DePape blogged about meditating, playing video games at the library, and buying "a fantasy miniature salamander" on Etsy.

He blogged about not buying "a fairy house on Etsy" because — as WaPo puts it in "Alleged assailant filled blog with delusional thoughts in days before Pelosi attack" — he "was frustrated that the doors were painted and so could not be used by a fairy."

In DePape's words: “They have lots of fairy houses but NONE of them are MADE for fairies,” he wrote. 

WaPo casually defames Jordan Peterson:

In late August, DePape became engrossed in the decision by Twitter to ban Jordan Peterson for his posts about transgender people. The Canadian psychologist turned conservative podcaster had once said that being transgender was comparable to “satanic ritual abuse.”

Jordan Peterson did NOT say that "being transgender was comparable to 'satanic ritual abuse.'" Peterson  compared the belief that one is transgender to the belief that one has been a victim of satanic ritual abuse. He did not suggest that transgender people are like satanic abusers! He was discussing the phenomenon of "social contagion."

Back to WaPo:

DePape published six posts in support of Peterson and then continued with his own caustic takes on transgender people, saying they should not be a protected group. “They were not BORN a freak. They are not INHERENTLY a freak threw no fault of their own. … They are CHOOSING to be FREAKS,” he wrote in one post.

DePape also misunderstood Peterson, but not as badly as The Washington Post misunderstood Peterson.

"Peterson the belief that one is transgender to the belief that one has been a victim of satanic ritual abuse"

"Compared"?

Anyway, doesn't it make you mad when they deliberately misrepresent the views of someone trying so hard to do good in the world?

This is what satanic.

The relevant inquiry is more likely does high potency marijuana induce psychosis?.

“Zero touch with reality,” Scott recalled. The family checked Kyle into a psychiatric facility, where his delusions got worse. He thought his dad ran the mafia and had put Joe Biden in office. He demanded that his parents give him $10 million.

Meg and Scott were sure their son was messed up on some hardcore drug. But when the institution ran a drug test, Kyle came up positive only for his prescribed Attention Deficit Disorder medication and for THC — that is, marijuana...

Johnny killed himself in 2019 at the age of 19 by jumping off a six-story building. “There are no caps on potency,” said Stack. “They’re cultivating higher and higher concentrates of THC. You literally can’t buy what you could get in the ’80s and ’90s; marijuana that mild isn’t around anymore”...

Since then, legal marijuana has been transformed into a potent and unrecognizable product.

“When I speak at parent nights at schools, most adults still think it’s like the weed we smoked when we were teens in the ’80s, [which had] between 3 to 5% THC per gram of flower,” said Laura Stack, an advocate against cannabis abuse in Colorado. “We never had today’s high-potency concentrates, vapes or edibles.”

Laura’s son Johnny was driven into acute psychosis by years of high concentrate THC usage. He believed his dorm room was bugged and that the mob was after him.According to multiple studies, for those who have ever suffered a full cannabis-induced psychotic break, the chance that, if you still keep using, you’ll eventually develop permanent schizophrenia is almost 50 percent. That’s a higher conversion rate than amphetamines, opioids or LSD.

But what really makes THC more dangerous than those other drugs, experts say, is that so few people consider it dangerous at all. “We know fentanyl is bad. We know meth is bad,” said Dr. Libby Stuyt, a recently retired addiction psychiatrist in Colorado. “We don’t know that marijuana is bad.”

THC concentrates are highly physically addictive, experts add. “It is almost impossible for people to quit,” said Stuyt.

Fairy spec house builders have learned from bitter experience to always paint the doors on new fairy houses. Otherwise, homeless fairies will just move in and start living there and not pay any rent and the next thing you know you'll have a fairy crackhouse on your hands, the place will be covered in graffiti and full of toxic trash and fairy shit and have you ever tried going to the cops and asking them to evict fairies from your fairy house? Long story short, they won't help you.

The first time I ever heard of the drug ibogaine was in 1973 in hunter Thompson's bio about the 72 election.

He wrote, falsely, that Ed muskie used it and it made him a zombie. It seemed like ayn interesting drug to me but I thought Thompson had made it up. A few years later I found that it was a real substance and does induce a zombie like trance state. (merck index)

That was also about the last time I had heard of it until yesterday:

People come and go from the house and the vehicles, neighbors say, in part to partake in the use of a potent psychedelic drug, ibogaine.

https://nypost.com/2022/10/29/pelosi-attacker-david-depape-was-psychotic-addict-estranged-from-pedophile-lover-kids/

Have we reached peak weirdness yet on this story? How can this be topped?

Was pelosi doing ibogaine? Does Nancy pelosi do ibogaine? It might account for some of her quirks.

I'll bet the safe phrase between Pelosi and DePape was "salamander fairy".

The real story about DePape is that his mind was ruined by drug use. The Dems push and promote drug use. The Dems are the party of drugs.

pacwest said...

How did DePape get in the house?
DePape's weapon of choice to bring along was a hammer?
Why would he let Pelosi take a private pee in the middle of a home break in?
Why would Pelosi describe him as a friend?

Occam's Razor: Pelosi picked up the wrong dude for some 2am delight while Nancy was away.

DePape's stepdaughter accuses him of abusing her and her siblings when they were young. She says he was also abused as a child. Long, long article here about Oxana "Gypsy" Taub from before all this. She also claims a family history of sexual abuse.

If there are pedophiles in government, maybe DePape's grievance was that he wasn't invited to join in.

Bob Boyd said...

@ Darkisland

Ibogaine is one of the substances being used in psychedelic therapy. They're claiming some impressive successes with it in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD and addictions.

Fairy houses are garden decorations. If you're still using gnomes, or elves, or trolls, the rest of the world has moved on. If you still have a lawn jockey, for the love of God, move on.

If pelosi is hanging out with kinky gay lovers, escorts services, doing ibogaine or some of the other weird speculations, that would make him subject to blackmail

Could this all be a setup, like a honeypot, by Putin's kgb?

Release the surveillance video. Release the SFPD bodycam footage. Release the 911 call and find and interview the mysterious “3rd person” who let the cops in. Then get the perpetrator’s side. THEN write a story about what most likely happened, because the “facts” as presented (perp 15 miles from home wearing only underpants?) do not add up to a believable account.

Additional advice for “journalists:” find a source other than Paul for the alleged “where’s Nancy?” and “this is MAGA country!” statements ascribed to the perp, tell us how the BLM activist got from Berkeley across the bay to Pacific Heights dressed only in underwear, or at least explain where his clothes went, and maybe try and verify any prior contact Depape and Pelosi had. That’ll get you started.

Bob,

I did look up ibogaine last night and found that it is being used in therapy for substance abuse and more. The little I read makes it sound like it might be useful. It is Schedule 1 in the US though. No legal use or availability.

Not controlled in Mexico and other countries though.

I just found it odd that in 50 years or so I do not recall running across any mention of it.

A site search for ibogaine of NY times finds 5 mentions going back to 1994.

2 in Washington post going back to 2012. One result seems to be about youtube(I could only read the headline though)

In other words, not exactly a common drug in popular culture.

It is an open secret what happened.

The incident happened at 2:30. Everyone was in their underwear except for the 3rd person involved who answered the door for the police that isn't being named.

But the leftist shitheads need justification for the violence they have committed and plan to commit.

There is a line between neutrality and playing dumb. The media is openly and obviously trying to create hatred and division. People need to stop playing along with this.

MartyH said...

The broken window shown on the Shellenberger article is not the entry point. Even if the glass is tempered, I can't see someone getting through that hole without significant abrasions.

DePape did not break the window and then reach around and open the door either. The nearer door has a lip and thus closes first. It almost assuredly does not have a lever to open it. The visible lever handle is on the opposite door, away from the window. You'd have to reach past the wall, past the nearer door, past the lever pivot, and then push the lever down. That's 5-6 feet.

So either DePape is a Chinese acrobat or that picture does not show the entry point.

San Francisco is teeming with available young gay men. Even assuming without evidence that Pelosi is gay, anyone trying to argue that "the simplest explanation" is that Pelosi went all the way to Berkeley and picked up a gibbering, unwashed, aging schizophrenic just sounds silly.

Depape's a crazy man. He got it into his head to seek out Pelosi and went to her home. He smashed a glass door with a hammer and clawed out the panes and spacers, leaving broken glass all around the outside.

Once inside, crazy man did crazy stuff. Sat down to wait for Nancy. Allowed Paul use the bathroom, where he made a call, talking in code so we not to inflame the man with the hammer if he overheard. The police coded the call as a "wellness check," because that's how San Francisco codes mental health incidents.

Police arrived and another family member let them in. Crazy man freaked out at the sight of the police, told Paul "you betrayed me" and attacked him with the hammer. Paul tried to fight him off and got badly injured.

There's your simplest story.

Bob Boyd said...

@ John

Yeah, I don't remember ever hearing of ibogaine before I listened to a podcast recently about a guy who went through a psychedelic treatment with it. He went out of the country for the treatment and he didn't say where.

If you're interested, the podcast was The Shawn Ryan Show, episode #10, interview with Marcus Capone and his wife Amber. The guy had serious TBI problems from being an explosive breacher at DEVGRU. He reported amazing results. It's a fascinating episode for many reasons.

Former SEAL and CIA operator Shawn Ryan talks about his own psychedelic therapy experience in Episode #24 and also reports tremendous benefits as a result.

Larry J said...

And to think, some people don't trust the mainstream media like the Washington Post. What could be the cause of that?

mikee said...

Peterson has to correct people because they twist his words to mean something different than what he said.

Biden has a whole administration correcting what he actually said to what the administration wants a policy.

And Mel Gibson had the cameo role of the father returning from war to his fairy-house-building daughter at the end of the movie Fairy Tale. Which raises whole molehills of cancel culture.

Tom T. said...

Ann, it's worth wondering why we're seeing so many more articles about Depape than we ever did about James Hodgkinson.

Mary Beth said...

"Where's Nancy?" is the question I would ask if I broke in, with her as the target, or if I came in on a date with Paul. Same words, different tone of voice. There has been little reporting that I have seen that makes me believe one story over another. My biggest questions come from the absence of information - no one around there has Ring or Nest doorbells that recorded DePape's approach to the house? No traffic cams or other surveillance? Does DePape have a cell phone? Was the location turned on? If so, what time does it show him arriving?

PatHMV said...

Given that Pelosi's daughter praised the guy who attacked Rand Paul, I have little sympathy here. Nobody should be violently attacked, and inflammatory political rhetoric certainly does risk inflaming the psychopathic, but Democratic leaders only care about it, and the media only reports about the risks it poses, when they have some hook they can use to blame the right.

I just ran a Google News search for "Hodgkinson" and "Pelosi." Nothing. Hodgkinson is the deranged Bernie Sanders supporter who nearly killed Steve Scalise in 2017. Unlike this DePape guy, Hodgkinson had no history of mental disturbance. When the Democrats, including Speaker Pelosi's OWN FAMILY, are willing to do a full-throated, full-stop denunciation of political violence against Republicans, and the "their literal fascists" rhetoric that the likes of AOC and others like to spew, then we can maybe get somewhere. When all the media articles about a particular attack (like this one) use ONLY examples of right-wing extremist voices and violence that may (or may not) have been influenced by right-wing rhetoric, then it's clear that they only care about attacking the right, not actually toning down inflammatory political rhetoric.

And they don't get to denounce "whataboutism" until they actually explain their own hypocrisy on the subject. Until then, this kind of rhetoric warrants your "civility bullshit" tag, Ann.

The latest is people claiming that DePape was a fan Jimmy Dore, the left-wing radio host who's appeared on Tucker Carlson. If you're looking for a missing link or gateway drug to take lunatic DePape from extreme left to extreme right, Jimmy Dore might be it. Or maybe people who hate Dore are mounting an effort to discredit him. Crazy people have something like a switch in their heads that when flipped takes them from one obsession to another.

Maynard said...

NBC reported that DePape was in the bedroom with Paul Pelosi. Pelosi went onto the bathroom where his phone was charging and called 911.

There was a third person in the house who let the police in. "Curioser and curioser", said Alice ...

Inga now probably believes that DePape was paid by Putin and Trump to have sex with Pelosi and give him a case of monkey pox.

John henry said...

What about Ed Buck?

Politically connected, wealthy Demmie in LA:

From Wikipedia:

Two African-American men, the first in 2017 and the second in 2019, were discovered dead in Buck's West Hollywood home, later to be determined as due to drug overdoses. Several reports indicated that Buck had a history of bringing African-American men to his house, where he would reportedly inject them with high doses of crystal methamphetamine for sexual gratification.[1] He plied the men with drugs and then sexually assaulted them while they were unconscious or immobile.

Could Pelosi be another? Instead of meth, using ibogaine, which has the effect of immobilizing them user. Zombiefication.

It might explain why depape was there from so far away. He has, according to the Post, access to ibogaine. He may be the dealer. Perhaps Nancy's dealer which is why he was asking for her.

Let's not hold back. Let our imaginations soar! At least till after the election.

NOTE WELL: I have no knowledge and have not even heard gossip or rumor about the above. Simply having fun exploring some possibilities, however farfetched.

I don't think octogenarians are all that horny.

Tom T. at 10:47 presents a reasonable explanation...Well, to be fair, octogenarians aren't much given to drunk driving. Lots of them don't even drive. And, of course, many octogenarians don't have the reflexes and market savvy to make tens millions of dollars with their shrew(d) (clever pun) investments....Anyway it will be interesting to see how this story develops and even more interesting to see if it fails to develop as has the Epstein case.

ConradBibby said...

The point about trans people CHOOSING to be freaks is actually a good one. I can certainly sympathize with someone who "feels" like they should have been born of the opposite sex and that they would fit into society better as a member of the opposite sex. There have probably been countless people over time who felt that way. But the normal thing to do in response to those feelings would be to accept the chromosomal hand you've been dealt and make the best of it. It's not to have your genitals amputated.

"The phenomenon of old men with lots of money going over to the gay side is not rare. Malcolm Forbes is one example. Maybe it is a cure for ED."

In the past, I've disagreed with Michael K, but respected his intelligence in presenting an opinion. This is an exception.

Over the years, I've had discussions with gay friends. "Every guy has the tendency," they'll tell me. My response after a few of these discussions: "I've been drunk to the point that my inhibitions were down. Never fu*ked a guy, never been fu*ked by a guy. Never wanted to fu*k a guy or be fu*ked by one. Like women, always have."

I remember when a friend showed me his dad's Playmate of the Year issue of Playboy. August 1967. Lisa Baker PMOY, Dee Dee Lind centerfold. That's how much that mag left an impression on me. I remember seeing those pics at 12 and thinking, "Oh, my. I like that."

You don't gave sex with men because of some sudden change. You've always leaned that way. I talked to a pastor who told me that addiction to porn gets ratcheted up to the point where guys end up looking at gay porn and getting BJs at bars. Shows you what growing up in a protected culture does: You don't realize you're being lied to. Guys look at gay porn and have gay sex because they're gay.

I know there are psychiatrists who will tell you that you can later switch sides. Keep in mind that these folks and other behavioral science professionals tell us a guy can be a woman trapped in a man's body and can bear children.

It's possible Paul Pelosi is gay. Why his wife stays married to him can be easily explained: She comes from a generation that never really discussed these things, had no reason to question his sexuality, or had other things that took up her time. Or maybe it's not so easy. But if he's gay, he was gay the day he married her and always was.

I have a better theory about that A lot of women stop having sex after menopause. Men stay horny till the day they die. It's not a preference, it becomes nearly necessity. It happens in prisons too.

"HE'S not gay; and THEREFORE.. There is NO SUCH THING, as bisexual."

Same thing applies. You don't "become" bisexual later in life.

"Men stay horny till the day they die."

But they don't remain potent, in most cases.

"They’ll all burn in hell, but nice to see that they are getting a taste of it in the here and now."

As much as you obviously relish the idea, no one will burn in Hell, given that Hell, just like Heaven, is an imaginary non-place. (And, how could disembodied spirits feel any pain if there were a Hell, souls lacking nervous systems and all?)

And Cook is back spouting off his cult rantings.

Good thing we have a first amendment and we allow these religious nuts to spout their unsubstantiated garbage.
