Nicholas Robert Rekieta / Rekieta "Law" / Actually Criminal / @NickRekieta - Polysubstance enthusiast, "Lawtuber" turned Dabbleverse streamer, swinger, "whitebread ass nigga", snuffs animals for fun, visits 🇯🇲 BBC resorts. Legally a cuckold who lost his license to practice law. Wife's bod worth $50. The normies even know.
I hope hes not notarizing their documents! His notary license is inactive ((based on MNs notary search website Link to MNs notary search)) ((sorry if my formatting is off on mobile and first post))

Man, I still remember a time when Nick spoke at some length, and intelligence, about the suspicious nature of the notary stamp on Tonkasaw's fight documents (and other issues with said documents).
I don't think I'll ever not be weirded out by the transformation Nick went in the years since. If you were around then, you get it.
His notary commission expired in 2011. That was before he was admitted to the bar. My guess is he had it because he worked in a bank. Most bank branches have at least one notary on duty.
Bottom line is whatever he is doing for or with the Imholtes, it can't be that.
I literally copy and pasted his name from the title of the thread ((just the name )). The Robert and all. He shows up if you include inactive notarys in the search.

Curious to know if Nick locked himself out of the room or if someone locked him out. Where was Kayla while Nick was naked and on acid? After all Nick travels with Kayla since he was roofied.
WTF even is this?
There's no way his kid was at the door.
So is he having honest to god hallucinations or is it just a nervous tick because he's trying to end one topic and move on to the next but he's too amped up on uppers to do so properly without being manic as fuck?
Middle age, depression, crisis, realizing that the world isn't what Nick you thought it was... followed by claims about entropy working the "opposite way" as if it were some agent of order (making entropic forces appear more helpful or even desirable).
Basically, Nick is tacitly describing his own struggles while trying to maintain a façade of insight/brilliance for the sake of his ego.
I am clearly in the camp that thinks this behaviour was latent desire within Nick, but less clear myself on what the actual trigger and contributing factors were. The transmogrification appeared sudden to many (self included), and perhaps that is the unanswerable question that continues to fascinate us with so many cows: the 'Why?'
I know this is the most attractive and guilt-assuaging answer (and probably mostly correct), but perhaps it is the optimistic in me that would like to find an inflection point--a clean break--where Nicholas went so... wrong. Why and how did it all work for long enough to take in so many who are now horrified.
I am trying to steer away from the overused clichés of, 'maybe YOU are the real villain!', and, 'Maybe your critique of X means you are secretly X!' These have been done over by hacks and preachy creative such that many overlook the value in reflection upon a brush with the dark things. The rabbit hole (or perhaps more aptly 'sinkhole') goes deep on this one, and it is fascinating to me that so many danced and played on top of it with Nick for so long without falling into it.
Why were so many drawn in? How did it go so long and take in so many diverse people? Would we fall prey to similar again?
As I said, I may be trying to find an answer that does not exist, but my growing horror is only matched by my amazement that we have not seen the bottom of this yet.
Are they, though? Or is this just another simple-to-accept answer?
Without trying to derail too much, does this totalistic viewpoint flow out from a desire to forge a coherent answer from chaos? Maybe even the ethos of the site has some impact: 'Laugh and the world laughs with you; Cry, and you cry alone'.
Are we choosing to write Nick off in the same manner to quell those nagging questions we have in the back of our minds in the same manner we might choose to laugh at cows rather than to be disappointed or offended? Because it makes life simpler?
All reasonable questions. I will try to keep my rambling short. Wish me luck.
Regarding the "trigger" for Nick's downfall, here is a quick breakdown of the mechanics.
The trigger itself would be the innate qualities of a person. The stimulus would be the external factors (social context, family, fame/money, and so on). Another way to look at it would be nature meets nurture. The consequence, in this case, would be self-destructive tendencies.
Counter measures to slavery to one's nature/nurture include critical thinking, self-awareness, and exercising self-control to prevent one's self-destruction. The prospect of self-control (or lack thereof) in particular is the basis for responsibility. To be clear, inasmuch as Nick is self-destructing (meaning no-one else is doing it to him), the responsibility rightfully rests on Nick himself.
As Nick's self-control eroded he predictably began to self-destruct at an accelerated rate. The cleanest "break" would be when Nick decided to throw off all restraint (family, friends, his "old" audience and such) in 2022. This is also when Nick claimed that he is doing some (or all) of this on purpose, but this is far from a controlled demolition. That is just Nick's ego at work, which is also working against him.
So, why did Nick go full-lolcow? Circumstances were such that Nick felt both justified and compelled to display some of his worst innate characteristics. Well adjusted people who might even share these undesirable characteristics generally know well enough to not indulge in them, let alone advertise them so openly. This isn't being a phony, as Nick might suggest. It's called self-control.
Regarding oversight on the part of Nick's audience, you may find the video below helpful (YouTube link). It's about 15 minutes long and features a magician demonstrating cognitive blind spots as it relates to his profession using magic tricks. It might help to illustrate how "magic" it all seems when people can't perceive the "obvious". His sense of humor is pretty dry, but he illustrates his points effectively enough (main points come in around the 8:30 mark):
I bring this up to practically demonstrate how it is possible to overlook the "obvious" (sometimes as if by design) and confuse areas of interest with areas of importance or, to put it another way, confusing simple observation with perception. After all, it's a magician's job to make people filter out what is important and replace it with the extraneous. Some phenomena don't require a magician for that.
These blind spots hold significant influence over people to the point where they are unable to understand or even consistently explain their own behavior, let alone anyone else's. As a result, it can render people incapable of recognizing certain kinds of problem behavior in others and even in themselves.
This also ties into your reasonable observation that "many overlook the value in reflection upon a brush with the dark things". Unfortunately, observation of objectional phenomena (let alone introspection on our own demons) isn't feasible without sacrificing a degree of one's innocence (and possibly one's reputation) let alone the possibility of ultimately succumbing to an unhealthy interest. That said, it can still be done with integrity, and while I cannot advocate people wantonly exposing themselves to dark things, I would encourage others to be skeptical of individuals who are positively biased toward self-destructive behavior.
Regarding your rhetorical(?) question as towhether people will fall for this kind of thing again:
People who limit what they've learned from Nick's behavior to Nick himself risk making the same mistake with others going forward. Additionally, the "simple-to-accept answers" you refer to regarding Nick makes what happened seem obvious. Almost too obvious.
So obvious that people will be prone to thinking they won't fall for something like this again. How could they? The signs are all there plain as day. Surely it would never happen again... That said, the best countermeasure is to attempt discernment to reinforce deductive/predictive reasoning rather than either blind distrust or over-reliance on hindsight. With experience it can become easier to make informed decisions and avoid blanket statements/truisms that can lead to misdiagnosis and poor problem-solving. Seek wisdom and all that...
More to be said (categorizing observed behavior, recognizing/overcoming bias, and gathering relevant alternative perspectives, moral implications, etc.) but this response is getting way too long, sufficed to say that much of what you brought up is related to cognitive blind spots. Yes, the blind spots were always there for Nick and, yes, we all have them to varying degrees as well. If these blind spots can't be overcome, then the least we can do is try to account for them.
Apparently, they do not function in the manner Nick wishes they do. Some basic research suggests that the first butter dish dates to the 1880s, made by a company in Connecticut. As such, this does not yet appear to be another nefarious Scandinavian plot, but further research may be required. Consultation with both ceiling cats is also pending.
When he discussed visiting Rekieta's yesterday, I noticed something: he was talking about how HE was going to the Rekieta's "I know I'm gonna go hang out with Nick and his family..." but then a few minutes later he talks about April as if she was going to be there.
Were they going together? Or were they meeting there?
Curious to know if Nick locked himself out of the room or if someone locked him out. Where was Kayla while Nick was naked and on acid? After all Nick travels with Kayla since he was roofied.
Is he such a pathetic lightweight a little acid got him so out of it he was getting naked, or did he think it was some edgy thing to do? Anyway lmao what a stupid weirdo.

Reached out to my AM source. The story was that Kayla was 'passed out' inside and could not hear Nick. He said it was because they were 'tired' but I suspect drugs if Nick was 'on acid'. No reason to think they were outside of Cecil's story.

Presumably she was conked out on something else. It's all but impossible to fall asleep on acid. Odd for a married couple to be together with one on acid and one not.

I'm assuming he was kicked out of someone else's room, the nudity might have had something to do with it. Who knows, weird shit goes on at these cons but I can see Nick being so eager he weirds out the usual con sexpests.
Sure, but can we also take a moment to appreciate the fact this dumb nigger apparently thought it was a brilliant move to claim somebody is unqualified to be on RADIO because of their weight?
