  You've been caught on multiple occasions pretending deeper knowledge and understanding than you actually possess. No, that's not what happened at all. On multiple occasions you missed a lot of the jokes. The message wasn't actually at you at all. It's M-3/4 level. Put it this way: not very nice what you/they just attempted to pull off. (Where you/they is not you on a personal level). Hikikomori Think back to posts about those lone wolf 4GW/5GW stuff and so on. Someone (hello, Space Whales - Culture Orcas are the mirror, see?) was pushing at something a little bit nastier than...

  However, I have NO idea why she thinks you will get a visit from a man in a black suit, unless it is a reference to human mortality and an undertaker. Yes, well, you hit on the third level of joke / irony there. Quite impressive, and we do love your tortoise shell and your Mind has been a great delight to us.[1] So, a film you've probably not seen, but a taster for your edification: Joe is an IRS agent scene YT, Film: Meet Joe Black, 5:08 A slight little film, almost tawdry in its schmaltz, but saved by...

  Yes, I am now, partly through self-conditioning, immune to almost all conventional advertising. And when I do notice, it usually annoys me. ( "Right, I'm NOT BUYING your fucking product!" ) The Seagull has long since reached that latter point, which is worse, because "she" doesn't seem to have any "product", other than simply annoying people & being a complete arsehole. Now, you will note, she's off again, ranting away in almost-total obfuscation in #558-60 .. except, of course, claiming again that "it's a joke" in one, & what a surprise, I don't believe you - I call LIAR -...

  Now, you will note, she's off again, ranting away in almost-total obfuscation in #558-60 .. If you're over 40, perhaps. Or just being a GOON. Anyone under 40 from a Western Country will immediately spot many of the jokes. #558 M.I.B is a long con type UFO conspiracy that was probably used to silence/threaten people for real (back in the 50's) that then morphed into its own Conspiracy Theory (no doubt helped along by such organizations as the Scientologists etc who loved that side of things, as well as the CIA etc - c.f Operation Snow White) "Oh Lucky Man!"...

  It's harder to blackmail someone who feels no shame, like Trump. I suspect that if Russia did attempt to blackmail Trump he'd tell them to go ahead and publish, confident he could convince his supporters that Russia was just making stuff up to smear him, and that all the evidence against him had been faked by Russia. Trump wouldn't really get away with it that easily, but he's arrogant enough to believe he would. Also, there's a risk he might try to retaliate by interfering in Russian domestic politics or maybe even intervening in Ukraine....
