For those (esp musicians/producers) who have difficulty joining the dots. Royalties you have earned & are being denied are instead going to the Rogans of this world. So ups to all for helping to create the fuckery we are about to go through (again) & funding war tech etc. stay away from Scumify plse

The NZ Free speech union has Dr Pinker talking them tonight. He is on video on a plane with Epstein and a young girls voice is heard asking where she is being taken. Amoral at the least to be paying him to speak.

NZ media are just lapping this up as if it were run-of-the-mill celebrity gossip & Boyd is their kiwi on the inside.
Rather than calling out the lack of ethics or basic due diligence by an academic of supposed high standing and instead of exposing the really really bad stuff in the Epstein files…

An important *impending* example, that might be *more* important to cover, is that Steven Pinker was an associate of Epstein which has been reported on since at least 2019, AND in the latest tranche
Pinker is speaking in Takapuna TOMORROW having been brought here by the Free Speech Union
