When things look bleak, take hope

The Unapologetics ·

2025/08/11

As Donald Trump prepares to militarize and forcibly remove poverty and dissent from Washington DC, we need to take a step back and remember the parallels of history. 249 years ago King George III erased checks and balances, kept the laws he liked, wrote a few new ones, rained down tariffs, and otherwise terrorized his people. And we created a new country because of it. So if you would be so kind, I wrote a little article about the history of this very situation, albeit a few years ago, and why we

Flight Log Transcription Mistakes at the DOJ

The Unapologetics ·

2025/08/01

A few updates on my research into the Jeffrey Epstein flight lots, specifically to and from the Virgin Islands, and the emphasis and deep focus Epstein had on Virginia (Roberts) Giuffre. Why? What made her stand out? And why was she so prevalent in the logs? This will take some time to figure out, but I’ll go into her story tonight a little more in-depth while I continue to pour over the logs.Thank you to my subscribers, both paid and free, you are making this little writer’s heart sing!

Someone has come forward...

2025/07/21

Three important updates, including someone coming forward with information on-the-record. More to come on that soon.Also, as a follow up to the discussion, I went ahead and wrote an article linking Vicki Ward’s 2003 eye-opening article “The Talented Mr. Epstein,” and the NY Times’ Marc Tracy’s article on what she was and wasn’t allowed to publish as a result. I need everyone to be talking about this, because it’s long, detailed, and incredibly predictive. This is a public episode. If you'd like

You guys okay?

Today was rough. And hard. And scary. And harmful. I hope we all had a minute to stop and breathe and take care of ourselves until we can figure out next steps. I’m grateful to be in a place filled with fresh air and crummy cell service, and I was able to take my kids out and stick our feet in the river for a few hours. Whatever that looked like for you, I hope you’re there too. If not, check in, write it down, call a loved one, or find an online friend who is a great listener.Tomorrow is

Underground Nuclear Missiles in Rural Farm States

The Unapologetics ·

2025/06/23

In Montana, North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri there are active nuclear missiles under the ground that have been there since the Cold War. We have 150 missile silos in Montana, 100 of which are active. I searched high and low for something to tell me that the nuclear missiles were either not there anymore or that they had been dismantled and could no longer deploy. Turns out, that information doesn’t exist.Montana Public Radio Malmstrom Air Force BaseThe Panicked, Unpaid
