Fergie Chambers is heir to one of the biggest American family fortunes. He’s also a revolutionary with ‘actual bloodlust’ building a mysterious commune in Massachusetts. His neighbors are scared.
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Money is power. What we have is a useful idiot with power. The good news is that, being a good Marxist, he will do nothing to maintain/grow his wealth. Eventually it will be gone, as will he. The bad news is that it is a lot of money and he will do a lot of damage on his way out.
You know, one thing the founders and constitution signers learned from the history of monarchies is that you never know when one individual with too much power will be an idiot.
This bombastic fake revolutionary bully will blow thru that money like a mega millions lottery winner. His hangers on, who likely have no real ideology, but enjoy the free ride, will be gone when the dollars dry up. Let’s hope the community hangs on until then, without a major, dangerous confrontation. This guy will do ANYTHING to bring attention to himself...he doesn’t give a shithole about the masses.
Sorry, no one will pay a penny for this loser. His family basically disowns him. Seems they wouldn’t mind if he suicided before he did any real damage.
When I started reading this story I began rolling my eyes at yet another example of far too much money ending up in the most idiotic of undeserving hands. Calling this jerk an imbecile would be charitable. I was pissed off that the FP spent the time chronicling another lonely dystopian journey from an obscenely wealthy kid who knows nothing, has built nothing, has no moral center, and basically, buys off his acolytes to join his latest myopic crusade. I thought it was a waste of time and why bother.
As the article continued though, as the results of his influence are starting to show up in the increasing arrests, with more I'm sure to follow, I couldn't help but think of the name of one man and the beginnings of his cult influence: Charles Manson.
I thought of Che Guevara and Bin Laden, who both came from wealthy families. And Sam Bank Friedman. They all think it's okay to harm others, as they are on the site of righteousness. That's what's so dangerous with this CRT and oppressor/oppressed worldview. It gives every psychopath a sense of righteousness to do evil.
Read the article...The family bought him out. for north of a quarter billion dollars.
The question remains, how long can he keep the value of his holdings worth anything? My guess is that he may see them shrink markedly the way he is throwing money into non-productive assets.
I did read the article. There's nothing that seems to imply that his father's shares in the trust could not be inherited by him - unless the trust specifically precludes this, and/or his father cuts him out of his will
Please re-read the part in the text that deals with the separation settlement.
The agreement is a buy-out, and buy-outs mean that one party is trading future claims for consideration now. In this case, the consideration was a hefty quarter of a billion dollars. for Junior to forgo any current and future interest in the assets or any profits.
Arguably, the father has done more damage than the son, with the academics he has funded, who have then spread evil ideas into the culture. Less obvious than the son, but possibly more insidious.
On the contrary, he's very useful to all the other idiots that want to destroy the country that allows them to run around splashing red paint on things and, lately celebrating the decapitation of babies, gang rape, and burning defenseless civilians alive.
Not sure that the idiots he is associating with are getting any long-term benefits out of the largess. Criminal records have the tendency of being quite sticky.
It sounds like an example of something that has long been an aspect of the history of capitalist enterprise. Dynamic entrepreneurs make huge fortunes....the following generations of their family become more and more decadent and useless. It was a not uncommon story of the desendents of Britain and America's 19th c. 'muck-and-brass' tycoons.
It's the face tattoo that does it for me. Nothing says I can't wait to be identified in a police lineup and spend time in prison more than a nice face tattoo. Ask that idiot rapper who has 69 in his stage name.
Me too. Years ago when lawyers received paper discovery in criminal cases the booking sheet had a section for "scars, marks, tattoos, brands and other identifying marks".
I suspect he gets it all from his dad. He just took dad's ideology more seriously. Dad's money probably does more insidious harm. Grandpa should have taken the Buffet pledge. Leave them rich enough for food, shelter, drugs and such...but not enough to cause real harm to others.
Self loathing neurotic basket cases are common. They are simply able to do a lot more damage to the working poor and disenfranchised when they are rich.
The irony--it would be funny but for the very real suffering involved--is that all these sorts of people don't know the first effing thing about the working poor, and their politics ALWAYS makes the lives of such people worse.
But as I've pointed out many times, none of this is about building. It is about destruction. The "workers" and the poor are simply the alibi, the rationalization, for projects that consist in nothing but omnidirectional and indifferent hatred and rage.
Pondering this a bit, it seems to me that people of this sort--and he is a type, who would likely be glad to be compared to rich kid Friedrich Engels--are really just engaging in a form of CosPlay. It is a masked ball, where they get to play the edgy heroes rescuing the downtrodden when NO ONE ELSE WILL. It's up to them. The clock is ticking. What will happen? Stay tuned and see.
But they forget it's a stupid game. They need their delusions to be real, so no matter how cruel the real world is to them--no matter how many reports they get of starvation and heinous crimes, no matter how barbarous their own thugs are--they resolutely persist in their fantasies. Iron Man is REAL, you see. So is Spiderman. Because it would just be too cruel a universe to survive if they weren't.
And you know a kid like this has done all the drugs, probably flirted with suicide, and come up with turning the world into his own personal theater--at least from his own perspective--as the solution to what to do with a life that doesn't need work to get by, and lacks the maturity to do anything genuinely creative or interesting. You tattoo mass murderers on your arm, and worry about flooded tents. Fuck it: that IS comical. His theater is that of the sadistic absurd. It's ludicrous. Risible. When he is not engaging in empty gestures he is helping support the destruction of good jobs in this country, making the poor more poor, probably being supported by the elites who use him for their own purposes, and generally wandering around like the lost child we can assume he is.
If I traded lives with him, I would know what to do with that money. But that is because I have worked elbow to elbow with normal people all my life ,and come from the working poor.
Exactly! He is the definition of “champagne socialist” and it just takes too much work and effort to truly understand what working class people might need the most in various industries. The best bosses I ever had in my career were the ones who had risen through the ranks and who knew exactly what was involved in the work of their subordinates because they had done it themselves. They knew how much time was involved in a job, they understood paying the rent, the need to give people challenges and rewards, etc. - in a healthy productive way. Some of the worst bosses I ever had were dazzlingly impressive resumes who were parachuted in to the company and had no clue what we did, how long it took or what was involved or what would actually help us the most. This guy is that type of useless - moneyed, with big ideas but no serious, hard experience in building anything intelligent or productive. Pathetic.
I see single mothers on our local Facebook group asking for help with getting a cheap car and keeping it running, getting clothes and food for their kids. And this idiot shreds money. The poor guy can't figure out how to be useful.
Because it is relevant to me personally, my metric is: have you ever been so broke you've given blood for money? I have. I don't recommend it, but at the time I couldn't figure out any other way to pay the rent.
Anyone who claims they want to help that level of people should spend a lot of time with them. None of these left wing nut jobs do. Marx didn't. Lenin didn't. They need the symbol of the "oppressed" to emotionally fund their violence, but retribution is the main goal, not the gradual improvements that are the only sort that last and can be generalized.
I used to buy a lottery ticket now and then, when the prize got big. Now I'm a bit slower to do so. I don't think I have the required integrity to oversee the collective volume of pain embodied by a hundred million dollars. Not only the pain of people who bought tickets instead of diapers (real necessities), but the pain it would inflict on my near relatives whether or not I dole it out or send it all to charity. It would be like being the overseer of an atomic bomb. So I have some sympathy for a guy who is lost and can't figure how to get out. Maybe this guy knows he's a leaky bucket and sees that as his default level of "giving back" Hopefully he will be as inept at the violence part.
The left is unique; the rich at the turn of the 20th Century were just crazy with their luxury and didn't care much for society. Carnegie, Rockefeller, and others felt compelled to do things with cash. But in the end, in most of these communist regimes, it's a great way to be powerful and wealthy at the same time. The richest people in Venezuela are still the Chavez family? But the right needs to have some movement to promote the spirit of the Gospel of Wealth; we are in a battle of ideals, and too often, we leave the playing field to radical leftists.
It doesn't help that the Republican party turned its back on small businesses in America. From embracing globalism and abandoning trust-busting, the Rs are just as culpable as the Ds in ruining the American Dream. Between the Dems over-regulation of work rules and tax law and embrace of open borders and China in the WTO and the Repubs whoring for corporate cash and "rates of return," small business ownership and continuation is increasingly unviable in the USA.
You forgot to mention the Democrats “whoring for corporate cash” which is legion at this point. Democrats destroyed thousands of mom and pop businesses during Covid while allowing Walmart and strip clubs to stay open (hey, it’s science!).
Oh yeah. Case in point, the teachers union.. Despite the Dems constantly virtue signaling about the poor and working class, they were okay with closing public schools for huge tracts of time. Meanwhile, of course, it was somehow safe for Newsom and others to take their kids to open private schools. Studies on the really disturbing, possibly life long effects of this policy are now emerging.
That is a great point, there is nothing closer to the ideal of the Yeoman farmer than a small business owner. People who care about their community, customers, and employees. The bigger they are the less they care.
R's are culpable to the extent they act like Democrats, which is often. It is what the left wing media has done its best to demand of them, by punishing common sense and plain honest speech wherever possible.
But while there are RINO's, there are no DINO's. We have sufficiently clear beliefs that it is not hard to note where our representatives fall short. Most Democrats, in contrast, need to read the news to know what their views are, and if they can't change them often and quickly, they get left behind and cancelled.
The T-Elephant in the room happens to be one of these inherited wealth guys who spends a lot of time making "deals" and throwing people under the bus. When there was a "deal" in 2016 and he actually stuck to it I was pleasantly surprised. But since about mid-year 2020 he has been on an unhinged rant. He's more about hate-the-other-rich-people than he is about helping people who need help, or even just running the works in a smooth and effective way. I won't vote for him. I just won't. I'll write in my neighbor before I vote for either of the current poll toppers. Call me a RINO... do they make hats with that logo?
The election was stolen and the prosecutions against him--and the J6 protesters--are purely political. The FBI plays politics, and given that we know it has dirt on Joe Biden that would easily put him in jail along with his son and probably several other relatives, should we not assume the worst as far as who is actually running the country?
Durham charged two people of lying to the FBI to keep the Russiagate thing going. They were acquitted, because the FBI KNEW AT THE OUTSET the allegations were lies.
If that doesn't bother you, you got a problem, son.
You are wrong right out of the gate. the election wasn't stolen, it was given away. Trump didn't even campaign. When real statesmanship was called for, he checked out. Yes there is a swamp, and it does bother me.
I agree to an extent. I think Dave Chappelle nailed him. But I also think any rational person would be "unhinged" if the full force of the executive agencies were marshaled against the person. Which begs the question, why the martialing of the assets? And every time I read a link provided by a Trump hater to justify their position I do not draw the same conclusion they do. I also read the last "damning indictment" and fail to understand how seeking legal advice amounts to a conspiracy to overthrow the government. Here's a flash - you do not use lawyers to stage a coup. You use lawyers to operate within the system. (Or to rebuild after a coup as in "[S]end money, guns and lawyers.".) Lastly, I am far, far, far more concerned about to whom.Biden owes allegiance than I am about any social media rant. It seems to a no-brainer to me.
The "T-Elephant" was for detaching the US from all the globalist institutions, like the WHO, who want to control our lives, like the nut in this article. Ask Dr Drew interviewed Seamus Bruner https://drdrew.com/2023/exposed-connecting-epstein-gates-the-global-health-investment-fund-w-seamus-bruner-dr-kelly-victory-ask-dr-drew/ The people in his book don't just want to take over MA, but the whole world. They will use fear and control and the US will be free no more. I am not sure who is brave enough to stand up to these bullies who think they are God.
There are no Republicans, Democrats, Communists or Capitalists. Only the loose world wide affiliation of a powerful wealthy super elite and whatever agenda they are attempting to inflict on the world at the moment. Inside the American Constitutional Republic, avaricious wealth, through its capture, and the willing venality of American elected political leadership, continues "the greatest upward transfer of wealth in human history." Its purely opportunistic philosophy of "more", and the necessary exercise of power to maintain control of populations, requires the creation of a mercenary class of sycophantic poseurs (useful idiots), to exploit an extremist ideology, that will prevent, and scream over the top of, the human moral reason, that would create the healthy national dialogue, and necessary vision for a viable human future. Again, it is not political it is purely pathological. Entire nations can go mad. The 20th Century was a testament to the millions murdered and buried in the grave of the ideal.
Today's TFP offering on Mr. Chambers, wealth, the Communist Party and the fear of further organized mob violence: No one speaks of the Wall Street and European criminal financiers who bank rolled Lenin and Trotsky and funded the criminal gangs and violence inside Russia that brought down the Czar, enslaved the Russian people, and looted the national economy. (At that time the Czar was one of the richest men in the world.) Sound familiar? Solzhenitsyn said on numerous occasions that the leaders of the Communist revolution hated the Russian people and gladly destroyed their lives at every opportunity,
LEARNED HELPLESSNESS: A phenomenon observed in both humans and other animals when they have been conditioned to expect pain, suffering, or discomfort without a way to escape. (Hopeless much?)
Depression, anxiety, suicide, addiction and self-mutilation are the direct consequence of living inside a manufactured hyperrealistic LIE that turns the natural life force and agency of the individual against himself. And, more importantly, for our shared purpose here, actively works to silence his/her ability to speak about what is happening to him. Last weeks second Congressional Twitter File hearing confirms that reality.
Continue to ignore the man behind the cyber curtain at your own peril. Against all moral human reason and in violation of every tenet of personal privacy and the American Constitution you have been numbered, commodified, scrutinized and labeled. The cyber slave ascends and the battered and confused citizen of the Republic lies down. Want proof? Spend a half hour with Shoshanna Zuboff. Then add the revelations of the Twitter File investigation and the marriage of Googleland tech billionaires and the captured, weaponized and compromised DNC surveillance state CIC bureaucracy.
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! The American Constitutional Republic, the citizen, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights it contains, is the only voice of human moral reason, and the only engine of human survival!!
I agree. But I trace it beck to Bush I's resounding defeat when it really was the economy stupid. It is almost as if instead of rebounding, the surrendered.
Confused, THC syndrome and multiple drug abuse syndrome. Word salad for brains because of it. Little guy napoleon as well, probably. Dedicated to ..., come on kid! Islam allied with Hitler in WW2 and is absolutely dedicated to destroying communism to this day.
Nope. Not actually expecting Fergie to either. But just thinking we should start calling out all these wealthy communists on their hypocrisy. Make them live by words. If they really are about communism and for the working class, demand they lead the revolution by example, demand they start by giving up their own wealth to share with others.
They won’t do it, and hopefully the ignorant youth will start to wake up to the hypocrisy and bullsh*t and stop getting recruited by these psychos.
It's super funny to me that he's this giant Marxist who moves to New Hampshire for its conservative gun and tax laws. You want your money to go to causes that are important to you and not to the government? Where have I heard this before? :|
Beware the organizations who are supporting the "common good" ...I am sure the CCCP or the Peoples Republic would claim they do that....or even if you start your own Foundation it is likely to get subverted by the left wing authoritarians
The daughter actually has a job, so -- though she spouts his ideas -- there may be hope that she learns better from her working-class colleagues. Fergie took his dad's ideas seriously. I pray his daughter learns better, before she has exhausted her trust fund.
We can only hope. Look at Soros's kids. They unfortunately believe his vitriol and will probably continue it after he dies and I hope he dies his natural death soon.
Sorry T took nothing home on this one, am grateful Fergie is not in my town. Not saying I don’t have crap where I live but nothing as bad as this group.
It was initially unclear why Suzi Weiss would spend 1 second indulging this duchebag cliche, until it became clear how anti-Semitic he is. The objective of this ridiculous article is to sound the alarm against this type of idiot.
However TM why give him time on his anti semitism. We don’t have to look much further than college campuses and their respective presidents. This wacko was incidental, Suzi knows as well as all of us “we have bigger fish to fry” we need to expose the foreign money from Qatar, we need to get rid of these rabid anti Semitic professors and students who are a cancer at our universities - we have a job to do Suzi needs to focus on the above not on Fergie🇺🇸🇺🇸
Suzi's weapons against this Anti-Semitic baby-trapped-in-a-man's-tattooed-body are all these horrifying details. Every word is meant to show what an ass he is. And, he's so stupid that he didn't realize that Suzi Weiss was Jewish, and, therefore, likely pro-Israel.
I think it's a brilliant piece of journalism. I went to school for that myself, and when you think what a tightrope she had to walk with this interview to get Chambers' cooperation and trust. It's challenging to interview a subject loathsome to many readers. You can't come across as too hard or too easy on them. So she let him dig his own hole, just by reporting facts like the coffee machine and letting him do all the talking.
Another thing it seems he didn't do his homework on is the nature of The Free Press. Wouldn't he think it a capitalist, Zionist, colonialist rag? Or his he such a narcissist he just wants his name out there no matter what?
No real Marxist revolutionary would be concerned about $50 tent mats or flooded tents. It just comes with the territory of hard sacrifice for the cause. This guy is just a jerk.
First off, I'm pretty sure my mom taught me to never listen to or trust guys who have face tattoos named 'Fergie'
"We need to make all of white America afraid that everything they have stolen is going to be burned to the ground" says the guy sporting the Red Sox cap.....ya know.....that awesome major league baseball team that's been owned by 15 different wealthy white men since 1901.
Also equally idiotic: "Fergie himself has claimed that he’s 'not a big gun guy'." Two minutes later - “I’ve always been into self-defense, and I was always kind of into guns”
I don't know about you, but Fergie Chambers and the Berkshire Communists group sounds a little bit like Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple 2.0. Nothing like cleaning up 1,000 corpses to prove you have the answer to all the worlds problems.
Finally, if I'm a betting man, I'd say there's about a 101% chance that this dude and his group are up to their tattooed necks in some weird sex based sh*t. Anyone interested in laying odds on that?
Bill Ayers, 70s domestic terrorist, Weather Underground, was the son of a CEO of a big corporation in Chicago. When he figured out blowing up buildings wasn’t effective, he decided to go into education and brainwash kids. And befriend the Obamas.
Bill Ayers did not have a sexual relationship with Barack Hussein Obama, Maureen. And it’s wrong of you to suggest that. I’m cancelling my subscription.
I’ve read a fair bit about Manson, and I don’t think “Fergie” is comparable.
Manson’s cult had a supposedly political component (i.e., the “Helter Skelter” race war, where -- in Manson’s fantasy -- blacks would rise up and take over, but wouldn’t be capable of running things, so they would call on Charlie to come out of the mystical cave in Death Valley to run the country for them [he was a stunning racist!]).
But Charlie was not really politically motivated...what he wanted was POWER over others and adulation and sex with teenaged girls (his favorite age was 13-14, see Ouish and Snake). Manson had a long history of manipulating others to do what he wanted; even in elementary school, he had a group of girls beat up a boy he didn’t like on his behalf(!) -- perfect foreshadowing. He used drugs himself, but often deployed them as a means of controlling his followers. Manson was largely devoid of guilt (he came from a poor background, with an absent biological father and a strict stepfather, and was often a discipline problem from an early age). Basically, Charlie was extraordinarily high in the “dark triad” traits, and not averse to violence, especially when carried out by others as a show of fealty.
This dude Fergie scares me more, in some ways. Imagine being so riddled with guilt, that you turn your anger and self loathing into a rage against society. Now imagine that you have enough money to influence others to join you in your rage; enough money to form a kind of army. Imagine that your brain has been severely affected by drugs over a period of many years, and that you suffer from paranoid delusions, but you’re so rich no one ever contradicts you.
Manson was never going to achieve Helter Skelter, and his cult never grew beyond a couple of dozen people. They were always broke and scrounging for money, dumpster diving and living rent free in richer peoples’ homes (old man Spahn, Dennis Wilson). The horror of the Manson murders must not be forgotten -- it was essentially the “dark side” of the hippie culture -- and it helped bring that era to an end, but it never spread to university campuses, MSM, the State Department, etc. This dude Fergie, is using considerable resources ($$$ and power/influence) to nudge this nation towards a system he doesn’t understand. That, to me, is what’s so chilling.
If the FBI was not completely corrupt, they would be on this dude 24/7/365. He’s like a combination of the Unabomber (with friends, one-third the IQ, and f*ck-wads of money); SDS/Weather Underground (recruiting at universities, but much better funded).
Of all the scary stuff I’ve been reading about lately, this is one of the most terrifying. Quietly terrifying.
"Of all the scary stuff I’ve been reading about lately, this is one of the most terrifying. Quietly terrifying." I agree... but - when you say "If the FBI was not completely corrupt" you hit on what is even more scary to me than this man - and that is our already corrupt institutions. He feeds into an existing problem.
Here I want to cut and paste from a brilliant comment on Friday's PITT (which is about a 15 year old girl who has been kidnapped from mom by the state of Oregon over Gender Identity). I hope the commenter doesn't mind.
"Great question. What is the endgame? Socialism and power, I think. Control. In my research I have found that the point is to create societal chaos intentionally. The more chaos the better. Open the borders, don't prosecute crime or enforce laws, change the meaning of words, encourage educated suburban Mom's in safe neighborhoods to scream to defund the police so that people and businesses actually living in inner cities suffer from more crime, remove education standards to graduate from school because that is only fair in Baltimore and Oregon (and kids actually cannot read and do math), etc. Then socialists and marxist activists come in with the "cure", the "fix", the "solution". They take control and take the power from the people. They want power. Authoritarianism. And that usually involves the populace ceding some of their freedoms in the name of the "greater good"... To be kind, to avoid so called Disinformation and speech they do not like. Words are violence, we are to believe. We must give up some freedom to feel safe. No big deal. Afterall, no one thought it was a big deal in the 1930's when the Nazi's made the Jews wear a star, or close their shops on certain days of the week. It's not THAT big of a deal, they said. No one spoke up. (Referencing the book by Erik Larson, In the Garden of Beasts). They take baby steps. Little freedoms removed one at a time. The frog doesn't know he is boiling if you warm the water slowly. So we Allow Obama to change Title Nine to allow men to compete in womens' sports - to be kind, it's not a big deal, So we let men in womens' safe and private spaces, to be kind, So we let California keep our runaway kids and call the parents abusers, to save the children who clearly are of sound mind, So we let schools make policies to keep secrets from parents and place conversion therapy bans on mental health professionals, So we let people police our speech with pronouns and allow them to accuse us of "WRONG THINK". Everyone should go back and read Orwell's 1984. The parallels are uncanny. The endgame is chaos, so "they" can come in and save the day by taking away freedoms and "changing" the country. Everyone assumes "change" is good. Does anyone ask, "What is the change we need?"" From https://pitt.substack.com/p/oregons-state-assistance-encouraged
The progressive movement is stunningly racist ... if you're able to see the underlying framework.
The entirety of CRT is racist. Once you clear away the word salad, CRT is the theory that POC are less capable than non-POC. Every awful bit of Intersectionality, whence deconstructed elucidates the horrific thought that POC are less capable, hence need uplifting even on a level playing field.
It's interesting that you say Fergie is more terrifying than Manson (Fergie probably just jerked off reading your comment). He's the dark triad of the Progressive movement come to life. It's a shame for MA voters that they released this Kraken. You might be on to something.
I just came across this article on Manson’s "accelerationism" (which Psychology Today ABSURDLY attributes to “right wing extremism” — when we’ve all watched the left’s "accelerationism" play out in real time from the Cloward-Piven strategy of the ‘60s to the more recent George Floyd riots and the pro-Palestinian “demonstrations”, gender theory, the attacks on the nuclear family, the Manson-like push towards a race war, etc.)
Funny you mention Manson.....that's who I thought of first but then figured Manson didn't pile up enough bodies in relation to the potential this clown has.
My first thought too. Then I thought he's just George Soros, but in need of etiquette lessons. Strangely, this kid actually makes his point very effectively. The kind of capitalism that exists in the US is really more akin to plutocracy than a free market economy. The kid, his whole family, and most of the billionaire class are different only in degree, and really do hate us middle class chumps, we deplorables. If they take our culture down in flames, all the better by their measure. And we won't be able to stop them by making our paltry $100 contribution to our favored candidates.
Great minds think alike. Many old cults have resurrected in modern movements. BLM/Antifa is the new Jim Jones, Manson family is trans grooming, Heaven's Gate is climate alarmism/ESG, and Buddhafield is Faucism: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-become-a-cult-leader
This nutbag is right down the road from a few hundred brilliant, highly impressionable, emotionally unstable teenagers. He's already pulling them into his "hate the Jews for Communism" cult. There is no way this doesn't end with violence. Expect a Berkshires pogrom if not a bombing campaign.
Then, in my mind, they are not brilliant. There are tons of places to find answers to what is lacking in your life. Following a rich dude with a face tattoo over all of the other charismatic people tells me someone is not very smart
Trash comes in many colors, social classes, and political stripes.
I love New England, and have been trying to find a house there -- somewhere -- but Brooklyn's got the devils I know.
Today a derelict Black guy took a dump on my Flatbush sidewalk. Wouldn't stop no matter how loud I hollered. He's not hate-filled, like our Fergie here, just dysfunctional and aggressive.
(Although what he yelled at me as he moved away revealed I'd say some real animosity.)
I cleaned it up as best as I could now that I've put away the watering hoses and drained the outdoor pipes for the winter, but all the Clorox in the world can't erase the stench.
Hey, it's what I've got: drug-addled, incontinent derelicts. Better than insane aggressive "communists" with millions to put into -- who knows? Antisocial stuff as a possibility is probably an inadequate description.
Imagine: right down the road from me; or just across the meadow or the creek from me.
Or just beyond the tree-line. Brrr. Guess I'll stay where I am.
If this clown ever gets the stones, he’ll be in for a rude awakening. As a wise poet once said, “Now you wanna run around talking 'bout guns like I ain't got none. What, you think I sold 'em all?”
It occurred to me as I was reading this that NH is also home to the Free State Project: lots of well-armed libertarians. Methinks that this guy may very well "find out."
Tucker Carlson was on the All-in podcast recently and talked about this very thing. Very interesting. When people get too rich, too easily, too fast, they self-loathe and become destructive. In the past super rich people like Carnegie used their wealth to build libraries and concert halls. But Carnegie started from nothing.
Funny how this commie in his commune is not self sufficient, out farming, raising dairy cows and chickens. That would require work. This guy wants to punish himself and take others down with him. Maybe people should refuse to sell anything to him. No food, no supplies, nothing.
like George Soro's These idiot are a big threat to civil society. No concept of where his resource and wealth came form it sure as heck was not communisms.
But, George Soros is Jewish. With any luck, this might turn into a Jason and the Argonauts situation: hopefully, Soros and this guy can spend all their money fighting each other. Problem solved.
He's an anti US "warmongering" POS. I see Tuck doing a very limited sit down w the scumbag, maybe with Glennie greenwald and the Colonel Klink, to whine about all the "warmongering"
Too much warmongering? How about a toxic masculinity sit down with Tuck, toughie commie boy Fergie , Islamist manly man role model Andrew Tate, famed military strategist Colonel Klink Mcgregor, conservative hero Ye with his latest blonde sex kitten wife, and Glennie' G's hubby?
One can only hope for the 14 yr. old, although the author’s observation of her “neck full of hickies” is unsettling--as it should be for any father. But I suppose Fergie has more pressing issues to attend to.
This guy is exactly that which the Powers that Be accuse anyone to the right of Mao of being. The good news (yeeesh!) is that this munificent boil is festering in plain sight because it is protected by the present definition of Correctness.
I am sorry but $250 million is nothing in todays world.
Honestly I am not worried about this kid, he is just lost as many of his generation are.
If you honestly want to write about someone who is a Billionaire (with capital B), then please write about Alexander Soros, son and heir of George Soros. He runs Open Society Foundations that has funded many of "progressive" District attorneys, that have ruined American cities.
Thus please dont write about some dreamers that wear T-Shirts with Che Guevara, but please write about people who have immense power, and actually use it to shape America to how they see fit.
I agree with the premise of your point, but this idiot can still do a lot of damage. He's obviously not a finesse actor, so the damage he inflicts will be of a different sort than what Alexander Soros spins up and funds. But still, I would not want to live anywhere near Commissar Asshat's "commune."
Behold, though, the characteristics of that part of the country. Although rather understated, it is the sort of place that has embraced what's coming, having never thought that it would actually come for them. (As always, the Little People will take it in the chin.)
You said it! I lived in deep blue Massa2shits (Kerry and Warren) for 60+ years and shitbags like Ferby are a dime a dozen. What separates this puckered sphincter from the others is that he has two nickels to rub together.
Agreed. His pro Palestine, anti Zionist beliefs are the reason he was featured in post 10/7 TFP. The man is just another confused wannabe with money cashing in on the attention this article affords him.
I happen to live relatively close to this commune. I'm grateful to thefp.com for putting him on my radar screen today. He seems pretty real to me, if his henchmen can walk into my community anytime they want and wage a pogrom.
It sounds like the town doesn't have a police force and the surrounding areas probably defunded their police forces, or voted in a liberal D.A. Bummer.
Can we talk about George Soros for a minute? How is he going to handle the pro-Hamas bullshit that his Progressive policies have nurtured and developed? Maybe Bari should interview Alexander Soros? Maybe Fergie and Alexander (two hateful creatures) can share a yurt at Burning Man this summer and think up a Fresh New Hell for the rest of us. Another pandemic perhaps?
He sounds like the losers of the Red Brigade and Bader Meinhof from the 70s. Overindulged sociopathic rich kids with no morals who decided that it was chic to try to destroy western values.
Oh and if he was such a communist why does he keep his money? Why doesn't he give it all away to organizations that help those in need or create one himself, and actually do some good ? Of course he doesn't. Because he is full of crap.
“The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money” (Thatcher) - I hope he runs out of his late parents money before he does more damage.
Money and gasoline have a lot in common. In the gas tank of a tractor it can plant a field and harvest a crop. Carelessly handled it vaporizes, blows up and destroys everything around it.
When privilege, unearned wealth, low IQ, self-hate, and psychotic mental illness combine in one pathetic freak of nature, you get dear little Fergie. Thank you Free Press for finding this icon of the globalist monsters who actually believe they alone should determine how the rest of us live our lives.
I thought the same thing. But it's such an infantile world. ONline and now offline bullying was started by teenagers. That generation has grown up into idiotic teenagers
This isn’t what *everyone* does when you tell them rich people got rich by stealing. It’s just what most people do. Now we probably need to figure out how many people we have told that rich people got rich by stealing..………oope turns out we told everyone that.
I love how it’s not dawning on anyone that the blood libel against whites, about their disproportionate representation in high positions indicating a nefarious scheme that must be destroyed, is the exact same as what the Nazis said about Jews.
That's the revolver cartridge? I was thinking the Tokarev round. Which is actually a 7.62 and not 7.65 as I posted. Today it might be a 9.1x18 or the 9x21. Parsing detail aside the point being he wouldn't be consuming
90% of the progressive community that he resides in says nothing, because they also have a bright shiny crow's collection of political and moral philosophies. This is the crowd that buys the expensive and "artistic" Mao bust to put on their designer coffee maker but don't read Mao's essays.
If I understand correctly, this guy cashed out of his family's investments? And now he's spending money, but not earning any more? Evidently no one ever explained to him that you can't just keep spending money when there's no income?
This guy sounds scary now, but he'll become even more dangerous when his funds start running low. Once he can no longer make problems go away with money, his violent rhetoric will become his only way out.
His money was held in a Trust, which was regulated, and money was distributed to him based on the terms of the Trust. The rest of the family wanted nothing to do with him, so they bought him out of the Trust, effectively handing him a lump of cash that would have otherwise been distributed over the course of many years.
Now he's on his own, with no guidance from his family. One can only hope that he will follow the path of so many lottery winners and lose it all by virtue of being an absolute simpleton.
The rest of the money, per the article, will be paid out over 14 yrs. There's always the chance that one day, he'll be so stoned that he'll trip, fall, hit his head, and soon after, die.
If you put $150 million in a high yield savings account (not sure why someone would, but if they did), you've still got $7 million a year in interest coming in. I don't think I could spend $7 million a year if I tried, except maybe the first year buying an amazing house. You're right in what you said, but it's going to take him a LONG time to run out of money.
I'm not sure this guy is bright enough to have put his money into any kind of savings account. And while *you* might not be able to spend $7 million a year, if this guy keeps giving money away to anyone he thinks deserves it, it adds up fast.
Most big lottery winners end up more broke than they were to start with after 5 years.
For all of Fergie's bravado and craziness, there is going to be another person or persons crazier and angrier. Intersectionality of crazy can like karma be a nightmare.
There are probably very shrewd plans to re-absorb the money back into the family's heritage in case Fergie passes away before the money is all spent.
I read a very sad story about a grandfather who won the lottery. He thought he was helping his granddaughter by supporting her so she didn't have to work in a restaurant. The problem is, he thought she'd find an interest or passion to pursue but she didn't do ANYTHING but sit around all day. She got bored and started using drugs (not saying boredom causes people to use drugs but perpetual boredom and having no purpose in life doesn't help), eventually dying of an overdose.
You’d be correct if he also wasn’t a certified lunatic. It would be the height of hypocrisy to invest in a CD after taking a 70% loss on a sure bet inheritance and an obliteration of his anti/ capitalist angst. This guy will lose his money in a relatively short time. He just needs to meet the right grifter.
Wouldn’t investing in the financial industry make him part of the capitalist rot in white America he rails about?
If true to his beliefs he will mete out his enormous wealth to comrades and subsist on proceeds from handmade trinkets and produce grown on his organic farmland.
I believe I read where there are as many grains of sand as on a Caribbean beach of parasites clung to his bank account. The description of his fourteen year old daughter is indicative of millions draining as I type. It won't take so long. Additionally someone close to him might not like a reply to a request.
There is nothing that infuriates me more than rich & spoiled communists that don’t realize they are rich thanks to capitalism. What a waste of his family’s legacy and hard work - I am sure his ancestors are rolling in their grave.
This article should be shown to everyone multimillionaire with children so they can adjust their wills. Seriously stop giving your kids money they don’t deserve.
"I am going to give all my money to causes that support the common good"... Said no rich leftist with mom-and-dad-issues ever.
This guy has turned his hate of himself into the hate of others...
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Money is power. What we have is a useful idiot with power. The good news is that, being a good Marxist, he will do nothing to maintain/grow his wealth. Eventually it will be gone, as will he. The bad news is that it is a lot of money and he will do a lot of damage on his way out.
You know, one thing the founders and constitution signers learned from the history of monarchies is that you never know when one individual with too much power will be an idiot.
Sadly, it would appear that, based on current event, democracies are not immune from the same fate.
The successful democracies can survive an idiot leader...
Once we are rid of Biden, the recovery can begin, although the damage done has been severe and the reconstruction may take some time.
Biden is a mere figurehead. there is a whole cabal behind him, headed by Obama. They aren't going anywhere.
This bombastic fake revolutionary bully will blow thru that money like a mega millions lottery winner. His hangers on, who likely have no real ideology, but enjoy the free ride, will be gone when the dollars dry up. Let’s hope the community hangs on until then, without a major, dangerous confrontation. This guy will do ANYTHING to bring attention to himself...he doesn’t give a shithole about the masses.
Wait til his acolytes realize his parents net worth and take this idiot hostage and demand ransom.
Ransom of Red Chief comes to mind
Love O. Henry 😃
Or remember the ‘80’s film “Ruthless People”?? 😂
Hope springs….
Sorry, no one will pay a penny for this loser. His family basically disowns him. Seems they wouldn’t mind if he suicided before he did any real damage.
Agreed. They want him gone.
Along the same lines: trade the life of one Marxist trust fund narco-psycho for the chairman of Bard College. Seems about right.
We need a good SLA kidnapping to distract
Praying for that to happen.
When I started reading this story I began rolling my eyes at yet another example of far too much money ending up in the most idiotic of undeserving hands. Calling this jerk an imbecile would be charitable. I was pissed off that the FP spent the time chronicling another lonely dystopian journey from an obscenely wealthy kid who knows nothing, has built nothing, has no moral center, and basically, buys off his acolytes to join his latest myopic crusade. I thought it was a waste of time and why bother.
As the article continued though, as the results of his influence are starting to show up in the increasing arrests, with more I'm sure to follow, I couldn't help but think of the name of one man and the beginnings of his cult influence: Charles Manson.
I thought of Che Guevara and Bin Laden, who both came from wealthy families. And Sam Bank Friedman. They all think it's okay to harm others, as they are on the site of righteousness. That's what's so dangerous with this CRT and oppressor/oppressed worldview. It gives every psychopath a sense of righteousness to do evil.
Exactly. Imagine Manson with a quarter of a billion dollars. Or Jim Jones or David Koresh. It won't end well.
you know he will inherit his father's wealth at some point, right? He's a sociopath and will wreak havoc until he's stopped
They cut him loose so let's hope his dad has the sense to make sure he is forever written out of the Will.
Read the article...The family bought him out. for north of a quarter billion dollars.
The question remains, how long can he keep the value of his holdings worth anything? My guess is that he may see them shrink markedly the way he is throwing money into non-productive assets.
I did read the article. There's nothing that seems to imply that his father's shares in the trust could not be inherited by him - unless the trust specifically precludes this, and/or his father cuts him out of his will
Please re-read the part in the text that deals with the separation settlement.
The agreement is a buy-out, and buy-outs mean that one party is trading future claims for consideration now. In this case, the consideration was a hefty quarter of a billion dollars. for Junior to forgo any current and future interest in the assets or any profits.
sadly..that amount of money is difficult to piss thru
Arguably, the father has done more damage than the son, with the academics he has funded, who have then spread evil ideas into the culture. Less obvious than the son, but possibly more insidious.
I doubt that Fergie is a USEFUL idiot. Just plain idiot sums him to a tee.
On the contrary, he's very useful to all the other idiots that want to destroy the country that allows them to run around splashing red paint on things and, lately celebrating the decapitation of babies, gang rape, and burning defenseless civilians alive.
Not sure that the idiots he is associating with are getting any long-term benefits out of the largess. Criminal records have the tendency of being quite sticky.
I was just thinking the same thing. The way he's going he'll be out of $ and all his followers will bail.
It sounds like an example of something that has long been an aspect of the history of capitalist enterprise. Dynamic entrepreneurs make huge fortunes....the following generations of their family become more and more decadent and useless. It was a not uncommon story of the desendents of Britain and America's 19th c. 'muck-and-brass' tycoons.
"Decadent and useless" -add self-hatred and self- loathing, and you've just about summed up his profile Graham.
It's the face tattoo that does it for me. Nothing says I can't wait to be identified in a police lineup and spend time in prison more than a nice face tattoo. Ask that idiot rapper who has 69 in his stage name.
Me too. Years ago when lawyers received paper discovery in criminal cases the booking sheet had a section for "scars, marks, tattoos, brands and other identifying marks".
Yes he has. He pretty much posted my comment and now you, my reply. I'll go make coffee
The third generation curse.
I suspect he gets it all from his dad. He just took dad's ideology more seriously. Dad's money probably does more insidious harm. Grandpa should have taken the Buffet pledge. Leave them rich enough for food, shelter, drugs and such...but not enough to cause real harm to others.
Good obsrrvation.
His mother should of had an abortion.
Should have...or should've
Apparently his Grandmother, too.
Self loathing neurotic basket cases are common. They are simply able to do a lot more damage to the working poor and disenfranchised when they are rich.
The irony--it would be funny but for the very real suffering involved--is that all these sorts of people don't know the first effing thing about the working poor, and their politics ALWAYS makes the lives of such people worse.
But as I've pointed out many times, none of this is about building. It is about destruction. The "workers" and the poor are simply the alibi, the rationalization, for projects that consist in nothing but omnidirectional and indifferent hatred and rage.
Pondering this a bit, it seems to me that people of this sort--and he is a type, who would likely be glad to be compared to rich kid Friedrich Engels--are really just engaging in a form of CosPlay. It is a masked ball, where they get to play the edgy heroes rescuing the downtrodden when NO ONE ELSE WILL. It's up to them. The clock is ticking. What will happen? Stay tuned and see.
But they forget it's a stupid game. They need their delusions to be real, so no matter how cruel the real world is to them--no matter how many reports they get of starvation and heinous crimes, no matter how barbarous their own thugs are--they resolutely persist in their fantasies. Iron Man is REAL, you see. So is Spiderman. Because it would just be too cruel a universe to survive if they weren't.
And you know a kid like this has done all the drugs, probably flirted with suicide, and come up with turning the world into his own personal theater--at least from his own perspective--as the solution to what to do with a life that doesn't need work to get by, and lacks the maturity to do anything genuinely creative or interesting. You tattoo mass murderers on your arm, and worry about flooded tents. Fuck it: that IS comical. His theater is that of the sadistic absurd. It's ludicrous. Risible. When he is not engaging in empty gestures he is helping support the destruction of good jobs in this country, making the poor more poor, probably being supported by the elites who use him for their own purposes, and generally wandering around like the lost child we can assume he is.
If I traded lives with him, I would know what to do with that money. But that is because I have worked elbow to elbow with normal people all my life ,and come from the working poor.
Exactly! He is the definition of “champagne socialist” and it just takes too much work and effort to truly understand what working class people might need the most in various industries. The best bosses I ever had in my career were the ones who had risen through the ranks and who knew exactly what was involved in the work of their subordinates because they had done it themselves. They knew how much time was involved in a job, they understood paying the rent, the need to give people challenges and rewards, etc. - in a healthy productive way. Some of the worst bosses I ever had were dazzlingly impressive resumes who were parachuted in to the company and had no clue what we did, how long it took or what was involved or what would actually help us the most. This guy is that type of useless - moneyed, with big ideas but no serious, hard experience in building anything intelligent or productive. Pathetic.
Why is it that white, privileged little snots are the easiest for the Marxists to turn into useful idiiots?
It's cheap and easy recognition for moral virtues you don't possess, in exchange for easy symbolic acts which can be purchased easily enough.
Marxists only care about appearances, and appearances can be anything you can get away with.
Because they've never had to work for a living and have unlimited amounts of time on their hands
Historically, most Marxists socialists are spoiled, educated rich kids looking to upset their parents at Christmas dinner. (Marx, Engels, Castro, Guavara . . . . ). Poor kids make horrible Marxists.
I see single mothers on our local Facebook group asking for help with getting a cheap car and keeping it running, getting clothes and food for their kids. And this idiot shreds money. The poor guy can't figure out how to be useful.
Because it is relevant to me personally, my metric is: have you ever been so broke you've given blood for money? I have. I don't recommend it, but at the time I couldn't figure out any other way to pay the rent.
Anyone who claims they want to help that level of people should spend a lot of time with them. None of these left wing nut jobs do. Marx didn't. Lenin didn't. They need the symbol of the "oppressed" to emotionally fund their violence, but retribution is the main goal, not the gradual improvements that are the only sort that last and can be generalized.
I used to buy a lottery ticket now and then, when the prize got big. Now I'm a bit slower to do so. I don't think I have the required integrity to oversee the collective volume of pain embodied by a hundred million dollars. Not only the pain of people who bought tickets instead of diapers (real necessities), but the pain it would inflict on my near relatives whether or not I dole it out or send it all to charity. It would be like being the overseer of an atomic bomb. So I have some sympathy for a guy who is lost and can't figure how to get out. Maybe this guy knows he's a leaky bucket and sees that as his default level of "giving back" Hopefully he will be as inept at the violence part.
The best line in the article was that his escape ranch is 15 minutes down the road from his father's escape ranch.
Some of us have to work to live
…and we are the lucky ones
He basically admits that - I get to wear whatever mask I want to.
Amen
The left is unique; the rich at the turn of the 20th Century were just crazy with their luxury and didn't care much for society. Carnegie, Rockefeller, and others felt compelled to do things with cash. But in the end, in most of these communist regimes, it's a great way to be powerful and wealthy at the same time. The richest people in Venezuela are still the Chavez family? But the right needs to have some movement to promote the spirit of the Gospel of Wealth; we are in a battle of ideals, and too often, we leave the playing field to radical leftists.
It doesn't help that the Republican party turned its back on small businesses in America. From embracing globalism and abandoning trust-busting, the Rs are just as culpable as the Ds in ruining the American Dream. Between the Dems over-regulation of work rules and tax law and embrace of open borders and China in the WTO and the Repubs whoring for corporate cash and "rates of return," small business ownership and continuation is increasingly unviable in the USA.
You forgot to mention the Democrats “whoring for corporate cash” which is legion at this point. Democrats destroyed thousands of mom and pop businesses during Covid while allowing Walmart and strip clubs to stay open (hey, it’s science!).
Part of that is their whoring for union cash, too.
Oh yeah. Case in point, the teachers union.. Despite the Dems constantly virtue signaling about the poor and working class, they were okay with closing public schools for huge tracts of time. Meanwhile, of course, it was somehow safe for Newsom and others to take their kids to open private schools. Studies on the really disturbing, possibly life long effects of this policy are now emerging.
No one needed any studies to know that closing schools for kids -- especially poor kids during COVID -- would be really, really bad.
That is a great point, there is nothing closer to the ideal of the Yeoman farmer than a small business owner. People who care about their community, customers, and employees. The bigger they are the less they care.
R's are culpable to the extent they act like Democrats, which is often. It is what the left wing media has done its best to demand of them, by punishing common sense and plain honest speech wherever possible.
But while there are RINO's, there are no DINO's. We have sufficiently clear beliefs that it is not hard to note where our representatives fall short. Most Democrats, in contrast, need to read the news to know what their views are, and if they can't change them often and quickly, they get left behind and cancelled.
The T-Elephant in the room happens to be one of these inherited wealth guys who spends a lot of time making "deals" and throwing people under the bus. When there was a "deal" in 2016 and he actually stuck to it I was pleasantly surprised. But since about mid-year 2020 he has been on an unhinged rant. He's more about hate-the-other-rich-people than he is about helping people who need help, or even just running the works in a smooth and effective way. I won't vote for him. I just won't. I'll write in my neighbor before I vote for either of the current poll toppers. Call me a RINO... do they make hats with that logo?
The election was stolen and the prosecutions against him--and the J6 protesters--are purely political. The FBI plays politics, and given that we know it has dirt on Joe Biden that would easily put him in jail along with his son and probably several other relatives, should we not assume the worst as far as who is actually running the country?
Durham charged two people of lying to the FBI to keep the Russiagate thing going. They were acquitted, because the FBI KNEW AT THE OUTSET the allegations were lies.
If that doesn't bother you, you got a problem, son.
You are wrong right out of the gate. the election wasn't stolen, it was given away. Trump didn't even campaign. When real statesmanship was called for, he checked out. Yes there is a swamp, and it does bother me.
I agree to an extent. I think Dave Chappelle nailed him. But I also think any rational person would be "unhinged" if the full force of the executive agencies were marshaled against the person. Which begs the question, why the martialing of the assets? And every time I read a link provided by a Trump hater to justify their position I do not draw the same conclusion they do. I also read the last "damning indictment" and fail to understand how seeking legal advice amounts to a conspiracy to overthrow the government. Here's a flash - you do not use lawyers to stage a coup. You use lawyers to operate within the system. (Or to rebuild after a coup as in "[S]end money, guns and lawyers.".) Lastly, I am far, far, far more concerned about to whom.Biden owes allegiance than I am about any social media rant. It seems to a no-brainer to me.
The "T-Elephant" was for detaching the US from all the globalist institutions, like the WHO, who want to control our lives, like the nut in this article. Ask Dr Drew interviewed Seamus Bruner https://drdrew.com/2023/exposed-connecting-epstein-gates-the-global-health-investment-fund-w-seamus-bruner-dr-kelly-victory-ask-dr-drew/ The people in his book don't just want to take over MA, but the whole world. They will use fear and control and the US will be free no more. I am not sure who is brave enough to stand up to these bullies who think they are God.
Well said.
There are no Republicans, Democrats, Communists or Capitalists. Only the loose world wide affiliation of a powerful wealthy super elite and whatever agenda they are attempting to inflict on the world at the moment. Inside the American Constitutional Republic, avaricious wealth, through its capture, and the willing venality of American elected political leadership, continues "the greatest upward transfer of wealth in human history." Its purely opportunistic philosophy of "more", and the necessary exercise of power to maintain control of populations, requires the creation of a mercenary class of sycophantic poseurs (useful idiots), to exploit an extremist ideology, that will prevent, and scream over the top of, the human moral reason, that would create the healthy national dialogue, and necessary vision for a viable human future. Again, it is not political it is purely pathological. Entire nations can go mad. The 20th Century was a testament to the millions murdered and buried in the grave of the ideal.
Today's TFP offering on Mr. Chambers, wealth, the Communist Party and the fear of further organized mob violence: No one speaks of the Wall Street and European criminal financiers who bank rolled Lenin and Trotsky and funded the criminal gangs and violence inside Russia that brought down the Czar, enslaved the Russian people, and looted the national economy. (At that time the Czar was one of the richest men in the world.) Sound familiar? Solzhenitsyn said on numerous occasions that the leaders of the Communist revolution hated the Russian people and gladly destroyed their lives at every opportunity,
LEARNED HELPLESSNESS: A phenomenon observed in both humans and other animals when they have been conditioned to expect pain, suffering, or discomfort without a way to escape. (Hopeless much?)
Depression, anxiety, suicide, addiction and self-mutilation are the direct consequence of living inside a manufactured hyperrealistic LIE that turns the natural life force and agency of the individual against himself. And, more importantly, for our shared purpose here, actively works to silence his/her ability to speak about what is happening to him. Last weeks second Congressional Twitter File hearing confirms that reality.
Continue to ignore the man behind the cyber curtain at your own peril. Against all moral human reason and in violation of every tenet of personal privacy and the American Constitution you have been numbered, commodified, scrutinized and labeled. The cyber slave ascends and the battered and confused citizen of the Republic lies down. Want proof? Spend a half hour with Shoshanna Zuboff. Then add the revelations of the Twitter File investigation and the marriage of Googleland tech billionaires and the captured, weaponized and compromised DNC surveillance state CIC bureaucracy.
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! The American Constitutional Republic, the citizen, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights it contains, is the only voice of human moral reason, and the only engine of human survival!!
Yip “let’s drain the swamp”
If you want to drain the swamp, you'll need to replace every elected official in DC.
It ain't only the elected "officials."
True!
Correct
I agree. But I trace it beck to Bush I's resounding defeat when it really was the economy stupid. It is almost as if instead of rebounding, the surrendered.
Confused, THC syndrome and multiple drug abuse syndrome. Word salad for brains because of it. Little guy napoleon as well, probably. Dedicated to ..., come on kid! Islam allied with Hitler in WW2 and is absolutely dedicated to destroying communism to this day.
All the Berkshire people should come together and demand that Fergie share his wealth equally with them, as a good communist would.
Just curious: can you name a communist anywhere who has shared his personal wealth with anyone?
Nope. Not actually expecting Fergie to either. But just thinking we should start calling out all these wealthy communists on their hypocrisy. Make them live by words. If they really are about communism and for the working class, demand they lead the revolution by example, demand they start by giving up their own wealth to share with others.
They won’t do it, and hopefully the ignorant youth will start to wake up to the hypocrisy and bullsh*t and stop getting recruited by these psychos.
It's super funny to me that he's this giant Marxist who moves to New Hampshire for its conservative gun and tax laws. You want your money to go to causes that are important to you and not to the government? Where have I heard this before? :|
And when he goes down in flames, they’ll say he was a Trump supporter lol
From conservatives. They also want to keep more of their own money to do stuff they want with it. I had the same thought.
Beware the organizations who are supporting the "common good" ...I am sure the CCCP or the Peoples Republic would claim they do that....or even if you start your own Foundation it is likely to get subverted by the left wing authoritarians
' "I am going to give all my money to causes that support the common good"... Said no rich leftist with mom-and-dad-issues ever.'
And never said by any son who had to earn all his millions himself, until he became as old as his father..
Spot on!
SO IN OTHER WORDS THE GUY IS A PSYCHOPATH
If this guy didn't have the cash, he would likely end up homeless in San Francisco and addicted to fentanyl.
He actually has a family. I feel sorry for them especially the children.
The daughter actually has a job, so -- though she spouts his ideas -- there may be hope that she learns better from her working-class colleagues. Fergie took his dad's ideas seriously. I pray his daughter learns better, before she has exhausted her trust fund.
We can only hope. Look at Soros's kids. They unfortunately believe his vitriol and will probably continue it after he dies and I hope he dies his natural death soon.
Right, he looks like he's straight out of central casting.
Batshit crazy and a psycho, he has got the double
I actually cannot believe that TFP subjected us to this crap today!
I'm glad they did, how else would you find out about these lunatics? They can do more damage than you think
It was a useful article.
Sorry T took nothing home on this one, am grateful Fergie is not in my town. Not saying I don’t have crap where I live but nothing as bad as this group.
😂😂😂wouldn’t waste a good barf bag on this one - and to top it all B S it was so so long, I didn’t finish it I just couldn’t.
It was initially unclear why Suzi Weiss would spend 1 second indulging this duchebag cliche, until it became clear how anti-Semitic he is. The objective of this ridiculous article is to sound the alarm against this type of idiot.
However TM why give him time on his anti semitism. We don’t have to look much further than college campuses and their respective presidents. This wacko was incidental, Suzi knows as well as all of us “we have bigger fish to fry” we need to expose the foreign money from Qatar, we need to get rid of these rabid anti Semitic professors and students who are a cancer at our universities - we have a job to do Suzi needs to focus on the above not on Fergie🇺🇸🇺🇸
It did not get better. I am.like BS though I would rather know than not know. And I was struck by the lack of the usual but MAGA!!!! reference.
The "just returned from the Hamptons" and the $6k espresso machine and the designer furniture almost did it for me
Suzi's weapons against this Anti-Semitic baby-trapped-in-a-man's-tattooed-body are all these horrifying details. Every word is meant to show what an ass he is. And, he's so stupid that he didn't realize that Suzi Weiss was Jewish, and, therefore, likely pro-Israel.
I think it's a brilliant piece of journalism. I went to school for that myself, and when you think what a tightrope she had to walk with this interview to get Chambers' cooperation and trust. It's challenging to interview a subject loathsome to many readers. You can't come across as too hard or too easy on them. So she let him dig his own hole, just by reporting facts like the coffee machine and letting him do all the talking.
Another thing it seems he didn't do his homework on is the nature of The Free Press. Wouldn't he think it a capitalist, Zionist, colonialist rag? Or his he such a narcissist he just wants his name out there no matter what?
Normally I'd say, he's all hat and no cattle, but perhaps in this case I'd say, "All Che Guevara beret, and no revolution."
No real Marxist revolutionary would be concerned about $50 tent mats or flooded tents. It just comes with the territory of hard sacrifice for the cause. This guy is just a jerk.
My favorite part was but I spent so much money to avoid this!!!!
He's a communist...That goes without saying.
He already said it.
And a complete idiot.
My thoughts too! Well stated! Either that or a sociopath, but I will leave that to the Psychologist of Psychiatrists to decide.
I had to look up the definition of both. Psychopath being more dangerous than the sociopath.
Both are scary. I have met both. Good read is The Sociopath Next Door
First off, I'm pretty sure my mom taught me to never listen to or trust guys who have face tattoos named 'Fergie'
"We need to make all of white America afraid that everything they have stolen is going to be burned to the ground" says the guy sporting the Red Sox cap.....ya know.....that awesome major league baseball team that's been owned by 15 different wealthy white men since 1901.
Also equally idiotic: "Fergie himself has claimed that he’s 'not a big gun guy'." Two minutes later - “I’ve always been into self-defense, and I was always kind of into guns”
I don't know about you, but Fergie Chambers and the Berkshire Communists group sounds a little bit like Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple 2.0. Nothing like cleaning up 1,000 corpses to prove you have the answer to all the worlds problems.
Finally, if I'm a betting man, I'd say there's about a 101% chance that this dude and his group are up to their tattooed necks in some weird sex based sh*t. Anyone interested in laying odds on that?
Just sayin....
Bill Ayers, 70s domestic terrorist, Weather Underground, was the son of a CEO of a big corporation in Chicago. When he figured out blowing up buildings wasn’t effective, he decided to go into education and brainwash kids. And befriend the Obamas.
Bill Ayers did not have a sexual relationship with Barack Hussein Obama, Maureen. And it’s wrong of you to suggest that. I’m cancelling my subscription.
Ha, No. Bill Ayers married Bernadine Dohrn, famous for having her mug shot on FBI most wanted list posters in post offices.
More like Beardadine Worn tbh
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
All I know is there isn’t an ounce of fergaliciousness about him
Bill Ayers? No tattoos, but similar ideology and goals. Have you met him?
No, I meant Fergie Chambers 😀
🤣🤣🤣
Huh? You and your have very different opinions of befriending.
I was thinking there's more of a resemblance to Charles Manson.
I’ve read a fair bit about Manson, and I don’t think “Fergie” is comparable.
Manson’s cult had a supposedly political component (i.e., the “Helter Skelter” race war, where -- in Manson’s fantasy -- blacks would rise up and take over, but wouldn’t be capable of running things, so they would call on Charlie to come out of the mystical cave in Death Valley to run the country for them [he was a stunning racist!]).
But Charlie was not really politically motivated...what he wanted was POWER over others and adulation and sex with teenaged girls (his favorite age was 13-14, see Ouish and Snake). Manson had a long history of manipulating others to do what he wanted; even in elementary school, he had a group of girls beat up a boy he didn’t like on his behalf(!) -- perfect foreshadowing. He used drugs himself, but often deployed them as a means of controlling his followers. Manson was largely devoid of guilt (he came from a poor background, with an absent biological father and a strict stepfather, and was often a discipline problem from an early age). Basically, Charlie was extraordinarily high in the “dark triad” traits, and not averse to violence, especially when carried out by others as a show of fealty.
This dude Fergie scares me more, in some ways. Imagine being so riddled with guilt, that you turn your anger and self loathing into a rage against society. Now imagine that you have enough money to influence others to join you in your rage; enough money to form a kind of army. Imagine that your brain has been severely affected by drugs over a period of many years, and that you suffer from paranoid delusions, but you’re so rich no one ever contradicts you.
Manson was never going to achieve Helter Skelter, and his cult never grew beyond a couple of dozen people. They were always broke and scrounging for money, dumpster diving and living rent free in richer peoples’ homes (old man Spahn, Dennis Wilson). The horror of the Manson murders must not be forgotten -- it was essentially the “dark side” of the hippie culture -- and it helped bring that era to an end, but it never spread to university campuses, MSM, the State Department, etc. This dude Fergie, is using considerable resources ($$$ and power/influence) to nudge this nation towards a system he doesn’t understand. That, to me, is what’s so chilling.
If the FBI was not completely corrupt, they would be on this dude 24/7/365. He’s like a combination of the Unabomber (with friends, one-third the IQ, and f*ck-wads of money); SDS/Weather Underground (recruiting at universities, but much better funded).
Of all the scary stuff I’ve been reading about lately, this is one of the most terrifying. Quietly terrifying.
Good post.
"Of all the scary stuff I’ve been reading about lately, this is one of the most terrifying. Quietly terrifying." I agree... but - when you say "If the FBI was not completely corrupt" you hit on what is even more scary to me than this man - and that is our already corrupt institutions. He feeds into an existing problem.
Here I want to cut and paste from a brilliant comment on Friday's PITT (which is about a 15 year old girl who has been kidnapped from mom by the state of Oregon over Gender Identity). I hope the commenter doesn't mind.
"Great question. What is the endgame? Socialism and power, I think. Control. In my research I have found that the point is to create societal chaos intentionally. The more chaos the better. Open the borders, don't prosecute crime or enforce laws, change the meaning of words, encourage educated suburban Mom's in safe neighborhoods to scream to defund the police so that people and businesses actually living in inner cities suffer from more crime, remove education standards to graduate from school because that is only fair in Baltimore and Oregon (and kids actually cannot read and do math), etc. Then socialists and marxist activists come in with the "cure", the "fix", the "solution". They take control and take the power from the people. They want power. Authoritarianism. And that usually involves the populace ceding some of their freedoms in the name of the "greater good"... To be kind, to avoid so called Disinformation and speech they do not like. Words are violence, we are to believe. We must give up some freedom to feel safe. No big deal. Afterall, no one thought it was a big deal in the 1930's when the Nazi's made the Jews wear a star, or close their shops on certain days of the week. It's not THAT big of a deal, they said. No one spoke up. (Referencing the book by Erik Larson, In the Garden of Beasts). They take baby steps. Little freedoms removed one at a time. The frog doesn't know he is boiling if you warm the water slowly. So we Allow Obama to change Title Nine to allow men to compete in womens' sports - to be kind, it's not a big deal, So we let men in womens' safe and private spaces, to be kind, So we let California keep our runaway kids and call the parents abusers, to save the children who clearly are of sound mind, So we let schools make policies to keep secrets from parents and place conversion therapy bans on mental health professionals, So we let people police our speech with pronouns and allow them to accuse us of "WRONG THINK". Everyone should go back and read Orwell's 1984. The parallels are uncanny. The endgame is chaos, so "they" can come in and save the day by taking away freedoms and "changing" the country. Everyone assumes "change" is good. Does anyone ask, "What is the change we need?"" From https://pitt.substack.com/p/oregons-state-assistance-encouraged
" [he was a stunning racist!] "
The progressive movement is stunningly racist ... if you're able to see the underlying framework.
The entirety of CRT is racist. Once you clear away the word salad, CRT is the theory that POC are less capable than non-POC. Every awful bit of Intersectionality, whence deconstructed elucidates the horrific thought that POC are less capable, hence need uplifting even on a level playing field.
As I said above, Manson wasn't born rich.
It's interesting that you say Fergie is more terrifying than Manson (Fergie probably just jerked off reading your comment). He's the dark triad of the Progressive movement come to life. It's a shame for MA voters that they released this Kraken. You might be on to something.
I just came across this article on Manson’s "accelerationism" (which Psychology Today ABSURDLY attributes to “right wing extremism” — when we’ve all watched the left’s "accelerationism" play out in real time from the Cloward-Piven strategy of the ‘60s to the more recent George Floyd riots and the pro-Palestinian “demonstrations”, gender theory, the attacks on the nuclear family, the Manson-like push towards a race war, etc.)
https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/media-spotlight/202312/exploring-the-mind-of-charles-manson
I agree.
Funny you mention Manson.....that's who I thought of first but then figured Manson didn't pile up enough bodies in relation to the potential this clown has.
Only because Manson wasn't born rich.
word.
No. You need to read Bugliosi's book on Manson.
Confused, THC syndrome and multiple drug abuse syndromes, yes. Word salad for brains.
My first thought too. Then I thought he's just George Soros, but in need of etiquette lessons. Strangely, this kid actually makes his point very effectively. The kind of capitalism that exists in the US is really more akin to plutocracy than a free market economy. The kid, his whole family, and most of the billionaire class are different only in degree, and really do hate us middle class chumps, we deplorables. If they take our culture down in flames, all the better by their measure. And we won't be able to stop them by making our paltry $100 contribution to our favored candidates.
That was what I wrote a half hour ago. Before I got to you..
Your comment is far more succinct..
lol
Beat me to it.
Great minds think alike. Many old cults have resurrected in modern movements. BLM/Antifa is the new Jim Jones, Manson family is trans grooming, Heaven's Gate is climate alarmism/ESG, and Buddhafield is Faucism: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-become-a-cult-leader
This nutbag is right down the road from a few hundred brilliant, highly impressionable, emotionally unstable teenagers. He's already pulling them into his "hate the Jews for Communism" cult. There is no way this doesn't end with violence. Expect a Berkshires pogrom if not a bombing campaign.
I know- I find that aspect the most terrifying thing! Many of these kids have zero moral compass, and are ripe for the picking!
I would question how Brilliant anyone that follows this guy can be. Just looking at him screams "Stay Away".
When you're a teenager, with no moral compass, all leadership looks attractive. The more radical, the better.
Then, in my mind, they are not brilliant. There are tons of places to find answers to what is lacking in your life. Following a rich dude with a face tattoo over all of the other charismatic people tells me someone is not very smart
I'll mix his Kool-Aid.
I was thinking it has shades of Charles Manson. In any case, either Jim Jones or Manson we can all see that this will not end well.
Seeing the girls in the line up reminded me of the Manson chicks (although only 1 had long straight hair, parted in the center.)
Or the Symbionese Liberation Army chicks. Calla Walsh (former Disney Channel actress) looks like a younger, fresher version of Emily Harris.
Yes! 100%. Minus the $250 mil
Trash comes in many colors, social classes, and political stripes.
I love New England, and have been trying to find a house there -- somewhere -- but Brooklyn's got the devils I know.
Today a derelict Black guy took a dump on my Flatbush sidewalk. Wouldn't stop no matter how loud I hollered. He's not hate-filled, like our Fergie here, just dysfunctional and aggressive.
(Although what he yelled at me as he moved away revealed I'd say some real animosity.)
I cleaned it up as best as I could now that I've put away the watering hoses and drained the outdoor pipes for the winter, but all the Clorox in the world can't erase the stench.
Hey, it's what I've got: drug-addled, incontinent derelicts. Better than insane aggressive "communists" with millions to put into -- who knows? Antisocial stuff as a possibility is probably an inadequate description.
Imagine: right down the road from me; or just across the meadow or the creek from me.
Or just beyond the tree-line. Brrr. Guess I'll stay where I am.
Head south grasshopper.....head south.....
If this clown ever gets the stones, he’ll be in for a rude awakening. As a wise poet once said, “Now you wanna run around talking 'bout guns like I ain't got none. What, you think I sold 'em all?”
It occurred to me as I was reading this that NH is also home to the Free State Project: lots of well-armed libertarians. Methinks that this guy may very well "find out."
Odds are higher that this scumbag will end up killing himself. His self-hatred is obvious and palpable.
we can only hope.....
Tucker Carlson was on the All-in podcast recently and talked about this very thing. Very interesting. When people get too rich, too easily, too fast, they self-loathe and become destructive. In the past super rich people like Carnegie used their wealth to build libraries and concert halls. But Carnegie started from nothing.
Funny how this commie in his commune is not self sufficient, out farming, raising dairy cows and chickens. That would require work. This guy wants to punish himself and take others down with him. Maybe people should refuse to sell anything to him. No food, no supplies, nothing.
like George Soro's These idiot are a big threat to civil society. No concept of where his resource and wealth came form it sure as heck was not communisms.
But, George Soros is Jewish. With any luck, this might turn into a Jason and the Argonauts situation: hopefully, Soros and this guy can spend all their money fighting each other. Problem solved.
Can we do a Survivor of Soros vs. Fergie? Soros is sharp; this guy seems like a dumb stoner.
He's an anti US "warmongering" POS. I see Tuck doing a very limited sit down w the scumbag, maybe with Glennie greenwald and the Colonel Klink, to whine about all the "warmongering"
Did you bump your head this morning
Too much warmongering? How about a toxic masculinity sit down with Tuck, toughie commie boy Fergie , Islamist manly man role model Andrew Tate, famed military strategist Colonel Klink Mcgregor, conservative hero Ye with his latest blonde sex kitten wife, and Glennie' G's hubby?
Now I’m sure you bumped your head.
It's right up there in the article that he thinks anybody as rich as him ever having a job is ridiculous. There's hope for his daughter, but not him.
No hope for his daughter or any of his kids, they are already brainwashed from his absolute craziness.
the mom is not going to add much to the mix either, except maybe a sense of aesthetics?
One can only hope for the 14 yr. old, although the author’s observation of her “neck full of hickies” is unsettling--as it should be for any father. But I suppose Fergie has more pressing issues to attend to.
Wonder where she got those hickies. Hmmmm.
Daughter was the only glint of sunlight through the whole family tree.
This guy is exactly that which the Powers that Be accuse anyone to the right of Mao of being. The good news (yeeesh!) is that this munificent boil is festering in plain sight because it is protected by the present definition of Correctness.
Maybe some local farmer will mistake him for a chicken thief and end it with a load of 12 guage buckshot.
Wouldn’t be surprised if a self inflicted event ends the story of the self proclaimed hero.
Like a Waco or Branch Davidian kind of implosion.
Or a face to face meeting with one of his firearms.
That’s a brilliant idea
Hates whites but is white
Hates the rich but is rich
Shouldn’t have more than one home but has many
I don’t think this guy is paying his fair share. Neither are the college endowments . Tax them to the max.
They took down Capone with tax evasion. This loser will hopefully eventually face his own music.
In this country? Hah.
If there’s one proven fact it’s that if you have enough money, or political connections, no laws matter.
That was in the olden days when there were still some honest D.A.s. around. Pre-Soros?
I wonder are other races allowed to own property , is capitalism for them?
Not bad..
😂😂😂💯
I am sorry but $250 million is nothing in todays world.
Honestly I am not worried about this kid, he is just lost as many of his generation are.
If you honestly want to write about someone who is a Billionaire (with capital B), then please write about Alexander Soros, son and heir of George Soros. He runs Open Society Foundations that has funded many of "progressive" District attorneys, that have ruined American cities.
Thus please dont write about some dreamers that wear T-Shirts with Che Guevara, but please write about people who have immense power, and actually use it to shape America to how they see fit.
I agree with the premise of your point, but this idiot can still do a lot of damage. He's obviously not a finesse actor, so the damage he inflicts will be of a different sort than what Alexander Soros spins up and funds. But still, I would not want to live anywhere near Commissar Asshat's "commune."
Interesting article, but that’s 20 min of my life I’ll never get back. My soul needs a good scrubbing after reading about this disgusting person.
Behold, though, the characteristics of that part of the country. Although rather understated, it is the sort of place that has embraced what's coming, having never thought that it would actually come for them. (As always, the Little People will take it in the chin.)
As a Massachusetts transplant, I 100000000000% agree.
You said it! I lived in deep blue Massa2shits (Kerry and Warren) for 60+ years and shitbags like Ferby are a dime a dozen. What separates this puckered sphincter from the others is that he has two nickels to rub together.
Ferby. Fantastic. LOL
There is more damage in give this idiot credence by making articles about him.
He is rich kid cosplaying as revolutionary, story as old as time.
I more worried about people how actually do something
Agreed. His pro Palestine, anti Zionist beliefs are the reason he was featured in post 10/7 TFP. The man is just another confused wannabe with money cashing in on the attention this article affords him.
I happen to live relatively close to this commune. I'm grateful to thefp.com for putting him on my radar screen today. He seems pretty real to me, if his henchmen can walk into my community anytime they want and wage a pogrom.
Amendment II is a good response to possible problems from him and his crew.
I couldn’t agree with you more God knows where Suzi found this egghead.
The residents of that little town need to exercise their right to form a militia.
It sounds like the town doesn't have a police force and the surrounding areas probably defunded their police forces, or voted in a liberal D.A. Bummer.
The police are the people, and the people are the police. Paraphrasing Peele, the founder of modern policing.
Can we talk about George Soros for a minute? How is he going to handle the pro-Hamas bullshit that his Progressive policies have nurtured and developed? Maybe Bari should interview Alexander Soros? Maybe Fergie and Alexander (two hateful creatures) can share a yurt at Burning Man this summer and think up a Fresh New Hell for the rest of us. Another pandemic perhaps?
He sounds like the losers of the Red Brigade and Bader Meinhof from the 70s. Overindulged sociopathic rich kids with no morals who decided that it was chic to try to destroy western values.
Oh and if he was such a communist why does he keep his money? Why doesn't he give it all away to organizations that help those in need or create one himself, and actually do some good ? Of course he doesn't. Because he is full of crap.
I think the answer was in the story. He doesn't want to help people, he wants to destroy the only economic system that creates broad-based prosperity.
He does "sponsor" all his sycophants. I'm curious how much he donates anonymously. Joking.
Right? What a stupid, spoiled rich kid. Jesus.
“The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money” (Thatcher) - I hope he runs out of his late parents money before he does more damage.
Money and gasoline have a lot in common. In the gas tank of a tractor it can plant a field and harvest a crop. Carelessly handled it vaporizes, blows up and destroys everything around it.
When privilege, unearned wealth, low IQ, self-hate, and psychotic mental illness combine in one pathetic freak of nature, you get dear little Fergie. Thank you Free Press for finding this icon of the globalist monsters who actually believe they alone should determine how the rest of us live our lives.
add substance abuse
Plus copious amounts of high-test grass!
Spot on. He will make a mistake and then find out what a jail cell looks like.
He can afford lawyers, so he probably won't see the inside of a cell.
you left out rampant drug use
Exactly.
If you’re almost 40 and you still believe the things you’ve believed since you were 13, I’d argue you haven’t learned anything.
I thought the same thing. But it's such an infantile world. ONline and now offline bullying was started by teenagers. That generation has grown up into idiotic teenagers
.
This isn’t what *everyone* does when you tell them rich people got rich by stealing. It’s just what most people do. Now we probably need to figure out how many people we have told that rich people got rich by stealing..………oope turns out we told everyone that.
I love how it’s not dawning on anyone that the blood libel against whites, about their disproportionate representation in high positions indicating a nefarious scheme that must be destroyed, is the exact same as what the Nazis said about Jews.
An espresso machine communist.
Real Marxists, the early 20th century kind, would put this guy in the basement of the Lubyanka after confiscating his wealth.
And I thought "Champagne Socialist" was a clever moniker... "Espresso Machine Communist" is even better!!
It’s good to stay up-to-date 😏
What about Electric Porsche Progessives?
Like that too! We could go all day... Yachting Communists...
If there’s one comment Fergie reads from here, I hope it’s this one!
I suspect more of a 7.65x25 in the back of the head in the courtyard as he was marched along.
7.62x38R - he wouldn't have made it past the Bolshevik era
That's the revolver cartridge? I was thinking the Tokarev round. Which is actually a 7.62 and not 7.65 as I posted. Today it might be a 9.1x18 or the 9x21. Parsing detail aside the point being he wouldn't be consuming
I agree, and yes that is the Nagant revolver round.
Honest question: are there any "real Marxists?" Marxists who weren't educated rich kids just trying to rebel against their successful parents?
He'd be the first one up against the wall.
“and instead of conservative, they’re all—except for Fergie and a lone Republican aunt that no one talks to—establishment Democrats.”
——————————————————-
This guy is a mainstream Democrat, he’s just doing the hard part right now. 70% of Democrats agree with this guy on everything and 30% are worse.
90% of the progressive community that he resides in says nothing, because they also have a bright shiny crow's collection of political and moral philosophies. This is the crowd that buys the expensive and "artistic" Mao bust to put on their designer coffee maker but don't read Mao's essays.
Agree, JoAnne. And, the young ones walk around with Che Guevara shirts. Yawn.
It's not true that 70% of Democrats agree with this guy on everything. It's simply not.
OK then, what percentage of democrats believe more than 10% of what this addled psychopath believes? 99%, 98%?
If I understand correctly, this guy cashed out of his family's investments? And now he's spending money, but not earning any more? Evidently no one ever explained to him that you can't just keep spending money when there's no income?
This guy sounds scary now, but he'll become even more dangerous when his funds start running low. Once he can no longer make problems go away with money, his violent rhetoric will become his only way out.
Scary.
His money was held in a Trust, which was regulated, and money was distributed to him based on the terms of the Trust. The rest of the family wanted nothing to do with him, so they bought him out of the Trust, effectively handing him a lump of cash that would have otherwise been distributed over the course of many years.
Now he's on his own, with no guidance from his family. One can only hope that he will follow the path of so many lottery winners and lose it all by virtue of being an absolute simpleton.
at 30 cents on the dollar, pretty sweet deal.
That is the 1st thing I thought when I read that, he will be broke soon, and has no life skills because he never had to learn any.
Unfortunately, people with no life skills often become criminals, and make other people suffer.
The rest of the money, per the article, will be paid out over 14 yrs. There's always the chance that one day, he'll be so stoned that he'll trip, fall, hit his head, and soon after, die.
Since I would never allow myself to wish for another person's death, I'll hope he hits his head and wises up
he'll inherit his father's share eventually tho.
You know that rich people have Wills, right? It sounds like his dad has no mind to let one cent make it to this dude when he’s gone
shit
If you put $150 million in a high yield savings account (not sure why someone would, but if they did), you've still got $7 million a year in interest coming in. I don't think I could spend $7 million a year if I tried, except maybe the first year buying an amazing house. You're right in what you said, but it's going to take him a LONG time to run out of money.
I'm not sure this guy is bright enough to have put his money into any kind of savings account. And while *you* might not be able to spend $7 million a year, if this guy keeps giving money away to anyone he thinks deserves it, it adds up fast.
Most big lottery winners end up more broke than they were to start with after 5 years.
He will be robbed blind by the hangers-on and the people he hires to mange his money because he is a dope!
For all of Fergie's bravado and craziness, there is going to be another person or persons crazier and angrier. Intersectionality of crazy can like karma be a nightmare.
There are probably very shrewd plans to re-absorb the money back into the family's heritage in case Fergie passes away before the money is all spent.
I read a very sad story about a grandfather who won the lottery. He thought he was helping his granddaughter by supporting her so she didn't have to work in a restaurant. The problem is, he thought she'd find an interest or passion to pursue but she didn't do ANYTHING but sit around all day. She got bored and started using drugs (not saying boredom causes people to use drugs but perpetual boredom and having no purpose in life doesn't help), eventually dying of an overdose.
You’d be correct if he also wasn’t a certified lunatic. It would be the height of hypocrisy to invest in a CD after taking a 70% loss on a sure bet inheritance and an obliteration of his anti/ capitalist angst. This guy will lose his money in a relatively short time. He just needs to meet the right grifter.
Wouldn’t investing in the financial industry make him part of the capitalist rot in white America he rails about?
If true to his beliefs he will mete out his enormous wealth to comrades and subsist on proceeds from handmade trinkets and produce grown on his organic farmland.
I believe I read where there are as many grains of sand as on a Caribbean beach of parasites clung to his bank account. The description of his fourteen year old daughter is indicative of millions draining as I type. It won't take so long. Additionally someone close to him might not like a reply to a request.
His daughter has a job. She sounds like a fairly normal teenager.
Fourteen and hickey pocked?
None of mine sported hickeys until college.
I suspect a buss boy.
Was that a clever pun?!? “Buss” vs. bus...props.
I can't wait to hear about his 22 yr old assistant who embezzled all of his money! lol
💯%😂😂😂
Says in the article "He was given half of that earlier this summer and the rest will be doled out over the next 14 years."
Does anybody seriously expect this freak to be alive in 14 years?
no , someone ruthless with brains will come along and steal the money and off the lunatic , give it 3 or 4 years
I would think that $250 million would earn a good deal of interest annually? I thought I read somewhere in there that he had hired a money manager.
There is nothing that infuriates me more than rich & spoiled communists that don’t realize they are rich thanks to capitalism. What a waste of his family’s legacy and hard work - I am sure his ancestors are rolling in their grave.
This article should be shown to everyone multimillionaire with children so they can adjust their wills. Seriously stop giving your kids money they don’t deserve.
1) “If ‘Fuck You, Mom and Dad,” were a person...” is one of the best lines I’ve read in a while.
2) This guy is living prove of the maxim that there is an inverse relationship between a man’s trustworthiness and the flatness of his cap brim.
3) Note to editor: In the eight pictures, our little Robespierre is practicing jiu jitsu, not muy thai.
"Our little Robespierre," might be the best thing I've heard all week.
