The Fermata is a 1994 erotic novel by Nicholson Baker. It is about a man named Arno Strine who can stop time, and uses this ability to embark on a series of sexual adventures. Like Baker's previous novel Vox, The Fermata was controversial amongst critics yet was also a bestseller - Wikipedia It wasn't my cup of tea, but it wasn't offensive to my soul.
This is an unpleasant post to write but I've been researching Maria Farmer, the kidnapped art student detained by Epstein and Maxwell in the Arizona Ranch and threatened with death by marksmen or Dobermans if she tried to escape.
As I was listening to her story I felt she was not telling the complete truth. I'm not saying she wasn't abused by her parasitic hosts, but I felt confused and angry, when I discovered she introduced her younger brothers and sister to Epstein and Ghislaine, despite knowing on the first day of her job something was very wrong, as she had to give Jeffrey a footrub and was later abused by them.
As I scrolled down I quickly discovered most people in the comments, sycophants aside weren't buying her story. I'm publishing them here so you can see that there's something rotten about her story.
Update: Maria was deplatformed from twitter, but not before tweeting the following pic. I don't believe anyone whose raison d'etre on social media was to defend against sexual abuse would post this picture. The video posted above is unavailable but the comments were cut and past from it, and still remain here.
Dez H1 month ago Are you kidding me????? Screw those art supplies! You should have left with your brothers. Death over art supplies? Really? I'll never get past that. 👎
Mike V.1 month ago She totally didn't answer why she went back after walking her brothers to the gate.Did she really say they had all my worldly possessions?? People who are scared for there life don't care about possessions.Its hard for me to take this woman serious now.
world learner1 month ago Why would Maria even bring other members of her family into a situation she was not sure about
Yvette Torres1 week ago I got lost when she said her father came, was at the gate, took the boys, but she went back for her art supplies? This after being assaulted and told there were dogs and snipers? I'm missing something or don't understand the abused control dynamic.
Ivana Tinkle1 month ago I do believe most of her story, the experience can easily warp a person. I've heard her interview with others recently, there are a few details that seem... somewhat fabricated. BUT those details might have needed to be altered (to her) for safety and the shame of what really happened and why.
KRISTINA1 month ago She lost me when she said she didn’t leave with her brothers
mardigrasqueenofthesouth k1 month ago we need more explanation why maria didnt leave with her dad. If she was afraid for her life, she would not have care about any possessions., my opinion
Olicnana1 month ago There’s something off about this. Listen to her without watching the actual video. Something is off.
Mari rodriguez1 month ago (edited) I am sorry but her story does not add up when she says about her brothers and that was her last night , why bring her little brothers and then not leave with them, if it's was so bad with sharp shooters and she would have already known all this if that was her last night there she would have been to Palm beach already and when asked about important people being around she says she is afraid to say any names but then only calls out Trump and Ivanca presumably the most powerful people .I asked God to show me the truth before I decided to comment and thought about it for truth . I am not saying that things didn't happen to her but it does not add up the way she is telling it . If your scared for your life you leave when you get the chance not go back for her things sorry it's not adding up nor her timeline and Why now.. To me it needs to be vetted further
zorroon milkavitch1 month ago also the other confusing point is if she's there against her will and they're doing all this unscrupulous things to her why would they allow her to have her telephone and be able to make calls to anywhere she wanted to call it's just very strange the way this all stacked up but if all this is as nefarious as it all supposedly is then I am very satisfied the Epstein has choked himself pretty well
Minnie Mouse1 day ago If she really wanted to leave she wouldn’t have worried about her art supplies
Andrew Smith1 week ago Don't know why but she sounds quite deceitful and dishonest with her words. Don't get me wrong. I believe that these lot are nonces but she seemed quite happy taking all this money for years and living the high life. I want to see her on a polygraph before I believe a word that comes out her mouth.
Spin Darella1 month ago I don't doubt she was raped and traumatized by being around this evil couple but there are holes all over the place with her account of what happened, I can't point them all out but going back for ur art supplies knowing ur going to be killed don't make sense, being able to phone anyone u wanted to tell them where u were don't sound like what people fixing to kill u let u do, she was free to walk to the gates to leave a hell hole but chose to stay there instead, sounds 🎏 to me.
Matthew Roach1 week ago Why in God's name would you have your little brothers over to these monsters house...🤔
Icecream Headache1 month ago Think about this. She was young, she paid for art school, her art supplies were not given to her. The art teacher was suppose to guide her not manipulate her, jobs were promised and she thought she had to wait it out. She was surrounded by vipers. Les Wexner, Epstein, and Maxwell don’t take care of anyone. Where was Marie’s safe place to fall? Before you say her Dad, remember he sounds like he was absent most of the time. She had no place to be safe.
Darren1 month ago Does anybody actually believe this woman?? Stayed for art supply’s and the whole Doberman/shooters thing.. calling bs on this one..and she fed her sister to these people
zorroon milkavitch1 month ago I don't know why she would give her brothers to her father at the gate but why wouldn't she leave along with them I don't know I guess I do not I'm not catching how this all works
Samantha Gipson1 month ago Why did she go back for art supplies when she'd been assaulted? I don't doubt her story, I just don't understand that part...
Ticia Miller McCloud1 month ago (edited) Samantha Gipson there are lots of holes in her story. I know she was assaulted. However, she is dead wrong about some things. Also, why would she continue to expose her siblings to this. I have been to the wexner home a few times. Also know the "guest house" was gifted to Epstine . Everyone knew that. Less purchased the city of NA and built the village in the late 80s. NA didn't even have a police department when he bought it. He, less, built the entire town. I have said , time and again, yes I remember when she was assaulted and didn't question it. But there is more to this than meets the eye.
It's been around 9 years since I first learned about the degeneracy and concentrated evil that props up Hollywood, or Hollyweird if you wish.
I had an inkling I might see the fall of the magic machine in my life. I hoped that would be coupled with exploding consciousness of the heinous practices that permeate the military, industrial, scientific, congressional and entertainment complex, but it was never a sure bet, and it has been a lonely journey.
Soul crushing for the greater part.
That's all changing now, and while it wont be on the horizon of mass media consumers, it will soon be on their doorstop and impossible to ignore.
I dedicate the Zapatilla track above to Hollywood and more importantly their unconscious consumers who are entertained to death for a wee while longer, as the gravity of how it really works sinks in.
