Is there an Epstein Foundation or anything currently tasked with the rehabilitation of his image. lol

(of course, no rehabilitation necessary since some people always did and still do think he was a great guy)

I don't think subway Jared was in the cabal or associated with it I think he was just an obese pedophile who got a lucky break when he lost a shitload of weight and got media attention, the equivalent of 'going viral' back then, which he smartly used to get himself a brand sponsorship.

Back before he was exposed as a chomo there was a "wacky news" piece about how Jared was the porn king of his college dorm: https://www.tmz.com/2007/05/10/jared-the-subway-guy-college-porno-king/

quote:

Today, he's Jared Fogel the friendly Subway guy. To scores of Indiana U. students back when, he was their in-dorm porno-rental superstore. Eat fresh!

Before he became a poster child for weight loss, the affable Subway spokestool once ran a adult film emporium from his bedroom, reports Best Week Ever. His collection was said to be "vast and extensive," and rental rates were hard to beat -- a dollar a day per vid. "People would come from all over to take advantage of the deal," according to BWE's source.

The same source snitches that the real reason Jared started eating Subway wasn't motivated by health concerns, but sheer laziness. Turns out that Subway happened to open a franchise on the ground floor of his dorm, so it was the closest fast-food joint to Jared's XXX lair.

We called a Subway rep, who said that the company has no knowledge of the story and that Jared was "unavailable." The rep also pointed out that legends have sprung up from time to time about Jared, including one that he'd died.

Now it just makes me wonder what kind of porn he was renting out.

quote:

ALONG WITH A number of politically connected Americans, Hunter Biden’s investment vehicle in China came as a result of a series of deals struck over the last 10 years. In 2008, in the closing days of that year’s presidential campaign, Hunter Biden deregistered as a lobbyist from Oldaker, Biden and Belair, a Washington, D.C., firm he co-founded alongside William Oldaker, a longtime fundraiser and legal adviser to Joe Biden.

The following year, Hunter Biden — along with former Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson Christopher Heinz; Kerry-Heinz family friend Devon Archer; and former Oldaker partner Eric Schwerin — founded several companies using the name Rosemont Seneca.

In 2014, the partners began setting up operations in China. The “RS” in Bohai Harvest RST stands for Rosemont Seneca, and the “T” stands for Thornton Group. The latter group is an international consulting firm based in Massachusetts that was founded by James Bulger, the son of the longtime Kerry ally and former Massachusetts state Senate President William Bulger.

The company, according to the Wall Street Journal, planned to raise $1.5 billion, taking advantage of Shanghai’s free enterprise zone to convert yuan to dollars to be invested in foreign companies. Business registration filings in China list Hunter Biden, Schwerin, and James Bulger as key officials at Bohai Harvest.

Last year, author Peter Schweizer criticized the timing of Bohai Harvest’s launch, claiming that the exclusive deal coincided with negotiations between then-Vice President Joe Biden and the Chinese government.

Renting out porn would necessarily give him pretty good records of his customers' sexual interests. Seems like a good way to start a blackmail ring, y'know?

The Hunter laptop saga is a watershed moment in retrospect because it shows what it looks like when something is deliberately suppressed- not being able to send links or DMs of it and just how it evaporated out of the mainstream news cycle. hindsight is 20/20 but that was a sign that the elites were on board fully for Biden as opposed to letting the story evolve and catch on organically. they literally snuffed it out to help him get elected

they’re also not done censoring hunter stuff, I think. there’s probably a lifetime of poo poo we don’t already know about

anytime ive looked into nutritional science, i come away feeling like this
its unironically unsettling that the more i read about any subject, the less the "official narrative" makes sense about almost all aspects of modern life, no matter how mundane including stuff like what a healthy diet is. even if the og food pyramid could be trusted tho, subway is taking that to the extreme with fast food bread-product atrocity.

u should have known the usda recs were a trick, it was shaped like a pyramid! duh

i find it totally believable that the laptop was a dump, much like the dnc email leak and others, but the contents seem genuine so less its absolutely fake and more its a situation of trying to hide the source. really feels like a chinese internecine conflict to me but who knows, and our media definitely isn't going to dig into it. the whole bit about the dead biden kid keeping his job while on deployment so he could get rich people off of charges on literal baby diddling is pretty awesome too. just quality people, the absolute best, and saying otherwise will get you absolutely shitcanned lmao

I thought I was out of the loop because I couldn't figure out what the software actually did. I am glad no one actually knows but also not glad and extremely curious.

For all the descriptions of PROMIS, all the speculation, all the reporting, no one describes the experience of using PROMIS except in the most vague and general terms; instead "to track people" or "espionage" or "surveillance" stand in and PROMIS as software program fades and seems to be more like a magician's magic hat. PROMIS wasn't magic though, it was a very real thing and was used in many very real applications across the globe. While you can talk about the INSLAW Octopus without discussing some of the finer points of PROMIS, parts of the story will be much more difficult to grasp and important questions, like how and why PROMIS spread, will always be left unanswered.

Then again, I wouldn't be the first person to look into the Octopus and think that they had an original way to consider the story.

taqueso posted:

Thanks, that was a bunch of good background

Appreciate it.

I'll continue from where I left off at in my earlier post: before INSLAW came onto the scene, PROMIS was a known platform for managing and reviewing databases. Importantly, the databases you feed into PROMIS are arbitrary, PROMIS can just as readily be used to track dissidents as it is to maintain a bank's account records or to tag map coordinates. This is why the Justice Department knew of it and also, once INSLAW comes into the picture, why the state intelligence apparatus so quickly grasped INSLAW's edition of PROMIS.

A handful of things came together to make INSLAW's PROMIS such a fantastic tool for the intelligence services:

1. Release of 32-bit minicomputers, which gave a user a lot of power compared to previous generations of computers and for a very good price. PROMIS was a killer app for this platform.
2. Prior existence of digital databases and datastores from 30 years of computing; any edition of PROMIS could only ever be as revelatory as the data that was fed into the system. PROMIS couldn't do anything with a card catalogue of personal details - not digital - but could readily digest past, current, and future information.
3. An expanded network of connected computers (literally the internet) in 1980 as compared to 1975. Both legitimate and illegitimate usage PROMIS could be done remotely and interact with a wide variety of other systems.
4. INSLAW made a great piece of software. By every single account, INSLAW's PROMIS was really, really cool. It was fast, it could handle huge quantities of data, it had an actual user interface (with colors even!), and it could run all sorts of queries across the databases, identify connections, generate reports, and more.

This combination of factors, and many others, all contributed to the intelligence services identifying PROMIS as a tool with enormous potential. At the moment, I don't think INSLAW was setup from the start to develop a piece of software that would be stolen, I think actors within and connected to the justice department encountered PROMIS, saw the value, and communicated with the group who stole PROMIS. INSLAW had done their job all too well and a treasure like this couldn't just go unexploited.

One of the weirdest details about the Finders case to me is that they had portable computers that could connect to the internet and were in constant correspondence in 1986. That had to be expensive. The non-conspiracy take pretty much has to be that the founder is just this rich, connected rear end in a top hat loving around for fun but without ill intent which I guess is possible but doesn't seem likely.

As far as I can gather from the released documents, the computers used by the Finders were portable in the sense that they could be picked up, carried, and deployed elsewhere. The guy who found one of the Finders' computers in a phone booth had to take it home and plug it in before he could do anything with the device. The computers were expensive though, portable versions even more so, and it would take a trained user to use the machines like the Finders are reported to have done. This happens to line up with one of the possible roles of the finders: they literally operated a company who trained the CIA and other government branches how to use computers. The released documents also reference a time that the Finders were suspected of what seems like hacking or tampering with the United States Department of Agriculture. Who knows what the hell they were doing though.

The Finders training spooks how to use PROMIS and hack computers is a realistic proposition.

The impression I got from reading the finders docs (which was awhile ago so might be wrong here) was that the remote operatives had something roughly like a c64 or trs80 and could connect to a central BBS type system with offline mail reading. Pretty high tech for the time but not out of reach for hacker type amateurs.

I think the computer was identified as a TSR model 3, which would make it portable and able to do all the things you've mentioned.

The alien abduction stories sound like a drug like scopolamine ("known to produce loss of memory following exposure" and hallucinations) was used, which I think I found out about through an older Vice video, or other nightshade derived drugs.
"It is one of those drugs with a rich backstory. It is said to be one of the first “truth serums”. In the early 20th century, it was administered by some doctors as a pain-relief drug – or rather a drug that led to the forgetting of pain – in childbirth until one obstetrician noticed how women who had been given it answered candidly to questions; he later wondered if it could be used when questioning people charged with crimes. It was used as evidence in some trials, but dubiously.

Then there are stories of it being used in Nazi Germany as an interrogation tool, and also in the middle ages by witches."
