OK, what the gently caress is going on in the scene over the bed? It looks like angels kneeling besides the body of Christ in a tomb, Mary(?) looking like she's about the wow the crowd by sawing him in half, and there's also a disembodied head for some reason?

I'm aware that that isn't what's happening here, I was thinking of the "pre-crime" units that harass innocent individuals until someone in their community shoots them for being a cop.

My theory is that he was compromised by a Russian or Israeli spy (he was on the House Intelligence Committee)with one of his affairs, and when Chandra got pregnant she threatened to spill the beans if he didn't support her, and got killed by someone cuz of it.

What's up with the who fentanyl laced coke thing.

I understand cutting fentanyl into heroin to stretch supply. Why is it ending up in coke? Is it actually happening a lot, or is it just hyped up by social media?

It's cartel competition, CIA being a (though dominant) cartel. The media reports aren't overblown but they're not particularly ghastly or blaring either. If you can carry Narcan you should- even if you don't use you might be friends with someone who might. And trust me you might not know they do.

Someone said it's dealers who work with both products not cleaning off their scales between baggings. I guess that would be the Occam's Razor account but I don't buy it, dealers are usually careful not to kill their clients (except most heroin dealers) (so why wouldn't they kill off their coke users if they sell dope? Dopeheads are... don't know how to phrase this but if someone ODs from a batch most of them will rush to get their hands on that batch, providing incentive for dope dealers to sell a "bomb" bag or two; they're two different customer bases).

I’m wondering how those supply chains are going. the boats and planes aren’t going around as much. it’s been hard to get ahold of some pretty common stuff like rubbing alcohol, so disruptions to manufacturing seem likely. any knowledge?

schwag is gone in texas, cheap ditch weed shipped from mexico is over. i'd assume clandestine shipping is about the same as before frankly. the domestic drug industry is going bonkers, i'm seeing molly and lsd more than ever before but i'm not around coke or heroin. i work in a hotel so i see a fuckton of meth and can tell usage has gone way up since feb 2020 when the world ended. we flush a ton each month

every time, this brings the "this is evil" alarm at full strength. reminds me of one of freud's best commentaries

Sigmund Freud, The Uncanny posted:

It is only rarely that a psychoanalyst feels impelled to investigate the subject of aesthetics even when aesthetics is understood to mean not merely the theory of beauty, but the theory of the qualities of feeling. He works in other planes of mental life and has little to do with those subdued emotional activities which, inhibited in their aims and dependent upon a multitude of concurrent factors, usually furnish the material for the study of aesthetics. But it does occasionally happen that he has to interest himself in some particular province of that subject; and then it usually proves to be a rather remote region of it and one that has been neglected in standard works.

The subject of the “uncanny” is a province of this kind. It undoubtedly belongs to all that is terrible—to all that arouses dread and creeping horror; it is equally certain, too, that the word is not always used in a clearly definable sense, so that it tends to coincide with whatever excites dread. Yet we may expect that it implies some intrinsic quality which justifies the use of a special name. One is curious to know what this peculiar quality is which allows us to distinguish as “uncanny” certain things within the boundaries of what is “fearful.”

[...]

Two courses are open to us at the start. Either we can find out what meaning has come to be attached to the word “uncanny” in the course of its history; or we can collect all those properties of persons, things, sensations, experiences and situations which arouse in us the feeling of uncanniness, and then infer the unknown nature of the uncanny from what they all have in common. I will say at once that both courses lead to the same result: the “uncanny” is that class of the terrifying which leads back to something long known to us, once very familiar. How this is possible, in what circumstances the familiar can become uncanny and frightening, I shall show in what follows.

[...]

Let us take the uncanny in connection with the omnipotence of thoughts, instantaneous wish-fulfillments, secret power to do harm and the return of the dead. The condition under which the feeling of uncanniness arises here is unmistakable. We—or our primitive forefathers—once believed in the possibility of these things and were convinced that they really happened. Nowadays we no longer believe in them, we have surmounted such ways of thought; but we do not feel quite sure of our new set of beliefs, and the old ones still exist within us ready to seize upon any confirmation. As soon as something actually happens in our lives which seems to support the old, discarded beliefs, we get a feeling of the uncanny; and it is as though we were making a judgment something like this: “So, after all, it is true that one can kill a person by merely desiring his death!” or, “Then the dead do continue to live and appear before our eyes on the scene of their former activities!”, and so on. And conversely, he who has completely and finally dispelled animistic beliefs in himself, will be insensible to this type of the uncanny. The most remarkable coincidences of desire and fulfillment, the most mysterious recurrence of similar experiences in a particular place or on a particular date, the most deceptive sights and suspicious noises — none of these things will take him in or raise that kind of fear which can be described as “a fear of something uncanny.” For the whole matter is one of “testing reality,” pure and simple, a question of the material reality of the phenomena.

I'm a small chunk into the huge A Terrible Mistake by H.P. Albarelli Jr. about Frank Olson (popularly cited in the thread before as some of the only evidence of US intelligence involvement in the Pont-Saint-Esprit ergot mass poisoning event) and I have to say I'm pretty blown away. Tons of details that clarify a whole lot. Highlights so far include Dr. L. Wilson Greene giving a 1952 Chem Corps conference presentation to push for psychochemical warfare against entire cities. Greene was inspired to the idea of "bloodless" psychochemical warfare by the letters of Dr. Alsoph H. Corwin, a chem prof at Harvard with a history of working for National Defense Research Committee (WW2) and who had developed a chemical treatment for corrosion that helped restore the Dead Sea Scrolls. Greene had developed a list of 1000 potential chemicals by '52 and LSD was at the top of the list (due to experiments having already begun) with a proposed route of administration being aerosolization via a technique pioneered by Major/psychiatrist/allergist Harold Abramson for Edgewood Arsenal back in '43 (didn't know Abramson was in back then nor why he is always referred to as an allergist).

Operation Skatole, a project by secretive Division 19 of the National Defense Research Committee to make the worst poo poo smell in liquid form possible. Tested by giving children in Japanese-occupied cities tiny tubes of it and having these kids squirt it on the rear end of passing Japanese officers. Less funny, Division 19 oversaw much of the intelligence alliance with the Mafia before that was taken over by SOD/CIA during the Cold War.

Albarelli also documents a very familiar infiltration by the CIA of both Edgewood Arsenal and Fort Detrick a la CIA infiltration of the DEA as documented by Douglas Valentine.
