I didn't start any of these threads.

Four word responses like their rig is in the trailer park or something. I thought this was a poker forum where thinkers reside.

I guess I came to the wrong place again. Its ok to call out poker fraud or any individual scammer but let it be centered around worldwide mayhem and murder and slavery and that's just fine , let people start threads with their uninformed opinions.

I already know that " The Goyim Know" is what the dms say and thats fine. enough people seen the truth in here my work is done

So... cool, you're finally leaving then?

The fact that you think anyone is really reading more than 1.5% of your useless schizophrenic posts here is beyond laughable.

I remember that you complained when you started posting here that 2+2 instantly banned you for making posts.

Well, no fucking wonder! Amongst a massive heap of terrible decisions they've made over the years, that was one decision they apparently made correctly.

Im sure there is a conspiracy forum somewhere that you'll fit right in with. Maybe you can even post a new conspiracy there how everyone is trying to "silence" you.

Good riddance.

Edit: oh, pro tip- maybe you can recruit Entropy to go with you. You'd get extra brownie points with them, we would be happy as well. Win win!

The most important aspect for any forum (not just this one) is readability and the ability for threads to stay on topic. Otherwise, everything turns to complete shit.

I don't ever censor ideology here. Even if you don't agree with a political or conspiratorial theory, I always let it stand. However, I can't have this stuff cluttering/ruining existing threads. In this case, I started the thread to discuss the interesting situation regarding Disney's special privileges to act as their own city in Florida, and the potential removal being threatened by Desantis. I don't want it to turn into a conspiracy-fest about Epstein and Maxwell.

---

how can you discuss disney in relation to the dont say gay bill and special privileges and not include the history of disney in the thread? none of you guys know what the fuck is going on around here and when the one guy who shows up with undeniable , documented proof, it turns into a conspiracy.

if i had any type of proof in relation to poker fraud the goddamn radio would be on right now

I left up one or two of your posts on the matter. That's enough. We can't turn every thread into offshoot conspiracy discussions. Even if what you're saying is true, it doesn't warrant taking over this thread with that info. I started this to discuss the highly unusual situation of Disney's ability to act as an incorporated city in Florida, and Desantis' threat to remove it. That's the main discussion I want in this thread.

Furthermore, nobody else besides you seems interested in this Disney/Epstein stuff, so people here are just seeing it as clutter.

you keep saying conspiracy , let me give you the definition since we are being scholarly here-

a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.

is this disney stuff secret? Are Epstein and all his connections real? Is it a secret?


you keep using that word as a crutch and deflection tool to protect yourself from having to have an opinion here. it's intellectually dishonest and the high amount of respect I had for all these years is gone. I absolutely hate this country and every single one of you obtuse, weak and scared fuckers SMFD

You said a couple of your nonsense posts back that i was "seething". Not at all.

Yet you're seething so much at people rejecting you and not giving you attention, that you couldn't even quote your latest post correctly when replying. I can tell that you're absolutely fuming behind the keyboard that nobody here is giving you the attention you think you somehow deserve. Sad and hilarious - way more sad than hilarious though.

Sorry, but that is the way the forum is run. In fact, you won't find many forums which allow as much as I do. You may feel that all of this stuff is very important and needs to be known, but everyone else here sees it as clutter, and you are hijacking threads about other topics people want to discuss.

That is the end of this discussion.

If you want, go ahead and start a circuitp conspiracy theory thread, and post all you want there to your heart's content. Nobody is allowed to ruin threads on this site because they feel they need to disseminate "important" information.

I don't give a fuck about attention. I haven't asked any of you to be my friend. I'm spamming the truth as hard as I can in hopes someone up here is smart enough to see it.

I'm spamming evidence of child sex trafficking and you are spazzing on me , saying my posts are schizophrenic. I wasn't being combative and I wasn't hurting anyone.

The only issue here is your problem with the exposing of pedophiles. You must be one that you have to freak out on someone trying to inform an obviously ignorant forum misrepresenting itself as a poker forum.

you spewed an essay of put downs and all I have done is post so much evidence only the willfully ignorant or a pedo lover would rage over.

Dupe : deceive; trick.
"the newspaper was duped into publishing an untrue story"



the only dupes around here are you guys pretending to know what you are talking about. That's it and that's all .

If this was Mike Postles cheating island , there would be radio shows for every single day , for every single rider on the " Straigh Flush Express"

Mike Postle was convicted by his peers for being a scumbag cheat and never admitted or was arrested for it. But there was enough circumstantial evidence for everyone hearing of the issue to believe he is a scumbag cheater


apply the same standard to people fucking kids as their job and it turns into conspiracy even though the people involved are in jail for these crimes or have supposedly hung themselves for it. There is a MOUNTAIN of evidence laying all over the internet. YEARS OF IT.

yet it's a conspiracy but Mike Postle is not.


if you want to side with the big ass ugly ape in the room, go ahead and see how many threads you can start where this WHOLE ORDEAL does not affect it in some way. One of these people will have a connection to a thread you start or post in and you will step over all these facts and play pretend that they do not have any affiliation to the nexus of this ordeal.

You cannot get away from confronting this issue without as much vigor as you would poker fraud- To ignore this and all the details would be agreeing with it and pedophilia.

This is as real as Mike Postle.

I thought Druff told you to shut the fuck up, you stupid fucking retard.

I'm under the impression Disney lost their special privileges, which were they get to act as a country within a country which allowed them to avoid paying taxes.
An absolutely astonishing piece.

Why does Disney and elements of the left insist on teaching kindergartners about changing their sex?

The DeSantis Disney deal is all theater.

Weird times

Public education should be basic and without any frills. Reading, writing, math and civics. No philosophy, religion or sex education. That’s bonus stuff.

Union, civil servants aren’t qualified for anything but the basics. The sorry results prove this to be true.

Public education is like the WIC public assistance program. You can’t afford private education? The WIC food program entitles you to American cheese and bologna. The basic necessities.

DeSantis is correct to refocus public education. The DeSantis Disney nonsense was needless and unfortunate theater and will never come to pass. All bombast but the angry kids in the wife beater t shirts in the cheap seats eat that stuff up.

I'm sorry but these two motherfuckers will never become President.

Trump hates DeSantis and won't allow him to be anything more than the shitstain on his shoe.

You're correct that the Disney thing is theater, and that the important work being done by Desantis involves refocusing education.

However, the Disney thing is important for a different reason -- to set an example that large corporations can't take political sides without political fallout. This is important for the GOP to establish. For the past 5 years, they've taken it on the chin, as large corporations have bowed to their woke overlords, terrified of the social media outrage if they don't walk the line.

These corporations were doing what they perceived was wise. They felt that the downside to pissing off conservatives was limited, whereas the downside to pissing off leftists was huge -- since they'd find themselves attacked by both social media and the mainstream media.

Furthermore, these woke positions are framed as simply fighting for the victim classes, so these corporations learned they can simply posture that they care about the plight of the marginalized.

If these corporations learn that overtly siding with the left also means the end of any favors from politicians on the right, this might finally get them to go back to what they were doing before 2010 -- staying out of politics, and just concentrating on their product/service.

San Diego Disney lets do this shit. Screw swampy shitty Florida. Btw going to Florida for the first time in like 15 years next month. FML. Would rather be going to West Virginia.

Hey Druff member the good old days when Republicans were pro-business and pro-freedom. Now it's a Christian Nationalist Socialist cult. Figured by now you woulda figured that out....

Why would Disney push this stuff? I going to coin a phrase, is this Corporate Marxism?
This past week has been bizarre, this is the second time this week a major corporation has put their New World Order agenda ahead of corporate profit.
I'm talking about Musk/Twitter, and it was shocking to see the supposed world's richest man get smacked down by corporate power.
We'll see if this Disney stuff holds up, they usually find a loophole.

BUMP

Well well well....

Remember when I said that I remarked to my late '90s girlfriend that Anaheim was Disney's bitch?

Looks like I was right. The FBI is investigating a "cabal" which has been controlling Anaheim's city council on Disney's behalf:

https://www.piratesandprincesses.net...ols-goverment/

This Disney thing is getting weird, Disney has clearly put their social engineering/political agenda ahead of profit.
"Lightyear' banned in 14 markets after same-sex kiss controversy"
In other words 14 Muslim countries have banned Disney's flagship cartoon over a same sex kiss.

Which begs the question, serious question?
Why the fuck does Disney and the establishment absolutely insist on jamming this LGTBQ sex crap onto young children?
I mean insist, this is a hill they're ready to die on.

If it's a good thing to teach this to kids then prove it, how come this step is being skipped.
Hungary and Poland have lost billion in funding because they banned the teaching of gay stuff to minors.


Is there a nefarious hidden agenda?

The problem is that this shit is all gratuitous. "Lightyear" isn't a gay story. It's a kid's story where they just threw in token gay characters and had them kiss. That's where the indoctrination part comes in. It's Disney saying, "Yeah, we're gonna expose your kids to this now, regardless of what you have to say about it. Good luck keeping your kids away from this mainstream movie!"

I am not sure what you mean by token character. I only saw the trailer, but it is pretty obvious the black lesbian chick is a very main character. I really dont know off the top of my head, but I am guessing like most male dominated fields, good chance a high % of female pilots/astronauts are lesbians. I mean, I get Disney made this character intentionally to virtue signal their progressive bona fides, and I doubt the kiss scene has any bearing on the main plot and was just thrown in for the same reason. But as far as accurately representing pilots/astronauts demographically, making the character a lesbian probably isn't going off the deep end.

From a broader perspective it is pretty interesting how the left wing establishment continues to give the Muslim world a free pass for their "bigoted" views, ostensibly because of their placement as a victimized class atop the victimization hierarchy pyramid.

We give countries like Hungary and Poland (and states like Florida) a hard time when they support more conservative views related to homosexuality, but give the Muslim world a mostly free pass for much more serious anti-homosexual transgressions and viewpoints.

No. The whole episode was a political stunt that cashed out big for him, and could vault him to the Presidency. DeSantis, and the state govt of Florida, never had any capability (or I am guessing intention) to revoke Disney's privileges in the area and take over themselves. This was just a stunt to elevate his personal brand, and couldn't have worked better.

This DeSantis interview was just 3 days ago and he doesn't look like he's backing down from anything. Starting at the 2:30 mark he basically tells Iger off in the interview:

Why do you say the state government couldn't revoke the privileges? I believe they could in the legislature.

I should clarify that the state of Florida couldn't "take over" Disney's land, as that is privately owned.

However, I believe they could strip their autonomous status, to where they would be under county jurisdiction, which would require them to adhere to all county laws, be served by county law enforcement, and pay county taxes.

I didn't mean they legally couldn't do it in theory. I meant it would cost the state so much money it isn't really was never an economically rationale option, and DeSantis has to have known this all along. My understanding is it would hurt the state of Florida financially as much as, if not more than Disney. And that really isn't DeSantis's style.

So DeSantis would have absolutely no problem taking the W for his personal brand, and then quietly make peace with Disney and not following through. But painting this as an "L" for him as Mumbles was doing is a very uninformed, partisan take IMO.

I agree it would probably be a big hassle to do, and of course Disney would put their best lawyers on the case to challenge it, and it could drag out forever.

I can't see how it would hurt Florida financially. It's not like Disney is just going to abandon their theme parks and leave.

I agree it was probably more a stunt/threat than anything else. Desantis was legitimately mad at them, though, and for good reason. I usually am not in favor of government officials taking punitive action against organizations/people which oppose them politically, but in this case I actually did support it, even if it's just an empty threat.

Disney has a very special, beneficial arrangement with the Florida state government, and they've had it for 55 years. They should appreciate that arrangement and not take (unfair) potshots at administrations they don't like. Basically they should see it that the state government has stayed out of their way for 55 years, and in return, they should stay out of the state government's way.

What Disney did was akin to you letting a friend stay rent-free in a second home you own, and many years into it, he shows up on social media and falsely accuses you of being a homophobic asshole. Your first inclination would be to start charging him rent, and you'd be right to do it.

I don't think the issue is "Disney" per se. I think the main problem is that left wing liberal colleges have turned the highly educated white collar working class into staunch left wing activists, who in turn are putting tremendous pressure on the companies they work for. It seems this is what happened here, where Chupak originally didn't want to get involved at all, but activist employees and the MSM put pressure on him and he crumbled.

And this isn't just a Disney thing. The has been happening throughout industries that rely on highly educated professionals. And corporate management mostly takes the path of least resistance and does everything to appease their employee activists. Although now that the economy has slowed and things are getting tight, we are seeing companies stand up to their employees when they see pushing left wing activism as potentially hurting their bottom line.

But we should be cognizant of where the pressure is largely coming from, employee activists. And why, because they they have been indoctrinated in elite left wing colleges.

I lived in Orlando and area 10+ years feel I understand it well now Orlando gets special privilege from the State of Florida (its for a reason Tourism $$)

had a good UFC (Fight Night) Event was there yesterday, and Orlando is good for that. Events and hotels, food people can pass through Orlando have fun and be gone, its all there by design. Now Personally im happy I was able to move out of the Central Part of the State its hot, and HOTTER and Lakes, Lligators all that. Not so much Ocean and beachs which many relate Florida too here, and Retirement want so Orlando, wont be for everyone. And me dont have kids, so not one to need Theme Parks but they are nice, well kept, foods good etc etc so I have gone

Walt Disney World generates tons of this States Revenues

even people wanting to come here at all, families with Children. And Disney does a top notch job of that all they do offer but expensively done, a first Class product generally everywhere with what they do. The State of Florida knows how vital Disney is to this States Economy. The area you are probably all unaware about is Reddy Creek That area is everything in Orlando (Zoning and Tax benefit wise bc its Disney..). The Reedy Creek special District (so zoning..) is literally because it is on the actual Walt Disney World Property and so the State of Florida knows specifically, Reedy Creek and that privilege is, Disney. Whatever this State gives that District, Reedy Creek because it is Disney World its 1005 known and by our State Governors to be benefitting Walt Disney World, and then bring tourism dollars so win/win for this State, but now. People are becoming more aware of this all, and while this is LOL poker forum no one here probably would understand Reedy Creek and how its very known, and specific literally too all that is Disney in Orlando. So too then all our Governors known, Reedy Creek is giving Disney Privilege or that specific little area there, its interesting here, in Florida and matters big time. Since Disney does generate tons of Revenue for this State and via Walt Disney historically.

That may be changing now myself im a big proponent of opening up Gaming here in this State, I HATE Monopolies in Gaming sorry and by design Florida here is an actual Monopoly in Gaming. Now keep in mind im born and Raised New Jersey which they like Competition in New Jersey unlike Florida here, in Gambling. That i do think New Jersey has right and Florida has all wrong in Gaming, Monopoly vs. free Market and imo Monopolies in Gaming are awful, never benefit the Consumer, or us, me..

(dont use that word often ever but I HATE Monopolies in gaming...)
