"Queen of Versailles" Stars" teenage daughter Victoria Siegel dies at 18





The teenage daughter of Queen Of Versailles stars David 80 and Jackie Siegel 49, has been found dead at the family’s luxury Florida mansion.


18 year old Victoria Siegel was found unresponsive by sheriff’s deputies at the Seagull Island mansion on Green Island Cove just after 2 p.m. on Saturday and performed CPR on Siegel. She was discovered by the family housekeeper and was rushed to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, where she was pronounced dead.




The family and their extravagant lifestyle gained international attention after the release of the 2012 documentary The Queen Of Versailles. Investigators are working with the medical examiner to determine cause and manner of death, but it is rumoured  that she died of a drug overdose.



‘The victim’s father has informed investigators that he will be making a statement in the coming days regarding the death of his daughter, and is requesting privacy at this time,’ said Orange County Sheriff spokesman Jeff Williamson.


David Siegel, 80, is the billionaire founder of the timeshare company Westgate Resorts.

He and his wife Jackie gained fame and notoriety after the 2012 release of the documentary Queen Of Versailles which followed their attempts to build the self-proclaimed ‘largest home in America’.


They started the project in 2004 but it was stalled after David’s business was hit by the failing economy, construction is back on and the sprawls 90,000ft and is expected to be complete by 2016.

It has been valued from anywhere between $65 million to $75 million.

Jackie Siegel recently appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap and admitted she doesn’t spend much time with her kids and leave them to be looked after by her large staff. The 18 year is the 2nd oldest of the couple’s 8 children.

NFers reader finds solution to married men cheating ...read her point of view

solution to cheating in marriages


A female NFers reader who says she’s the voice of all cheated women says she’s found the solution to infidelity in marriages. Read what she wrote below and share your opinion…



Writes Emma: 

I have seen and read about a lot of cheating husbands on your blog, a friend of mine even told me that she caught her husband cheating,confronted him and he beat her up. I am a woman and I feel very sorry for all those women who have been cheated and worse still, beaten by their cheating husbands. Initially, I said to myself that I won’t get married becos most marriages (especially Nigerian/African marriages) are fulfilment of societal expectations of families and friends. The nigerian society expects every woman to be in a man’s house, whether or not she finds happiness and peace in marriage is not their business.  However ,I have decided that if I must marry and be happy in marriage, both husband and wife must have equal opportunities in d marriage. I have therefore found the solution to men’s infidelity in marriage.


The solution is OPEN MARRIAGES. Women should be allowed to cheat as well as men. Am not encouraging infidelity,I’m just saying since women have been given equal opportunities in areas of politics,business,education etc they should be given an equal playing field in marriage as well.


It is a fact that men’s sexual urges are insatiable and they blame their cheating on their wives,however, women with high libido whose husbands don’t satisfy should also be free to have sex with other men. Afterall the saying goes “what’s good for d goose is also good for the gander” therefore,if its okay for men to cheat on their wives and still beat them,it won’t be so bad if women do the same. In fact, the world would be a better place and married people would be a lot happier.


Why do men tell their wives they won’t cheat at the beginning then few years after marriage,they eventually cheat ???? Well,Open marriage is not a license to cheat,it is only a caveat/warning to your spouse that “I may cheat and if I do cheat,don’t be angry and feel free to cheat too” becos if u look at the issue critically, everyone is cheating with someone expressly or impliedly. Married men who do erotic texting (sexting)and chatting wit other people and exchange pictures, as well as those who sleep around are all cheaters.


And to those women who console themselves saying “all men cheat” thereby confining and subjecting themselves to a lifetime of avoidable marital slavery, FYI,marriage is a contract btw 2 people and if you’re entering into the ‘marriage contract’ with the thought that d other party(men) would breach the terms and conditions of d marriage, then you should give the men as your own term of the marriage that if its okay for him to be with other women,then the wife can be with other men. Its like a lecturer giving his students an “open book exam” to prevent exam malpractice.


To put an end to the emotional drain,psychological torture and heartbreak drama most women are going through, I say OPEN MARRIAGE is the solution. Infact, the lawmakers should pass a law on open marriages.


Yours Faithfully,

Signed

I AM THE VOICE OF ALL CHEATED WOMEN.

Conspiracy theorists have started on Bruce/ Caitlyn Jenner transformation- Must Read!





Conspiracy theorists have started on Bruce/ Caitlyn Jenner transformation


Caitlyn, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, recently made her public debut as a woman on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine after keeping her gender identity struggle a secret since her childhood. Well, some conspiracy theorists have a weird, confusing explanation for Caitlyn’s transformation.  They have started with Bruce Jenner, turned Caitlyn Jenner. In this article titled ‘The Agenda Behind Bruce Jenner’s Transformation’ published on, Vigilantcitizen.com, the website attempts to explain why Bruce turned to Caitlyn and the explanation is quite scary. Not that I believe it. Read below…


Conspiracy theorists have started on Bruce/ Caitlyn Jenner transformation

Bruce Jenner is now known as Caitlyn Jenner and, for some reason, all media outlets have converged to turn this personal transformation into a massive, all-encompassing media event. Why is that? Because Jenner’s transformation was not personal, it is a planned event meant to support an ongoing agenda.


After the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games, Bruce Jenner was an American hero and was dubbed “the world’s greatest athlete”. He then embarked in a movie and television career, which solidified his near-superhero mystique in popular culture.


After his marriage with Kris Houghton and his involvement with Keeping Up with the Kardashians, most of that mystique was gone. He was part of the Kardashian experiment, the family that was built by mass media and for mass media, from absolutely nothing, to monopolize the attention of masses. From sex tapes to relationship rumors to butt pics that are supposed to “break the internet”, celeb marriages, and young girls becoming sexualized at a young age, the Kardashians constantly seek media attention for all kinds of purposes. Bruce Jenner’s story is yet another chapter in that story. And, like most of the “events”  involving the Kardashians, Jenner’s transformation was meticulously planned with perfect mass media coverage to gain worldwide attention.


Before I go further (and because some people like to put words in my mouth), I need to emphasize that I do not think that all transgenders are “evil” nor that they are part of a sinister Agenda. If one feels more comfortable and happier living as the opposite sex, well that’s their business and not mine. As a staunch proponent of true freedom, I will never judge a person who took a personal decision to live a better life. Bruce Jenner’s sex change, however, was everything but personal. It was an orchestrated media event, blown-up to proportions so large that it has been turned into a grand ritual, a staged ceremony meant to push an agenda.


Following the Script


Like the rest of the Kardashians, Bruce Jenner’s fame in 2015 (almost 40 years after winning his gold medal), is solely due to mass media keeping him famous. In other words, he is famous because he’s famous. And he stays famous because the elite is using his family to push an agenda.


In 2013, I published an article entitled The Kardashian 2013 Christmas Card: A Tribute to the Illuminati Entertainment Industry, where I analyzed a highly symbolic Christmas card created by David Lachapelle – a fashion photographer who is no stranger to the MK-Ultra based entertainment industry. That Christmas card was somewhat prophetic.




Conspiracy theorists have started on Bruce/ Caitlyn Jenner transformation

The Christmas card features Kardashians posing in a deserted movie theater that is replete with imagery representing the true role and the true fate of that made-for-showbiz family.

Bruce Jenner, the only male in that photo, is the only one in that is not posing fashionably. Quite to the contrary, he is imprisoned in the cashier’s booth, which looks like a giant test tube.


Conspiracy theorists have started on Bruce/ Caitlyn Jenner transformation

Stuck in a what looks like a giant tube, Bruce Jenner is gazing at statue that is wearing a gold medal – but that is also dismembered. That statue clearly represents Bruce’s past self, which was, since then, broken  and symbolically dismembered. Jenner is now trapped in the tube that is show-business, like some kind of lab rat.


His daughters, who were about 15 at the time, were also depicted in a near prophetic matter.

Kylie and Kendall Jenner posing in front of an Illuminati pyramid which strongly hint that they’re owned by the occult elite’s system.

Since 2013, the Jenner sisters have indeed been fully integrated the Illuminati system, fully pushing ongoing agenda of sexualizing minors.

The sisters often pose while doing the One-Eye sign, confirming that they’re owned by the system.

In this picture, the sisters are holding the hands of two invisible, “shadowy” men, representing the sinister unseen handlers controlling their lives.

So, not unlike Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the actual lives of the Jenners are mostly scripted. Caitlyn Jenner is also part of the script.


Perfect Media Storm


After his divorce, Bruce Jenner could have silently stepped out of the spotlight and lived his new life in relative privacy. But the exact opposite happened. Caitlyn saturated all major media outlets in a carefully orchestrated media storm. Here’s what happened in the span of a few weeks.

Speaking of courage, in a rather absurd, almost forced, media move, Caitlyn Jenner will be receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award during the 2015 ESPY Awards in July 2015. Caitlyn’s “courage” was deemed superior to Lauren Hill, a college athlete who played basketball despite an inoperable brain tumor and who died earlier this year.


There is more: Caitlyn will be the subject of her own reality show … expect a whole lot of magazine photoshoots.


The Hidden Agenda


As stated above, Jenner’s transformation was not intimate nor personal. It was a grand, ceremonial, ritualistic event that symbolizes a change in society as a whole. An important part of the elite’s agenda is to debase, confuse and mix up the natural, harmonious order of things. It is about steering away from what is real, pure and authentic to move towards to the fake, artificial and the constructed. For this reason, there one aspect of the Agenda that is becoming increasingly apparent : The feminization of the male and the masculinization of the female. Under the guise of “empowerment”, men who act like females and females who act like men are not only accepted, but celebrated. I personally do not have a problem with that. I DO have a problem with the other side of this agenda: Men who act like traditional men (and do not feel the need to apologize for it) are now portrayed as evil and wrong. And, all of a sudden, portraying a stay-at-home mom who takes pride in cooking for her family is considered “sexist”.


In other words, it is about a complete reversal of gender roles. Simply by looking at our genetic make-up and the behavior of most mammals, one can observe that males are engineered to hunt, provide and protect while females are made to “nest”, care and nurture, While modern living has made these traits less dominant, they are nevertheless part of our core being. And mass media is heavily focusing on promoting the exact opposite of this. It is about the attacking the mind with messages that conflict with our natural inclinations. If you look at what is happening right now in mass media, you have, on one side, the head of the Kardashian family putting on makeup and wearing dresses while, on the other side, you have Taylor Swift training for combat with big weapons, with a gang of tough, violent women (see the video for Bad Blood).


While Jenner is an all-American product, Europe also went through its ritualistic, transgender event.




Conspiracy theorists have started on Bruce/ Caitlyn Jenner transformation
Conchita Wurst was the winner of Eurovision 2014. To further confuse everybody in the world (including other transgenders) Conchita wears a beard.

The above image of Conchita, with the strategically placed antlers, alludes to the lesser-known, esoteric part of the Agenda. In occult secret societies, the highest stage of illumination is achieved through the internalization of duality and the equilibrium between opposing forces –  good and evil, active and passive. male and female. This concept is symbolically represented by the horned, hermaphrodite god Baphomet. It is also represented in alchemical symbolism such as the Alchemical Androgyne :




Conspiracy theorists have started on Bruce/ Caitlyn Jenner transformation
“The symbol reproduced above is from a rare edition of the Turbæ Philosophorum published in Germany in 1750, and represents by a hermaphroditic figure the accomplishment of the magnum opus. The active and passive principles of Nature were often depicted by male and female figures, and when these two principle, were harmoniously conjoined in any one nature or body it was customary to symbolize this state of perfect equilibrium by the composite figure above shown.” (Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages).

Of course, the concepts above are meant to be interpreted in an esoteric and spiritual context where the human soul transcends its physical shell. However, today’s elite is bent on twisting and corrupting occult concepts, using its inherent powers for sinister purposes. Therefore the concept of equilibrium has turned into a unhealthy obsession on transgendered media pawns.


In Conclusion


Because, simply touching on the subjects I discussed above leads to unwarranted accusations of sexism, “transphobia” and whatnot, I feel the need to emphasize one point: This article is not against transgender people who decide to make a change because it makes them happy. It is against the exploitation of transgender people to push an Agenda.

The Caitlyn Jenner story was orchestrated to bring specific concepts to the forefront, notably the complete reversal of gender roles. Although the elite’s occult teaching are about complete equilibrium, they want the masses to be completely out of balance. That’s how you keep them confused and malleable.
