    Update:

    Some answers are becoming available. Bus crash did involve children but was considered minor. Giuffre went home before going to the hospital. Apparently she felt alright at first but then started having issues. The police did not go to the scene or I’m sure they would have insisted she gets treatment based on the bruises.

    If the driver was a hired assassin, he did a shitty job and just got lucky, apparently. I’m thinking for now that scenario is incredibly unlikely.

      It sounds like she got a case of Rhabdomyolysis from getting so bruised up. Hard to say how bad it really was. Rare to have that happen with relatively minor blunt trauma but not unheard of.

    Since when is renal failure a death sentence? We can keep people alive for decades without even having kidneys with regular hemo-dialysis machines. Kidney transplants are super common too.

    I assume there are other significant injuries that aren’t fixable?

      I’m sure it was a misunderstanding in education regarding how soon you’d die without dialysis. That or she’s refusing. In truth she wouldn’t likely die in that short of timeframe even without dialysis. But I figure that’s the hard deadline the doctors gave her to decide before she starts experiencing significant problems that may preclude her from changing her mind. Generally if you’re 4 days away from dying of kidney failure you have encephalopathy from uremia so bad that you’re not going to be making coherent social media posts. I’m not a fan of the fact that even the BBC ran this story uncritically.

      I presume it’s 4 days to live without medical intervention. The article quotes her father as commenting:

      “Virginia my daughter, I love you and [am] praying for you to get the correct treatment to live a long and healthy life.”

      It could definitely be true that doctors said she’s got 4 days to live … without dialysis. That could have been made clearer in the article. I suspect someone is being a little overly dramatic - to be expected of headline editors and to be forgiven of a recently car-crashed victim of sex trafficking.

      It’s an odd story at first read, including this bit:

      Her father, Sky Roberts, commented on the post and said: “Virginia my daughter, I love you and [am] praying for you to get the correct treatment to live a long and healthy life.”

        It’s a really really odd story. The article says that the accident was a minor crash, and that her vehicle sustained A$2000 worth of damage.

        There’s no way getting hit buy a bus going 110Kph doesn’t total your vehicle. And if it was just a glancing blow, how do you go into renal failure from what’s basically a fender bender? Severe whiplash maybe?

        Perhaps it’s just my armchair traffic injury analysis that’s way off base, but it just seems to me like there’s more to this story.

      Set up. A crime ring owns the world and creates a conspiracy of the deep state. The followers of the deep state conspiracy are manipulated by the same “deep state” they claim to be against. Just like gangstalking. The perpetrators of gang stalking release the conspiracy info. There’s truth in the things spread but they put lies in the info to make the conspiracy followers look crazy. For instance they say gang stalking is done by a hybrid alien race. They entice people with half truths, even if it’s about themselves, and add bullshit to make people look unbelievable.

      Crime is intertwined from the bottom to the top and all institutions are compromised.

      The only option is to burn it all down and go to war making sure no criminals remain intact as we rebuild.

      Humanity over everything. Psychological warfare. Hand to hand combat is is old fashioned. We are living a psychological guerilla war.
