in some PHP file and this was the only way I could find the offending code.
I haven't figured out how to step through this code while it is running (because most of it is JavaScript within PHP tags and PHPStorm cannot handle breakpoints on PHP and JavaScript in the same file). I need to see what is getting passed in and to where (exactly) so I can do further troubleshooting on the PHP side of things.
Then, if all is well there, I need to be able to follow the data as it comes back and goes through the JavaScript.
< script > jQuery(document).ready(function() { var termsActivator = jQuery('#abe-terms-activator'); var termsClose = jQuery('.abe-terms-close'); termsActivator.on('click', function() { jQuery('.abe-terms').toggle(); return false; }); termsClose.on('click', function() { jQuery('.abe-terms').toggle(); }); // Apply promocode if (jQuery('.abe-apply-promo').length > 0) { var promoActivator = jQuery('.abe-apply-promo'); promoActivator.on('click', function() { getQuote(); }); } // Quote on adults/children change jQuery('select[name="booking[adults]"]').change(function() { getQuote(); }); jQuery('select[name="booking[pets]"]').change(function() { getQuote(); }); jQuery('select[name="booking[children]"]').change(function() { getQuote(); }); jQuery('input[type=radio][name="booking[acceptinsurance]"]').change(function() { getQuote(); }); // Any element with class addOn will trigger a new quote jQuery('.addOn').change(function() { getQuote(); }); function getQuote() { var promoCode = jQuery('input[name="booking[PromoCode]"]').val(); jQuery.post(url_paths.site_url + "/?vrpjax=1&act=checkavailability&par=1", jQuery("#vrpbookform") .serialize(), function(data) { var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(data); var response = ""; var bookInfoTable = jQuery('.abe-ratebreakdown > table > tbody'); if (!obj.Error) { // Charges jQuery.each(obj.Charges, function(c, v) { if (!v.Description.includes("Tax")) { response += ` ${v.Description} | \$${addCommas(parseFloat(v.Amount).toFixed(2))} |
`; } }); // Taxes if ('TotalTax' in obj) { response += ` Tax: | \$${addCommas(parseFloat(obj.TotalTax).toFixed(2))} |
`; } var insChecked = jQuery('input[type=radio][name="booking[acceptinsurance]"]:checked') .val(); if (jQuery('input[type=radio][name="booking[acceptinsurance]"]').is(':checked')) { if (insChecked == 1) { response += ` Travel Insurance: | \$${addCommas(parseFloat(obj.InsuranceAmount).toFixed(2))} |
`; } }; // Promocode Discount console.log(obj.PromoCodeDiscount.value); if ('PromoCodeDiscount' in obj && obj.PromoCodeDiscount.text != '') { response += ` Promo Code Discount: ${obj.PromoCodeDiscount.text} | -\$${addCommas(parseFloat(obj.PromoCodeDiscount.value).toFixed(2))} |
`; } // Reservation Total if ('TotalCost' in obj) { jQuery('input[name="booking[TotalCost]"]').val(obj.TotalCost); if (insChecked == 1) { response += ` Reservation Total: | \$${addCommas(parseFloat(parseFloat(obj.TotalCost) + parseFloat(obj.InsuranceAmount)).toFixed(2))} |
`; // Total Due Now if ('DueToday' in obj) { response += ` Total Due Now: | \$${addCommas(parseFloat(parseFloat(obj.DueToday) + parseFloat(obj.InsuranceAmount)).toFixed(2))} |
`; } } else { response += ` Reservation Total: | \$${addCommas(parseFloat(obj.TotalCost).toFixed(2))} |
`; // Total Due Now if ('DueToday' in obj) { response += ` Total Due Now: | \$${addCommas(parseFloat(obj.DueToday).toFixed(2))} |
`; } } } bookInfoTable.html(response); } else { alert(`Notice: ${obj.Error}`); } }); } }); < /script>
Searching this codebase can be confusing (for me anyways).
The original developers took an entire directory, copied it and placed in inside another folder in the copied directory.
The code is dupliocated THREE times in this codebase -
https://i.imgur.com/6daKpCm.png . And this doesn't seem to be the only place that they have duplicate code.
So there is duplicate code in every search. I don't know which is being called all of the time or why they are both needed. (I think I will delete the duplicate folder and see if the site still works.)
It doesn't help that PHPStorm's search function is also quite confusing. It changes the order of the returned results every single time you look at it. It is nigh impossible to keep up with what you've looked at and what you haven't because the results are jumbled every time they are shown to you. Why would you do something like that? Why aren't search results ordered either alphabetically (by page name) and by line number EVERY SINGLE TIME? Make it make sense.

2024.05.14 23:48 GPSTrackerShop1 GPS Blocker For Cars
| How GPS Blockers Affect Car Tracking: Facts, Risks & Legalities Are you worried about the privacy implications of GPS tracking in your car? With the increasing use of GPS in vehicles, many car owners like you are concerned about their privacy and are curious about the use of GPS blockers. However, it's crucial to understand the legal landscape surrounding these devices. In this article, we'll guide you through the world of GPS jamming, clarifying legal boundaries and potential risks. By reading on, you'll gain valuable insights into how GPS trackers and jammers work, their impact on car owners, and legal alternatives to protect your privacy. Now, let's first start by going over some of the basics about GPS jamming devices. https://i.redd.it/2heka8kzpg0d1.gif Simple Definition: A "GPS blocker for car" is a small device that disrupts the GPS system in or on your vehicle, preventing it from accurately showing its location. Technical Definition: A "GPS blocker for car" refers to an electronic device that emits radio frequency signals, synchronized with the wavelengths used by GPS satellites. This device disrupts the communication between a vehicle's GPS receiver and the orbiting satellites, thereby hindering the accurate determination and reporting of the vehicle's geographical position. Understanding How GPS Blockers & Jamming Devices Work So how do GPS blockers work and what is the technology behind them? GPS blockers, also known as jammers, are designed to disrupt the communication between a GPS device and the orbiting satellites. They function by emitting signals that overpower or mask the GPS signals, causing confusion and loss of accurate location data. Let's break down the workings of GPS blockers: - Signal Overpowering: GPS blockers emit strong radio frequencies. These frequencies are similar to the ones used by GPS satellites but are much louder, effectively drowning out the real signals.
- Frequency Mimicking: The technology in a GPS blocker is tuned to the same frequency range as GPS satellites. This makes the GPS receiver unable to distinguish between the blocker's signals and the actual GPS signals.
- Range and Effectiveness: The effective range of a GPS blocker varies. Smaller devices might cover only a few meters, while larger ones can affect GPS over greater distances.
But why would anyone want to block a GPS device on their vehicle? It's a great question. One real-world example is privacy from an employer. Imagine you're using a company vehicle equipped with GPS tracking. Perhaps you feel that your employer is monitoring your movements excessively, even during your personal time. A GPS blocker can temporarily shield your location, providing a sense of privacy and autonomy. It's a way to keep your off-duty life private, away from the watchful eyes of workplace surveillance. Another example would be if you were concerned an ex-husband or wife was secretly tracking your car. If you believe your spouse is tracking your car's location without your consent, a GPS blocker might seem like a solution. It provides a way to prevent your spouse from knowing your whereabouts, fostering a sense of personal space and privacy. Legality and Regulations of GPS Blockers In the United States, the use of GPS blockers is strictly illegal. The Federal Communications Commission ( FCC) prohibits their use because they can disrupt critical communication systems. If caught using one, you could face hefty fines or even jail time. In Europe, the stance is similar. The European Union has stringent laws against these devices for the same reasons. Let's look at the penalties for illegal use: - Fines: In the United States, the legal ramifications of using GPS blockers are quite serious. If you use a GPS blocker, you could face a fine of up to $16,000. This fine is enforced by the federal government through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which regulates the use of radio communications, including GPSâ.
- Imprisonment: The FCC's rules, specifically under Section 501 of the Communications Act of 1934, allow for substantial monetary fines and criminal sanctions, including imprisonment, for the use or marketing of jammers.
- Seizure of Device: Authorities may also seize your GPS blocker, alongside other legal repercussions.
Using a GPS jamming device might seem like a quick fix for privacy concerns, but the legal consequences can be severe. Always consider legal and safer alternatives to protect your privacy. Remember, respecting these laws not only keeps you out of trouble but also ensures the safety and reliability of essential communication systems for everyone. Related Content: Does Foil Block GPS? Effects of GPS Blockers on Vehicle Functionality and Surrounding Technology Have you ever considered how a GPS blocker might affect your car and the devices around you? Using a GPS jammer in your vehicle doesn't just disrupt your navigation; it can have broader implications. Let's take a closer look at the impact a jamming device can have on your vehicle's GPS system: - When you use a GPS blocker, it will directly impact your car's navigation system.
- The GPS may show incorrect locations or fail to provide directions, leading to confusion and potentially unsafe driving situations.
But what about the unintended consequences of using a GPS blocker for cars? Yes, we are talking about the influence on nearby devices and networks. For example: - Disrupted Emergency Services: GPS blockers can interfere with the GPS systems used by emergency response vehicles.
- Affecting Public Transportation: Buses and taxis with GPS-based routing can be disrupted, causing delays.
- Impact on Personal Devices: Your smartphone or GPS-based fitness devices can be affected.
- Broader Network Implications: In some cases, GPS blockers might interfere with broader telecommunication networks.
Using a GPS blocker can have unintended and far-reaching consequences. Itâs not just about losing your way; itâs about potentially disrupting vital services and networks. As a responsible car owner, it's important to be aware of these effects and adhere to legal guidelines for GPS use. Remember, your actions can impact not just you, but also those around you. Legal Alternatives to GPS Blockers Seeking privacy in your car but wary of the legal issues with GPS blockers? You're not alone. Many car owners are looking for lawful and safe ways to maintain their privacy without resorting to GPS jamming. Here are some effective and legal alternatives that can help you achieve privacy and security while staying on the right side of the law: - Use a Faraday Bag: This bag blocks all radio signals, including GPS. Place your GPS device inside the bag to prevent tracking.
- Opt For Non-GPS-Based Navigation: Use traditional maps or offline navigation apps that don't transmit your location.
- Regular Privacy Checks: Regularly inspect your vehicle for unauthorized GPS trackers, especially if you suspect someone might have placed one.
- Talk to Your Employer: If your concern is about an employer-tracked vehicle, discuss privacy terms and agree on acceptable tracking parameters.
By opting for these legal alternatives, you maintain your privacy without crossing legal boundaries or disrupting essential services. Remember, respecting privacy laws and considering the safety implications of any technology you use is crucial. GPS Blocker For Cars - Frequently Asked Questions Are GPS Jammers Legal? Everything from desktop jammers to mobile phone jammer devices and GPS jammers is illegal in the USA. Anything that blocks GPS signals is illegal to purchase or use in the United States. Even a simple drone jammer is illegal in the USA. Several nations, including the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom, have made GPS jamming illegal. Anything that disrupts GPS signals is illegal. The Federal Communications Act of 1934 made it illegal to promote, sell, or use GPS jammers in the United States. This law makes it illegal to import, manufacture, distribute, sell, acquire, and use GPS jamming equipment. There are severe penalties for employing jammers, including: - Fines Of Up To $100,000 Or More Are Possible;
- Incarceration;
- Seizing Of the Jamming Devices.
Jamming devices are not only unlawful, but they may also be deadly if used improperly. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) penalized a New Jersey truck driver for approximately $32,000 after his GPS jamming equipmentdisrupted air traffic control signals at an airport. The worker had hidden his whereabouts from his company by using the jammer in his company vehicle. Using radio surveillance equipment, an FCC investigator could find the jammer and verify that it was the source of the disturbance. What Should I Do If I Suspect My Communications Are Being Jammed? If you suspect your communications are being jammed, start by troubleshooting common causes for bad network connections. This includes checking for faulty equipment, physical obstructions that might be blocking signals, or interference from lawful devices operating on similar frequencies. Additionally, researching your specific issue online, in relation to your device or model, can help identify or rule out potential causes. Only consider filing a complaint about suspected jamming after you've thoroughly investigated these possibilities and still believe jamming is the cause. Remember, many factors can contribute to network issues, so it's essential to systematically rule out the more common causes first. How To Prevent GPS Jamming? If you want to protect your GPS device systems from GPS blockers, there are some useful steps. One of the most common ways is to install a pre-programmable GPS tracking device. It will automatically shut down the car when it detects GPS blockers or shielding instrument devices. This way, you can enjoy ultimate fleet tracking without any issues. Another way to combat tracking devices is to install multiple GPS devices in the car. This way, even if one or more devices are down, you can still get the location of your car. It may cost you a little bit more, but it will be worth it. Moreover, companies offer discounts on bulk GPS device installations.

2024.05.14 22:18 loveshackbaby420 I heard on radio today bc of strike theres talk of bringing in overseas and US companies
Not sure of source I heard it on a radio in public today but they were talking about how this boycott is showing Canadians need more options and we will be seeing more discount stores like Aldi coming in. What do you guys think?
Eta: of course this talk was happening prior to boycott but the radio commentary was just saying now it actually might happen and that the monopoly that Loblaws has over Canadian consumers may actually finally end. The point of the post was to be happy that the boycott is working and change is slowly happening!
(Also forgive me saying strike instead of boycott / pregnancy brain).

2024.05.14 18:55 stormyfuck bridgerstoned 2.2
Letâs do it again, friends: get stoned and listen to my thoughts on season 2, episode 2!
- Anthony and benedict are getting shaved and all i hear is the sweeney todd pipes
- kate in this beautiful jewel-toned bridgerton blue đ
- Anthony obviously in love with kate while actively trying to court edwina. His cocky little smile kills me
- Lmfao âi cannot think of any cleverer way to say this, but nooooâ
- Pen: goddamn it eloise i did exactly what you wanted and you still criticize LW
- The look colin gives pen đ theyve done a great job building up the polin romance
- I also hate guns and hunting and would be pissed as fuck if some dude comes in my home and starts hanging that ugly shit
- Iâm honestly really happy phili gets a love match with finch
- Lord lumley seems sweet honestly. And heâs right, poetry is better read aloud. Its a type of song really. I hate that poetry is usually taught to kids by reading it silently or reading it aloud in class for the first time without any idea how to intonate or understand what theyre expressing. I had the opportunity to see a shakespeare play performed before i had read or even heard of the story and i was shocked that i was able to understand it and enjoy it. I was like why isnt this how we do it always??
- sorry i have half an english degree and iâm a real pain in the ass about it
- Also btw has anyone read the book much ado about mean girls? Its mean girls but written in shakespearean style. Its a hoot if youâre also a nerd like me
- Ok sorry back to bridgerton. I paused it for so long to type all that my tv went to screensaver mode
- Was mr dorset earnest in trying to meet with kate or was it actually orchestrated by anthony?
- I also prefer a warm spicy chai to a milky black tea
- Benedict to mondrich: sorry anthonyâs an ass, I am not tho, please tell me more
- Eloise has another ribbon hat contraption. This one is like a straw beret
- I think its a bit of a weird styling choice for eloise to wear these ribbon head things. They dont offer any practicality: they dont keep her hair up or out of her face, they dont keep her head warm or shield her from the sun. they seem to be purely decorative and i feel like eloise would just rather nothing than something simply pretty
- I liked the look she had in colins return scene when it was just pinned to the side. I feel like that would be her go to
- Edwina trying so hard to hook kate up and get her off her back
- Pen is so clever. Eloise literally tells her, look i figured out where you print your LWs and pen just smirks and el goes oh your right im acting silly
- A & K arguing about the horses and once again the chemistry is so damn oobvious iâm surprised the whole of the stands isnt shouting get a room
- Lol i just noticed lumley brings back 2 cups (presumably for edwina and kate) and anthony takes kates
- The look he gives her when she whistlesâŠboy is S M I T T E N
- Stop hollerin like a newsboy - i say this to my dog when hes outside barking at the neighbor
- Eloise finding a locked door in a place sheâs not supposed to be, knocking on the door, and then immediately bothering the first person she sees is just a perfect example of her character lol
- The new lord featherington is like fuuuuck i thought this was m lucky break but iâm screwed
- Love QCs colorful wigs. Were the ornate wigs back then different colors? I can only picture them in white
- This is the first time kateâs not in blue. Weâre coming out of our bridgerton blue and into our purples era. Purple represents royalty, opulence, ambition, and power. Edwina is in pink almost exclusively. Pink represents young love, girlhood, innocence
- âYou are the one who is always rightâ benedict is good with the quick comebacks
- âWhy should i be the one to admit defeat??â aka her sister hates me but i love her so im not giving in
- Zeh-bruhs
- anthony showing up with that horse is like mentioning you liked curious george and him showing up with a chimpanzee. Never gift a pet/live animal
- I like that mondrich is like fuck that snobby other club, iâm opening my own place with blackjack and hookers
- Anthony doesnt get invited to one party and heâs like WOW rude
- Time for the loser suitor show
- Surprised none of these losers did a stand up act
- Poor pen so sick of yellow. Weâre gonna add that bridgerrton blue soon and see you in beautiful greens đ
- Colin being the corniest: I really got to know someone i didnât know at all: me
- colin to pen: youâre not a woman, youre my friend. I dont find you worth loving or fucking
- Lady F would have been happy to scheme with jack and get the cowpers money. Shed probaby end up killing cressi somehow
- Lol i love what a critic of the arts benedict is. a true artist
- i read somewhere once that its a staple of the regency romance to diss byron because he was a very popular poet at the time, so its kind of like yeah i'm a corny romantic type but i'm a cool corny romantic type. i dont like whats on the radio, i have good taste
- Anthony to benedict. Write that shit down write that shit down
- Anthony was definitely the âcan i copy your homeworkâ kid
- Anthony: you forgot to invite me. That was your mistake right? Im obviously supposed to be here??
- Literally speechless when he sees kate
- Anthony: I might not be able to give you romance, but i can take care of you and give you a happy life. Kate: you hear that shit? Heâll never love her what a pig
- Kate is treating the ton the way i treated my last job. I dont care if they like me, iâm here for the money
- Penelope once again being a shrewd business woman. Give me the discount to keep me away lol
- QC literally has no idea who pen is lol

2024.05.14 02:44 LeTommyWiseau Just how inefficient was the economy of Nazi Germany?
I'm reading "Wages of Destruction" by Adam Tooze and he seems to paint a convincing picture that debunks a lot of myths about the Nazis they successfully implanted in their enemies and exposes the unsustainability of the Nazi economy, using for example the fact that even the cheap "people's radio" was iirc worse than equivalent allied radios of a similar price, despite the name and attempts to claim otherwise, the Nazis were no socialist and German industry and magnates supported the regime, but it did have central planning of sorts, which makes me wonder, how much did Nazi interference hamper the German economy, discounting the unsustainability of rearmament, and how much could have the German economy have been improved, including weapons production, otherwise?

2024.05.13 17:52 KayosTheory101 DM songs where you hear voices other than Dave, Martin, Fletch, Alan or Vince
There's a few DM studio tracks where you can hear voices from people other than the band members (or ex band members).
- "Black Celebration" - Daniel Miller doing his Winston Churchill impression "A brief period of rejoicing"
- "To Have And To Hold" - Unknown Russian (radio?) voice that supposedly translates to "âPsychological problems of Arms Race"
- "I Want You Now" - A couple of models hanging around the studio provide the laughing
- "Condemnation (Paris Mix)" - Backing vocals from Samantha Smith, Hildia Campbell, Bazil Meade
- "Route 66" (Beatmasters Mix) - Includes a commercial for the "Name That Tune" game show: "They come from everywhere to take the challenge ... and if they can name it, they can claim it!" Later, Wolfman Jack pops up talking about registering for the draft.
- "Never Let Me Down Again" / "Sacred" / "Little 15" - Used samples from Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Southend Boys' Choirs
- "Fly On The Windscreen (Final)" - A voice saying "I don't care how you feel.". Unconfirmed who, but could be Daniel Miller, could be Richard Pryor.
- "Personal Jesus" (Pump Mix)" - "The Lord Jesus Christ himself" - taken from 1988 film Thy Kingdom Come
- "Painkiller" - "I want it"? sampleed from Sonic Youth.
It feels like there's a few others I'm missing....Anyone know of the others? I'm discounting live recordings from tours where they had backing vocalists.
The following tracks had voices, but research indicated it was from a band member
- "Shouldn't Have Done That" - Apparently the reversed voices is Martin telling a story...and the foot stamping includes members from the band Blancmange...so that one doesn't really count.
- "Crucified" (Interlude #2 from Violator) - Apparently, the voice is Fletch, so doesn't count.
- "Kaleid" - I've been unable to confirm who the voice is from, so likely to be the band (Martin?)

2024.05.12 15:53 Whole-Series Need a perk to stockpile limited use/limited stock items due to per jump, per time or other limits.
I want to use it with these particulary.
Strategic Arsenal (600)
This massive arsenal of nukes is fired by planetary railguns first then firing their Epstein Drives to strike anywhere in the solar system with impunity. You have 10,000 of them and you can choose to put where this arsenal will be located. You can have it in deep space ready for an ambush. You will receive more missiles at a rate of 1 per month, but you can produce your own nukes if you want. This system comes with a fancy briefcase that can control the arsenalâs targets, guidance system and abort codes. 150 of these nukes can completely destroy an asteroid the size of Eros. I believe that this arsenal makes you the most powerful being in any star system.
The Cataclyst [600]
This is a small handheld bomb. When detonated, it will kill everyone in the same sector as the detonator. It can be used only once. It is an artifact and cannot be destroy, or duplicated by any means. The definition of sector is flexible. If you use it in anything called a sector (city sector, sector of space) it will be limited to that size. Otherwise, you can set it to the limits of any subsection of reality. It is capable of scouring all life from hundreds of worlds and will kill anything that can be killed, no exceptions. It has no fuse and no timer. You push the button, everything dies. Including you.
There Are Good Devils [600cp - Discount Hybrid]
Whatâs so great about being feared? You can pick one emotion this Jumpâs perks and items are based on instead of fear. You still count as a devil of hellish origin regardless of what you pick. Post-Jump, you can pick one perk each Jump to swap an aspect of around. For example, you could opt for a perk that makes you stronger the faster you are to instead be faster the stronger. The end result canât be inherently better by itself than what it was before and must be a direct equivalent to the original.
600cp â Do You Want Power?
In the face of tragedy, in the face of anger and hatred towards all things, in the face of death, danger and pain, in the face of losing all that you love and cherish, a voice from deep within will ask of you, âDo You Want Power?â and should you answer âyesâ, Power you will have. In desperate situations you can draw upon your deepest darkest self, your innermost power, the abilities you have but cannot normally access or canât normally use at the same time, the power of beings dwelling within you and more, much more, these powers are amplified to give you the power to face the challenge in front of you and to unleash hell of whatever it was that provoked you. This is a form of berserker super-mode is one that roughly increases your power by between 5 to 20 times but can only last for a few hours at most or until whatever provoked it is dealt with, whichever is soonest. You can only use this mode once every ten years and it is very dangerous, even for those you care about who are nearby or even hostages of your hated target. Collateral is a real and serious concern while using this mode, but is undeniable that this mode grants overwhelming power, enough to deal with most things you may encounter unless you are less than a bug to them to begin with, as even with this youâd just be a larger kind of bug. You can periodically, once a month at most, enter into a lesser version of this mode where your power is increased to twice or three times at most. This most while much weaker is easier to enter and control but can only be sustained for short bursts without causing either self-harm or straining the ability, in both forms, so they are inaccessible for some time afterwards. This typically takes the form of you as a glowing white figure emanating enormous amounts of energy into your immediate environment, naked unless wearing something hardy enough to weather the power surrounding you.
Try, Try Againâ (400cp)
You can instantly negate and reverse any injury, attack, or action that would otherwise result in failing your Chain, after which you cannot use this for ten years or until the beginning of your next jump, whichever comes first. After your chain ends, this can negate anything that would result in your death, but still only functions once per ten years.
TheBomb[600] The USS Nautilus is the world's first operational nuclear-powered submarine. And in this world, it is also a nuclear armed submarine. Built for first strike capabilities, this vessel is loaded with a dozen missiles outfitted with tactical thermonuclear warheads. Each having avariable yield of 5 to 100 kilotons with the missile replacing itself 1 year after use. It also comes with a cold war military radio transceiver that is linked to the Nautilus. It can be used to summon the submarine, spawning it in at the nearest off shore area it can fit in.

2024.05.12 13:12 interventionalhealer Trump and 9/11? A counter theory to the rise of MAGA.
For the sake of transparency, I am not the architect of the following discoveries, and am just helping to forward their message and clean it up. Copywrite of the following work belongs to no one and everyone is not only welcome to share these findings as if they were their own, but openly encouraged to do so.
Introduction If you think you know anything about MAGA. Trust me, you know nothing. Not even his most devout followers or haters will have considered the following. And for the sake of our democracy and way of life, I hope people read this.
This work may very well help to shift the narrative on Trump in a meaningful and foundational way, but I don't want this work exacerbate any feelings of ill will to MAGA members, for they have been prey to possibly one of the largest con jobs our world has ever seen, especially without the help of this counternarrative.
Snippet From My Thesis On MAGA As I work on tidying up the master file with the helpful dms I got, allow me to post just the most contentious part of it below, now that itâs able to stand on its own.
MAGA didnât begin in 2015. I argue it began in 2001 on 9/11, while also harnessing and funneling decades of anti-government resentment till many Americans would openly call for a âwrecking ballâ figure to help âdrain the swamp.â
A Key Fueling Factor To American Outrage- Inflation Many elements contributed to growing American anger that would later contribute to MAGA, this is a snippet from the larger work.
Rising Cost of Living o In 1950, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 24.1. By 2000, it had risen to 168 (a 597% increase), and by 2023, it had reached 304.7, a 1163% increase from 1950.
o Housing prices saw a drastic rise overtime, with the median home price increasing from $7,354 in 1950 to $388,700 in 2023, a staggering
5185% increase.
o While rising rent costs can contribute to overall inflation and cost of living, even the left has largely failed to address how exponentially increasing real estate prices impact the cost of living. This omission has made many other conspiracy theories seem more plausible in its wake.
o If we donât find real solutions for real estate that also arenât extreme, then society will feel more and more pressure to accept âunreasonable solutionsâ like Trump, even though heâs the last person on earth who could solve it, considering his business acumen and history.
MAGA Dynamics and Blind Devotion In 2016, it wasn't just the left calling the MAGA movement a cult. Trump famously said, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters." Even the left failed to grasp the gravity of this statement. As someone who nearly died in a deadly cult and based on my research, I don't know of a single cult where the founder could openly commit murder without losing members. Trump didn't just believe he'd created one of the largest cults ever; he believed he'd created the most fanatical. Let's hope his followers prove him wrong by showing a willingness to criticize him, regardless of their vote.
The MAGA Question Instead of challenging MAGA supporters on fallacious beliefs, ask them this question to see if theyâre at least able to see a world where Trump isnât a biblical King: "If Trump admitted he was behind 9/11 and used resulting insurance money and donations from hostile governments to create false âgrass rootâ campaigns. And did it all in a way to make it seem like others committed his own atrocities. And that he intended to destroy America in every way if he got elected, would you still vote for him?"
Yet even then, getting through to a MAGA supporter inevitably refers to 9/11 âresearchâ out there when they realize individual positions are usually fallacious. This quagmire me decide to investigate this tragedy, to see if there was a more plausible counter theory. Honestly, the more I looked the more surprised I became. Here are my findings that are but a snippet of my full thesis on MAGA.
9/11 Conspiracy Theories and MAGA Conspiracy Theories and Credibility: o First off, conspiracy theories should involve some effort to verify narratives, rather than just repeating claims across multiple sources that mistake themselves as evidence; like a bunch of people who repeat âbob fartedâ across multiple websites may see that as evidence, when in fact, it was Sean. Sorry Sean.
Early Origins of MAGA: o Although some believe MAGA began in 2015, its roots lie as early as the 1980s with Rush Limbaugh and later became "serious" on 9/11.
o 9/11 conspiracy theories claim controlled demolitions were used, but the lack of any cellphone recordings of explosions weakens this theory.
Suspicious Factors: o The official narrative involving chaotic jet fuel leading to a straight fall seemed questionable.
o The collapse of a third building (WTC 7), which wasnât directly hit, fueled suspicions.
o Airline stocks were heavily shorted before the attacks, raising concerns about insider trading.
Harvey Pitt, Republican SEC Chairman at the time, investigated this and claimed there was nothing amiss, but was criticized for later crimes and forced to resign.
o Itâs also suspicious that in Trumps 2000 book âThe America We Deserveâ that he stated, âI really am convinced weâre in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the [1993] bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers. No sensible analyst rejects this possibility, and plenty of them, like me, are not wondering if but when it will happen*.â*
§ Yet democrats would largely miss this point entirely and obsess over his false claim that he called for Bin Laden to be killed, when he had not. Somehow conspiracy theorists would find this âcoolâ rather than suspicious. CNN Fact Check Donald Trump Osama Bin Laden Book Claim Reports and Simplified Narratives: o FEMA's 2002 report and NIST's 2005 report provided technical explanations of the tower collapses.
o However, the Port Authority Chairman stuck to the oversimplified narrative that "jet fuel melted steel beams," even though he knew this was a half-truth, as detailed in the next section, fueling anti-government conspiracies. The question is why.
Potential Impact: o 9/11 conspiracy theories sowed distrust in the government, which may have been one of the attackers' objectives. Anyone that heavily profited from this tragedy, and helped further those objects, should be questioned.
o The âLoose Changeâ âdocumentaryâ pointed out suspicious parts of the story, but failed to give any clear claims as to who was purportedly behind it. It also failed to note the Twin Towers titanic design flaw that could result in a straight fall. Even the 2015 version of this film fails to mention nearly all of the known facts in this report.
o The Director of that film later states:
âI DONâT THINK WEâD HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP IF IT WERENâT FOR 9/11â â9/11 created a culture of fear, of xenophobia, this sense of entitlement and everything weâve seen. Warrantless wire-tapping, Guantanamo Bay, everything thatâs happened led us to this point, we wouldnât be here without 9/11. They want to kick out all the Mexicans and Muslims because of this culture of fear and bigotry and xenophobia that directly led to the election of fucking Donald Trump. [laughing] Thatâs our world now! We had Reagan before, and Governor Schwarzenegger. But President Donald Trump? Itâs just weird. Everything is just weird.â Theoutline Reflecting On Loose Change o While the director was in the right to ask questions, he failed to ask the most obvious ones.
o However, his lead âresearcher,â Jason Bermas, would turn out to be a full blown MAGA wingnut.
Patriot Jason Bermas o Anyone that would benefit politically and financially from 9/11
should be fully investigated.
Further Reading: Harvey Pitt - Wikipedia Politifact How 911 Attacks Helped Shape Modern Misinformation It will never be possible to defeat MAGA followers âlogicallyâ with people who believed his parties rhetoric âthat 9/11 was an inside job.â
I say⊠what if those Republican leaders were self reporting?
What if Trump followers have been rallying behind the very man responsible for its orchestration?
The Twin Towers and Larry Silverstein Architectural Pitfalls of the Twin Towers: · The Twin Towers had unique architectural flaws due to the

He also became part of Trumps transition team. While thereâs no evidence of explosives being used, tampering with the exoskeleton and weaking the relatively thin central column ahead of time are theoretically plausible.
Huffpost Donald Trump Transition Team Wikipedia Tom Leppert The bidding for the World Trade Center lease involved only a few major real estate firms as allowed by the Port Authority Chairman. Below are the allowed bidders and their estimated worth at the time included:
·
Donald J. Trumpâs Organization: o Worth around $1.5 billion in 1996 after multiple bankruptcies. Confirmed only by Forbes magazine in 2005.
·
Tishman Speyer:
o Valued at approximately $1.8 billion in 2000, would soon face âtenant issuesâ with many scrupulous legal claims against them.
·
Gale & Wentworth:
o Worth a few million.
·
Mortimer Zuckermanâs Boston Properties:
o Mortimer Zuckerman alone was worth around $2 billion.
·
The Rouse Company:
o Mainly a shopping mall operator.
·
Brookfield Properties:
o A Canadian firm valued at over $20 billion in 2000.
·
Vornado Realty Trust:
o Worth an estimated $2-3 billion. Had the highest bid, but was unexpectedly outed by the Port Authority Chairman, paving the way for Silversteinâs win. CEO of Vornado Trust,
Steven Roth would later do many deals with Trump in 2005 and beyond.
·
Larry Silverstein:
o As mentioned, was nearly bankrupt in the 1980s, and was mysteriously awarded the right to lease the World Trade Center contract at $3.2 billion, twice the original asking price of 1.2 Billion. It would still be owned by the Port authority of NY and NJ, he would just own the rights to lease it.
o Port Authority Chairman, Lewis Eisenberg, made this unexplained decision, who also later became Trumps
lead fundraiser in 2015.
o After putting down only $125 million, as per the contract, Silverstein would be getting back $100 million just 6 weeks after his bid and with an uncommon terrorist insurance addition. His exaggerated bid and insurance contract would also greatly inflate the amount of money he could get from an insurance claim. If the winning bid was 1.5 billion, the insurance payout would also have been much less.
o In real estate, its quite rare for a prudent investor to bid twice the asking price, as demonstrated by the other companies that backed out, of which I find no connections to Trump.
o If anyone had known about 9/11 ahead of time,
like Trump claims he did, it would become drastically easier to outbid all competitors, knowing that for pennies on the dollar, you would be getting much more back.

Twin Towers Fund and Privatization: · Giuliani privatized the Twin Towers relief funds, making them unauditable.
NY Times Article on Privatization NY Post Article: Giuliani and Twin Towers Fund 4. Survivors Threaten To SUE Guliani For Relief Funds · Even after privatizing the twin towers fund, Giuliani would make it incredibly difficult for the victims to receive their fair share. Requiring many of them to spend unnecessary money on advisors and consultants.
· Even with their legal pressure, he only agreed to âgive the remaining 100 million to victims,â out of 170 million, if he could first put the money into the bank account of a charity in which he controlled.
· From the attached article: âBut Harold Schaitberger, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, said that he remained adamantly opposed to any transfer of funds to Mr. Giuliani's charity.
He also objected to Mr. Giuliani's continued control over even the $15 million in his private charity. Mr. Giuliani, he charged, gives every indication of using the Twin Towers Fund to maintain a staff of loyal supporters and to advance his political aspirations.
'The concern that politics will infiltrate the fund becomes even more apparent when one reviews the list of the mayor's former political appointees who are assuming senior staff positions or serving on the fund's board of directors,'' he wrote in a letter on Monday to Eliot L. Spitzer, the state attorney general.â

Initial Settlement Demands and Profit Claims: · Despite only having been out for $25 million, Silverstein initially sought nearly $8 BILLION in insurance settlements and argued for "loss of revenue from those buildings," which is quite an uncompassionate claim considering how many lost their lives.
Talk about a prime example of the working and lower classes making sacrifices while rich elites complain they didnât profit enough from the same tragedy. 2.
Rebuilding Contributions and Insurance Payout: · Despite the fact that he only owned the
leasing rights to the twin towers, âSilverstein Propertiesâ received up to $4 billion from insurance payouts, instead of the Port Authority, which would be customary as the owner.
· While it's assumed that most of that money went to rebuilding, this isn't actually known or proven. It would be different if he had a separate insurance policy that was not connected to the rebuilding of the towers, with different monies going to the Port Authority to rebuild. This was not the case.
History.com: Rebuilding of Ground Zero · He additionally
refused to return the rights of
Building 1 to the Port Authority until he secured
additional funds from an $8 billion state fund. Talk about heartless.
Wikipedia: Larry Silverstein · Various entities would contribute a total of $20 billion to rebuild all six damaged or destroyed towers, including four towers leased by Silverstein and two others he hadn't. This makes it unlikely that he had to go out of pocket with his 4 Billion.
3.
Estimated Net Worth: · While earlier records of Silverstein's net worth are unavailable, aside from his near bankruptcy in 1980, he is currently estimated to be worth around $1 billion.
Forbes Profile: Larry Silverstein Silversteinâs Controversial Alignment with Trump Larry Silverstein's connections and public persona have often been scrutinized. This scrutiny became particularly relevant in 2015 when he publicly displayed his support for Donald Trump:
- Long-standing Relationship: Silverstein revealed a 30-year-long acquaintance with Trump, emphasizing the depth of their connection. This means his relationship started in 1985, roughly two years after gaining a powerful criminal organization as a tenant in his tower 7, that saved him from bankruptcy, and 6 years before Trumps first, of many, bankruptcies. This also means they knew each other before 9/11.
- Supportive Yet Vague: He commended Trump for diligently pursuing what he believed to be right, echoing Trump's own ambiguous rhetoric. When pressed about the righteousness of Trumpâs goals, Silverstein ambiguously responded, "well, itâs... you know... weâll find out." This mirrors Trumpâs evasive " Well, we're going to have to see what happens" stance, when questioned about committing to a peaceful transfer of power prior to January 6thâan event that ultimately unfolded with violence and chaos.
- Early Endorsement: By voicing his support when Trump announced his presidential campaign, Silverstein positioned himself as one of the early prominent figures in the MAGA movement.

He also made an unfounded claim that he saw thousands of Muslims in New Jersey cheering, a statement that has been widely debunked.

If anything, this was a self-report.

FactCheck.org: Trumpâs Revised 9/11 Claim ·
Visit to Ground Zero: o A week after the attacks, Trump visited Ground Zero and stated that although he was present, he wouldnât consider himself a first responder. This attempt at humility struck many as morbidly insensitive, considering the true heroism displayed by actual first responders.
ABC News: Trump Shares New Details About Morning of 9/11 Legacy of Suspicion: These actions paint Trump as one of the more suspicious figures post-9/11, who may have used the tragedy for personal and political gain. His connections with figures like Larry Silverstein and Lewis Eisenberg, the Port Authority chairman, hint at deep financial interests potentially influenced by the 9/11 aftermath. Meanwhile, survivors and first responders faced challenges in securing support, highlighting the disparities between their experiences and the political maneuvers at play. Again morbidly juxtaposing the struggles of the poor and working class versus elite swamp members such as Trump and his ilk.
While being, arguably, one of the more suspicious Americans of potentially âbeing an insider," Trump would go on to cast doubt everywhere else with his new holier than thou rhetoric and hints and claims that âit was an inside jobâ for the next 15 years.
What if he was speaking from
personal experience.
The Deepfake Dilemma Now in a world where Trump's followers already discount reality, the emergence of AI-generated deepfakes threatens to further distort the truth. This technology could transform legal standards of evidence, making it easy to dismiss genuine evidence against the right as fabricated, while baseless accusations against the left might be accepted as the long-awaited proof.
The Potential Escalation of MAGA Actions Given the willingness of MAGA supporters to storm the Capitol on January 6th, bolstered by Trump's incendiary rhetoric, the potential for escalation is alarming. The advent of fabricated images and videos could present unprecedented national security threats.
Trump's Incendiary Rhetoric on January 6th Trump's speech on January 6th was a clear incitement, as he urged his followers to "fight like hell" to "stop the steal," despite admitting DURING THE SPEECH that there was no evidence of the massive electoral fraud he claimed. As well as his lawyers laughable court âarguments.â
â...while there is no evidence to prove any wrongdoingâŠâ Npr.Org Read Trumps Jan 6 Speech LawAndCrime Come On Now This speech, coupled with his undermining of constitutional processes, underscores the risks and intentional deceit of his rhetoric. Too bad Republicans senators and our Supreme Court have either claimed he was above the law, or continue to postpone his court dates till after elections. A wild position when treason is on the table. Did that dude commit treason that claims he wants to become a dictator? I dunno, lets let him potentially get elected and then find out!
Elon Musk's Political Shift Elon was once very much a leftist, unfortunately in more and more far left âactivistsâ continue to attack him endlessly for not agreeing with them on their own singular issues and perspectives. To them I say congratulations, you successfully pushed the most powerful man on earth into the far right. Great job. Great job.
Elon Musk's journey from a liberal supporter to a figure embraced by the far right highlights the volatile nature of political affiliations in today's polarized environment. His actions since acquiring Twitterâsuch as promoting unfounded conspiracy theories and making high-profile firingsâsuggest a departure from his initial free speech advocacy.
Especially when considering he fired Don Lemon from his platform for an
interview he found offensive. Canceling opinions you find offensive isnât free speech, itâs literally the opposite. Iâm sure many people were offended by the examples below. What about them?

6 The Need for a Critical Approach Supporters of Trump should critically evaluate why he did not pardon the January 6th insurrectionists during his term, despite using them as political leverage now. This pattern of using allies until they are no longer useful is evident throughout his political and personal dealings.
What better example could there possibly be as to what trump truly thinks of his supporters, how sacrificial he sees them as part of his endless narratives, then his refusal and failure to pardon January 6th insurrectionists while still in office?
Of course, anyone âjust on the grassâ or outside the building should only get a day in jail at most, however people that barged inside the capital should naturally get much more.
And while trump refused to pardon those people before, he now calls them âhostagesâ and is
using them as political bait to a truly wild degree. It's very likely he will make good on this promise to further embolden the narrative that âDemocrats are trying to take you down and only I can save you.â
His supporters need to seriously ask, âWhy didnât he pardon us before?â
Also, remember when he claimed he would
pay legal fees for supporters that were violent at his rallies, but then seemed to falter and change his mind. Much like how Amber Heard donated her money, âby pledging it.â
List of allies he was quick to discard or dump. And let's face it, all of these people have done more for him than the average MAGA supporter. The only person he cares about is himself.
Trump claims that Mike Pence, the man he vetted more than anyone else, â
has gone to the dark side.â
Trump
seems to have supported the chants to âHang Mike Pense,â at least in jest? We hope? There are also no links of him condemning them. Yet admittedly this one point doesnât have hard evidence like a recording or video as far as I know, it certainly fits his brand.
Mike Flynn, a Trump appointee,
later testifies against him.
Trump
admits Flynn lied on his behalf, accidentally testifying against him, but does pardon him. As long as youâre colluding with Russia youâre ok it seems?
The Future Under Trump's Influence Trump's rhetoric about overriding constitutional norms to address what he calls "massive fraud" hints at authoritarian aspirations. His praise for dictators and divisive language further aligns with dangerous historical precedents.

âA Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.â
Stated he intended to be a
Dictator on day one, but then promises it will be just for a day. Is that how that works? Or is it âOnce you go Dictator you donât go back?â
Praising dictators, referring to immigrants as vermin etc, akin to Hitlers rhetoric against âblood mixing.â
More fraudulent use of lawyers and courts that gets everyone else in trouble but him, with them arguing he's above the law. This further shows how much he will consistently use people for his own ends and then dump them when they're no longer of use.

Predicting MAGA 2024 And Beyond Naturally there are endless possibilities of what MAGA and dictators around the world decide to do this year and into the future. I believe that the one thing that insinuates when it's time for their next evil actions is dictated by their standings in the polls or when a fellow dictator needs a little more political pressure from war torn inflated oil prices etc.
Dictators Unite While writing my thesis, I speculated that dictators globally were uniting, finding mutual benefits in their governance and deceitful tactics. This theory is increasingly recognized as these autocrats appear to be forming a coalition, undermining peaceful unity efforts through conspiracy theories to preserve their power.
Unherd How Autocrats Unite The True Nature of MAGA MAGA was never genuinely about speaking truth to power or restoring America's glory. It has been an elaborate scheme funded by immense wealth, perpetuating anti-American sentiments through fabricated grassroots movements by domestic and foreign actors. This movement has primarily enriched a select few power-hungry dictators and may have been responsible for some of our most horrific moments in history in the past and acts yet to come.
Trump and MAGA While 'MAGA' predates Trump, he conveniently stepped into a role long in the making. Despite occasional deviations from the MAGA ideology, such as promoting vaccines to emphatic boos, Trump has largely embodied its principles. The real architects of MAGA, however, are likely disillusioned with his unpredictable attacks, which contradict their broader agenda of absolute power.
Nbc News Donald Trump Booed Trump as a Martyr Regardless of election outcomes, Trump is poised to claim interference. His rhetoric and the devout belief of his followers in his divine anointment could lead to his martyrdom, especially given his age and the vulnerabilities it brings. This martyrdom could solidify his legacy while serving the interests of MAGA strategists who find him increasingly burdensome even if he âwins.â

u/neodestiny and friends.
Introduction If you think you know anything about MAGA. Trust me, you know nothing. Not even his most devout followers or haters will have considered the following. And for the sake of our democracy and way of life, I hope people read this.
This work may very well help to shift the narrative on Trump in a meaningful and foundational way, but I don't want this work exacerbate any feelings of ill will to MAGA members, for they have been prey to possibly one of the largest con jobs our world has ever seen, especially without the help of this counternarrative.
Snippet From My Thesis On MAGA As I work on tidying up the master file with the helpful dms I got, allow me to post just the most contentious part of it below, now that itâs able to stand on its own.
MAGA didnât begin in 2015. I argue it began in 2001 on 9/11, while also harnessing and funneling decades of anti-government resentment till many Americans would openly call for a âwrecking ballâ figure to help âdrain the swamp.â
This work may very well help to shift the narrative on Trump in a meaningful and foundational way, but I don't want this work exacerbate any feelings of ill will to MAGA members, for they have been prey to possibly one of the largest con jobs our world has ever seen, especially without the help of this counternarrative.
A Key Fueling Factor To American Outrage- Inflation Many elements contributed to growing American anger that would later contribute to MAGA, this is a snippet from the larger work.
Rising Cost of Living o In 1950, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 24.1. By 2000, it had risen to 168 (a 597% increase), and by 2023, it had reached 304.7, a 1163% increase from 1950.
o Housing prices saw a drastic rise overtime, with the median home price increasing from $7,354 in 1950 to $388,700 in 2023, a staggering
5185% increase.
o While rising rent costs can contribute to overall inflation and cost of living, even the left has largely failed to address how exponentially increasing real estate prices impact the cost of living. This omission has made many other conspiracy theories seem more plausible in its wake.
o If we donât find real solutions for real estate that also arenât extreme, then society will feel more and more pressure to accept âunreasonable solutionsâ like Trump, even though heâs the last person on earth who could solve it, considering his business acumen and history.
MAGA Dynamics and Blind Devotion In 2016, it wasn't just the left calling the MAGA movement a cult. Trump famously said, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters." Even the left failed to grasp the gravity of this statement. As someone who nearly died in a deadly cult and based on my research, I don't know of a single cult where the founder could openly commit murder without losing members. Trump didn't just believe he'd created one of the largest cults ever; he believed he'd created the most fanatical. Let's hope his followers prove him wrong by showing a willingness to criticize him, regardless of their vote.
The MAGA Question Instead of challenging MAGA supporters on fallacious beliefs, ask them this question to see if theyâre at least able to see a world where Trump isnât a biblical King: "If Trump admitted he was behind 9/11 and used resulting insurance money and donations from hostile governments to create false âgrass rootâ campaigns. And did it all in a way to make it seem like others committed his own atrocities. And that he intended to destroy America in every way if he got elected, would you still vote for him?"
Yet even then, getting through to a MAGA supporter inevitably refers to 9/11 âresearchâ out there when they realize individual positions are usually fallacious. This quagmire me decide to investigate this tragedy, to see if there was a more plausible counter theory. Honestly, the more I looked the more surprised I became. Here are my findings that are but a snippet of my full thesis on MAGA.
9/11 Conspiracy Theories and MAGA Conspiracy Theories and Credibility: o First off, conspiracy theories should involve some effort to verify narratives, rather than just repeating claims across multiple sources that mistake themselves as evidence; like a bunch of people who repeat âbob fartedâ across multiple websites may see that as evidence, when in fact, it was Sean. Sorry Sean.
Early Origins of MAGA: o Although some believe MAGA began in 2015, its roots lie as early as the 1980s with Rush Limbaugh and later became "serious" on 9/11.
o 9/11 conspiracy theories claim controlled demolitions were used, but the lack of any cellphone recordings of explosions weakens this theory.
Suspicious Factors: o The official narrative involving chaotic jet fuel leading to a straight fall seemed questionable.
o The collapse of a third building (WTC 7), which wasnât directly hit, fueled suspicions.
o Airline stocks were heavily shorted before the attacks, raising concerns about insider trading.
Harvey Pitt, Republican SEC Chairman at the time, investigated this and claimed there was nothing amiss, but was criticized for later crimes and forced to resign.
o Itâs also suspicious that in Trumps 2000 book âThe America We Deserveâ that he stated, âI really am convinced weâre in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the [1993] bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers. No sensible analyst rejects this possibility, and plenty of them, like me, are not wondering if but when it will happen*.â*
§ Yet democrats would largely miss this point entirely and obsess over his false claim that he called for Bin Laden to be killed, when he had not. Somehow conspiracy theorists would find this âcoolâ rather than suspicious. CNN Fact Check Donald Trump Osama Bin Laden Book Claim Reports and Simplified Narratives: o FEMA's 2002 report and NIST's 2005 report provided technical explanations of the tower collapses.
o However, the Port Authority Chairman stuck to the oversimplified narrative that "jet fuel melted steel beams," even though he knew this was a half-truth, as detailed in the next section, fueling anti-government conspiracies. The question is why.
Potential Impact: o 9/11 conspiracy theories sowed distrust in the government, which may have been one of the attackers' objectives. Anyone that heavily profited from this tragedy, and helped further those objects, should be questioned.
o The âLoose Changeâ âdocumentaryâ pointed out suspicious parts of the story, but failed to give any clear claims as to who was purportedly behind it. It also failed to note the Twin Towers titanic design flaw that could result in a straight fall. Even the 2015 version of this film fails to mention nearly all of the known facts in this report.
o The Director of that film later states:
âI DONâT THINK WEâD HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP IF IT WERENâT FOR 9/11â â9/11 created a culture of fear, of xenophobia, this sense of entitlement and everything weâve seen. Warrantless wire-tapping, Guantanamo Bay, everything thatâs happened led us to this point, we wouldnât be here without 9/11. They want to kick out all the Mexicans and Muslims because of this culture of fear and bigotry and xenophobia that directly led to the election of fucking Donald Trump. [laughing] Thatâs our world now! We had Reagan before, and Governor Schwarzenegger. But President Donald Trump? Itâs just weird. Everything is just weird.â Theoutline Reflecting On Loose Change o While the director was in the right to ask questions, he failed to ask the most obvious ones.
o However, his lead âresearcher,â Jason Bermas, would turn out to be a full blown MAGA wingnut.
Patriot Jason Bermas o Anyone that would benefit politically and financially from 9/11
should be fully investigated.

o Mainly a shopping mall operator.
·
Brookfield Properties:
o A Canadian firm valued at over $20 billion in 2000.
·
Vornado Realty Trust:
o Worth an estimated $2-3 billion. Had the highest bid, but was unexpectedly outed by the Port Authority Chairman, paving the way for Silversteinâs win. CEO of Vornado Trust,
Steven Roth would later do many deals with Trump in 2005 and beyond.
·
Larry Silverstein:
o As mentioned, was nearly bankrupt in the 1980s, and was mysteriously awarded the right to lease the World Trade Center contract at $3.2 billion, twice the original asking price of 1.2 Billion. It would still be owned by the Port authority of NY and NJ, he would just own the rights to lease it.
o Port Authority Chairman, Lewis Eisenberg, made this unexplained decision, who also later became Trumps
lead fundraiser in 2015.
o After putting down only $125 million, as per the contract, Silverstein would be getting back $100 million just 6 weeks after his bid and with an uncommon terrorist insurance addition. His exaggerated bid and insurance contract would also greatly inflate the amount of money he could get from an insurance claim. If the winning bid was 1.5 billion, the insurance payout would also have been much less.
o In real estate, its quite rare for a prudent investor to bid twice the asking price, as demonstrated by the other companies that backed out, of which I find no connections to Trump.
o If anyone had known about 9/11 ahead of time,
like Trump claims he did, it would become drastically easier to outbid all competitors, knowing that for pennies on the dollar, you would be getting much more back.

Twin Towers Fund and Privatization: · Giuliani privatized the Twin Towers relief funds, making them unauditable.
NY Times Article on Privatization NY Post Article: Giuliani and Twin Towers Fund 4. Survivors Threaten To SUE Guliani For Relief Funds · Even after privatizing the twin towers fund, Giuliani would make it incredibly difficult for the victims to receive their fair share. Requiring many of them to spend unnecessary money on advisors and consultants.
· Even with their legal pressure, he only agreed to âgive the remaining 100 million to victims,â out of 170 million, if he could first put the money into the bank account of a charity in which he controlled.
· From the attached article: âBut Harold Schaitberger, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, said that he remained adamantly opposed to any transfer of funds to Mr. Giuliani's charity.
He also objected to Mr. Giuliani's continued control over even the $15 million in his private charity. Mr. Giuliani, he charged, gives every indication of using the Twin Towers Fund to maintain a staff of loyal supporters and to advance his political aspirations.
'The concern that politics will infiltrate the fund becomes even more apparent when one reviews the list of the mayor's former political appointees who are assuming senior staff positions or serving on the fund's board of directors,'' he wrote in a letter on Monday to Eliot L. Spitzer, the state attorney general.â

SurvivorNet: Giulianiâs Cancer Silversteinâs Unscrupulous Greed 1.
Initial Settlement Demands and Profit Claims: · Despite only having been out for $25 million, Silverstein initially sought nearly $8 BILLION in insurance settlements and argued for "loss of revenue from those buildings," which is quite an uncompassionate claim considering how many lost their lives.
Talk about a prime example of the working and lower classes making sacrifices while rich elites complain they didnât profit enough from the same tragedy. 2.
Rebuilding Contributions and Insurance Payout: · Despite the fact that he only owned the
leasing rights to the twin towers, âSilverstein Propertiesâ received up to $4 billion from insurance payouts, instead of the Port Authority, which would be customary as the owner.
· While it's assumed that most of that money went to rebuilding, this isn't actually known or proven. It would be different if he had a separate insurance policy that was not connected to the rebuilding of the towers, with different monies going to the Port Authority to rebuild. This was not the case.
History.com: Rebuilding of Ground Zero · He additionally
refused to return the rights of
Building 1 to the Port Authority until he secured
additional funds from an $8 billion state fund. Talk about heartless.
Wikipedia: Larry Silverstein · Various entities would contribute a total of $20 billion to rebuild all six damaged or destroyed towers, including four towers leased by Silverstein and two others he hadn't. This makes it unlikely that he had to go out of pocket with his 4 Billion.
3.
Estimated Net Worth: · While earlier records of Silverstein's net worth are unavailable, aside from his near bankruptcy in 1980, he is currently estimated to be worth around $1 billion.
Forbes Profile: Larry Silverstein Silversteinâs Controversial Alignment with Trump Larry Silverstein's connections and public persona have often been scrutinized. This scrutiny became particularly relevant in 2015 when he publicly displayed his support for Donald Trump:
- Long-standing Relationship: Silverstein revealed a 30-year-long acquaintance with Trump, emphasizing the depth of their connection. This means his relationship started in 1985, roughly two years after gaining a powerful criminal organization as a tenant in his tower 7, that saved him from bankruptcy, and 6 years before Trumps first, of many, bankruptcies. This also means they knew each other before 9/11.
- Supportive Yet Vague: He commended Trump for diligently pursuing what he believed to be right, echoing Trump's own ambiguous rhetoric. When pressed about the righteousness of Trumpâs goals, Silverstein ambiguously responded, "well, itâs... you know... weâll find out." This mirrors Trumpâs evasive " Well, we're going to have to see what happens" stance, when questioned about committing to a peaceful transfer of power prior to January 6thâan event that ultimately unfolded with violence and chaos.
- Early Endorsement: By voicing his support when Trump announced his presidential campaign, Silverstein positioned himself as one of the early prominent figures in the MAGA movement.

He also made an unfounded claim that he saw thousands of Muslims in New Jersey cheering, a statement that has been widely debunked.

Visit to Ground Zero: o A week after the attacks, Trump visited Ground Zero and stated that although he was present, he wouldnât consider himself a first responder. This attempt at humility struck many as morbidly insensitive, considering the true heroism displayed by actual first responders.
ABC News: Trump Shares New Details About Morning of 9/11 Legacy of Suspicion: These actions paint Trump as one of the more suspicious figures post-9/11, who may have used the tragedy for personal and political gain. His connections with figures like Larry Silverstein and Lewis Eisenberg, the Port Authority chairman, hint at deep financial interests potentially influenced by the 9/11 aftermath. Meanwhile, survivors and first responders faced challenges in securing support, highlighting the disparities between their experiences and the political maneuvers at play. Again morbidly juxtaposing the struggles of the poor and working class versus elite swamp members such as Trump and his ilk.
While being, arguably, one of the more suspicious Americans of potentially âbeing an insider," Trump would go on to cast doubt everywhere else with his new holier than thou rhetoric and hints and claims that âit was an inside jobâ for the next 15 years.
What if he was speaking from
personal experience.
The Deepfake Dilemma Now in a world where Trump's followers already discount reality, the emergence of AI-generated deepfakes threatens to further distort the truth. This technology could transform legal standards of evidence, making it easy to dismiss genuine evidence against the right as fabricated, while baseless accusations against the left might be accepted as the long-awaited proof.
The Potential Escalation of MAGA Actions Given the willingness of MAGA supporters to storm the Capitol on January 6th, bolstered by Trump's incendiary rhetoric, the potential for escalation is alarming. The advent of fabricated images and videos could present unprecedented national security threats.
Trump's Incendiary Rhetoric on January 6th Trump's speech on January 6th was a clear incitement, as he urged his followers to "fight like hell" to "stop the steal," despite admitting DURING THE SPEECH that there was no evidence of the massive electoral fraud he claimed. As well as his lawyers laughable court âarguments.â
â...while there is no evidence to prove any wrongdoingâŠâ Npr.Org Read Trumps Jan 6 Speech LawAndCrime Come On Now This speech, coupled with his undermining of constitutional processes, underscores the risks and intentional deceit of his rhetoric. Too bad Republicans senators and our Supreme Court have either claimed he was above the law, or continue to postpone his court dates till after elections. A wild position when treason is on the table. Did that dude commit treason that claims he wants to become a dictator? I dunno, lets let him potentially get elected and then find out!
Elon Musk's Political Shift Elon was once very much a leftist, unfortunately in more and more far left âactivistsâ continue to attack him endlessly for not agreeing with them on their own singular issues and perspectives. To them I say congratulations, you successfully pushed the most powerful man on earth into the far right. Great job. Great job.
Elon Musk's journey from a liberal supporter to a figure embraced by the far right highlights the volatile nature of political affiliations in today's polarized environment. His actions since acquiring Twitterâsuch as promoting unfounded conspiracy theories and making high-profile firingsâsuggest a departure from his initial free speech advocacy.
Especially when considering he fired Don Lemon from his platform for an
interview he found offensive. Canceling opinions you find offensive isnât free speech, itâs literally the opposite. Iâm sure many people were offended by the examples below. What about them?

6 The Need for a Critical Approach Supporters of Trump should critically evaluate why he did not pardon the January 6th insurrectionists during his term, despite using them as political leverage now. This pattern of using allies until they are no longer useful is evident throughout his political and personal dealings.
What better example could there possibly be as to what trump truly thinks of his supporters, how sacrificial he sees them as part of his endless narratives, then his refusal and failure to pardon January 6th insurrectionists while still in office?
Of course, anyone âjust on the grassâ or outside the building should only get a day in jail at most, however people that barged inside the capital should naturally get much more.
And while trump refused to pardon those people before, he now calls them âhostagesâ and is
using them as political bait to a truly wild degree. It's very likely he will make good on this promise to further embolden the narrative that âDemocrats are trying to take you down and only I can save you.â
His supporters need to seriously ask, âWhy didnât he pardon us before?â
Also, remember when he claimed he would
pay legal fees for supporters that were violent at his rallies, but then seemed to falter and change his mind. Much like how Amber Heard donated her money, âby pledging it.â
List of allies he was quick to discard or dump. And let's face it, all of these people have done more for him than the average MAGA supporter. The only person he cares about is himself.
Trump claims that Mike Pence, the man he vetted more than anyone else, â
has gone to the dark side.â
Trump
seems to have supported the chants to âHang Mike Pense,â at least in jest? We hope? There are also no links of him condemning them. Yet admittedly this one point doesnât have hard evidence like a recording or video as far as I know, it certainly fits his brand.
Mike Flynn, a Trump appointee,
later testifies against him.
Trump
admits Flynn lied on his behalf, accidentally testifying against him, but does pardon him. As long as youâre colluding with Russia youâre ok it seems?
The Future Under Trump's Influence Trump's rhetoric about overriding constitutional norms to address what he calls "massive fraud" hints at authoritarian aspirations. His praise for dictators and divisive language further aligns with dangerous historical precedents.

âA Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.â
Stated he intended to be a
Dictator on day one, but then promises it will be just for a day. Is that how that works? Or is it âOnce you go Dictator you donât go back?â
Praising dictators, referring to immigrants as vermin etc, akin to Hitlers rhetoric against âblood mixing.â
More fraudulent use of lawyers and courts that gets everyone else in trouble but him, with them arguing he's above the law. This further shows how much he will consistently use people for his own ends and then dump them when they're no longer of use.

Predicting MAGA 2024 And Beyond Naturally there are endless possibilities of what MAGA and dictators around the world decide to do this year and into the future. I believe that the one thing that insinuates when it's time for their next evil actions is dictated by their standings in the polls or when a fellow dictator needs a little more political pressure from war torn inflated oil prices etc.
Dictators Unite While writing my thesis, I speculated that dictators globally were uniting, finding mutual benefits in their governance and deceitful tactics. This theory is increasingly recognized as these autocrats appear to be forming a coalition, undermining peaceful unity efforts through conspiracy theories to preserve their power.
Unherd How Autocrats Unite The True Nature of MAGA MAGA was never genuinely about speaking truth to power or restoring America's glory. It has been an elaborate scheme funded by immense wealth, perpetuating anti-American sentiments through fabricated grassroots movements by domestic and foreign actors. This movement has primarily enriched a select few power-hungry dictators and may have been responsible for some of our most horrific moments in history in the past and acts yet to come.
Trump and MAGA While 'MAGA' predates Trump, he conveniently stepped into a role long in the making. Despite occasional deviations from the MAGA ideology, such as promoting vaccines to emphatic boos, Trump has largely embodied its principles. The real architects of MAGA, however, are likely disillusioned with his unpredictable attacks, which contradict their broader agenda of absolute power.
Nbc News Donald Trump Booed Trump as a Martyr Regardless of election outcomes, Trump is poised to claim interference. His rhetoric and the devout belief of his followers in his divine anointment could lead to his martyrdom, especially given his age and the vulnerabilities it brings. This martyrdom could solidify his legacy while serving the interests of MAGA strategists who find him increasingly burdensome even if he âwins.â

u/neodestiny and friends.
For the sake of transparency, I am not the architect of the following discoveries, and am just helping to forward their message and clean it up. Copywrite of the following work belongs to no one and everyone is not only welcome to share these findings as if they were their own, but openly encouraged to do so.
Introduction If you think you know anything about MAGA. Trust me, you know nothing. Not even his most devout followers or haters will have considered the following. And for the sake of our democracy and way of life, I hope people read this.
This work may very well help to shift the narrative on Trump in a meaningful and foundational way, but I don't want this work exacerbate any feelings of ill will to MAGA members, for they have been prey to possibly one of the largest con jobs our world has ever seen, especially without the help of this counternarrative.
Snippet From My Thesis On MAGA As I work on tidying up the master file with the helpful dms I got, allow me to post just the most contentious part of it below, now that itâs able to stand on its own.
MAGA didnât begin in 2015. I argue it began in 2001 on 9/11, while also harnessing and funneling decades of anti-government resentment till many Americans would openly call for a âwrecking ballâ figure to help âdrain the swamp.â
A Key Fueling Factor To American Outrage- Inflation Many elements contributed to growing American anger that would later contribute to MAGA, this is a snippet from the larger work.
Rising Cost of Living o In 1950, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 24.1. By 2000, it had risen to 168 (a 597% increase), and by 2023, it had reached 304.7, a 1163% increase from 1950.
o Housing prices saw a drastic rise overtime, with the median home price increasing from $7,354 in 1950 to $388,700 in 2023, a staggering
5185% increase.
o While rising rent costs can contribute to overall inflation and cost of living, even the left has largely failed to address how exponentially increasing real estate prices impact the cost of living. This omission has made many other conspiracy theories seem more plausible in its wake.
o If we donât find real solutions for real estate that also arenât extreme, then society will feel more and more pressure to accept âunreasonable solutionsâ like Trump, even though heâs the last person on earth who could solve it, considering his business acumen and history.
MAGA Dynamics and Blind Devotion In 2016, it wasn't just the left calling the MAGA movement a cult. Trump famously said, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters." Even the left failed to grasp the gravity of this statement. As someone who nearly died in a deadly cult and based on my research, I don't know of a single cult where the founder could openly commit murder without losing members. Trump didn't just believe he'd created one of the largest cults ever; he believed he'd created the most fanatical. Let's hope his followers prove him wrong by showing a willingness to criticize him, regardless of their vote.
The MAGA Question Instead of challenging MAGA supporters on fallacious beliefs, ask them this question to see if theyâre at least able to see a world where Trump isnât a biblical King: "If Trump admitted he was behind 9/11 and used resulting insurance money and donations from hostile governments to create false âgrass rootâ campaigns. And did it all in a way to make it seem like others committed his own atrocities. And that he intended to destroy America in every way if he got elected, would you still vote for him?"
Yet even then, getting through to a MAGA supporter inevitably refers to 9/11 âresearchâ out there when they realize individual positions are usually fallacious. This quagmire me decide to investigate this tragedy, to see if there was a more plausible counter theory. Honestly, the more I looked the more surprised I became. Here are my findings that are but a snippet of my full thesis on MAGA.
9/11 Conspiracy Theories and MAGA Conspiracy Theories and Credibility: o First off, conspiracy theories should involve some effort to verify narratives, rather than just repeating claims across multiple sources that mistake themselves as evidence; like a bunch of people who repeat âbob fartedâ across multiple websites may see that as evidence, when in fact, it was Sean. Sorry Sean.
Early Origins of MAGA: o Although some believe MAGA began in 2015, its roots lie as early as the 1980s with Rush Limbaugh and later became "serious" on 9/11.
o 9/11 conspiracy theories claim controlled demolitions were used, but the lack of any cellphone recordings of explosions weakens this theory.
Suspicious Factors: o The official narrative involving chaotic jet fuel leading to a straight fall seemed questionable.
o The collapse of a third building (WTC 7), which wasnât directly hit, fueled suspicions.
o Airline stocks were heavily shorted before the attacks, raising concerns about insider trading.
Harvey Pitt, Republican SEC Chairman at the time, investigated this and claimed there was nothing amiss, but was criticized for later crimes and forced to resign.
o Itâs also suspicious that in Trumps 2000 book âThe America We Deserveâ that he stated, âI really am convinced weâre in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the [1993] bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers. No sensible analyst rejects this possibility, and plenty of them, like me, are not wondering if but when it will happen*.â*
§ Yet democrats would largely miss this point entirely and obsess over his false claim that he called for Bin Laden to be killed, when he had not. Somehow conspiracy theorists would find this âcoolâ rather than suspicious. CNN Fact Check Donald Trump Osama Bin Laden Book Claim Reports and Simplified Narratives: o FEMA's 2002 report and NIST's 2005 report provided technical explanations of the tower collapses.
o However, the Port Authority Chairman stuck to the oversimplified narrative that "jet fuel melted steel beams," even though he knew this was a half-truth, as detailed in the next section, fueling anti-government conspiracies. The question is why.
Potential Impact: o 9/11 conspiracy theories sowed distrust in the government, which may have been one of the attackers' objectives. Anyone that heavily profited from this tragedy, and helped further those objects, should be questioned.
o The âLoose Changeâ âdocumentaryâ pointed out suspicious parts of the story, but failed to give any clear claims as to who was purportedly behind it. It also failed to note the Twin Towers titanic design flaw that could result in a straight fall. Even the 2015 version of this film fails to mention nearly all of the known facts in this report.
o The Director of that film later states:
âI DONâT THINK WEâD HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP IF IT WERENâT FOR 9/11â â9/11 created a culture of fear, of xenophobia, this sense of entitlement and everything weâve seen. Warrantless wire-tapping, Guantanamo Bay, everything thatâs happened led us to this point, we wouldnât be here without 9/11. They want to kick out all the Mexicans and Muslims because of this culture of fear and bigotry and xenophobia that directly led to the election of fucking Donald Trump. [laughing] Thatâs our world now! We had Reagan before, and Governor Schwarzenegger. But President Donald Trump? Itâs just weird. Everything is just weird.â Theoutline Reflecting On Loose Change o While the director was in the right to ask questions, he failed to ask the most obvious ones.
o However, his lead âresearcher,â Jason Bermas, would turn out to be a full blown MAGA wingnut.
Patriot Jason Bermas o Anyone that would benefit politically and financially from 9/11
should be fully investigated.

The Twin Towers and Larry Silverstein Architectural Pitfalls of the Twin Towers: · The Twin Towers had unique architectural flaws due to the
excessive heavy load on their exoskeletons
to allow for more floor and leasing space, which greatly contributed to their straight collapse after the 9/11 attacks. This was the first and last skyscraper made in this way.
· For anyone who said that âany other building would have fallen sideways,â you were right, though perhaps not entirely how you may have imagined. A "Coke Can" analogy shows how a similar weakened structure can result in a straight fall, contrary to conspiracy theories claiming controlled demolitions. This isn't something I'm asking you to take for granted, or to read from media sources you donât trust. This is something you can verify on your own, in person, in real time, in reality.
· However Trump, despite being close friends with Silverstein as weâll cover later, claimed "It wasnât architectural defects, you know, the World Trade Center was always known as a very, very strong buildingâ per the attached PolitiFact article.

· I don't know how many of us understand the level of desperation a situation like this can cause in someone and how many potential crimes it can easily push them towards.
· He is known for then saying,
ââŠlooking up at the twin towers and thinking, my building is huge, but it is made diminutive by the twin towers. So I said to myself, wouldn't it be incredible someday to own those?" That's not the statement of a sane person who nearly went bankrupt, and if anything, hints towards jealousy.

Further Reading: Manhattan Institute: Rebuilding Ground Zero · Tom Leppert was the CEO of Turner construction which right wing conspiracy theorists claimed helped ensure the towers would fall straight down. He also became part of Trumps transition team. While thereâs no evidence of explosives being used, tampering with the exoskeleton and weaking the relatively thin central column ahead of time are theoretically plausible.
Huffpost Donald Trump Transition Team Wikipedia Tom Leppert The bidding for the World Trade Center lease involved only a few major real estate firms as allowed by the Port Authority Chairman. Below are the allowed bidders and their estimated worth at the time included:
·
Donald J. Trumpâs Organization: o Worth around $1.5 billion in 1996 after multiple bankruptcies. Confirmed only by Forbes magazine in 2005.
·
Tishman Speyer:
o Valued at approximately $1.8 billion in 2000, would soon face âtenant issuesâ with many scrupulous legal claims against them.
·

o Worth a few million.
·
Mortimer Zuckermanâs Boston Properties:
o Mortimer Zuckerman alone was worth around $2 billion.
·

o Mainly a shopping mall operator.

o A Canadian firm valued at over $20 billion in 2000.
·
Vornado Realty Trust:
o Worth an estimated $2-3 billion. Had the highest bid, but was unexpectedly outed by the Port Authority Chairman, paving the way for Silversteinâs win. CEO of Vornado Trust,
Steven Roth would later do many deals with Trump in 2005 and beyond.
·
Larry Silverstein:
o As mentioned, was nearly bankrupt in the 1980s, and was mysteriously awarded the right to lease the World Trade Center contract at $3.2 billion, twice the original asking price of 1.2 Billion. It would still be owned by the Port authority of NY and NJ, he would just own the rights to lease it.
o Port Authority Chairman, Lewis Eisenberg, made this unexplained decision, who also later became Trumps
lead fundraiser in 2015.
o After putting down only $125 million, as per the contract, Silverstein would be getting back $100 million just 6 weeks after his bid and with an uncommon terrorist insurance addition. His exaggerated bid and insurance contract would also greatly inflate the amount of money he could get from an insurance claim. If the winning bid was 1.5 billion, the insurance payout would also have been much less.
o In real estate, its quite rare for a prudent investor to bid twice the asking price, as demonstrated by the other companies that backed out, of which I find no connections to Trump.
o If anyone had known about 9/11 ahead of time,
like Trump claims he did, it would become drastically easier to outbid all competitors, knowing that for pennies on the dollar, you would be getting much more back.

· From the attached article: âBut Harold Schaitberger, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, said that he remained adamantly opposed to any transfer of funds to Mr. Giuliani's charity.
He also objected to Mr. Giuliani's continued control over even the $15 million in his private charity. Mr. Giuliani, he charged, gives every indication of using the Twin Towers Fund to maintain a staff of loyal supporters and to advance his political aspirations.
'The concern that politics will infiltrate the fund becomes even more apparent when one reviews the list of the mayor's former political appointees who are assuming senior staff positions or serving on the fund's board of directors,'' he wrote in a letter on Monday to Eliot L. Spitzer, the state attorney general.â

SurvivorNet: Giulianiâs Cancer Silversteinâs Unscrupulous Greed 1.
Initial Settlement Demands and Profit Claims: · Despite only having been out for $25 million, Silverstein initially sought nearly $8 BILLION in insurance settlements and argued for "loss of revenue from those buildings," which is quite an uncompassionate claim considering how many lost their lives.
Talk about a prime example of the working and lower classes making sacrifices while rich elites complain they didnât profit enough from the same tragedy. 2.
Rebuilding Contributions and Insurance Payout: · Despite the fact that he only owned the
leasing rights to the twin towers, âSilverstein Propertiesâ received up to $4 billion from insurance payouts, instead of the Port Authority, which would be customary as the owner.
· While it's assumed that most of that money went to rebuilding, this isn't actually known or proven. It would be different if he had a separate insurance policy that was not connected to the rebuilding of the towers, with different monies going to the Port Authority to rebuild. This was not the case.
History.com: Rebuilding of Ground Zero · He additionally
refused to return the rights of
Building 1 to the Port Authority until he secured
additional funds from an $8 billion state fund. Talk about heartless.
Wikipedia: Larry Silverstein · Various entities would contribute a total of $20 billion to rebuild all six damaged or destroyed towers, including four towers leased by Silverstein and two others he hadn't. This makes it unlikely that he had to go out of pocket with his 4 Billion.
3.
Estimated Net Worth: · While earlier records of Silverstein's net worth are unavailable, aside from his near bankruptcy in 1980, he is currently estimated to be worth around $1 billion.
Forbes Profile: Larry Silverstein Silversteinâs Controversial Alignment with Trump Larry Silverstein's connections and public persona have often been scrutinized. This scrutiny became particularly relevant in 2015 when he publicly displayed his support for Donald Trump:
- Long-standing Relationship: Silverstein revealed a 30-year-long acquaintance with Trump, emphasizing the depth of their connection. This means his relationship started in 1985, roughly two years after gaining a powerful criminal organization as a tenant in his tower 7, that saved him from bankruptcy, and 6 years before Trumps first, of many, bankruptcies. This also means they knew each other before 9/11.
- Supportive Yet Vague: He commended Trump for diligently pursuing what he believed to be right, echoing Trump's own ambiguous rhetoric. When pressed about the righteousness of Trumpâs goals, Silverstein ambiguously responded, "well, itâs... you know... weâll find out." This mirrors Trumpâs evasive " Well, we're going to have to see what happens" stance, when questioned about committing to a peaceful transfer of power prior to January 6thâan event that ultimately unfolded with violence and chaos.
- Early Endorsement: By voicing his support when Trump announced his presidential campaign, Silverstein positioned himself as one of the early prominent figures in the MAGA movement.

FactCheck.org: Trumpâs Revised 9/11 Claim ·
Visit to Ground Zero: o A week after the attacks, Trump visited Ground Zero and stated that although he was present, he wouldnât consider himself a first responder. This attempt at humility struck many as morbidly insensitive, considering the true heroism displayed by actual first responders.
ABC News: Trump Shares New Details About Morning of 9/11 Legacy of Suspicion: These actions paint Trump as one of the more suspicious figures post-9/11, who may have used the tragedy for personal and political gain. His connections with figures like Larry Silverstein and Lewis Eisenberg, the Port Authority chairman, hint at deep financial interests potentially influenced by the 9/11 aftermath. Meanwhile, survivors and first responders faced challenges in securing support, highlighting the disparities between their experiences and the political maneuvers at play. Again morbidly juxtaposing the struggles of the poor and working class versus elite swamp members such as Trump and his ilk.
While being, arguably, one of the more suspicious Americans of potentially âbeing an insider," Trump would go on to cast doubt everywhere else with his new holier than thou rhetoric and hints and claims that âit was an inside jobâ for the next 15 years.
What if he was speaking from
personal experience.
The Deepfake Dilemma Now in a world where Trump's followers already discount reality, the emergence of AI-generated deepfakes threatens to further distort the truth. This technology could transform legal standards of evidence, making it easy to dismiss genuine evidence against the right as fabricated, while baseless accusations against the left might be accepted as the long-awaited proof.
The Potential Escalation of MAGA Actions Given the willingness of MAGA supporters to storm the Capitol on January 6th, bolstered by Trump's incendiary rhetoric, the potential for escalation is alarming. The advent of fabricated images and videos could present unprecedented national security threats.
Trump's Incendiary Rhetoric on January 6th Trump's speech on January 6th was a clear incitement, as he urged his followers to "fight like hell" to "stop the steal," despite admitting DURING THE SPEECH that there was no evidence of the massive electoral fraud he claimed. As well as his lawyers laughable court âarguments.â
â...while there is no evidence to prove any wrongdoingâŠâ Npr.Org Read Trumps Jan 6 Speech LawAndCrime Come On Now This speech, coupled with his undermining of constitutional processes, underscores the risks and intentional deceit of his rhetoric. Too bad Republicans senators and our Supreme Court have either claimed he was above the law, or continue to postpone his court dates till after elections. A wild position when treason is on the table. Did that dude commit treason that claims he wants to become a dictator? I dunno, lets let him potentially get elected and then find out!
Elon Musk's Political Shift Elon was once very much a leftist, unfortunately in more and more far left âactivistsâ continue to attack him endlessly for not agreeing with them on their own singular issues and perspectives. To them I say congratulations, you successfully pushed the most powerful man on earth into the far right. Great job. Great job.
Elon Musk's journey from a liberal supporter to a figure embraced by the far right highlights the volatile nature of political affiliations in today's polarized environment. His actions since acquiring Twitterâsuch as promoting unfounded conspiracy theories and making high-profile firingsâsuggest a departure from his initial free speech advocacy.
Especially when considering he fired Don Lemon from his platform for an
interview he found offensive. Canceling opinions you find offensive isnât free speech, itâs literally the opposite. Iâm sure many people were offended by the examples below. What about them?

6 The Need for a Critical Approach Supporters of Trump should critically evaluate why he did not pardon the January 6th insurrectionists during his term, despite using them as political leverage now. This pattern of using allies until they are no longer useful is evident throughout his political and personal dealings.
What better example could there possibly be as to what trump truly thinks of his supporters, how sacrificial he sees them as part of his endless narratives, then his refusal and failure to pardon January 6th insurrectionists while still in office?
Of course, anyone âjust on the grassâ or outside the building should only get a day in jail at most, however people that barged inside the capital should naturally get much more.
And while trump refused to pardon those people before, he now calls them âhostagesâ and is
using them as political bait to a truly wild degree. It's very likely he will make good on this promise to further embolden the narrative that âDemocrats are trying to take you down and only I can save you.â
His supporters need to seriously ask, âWhy didnât he pardon us before?â
Also, remember when he claimed he would
pay legal fees for supporters that were violent at his rallies, but then seemed to falter and change his mind. Much like how Amber Heard donated her money, âby pledging it.â
List of allies he was quick to discard or dump. And let's face it, all of these people have done more for him than the average MAGA supporter. The only person he cares about is himself.
Trump claims that Mike Pence, the man he vetted more than anyone else, â
has gone to the dark side.â
Trump
seems to have supported the chants to âHang Mike Pense,â at least in jest? We hope? There are also no links of him condemning them. Yet admittedly this one point doesnât have hard evidence like a recording or video as far as I know, it certainly fits his brand.
Mike Flynn, a Trump appointee,
later testifies against him.
Trump
admits Flynn lied on his behalf, accidentally testifying against him, but does pardon him. As long as youâre colluding with Russia youâre ok it seems?
The Future Under Trump's Influence Trump's rhetoric about overriding constitutional norms to address what he calls "massive fraud" hints at authoritarian aspirations. His praise for dictators and divisive language further aligns with dangerous historical precedents.

To predict the future lets base it on known facts:
Apparently, he will help attack our constitution like he may have with the Twin Towers.
âA Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.â
Stated he intended to be a
Dictator on day one, but then promises it will be just for a day. Is that how that works? Or is it âOnce you go Dictator you donât go back?â
Praising dictators, referring to immigrants as vermin etc, akin to Hitlers rhetoric against âblood mixing.â
More fraudulent use of lawyers and courts that gets everyone else in trouble but him, with them arguing he's above the law. This further shows how much he will consistently use people for his own ends and then dump them when they're no longer of use.

on ass kissing. As well as being generally unfit for office.
If you want help from Trump you better kiss his ***

Predicting MAGA 2024 And Beyond Naturally there are endless possibilities of what MAGA and dictators around the world decide to do this year and into the future. I believe that the one thing that insinuates when it's time for their next evil actions is dictated by their standings in the polls or when a fellow dictator needs a little more political pressure from war torn inflated oil prices etc.
Dictators Unite While writing my thesis, I speculated that dictators globally were uniting, finding mutual benefits in their governance and deceitful tactics. This theory is increasingly recognized as these autocrats appear to be forming a coalition, undermining peaceful unity efforts through conspiracy theories to preserve their power.
Unherd How Autocrats Unite The True Nature of MAGA MAGA was never genuinely about speaking truth to power or restoring America's glory. It has been an elaborate scheme funded by immense wealth, perpetuating anti-American sentiments through fabricated grassroots movements by domestic and foreign actors. This movement has primarily enriched a select few power-hungry dictators and may have been responsible for some of our most horrific moments in history in the past and acts yet to come.
Trump and MAGA While 'MAGA' predates Trump, he conveniently stepped into a role long in the making. Despite occasional deviations from the MAGA ideology, such as promoting vaccines to emphatic boos, Trump has largely embodied its principles. The real architects of MAGA, however, are likely disillusioned with his unpredictable attacks, which contradict their broader agenda of absolute power.
Nbc News Donald Trump Booed Trump as a Martyr Regardless of election outcomes, Trump is poised to claim interference. His rhetoric and the devout belief of his followers in his divine anointment could lead to his martyrdom, especially given his age and the vulnerabilities it brings. This martyrdom could solidify his legacy while serving the interests of MAGA strategists who find him increasingly burdensome even if he âwins.â

2024.05.12 10:58 Plane-Palpitation126 A frank discussion about paying to win from a Crotchety Old Bastardâą
I have never in my adult life seen such an explosion of people calling anything outside of a gun skin 'pay to win' content than I have since the Unheard Edition drama from BSG, and I'm frankly sick to bastard death of every other extraction shooter catching a cold just because Nikita sneezed, so let's talk about what pay to win actually is, and where ABI needs to draw the line in order to not derail its own hype train that, all going well, will see it at least eat into Tarkov's playerbase outside the wipe hype months.
I'm getting older, and I remember the first time I ever had adult money being around the release of the first iPhone and not long after it, the free-to-play revolution with the rise of League of Legends (unfortunately) and an explosion in the popularity of mobile gaming. Come 2012-ish, the evil geniuses at Clash of Clans and Candy Crush (and eventually the slimy pricks at EA) realised that if even just a small percentage of their player base could be manipulated into spending small amounts of money often enough, they could make way, way more than they could with traditional one-and-done license agreements.
It sucks, it's evil and it's been discussed to death. Even South Park did an episode about it. But it was so popular and so lucrative that it became a sort of de-facto standard for live service games to try and hook a few thousand whales and keep the freeloaders around to basically serve as content for the people spending thousands a year on a 'free' or heavily discounted game.
For someone casually playing something like Candy Crush (one of the first games I ever encountered that was truly pay to win) on their lunch break, it maybe doesn't matter so much if players paying for the game get to use more moves and skip a few levels ahead - right up until the point where the free players are competing to finish a level first to get paid currency to even allow them to finish a level at all. It then becomes pretty tempting to shell out a few bucks here and there to beat the level, if you have that kind of genetic makeup, because you are quite literally shelling out cash to skip levels and progress in the game. It's extremely direct. Sick of not being able to beat a level ('win')? Spent $10 and we got you, you can go back to crushing your candies or whatever the fuck.
Of course, you can fetter away as much time as you want playing Candy Crush on your own without spending a cent, but a game that is more concretely social and has a strong PVP element is a different story, right? You can't just give people who spend heaps of money on a free to play game Ubermensch superpowers, right? That defeats the purpose of keeping the freeloaders around at all, because they won't stick around if it's as trivial as someone else parting with a few bucks to make a fight impossible for them to win.
Wrong. Diablo Immortal made $500mil against an $11mil budget in its first year, and has some of the most egregious pay to win mechanics any of us have ever seen (outside of those insane China-only MMORPGs).
In Diablo Immortal (when it came out), you could pay actual money to:
- Increase the likelihood or even guarantee spawns of legendary gems that directly boost your character when you do certain dungeons and allow you to bypass stat caps (while bypassing caps placed on the quality free to play characters get on those gems),
- Use those gems to increase your resonance and overpower your character even more,
- 'Awaken' your gear to open up slots to get even more pay-to-win gems that buffed your character, even in PvP.
This is a direct exchange of money for increasing your odds of winning individual fights and beating other players.
This is paying to win the game. It's the same as Candy Crush letting you spend money to not have to compete with the other players over the gold bars you need to finish some levels, except it's even worse because free-to-play players have a hard cap on how good the RNG legendary gems they do find can ever be.
People have been talking about EoD in Tarkov being pay to win for over half a decade now and the argument has become pretty irrelevant because despite the huge furore in the months after it was announced, it wound up meaning very little. You get some extra stuff when a wipe starts, but none of it is anything worth writing home about because you'll have access to it all anyway once you hit 15 and unlock the flea.
One thing people get a bee in their bonnet about is the secure container. The Gamma case in Tarkov is one of the main things you can buy to make the first couple of wipes you play a little more bearable. Those 5 extra worry-free slots mean you wind up spending less money replacing meds and ammo in the early game and, if you are like me and suck and die a lot early-wipe, you can hang onto juicy bits of loot to help you get a head start. The fact of the matter is, though, for your first wipe or two, you are still going to be fucking awful at the game and have a pretty miserable time for the most part because that's just the nature of the beast.
You also get a bigger stash, which helps you spend less time selling stuff and organising your loot and saves you a lot of Roubles upgrading it the unpaid way.
Is that actually
paying to win, though? Especially considering the Kappa container is available to everyone for the same amount of effort, and that you can upgrade your stash (with a huge amount of effort - I did it my first two wipes, never again) to EoD level without spending any money?
No. It's not even in the fucking ballpark compared to Diablo Immortal or what EA tried to pull with the lootboxes in Battlefront 2 or any of the other unconscionable shit these companies have pulled in the P2W industry in the last decade. Your minute-to-minute raiding experience is not impacted by having a standard account over an EoD account. My gamma has never once won me a firefight, eaten a bullet for me, saved me a hot dime on a flea market purchase, increased my health pool, increased my damage, given me bonus XP, or given me extra stamina, and in fact the better I got at the game the less I found I needed it at all. Its sole function is to hold keys and injectors, and to save you some time having to grind out roubles to buy ammo and meds by sparing you from losing them if you do die. That's it. The key point is, if you manage to extract, your gamma was basically worthless.
Enter ABI's monetization. The hysterics over this game
MAYBE having subscription secure containers needs to stop. It is a perfectly fine way to monetize a free-to-play extraction shooter. It's $5 a month in the mobile version, which would require you to use it consistently for over 2 years to equal a single EoD purchase. Considering I usually dip out 3-4 months into a wipe, I probably would have come out even.
Where Tarkov did go wrong with EoD, and what I see no one ever talking about, is the trader rep bonus. Holy shit. This did and does to this day completely easy-mode the first 20 levels of a wipe for my EoD account. This is incontrovertibly paying to win. Starting a wipe 10 quests for each trader ahead of standard edition accounts in trader rep is criminal. Since I bought EoD I have never been gatekept by rep to level up a trader, not once. That means I have earlier and cheaper access to better ammo and armour and weapon parts and there's just straight up nothing a standard account can do to catch up to me.
TL:DR; What I'm getting at is, it is
not P2W and is in fact pure pay-for-convenience/expression to monetize:
- Obviously, anything purely cosmetic,
- Any means of reducing some of the consequences of dying, including item insurance return times and secure containers - again, all this does is make it very slightly less punishing to die, it will never save you, get you a kill or help you extract, and a paying player will not have an edge over a free player in the minute-to-minute gameplay based on their container,
- Purchasing any gear that you already had available from traders or the flea market (i.e. cash for roubles/Koens) - I think Tarkov should even do this because it's such a laughable decision for a player to make considering how easy it is to make money once you learn the ropes, and bad players with good gear are basically loot piñatas for the rest of us. ABI makes this an even better idea since it has great inherent protection against RMT with its loot return mechanic.
It is
maybe P2W to monetize:
- Stash space - depending on the degree to which the different tiers of stash space change, and whether or not it's possible to grind stash space for free, also depends how much you need your stash space to complete tasks - from what I have seen of ABI, this is minimal.
- Flea market slots - again, how many more slots are we talking?
It is
definitely P2W to monetize:
- XP bonuses, trader rep bonuses, access to daily/weekly quests, anything that gets you through the portions of the game that unlock trader items for purchase faster,
- Direct buffs to your stats, even via consumable items - health, stamina, carrying capacity, hungethirst, breath holding duration etc. obviously with exception to injectors that any player can find or buy on the flea,
- Anything that protects you from game mechanics to which your F2P counterparts are vulnerable, such as the Unheard editions Scav Radio,
- Any exclusive items F2P players can't buy that impact minute-to-minute gameplay, like guns, optics, bags, armouhelmets, meds, grenades etc.

2024.05.11 11:29 waltjrimmer Vaults 586 Alpha and 586 Beta
Vault commissioned by: Big Mountain Research and Development Center
Location: Badlands of the Dakotas
Admittance: A random sample of locals, especially employees of the local research station, or anyone willing to move close to the vaults should be evenly distributed between the two for little to no cost so as to encourage a larger sample Access to the Alpha vault will be sold at a premium with the Beta vault being offered as a "discount" option. [JNC, junior executive at Vault-Tec wrote this change, MCL, senior executive approved]
Purpose: Study survivor behavior when forced to face the mortality of their peers.
Experiment: In the event of a nuclear attack on US soil, the vaults will be opened and allow admittance. Once sealed, Alpha and Beta will find that they have viewports, intercoms, and other ways to communicate between them. Everything will continue as normal for about two years when a manufactured "radiation leak" will contaminate Beta. Automatic systems will report a problem with the air recycling system and claim to be drawing in contaminated outside air, but the truth is that radioactive waste will be accumulated to ensure significant contamination may be achieved regardless of outside environments.
Predictions: The residents of Beta will suffer quickly from the effects of radiation exposure. Depending on where they are in the facility, their deaths may be quick but likely some residents will find the "safer" areas of the vault where their exposure will be slower. Instructions given to both Overseers will emphasize that any incident to befall one vault should be closely studied by the residents of the other under risk of imprisonment or even execution if one refuses to observe. The members of Alpha will be forced to watch their friends and neighbors die of radiation poisoning over the following weeks and months. The outcomes may be unpredictable, but observations on who is able to handle this experience and if order is able to be kept within Vault Alpha will be invaluable to Big MT and their partners. There has already been discussion of selling any analytics from the outcome to militaries in order how to prepare their soldiers or maintain order in the event of catastrophic casualties.
Vault 586 Beta Overseer's Terminal:
2077-23-10:
The worst has happened. War has come to America. We were lucky to be able to get into this vault, at least. Most of the workers got special deals, their wages were garnished and a spot for them was secured in Beta. A lot of the executives bought a spot in Alpha. We can see through the windows that they have better furniture, decorations, even food. I'm worried about my residents and how they'll maintain being forced to watch other people live better, easier lives every day. But the truth is, that's much how they lived most of their life. And many are simply thankful that they were able to survive at all.
2077-17-12
Things have been mostly smooth so far. Despite there being quite literal barriers between us, people have started getting along better than I could have expected. I think we have Overseer Elwood to thank for much of that. We've communicated frequently, and he seems like an easy man to follow. Compassionate and decisive. I think he's helping his residents connect to mine in ways they never would have on the surface. We may get through this yet.
2078-04-07
Big party today. Everyone showed up. Even Robert Parker who had been shunning any interaction with us Betas for months now. People were even talking about seeing if there was any way we could break a window to exchange gifts across the barrier or if we could maybe rig up some kind of exchange mechanism. They were talked out of it, just in case anything happens. We barely survived one disaster. We shouldn't be tempting fate any further. But I think it goes to show the sense of community we've built up between us. There's been some animosity, but it's mostly been headed off by Overseer Elwood and me. But we have a long road ahead of us and whoever comes after. It's no time to lose vigilance now.
2078-23-10
One year we've been in here now and it's starting to get to people. I've got it easier. I have a lot of people who grew up without anything in my ranks. They're used to scraping by. The Alphas, on the other hand, a bunch of spoiled brats. I'm sorry. I shouldn't say things like that about them. They're good people. Or. They CAN be good people. When they choose to be. Overseer Elwood said he had to put Pamela Perkins in containment last week after she threw such a fit that someone ended up bleeding. Said he scratched the skin right off her neighbor's face. All over some snack cakes and an old radio show. We're doing our best to keep order, but the cracks are starting to show.
2079-05-04
The first real disaster hit today. Alphas' water purifier broke down for about nine days. As per Vault-Tec instructions, the Betas watched how the Alphas addressed the problem. The Betas are floor workers, mechanics, janitors, even a few researchers. They're used to this kind of work and tried to give advice through the barriers. But the Alphas weren't having it. Said we were there to spectate, not commentate. If they hadn't been so stubborn, they'd have had clean water within two days. Instead, it took them nine. They act all high and mighty, but they need us. If only that oaf of a leader they had could admit that. I once thought Elwood was a good guy, but now I think he can take a short ride on a long rocket.
2080-06-08
Now's when we can show them who knows what they're doing. We had a catastrophic failure of our air recyclers and purifiers all at once. The western wing got blasted with radiation so bad we had to lock it down. The Hendersons are in there. Probably were by now. We can't get to them, but the Alphas can still see them. But those bastards won't even tell me if my people are still alive. But unlike them, we know our way around these machines. Hell, some of us helped BUILD these machines. We'll be back to clean air in no time. Whereas if one of their Nuka-Cola machines is one degree off, it takes them a month and a vault-wide panic before they can get the damn thing fixed.
2080-09-08
The problem appears to be worse than we thought. Actually, it appears to be a fucking ghost. I've got some of the best mechanics and engineers in the country, hell, maybe some of the last in the world, here in my vault. And they can't figure a damn thing wrong with any of the equipment. It should all be running fine. They even did an analysis on the air coming directly out of the purifier and they say it's rad-free. But just ten feet away and it's at extremely dangerous levels. It's like someone hung a plutonium rod from the ceiling like a goddamn decoration and we're all too blind to see it. I've lost a lot of good people trying to figure it out and it's only gotten worse. We're down to the last few men available. Which means that tomorrow, I've got to throw myself into the shit. I stayed out of it this long thinking that my leadership would be worth more than whatever I could do with a wrench, but that's just not true anymore. Maybe it never was. Maybe Elwood was right.
2090-02-03
I finally got back. Looking at my last entry, it was nearly ten years ago I went to try and fix that leak. Turns out there was no fucking leak. We're working on the air systems and there's an explosion. We get blasted with a pile of nuclear waste buried under our purifier. Now, who do you think put that there? I should have died there. The rest of the crew did. Most of the vault has by now. One of the Hendersons is still alive somehow. Like me. Skin falling off, hair falling out, voice like I smoked coming out the womb. I've met a few others, too. You should see how the Alphas react to us now. They've always looked at us Betas with disgust. Now they look at us in terror. I'm going to be working to get Wendy out of the west wing first, then we'll make plans from there.
2093-25-11
There are eight of us left in total. The whole vault, despite all the damage and all the lockdowns, we finally cleared it all out. We started with over four hundred and we're down to eight. Truth be told, I think we're lucky to have that many. And there had been one more. John Kriger. I used to play cards with that man. Back when he was a man. When we were fixing some doors in the south wing, we found him. There was nothing left behind those eyes. He growled and shrieked like an animal and nearly killed Frank. We put him out of whatever misery he was in. I think we've all been wondering if we're any better off. I know I have.
2094-02-01
Not much to do anymore. We have enough food. Radiation doesn't seem to hurt us anymore, so the air isn't an issue. Our water spikes a Geiger counter, but Frank tells me it just adds to the flavor. Tastes like spicy static to me, what little sense of taste I have left. So I spent most of my days with Wendy watching the Alphas. They try to ignore us. Pretend we're not there. But they're not doing much better. They broke their intercoms, put posters over a bunch of the windows. But there's always a way to keep an eye on them. One thing I've been wondering has been where Elwood's been hiding. I haven't seen him lately.
2094-03-09
All hell's broken loose over at the Alpha's vault. Turned out that Elwood had died in the decade I spent clawing my way back up from the basement. Good riddance to him I say. But the ones since then have been worse. Playing favorites, letting maintenance slide. I'm still getting the automated reports from Alpha's terminal and things have been steadily going to shit. Looks like they finally snapped. Glass was too thick to hear anything, but I noticed when one of the rooms got brighter. I went to check it out, and the poster had been torn down, replaced by a large smear of blood. They were having their own little revolution. And there was nothing the eight of us could do but look on in horror as they slaughtered each other. Turns out that while we thought we got the shit end of the stick, we're still living in peace and harmony. They, on the other hand, couldn't make it twenty years without butchering each other. It's hard to make out what's going on with most of the windows still covered. But I would hazard to guess that their numbers are more similar to ours at this point.
2098-10-08
Today's my rebirth day. Wendy asked me what I wanted to do to celebrate, and I said I wanted to never see this godforsaken place again. It's too sad to pass by the windows and see what the Alphas squandered. The windows are still mostly covered, but we haven't seen anything out of them in a few years now. I figure they're probably all dead. Or maybe they wised up and left. Didn't even leave a note. So that's what I want to do. Get out of here and don't look back. Hell, it's not like we need to worry about the radiation. I can't imagine it could be worse out there than it is down here. Six of us are going and we'll be leaving the door open. Suzy wants to stay with Clark. Clark has started to... I don't know what to call. He's got the sort of undead dementia John had. It's not as bad yet. He's not charging us on sight. But he doesn't look like he has much time left. Suzy says she wants to stay with him to the end. Either end his misery for him or join him in it, I can't be certain. But the rest of us are leaving. About time. Twenty-one years I've been cooped up in this shithole. I'll breathe real air and see the actual sun again. I can't wait.
