Is it time DI tackles the whole P. Diddy thing?

[Maxmars]

Yes it's from RT... but there are lessons in there for all of us to see...

The reporter was silent during the whole diatribe, no questions, no reaction... Part of me wants to say this was actually a speech, not an interview.

If I am right about it being a speech, then it is likely that it was written.  Which implies something entirely different from extemporaneous commentary.

Each key phrase was carefully engineered to evoke organized crime, "mafia" was the word she used, comments focusing on pedophilia repeated several times, and the attribution of violence to the sexual escapades (but never assault.)

This piece wasn't about the story... it was about shaming the US exclusively.  It is a text-book example of what "journalists" of other countries seem frequently to do, especially those dedicated to diminishing the US's reputation.  I would quote Greta and declare "How dare you?" if it weren't for the evidence that our "journalists" do it all the time when discussing "antagonist" countries around the world.

This is a product... curated by RT to deliver what their 'sponsor' demands...  but it is a valuable tool for explaining why people in other countries "know" of the US... they aren't told of us with unbiased words.  (Nor we of them, I expect.)

If this piece represents what "Russians" know of the P-Diddy matter, then they seem to be relying on social media for their content... because what she describes is nothing new with the sole exception of the guest's opinion that the US should take care of its own before judging Russia... overall, fairly tame.

Nothing new there... just more media shenanigans .. this time in Russian.

How far reaching is this P-Diddy thing really going to go? Epstein seems larger and more well known and we're still running with the story that he killed himself while under suicide watch because the camera's malfunctioned.

Who's involved? Ashton Kutchner? Madonna..

I've heard both of those names mentioned in the endless parade of short videos and commentaries on this subject (along with many others.)

While this may see some agitation in the US media industry... I doubt that the international community is safe from its' fallout.  These people are nothing if not a "global" community.

My last check up on the topic featured lots of "P-Diddy's gonna dish the dirt on ALL of these people."

We'll see.

okay well if ya wanna play iceberg games then we can do that right, note first that both epstein and diddy represent peripheral rings you can guess based on their involvments but there is overlap with two other rings i'll let you guess, and as to "how far" the answer presented will be "not very", at least as far as how these things are contained however you might see some f the workings, i imagine. i mean with epstein isnt it fairly obvious that wasnt him?  everyone knows no one says.  it is rather funny that "the ears" gave it away, as that is one of their code words -- watch, ears open, let he who has ears, etc.  where it could possibly go, you are "free" to speculate.  this is the land of "the free" after all.  for now.

Just a short update on the allegations...

[Tecate]

It will be interesting to see how many of these co-conspirators have run to places where they can’t be found or extradited.

It’s going to take a lot of evidence to take down this bunch of sick individuals and I’m not sure if there’s enough “good guys “ without taint to make it happen.

I hope for the best and often resign myself to the status quo.

My 2 pesos…

Its has the same trajectory...

Tupac's assassination is very much related. 

A couple of reddit subs about P-certainly-did have disappeared quickly ater being created.


EDIT: this from the "gossip" mill, its too funy not to share:

"SH0CKING NEWS: Beyoncé alleges that Diddy has been secretly hiding Michael Jackson, who faked his death. With video evidence to back her statement, Beyoncé promises to reveal proof that the King of Pop is still alive and living in Diddy's mansion."

Seems I've missed some 'developments' cited in media...
which celebrity lawyer is doing what, which one abruptly quit the team...

And now a legal motion to introduce evidence that supports the defendant was "mentally deficient" and thus possible not responsible... yada yada...
(The "I was drunk" defense.)

Setting up future pleas of "cruel and unusual" to the relative slap on the wrist he's going to get anyway, sentencing being what it is.

Diddy's claims of 'diminished' mental capacity take center stage days before sex trafficking trial
 Prosecutors in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking case are asking for expert testimony regarding the rapper's possible diminished mental capacity to be kept from the jury.
 
"The noticed testimony relates to the defendant’s diminished capacity to form the mens rea required to commit the charged offenses – in other words, a ‘mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt,’" the government wrote in court documents filed Sunday and obtained by Fox News Digital.
 
The prosecution laid out two main reasons for opposing the expert testimony, days before the trial is set to begin. According to the government, Diddy's legal team did not provide notice of Dr. Elie Aoun's testimony before Feb. 17, 2025, the deadline for pretrial motions.
 
Diddy's legal team had to file notice by the deadline in order to introduce "evidence of the effects of drugs and alcohol on [his] memory or cognitive function," according to prosecutors.

Expect more news in two weeks or so, when opening statements drop. The Vulture seems to have fairly autistic coverage:

On April 28, prospective jurors will arrive at court for questionnaires. Potential panelists might also fill out questionnaires on April 29 and, if need be, April 30. Both prosecutors and defense lawyers will look at the questionnaires and then send four lists to the judge by May 1. The lists will include a batch of people who both sides agree should move to the next stage of jury selection. Both sides will also submit a list of people they both agree should be excluded. There will be two more lists: one with the names of people who defense lawyers think shouldn’t make the cut and another list with the names of people who prosecutors believe should be booted. The more thorough questioning of prospective jurors will start on May 5.

Opening statements are scheduled for May 12.

Unlike the recent Rust manslaughter trial, these court proceedings will not air on television or radio because they are federal court proceedings.

Here's their list of all 63 (!) cases: https://archive.ph/V7htg (no paywall)

"Eyes Wide Shut" seems so innocent now in comparison. I found that movie to be really good for a thriller type mystery, but when you think of how they show an upper crust society type event where everyone is wearing a mask, that's a pretty tame story.

I can only imagine the extreme events at a P. Diddy party, and no one is hiding their identities, that would be a movie of a whole different (IMO lower) class that would make a triple X rating a joke. It would probably be a production more a long the lines of a "Blair Witch Project" style snuff film.
