“I will tear down your corrupt system, even if it’s the last thing I do in my life. I will go all the way—I am not afraid,” she wrote to the First Lady on X. “Maybe you should be afraid of what I know… of who you are, and who your husband is.”

What.

The fuck.

Are you waiting for?

    She recorded an interview with El Pais that is supposed to be released any minute now.

    Edit: Apparently it’s dropping Sunday morning (Spain time)

    Doesn't sound to me like she gave any new details

    What's there is mainly a puff piece with some murky details (like how she was trafficked by Epstein and Brunel) and some unresolved qustions (how Zampolli was able to obtain Grenadan diplomatic status for himself and Ungaro). There's also a big question about how or whether Zampolli was involved in the same kind of trafficking as Epstein and Brunel, since appears to have been on cordial terms with both.

    And there's still no indication of what Ungaro knows or doesn't know.

    The person who didn't care to turn them in at any other point in their life obviously isn't in it for any reason other than themself.

    She's waiting for a payout.

    If it's true information, the motive for disclosing it doesn't matter.

    The delay is discouraging because it means either she's open to payoff to disclose it, or her information isn't really novel or useful and she's just teasing it out like a marketing campaign instead of trying to do real damage because she's got nothing.

    I think for anyone to say this and then not take any legal action should be considered illegal on the same level as aiding and abetting criminals. But then again this is the new normal in the timeline we live where president of the US can boast about destroying a whole civilization.

    “Are you already aware of the situation?” [Ungaro tweeted @ pam bondi]. “Do you fully understand the extent of the information I possess regarding you and the individuals associated with you? I strongly advise you to consider the seriousness of these matters. Any actions taken against me or attempts to escalate this situation could have significant legal consequences,”

    This is the brazillian "model" who was deported at the personal request of her ex husband and father of her child, Paolo Zampolli.

    He is one of trump's closest friends, was close with diddy, worked with epstein, was a "modelling" agency director and obvious sex trafficker. He was the one who procured melania and trafficked her to trump.

    Ungaro is obviously referring to her knowledge of her husband's role in the wider trump-epstein trafficking ring. Her perspective probably sheds a lot of light on melania's role.

    On Melania's role this bit stands out:

    “Something was clearly wrong, but I am not part of any evil mission involving children. So what did you do, Melania? You tried to involve me, but you failed — because I have character.”

    “How are you?” Melania writes to Maxwell in an October 2022 email. “Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania”

    I'll give her a break on that since English isn't her first language. Having said that, she is a horrible human and I'm embarrassed that she and her husband are in the white house.

    My wife started learning English at 14. At that point, she already spoke and write two other languages. She has a slight accent (rolls her R's a bit) but is more fluent than most native speakers-- doing advanced degrees at top-tier UK universities forces you to write and speak well. I ask her to edit my writing when it's something important. Her father, who was a well-off businessman with no formal education beyond secondary school, learned English by watching action movies. He was far more fluent than Melanoma.

    I'll just throw in the name of two other people for whom English was a second language: Joseph Conrad and Vladimir Nabokov.

    Now I don't expect some second-rate Slovene fashion model to be as brilliant as those two, but she's either a particularly slow learner at language acquisition, or never made the effort. Possibly both.

    And she married a rapist of children, a liar, a fraudster and a piece of shit. She knew what she was signing up for.

    I hope she's made the necessary arrangements to distribute the information she has in the event anything "unfortunate" happens to her, she's painted quite a target on her back with these threats.

    Dead man's switches for defensive blackmail are a common plot device in crime novels, but in real life, they're vanishingly rare.

    So the pedophiles’ wife is trying to get in front of the story. However by doing so, she has drawn attention to the story, and has already been caught in a blatant lie. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton.

    I think her being generally quiet and inconspicuous over the past decade was sometimes perceived as savviness with a tiny element of shrewdness to avoid getting involved with Trump’s bs. But this moment reminds us that, no, she’s probably just not very bright.

    The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility, and respect,” she began.

    It's ok, Melania. Your husband lies about everybody.

    Yes apparently rich assholes congregate so when one slights another then we (the plebs) hear the incriminating details because they were personally impacted, but never earlier. Whoever came out is no hero but hopefully their story is heard.

    Do we not see how this caste system sucks? It's not exactly untouchables like some castes but it's a caste system. We are their fodder, the (few) rich get power.

    Now I am not advocating violence but numbers should show who has real power in the world. 3500 billionaires and 8.5 billion people, can't we make it better for the 8.5 billion rather than the 3500?

    Yes, 100% yes.

    This is the only theory that takes into account the absolutely insane ego's of privileged, elite, white women.

    And I know what most of you are immediately thinking. You're thinking you've seen the type come through Starbucks acting all entitled; but that's not it. We're talking about a class of people who wouldn't be caught dead in a Starbucks, and no, they don't go to more upscale coffee shops either. Those, too, are for the "poors". We are talking about the class of people that get their coffee from the attendant at their private, gated, clubs. That is where they spend all their time. They live in a complete bubble, entirely separated from society. They don't get alternative news, they don't get news period.

    I can guarantee the reason Melania made that statement wasn't because of some upcoming leak, or that she was worried about being named, or anything of the sort. It's because her fellow privileged friends in her circle started talking about her. Snide comments about where she came from. Imagine the most popular girl in school making a school announcement that she totally didn't sleep with Bobby Flemming and the only ones making such accusations are jealous whores, where it's clear the only ones she's really addressing is her own social circle that has been making comments about her. That's the level of vanity we are talking about. She doesn't give a shit what people are saying online, but now that her friends are starting to make comments, well now it's something worth addressing.

    If this wasn't blackmail for personal gain, Ungaro would just release everything instead of saying she's gonna do it...

    She was talking to an author that is writing a book that has talked to her, I think by the name of Michael wolf, she is clearly trying to get ahead of it. She threatened to sue him for a billion dollars a couple years ago or something I guess and he countersued.

    I can’t believe all these people are still posting on the nazi platform but anyway: Anthon Andrews appears to be a source very close to what’s about to unfold. https://xcancel.com/anthon7yandrews

    The entire thread is a very wild ride, but the TLDR is: Melania might be compromised too, which would answer the question of “why would any woman go through all the humiliation he sent her through?” Especially the Stormy Daniels stuff. https://xcancel.com/anthon7yandrews/status/1959773483719852091

    This same dude is claiming El Pais will release an interview with Amanda Ungaro this weekend: https://xcancel.com/anthon7yandrews/status/2043011181003076021

    It’s twitter, take it with a fat grain of salt. Amanda seems to have started deleting her tweets. The biggest scope is still that a first lady went to the press on her own initiative without anyone asking or accusing her of anything.
