    Crazy Clancy Case Revelation on Reasonable Doubt!

    Some crazy Lindsay Clancy case news as it turns out one single juror is holding out against 11. The defense moved to dismiss that juror, which means likely that he or she was the sole vote for conviction. That implicates, I believe, Massachussetts unique insanity defense law, and that in turn implicates pretty much the entire destruction of Western Civilization. The thumb in the dam. The key comparison is between post partum/pharma meds and drunkenness, which cannot be used in insanity defense. I explain it all in this short solo episode! Also a few more thoughts on Flock. A couple written posts on this here: This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit thecarousel.substack.com/subscribe

    Hey Federal Government, Maybe Look Into These Insane Stories

    So, repeat guest and total genius Brian Chau (Brian Chau) joins me to discuss his new independent news service, Effort News. Now, if you know me, you will know that I am inherently skeptical of all such new openly RW media organizations, but Chau has completely blown my mind with his work on this one. He’s using AI to weaponize damning data about rampant globalist manipulations and offering real remedies on the page. Here are two examples: In one story, he shows how just before Trump took office the federal government exponentially increased payments to an organized array of supposedly religious immigration/asylum organizations like HIAS, Church World Service, Episcopal Migration Services. Each one is tied to a specific Christian or Jewish denomination, yet they’re all being injected with huge sums of federal funds since 2016 in the same grouped pattern. In one particularly damning example, in 2024 The Ethiopian Community Development Council received $92 million from the federal government. In a second and equally sinister story, Brian reveals that a creepy British NGO called 5Rights is spending millions of dollars to openly get Britain-style internet censorship and identity verification laws passed in the US. And it has been successful in doing so in many states include California where these laws are still on the books. How such foreign influence is allowed by the feds is mind boggling. Even worse is that it’s all run by a terrifying NGO harridan Baroness Beeban Tania Kidron. You can’t make this stuff up. This is a public episode.

    On Spencer Pratt and Christopher Rufo v. Curtis Yarvin

    On the timeline this week, I was DESTROYED Spencer Pratt and EVISCERATED by Christopher Rufo. This implicates by response (above) to Spencer Pratt’s recent 9 minute video describing what happened in his election loss (below): Several people have asked me to address this question, and what I meant by my comments, so I expand in the video above. My position is basically that Spencer is being turned into the character from the Daniel Kaluuya character in the all-time great Black Mirror episode Fifteen Million Merits. He’s a slave who competes in a American Idol type competition, but it so fed up with him oppression that he threatens to slit his throat on stage. His protest is turned into its own media property, in which the regime capitalizes on his simulated and controlled voicing of grievances. This is a public episode.

    Dallas Sonnier and Basedsploitation Films

    Hello all. * I wrote a piece for Compact magazine about Citizen Vigilante and the rise of the Right Wing exploitation film. Includes list of these films, many of which produced by Dallas Sonnier. A non-exhaustive list of basedsploitation films would include Bone Tomahawk (2015), Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017), Dragged Across Concrete (2018), Run. Hide. Fight. (2020), Sound of Freedom (2023), Nefarious (2023), and Muzzle (2023). Run. Hide. Fight. Infidels, a sequel to Run. Hide. Fight. coming this fall, will almost certainly make the list. * We had Dallas Sonnier himself on the MAMA podcast (see above) for an interview about his new film Run.Hide.Fight: Infidels. Powerful trailer: Many talk about RW art not being funded, but Dallas Sonnier is proof that it does, if it’s good enough.
