LifeLog was a project of the Information Processing Techniques Office of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). According to its bid solicitation pamphlet in 2003, it was to be "an ontology-based (sub)system that captures, stores, and makes accessible the flow of one person's experience in and interactions with the world in order to support a broad spectrum of associates/assistants and other system capabilities". The objective of the LifeLog concept was "to be able to trace the 'threads' of an individual's life in terms of events, states, and relationships", and it has the ability to "take in all of a subject's experience, from phone numbers dialed and e-mail messages viewed to every breath taken, step made and place gone".

"Landis saw and did something that he has kept secret for six decades, he says now. He claims he spotted a bullet resting on the top of the back of the seat. He says he picked it up, put it in his pocket, and brought it into the hospital. Then, upon entering Trauma Room No. 1 (at that stage, he was the only nonmedical person in the room besides Mrs. Kennedy, and both stayed for only a short period), he insists, he placed the bullet on a white cotton blanket on the president’s stretcher."

The guy's full of poo poo. The bullet they found was on the governor's gurney, not Kennedy's. The bullet had been fired, and impact a soft target such as human flesh. The explanation advanced in this article - that the bullet somehow superficially lodged in JFK's back rather than penetrating through him - is not possible. It's a good example of the razzle-dazzle around the JFK assassination, speculating about the flight path of some extra bullets, rather than the straightforward cause and effect of Allen Dulles hiring Lee Harvey Oswald.

In November 2011, Kutcher received heavy criticism for his tweet in response to the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal, calling the firing of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno "in poor taste". Kutcher subsequently turned over management of his Twitter account to his team at the Katalyst Media company.

I mean maybe I shouldn't be so surprised because we know of things like James C Scott being a CIA operative, and the polio vaccination program in Pakistan being claimed to be a CIA op to sniff out bin Laden, but the impression I'm getting from this book is that the entire profession of anthropology is basically in service of, and cannot be severed from, imperialism, because there wouldn't even be a need to study peoples in the way that anthropology does, if they weren't in danger of getting obliterated by colonialism in the first place

You might want to follow this up with Declared Defective, by Robert Jarvenpa.

He talks about how Teddy Roosevelt's eugenics initiative (which later inspired the Nazis, and revolver around his concern that American "aryan" elites in the Hamptons were being outbred by mud bloods) led to federally funded race science programs in upstate New York and formal sterilisation in other parts of the county.

Most of the book is about a mixed race family of Mohicans who are forced out of their traditional lands and resettle over and over again. The ones who stayed in eastern NY are still stigmatized today as inbred hillbillies and layabouts

“Hi sweetie, I’m here to pick you up for our date! What’s that? No one is home, but I put my hand on the doorknob and looked in to the room, seeing what I would later claim in court was spilled wine on the carpet. Guess I’ll call my rapist Scientologist co-star and walk away without inquiring as to where my girlfriend is on date night.”

Assuming Ashton didn’t murder that girl is even more insane than assuming he did. If the serial killer actually kill her, then poo poo gets even crazier.

I don’t remember if it was in “Programmed to kill” or something I saw discussing it, but serial killers make the perfect assassin. Murder victims raises the question of motive, but a victim of a serial killer is just a random misfortune, like getting struck by lightning. The fact that they also kill random people serves as cover for their targeted murders, and serial killers are definitionally crazy, so no one would believe that someone would deploy them to kill.

So either Ashton killed that girl and blamed it on a serial killer, or she was somehow a random victim of a serial killer and he acted in the most sus way imaginable, or “Mr. IFuckingLoveTheCIA” had some people he could call on to help him get out of a relationship.

this small section closes the loop: the OSS, then Project Phoenix in Vietnam, then HTT in the Middle East. It's a similar cycle you see in Doug Valentine's "The CIA as Organized Crime"

the bit there about an overreliance on "app-based" (my words), gadget-supported approaches also touches on Ukraine and NATO turning the AFU into a force that uses Starlink-connected iPads as a crutch for its unit commanders, to the point where they refuse to use smoke screens because they can't see their own troops from the orbiting drones that they're watching the battlefield through

According to Jane doe 3 from the Masterton trial he went into the house then called Danny and the senior people on that 70s show and they decided the correct play was to act as if he saw nothing, go to the party with Danny and then lie to the police about that evening. She was in the room when Danny had Ashton on speaker discussing it. Wild poo poo.

there's a Netflix series called "Spy Ops", and the episode covers "Operation Jawbreaker", when the CIA sent a cadre of agents into Afghanistan (via Tajikistan) with pallets of cash to bribe the "Northern Alliance" into fighting the Taliban and capturing key points on the road to Kabul ahead of the full invasion

nowhere in the fawning descriptions of Ahmad Shah Massoud or Abdul Rashid Dostum was it ever covered what these guys actually did outside of the fact that they were the anti-Taliban resistance

the second episode is about Operation Just Cause, the US invasion of Panama and the efforts to capture Manuel Noriega... and the narrative barely makes a mention of what the prior relationship was between America and Noriega

does anybody know of a Major General George Bush? as far as I have been able to find there isn't one, unless the other two more well-known George Bush's are completely outshining him

I ask because in one of the latest JFK Assassination doc releases is Allen Dulles's (partial) schedule from 1959 to 1962 (Record No 104-10306-10025)

on October 14, 1961, Dulles's schedule shows a meeting with a Maj Gen George Bush, this is on a day that Dulles is meeting with other Generals including Eisenhower. The date is just over a month before Dulles was ousted by JFK. AFAIK the only other appearance of "George Bush" in the JFK docs is in a memo to J Edgar Hoover that mentions a "George Bush of CIA" being briefed about Oswald. this seems to be the second appearance, but prior to the actual assassination. I reached out to the usual crew (DiEugenio, et al) but wanted to share here lmao
