"Yu Yevon" is actually the lost correct pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton, few know this

wikipedia has a couple pages on it, it claims "ישוע"

that spelling is also hebrew for "salvation" which fits the theme. there's also a more modern spelling "ישו" pronounced ye-shu.

I just think the idea that the CIA operates as a fully rogue agency that not only doesn't care if their aims align with broader American goals but actively undermine broader American goals solely to expand their drug empire is pretty weird. Like we know the CIA and Pentagon do end up at cross purposes sometimes, so there are clearly disagreements about methods, but while the CIA has definitely flouted congressional oversight, I really don't see them as a shadowy cabal totally unaccountable to the rest of the executive branch. Why would the rest of the government tolerate that? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I don't believe the official story, but I also don't believe the CIA did it. I believe they tried and failed, but someone else succeeded and they have no idea who and all the weird obfuscation over the years has been specifically to cover up that last bit.

Being the VP of a hugely popular former president doesn't even have a very good track record for success. It only worked for Biden because of COVID; before that the last time it worked I was 1 year old and GHWB was so obviously terrible he didn't have a prayer at a second term. And Biden is not looking like he's gonna have Obama's approval rate by the time he's done, especially if he's done early
the important thing is that the primary will be a formality and she will definitely be the democratic candidate

whether she wins is kinda immaterial

If they had done this during the campaign Joe wouldn't have won. He was a complete lunatic rambling out nonsensical debate answers and CNN/MSNBC created his entire persona, platform and all, and told everyone this is who the man was.

the dems got exactly the candidate they wanted.

the problem is what they wanted was a loving republican.

My personal pet theory is it was just hubris of knowing Lee Harvey Oswald was out there but counting on him to miss, which would've lead to a, "See, you need us after all!" in the wake of Bay of Pigs and poo poo. Turns out our trained sniper was actually good though, and suddenly the narrative is going to be, "A Soviet sympathizer just killed the president and rules of engagement might require us to have a hot war with the USSR," so they got their personal onlooker Jack Ruby to silence him real quick.
