His cellmate, former New York City police officer Nicholas Tartaglione, who is charged with four counts of murder, was questioned about Epstein's condition. He denied having any knowledge of what happened. Epstein himself said he recollected nothing

been reading Aberration in the Heartland of the Real (again, Don DeLillo made one hell of a sentence there, bravo)

while I think the Oklahoma bombings have been long surpassed in other far grander disasters, I am finding it really interesting from the perspective of "psychology of the state", so to speak. CHAOS had it aplenty and has a much more dramatic, gradative crack-ping, but this is a lot more... Raw? The bureaucratic detail it has on the clusterfuck of narratives, procedural matters, contradictions, public interest maneuvring and popular opinion whiplashes is amazing. Coupled with the namedrop here of that Andreas Strassmeir recently on the thread and hell yea *cheffy chef kiss*

so far I would describe it as the psychosocial sausage-making of the epsteinian process, the extraordinary jumble of powerful capitalistic interests working through metastasizing agencies and organizations that seek to effect them, becoming more and more self-destructive to the very state that they are supposedly protecting

Reminds me of the Croatian Six. lol @ cold war Australia ham-fistedly running interference for literal fascist terrorists and murderers, but also (if somewhat reluctantly) for the communist agents working to shut them down.

See also - the Sydney Hilton bombing coverups.

but looking into this part of history does make me wonder how far back this sort of thing goes, it's not like authoritarians would fail to notice the usefulness of the Haymarket bombing as an excuse to raid and to kill pro-worker agitators.

The most honest thing I've seen from the CIA about the CIA is their homebrewed Jack Ryan fan fiction.

Pollan is less a CIA plant and more a PR agent for whoever's paying.

Psychedelics becoming a thing again is probably less to do with the CIA and more to do with surveillance capitalism as is lusted after by villainous right-wing billionaires such as Peter Thiel (who needs no introduction) and Christian Angermeyer (biotech capitalist and proud adviser to the genocidal Paul Kagame). The bit in Westworld where William realises the potential of the park as an intelligence asset, reminds me of motivation of these people who are looking to control the psychedelic landscape and access the highly personal data that can be extracted from it.

Looking into who is behind psychedelics re-emerging may draw one's attention to the questionable nature of a lot of widely lauded philanthropy.

It was reported in mainstream outlets that Alexander Acosta, who cut the cushy deal with Epstein in 2007 and later became Trump's Labor Secretary, did so because he was told Epstein "belonged to intelligence". Frankly, it would be more surprising if he wasn't connected to intelligence services given who he was palling around with.

There's also a lot of shadowy ties between him and both Israeli and Russian intelligence as well, so for all we know, he was an asset for some other country or got flipped somehow by someone else after working for the US.

As far as I'm aware, it's just through Gislaine but in talking about how they're connected to intelligence, I don't think the two can really be separated. Basically, she's connected so he's connected. I should have been more clear on that assumption of mine.

Human trafficking in that region is a huge enough problem that I wouldn't say it's enough to link him to Russian intelligence on its own, but given what we know I would be extremely surprised if there wasn't some connection.
just noting that this article is 5 years old, but yeah, if you take any vehicle apart you'll probably find a few lumps of C4 hiding in there among all the 10mm sockets

It was almost lunch time so they just skipped some unimportant checklist items like
