It’s always the ones you most suspect.

That’s why Spanish Inquisition doesn’t commit crimes anymore!

I mean, if they were to, it’d be wholly unexpected.

Beat me to it.

Well yeah…

Isn’t she a product of Trump’s teen pagents he bragged about spying on?

She was almost certainly trafficked herself, and then took on a Maxwell type role recruiting once she aged out, and in return got set up with a celebrity.

Waaaaay to many of his old contestants keep popping up for it be a coincidence, there was some kind of pipeline there

Wasn’t she also involved in the Romanian sex trafficking rings that the Tates eventually took over?

Me not hearing about it certainly doesn’t mean it’s not true…

But when I tried to search about it, there’s no trustworthy sources.

Between the two, it’s probably bullshit. But it’s not like I’d be surprised to hear it was true either.

Ah I fell for some bullshit. You are correct, my original statement appears false.

Wait, is Erika Kirk a CIA psyop??

4am@lemmy.zip on 18 Feb 18:27 collapse

Probably more of a knock-on effect of the CIA propping up some truly shitty people, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least

SippyCup@lemmy.world on 18 Feb 18:42 collapse

I mean they’ve gotta have a reason to prop someone up beyond shits and giggles.

The case of Erika Kirk illustrates how celebrity, activism, and alleged criminal networks can intersect in ways that draw intense media and public scrutiny. While much of the current discussion is based on unverified reports, the serious charges against her pastor and Kirk’s connections to controversial organisations make this an ongoing story with potentially far-reaching consequences.

Evidence you can take the em dashes out of an AI article and still have it reek of chatgpt.

DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works on 18 Feb 14:54 next collapse

The article is AI slop whose only citation is a deleted Reddit post.

atzanteol@sh.itjust.works on 18 Feb 15:01 next collapse

Yeah, I’m no fan of Kirk but this article is 90% “she may have had ties to X which means she could have done Y.”

Ibtimes has been predominantly clickbait slop since long before LLMs were even a thing. I recall seeing them pop up with good SEO and shitty worthless content circa 2010.

So I am not the least bit surprised to hear they’d have embraced AI slop.

SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip on 18 Feb 16:15 collapse

I’ve always thought of them as Irritable Bowel Times, which certainly reflects their content.

MAGA and pedophilia seem to go together like maga and red hats.

This article links to a previous one about alleged grooming of an underage pageant contestant, but it's pretty weak sauce.

Isn’t she banned from Romania? For starting some evil orphanage or something? Real life movie villain shit.

philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club on 18 Feb 21:47 collapse

Can you say more, I haven’t heard about this.

ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip on 18 Feb 22:18 collapse

I originally saw the claim in a YouTube video. I can’t find any hard evidence, but it’s a rumour that’s been going around for a while. That’s why I was kind of asking the same thing. It’s weird to even have that rumour about you.

Here’s her Wikipedia photo cropped, so you can see further into the void: <img alt="" src="https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/d7b7f176-62d0-4a08-9078-0dac55f5f0c1.avif">
