    Tamura is still fucking hero in my book. Anyone who’s out there putting in the time and laying corporate shills and rich pedos to waste is doing God’s work

    About Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, the deceased executive’s boss:

    In fact, Reuters recently found that Schwarzman is Wall Street’s largest political contributor in the United States, shelling out more than $27 million to campaign committees, Donald Trump, and other politicians. The billionaire is clearly attempting to shape American politics and policymaking to his favor. Schwarzman has already contributed $4.4 million to Trump’s campaign or political committees connected to Trump, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

    Wait, I’m out of the loop. I thought it was a different office and the guy thought it was the NFL?

      The NFL angle seems less likely.

        I read something this morning that he left a note saying that it was the NFL. If the NFL thing isn’t true, that means someone planted a note either physically or in the media. JFC.

          Or the NY Post lied, but they would never!

          What a fortunate coincidence though, if true!

            They wouldn’t want to distract from people figuring out how Blackstone runs their property portfolio.

        We’re catching them in the lie. They didn’t think anyone would publicly put the pieces together regarding schwartzman and the girl he had murdered.

          What is your agenda in spreading these obvious lies? Why are you trying to confuse people? You ought to be ashamed of yourself, but I suppose that’s only reserved for those that have the capacity for shame.

      No, it was a targeted killing sanctioned by blackrock. She knew about Schwartzmans ties to Epstein and Trump. She was a woman, so she was deemed a liability, and the order was made. Either that, or the Blackstone headquarters that was attacked actually was incredibly fortified, but apparently One loan dude with an AR strolling up to the entrance is more than their billion dollar security can handle.

    Are we really stooping to conspiracy theory territory? I thought we were better than that.

      What if I told you the entire point of demonizing conspiracy theories is that you can then stage a conspiracy and anybody who tries to call you out can be easily claimed a wacko?

        All of the evidence, besides that the dude killed some random Blackstone subsidiary’s CEO, points to him having an axe to grind with the NFL. He went to the office building of the NFL. He has a connection to football. He literally wrote two letters about how he holds the NFL responsible for his self-diagnosed CTE and wants them to study his brain.

        Muddying the waters only serves to spread a false narrative that backfires when rational people look at these conspiracy theories. Just look at what these BS conspiracies have done to right-wingers.

        The next words out of your mouth will be some crazy fucking blood libel and you won’t even know because you’ve been so brainwashed. If I hazard, I guess you’re some kind of qanon type person

          No, most conspiracy theories are absolutely retarded and implausible. But grand of conspiracy does exist, didn’t kid yourself

        The point of many of them now is to vocalize takes on events that you know are lies or at least very unlikely in order to support your worldview. They’re a subset of information warfare, meant to muddle the waters if not outright intimidate.

        Example: people who say Luigi was framed but at the same time say CEOs need to be “Luigi’d.” The contradiction, or the truth of the matter, isn’t really important in their head, what they want to express is that killing CEOs is great and they want to support the people who do it. You’ll see the same trains of thought from Holocaust deniers and lost causer neo confederates.
