Not really, that term emerged out of the peak of the Mexican cartel wars of the early 2000s.

Or at least, that's when it gained popularity.

It's just been repurposed to fit their needs.

Started off fine for roughly a dozen words, then you jump right into Bill Gates.

Bill Gates who was great friends with Jeffrey Epstein, a monopolist, and most recently, worked tirelessly to prevent the sharing of the covid vaccine technology, during the pandemic, because it would harm the profits of his friends in big pharma.

I think your world view needs adjusting.

“‘Someone’ cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second,” Bray posted on Bluesky social media. “We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’”

If there was a government stop on his travel, such as being added to a no-fly list, he wouldn't be able to simply rebook his tickets as the article describes.

Since the article does not explicitly say how it happened, you have to read between the lines. None of what they described sounded like government persecution, but it sounds exactly like what happens when you're targeted by 4chan for harassment.

Again, he was immediately rebooked by the airlines, and not taken away by DHS or TSA.

The article also makes it sound like the airline is in a bit of CYA mode, because at minimum they were the targets of a extremely high profile case of social engineering.

IMO it was really poor decision to make a public announcement about his intents to leave the country, prior to his actually leaving the country, especially since he's traveling with his family.

Using Google products is implicit support for Google.

Which, by the way, I understand, but if you actually read the comments from top to bottom, you would have grasped the context.

So tell me you didn't actually read the comment thread without telling me.

The person I was responding to was declaring that their choice to use an Android based phone makes them a more ethical consumer, and therefore a better person, then iPhone users.

That's an absurd position, which was what my comment was highlighting.

How about you just don't act high and mighty and pretend that your personal consumer choice of using an Android based OS somehow make you more ethical then those who use an iPhone.

Completely misleading headline.

It looks like someone socially engineered the canceling of his family's trip.

At least according to this article, it was not any government action stopping him from leaving.

Probably still traumatic for them all, but they've already rebooked new flights, per the article.
