She was right about Britney; and they said she was crazy, now she's right about this case too, only Britney didn't have a million bots after her. Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp Movie | Crime, Rose McGowan, Violence, Bots, Brittany Murphy, Britney Spears, & Elections https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79GX1RNB4B8 Great video introduction that explains how these Ops work. When Christina first asked me to help with Amber, I wasn’t too familiar with the actresses work yet, and became extremely hesitant once I saw her social media posts. Christina has a very accurate track record of spotting victims of abuse. I mean she was right about Britney. So, I took her word for it, but also did my own research. As a non-practicing Christian; I still cling to traditional Abrahamic gender roles in relationships, I think partially because they’re embedded in me, both culturally and through personal life experience. Working on this case however, has enlightened me on many of my own relationship ins

New IRS $600 Rule hurts the poor and could bottom out the USD.

Irony is Joe still owes us all $600.00 Once again, I’m at a crossroads with my career never getting lifted off the ground. Reminds me of the 2008  Driver Responsibility Scam  all over again, only this time with with IRS agents being the useful idiots instead of local law enforcement. https://twitter.com/TheBerthaR/status/1596797220048629760?s=20&t=7ESV4f9HlbC5arBQrc0qRQ https://twitter.com/katcorona/status/1596918034048118784?s=20&t=t0suWd8cjldx-0hAophM_g We all know how well that ended for police, they got bigger budgets, but a tarnished name no one will ever have respect for again. -  Proverbs 22:1 https://twitter.com/Millie__Weaver/status/1266901254682357760?s=20&t=_rDEAkV_KafBYN8nsvmveQ During those years of blissful ignorance; law enforcement would ticket me any chance they got, and I wasn’t alone, they were targeting the States most vulnerable.

The Amber Heard Trial

Image
Despite what you hear from everyone else; all the "he said" "she said" misdirected narratives, which are really about ratings, (mainly from Depp's side, and a few other frenemies'.) I was actually on the inside at the Amber Heard trial. That's me in the corner. I'm not a professional journalist in the traditional sense, but I have worked behind the scenes in media/print for many years. I know how to get my way around places, people, even security systems. Every aspect of this trial resonates with me. As it should, it's pretty relatable to everybody. It's why the Beatles sold so many records.. Everybody can relate to having a broken heart. I also know what it's like to have your relationships messed with; every aspect of your life controlled, slandered with no one to defend you, sexualized in a career, groomed as a youth; and I know those jealous feelings of rage, where death feels like the only exit of a tainted relationship you can't
