There was this comedian in the NYT doing sketch comedy about venezuela and her dad turned out to be involved in a massacre there

op said he doesn't believe those claims, just that they led to discovering the fact that Mitski's father is a a war criminal

My bad I misread his post saying "and honestly the woman didn’t seem mentally stable" so I'ma edit.

The Hausman lady? what a f***ing mess

Yeah her

This was actually my big revelation outta this thread. As much s*** as I talked about OP this was surprising, but in hindsight makes a lot of sense.

Whole thread reminds me of the Silver Jews band story, David Berman.

Trust fund kid, made a band, detested his father and wealth. "In January 2009, Berman announced his retirement from music in hopes of finding a meaningful way of undoing the damage that his estranged father Richard Berman, a lobbyist and public relations executive for the alcohol and tobacco industries among others, had brought upon society."

Killed himself last year.

purple mountains was f***ing great. very hard to listen to

potench the best album of 2019 imo

I’ve just read some of amberdollar’s statements. She mentions Mitski’s father is a government agent. Was that public knowledge at the time of her writing? Or were her allegations what spurred the investigation into Mitski’s father’s background?

hmm i’m not sure it was public knowledge prior though I don’t imagine it wasn’t, but the allegations are what kicked up the investigation, yea

I will say that this information definitely makes the original allegations seem a bit.... weirder

who

It's public knowledge that the guy was state department. That's bad enough tbh. But switching to 13 countries in a matter of Mitski' childhood years? What other job could that be?

covert paramilitary operations

Navy? What would the Navy do in a landlocked nation such as DR Congo? The public info is US State Department, not Navy.

you think mitski is really underground like that

so this means i have to approve? imagine if it was russia who did all that would you still feel the same?
