So documents were uncovered recently that show “Beau of the fifth column”, a breadtuber, was convicted on federal charges to 60 years in prison commutted to just 60 days. Then the government gave him back his properties, and he reappeared sometime after that as “Beau”, a fake name with a fake accent he uses to sound like a conservative blue-collar type guy.
Usually if the government hands out seized property, they need to give a reason, but they didn’t. Additionally the prosecutor did not charge crimes they could have probably charged, like assault (not battery) and possibly kidnapping.
The charges were on human trafficking, which however doesn’t mean much: the government considers that bringing people into the country under the wrong visa is human trafficking, even if you do it for selfless reasons.
It seems the reasons were not selfless though. Beau and three others formulated a plan to bring in female workers from Slovenia, Croatia, and bordering countries to the US to subcontract them as hotel staff. Temp working is of course legal and many people do it already, and I still think bringing people into a country so they can have a better life (and they consent to it) is a based thing, but what the suit doesn’t show (because they didn’t charge it) is that:
- They would house the workers and make them pay for rent, I think also preventing them from finding their own place.
- They would also bus them to work and make them pay for it, again with no other option.
- Testimonies allege verbal abuse, threats and insults to the workers who sometimes lived with up to 15 other roommates in a hotel room.
- They made the workers pay 2500$ for a visa application that usually costs up to 200$.
What got him in hot water was the visas, since they falsified the employer as the hotel instead of their company (Eurohouse). This was in 2003 up to 2007 btw.
It’s becoming clear that Beau is an FBI informant. Why else would they reduce his sentence and give him back his property? He was not on the left before, he used to write about Anonymous and that’s about it. Then he reemerges with a fake persona, a “socialist” outlook, and starts saying fed stuff like that people should not apply for a permit before a protest and the organisers should not tell this to participants (a cool way of getting everyone arrested and give them a criminal record!)
Honestly there’s nothing to salvage with “breadtube”, I can’t wait for its demise.
there was a bloody clash in the 60s that could have been entirely avoided and didn’t need to happen, and so both countries signed an accord that they would stop using weapons. At most they use sticks now.
Wildly interesting and just surprisingly… civil? A bloodbath happens and instead of escalation they go “melee weapons only from now on.” Kinda love to see it.
Just that in the West escalation is sort of seen as the only response to violence, regardless of how much it’ll cost.
