psychology seems like economics, a quackery cudgel for the upper class to beat everyone with.

naaah

it's different that there has been appropriation of psychology to reproduce ideology (but then again, this is what capitalism does) but, for example, psychoanalytic psychotherapy has an explicitly Marxist line about helping patients and/or analysands into consciousness, especially after Lacan

The goal of Marxist philosophy - to make us into people that know their place and time in history and thus can act in it - ties together a lot with the psychoanalytic approach of personal recovery of their history. This process associates in quite a neat way into Marxism, as it deals with the subjective part of own's personal history but anchored in the material facts. Understanding how material circumstances has made one's father a piece of poo poo, for example, allows one to translate the same experience in a structural way. In recognizing the suffering brought by the personal experience, by tying together a consequential history of the fact, the patient/analysand can then recognize how everything in their life has a history, how they are history themselves. They realize the historical materialism in their lives and around them.

I don't think it's mere coincidence that in the late 50s and through the 60s there has been a massive push in American psychology to go towards behaviorism and away from psychoanalysis, as that was around the time where the latter started to become really influenced by Marxism and also contributing to it

quote:

I never worked in intelligence but if you work in communications at my level, you keep meeting people who did.

In today's intelligence world, Bond would be considered a serious security risk and for very good reason. 1/

Back in the 1970s, the KGB developed an agent (i.e source, Bond is an operative, not an agent) recruitment process whose imprint can be clearly seen in the backgrounds of the men at the center of Brexit, Trump's election and more (aFD, Golden Dawn, etc.) 2/

Imagine a sales funnel for recruiting traitors. You start off by sending a pretty girl (boy) like Maria Butina into a cocktail party. Her job is to report back the names of every man who grabs her butt to her handler /3

The young men, early 20s who are on the list of #metoo types are approached by a second operative who decides if they are likely to be any use. In sales terms, qualifying the account. 4/

The selected targets are introduced to a person who will encourage them to engage in increasingly depraved activities. When they are ready, this person passes them on to the closer. 5/

The closer is a 12 year old. And lest you think I make it up, I have seen evidence of very young members of the Soviet Komsomol youth league receiving extraordinarily high honors. 6/

In a variation of the scheme, the closer is rather older and engages in a sex game. Only when the Tory MP is dressed up and munching on his drug soaked orange, she holds the bag on tight instead of releasing it as supposed to. 7/

The number of potential traitors this process created was likely in the thousands. Only some of them would be used for espionage of course. Most would be used simply to help advance the positions of the other assets. Some held in reserve 8/

Look into the backgrounds of the men at the center of Brexit. Every single one accused of rapey stuff in court papers. Look at the men in Russiagate, same. All three of the spokesmen for WikiLeaks. 9/

Same in 'journalism'. The men trying to tell us that it is absurd to think the Skripals were poisoned by Russian agents all have such rapey pasts when you look into them. So do many of the (male) leaders of nationalist/separatist groups in the EU. 10/10

No names jump out at me. It's interesting though, some of the threads there. Here is the list, from your post, so it's easier to follow:

1. Obviously the persons we'd do best to follow up on are Jin Ding, Rebecca Bond, Zack Malitz since they are involved with two shells.
1a. None of these PACs or funds are mysterious except: CREDO SuperPAC and Green Advocacy Project
1b. CREDO SuperPac:


https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/credo-mobile-super-pac/C00507517/summary/2016

As you can see, no contributions to federal candidates. The image is from "2016" in the dropdown. Their last report was Dec 1 2015 and they disappear thereafter. Note that it says "Industry: Telecom/cell". CREDO Mobile is a Verizon arm that provides regional cheap cellphone plans (a la Boost Mobile, e.g.) so we can reasonably conclude this PAC's intent is to lobby on behalf of Verizon, yes? Well, probably. If you click through to opensecrets.org you'll see they never made any contributions to federal candidates but they are reporting expenditures - so it's one or both things: it's a passthrough PAC to get the right people (PAC employees) paid out or all their spending goes towards media propaganda. But there's a small snag:

1c. Green Advocacy Project.



So we can reasonably conclude that CREDO SuperPAC wanted to get operatives paid and ditto Green Advocacy Project, just with two different ostensible reasons for existing. It's also useful to know that Rebecca goes by Becky, should make further look-up a little simpler. Jin Ding and Elijah Zarlin didn't get the invite to jump from CREDO to Green Advocacy Project so we'd do well to follow up on them also to see where they did end up or else what reason exists for their exclusion. Michael Kieschnick was at Middle Seat as well as CREDO and Green Advocacy Project but has no apparent connection to Bernal Alto or Middle Seat, unlike the two other board members? Would be good to ask why that might be and why nobody else on that Middle Seat list there ended up at Green Advocacy Project.

2. Beto and Uyghur just got spookier.

3. Looks like this group/s were keen on anti-Brexit stuff. Not surprising. The only people who wanted to split the imperial bloc are commies and New Money conservatives.
CREDO is an MVNO that's a division of Working Assets and donates to progressive causes http://www.workingassets.com/Recipients.aspx. They just piggyback on Verizon's network..

I don't know how complete the Bernal Alto list is is far as employees, and I don't know how complete the list of associated organizations is for anyone on the list. I had to piece it together from public records, LinkedIn profiles, and peoples profile blurbs on a few websites.

I think I found the reason Real Justice PAC gave to Bernal Alto and it's slimy.

https://medium.com/@shaunkingfinancialreivewboard/shaun-king-financial-report-318661d97125

According to Bond, it was agreed from the beginning that Real Justice PAC and Action PAC won't pay Shaun King for his fundraising work. His $50,000 salary has always been paid by Bernal Alto or The Social Practice.

quote:

Today the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) released the summary of a technical finding of the substance that allegedly injured Sergej and Yulia Skripal.

The British state media BBC headlines: Russian spy poisoning: Nerve agent inspectors back UK

The report itself does not holdup to the headline claim:

The international chemical weapons watchdog has confirmed the UK's analysis of the type of nerve agent used in the Russian ex-spy poisoning.

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons did not name the nerve agent as Novichok, but said it agreed with the UK's findings on its identity.

The British government accused Russia as having caused the incident with a 'nerve agent'. In no way does the OPCW confirm any of those claims. Its press release only states:

The results of the analysis by the OPCW designated laboratories of environmental and biomedical samples collected by the OPCW team confirm the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical that was used in Salisbury and severely injured three people.

Some unnamed 'toxic chemical' was found by Porton Down and the OPCW confirmed that Porton Down was correct in its chemical analysis.

Neither in its press statement nor in its public Summary Report (pdf) does the OPCW speak of finding a 'nerve agent'. But what is this 'toxic chemical'? Saxitoxin, a natural poison that causes Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) which would be consistent with the symptoms the Skripals showed shortly after eating a Risotto Pesce with mussels? Or some artificial agent designed as chemical weapon? Neither the OPCW nor Porton Down will say.


The BBC continues:

The OPCW does identify the toxic chemical by its complex formula but only in the classified report that has not been made public.

Early involvement of the OPCW, as demanded by Russia, was resisted by the British government. Only on March 14, ten days after the incident happened and two days after Prime Minister Theresa may had made accusations against Russia, did the British government invite the OPCW. Only on March 19, 15 days after the incident happen did the OPCW technical team arrive and took blood samples.

Nowhere does the OPCW support the British claims of a 'Novichok' nerve agent nor does it support the British accusations made against Russia.
