mabeuf and llinecook have been on that theory for a while now, basically asserting that the Chinese capitalists (ergo, Deng wasn't a communist, and the PRC is no longer communist) and the American capitalists were and are in-cahoots in some kind of grand plan to destroy New York City as a financial capital, of which COVID is the culmination of

there's a lot of... pathology to unpack there, and while I do still continue to follow those accounts, I don't generally buy into that particular narrative because it delves too much into speculation and hypothesis. It's true that Deng collaborated with Carter against the USSR and Vietnam (and supported Pol Pot's Kampuchea). It's true that in the latter parts of the Vietnam War there were outbreaks of mass dissent among the soldiery that's since been buried by pop-history and neocon ideology. To work from those tidbits and end up where they did is... a step I'm not willing to commit to.

No, in-cahoots to dissolve working class power globally, not particular to New York City or anything. COVID is only just the latest justification for social control but it's not new or anything. Previously there was financial controlled demolitions, 9/11, domestic gladio, war on drugs, war on terror, war on poverty, gun control etc etc. Ruling class is not actually able to implement their will unilaterally at any time or in any place, although that is a common fantasy here.

Stuff like this was super controversial back in the day, all the conservatives flipped out about how dangerous Di was for awhile
Right wing military industrial complex worshipers/investors were also really angry about her campaign against land mine use and her support of the Ottawa treaty. It sticks out in my mind because a few months earlier I had written a paper for my Social Studies (mashup of history, politics, and civics) class on why land mines should be banned (I got an A, but the whole topic was way over the head of 13 year old me), and Di's activism got a lot of good sources into the news. One of the sticking points for the US and South Korea was that it was a complete ban while they wanted an exception for the Korean DMZ, and there was a similar hesitancy between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir dispute.

On top of all the reasons people might have wanted her dead, the car crash leaves everything ambiguous and doesn't support either official story or assassination theory over the other.

like havana syndrome is the funniest to me, because on threads of evidence thinner than UFOs, or the grassy knoll, or Hitler made it to SA, the entire media and blob establishment has wholeheartedly endorsed *RUSSIAN MIND BEAMS* even when there's no evidence its the russians, no evidence of brain changes, no evidence of even any loving beams. at least the UFO people have videos.

I'm not saying it's not mass hysteria or bullshit, but there was a canadian study showing brain changes

quote:

METHODS We conducted a multimodal study examining 26 Canadian diplomats and their family members, the majority of whom presented with symptoms similar to their American counterparts while residing in Havana. Assessments included a medical history, self-reported symptom questionnaires, cognitive assessments, blood tests, and brain imaging assessments (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG)). Individuals showing signs of brain injury underwent further neurological, visual, and audio-vestibular assessments. Eight participants were tested both before and after living in Havana.

RESULTS Our assessment documents multiple functional and structural impairments, including significant spatial memory impairment, abnormal brain-stem evoked potentials, degradation of fibre tracts in the fornix and posterior corpus callosum, blood-brain barrier injury to the right basal forebrain and anterior insula, and abnormal paroxysmal slowing events of cortical activity. Subsequent mass-spectrometry and blood analyses documented reduced serum cholinesterase activity and the presence of organophosphates (Temephos) and pyrethroid metabolites (3-phenoxybenzoic acid or 3-BPA).

One summary I read of this claimed that the 8 who were before and after images showed changes during the time at the embassy; I don't feel like reading the fulltext to see if that's true.

Honestly I'd written this all off as a reaction to the known-neurotoxic pesticides being sprayed for Zika (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-49770369) until it became a story again lately for Some Reason.

That study isn’t published yet and hasn’t been peer reviewed.

And like the JAMA study, I don’t think it showed that the brain changes couldn’t be equally caused by stress or depression, both things that can physically change the brain.

But yeah it could still be pesticides or something else causing real symptoms that are getting overlayed with the MPI.

My uneducated guess is the case in the 90s in Moscow is real, creating the top secret record and the rumors about it. So then when blob members in Cuba start recording crickets etc, there’s just enough reality to flesh out their fantasy into mind ray guns.
