Until the election shone a gamma ray spotlight onto all of... this, Trump was just a white noise, big city rich guy, famous for being rich and bombastic, in an aspirational sorta way. He was poor people's idea of a rich person and absolutely no more critical thought was ever committed to the matter.

Just finished reading CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the 60s, and I'd recommend it heartily for this thread. The book reveals that Manson was in possible contact with a researcher receiving funding for MKULTRA experiments involving amphetamine and LSD (the same drugs involved in the Tate murder) and so I've been wondering just what exactly the gently caress was going on and if it could have any relation to the Epstein thing, given that Manson and Epstein have a similar MO.

Now im not saying Epstein is exactly like Manson, but I wonder if techniques the CIA learned during MKULTRA were perhaps more useful than they claimed and sort of helped shaped the method Epstein used to gather together his harem. Like Epstein didn't use drugs to influence his victims, but from the looks of it maybe obscure rituals served that purpose just as well. I don't know. I'm losing my mind, probably. But it seems like maybe there's a method for building complacency in female subjects dependent on the psychedelic coercion of women (either thru ritual drug use, or just ritual).

Again, im not sure. This is probably the manifestation of that ep-brain thing that keeps getting mentioned here. My third eye hurts, I'm taking a nap.

sorry i shouldn't have conflated the ops names, but Phoenix wasn't the only program the CIA was running in Vietnam, it was just the old tried and trued approach of kidnap and kill. Contemporaneous with it was Project Agile, which involved technological approaches to both counterinsurgency and the collation of massive and growing intel files. Operation Igloo white (an attempt to bug the entirety of the Ho Chi Minh trail by dropping microphones and receivers all over it) and Operation Ranch Hand (largescale defoliation via Agent Orange and the other colours) both came out of Project Agile.

RAND was contracted to oversee much of the tech side of it, including developing systems to analyze battlefield data but also transmit it wirelessly elsewhere in the world.

Ah that makes way more sense. Gonna read up on it.

^^^^ making it impossible for an abused child to escape isnt exactly hard if you're evil enough. Also helps that Epstein was a billionaire.

Like chanting and poo poo doesnt measure up to anything near destroying a developing person's sense of themselves, and instilling that they dont have any options other than their abuser.

Epstein's go-to move was "I can get you a photoshoot with Victoria's Secret" *immediately strips naked and lays down, lets nature take it's course*. I don't think complicated mind-control or bizarre rituals were required here.

All that stuff is wild to consider, but don't discount that a mundane cycle of psychological abuse, dependency, and normalization might be in itself ritualistic.

Also you might be interested in the TrueAnon podcast's interview with Maria Farmer, a victim.

True. It just seems to me if that Epstein was some sort of intelligence asset then he might have some access to the methodology developed by research like Mkultra. I mean, if he was just as mundane as that maybe that's a testament to mkultra actually being a wash, but I dont know, some Manson girls claim to this day that they can't get Manson out of their head. So if the techniques were successful to any degree, Epstein NOT using them wouldnt make sense.

I'll check out that pod, thanks.

Unless Manson was def just part of Operation Chaos and was basically enabled to his end by intelligence agencies in order to discredit the 60s movement. In that case Epsteins mundane abuse makes sense. The banality of evil and all that.

until my copy of programmed to kill comes in and i travel down a road i can't go backwards on, i still believe MKUltra succeeded in elaborating on torture that left its victims cognitively destroyed, including forcing dissociative identity disorder, particularly on younger victims. I am still pretty skeptical as to whether or not MKUltra ever had the capacity to build a personality back up afterwards. I know of the letter in CHAOS from Jolly to Gottlieb that suggested he had successfully brainwashed someone, and the growing number of testimonies from terrorists and killers in which they believe that they must have dissociated during their crime (the most recent I can think of was one of the boston bombers, I believe), but I'm still doubtful

Rocket Lab’s new board member headed the CIA’s venture capital firm and is a proponent of deploying high-powered laser weapons in space.

Michael D. Griffin, who was until recently an Under-Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration, was welcomed onto the board of the aerospace and small satellite company in August.

The 70-year-old aerospace engineer and physicist has had a colourful, glittering and at times controversial career in the space industry.

In the 1980s he held a senior role in then-president Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defence Initiative ballistic missile defence programme, and later headed NASA.

I think the child abuse is just child abuse, I don't think Epstein actually has magical or psychic powers beyond "You can let me rape you and perhaps someday you can be an underwear model once you're old enough to sign a legal contract, or you can be followed for the rest of your life and your pets or family members might start dying, your choice! Don't bother going to the cops, they work for me. Say, you have a little sister too, right?" Those are terrifying powers, but not supernatural ones.
The actual "ritual" part of the predators' sexual abuse of children was there for the abusers' amusement/gratification/bonding with each other. If you've seen the island and the temple on it, you loving know they were Bohemian Grove-ing it up.

I’m sure it’s just one small part of something that came far before, but in the early 20th century Walter Lippmann debated with John Dewey about how a democracy must be run. they both agreed that society had gotten too complex for citizens to act in their own best interest, in part because it would be impossible for them to understand everything important that needed legislating. Lippmann’s solution was to introduce a panel of experts who were smart and would do all the tough deciding for citizens who could stay dumb. Lippmann and Edward Bernays furthered this approach by promoting the use of propaganda to allay citizen concerns about politics and get them to support technocratic decisions, most famously in the Creel Commissions incredibly successful propagandizing of the American public to enter ww1, something they did want at all originally.

C Wright Mills's "The Power Elite" also goes into this topic of that section of "middle managers" of society that steer it, outside of the actual democratic will that's supposed to do the steering.

Going a little farther afield from the notion of the "Deep State" specifically, it's always been a thing in anarchist ideology that the nomination of various executive/cabinet departments essentially creates an unelected government.

Igloo White also played a major role in the development of Silicon Valley as it was the fixed price contracts that both incentivized development of cheaper electronics but then gave the companies massive profits when they did. Spending millions in 70s dollars on disposable radio transmitters gave a big kick start to the consumer electronics industry and lithium battery research.

GLADIO is also tied into this in the form of the development of advanced radio sets (look up "Harpoon radios") that were needed for the various stay-behind networks to be able to contact each other in the field without the use of any commercial/public communications.

I read this cover to cover on a 14 hr plane ride in November and felt completely dissociated when I stepped off. The ritual stuff always felt kind of secondary (tertiary?) to the abuse/preying on women with no support networks but there are a lot of weird similarities in the gaps in their stories. That year Charlie spent in SFO at that clinic always gives me an echo of Epstein's time teaching math at that academy before his poo poo really kicked off.
