The Jandarmerie usually wear balaclavas when on mission. A month there was a fake bomb threat at a school near my work place, the Jandarmi condoned off the area (which makes sense until they can determine if the threat is real or not) and they were in full gear: vests, assault rifles, balaclavas, helmets.

EDIT: Wow, this Tate guy sounds like a nice chap. Maybe we get lucky and he falls out a window or something. I'm reminded of that priest in Shaik's camp and what Karsa did to him. That sounds fair.

'On social media, thousands of supporters have already reached their verdict. [...] many posts referenced #Pizzagate – a debunked theory that predated QAnon and claimed senior Democrats were behind a child sexual abuse ring – and suggested he was being used as a scapegoat by real paedophile rings.

[...] "They want to cover up Pizzagate with Andrew Tate," one Twitter user wrote, tagging Elon Musk.

Other accounts posted old videos suggesting Tate had been cleared, despite him remaining in detention. One clip viewed 780,000 times on Twitter by Saturday claimed to show him being freed from custody. "Andrew Tate got Released Matrix attack Failed,"'

Andrew Tate arrest: TikTok and Twitter under fire over false posts from fans

Wonder how many of those 'supporters' are bots or troll farms.

Far right yet again accusing others of doing what they're trying to do. 'Believe this fake video, not the Matrix!' But don't they expect people to think it's suspicious that Tate himself isn't claiming he's been released? Perhaps they're just trying to 'flood the zone with shit'---or get as many views as possible (even though they're not getting paid for it---unless they're professional trolls paid by the view).

'interview in which [...] Tate says he “was not arrested” but “swatted” in Romania dates back to August 2022. Following the detention of Tate [...] on Dec. 29, social media users shared an extract of the months-old exchange with Fox News host Tucker Carlson to falsely claim the brothers had been released.'

Tate's account has continued tweeting. (Would he be allowed internet access? Seems more likely it's an employee tweeting from his account. Could be dictation though.)

'It appears the insanity of the ruling elite is exposed worldwide now.

They have one command,

Do not speak out, behave as sheep.

God is on our side, so the Matrix will not win.

He claims to have converted to Islam. Presumably it's because he likes the restrictions on women in places like Saudi Arabia. Wonder if wealthy Islamic fundamentalists have been funding him....

Weinstein goes down for 16 years behind bars.

Technically It's not enough for his crimes, but it's essentially a life sentence....because no way that MFing piece of shit makes 86.

So it will have to do.

And one of the Marylin Manson accusers recants saying she was pressured to say he did it by Evan Rachel Wood...which is not a good look overall, strengthens Manson's rebuttal, and makes Wood's case (whether it's true or not) look a bit like frivolous lies....so not a great look.

I'd say that ERW has partially sunk her own case, and if her account is true, then it's extra stupid to have muddied the waters by trying to get someone to lie for her.

Like I'll be clear, I'm inclined to believe that what Wood said Manson did to her (and Esme Bianco), indeed happened....but coaxing someone to lie so you have more numbers on your side is dumb as fuck.

'"She insisted that I was repressing memories like she and other supposed victims of Mr. Warner had done.

[...] I started to believe that what I was repeatedly told happened to Ms. Wood and Ms. Bianco also happened to me."'

One Marilyn Manson accuser recants assault allegations

... if abuse allegations arose out of 'repressed memories' recovered during therapy or interaction with survivors, that could be very damaging, since 'repressed memories' have been extremely unreliable in the past and subject to suggestion and confabulation (see the Satanic panic, etc.). But if there's evidence from the time of the abuse, that should rule out that argument....

I'm going to put the further discussion of the Jonathan Majors incident here as I don't wan tot muddy up the MCU thread....but Majors released text messages from his girlfriend from after his arrest....and I think he and his lawyer think this exonerates him....but honestly, it leaves me thinking even more that she's the victim. There's SO many telling parts of this exchange that are very much what a Victim who goes back to her abuser says:

Here's the texts (all are her to him):

Text 1: “Please let me know you’re okay when you get this. They assured me that you won’t be charged. They said they had to arrest you as protocol when they saw the injuries on me and they knew we had a fight. I’m so angry that they did. And I’m sorry you’re in this position. Will make sure nothing happens about this. I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone. I only just got out of hospital. Just call me when you’re out.”

Text 2: “I love you”

Text 3: “They just called again to check on me and I reiterated how this was not an attack and they do not have my blessing on any charges being placed. I read the paper they gave me about strangulation and I said point blank this did not occur and should be removed immediately. The judge is definitely going to be told this. She ensured this to me. I know you have the best team and there’s nothing to worry about I just want you to know that I’m doing all I can my end. I also said to tell the judge to know that the origin of the call was to do with me collapsing and passing out and your worry as my partner due to our communication prior. Out of care. She promised all will be relayed.”

The thing that stands out to me most in all this? The bolded bit where she basically said "I should not have grabbed your phone, this is my fault"....

As a guy, wanna know what should happen if a woman (relationship with me or not) grabs your phone from you? Nothing. Certainly not violence of any kind. My gods.

Her saying that bit really couches the rest of the texts into a different light with her repeatedly seeking to make sure he knows she's going to take whatever blame needs to be taken, and repeat how she loves him...and she goes on an on. She's trying to hang onto the guy she loves even if he's abusive (my mom did this with her abusive relationship when I was younger....jeezus she told me out loud once how she didn't want to report him for assaulting her because she worried what he'd be treated like in jail...he had sliced her forearm with a kitchen knife...he was never charged because she never reported it.), and an internal part of her is trying to mentally calm him down ahead of time so this whole thing doesn't splash out at her in any future retaliation.

Maybe people will believe this, but I don't think her texts saying "I ended up in the hospital from a fight with my boyfriend becuase I took his phone and I should not have" is the Defence Majors and his lawyer thinks it is....holy hell....she's in a cycle of abuse and doesn't know it....or maybe she does.

EDIT to add: His lawyer (who is apparently from the same Wish order as the lawyers form the Paltrow trial) claims that video footage that "exonerates" him exists...bro...if that footage actually DID exist, then why release texts that everyone agrees makes him look even guiltier? I don't think the video footage exists and if it does, it probably makes him look bad, otherwise what benefit is there from piecemeal releasing so-called "exonerating" texts? It makes zero sense. This guys goose is well and truly cooked. And lastly, the rumours of this guy being a sociopath prior to this must be true if he thought that these texts make him look good...fuck me.

So ALL the promo material for ANT-MAN 3 digital release has removed any whisper of Majors' Kang....and it looks like Michale B Jordan did the same thing for the runup to the digital release of CREED III....so yeah, people are distancing themselves.

I'd say that Disney firing him is a forgone conclusion. The accusation and arrest alone were likely enough to sink him...but the texts (which I have to assume he demanded released, as a typical narcissistic abuser would absolutely think they exonerated him even though to most of us they just prove he definitely abused her) are the nail in his film career, or at least his MCU career.

The good news is that if Disney want to replace him as Kang with a new actor who actually resembles him enough to be a "variant" King without much fuss.....John Boyega is right there.

[QuickTidal]

And he continues to be even more toast in the industry than he already was. I'm not at all surprised more people have come forward, also one of them is reportedly a damned Disney employee who worked on ANT-MAN 3....

Trump found liable for sexual battery against E. Jean Caroll in civil case. It's only 5million (which he can just fleece out of his followers), but I'm glad they found him guilty.

And yet

The man is found guilty of sexual battery, and millions of people would vote him tomorrow

Sorry to be so blunt, but MAGA was a pro-rape movement from its inception. It’s part and parcel to his appeal, and (cis) men’s entitlement to women’s bodies is one cornerstone of the “again” part in the slogan.

[Cause]

Since it’s civil trial and not criminal

Can you now call trump a rapist without it being defamation? MAGA won’t care but still something that should be said often and everywhere

Yep. Glad they got him. Honestly, Scientology has a lawyer stable many people deep but I expect they are all busy trying to keep dear leader from being thrown into jail for breaking the law and then hiding from the law....to bother with much effort defending a small potatoes like has-been actor Masterson.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

She is either:

1. Dead.

Or

2. Being held against her will in some compound somewhere.

Because If she was as "fine and dandy" as the police wellness check say she is (the PD in that county has been known to be in cahoots with the Scientologists) then the EASIEST thing to do to kill this rumour and "Where is Shelly Miscavige?" is to have her appear in a public video saying "I'm fine, I want to be here and all is well"....this would have the pronged affect for Scientology as a whole of also going a long way yo discrediting people like Leah Remini and Mike Rinder both of whom are a thorn in the Cults side whose whole crusade against their former cult is based around the whereabouts of Shelly.

So the ONLY logical reasons you would not WANT to do that from Scientology's angle....would be becuase she's dead or being held against her will in some Sea Org hole somewhere.

Like it could NOT be easier to debunk the biggest thorn in their side....but they won't, and I the they know why.

I personally think she's dead (whether by her own hand, by someone else, or misadventure) and that's a BIG part of the reason that Miscavige has gone to ground in recent years. He was always kind of elusive, but he's never been "unfindable".
