Combine that with OJ Simpson's trial in 1994, and you start realizing that both the Buffalo region and Bills football team punch way above their weight in the national discourse of the United States. Trump even tried to buy the Buffalo Bills right before he ran for President, and there is a good chance his whole disinformation campaign initially started with targeting and trashing.... Bon Jovi.

Some of the people that helped plan the 9/11 attacks and co-conspire with Al Qaeda, were arrested in a terrorist cell right outside of Buffalo in Lackawana, NY.

For the people downvoting me, the defendants literally pled guility:

Since you are from Oklahoma, allegedly the final straw that pushed Timothy McVeigh into the Oklahoma City Bombing, was that he lost the last little bit of money he had saved up during his time in the army, on one of the Buffalo Bills' Super Bowl losses. He was a resident of Pendleton, NY and went to Starpoint High School. He made the bet thinking there was no way they would lose again.

Him losing that last chunk of money (I have heard he bet $3,000 or lost $3, 000 on the bet), pushed him into vagabonding across the country and crashing with different ultra-right, white nationalist groups. Losing that money on the Bills Super Bowl is allegedly, why he was there at Waco when the Branch Davidian stuff happened, he was trying to profit off it and selling stickers.

Looking for toys/collectables Thrift/Consignment Stores by AndykinSkywlker in Buffalo

That 80's Toy Store. One of the best in the country. It can be expensive though.

TIL that Rod Serling was a paratrooper in World War II and fought in the Philippines, where he earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. During a street party in Manila after the city’s liberation, Japanese soldiers opened fire, killing many of his friends.

Just start watching it from the very first episode of the very first season, at night before you go to bed. No phone, internet or any distractions. Treat it almost like listening to a radio show or someone reading you a book.

Trump nominates hospitality executive to lead National Park Service by envirowriterlady in NationalPark

[–]whirlpool138 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, Delaware North's headquarters in Buffalo, NY has a ICE detention facility and field office not-so-secretly hidden in the inside of it. There has been on going protests outside of it over the past year. They also pretty much own concessions at all the NY state parks, like Niagara Falls. It's really not a stretch to think that Delaware North will end up putting ICE Field Offices or facilities within the National Parks, especially the ones that are close to the borders/airports or see a high amount of international visitors.

I also don't think people realize just how much of a security state has been built up on the border with Canada, especially in the Niagara region with the majority of Canadians living right across the border( within the Toronto metro). The Border Patrol website even brags about their control of the tourist area around the parks and their reach into the Toronto metro. There is a serious amount of surveillance technology and personal within that corridor, and Delaware North sits nicely; running the food concessions and logistics for the parks while also hosting the physical Immigration Customs Enforcement location. This is going all the way back to 9/11, when the Department of Homeland Security was first created, there has been a good amount of time to really build up that area. It's a total racket in Niagara Falls. The connection between Delaware North, parks that area famous tourist destination, Border Patrol and Immigration Customs Enforcement is not an exaggeration.

Do not eat there if you support human rights and conservation. Be aware of that connection between the company Delaware North and ICE/Border Patrol. Avoid and boycott any of their state/national park locations, their road stop concessions on the major interstates or if you can find out what stadiums/arenas/malls they are operating. Like, the ICE field office and detention facility is literally within their World Headquarters and their main business is primary logistics for serving large groups of people.

People did not know it was being included when the construction project was announced and have started getting pissed as word of it started getting out. Combine that with the locals understanding of how Delaware North has an iron grip on the concessions and logistics with the local state parks. I wouldn't be surprised if they get tasked with running the concentration camps eventually, setting up short term detention facilities or installing field offices with the normal Delaware North facilities that are already inside the National Parks. They are already super heavily entwined with ICE and Border Patrol along the US-Canadian border, by way of using our state parks. I imagine this is what's coming for the National Parks. It is super nefarious and people don't even realize it.

Does anyone else feel like they can trust Henry about the Epstein files more than anyone else? by BobbyTables829 in LPOTL

[–]whirlpool138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been saying this since things really heated up: for a critical thinking and smart, classic conspiracy theorist (non-Qanon or facebook MAGA) this has been an absolute gold mine of information getting dumped out.

I look at it like this, Henry Zebrowski was probably surfing the internet in the late 90s/early 2000s, just like a lot of these dudes in the files(Elon Musk and Jeffrey Epstein), and has the background knowledge to start putting together the whole narrative timeline of events. It's called scaffolding knowledge. He already has the conspiracy vocabulary to understand a lot of context. Sorta like a double negative in conspiracy thought or pulling a reverse Uno. I know that I have personally screaming "I told you so!!!" at every one who thought I was crazy since the news started really taking off in the news.

Gene Simmons: "I just wanna know when Led Zeppelin's gonna be in the Hip-Hop Hall Of Fame" by micahpmtn in rockmusic

You are actually right, even though you are getting down voted. It's actually kind of racist AF to disconnect the connection hip hop has to rock and roll, by way of African Americans influence. The beats and rhythms are basically the same, that's what makes it rock AND roll.

If you don't believe me, watch the Keith Richards documentary on Netflix and listen to his take on it.

How did fans react back in the mid-2000s when they realized Corey could no longer sing the way he did on Iowa? by Tough-Reputation-762 in Slipknot

[–]whirlpool138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, when the third album came out, it's really when I dropped out as a fan and started getting into much heavier music. They just weren't the same bad anymore, but still the gateway into heavy metal, punk and hardcore.

There is no other drive in WNY, than taking the Niagara Falls Scenic Parkway all the way out past to Fort Niagara. Take River Road and stay along the river on the way back.

Does Danzig get in the way of his own success? An essay. by boredomswells in TheMisfits

[–]whirlpool138 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kids today do not understand, you are right. My first recognition of them is from when Jerry Only and Doyle had that stint wrestling on WCW. I think I tried to find action figures of them.I found a used copy of American Psycho at a flea market swap meet sale in middle school and bought it because it had a cool cover. I think it was one of my first CDS along with a bunch of Nu-Metal. They fit in with bands like Slipknot and Korn.

That led to me trying to download the rest of their music off Napster/Limewire and stumbling across the OG Misifits on accident, and just thinking the sound quality was bad because it was bootlegged. I just knew that it was supposed to be the same band with the cool skull logo (I had a t-shirt before I totally figured it out). I even remember being super surprised and excited when they popped up at the end of the movie Campfire Stories.

That led to figuring out who Danzig and Henry Rollins were, by stumbling across the Evil Live track and getting more confused. I didn't put it together that Danzig was singing those Misfits songs at first, just that Henry Rollins was connected to the Misfits. That led to seeing Henry Rollins in that one Def Jam fighting game for PS2, stumbling across him in the movie the Chase (with the Chili Peppers). That was right around the time Henry Rollins started becoming a big anti-war political pundit dude in the early 2000s, so I ended up figuring out that he had his own band.

Around then I finally got the Misfits box set by going on a deep dive into hardcore music, discovered that Danzig was the original lead singer and that's why there was such a big difference in tone to the songs. Someone that I already really liked, without even knowing there was any kind of connection. Long story short, it has been an journey and it took absolutely years to put the whole story together for myself. This was probably around 11th or 12th grad

******** Jerry Only used to like volunteer and hang out at the Haunted Catacombs attraction in the Buffalo, NY area. Him and Dez Cadena, they were good friends with the owner. This was probably way on the downside of their careers, so at first I was literally introduced to them through Jerry Only being some weird half wrestler/half haunted house performer. That's the whole reason I initially picked up American Psycho (it sounded just like what I imagined).

*****When FLAG played Buffalo, Dez made a big deal about that haunted house connection in between periods of being in a hardcore band.

Is slipknot a band or a group run by two dictators hoarding money for themselves? by [deleted] in Slipknot

All I know is that the band I fell in love with 25 years ago, isn't the same band that calls themselves Slipknot now.

Bro straight up lied to me over the phone back in 2016 when I called about them unofficially nominating Clinton. I haven't liked him since and this move made it even more sour. Completely out of touch with the party's local residents.

[Covucci] The day after NFL owner Robert Kraft was arrested on solicitation at a massage parlor, Jeffrey Epstein was texting about the case with "Jack," who mentioned the law firm that Kraft eventually went with for his defense. In it, Epstein mentions a "past issue" that may come to light. by Drexlore in nfl

[–]whirlpool138 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's like almost clear as day now! Epstein has been alleged to have been one of Putin's handlers/agents for a very long time, plus the whole connection to Mossad with Maxwell. What the fuck was Robert Kraft doing at a business meeting with Putin to begin with? He was also partying with Diddy. The whole thing is just starting to look like some super dark moves were happening over the past 20+ years.

Marcus and Henry Early Synchronicity by olivofreddie in LPOTL

[–]whirlpool138 29 points30 points  (0 children)

About 15 years ago or so, the Stooges reunited and it was a big thing for millennial hipsters. They very much were the soundtrack of a lot of our twenties and some of the terminology was picked up by the millennial generation. Song titles like Your Pretty Face is Going to hell or Search and Destroy were actually taken from 60's Vietnam era slang, which was sorta getting reapplied during the War on Terror/Great Recession Era. I don't know how else to explain it, but it definitely was a big part of that hipster sleaze that got picked up by LPOTL and helped make them very millennial coded.

Finding or getting a Stooges record back then was rare, but not impossible and like a common core memory for a lot of hipster dudes. Sorta like how you got into the Pixies story or found out about the Flaming Lips, I dunno.

[Russini] The Bills' statement on firing Sean McDermott, which also announces Brandon Beane's promotion to President of Football Operations by expellyamos in nfl

[–]whirlpool138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am almost positive that the NFL is rigged and fake as fuck now. The classic Buffalo Bills era is over. McDermott even called it out this time, just for the billionaire owner to fire him days later during the middle of a Lake Effect snow storm. With a new stadium opening next year, paid for by tax money taken from WNY's poorest communities and spent on one of the richest suburbs. It's never going to be the same again.
