buse that law right? It would change the argument quite a bit. So even the things that you think have nothing to do with data are data arguments and when the data is useless because we don't agree on it. But at least science is reliable. Thank God. Thank God we got science. Let's see in recent the number of retractions of scientific papers has risen sharply. Oh that's not good. For example in 202…

olved and that Diddy I think a lot of people not just the bodyguard but people have come to believe that Diddy is part of a massive blackmail operation much like Epstein. So let's say if you're keeping track the entities that are corrupt are the media the Department of Justice the Democrats we got the FBI the Secret Service the CIA the Department of Homeland Security the CDC corrupt every government regulatory body corrupt 400 economists corrupt and the music industry and entertainment is basically a raping situation. Raping and blackmail, child sex, raping and blackmail is your musical things now.

I would like to put an image in your mind that's going to make some of you laugh. Have you ever seen the movie Underworld with Kate Beckinsale playing a vampire? And there's this underworld between the vampires who were real and the werewolves the lycans. And you saw the head of the vampires is this very ancient old wrinkled white guy and he's kind of he kind of has a vibe about him. But as it turns out that the top vampire turned the other vampires by biting them and turning them into vampires and then those vampires bit other vampires and then they became vampires. Now think of the music industry and think of Clive Davis as the top vampire. Now I don't personally have any accusations against Clive Davis or anybody else because I don't know. I wasn't there and I don't trust stories in the news of this type. However if the rumors were true it would be that Clive Davis was the ancient head vampire who turned Diddy who turned Usher who turned Bieber and created this industry of hip-hop people who dressed in all black like vampires and they came out only at night like vampires. The correlation between that world that movie Underworld and the vampire world and what the current hip-hop music industry looks like it's really shockingly similar. You know if the rumors are true. And again I don't personally have any information that would say Clive Davis did anything illegal or immoral or unethical and you have to watch out because there's going to be accusations against people who were not involved in anything. But the indication are that there's some kind of a long-term flipping of people into blackmail situations and gay sex etc. Well I don't know if this is true but because Ben Shapiro reposted it he would do a better job of checking to make sure something is true than I would. So he showed a picture of Hezbollah leadership in like a graph and it showed that everybody below the top guys has already been killed by Israel. So I didn't count them but it looked like maybe I don't know 15 or 16 sub commanders under the top guy are all dead now.

Now here's my question. If that's true that 100% of the underlings are dead at the high the high level underlings there's probably more levels of underlings but if the top two levels of underlings below the number one guy are completely gone is it an accident that the top guy is still alive? And I'm going to say no. I think Israel is keeping the top guy alive intentionally. Here's why. Number one if you really really really hated this top guy and you really wanted to punish him and you really just hated him so it's more than war it's personal and I imagine it would be personal if you put me in that situation and I captured that top guy I would torture him before I killed him. I can't even pretend I wouldn't. Like if I lived in Israel and I had to worry about that guy that guy authorizing missiles that are coming at my house every freaking day yeah if I caught him myself I would torture him before I killed him like actually literally no joke. So how would I feel if I were in the Israeli IDF or the government? Same way. It would be personal. Not as personal for the individual terrorists because maybe they're just brainwashed or whatever but the top guy no that's personal. That's personal.

Now if you really really really wanted to torture the top guy what you would do is you would keep him alive so he could see that everything he built and everybody he loves gets killed right in front of him. And that's what they're doing. Now I don't know if they had any conscious thought along those lines probably not but you do notice that people tend to do the things that their subconscious really really really wants them to do even if they don't verbalize it. But the other possibility is you need to keep the top one to negotiate any kind of a settlement so you wouldn't have anybody to negotiate with if you get rid of him and you know you want to get somet

hing done quickly. So it could be they need to keep him around. It could be he's just harder to get but I don't feel like that's what's happening. I feel like they could get him when they want and it could be they're showing that they can get every single person but leaving the top one in place is basically a very very clear threat that says in two weeks you're going to be dead unless you stand do…
