mk ultra found the social dynamics key to destroying people and making them depressed followers and darpa paid the same test subject young people to build a virtual version of what they had been through. tech progressed until social media emerged as a fully weaponized population control mechanism based around the same hosed up social dynamics.

I thought about something the other day, is there any information about Epsteins life prior to him teaching at Dalton? Who are his parents? Where did he grow up? The only thing I've ever heard about his family is that he had a brother, and that's it.

edit: nevermind wikipedia has his parents names and says he grew up in nyc

Then he named off international bad dudes, "worse than Bin Laden" who were killed by "us", clarifying "us" is "not the CIA"

Who the gently caress is "US" and why doesn't it include CIA?

He goes on, "Buncha Bushies. No offense to the Bush family".

This big wet booster rocket breaking the chains of reality has my vote in the last US election, I'll tell you that much.
