Im not interested Ricky L Pinzon!
4 years later and this no life, overly obsessed, paranoid, psychotic, mentally ill, meth tweaker is still trying to contact me by abusing reporting tools and brigading with his sewer rats.
I’ve blocked this weirdo clinger sovereign citizen hundreds of times and he still continues to obsess over everything I do. It’s fucking weird he wants my attention so bad.
I thought the fbi visit and monitored online activities by this gun/drug felon would stop him from trying to contact me.
Ricky Pinzon is a damn psycho! 🖕🌽🐀

Fun Papers Please fact! The poses the guards have during the many endings the Inspector gets arrested in are the same poses guards have on the map screen during a normal day, only with one of the guards mirrored so they point the gun at the Inspector.
Take a look!

#papers please#i noticed this when i was getting every ending and thought it was neat#look you see this ending screen so many times you'll eventually try to find anything interesting about it to cope#same with terrorist attacks where you'll be watchin' the guards to see if they're like. super dead yet

don't try to make this darker than it is

#this is a real actual HYPOTHETICAL SENTENCE#it does not refer to any current-day situation#at least not that i know of#it's about a dam in the united states#and i am writing a paper to my fictional boss to tell her about natural disaster hazards in the area#for an assignment#i wouldn’t have even brought terrorists up but it was in the assignment#i guess because it's one of those concerns people who watch the news too much but don't learn enough would have#anyways

1. Love 💕
I saw God putting two people together as one. Something about a fur cream coloured boot 👢 that looked like flesh. This is for my over 35+ crowd - Matthew 19:6 “So they are no longer two, but one flesh”. I found this in my house 👇🏾This message is also for someone named ALICE. I was shown EXCESSIVE male hairs on my chest as if I was a man. I remember saying to God “oh no! This can’t be getting worse” because of my PCOS 😭😅 Then the LORD revealed to me that it was a result of the two becoming one flesh and we had a laugh 🤭 — Remember Matthew 19 for later. I have updates and more spiritual tea 🫖

2. Terrorist Attack - America 🇺🇸🩸⚠️
There’s going to be a terrorist attack in America 🇺🇸 because of all the sins committed by various people and some leaders. I was shown Tyga the rap artists leaning on a white picket fence. Then I was shown images from 911 where people were covered in ashes and soot. I was also shown Daniel Day Lewis and he said to me “There Will Be Blood” 👇🏾then tipped his hat. His hat was well made, superb quality and the Tiffany blue ribbon around it.







This is a result of greed 💰 so prepare for the worst case scenario 📊
There is too much corruption and the people are suffering. There is deadlock in governments and weaponization of institutions instead of instilling proper governance. The guilty are left to walk free and the innocent are punished for crimes they did not commit.
For a very very long time the LORD has been warning people to get right with him but they refused. God is super big mad.
Pray for our firefighters and first responders including the police and the military. No one knows the “DAY” or the hour as to when this will occur, but it will be devastating 💔 — Yes America, you are under judgement cupcakes. This is something the LORD has done on his own accord and it hurt me greatly because of my great love and respect for your nation. The world will say
“How did America the Great, not see this coming?”
It will be an embarrassment on the nation. A stain like the ones left in your underwear.
These are the charges against you:
You make false promises and lie to others, you kill for greed, you take away jobs from the poor, you drive up the cost of food and healthcare, you threaten your neighbours who have chosen to always live in peace with you, you stand up for terrorist and refuse to come to the aide of nations that are fighting against barbarianism. You poison your lakes and rivers and fields through pollution and chemicals slowly killing your citizens, you don’t properly invest in your children’s education leaving teachers with barely any supplies, you practice witchcraft and idolatry, prance around half naked, try to destroy Godly people, attempt to kill your prophets and apostles, have and use children for clout and greed and try to justify it as "PR", obsessed with sex, obsessed with money, obsessed with slander, the elderly are disrespected, you rob each other and steal elections and power, your media tell lies and spread propaganda and misinformation, you betray those that love you, you turn your back on those who have supported you, you deceive each other then go and laugh about it with your fake friends over alcohol and with loud mouth family members, you gossip about your loved ones behind their backs while they are struggling, exposing the very sins you yourself are guilty of, you prop up wicked leaders and chase away the good ones, the church runs away the young people seeking love, acceptance and deliverance with legalism, you won't take care of your veterans the way they deserve who have sacrificed their lives to keep you safe and it will all be IN VAIN. You discredit the work of good police officers. You have helped wicked people succeed even when the LORD has told you to abandon them - “DO NOT HELP THEM”❌ because they will eventually turn against you, you hide your spiritual gifts from your children, never teaching them about their own, never talking to them about sex, rape and incest because they are "woke" topics, while watching family members sexually assault them, yet you expect the LORD to continue to bless you without ever asking for forgiveness and making your wrongs right, never humbling yourselves and apologizing for your transgressions.
Now the terror that you love to speak of, the terror that you inflict, the terror that you incite, will be turned against you.
God’s sword is against you 🗡️
and I could say nothing to our LORD. He took my voice as he took the voice of Ezekiel. I was speechless, dumfounded and heartbroken 💔 I HATE having to say this. Truly.
I saw the sword last night. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was the colour of a shimmering kind of chrome with purple and green like the JOKER and was sharp and pointy. Sharper than the swords of the noble Japanese Samurai’ Warriors who, at the very least, fought for honour, truth and justice. Even they had a code of honour, but today we use codes to steal elections from their rightful victors and to steal MILLIONS from each other.
There will be anarchy in your streets because of what you have ALLOWED. You didn't bring perpetrators to justice when you had the chance. The hatred you have given is going to be given unto you, double and everyone will turn against your leader. YES, I saw it in the spirit. I heard a segment of the American people rejecting his rule. They will come to despise and loathe him. I am telling you EXACTLY what I saw and heard. They said to me "WE DO NOT WANT HIM". and even that surprised me 👀 Just ask the LORD yourselves. I also saw a small segment of people in Washington DC saying they were
"f o r e v e r f a i t h f u l"
to God. May the LORD be with them and protect them.
Not even the collapse of the bridge 🌉 brought you back to God. The murder of the CEO didn't wake people up. The bombing of Trump Tower in the Cybertruck didn’t tell you anything. So now what do you think God is going to do to the nation that once loved him and that he gave to your ancestors????? It seems you have forgotten.
You’ve been unfaithful to God and everyone and everything around you. You’ve become like a brood of vipers as Jesus once called the Pharisees, now hell is going to be unleashed.


People can’t afford food and the first thing I hear Mike Johnson announce as Speaker is to prosecute those Biden gave preemptive pardons to, once again weaponizing and immobilizing the judicial system for evil, instead of finding solutions to feed the poor and fix a broken healthcare and prison system
MY GOD, PEOPLE ARE STARVING AND THIS IS WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT IS DOING? 👀
This is their priority and foolishly so many of you agree with this. Take a good look at who these people are, because they are now under the judgement of God.
At this very moment God is raising up someone to destroy you — and it’s not just HIM — I tried to warn you. Other prophets tried to warn you, God HIMSELF tried to warn you🔥 Now meet your terrorist... and like a tiger he is stalking and waiting for the right time to strike. He is highly intelligent and he is LEAN, powerful and drunk off insanity and wrath. He is like a mad dog, Cujo ain’t got nothing on him. In fact, I believe he and his accomplices are already in your country but I am unsure. If you thought Bin-laden and Sin-war were calculating... THINK AGAIN, American's. Not even the American Psycho can compare to what runs through this guys head. You have made yourselves an enemy of every nation because of your lewdness and cruelty. God will show you confirmation of this word.



☝🏾 The image of the jokers at the Last Super is quite interesting. Please do not accept this as blasphemy of the Holy One, Jesus, whom I love. I am illustrating an example since the LORD showed me the sword with the colours of the Joker and the betrayal message with the orange tablecloth. I was shown a GIANT Hyena the other day and if you've been following me for sometime, you know this is a formidable foe against the lion. They are forever arch-nemesis'.
Also remember this 👇🏾👀 -- the same colours as the Joker 🃏
I tried to pray and ask the LORD to relent but he said NO❗️— so don’t be mad at me.
the list of sins are too long to count! Everyday I come on here to try to help you all even as I struggle myself. EVERY DAMN DAY even while SICK and yet here we are 🥺💔 Never say I and others didn't try to look out for you and be your watchmen and women....
N E V E R
Lest the LORD take you out right then and there!!!
The LORD also sent me these scriptures more recently. As a nation you’ve become so provocative and disloyal to one another and to God, worried about what other people are eating and drinking and how they look and not worried about your own soul. As a result, the LORD is going to humble everyone because of the sins of a few. YES, even innocent people will PERISH but, blood will not be on my hands. That I promise you because you were forewarned.
There is also judgement coming for some women. The other day I was shown "prostitutes" and now I am being shown this scripture 👇🏾 -- however this isn't just about prostitution. The LORD is using this as an analogy for our lust for power and wealth.




The below scripture applies to the above, but also for those who have been patiently waiting for the LORD on some good news — no more delays 👇🏾

When this comes to pass, you will ALL KNOW God is real and this is his punishment against you 🗡️
We don’t need to be perfect but God knows our hearts 💚💜 Even righteous people make mistakes, we all fall short, we all sin DAILY (me included) but this isn't about that because we sincerely reach out to God for forgiveness. He knows within we love him. He sees many of us trying to do better. But this judgement is because WE ARE MISTREATING ONE ANOTHER, LYING TO EACH OTHER, CALLING WHAT IS EVIL, GOOD and what is GOOD, EVIL, dishonouring the LORD. This is because of our PRIDE and ARROGANCE.
Anyone who has relationships with the Americans and assets, PREPARE. I have seen many other things and people in the spiritual realm moving about in strange ways.
📩
The message has gone out to the world in the spirit to destroy the Americans except those marked by God, because of the multitude of their sins and their refusal to repent. I saw a letter last night and prior to, I saw a wax seal I had mentioned.
This is the word of the LORD. He has revealed all of this to me. He showed me the Bible and it was lit up with embers of fire and he showed me in reddish-orange, the word
anger
As I was looking for an image of a tiger I came across the one below. The embers around the Bible looked just like the embers around the tiger and I am screaminggggggggggggg 🤯

This is my epistle to you: January 24, 2025
PS. Remember how the LORD showed me those rusty weird looking weapons above Gaza and the Lion with the crown walking through there? The image below is very similar to what I saw in both those incidences.


Yes this is what some people are doing with their children... using them as pawns against their exes or for $$$ and some are getting pregnant for a bag. This is detestable to the LORD.
3.
"miracle" 💫
I was shown this word and emoji. I felt relieved because this word really broke my heart. This made me feel a little better bc ultimately, your girl wants what is BEST for you as children of God. I want to see you win and I want to see the LORD increase your territory like the tribe of the most fiercest lions 🦁 and I always pray that for you... so understand that justice is going to be served. Expect some good news
4.
I saw a hockey team dressed up as the Lakers.... the same golden yellow, we have come to love. It was wild. IDK what that means yet but I did receive confirmation of the Maple Leafs being champions and, it's going to set the nation off like crazzzyyyyyyyy when it does. Canadians will be so happy. Please believe it 🇨🇦🥰 This is an answered prayer and good business for the NHL. Thank you, God. Btw the players I saw were HUGE!! I was on the ice with them. I felt so little compared to these guys😅 I felt like a young girl 🎀 maybe this is someone's daughter who will be amazed at what her father accomplishes. I did have a vision of me as a young girl with pigtail twists 🥰 in the rink. The men were really happy, smiling and chopping it up ... thankfully I can skate ⛸️ but not as good as those guys. They literally fly on ice. It's impressive indeed. I wonder if this also means ICE is coming to LA to round up people???? 👀 -- I believe this to be true. Be ready.
5. Health messages:
I believe Putin is ill in some regard.
I also heard "Marcus Rogers - artery". Something is seriously wrong with his heart or some major artery. He may want to have that checked out.
I also heard
"blood disease"
Idk what's going on in Oz, Nahal Israel but I saw a green dragon flying towards a house on the hill. Then I saw the "Oz" also in green. There is an Oz in Turkey as well. The house reminded me of the cover of Bram Stokers Dracula.... yes, the castle. Dracula drinks BLOOD. Be careful y'all. I also think the Wizard of Oz which is a magician but he was a sham. Something isn’t what it seems.
6. A rat 🐀
I had a vision of a rat standing right in front of me. I was low on the ground and he was eating something like paper. Why would a rat be eating paper?? 👀 Is this evidence? He was eating good though. He has money. This person could work for law enforcement but either way, they are right there in front of you. It might be the very person you're closest to like a family member or partner, someone you wouldn't expect. Some of you are from the UK 🇬🇧 This person is higgghhhhhhhhh up in the game... no pun intended and bc of them, a lot of people are going to jail. They even give up a few names just to get the cops off their tail or lead them down the wrong rabbit hole. Yeah, the game is like that sometimes and it's wrong. A false witness is a false witness, an innocent person is an innocent person. IDK babes but honestly, I'm feeling God really don't like what this person has been doing. You can be a rat and send innocent people to jail and get caught up in this mess especially destroying the youth. I don't condone criminality which goes against everything that is of God. However, I do believe in mercy, grace and second chances, but this is wow. He also keeps showing me garages. We were standing near my garage. That's how close they are to someone. I keep seeing that theme in a few of God's prophecies -- this person could simply be chattin your family business but I saw some geese feathers the other day in front of my garage and I thought a hawk had killed a sparrow, except there was no blood lol. I was horrified because feathers were EVERYWHERE and I love God’s birds. Also for ex. the person you're dealing with, IF this is not a crooked cop, would be the type to be the one doing the drugs, but then tell the feds, you’re taking and distributing them. That's evil. I hope that makes sense. Pray for them because I don't think they will be alive much longer. The feathers are a sign 🪶🩸
PPS. An update: Two days after I released the message about the flags and my neighbour, another neighbour beside me passed away 👀
#terrorist attack#America#marriage#love#unions#I am so heartbroken I cried all night last night 💔#Now I know how Samuel felt when he mourned Saul#pls excuse any spelling errors#rat#paper#health#Oz

Post 9/11 Trivia
Most folks on this site were either children on September 11, 2001, or weren’t even born yet. But America went crazy for about a year afterwards. Here’s some highlights that I remember that might not be in your history books:
There was national discussion on whether or not Halloween should be canceled because…fuck if I know why. After planes crashed into buildings in NYC it follows that 6-year-olds in Iowa shouldn’t be allowed to dress up like Batman and ask their neighbors for candy, I guess. (Halloween wasn’t canceled, by the way.)
On a similar note, people asked if comedy - any sort of comedy - was appropriate anymore, ever.
People sold shitty parachutes to suckers “in case your building gets attacked and you have to jump out the window.” There were honest-to-God news reports warning people not to jump out of the window with shitty mail-order parachutes because they wouldn't work.
As a follow-up to the attacks, someone mailed anthrax to some prominent politicians and news anchors - you know, famous people - along with some badly-written notes about “you cannot stop us, death to America, Allah is good” and after that every time some random dumbass found a package in the mail they didn’t recognize they thought that the terrorists were targeting them, too.
Everyone was similarly convinced that their town was going to be the next target, even if they were a little town in the middle of nowhere. "Our town of Bumblefuck, South Dakota (population 690) has the largest styrofoam pig statue west of the Mississippi! Terrorists might fly planes into that too! It's a prime target!"
People started taping up their windows and trying to make their houses or apartments airtight out of fear of chemical and biological attacks. There were news reports warning people that turning your house into an airtight box was a bad idea because, y'know, you need air to breathe.
"[X] supports terrorism!" and “if we do [X], the terrorists win!” were used as arguments for everything. "Some rich Arab you never heard of donated to his organization that backs Hamas which backs al-Queda, and also owns stock in a holding company that has partial ownership of the Pringles company, so if you eat Pringles you're supporting terrorism!" "The terrorists want to tear down our freedoms and our way of life and rule us through fear! Eating what you want is one of our freedoms as Americans! If you're afraid to eat Pringles, the terrorists win!" (I promise you that this sort of argument is in no way hyperbole.) (This argument is how Halloween was saved, by the way. “If we cancel Halloween, the terrorists win!”)
People worked 9/11 into everything, and I mean everything, whether it was appropriate or not. If you went to the grocery store the tortilla chips would remind you to support the troops on the packaging. Used car sales would be dedicated to our brave first responders. You couldn't wipe your ass without the toilet paper rolls reminding you to never forget the fallen of 9/11, and again, this is not hyperbole. My uncle, who lived in Ohio and had never been to New York except to visit once in the 70′s, died of a stroke about 8 months after 9/11, and the priest brought up the attacks at the eulogy.
On a similar local note, on the day of 9/11, after the towers went down, gas stations in my home town immediately jacked up gas prices. The mayor had the cops go around and force them to take them back down. I doubt any of that was legal.
Before 9/11, Christianity in America - and religion in general - was on a downward swing, with reddit-tier atheism on the upswing. Religion was outdated superstition from a bygone age. The day after 9/11? Every single church was PACKED. (This wasn't a bad thing, but the power-hungry on the Evangelical Right saw this as a golden opportunity to grab power and influence.)
EDIT: By Popular Demand - Freedom Fries. I initially left these off because they came a couple years after the initial panic and most people thought they were kind of absurd (and I don't recall anyone really going along with it other than maybe some local diners here and there). France didn't want to get involved in our world policing so some folks were like "TRAITORS!" and wanted to call french fries "Freedom Fries" instead, so as to stick it to the French.
Besides dumb shit like that…it’s really hard to overstate how completely the national mood and character changed in the span of a day, or how much of the current culture war is a result of the aftermath. (9/11 was the impetus for the sharp rise in power of the Evangelical Right, who made themselves utterly odious and the following backlash helped the rise of the current Progressive Left, for instance.)
And if all of this seems batshit...well, it was. But I want you to think for a moment how people react today over even trivial shit. People send death threats over children's cartoons. They call for blood if the maker of a video game had an opinion they don't like. If someone made a racist joke a decade ago when they were a teenage edgelord, folks will go after people who even associate with them. "DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THE HARM THEY'RE DOING!?"
Now take that same level of over-the-top histrionics and apply it to the unprecedented event of passenger planes crashing into crowded buildings in America's most populous city and killing thousands of people all at once. "DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE WERE ATTACKED!?"

The biggest misunderstanding about Caitlyn from fans actually comes from season 1, not 2. Fans see Caitlyn break Vi out of prison and talk to Ekko about empathy and think that she’s learning and growing as a character and then when season 2 hits they think all that growth was somehow “abandoned” or “reversed.”
But that’s not true.
Caitlyn has ALWAYS been a spoiled little rich girl who came from a family of rich people who are so used to how much power they have in the city that they don’t regard ANYONE’S feelings or respect ANY rules. Both Marcus and Salow spell this out to us.
Marcus: “She’s a Kiramman! Just like them she does what she wants! I can’t control her!”
Salow: “It’s the name! It bewitches people.”
Time skip Caitlyn is introduced investigating the botched Jinx job at the shipping docks. She is not an official detective and Marcus makes it clear she isn’t supposed to be there. She’s supposed to be guarding her family’s pavilion, but she ignored both her mother’s AND the sheriff’s wishes to investigate a crime because she’s bored.
She breaks Vi out of prison AFTER she’s been effectively laid-off by Marcus, using her connections to Jayce to forge her release papers. Reminder: at this point in the story she is technically not a cop anymore. She’s doing all this stuff with noble intentions of trying to uncover Silco and bring Jinx to justice… but what she’s doing is technically illegal. And the only reason she’s able to get away with it is because she’s a spoiled rich BRAT.
Her privilege shields her from repercussions in season 1, just as they do in season 2.
The difference is that she’s now been traumatized by Jinx. Her bodily autonomy was violated by Jinx kidnapping her when she was literally naked in the shower, she was most likely tortured by Jinx, was tied up and painted on, threatened to be executed at gun point by Jinx, and then to top it all off Jinx murders her mother in a terrorist attack.
And Caitlyn tries to hold it all in. She tries to confide with Vi, she tries to let her hatred go… but both times she is denied her the ability to grieve properly. First by her privilege and not understanding that asking Vi to become an Enforcer would be rejected. And then by Ambessa by funding the attack on the memorial service.
She has no parental figure to guide her, her rage and hatred for Jinx is boiling over… so she resorts to what she always does and what she did back in season 1. She just does what she wants to get her way. She convinces Jayce to develop hextech weapons, she assumes the role of leader for house Kiramman, and she uses her unique position in power to bend systems her family put in place to protect Zaun against them.
Caitlyn in season 2 is very much the same Caitlyn we’ve always known from season 1. The difference is that in season 1 we were rooting for her because we like Vi. She exhausted the same disrespect for authority and people back then but they were in service of things we, the audience, liked. So we gave her a pass. We excused her rule breaking. We ignored her unique brand of privilege because we liked what her privilege could unlock for us.
Season 2 slams that door shut and tells us “no, actually, you weren’t supposed to like this because nobody in power is innocent.”
But rather than learn more about Caitlyn and understand her character better… people are dismiss this all as “bad writing” or “character assassination.”
And what’s more frustrating is the whole “dictator arc.” Because frankly I would argue that by that point Caitlyn HAS learned her lesson about privilege and power, but it’s too late to stop things now. Just as Jayce going vigilante in season 1 was the start of a cataclysmic event, Caitlyn gassing Zaun to look for Jinx results in Caitlyn losing everyone she trusts and respects. Broken up with Vi and alone, she is suddenly granted even MORE power than she’s ever had by Ambessa. And you can see it affect her. In that moment she realizes that Ambessa is the one who spearheaded the attack on the memorial. After seeing what happened between her and Vi, she realizes that by taking this role she will be responsible for even greater atrocities.
She has 2 choices. Let it all go, or use the position of power to her advantage. And just like before in season 1… she chooses the later. Her goal may still be to get Jinx, but she does NOT want to be a part of Ambessa’s dictatorship. This is why she’s so reluctant to join even with all the peer pressure. This is why she’s so slow and hesitant to walk forward. And she only accepts the cape she is crowned with once Ambessa says “your mother will have justice.”
What’s most important about this scene is that SHE KNOWS Ambessa is using her. That’s why when we see her in Act 2 she’s already trying to counter Ambessa’s plans. That’s why she’s constantly challenging Ambessa with “why is peace always the excuse for violence?” That’s why when Ambessa says “you don’t trust me?” Caitlyn responds with a resounding “no.” And that’s why when Vi drops back into her life she realizes she has an opportunity to correct her mistakes. She doesn’t switch on a dime because Vi fluttered her eyes and called her “cupcake.” She switches because she was already looking for an out. And this is why when Vi confronts her in Act 3 she screams “I KNOW.”
Caitlyn’s arc is that of someone who always had privilege and power coming to realize too late how dangerous and harmful that power is. By the time she learns her lesson she’s already entrenched with Ambessa and stuck in this hateful miasma for Jinx. Season 1 was setup for what was going to follow with how her character was going to learn and atone for her mistakes.
And what’s so god damn frustrating about all the discourse around Caitlyn is how reductive and dismissive it all is. So much of the discourse completely ignores the actions she takes to fix things in favor of trumping up the actions she took to get there. All of her transgressions in season 1 are ignored and her own internalized growth is reduced to a joke about Vi calling her cupcake. It’s MADDENING.
