The United States harasses victims of deviant sadistic maltreatment by military Child SA’ers who are misusing advanced technology they have access to. They are using technology that is meant to keep Americans safe to secretly watch children, show them deviant content through hacking their devices, and touch them inappropriately or give them incapacitating substances. Victims of this crime are R’d, and tortured and then as they get older are then stalked and harassed both on and offline by creeps that are helping their friends get away with their crimes. They sabotage the lives of their victims to make them as hellish as possible. This goes on for years, and it seems to last their entire lives. Some victims may not even know they’re victims because much of the R happens when they are slipped something or asleep. The only reason you may know is because they may leave behind physical evidence like bodily fluids, bruises, or scratches. The men who do this think that they can shame their victims into silence because some of the actions are coerced. They think that the more depraved they can be with innocent children the more likely they will be too ashamed to speak out. At least some men with access to this technology are using to hurt and R children. The victims are left with little recourse because they likely won’t know who R’d them. They try to invade every part of their victims' lives to try to shame and mock them into silence.

When they reached enemy lines at Hastings, he taunted the English by juggling his sword and was challenged by an English soldier, who he killed before charging the English lines alone, while singing and was said to have killed at least four more Englishmen before being cut down.

A lot of this is propaganda. Monarchy throughout history has been nothing but cruel and even their jesters participated in their madness. Leadership must be constantly challenged and kept in check by the outside. There were jesters who were executioners, some even killed for the king for said king's entertainment. The reason so many positive cases are brought up is because historical societies in America are funded by the American government. Go to europe and learn true history. It is not ever clean. Much of it covered up at the time it was written only to be uncovered through thorough investigation later.

Yes. The relationship between politics, comedy and jesters is age old. That's why Victor Hugo's novel 'The Man Who Laughs' is so powerful because Hugo used this very concept to criticise the dukes of Paris. The Man who Laughs is also prime inspiration for 'Joker' from Batman comics, whose various interpretations have portrayed him as a critic of the modern society or the "established order". And this is also a reason why a lot of contemporary comedy is so critical of the political scenario. Because if you are gonna tell people that they are getting screwed over, you might as well make them laugh while you're at it.

The best explanation. I have heard is that they are the canaries in the coal mine. If the king is a tyrant, they’d punish the jester harshly. If they’re average, it gets laughed off.

The United States harasses victims of deviant sadistic maltreatment by military Child SA’ers who are misusing advanced technology they have access to. They are using technology that is meant to keep Americans safe to secretly watch children, show them deviant content through hacking their devices, and touch them inappropriately or give them incapacitating substances. Victims of this crime are R’d, and tortured and then as they get older are then stalked and harassed both on and offline by creeps that are helping their friends get away with their crimes. They sabotage the lives of their victims to make them as hellish as possible. This goes on for years, and it seems to last their entire lives. Some victims may not even know they’re victims because much of the R happens when they are slipped something or asleep. The only reason you may know is because they may leave behind physical evidence like bodily fluids, bruises, or scratches. The men who do this think that they can shame their victims into silence because some of the actions are coerced. They think that the more depraved they can be with innocent children the more likely they will be too ashamed to speak out. At least some men with access to this technology are using to hurt and R children. The victims are left with little recourse because they likely won’t know who R’d them. They try to invade every part of their victims' lives to try to shame and mock them into silence.

I have a stuffed frog named Jester, in my head he always acts like Jesters since clowns were always one of my favorite hyperfixations and i love them and i love frogs and i love Jester ( my frog, also the clown jesters too ) I'm planning to make Jester a small custome with a coat, and a mask. With a royal blue indigo and golden colors with some maroon colored details inspired mainly by old Jesters clothes, but extra fancy Bye

"Oh! a private buffoon is a light-hearted loon if you listen to popular rumour; From the morn to the night he's so joyous and bright, and he bubbles with wit and good humour! He's so quaint and so terse, both in prose and in verse; yet though people forgive his transgression, There are one or two rules that all family fools must observe, if they love their profession." - W.S. Gilbert, Yeomen of the Guard
