(Real Crime Archives) White father, a convicted rapist whose own father was a Nazi who fought for Hitler and was an alcoholic who abandoned his family, trapped his daughter in the basement for 24 years. He blamed cult for her disappearance, while leading a "normal" life above ground with his wife and family, as he began having 7 children with his daughter through incestuous rape, all to keep her under his patriarchal paternal power, he explains.
He says from prison that he is not the only man in Europe doing this. Look around.
The Joe Fritzl case emerged in 2008 when a 73-year-old man name Joe Fritzl named his daughter Elisabeth Fritzl (born 6 April 1966) as the mother of his daughter. Surely, sir, you mean your granddaughter? No, no, I know what I mean.
Joe informed investigators in the city of Amstetten, Lower Austria (Germany's neighboring country, where Adolf Hitler was born), that the mother was a runaway belonging to a cult. When she appeared at the hospital to explain her daughter's illness (never having seen sunshine), she explained that she had been held captive for 24 years by her own child molester, serial rapist father, Josef Fritzl (born 9 April 1935).
Joe Fritzl had sexually and physically assaulted, incestuously abused, and repeatedly raped and impregnated his daughter countless times during her 24-year imprisonment inside a small dungeon Joe built, concealing it an area of their suburban house cellar [1, 2].
The incestuous rapes resulted in the birth of seven children [3]. Three children remained in captivity with their mother, one died shortly after birth and was disposed of by cremation by Joe Fritzl [4], and the other three were brought up out of the dungeon to live with the family upstairs by Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie, claiming they were dropped off by their cult-member daughter Elisabeth, who was in fact still imprisoned just below her mother.
Joe Fritzl convinced his wife, her mother, and the authorities that they were foundlings each time, left at the doorstep by a daughter who could not care for them herself.
Fritzl was finally arrested four decades later by Austrian police on various counts of rape, false imprisonment, murder by negligence, and incest, one week after Elisabeth's eldest daughter, Kerstin, fell ill in the cellar and had to be taken to the hospital by Joe Fritzl himself, against his better judgment.
In March 2009, when Elisabeth unexpectedly showed up to court, Joe Fritzl pleaded guilty to all counts and was sentenced to life imprisonment in a special mental facility, at one point having to change his name due to the notoriety of the case. More
(Zenith Zen) The Zen Buddhist story that will change how you spend the next 60 seconds of your life
Buddhism, Taoism say: "Be here now."
One of the greatest moments in my life, which happened early on, was coming to watch TV on a Saturday morning in LA. My dad already had the TV all tied up. But he was drunk and drifting off. Surely, he didn't know what was on. If I could just exhibit enough patience until his drooping eyes shut, I could slowly lower the volume, change it, and slowly raise the volume again. He'd never know. He would think one program ended and another started.
He may have been onto me because just as he started to drift off, he would rouse himself with some coughing or clearing his throat. I had to wait, pretending to be interested in what he had on, some old timey British movie from the 60s. Half aware, he kept an eye on me. And it seemed every time I made a move to change the channel, he would snap back to consciousness. I had to sit there looking all innocent, watching whatever he had on, until I became mesmerized by what it was.
This remarkable movie was funny and grew increasingly funny as the viewer realized what was happening. I immediately wished for a way to send it back to the beginning so I could see how it unfolded from the start. But there was no way. One could only enjoy as little as one had left of it. I didn't even know if I had missed half of it, 90% of it, or how much was left. But it kept getting funnier and funnier.
The set up was a Faustian bargain between a nobody up against a brilliant and angelic Beelzebub. The first had apparently sold his soul for seven wishes, and the latter was tricking him into quickly using them up. All the schlub wanted was the love of an unattainable beauty he worked with.
And that was enough for the Devil. All he had to do was trick the schlub into picking yet another foolish strategy for attaining his goal and then pull the rug out from under him by giving him what he literally asked for and never the spirit of what he wished. The Devil used the beauty as the bait, and the man kept biting...until, seemingly out of nowhere, he grew a backbone and chose to stop.
"What do you mean 'stop'?" the Devil demanded. "You're too smart for me, I can't get what I wish for, so I'm not going to use up any more wishes." The Devil never heard of such a thing. If the man doesn't use all seven wishes, well, the deal's off. He never gets his soul. The man had inadvertently found a gaping loophole in the blood pact bargain.
Beelzebub was too smart to accept no for an answer, so he seduced the man with friendly talk and an offer to use his place to rest himself, in the meanwhile sending in Lust (played by Raquel Welch) to seduce and confuse him. Then Vanity, all the Seven Deadly Sins at his disposal. The man was soon turned around and continued to wish.
During that brief period of friendship, Beelzebub let the man tag along during his busy day doing mischief and mayhem. As part of those escapades, they found themselves up a telephone pole cutting wires and making prank calls to a woman whose husband was cheating on her, breaking the bad news to get the philanderer in trouble with his wife.
The man, already put off by his own bargain gone bad, felt disgusted at the Devil's behavior. "How can you live with yourself, doing all these petty bad deeds, hurting people?" the man said judgmentally.
The Devil answered that it was his job. Anyway, it was just mischief. But he was hurt and he got the man back with one of the many zingers in this super-clever film. Who knows how this fantastic piece of comic morality tale came to be on American TV, which is usually filled with tripe and cotton candy. This was a truffle by comparison.
The Devil says to the man, "In the words of the great philosopher Lee Kwai Kwak, imagine you were walking along when a tiger jumped out and began to chase you. You run away but come to the edge of a cliff. Looking over, you notice the tiger's mate chomping her jaws waiting for you to fall. You turn around to go the other way, but there's the male tiger chomping its jaws about to eat you. What would you do?" The man's answer?
He exclaims, "What a stupid question! I wouldn't get myself into such a mess in the first place!"
"Oh, no, not you. You're far better off! Here you are halfway up a pole in Berkshire, half your wishes gone and no idea how to get down. You have nothing to learn from Lee Kwai Kwak and his tigers."
The man is nonplussed, realizing he should have paid attention about what to do in such a hopeless situation. Now, not having listened, he's on the edge of ruin.
The film moves on to a climactic scene about the perils of rock 'n roll fame, a moment that could never be nearly so funny had one not sat through every previous trick the Devil pulled on the man. The film? Bedazzled (1967 film). The man? Dudley Moore. The Devil? Peter Cook. So incredibly impactful was watching this that it took years, but I tracked it down.
Vidiots, the world's greatest video store
Vidiots of Santa Monica (now reborn in Eagle Rock) had it! More than that I appeared it. Imagine loving a film so much that you get yourself in it. How? One can't go back in time and change the same timeline. No, but one can appear in the sequel then get cut out of it as the numb director chops the climactic scene, the funniest scene, and replaces it with a nonsensical gag. That's Hollywood for ya, every sequel a waste of time money grab.
Seeing it from the beginning, it was even funnier and more a work of genius than I could have realized and better than I remembered. Every Christian should consider it a must-see to question assumptions about their faith. Every atheist who knows a thing or two about what the Church teaches should see it to see those assumptions skewered. Every Buddhist might way to pay attention when the Trickster begins to explain the Zen parable of the tigers and the strawberries. Will anyone listen? Who knows? One can lead a vidiot to videotape, but one cannot make anyone get it.
Charlie Kirk was terrified of Israel [after refusing Netanyahu's offer of Zionist Jewish funding for his TPUSA]
(Theodore Shoebat) Sept. 10, 2025: Why would Israel assassinate American conservative Charlie Kirk and cast blame on the American left? There are many reasons. Here are some prominent ones.
(Aina | Expat in China) Why Chinese girls want to look like children: Infantilization is the prolonged treatment of one who is not a child as though that person were a child [1]. Studies have shown that an individual, when infantilized, is overwhelmingly likely to feel disrespected. Such individuals may report a sense of transgression akin to dehumanization. It may even have a racist dimension. Infantilization is an important concept pivotal to maintaining slavery. Children of enslaved women would also be enslaved because both belonged to the master.

Reverse-engineered B-21 by Northrup Grumman, an American UFO for public disclosure
Pope Leo XIV is an Augustinian cardinal who spent a great deal of time in the Americas, particularly in Peru, as a dual-citizen.
It's an unbelievable development in world history as the temporal leader (tough guy Trump) and the spiritual leader are from the same country, a rich nation that now rules the rest of the world outright instead of just militarily, financially, and hegemonically (in terms of disproportionate influence).
What is it about Chicago to produce the CIA-groomed dictator of Israel (Bibi Netanyahu), CIA-groomed Barry Soetoro Obama, Trump's favorite historical figure (Al "Scarface" Capone), AND now this holy man, the world's first American pope? To be sure, there are other popes (head patriarchs of various Christian churches) in the world. The only explanation given so far? "He's the least American American," which is a nice epigram. If the US is a War Machine, Pope Leo is a man of peace.
However, this is the continuation of the Holy Roman Empire that rules the world through devotion of more than a billion adherents (1.4 billion total and 1 in 5 Americans) and untold riches stored away in public and secret investment bank accounts all over the world and booty stored in the Vatican (City) in the Holy See.
The grandeur of the Holy Roman Empire headquarters, the palace at Saint Peter's Square
The "Holy See" is its own independent country/city-state in the middle of Rome, where Mithras was for so long worshipped until being swapped out for Jewish Jesus Christ and, more importantly, his mother, Goddess Virgin Mary (Jewish Miriam).
Peter the Roman?
You forced me out too soon!
If this is "Peter the Roman," that must mean the USA is the new ROME, the new world-dominating imperial power. Prevost is Italian (ROMAN) and French, on his father's side, with a mother who's French, African, and Spanish, a dual citizen born in the U.S. but also possessing Peruvian citizenship. Peru is as happy as the U.S. about his selection.
With the trial of Sean Puffy Puff Daddy P Diddy Combs' trial scheduled to begin on May 12, 2025, many rappers, rapists, and celebrities are shaking in their Gucci boots, fearing they will be named and exposed for crimes committed with and around Diddy and his infamous parties. How long before he is "Epsteined" like Virginia Giuffre, convinced to commit self-unaliving for the greater good of the blackmailing industry.
I like the young ones, Jeff. - Me too, Donald.
Is Trump worried as he employed little Virginia Roberts Giuffre through his collective business enterprises? Our Fearless Leader might be implicated in child sex crimes not involving his beloved daughter Ivanka but another blonde in his employment. Of course, he can sign a presidential decree and bury it all, call in a favor to "silence" Diddy and make it all go bye-bye.

It finally arrived. Today, American comedic actor Betty White (The Golden Girls, Mary Tyler Moore Show) gets her own US Post Service "forever" stamp.

All hail the great feminist pioneer Bea Arthur (Maude, Dorothy Zbornak) for keeping White on the hit show.
