“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Post got removed in .world for not being a "news source" even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist, so trying again here I guess.

Hmm... I guess I need to use smaller words just for you:

Me not news mod.
Me can speak for Politics and World.
Me can no speak for News.
Me explain mod rules for Politics and World.
News has own rules.
News rules not my rules.
News does their thing, Politics and World do their thing.
Two things not same thing.
News can do things Politics and World don't.
Politics and world do things News doesn't.

If that's not good enough I can see if I can round up a below average 6 year old to explain it to you.

Oh fuck chat guess I’m cooked.

For real though, I’m sorry for whatever’s going (or not going) on in your life that’s led to you behaving like this online.

This entire thread started because I responded to this comment:

"You're really having this conversation here...

... while simultaneously being part of the mod team that bans this source and topic in all the .world instances you moderate?"

See that bit at the end? ALL THE INSTANCES I MODERATE.

Primarily, that means Politics and World. There are other tiny ones nobody but me and maybe 1 or 2, maybe as many as 5 care about.

You're the one insisting I address community I DO NOT MODERATE.

So while I can speak authoritatively about what I mod, I can't speak to News.

Me: Well, here's why we banned it in Politics and World...

You: HOW DARE YOU NOT TALK ABOUT NEWS!!!

Well, that's not the question I was asked. I was asked about the ones I moderate.

Here, come back after you have someone explain this to you:
