[00:00]	no-questions-asked	Criminal Fraud. Criminal fraud is a crime that involves a scheme to cheat or deceive another individual or entity in order to obtain a financial gain or a similar type of advantage.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	The government has immunity for whatever it does.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	Especially now.
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	They used to do sting operations in the United States to get gay men to agree they'd have consensual sex with an undercover cop.
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	Then out came the handcuffs.
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	This went on until 2002 in up to 16 states.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	It worked exactly the same way those sting operations to catch a pedophile work now. We got the same treatment and did not even have to do anything wrong.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	This is how the government prioritized police resources during the 1980s crime wave.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	Oh no, two men having sex.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	Get em! Get em!
[00:04]	no-questions-asked	they save alot of people from geting AIDS
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	By shutting down the HIV prevention programs with DOGE?
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	They will at least double the number of new HIV cases.
[00:06]	no-questions-asked	 men having sex should only be permited in prisons as punishment
[00:07]	MinceR	23 010126 < IsambardPrince> Especially now.
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I think we have another Brandon Lobster.
[00:07]	MinceR	"I believe in honesty. Especially now."
[00:08]	no-questions-asked	im just thinking the way they do
[00:08]	MinceR	as in, "not at all"?

[01:51]	IsambardPrince	Just in case any weirdness happens.

[03:31]	IsambardPrince	I wonder how a fully cooked chicken from the store costs a bit less than an uncooked chicken.

● Mar 23
[05:03]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I posted:
[05:03]	IsambardPrince	"When they have disappeared a green card holder, won't say why, subjected him to "enhanced interrogation techniques" until he collapsed of dehydration, they took him to the hospital claiming "flu" and then kept detaining him, all while denying him the right to see a lawyer or someone from the German consulate, and also the German and United Kingdom governments have issued travel warnings to their citizens which basically warn of 
[05:03]	IsambardPrince	arbitrary law enforcement in the US, yeah, you need to be concerned.
[05:03]	IsambardPrince	The only thing anyone knows about the German guy is he's been in the US for well over a decade and hasn't had any trouble except a dismissed misdemeanor marijuana arrest from California in 2015.
[05:03]	IsambardPrince	I thought you weren't supposed to get in trouble if you didn't get convicted or plead guilty or something?
[05:03]	IsambardPrince	Trump is turning a free country into a stinking corrupt hellhole, and in the meantime he wants to just sell "Gold Cards" to anyone who pays $5 million so we can get sex trafficker friends of his like Jeffrey Epsteins of the world, and Russian oligarchs.
[05:03]	IsambardPrince	Literally anyone who has $5 million and wants to come in here, we'll just figure out what they are later I guess, and he actually wants to call it the "Trump Card" now, an official government benefit."
[05:05]	IsambardPrince	"You get really awful people with investor visas, but they're the kind Trump likes. Really awful people and criminals with lots of money."
[05:06]	MinceR	fidesz - hungarian pedophile alliance did something similar
[05:07]	MinceR	first "settlement bond" (letelepedsi ktvny), now "golden visa" (aranyvzum)
[05:07]	MinceR	though fidesz - hungarian pedophile alliance spent years baiting against "migrants" before they started this, iirc
[05:08]	IsambardPrince	What a coincidence. Trump spent years bashing migrants, now sells $5 million green cards (or gold cards or Trump cards) to pedophile island people and Russian criminals.
[05:09]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Probably the only reason to want Hungarian citizenship is so you can go live somewhere else in the EU after they sell it to you. The EU is so much of a pushover, they allow it I guess.
[05:10]	IsambardPrince	They do nothing while EU citizenship is cheapened by corrupt dictatorships they allowed in and won't do anything about.
[05:11]	MinceR	indeed
[05:11]	IsambardPrince	That brings another question.
[05:11]	IsambardPrince	Why haven't you exercised your right to live in another EU country?
[05:11]	IsambardPrince	Is there an easy path to getting some other citizenship outside Orbanistan before they throw it out and slam the door maybe someday?
[05:12]	MinceR	i'm not sure what will happen to my mother if i do, and lately the other states are falling like dominoes
[05:12]	MinceR	it's better to be in a nazi country where i'm a native than to be in a nazi country where i'm a "migrant"
[05:12]	MinceR	i don't know if there's an easy path to getting some other citizenship, there might be
[05:13]	IsambardPrince	Germany or France maybe. If you speak the language.
[05:15]	IsambardPrince	Stay where you are and Fid"SS"-Hungarian Pedophile Alliance stays in power forever. Move to Germany, and AfD only *might* topple the government eventually.
[05:15]	IsambardPrince	Hmm, decisions decisions.

[06:09]	IsambardPrince	Selling green cards and letting them skip the lines ensures we will get really bad people, with money. Apparently when you can just buy your way in, the US government doesn't care what you are.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	With the current EB-5 Visa, Michael Pratt of GirlsDoPorn got in, he's currently in prison for like forever, because the "business" turned out to be sex trafficking, raping minors, and putting some of it on their PornHub channel, he got American citizenship through EB-5.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	So all it takes is $5 million and under Trump's plan you don't even have to prove you'll start a business and hire people, so it's more expensive but at this point you're just buying a green card."
[06:15]	IsambardPrince	"They already let criminals and people with a sham business come here and barely look into it. Some start a business that loses money, and they don't care that it's bleeding cash because they'll shut it down anyway once they have their naturalization certificate.
[06:15]	IsambardPrince	So this whole thing may even make it cheaper for those people. Just $5 million one time and no need to run a "business" that bleeds."
[06:16]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, EB-5 is how you get a beachhead.
[06:16]	IsambardPrince	Then once you get one in that way and they're an American, they start filing petitions to bring "immediate relatives" over.
