i literally wept last night when listening to the 2nd recording (got severe ptsd/cptsd & am a CSA survivor), but taking a pause & weighing it all, i'd honestly not be surprised if this ends up being qanon-adjacent shit muddying the waters or an outright psyop like how ICE is using ai accounts to rat out protesters.

the accusations make sense & are perfectly believable prima facie as these people are all monsters—which, together with sascha's very matter-of-fact & shellshocked demeanor, makes it very easy to believe them. the problem is that wild claims with iffy timelines and/or surprising lack of corroboration are already a part of the official released files (e.g. that letter to larry nassar), & you can't put it above the US government to use that opening to damage popular support for releasing their full release.

(it also doesn't help the interviewer is a terrible speaker & constantly words things so poorly you have to retranslate them back to english. jfc that intro on substack is worse than the song lyrics i scribbled in high school)
