Remember her?
Crazy shit happens every day but, as Stalin said, a million human deaths comprise a boring statistic while a single human death is a tragedy. The media therefore prefer to roll with one specific case in order to grab and hold our attention, in the hope of transferring our money over to them by tricking our reptilian brains into buying some overpriced truck, toy, or panacea guaranteed to cure angina, acne and long covid.
I’m on to their game so I didn't follow a case that has absolutely nothing to do with me, but the consensus seems to be that caring for a newborn is less fun than women’s reproductive imperative gaslights them into believing it will be, but that while most parents suffer and sigh rather from solving their 24/7 responsibility via infanticide, Casey didn't. Instead she partied, celebrated, and blamed some proverbial one-armed man for the crime.
As with OJ Simpson, the common belief is that she committed murder and got away with it in a court of law.
However, if memory serves, she has a much more rabid and universal hate base than OJ has.
People were upset that OJ’s fame, dream team, and race card may have helped him evade justice but, after all, relationship killings aren't uncommon while the vast majority of women manage to refrain from killing their offspring no matter how inconvenient or annoying they may turn out to be.
I didn't follow the insistent “must see TV” of her trial, but just as today it would be impossible to live in America without hearing about Trump, for a few months (which felt like years) it was impossible to go about your daily life without hearing about Casey Anthony.
In sum, all of my information about her is based on background-noise hearsay mediated by ratings-mongers.
This isn't to say that I think she didn't kill her kid (or help someone cover it up). The popular consensus is accurate most of the time so if you have no skin in the game you may as well accept the popular (if manufactured) consensus - in this case with something like 95% confidence that the common conclusion was right and the courts were wrong.
Being as I have no skin in the game and no fascination with supposed psychos, I’m satisfied with my 95% likelihood that she committed an uncommonly cruel thing and is probably be someone wise to stay away from.
Were I judge or jury I would of course had paid closer attention than to suffice with whatever eyebrow-bloviation was shouted at me that one time I caught 2 minutes of Nancy Grace while flipping channels.
We all understand and agree with the morality expressed by Benjamin Franklin famously on the subject:
That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape, than that one innocent Person should suffer, is a Maxim that has been long & generally approv’d, never that I know of controverted.
But that's not why Casey Anthony chose to follow me today.

To continue for you, dear Supporters, Sponsors and Partners, with the importance of Casey Anthony and why she followed me:
I have the bad habit of scanning the Google News page a few times a week in the statistically silly thought that Google will actually share with me something worth knowing — after all, about once every year or two they do! — and yesterday there were multiple headlines, higher up on the page than anything about Trump… with the essential news that Casey Anthony, a name I hadn't heard in 20 years…had started a TikTok!!
My emphasis is facetious. Had I thought of it, I would have assumed that she’s been on TikTok, Facebook and OnlyFans since the start. But apparently this was HUGE NEWS, and being as this woman is likely the most strongly reviled person in America (see the insane “ADDENDUM” at the end of this article!) as a matter of curiosity, I was interested in hearing what she said.
See, we should be hearing from individuals consigned to America’s scoundrel class.
Some, of course, are not actually scoundrels but the unfortunate victims of either bad luck, propaganda or capitalism’s profit motive.
Others are indeed scoundrels only due to having been in some extraordinarily wrong place at the wrong time and reacting badly to a situation where we ourselves can't know for certain how we would have reacted in their shoes.
And then of course, there are genuine scoundrels, like cold-blooded murderers, toddler rapists, and would-be-terrorists but we all know that for each such person captured and publicized, there are tremendous numbers of people in society who have committed the same sins but either never got caught or never got clout.
I remember quite vividly the first person I ever met who (I knew to have) killed someone.
He was a 19 year old Israeli soldier who killed a definite wannabe-terrorist.
The Israeli soldier was assigned to protect Jewish villagers and a Palestinian with wire cutters had breached the fence. The fence-cutting triggered an alarm and when he ran over there and shouted for the man to stop, the fellow rushed the young soldier with a knife.
It was an obviously justifiable and necessary killing but the soldier who did it felt extreme sadness over having done it. I was a 14 year old kid on his first trip abroad so I said, “Congratulations! You killed a terrorist and saved lives!”
He looked me over in disgust and said. “What congratulations?! I killed a human being!! You don't know anything.” And with that he turned and walked away carrying a feeling of horrible guilt and loss.
From a distance that's the most interesting part of the story, but for me, it was my instant fear and revulsion for the soldier as soon as I heard that he had killed somebody.
My exclamation of congratulations was mathematically and ideologically sincere but also a sort of shocked reaction to someone I suddenly found frightening.
Here was a man who had killed someone. He ended a human life. And while it's true that he did it in self defense while nobly endangering his own life on behalf of innocent families, there's still something uncannily creepy and gross about having a face to face conversation with somebody who has killed another human.
Over the years I’ve gotten over this boyhood reaction. For the simple reason that I have since met many more people who have murdered.
I’ve hitchiked with a fellow who committed a tribal-revenge killing in the wildnerness of Southern Turkey, people have confessed murders to me in various countries, and I’ve spoken with more soldiers and police around the world who have notches on their guns than I can possibly remember. I even attended a Sunday morning church service in Nevada where EVERY ADULT MALE was a drone-bomb operator. They spent their days in sealed containers video-gaming drone deaths every single day.
Oh, and you’ve met murderers too.
Lots of em.
You just don't know it.
Of the 267 million adults in the United States 183,000 of them are presently in penitentiary for murder or manslaughter.
But nearly 1,000,000 other people currently walking the streets of the United States of America have purposely ended the life of another person and are not in prison.
And of those 1 million killers walking among us, some 300,000 were never caught, cuffed or charged - and about half of them were never even sought.
Which is another reason to hear from the scoundrel class.
Because there are a lot of them. And the causes of a sick society’s manifold ills must not be hidden but revealed, discussed, understood, and prevented.
Back to Casey Anthony.
I went looking for what was apparently a personal social media video of such grand importance to the public that Google News trumped it over Zelensky, Congressional budget woes, the latest foods discovered to cause instant death or grant perpetual immortality and - WOW! - even Trump himself.
But I could not find it.
There were thousands of videos by corporate news organizations and “Influencers” with vast followings who shared 7 second clips from her video within some 5 to 55 minutes of “expert analysis” — but the pure product was unavailable.
Or at least not worth searching for as long as would evidently be required.
But - Allah be praised! - the third video I clicked began with some suited and face-painted couple mentioning that she had started a Substack.
I have a Substack!
Alas, while I found her substack quite easily, her video wasn't there either, just a few generic anti-administration “resistance” tweets. I responded to one, and while she has yet to contact me directly — she followed me.
Knowing nothing about her and guesstimating a high likelihood that she's a psychopath or some other sort of premeditated monster, I’m not terribly interested in speaking with her, but if she wants to have a public conversation and can't have it anywhere else, I wanted her to know that I would be game.
Here is my Substack Note.
And here are 2 screenshots.
First, Casey Anthony’s own note and a pretty standard social media comment on it and Casey’s pretty usual social media response to that comment.
Next, the full text of my own letter, ending in an invitation for her to join me for a live broadcast conversation on Yadidya. It's not your usual social media fare, so it's worth reading with your full caffeinated curiosity and attention.
TIP!
My own “Substack Notes” (read: “Tweets”) are mainly just links to my articles for the short-attention-span twitter-set, sent to that ignoble sphere via “restacks” which allow anyone to share articles to their own “Notes” profiles by clicking the perpetual-motion circle under on article.
See how you can do it yourself, here: ⤵️
Some 20% of my “Notes” however are actually full unique comments written in reaponse to articles on other substacks, and which don't appear anywhere else.
You can access, read, ❤️, and comment on them via the Notes link at the very top of this page.
Addendum:
Casey Anthony's presumption of monstrosity is so universal that Claude AI even refuses to spellcheck this very article!
