(my comment made on 02/01/2026)
Great phrase regarding RR, "The mask did not slip, it got unsealed by a court of law." I am an ordinary person who used to watch and re-watch Deadpool movies. I cannot any more. Even with the Deadpool mask, that voice takes me out of the movie. I did read (legacy media, so who knows) that Marvel put back an RR film onto their schedule, that had previously been put on hold. You know what my first thought was, I wonder who was paid or rewarded or threatened for that to happen. Likely, I am wrong, but that thought came like a reflexive action. For the next few years these celebrities (probably most of the actors from IEWU) might want to keep their heads down, feet off the red carpet and please for the sake of our sanity stop your PR from planting stories of hospital visits/donations, cheering at your sponsored soccer team 's games or baking inedible (allegedly ๐) cakes.
Posted to The Spotlight Shift (BL vs. JB/Wayfarer unsealed texts) Uploaded to You Tube on 02/01/2026
I began having doubts about BL's claims when JB and Wayfarer employees, friends and relatives were sent to the basement of the theater showing the premiere. I mean who does that to the director and production company? I do remember when I went from considering this a pretty people problem to becoming quite upset. My anger came when BL's legal team sent over 100 subpoenas to people with absolutely nothing to do with this case except that they commented impartially then used critical thinking skills to realize the details did not line up. Most of the recipients of these subpoenas did not have millions or even thousands for legal expense. Punching down is a very bad look, especially when you want everyone's sympathy, support and sustained fandom. I agree that PGA letter was both a proclamation of power and an epic fail of judgement. Unfortunately you are probably correct, PR articles already written are waiting in the wings destined to be cut and pasted into legacy media, giving a positive spin regarding BL and RR. They had better have a 6 foot stack of letters as it will take considerable spin to make all of us forget what lies beneath the pomp and circumstance of Hollywood.
Posted to Dave Neal-Rush Hour (RE: Sunday news updates) Uploaded to YT on 02/01/2026
After that PGA letter, it seems like all BL has left for that jury trial in May 2026, is that smear campaign that supposedly produced dislike for BL on social media. I do not think that she actually cares (or even understands how social media works). Why care when legacy media is praising her as if she was the savior of humankind? BL may be miffed about her popularity and likability, but this PR show isn't for us (aka the people who shop at COSTCO and worry about their next mortgage payment). My speculation is that her audience for all the SEO is, ALLEGEDLY, movie studios, investors, insurers, A-list directors, casting agents, essentially the power brokers of Hollywood...imo ๐

I understand BL's legal team. You hire an expert, you pay that expert, you expect that expert to help you...expertly. However Dr. Freyd has done, as any astute expert giving depositions to a court should do, cover their posterior with lots of disclaimers. These disclaimers are sufficient to cover the doctor in a court of law. However, the court of public opinion does not always read past the article title and the first paragraph. Plus I hypothesize that SONY is probably not happy with Dr. Freyd either. Should she be advised to hire...a crisis PR person? ๐

WARNING: incoming rant. I do not care if BL's legal team found a necromancer then acquired and submitted expert reports from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Charles Darwin, Leonardo da Vinci, Aristotle and Earl Warren (in no particular order of intellect or influence). If even these experts were missing even one piece of data, said reports are worthless (although the necromancy aspect might be intriguing). I am not blaming Dr. Freyd, she did include disclaimers. However to use a PR expression, actions like this dilute her brand and more importantly her message. What really irks me is us (aka the public) being thought of as that dim, that clueless by the plaintiff's legal team. NAG indicated that this stunt worked. I would like to argue that, but as usual she is likely correct. Correct in that all those small town industry execs (aka Hollywood denizens) and finance people think hiring Dr. Freyd is a nifty idea.

Oh the irony that continues its march towards extreme-irony. Had BL and RR, allegedly, not put this coup into motion, we would not: (1) understand the significance of terms like, astroturfing, SEO, crisis PR (2) realize just how impotent MSM/legacy media is and finally (3) feel that the entertainment industry needs to be placed in one of Dante's 9 circles of h3ll (Inferno from The Divine Comedy). Personally I am stuck on 3 choices of those 9 circles: Circle 4 is Greed, Circle 8 is Fraud and Circle 9 is Treachery. NOTE: this is all supposition, speculation, hypothesis with touch of snark. That being said I would welcome the experience of seeing a subpoena being sent to Dante Alighieri at his last known (as of 1321) address, Ravenna Italy. Hey a girl can dream.

This is not law, just a gut feeling, speculation and all the allegedly's to protect against sus subpoenas. In the months upcoming to the trial, RR and BL will be doing increasingly more volunteer/donation behaviors. They may even hint that they have a project "in development". It will be "rumored" that Maximum Effort has expanded to major studio status with several celebrities (guess who๐) interested in "projects". I am not ruling out a new family member, perhaps child #5, either thru traditional means or adoption.

The only thing Jeffrey Epstein believed in was himself. The only allegiance he had, was to himself. I could see him working for certain governments that wished to compromise certain individuals. If Epstein took it to double agent status, he was playing a highly dangerous game. Spoiler, not so much, but he "lost" that game at Metropolitan Correctional Center-NYC on August 10, 2019. As for Satanism, well some of Epstein's "guests" may shrug off images with their arm around a woman who may actually be under the age of consent by saying, I did not know. However to be seen with said girl while in demonic cosplay would likely get you voted out of office or kicked out of your company and ripped apart online. POSSIBLE READING: maybe it was said in jest, but didn't Epstein indicate that (the now former) Prince Andrew was even more twisted than he (aka Epstein) was? Of course, maybe we do NOT want to know?

Thank you Brian Entin for this concise, clear coverage. If the Ring camera that was removed had subscription coverage, there would be cloud storage. While neighbor's cameras would not show Nancy's house, other Ring/security cameras might show any odd behavior in that neighborhood by people who were not residents or known workers. I agree the newly surfacing and late timing of multiple ransom notes seems odd. While this crime may have started as a burglary, it has now accelerated to a kidnapping hence the FBI involvement. Before this crime becomes life in prison w/o possibility for parole concerning the perpetrators, it would be prudent to take Mrs. Guthrie to a hospital immediately. While we should not expect compassion at this point, I am sure that self-preservation would be a factor. I am hoping for a quick, satisfactory resolution for Nancy Guthrie.

Never heard of Peter Attlia. It might be my prejudice, but when I come across anyone who has not attained their title by doing all the work, I wonder, speculate and yes I do make assumptions. Why does he allow that title to be used when any reference is made to him in media? The tone of his "apology" letter reinforces my opinion that MR. Attlia sees himself as innocent, above reproach and "doesn't get it". Will CBS fire him? IMO only if the money indicates that is the direction to take.

At this point, I think those new video releases by BL's team of the rooftop scene is intended content solely for MSM/legacy media. It is almost 2nd hand embarrassment seeing those stories being published as news. As for the actual author of that scene's rewrite, I still do not know how he can get away with it as that was during the WGA strike. Likely the inclusion of Dr. Freyd's report is also PR. At least Dr. Freyd was smart enough to include disclaimers such as she was only judging the situation with the information as provided by her employer (word choice "employer" is mine). However, if one does not read the entire report, you might mistake Dr. Freyd for supporting the plaintiff's side. A result might be to potentially weaken the concept and brand of DARVO. Were Dr. Freyd to hire a crisis PR person (SO ironic if that happened) the advice given might include donating a substantial portion of the payment for this report to a woman's shelter. woman's health clinic or work collaborative ASAP.

One thing that we need, I include myself, is to keep reminding ourselves that we must apply the law impartially. We have to use it equally to apply to the worst of us, in order to be able to apply to the best and rest of us. (BTW I am not implying, nor intending, to put anyone involved in this case in any category ๐.) QUESTION: I know about spousal privilege, however with all those alleged "shell" companies that BL and RR own, RR writing that rooftop scene (wasn't there a writer's strike then?) and the shouting sessions which should have been business meetings...can RR be forced to testify? If so would he plead the 5th on every IEWU/WGA/business question or could he simply state, spousal privilege?

I do not understand how the whole hierarchy of production companies, studios, cast or anything in the entertainment business works. Did SONY get lazy and not pay attention? SONY was the adult in the room (whether on set or not) for IEWU. They knew that their children were squabbling. We have the receipts. Is SONY legally responsible? Morally maybe, however legally is a whole different reality. I really do not see anyone, even Wayfarer, suing SONY. There was that law suit that Scarlett Johansson won against Marvel (essentially Disney). However she had a contract which Bob Chapek (then CEO at Disney) foolishly chose to ignore, along with warnings from others such as Scarlett Johansson's agent/manager. In trying to show his worth to Disney, Bob Chapek lost his job, the trust of the board & the stockholders. Perhaps some may consider themselves invincible (all those superhero movies๐ )? The reality is, filing a lawsuit against SONY is not just burning a bridge. That act would be dropping your power, career and wealth into a massive wildfire.

As with the acquisition of DARVO expert's (Dr. Jennifer Freyd) report, my speculation is that this latest report is yet another pre-trial PR effort to change public (probably more targeted to Hollywood execs allegedly not the brightest bulbs in the room...allegedly๐), opinion. As with Dr. Freyd's report, this latest expert (in smear campaigns...again I have to say; allegedly?) report would NEVER stand up to the scrutiny of a defense cross or the jury's impressions regarding: (1) collection of data (2) use of that data (3) application and (4) conclusions based on (1) (2) (3). This is a VERY old expression: GIGO. And YES that acronym applies to any (not necessarily to either of those referenced๐คฃ in this comment ) expert's report.

Posted to Brian Entin (RE: latest update in Nancy Guthrie case) Uploaded to You Tube 02/05/2026
I do appreciate these timely, clear and concise updates by Brian Entin. I was very unhappy to learn that there was no subscription for the doorbell camera. Perhaps there were privacy concerns, but still for so little money there might have been evidence. My assumption is that there were other cameras in and around the home. If accurate, are none of them on subscription? Glad to hear that there has been an arrest of an individual sending a fake ransom demand. While gratifying that they were caught, it still amazes me regarding the immense cluelessness. foolishness and mindlessness of some people. What the (retired) FBI agent hinted at, is the seemingly lack of mention of Annie Guthrie's husband in all of this. I agree, this seems odd, out of place. Living only 10 minutes away, both Annie and her spouse should have been actively helping Nancy Guthrie in daily activities. It has been 6 days (as of this post) since the abduction of Nancy Guthrie. For an elderly person with medical/mobility issues, that is a very long time.

I have had babies. It does takes a toll on one's body. However, BL took on this movie role voluntarily. I did not like her on set wardrobe (from movie clips, I did not see the movie). Although in part (the loose part๐) I do understand her motivation due to naturally feeling uncomfortable post-pregnancy. As for a stylist trying to explain away this movie's odd fashion for its main character as being a metaphor for a hurt person trying to be invisible, nope not even close to a proper explanation. A hurt person trying to be invisible would be in dark neutrals, no bright colors not even in her hair, no jewelry and certainly no Louboutins. The wacky, weird, wild fashion she wore on the PR tour, well that was a whole different situation. BL (?RR) chose those outfits for a body after weeks of workouts. The PR push of "wear your florals and bring your friends" seems to be the tone-deaf reactions of someone who did NOT read THE book. ๐
Posted to Mollie McPherson (RE: Latest Press Conference on Nancy Guthrie) Uploaded 02/05/2026
I find so much odd (well apart from the chaotic presser). An elderly women with health and mobility issues living alone, yet no subscription for the doorbell ring camera that was essentially her first line of protection? Were there any other cameras either inside or around the home? If so, still none with subscriptions? Savannah Guthrie has fame and wealth. However she is not a CEO of a tech company. She is not an internationally famous actor. So why abduct her mother, Nancy Guthrie? I agree with other comments. This is either a burglary gone wrong or someone either working/living locally who had a really bad plan. They abducted an adult who is frail and not very mobile. I believe that all Nancy Guthrie's cards (bank, credit, ATM, ID) were left at the home along with her phone. I also agree that blaming the press, is a massive indicator of disorganization by those who should know and do better. Not sure if it was analyzed on this channel, but remember the presser in the case regarding the tragedy of Melodee Buzzard? I believe LE and DA's office THANKED the press for keeping this case in the news.

Great discussion! Reminds me that I should go on Substack more often. IMO the abduction of Nancy Guthrie has become so widely reported and engaged people's fascination is that this incident feels like an anomaly. Not to diminish the potential tragedy of this abduction, but it is an unsolved puzzle. If a burglary gone wrong, why was Nancy Guthrie taken off the property? If this was a kidnapping why no ransom note? Why leave a potential source of cash such as the victim's possessions (credit, ATM, ID cards) at the home with the phone. Why kidnap someone who needs so much care due to health conditions including a need for daily meds? Why leave meds at the home? Did they know she has a pacemaker? Many pacemakers now connect with phones. While leaving the phone at the house, ended the interaction of the pacemaker and the phone, suspending the communication between the phone and the pacemaker gave LE/FBI critical timeline data. Most kidnappers have a plan. Usually it is a bad plan, but still is...a plan. I hope the kidnappers come to their senses and take Nancy Guthrie to a hospital ASAP. As bad as the punishment is for kidnapping, I guarantee the punishment for M1 is so much worse.

THANK YOU for sharing. This is a potentially life saving message for someone out there. Over the years I have been the patient of physicians who obviously thought that they worked at a fast food restaurant not a medical center. Get the client in, then get them out FAST. Due to my health issues accompanied by a family history of strokes, clots and heart attacks, I was put on a blood thinner (81 mg of enteric aspirin once/day) as a prophylactic treatment. Fortunately, this medication is inexpensive, obtainable over the counter and has relatively few side effects (rarely stomach ulcers, any acid reflux can worsen and bleeds can be more copious).While there are disclaimer enclosures that come with prescription drugs they are usually in Barbie-doll font and not very clear. The doctor should thoroughly explain any new meds to the patient. While I would not sue, I would write the directors of each of the institutions that sent you away with a diagnosis of being overweight or viral infection. They failed you and they failed their oath as physicians. They did not: (1)apparently take a proper history [did they know you were on bc?], (2)perform basic tests (like CBC) and (3) keep you in hospital until that pulse rate was normal. In any letter, I would include a link to this video as you did an excellent, effective commentary regarding a very scary event.

I hate to admit it, but he was charismatic. I can only imagine the shock of the girls he hired, once they realized what creature (not THE devil, but certainly A devil) that now controlled their lives. I agree that this interview is likely a training session to perfect Epstein's acceptance in society as a person who earned his wealth due to his acumen with investing. This video still might have been incorporated with additional film and released had Epstein not moved to Hades the old fashioned way. Or perhaps someone saw the image of the scariest creature on the planet, a monster who looked just like us thus decided no thanks?

This is a tragedy, as even if still alive, Nancy Guthrie will have suffered physical and emotional injuries that will likely make living independently impossible. This whole kidnapping seems like the work of amateurs who probably based their strategy on movies and other fantasies. I believe it was one the the retired FBI agents who said that the wording of the ransom notes seemed more "competent" that this whole kidnapping. If any of those notes were from the kidnappers, that implies assistance from another. Doubtful another human conspirator would be added to this group so perhaps ChatGPT?

The amount of stress, both physical and emotional, on any kidnapped person is substantial. The choice of the target of this kidnapping to me (I have zero expertise in this investigative field) indicates rank amateurs. Professionals would not have chosen such an infirm target requiring intense care to keep alive and healthy. IMO Nancy Guthrie was taken by those known to her and/or those close to her. That second video by the siblings, gives me the saddened feeling that Nancy Guthrie is no longer with us. While LE has been less than efficient, I think we need to wait until there has been resolution in this case before casting blame. I am somewhat concerned about the arrival and eventual statement of Kash Patel (Director of the FBI). I pray that he does not try to turn this tragedy into a photo op or political advertisement.

IMO our obsession with the Nancy Guthrie abduction is the anomaly of it all. Nothing lines up. Maybe it was a burglary gone wrong, but why take an elderly woman with medical issues and limited mobility? Then it was a kidnapping. But the initial ransom notes were confusing, late and mixed in with trolls seeking money. Why not send encrypted messages to Savannah Guthrie's office in NYC? Meds, watch, phone and bank cards were left in the house. For some reason (as far as I know) none of the security cameras within or around the house had subscriptions, thus no cloud storage. However a pacemaker linked to NG's phone (& possibly watch) gave a definitive timestamp of when it lost contact with NG. Now we are presented with puzzle full of contradictions, twists and turns that is grabbing the news cycle blotting out cases such as Nick Reiner, Charlie Kirk, newly released (but not all !)

Precious time has passed, I fear that this will end as it began, with a tragedy. Yes you can disable Roblox in your home, not allow your child to have an account. However what about every child at school, every playdate, sleepover and even camp. A parent does not have Hermione Granger's Time-Turner. The most efficient way to eliminate the danger that is preying on children using Roblox is for the company to address this problem internally. Accept help from vetted mods and security services.

Ant need not apologize for this reading. Scarily, evil and unethical have become the new mundane and boring. I agree that essentially the 2 major U. S. political parties have been merging for years. However in 2015 the Republicans decided to go full cult. Unfortunately about the same time the Democrats decided to go full clueless. Ironically since 2015 while the 2 parties have become more different, they are both still ineffectual, greedy and not very smart. Clinton has been a "party animal" for many decades. It was a given the name "Clinton" would appear throughout the Epstein files. Hillary Clinton has always been the pragmatist in that family or as ant read, "the fixer". However running for president was her biggest mistake. Maybe do a reading as to why the Democratic Party ran a candidate that many analysts thought would lose due to public opinions? My speculation is perhaps being the Democratic candidate for president was her payment for jobs done?
