This is definitely a real lawsuit that actually happened, but if it wasn’t, wouldn’t that raise certain questions about Williams? And might those questions lead some interesting places?

Rowling’s new book and Jesse’s heaving knockers, Jesse tells Katie about a New York Times article which attempts to partially pin the blame for the travails experienced by the Women’s March — a super competent, super well-run organization that has never generated any controversies — on *RUSSIAN TROLLS*. Then the hosts take listeners’ advice for the very first time.

After Katie tells Jesse about her #VanLife travails, Jesse corrects some stuff from the last episode, and a bit more lucky Pierre/Eiffel Tower/etc. goes down, the hosts discuss a recent Atlantic article about youth sports and gender that is… well, it’s really quite bad. Then they discuss the de-PayPalling of Gays Against Groomers and the Free Speech Union, which seems like bad news whatever you think of these groupsNotes:Tickets still available for BARPod live in…Bostonhttps://wl.seetickets.us/event/Blocked-andReportedPodcast-800pm/506613?afflky=LaughBostonand Arlington, Va.

He has genuinely no idea why he thought this was the case and both mentions of this have been deleted from the live version of the episode. Jesse also misstated the amount of money Joshua Moon claimed David “Near” Ginder offered him to take down his Kiwi Farms page. It was $120,000, not $10,000. This too has been corrected in the live version. For transparency’s sake, the old, incorrect version of this episode’s audio file, labeled as such, can be heard here.)Links:“Jesse’s answer on Cloudflare was bad.”https://www.reddit.com/comments/xbapdc/_/io0fckk“Keffals on why she will not apologize for the false Destiny stealthing accusations”https://streamable.com/oy8johStatement from London’s Police Chief on what happenedhttps://www.londonpolice.ca/en/news/statement-from-police-chief-williams-august-2022.aspx Clara-fication on how guns were used during the raidhttps://www.vice.com/en/article/xgyagd/keffals-kiwi-farms🗄️ Keffals’ original GoFundMehttps://archive.ph/WA0XRUrbanDictionary defines “troon”https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=TroonInformation on Chloe Sagal, one of the suicide victimshttps://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/chloe-sagal-death-1202858068/Joshua Moon claims there isn’t real evidence David “Near” Ginder died, and that Ginder attempted to exploit him (might have to try a domain other than “.st” as Kiwi Farms jumps around trying to stay on the clearnet)https://kiwifarms.st/threads/my-response-regarding-byuu-near.93719/Moon links to this archive containing a great deal more information and controversyhttps://archive.ph/MfUhqMargaret Pless isn’t buying the conspiracy theory, pointing out that KF has incentive to muddy the waters here Her article on Kiwi Farms and its historyhttps://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/07/kiwi-farms-the-webs-biggest-community-of-stalkers.htmlJesse Singal EXPOSEDPlagiarism Today explains the info required to file a DMCA requesthttps://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2009/04/15/personal-info-and-dmca-notices A minidoc on FoodistzenWhen Jesse was hanging out on one of Teddy’s servers, someone posted this bit of Foodist brillianceBackgroundhttps://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/why-internet-trolls-turning-jacksepticeye-dad-s-death-memes-understanding-bizarre-trendTeddy’s email to KeffalsKeffals’ UberEats is hacked BobPosting’s bathtub estrogenThe graphic threat made against KeffalsFellow KF user responds negatively not because it’s a disgusting post, but because it will help KeffalsAfter @LexerLux succeeds in his scouting expedition, Jesse enters the belly of the beast, under the deepest of coverThe Dumb and Dumber ThanksKilling “ass, gas, or grass?” scene Urban Dictionary explains the termhttps://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ass%20gas%20or%20grassKeffals says she knows who is responsible for stalking her in Belfast on a Sept. 11th stream🔊 Keffals: “I know who this guy is”https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g76Ho-5eMUYSJlnLWUu__KSX3V0d5oAD/view Evidence Keffals was on to Teddy’s online hangouts by September 2ndJesse corresponds, on Discord, with someone who said he called the cops on Teddy and is himself a loyalist……some background on the flag thing (consider this unconfirmed scuttlebutt)…and solid proof that he in fact reported Teddy:AND THEN…A screenshot “from Keffals” threatening Teddy that coincidentally was sent literally the minute before he sent it to Jesse oh wow what a coincidence case closedAnother laughably dumb fake screenshoImage: The Queens waves to the crowds who had gathered to mark her official birthday, from the balcony of Buckingham Palace in London following the Trooping the Colour ceremony.

Today, Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal present the first ever BARPod two-parter in known human history. This duology will chronicle, in exhaustive detail, a calamitous struggle between Kiwi Farms, a gossip board and/or harassment amplifier and/or literal digital version of Hitler’s mountain rereat and/or actual terrorist organization (depending on you ask), and Keffals, a Twitch streamer and trans activist. The story somehow also involves, in no particular order, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Cloudflare, the entire mainstream media, Northern Ireland, Destiny, The Ulster Volunteer Force, The Ulster KiwiFarms Force, “ChudLogic” (?), questionable grooming allegations, unquestionable helping-minors-get-hormones allegations, GoFundMe, mean chat logs, even meaner chat logs, doxxing, harassing, stalking, Ethan Ralph, stealthing, screaming, swatting, and Reply All’s Alex Goldman. (Plus some more stuff in Part 2.)(CORRECTION VIA COMMENTER: “Small correction on the go fund me targets. The original goal was way lower (30k I think). Everytime the goal was reached, a new goal was set in 10k increments. This article shows the goal at 70k just after they passed 60k in donations. I'm sure the wayback machine will have the original page. https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/twitch-streamer-keffals-left-traumatized-getting-swatted”) (Wayback does confirm this: https://archive.ph/WA0XR)(POSSIBLY OVER-CAUTIOUS CLARIFICATION FROM JESSE, 9/12/22: We’ll mention this in the next ep but I do want to be crystal clear that there were firearms present at Keffals’ arrest. The London, Ontario Police Chief’s statement noted, “In this case, firearms were displayed until it was determined a threat no longer existed. I acknowledge that for the average citizen, having heavily armed police officers attend your residence would be traumatic. I understand this was a traumatic and shocking experience for Ms. Sorrenti.” And here’s what Keffals told Vice: “They told me to put my hands up, and when I get to the door, there are three police officers,” Sorrenti said. “Two of them were standing up and one of them in the middle was crouched down behind a riot shield with an assault rifle perched on top of the shield.”)Notes:Keffals claims to be woken up to an assault rifle in her face, leading to the campaign against KiwiFarms This is a public episode.
