Investigative Series: One Label Under Blackmail: The Early Intersections of Diddy and the Epstein Network: https://unlimitedhangout.com/2025/04/investigative-series/one-label-under-blackmail-the-early-intersections-of-diddy-and-the-epstein-network/
Generated Summary:
Main Topic:
The video discusses Whitney Webb’s article “One Label Under Blackmail,” which explores the connections between Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jeffrey Epstein, and a larger network involving organized crime, intelligence agencies, and the music industry.
Key Points:
Diddy & Epstein as Fall Guys: The article suggests Diddy and Epstein are not the heads of the snake, but rather figures being sacrificed to protect more powerful individuals.
Clive Davis’s Influence & Scandal: Clive Davis, a key figure in Diddy’s career, had a prior scandal involving embezzlement and alleged connections to procuring drugs and prostitutes. Despite this, he quickly rebounded in the music industry.
Compromising of Artists: Allegations that Davis, Andre Harrell, and Russell Simmons used drugs and alcohol to compromise Diddy, and that Diddy then used similar tactics to control younger artists like Usher and Justin Bieber.
Blackmail & Recording: Diddy’s obsessive drive to record everything, potentially for blackmail purposes, possibly influenced by Clive Davis.
Mob Ties & Private Prisons: The article highlights alleged mob ties within MCA Records and connections to the private prison system. The video references an anonymous industry insider’s account of a meeting where record labels were encouraged to promote crime in hip-hop to fill private prisons.
CIA Involvement & Drug Trafficking: Allegations that MCA Records had ties to the CIA and that the CIA was involved in drug trafficking in black communities.
Political Connections: Lou Wasserman of MCA had close ties to Bill Clinton, with the Wasserman Foundation becoming a major donor to the Clinton Foundation.
Death Row as an Intelligence Front: The video mentions that part two of the series will examine the East vs. West Rap feud and the deaths of Tupac and Biggie, and that Death Row Records was an intelligence front.
Corporations Profiting from Inmate Labor: Companies like Walmart and Microsoft are mentioned as having profited from inmate labor.
Highlights:
Whitney Webb’s detailed investigation linking Diddy and Epstein to a broader network of corruption.
The allegation that record labels conspired to promote criminal behavior in rap music to benefit from private prison investments.
The suggestion that Diddy and Epstein are taking the fall to protect more powerful figures within the network.
The historical context of alleged CIA involvement in drug trafficking and its impact on black communities.

Do you use your blinker in a car?
submitted by https://sh.itjust.works/u/TriflingToad
I use it literally everywhere out of habit, I got made fun of for using it when pulling out of my moms driveway once lol
The only reason I won’t possibly use it is when I’m in a turn only lane at a red light and don’t want to listen to it for 3 minutes
Most people I find only use it 75% of the time at best.
I’m 2.5 years into driving and am curious if it’s just what semi-new drivers do or if I’m the odd one out.
Need help: Pringles (saddle-shaped chips) alternative?
submitted by https://lemmy.ca/u/zhenbo_endle
I have been a Pringles lover for more than a decade, and it’s time for me to find an alternative one. I like the saddle-shape and I don’t know which brand provides it.
r/BuyFromEU suggests some local brands, but that’s not my case:

Any suggestions?
Thank you

Day 269 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MyNameIsAtticus
Today’s game is the Escapist 2. Me and a Friend ended up playing this to kill some time in the evening after Halo didn’t really work out. We settled for this prison in the desert (after planning to work our way up too a D&D themed DLC). Immediately we got the plan to use forks and spoons to shovel our way out through and old mineshaft. Oddly enough Steam just didn’t record a lot of my screenshots, so i’m going to use a lot more words to describe what happened.
We admittedly got a little too immersed in prison life though as we ended up chilling out and playing instruments while doing odd jobs for people around the prison. It wasn’t until we remembered “oh yeah, we’re supposed to be breaking out” that we actually started putting some work in again.
I got the stuff to make a pickaxe from shopping around and by looting the desk in the above screenshot, and we (mostly me) devised a plan. When it’s night time we’re going to plant some bed dummies, and make a rush for the mineshaft, then we’ll surface on the secondary wall. We’ll use the pickaxe to dig our way through the external wall and make a break for it and get home free.
We were set to do it today. But someone forgot they had plans for tomorrow and had to quit early (we’re all good though lol). I did end up messing around with the tutorial prison for a few minutes though. It brought back a lot of memories of playing the Mobile version of the first game on long car trips.
Ironically my preferred way of breaking out back then was using spoons to tunnel my way out. It was horribly inefficient but i treated it like a bigger flex then it probably was back then.
