gotta understand how successful the jared ad campaign was for subway, they literally tripled their profits

quote:

Today, he's Jared Fogel the friendly Subway guy. To scores of Indiana U. students back when, he was their in-dorm porno-rental superstore. Eat fresh!

Before he became a poster child for weight loss, the affable Subway spokestool once ran a adult film emporium from his bedroom, reports Best Week Ever. His collection was said to be "vast and extensive," and rental rates were hard to beat -- a dollar a day per vid. "People would come from all over to take advantage of the deal," according to BWE's source.

The same source snitches that the real reason Jared started eating Subway wasn't motivated by health concerns, but sheer laziness. Turns out that Subway happened to open a franchise on the ground floor of his dorm, so it was the closest fast-food joint to Jared's XXX lair.

We called a Subway rep, who said that the company has no knowledge of the story and that Jared was "unavailable." The rep also pointed out that legends have sprung up from time to time about Jared, including one that he'd died.

It is also true that Wendelle Stevens was maliciously and innocently sent to prison for allegedly sexually assaulting children, which was a lie and deceit, but he has not been rehabilitated to date. You Plejars, i.e. you Ptaah, together with your daughter Semjase, and you, Quetzal, you investigated extremely meticulously at that time with regard to the accusations against Wendelle regarding the alleged sexual abuse of minors. You investigated and clarified everything so thoroughly in detail that it was almost exaggerated, but you could not find anything that could indicate any misconduct on the part of Wendelle with regard to the accusations made against him. But you were not the only ones to find out the truth about this, because earthlings also looked into the accusations against Wendelle and found that they could not be true, as can be seen from many letters still on the Internet today.

That video should have had a content warning. Also, they're doing the thing the state always convinces media orgs to do, release misdirection to make the people who point out real crimes committed by governments look like fools. Come to think of it their NSA episode had a similar vibe. Maybe it's always been that way with everything from Matt and Trey. When have they ever contradicted the position of US security interests?

I can tell it's more than just them latching onto some previously existing misdirection campaign (QAnon) precisely because it's so graphic. It has the same exaggerated signature as the intelligence front Falun Gong's graphic flyers about how abusive the CCP is, which really must all just be projection of methods that US spy orgs know all to well because they themselves bring them into every country.... kidnapping, rape as torture, extreme violence, etc. The unusual degree of depravity and cruelty depicted is the giveaway

There's a bunch of other sections but here are the author's take on the US allegations of Pathet Lao chemical and biological warfare, which I will remind you included "Yellow Rain", which the authors fail to mention was later discovered to be clouds of bee poo poo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_rain)

quote:

Milton Leitenberg is an American academic specializing in arms control and weapons of mass destruction. He is a senior research associate with the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM), a division within the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland.[1]

quote:

Unlike its early rival Flying Saucer News, the review was not founded out of organised ufology but by people in the publishing industry. The driving force was the rather sinister Ian Waveney Girvan (1908-1964), a man deeply involved in hard right pro-Nazi politics, before and after the war. Girvan was trained as a chartered accountant but by the end of the 1930s had become involved with Westaway books, the co-director of which was the Nazi sympathiser John Beckett. Beckett was interned as a potential traitor during the war, and the company's chief financer was the pro-Nazi Lord Tavistock, later Duke of Bedford. Bedford was in effect Girvan’s employer by the late 1940s. By this time Girvan was fed up with life under the thumb of the Duke and found employment with a firm that shared premises with Westaway Books, Carroll and Nicholson. The authors of this booklet suggest that this was at the instigation of Beckett who wanted to use the firm to produce far-right political material.

quote:

Dempster was succeeded as editor by Brinsley Le Poer Trench, the fifth son of an Anglo-Irish aristocrat. Like many younger sons of the aristocracy he was sent out to 'Trade', and in the 1950s was employed selling advertising copy in a gardening magazine. Trench shared Leslie’s background, though at a less exalted level, and his interest in theosophy and occultism. He also shared Girvan’s involvement in pre-war far right politics, being a member of the pro-German Right Club. Trench would continue to show far right views in later life, during his time in the House of Lords as Lord Clancarty he was a noted supporter of the racist Smith regime in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).

Under Trench’s editorship FSR degenerated into a receptacle for just about any contactee tale going, perhaps the nadir being articles by T Lobsang Rampa an alleged Tibetan lama, who was actually a very British plumber called Cyril Hoskins, who came from the less exotic realm of Thames Ditton.

quote:

On the surface it might appear that the man who took over, regular contributor, diplomat, linguist, intelligence agent and long-time friend of Bowen, Gordon Creighton would be ideal for the job. There was however a terrible fly in the ointment, Gordon Creighton was paranoid to the point of clinical mental illness. John Harney recalls meeting Bowen at a BUFORA meeting some time in the 1970s, where the FSR editor described Creighton as “awfully nice chap, but nutty as a fruitcake”.

His paranoia was of two parts; the first, probably shared by a number of people of his age, class and background was that anyone whose values, beliefs, outlook on life or lifestyle would not meet the wholehearted approval of the more elderly and conservative members of the Rickmansworth Golf Club were agents of the monolithic global Communist conspiracy - this being particularly true of feminists.

Creighton’s additional spin on this trope was that the global Communist conspiracy was behind the scenes being run by the supernatural beings known to the Arabs and the wider Moslem world as djinns and to the rest of us as fairies, boggarts, elves, gnomes, fays, lutins, duendes, etc. etc., such supernatural beings also being responsible for most if not all manifestations that caused UFO reports. Furthermore this gigantic boggart-communist conspiracy already secretly controlled the world and would soon undertake overt world conquest. However this global conspiracy would from time to time divert their attention from world conquest to order the removal of books on UFOs from Britain’s public libraries.

Jonestown used both Kool-Aid and Flavor-Aid. The "it was Flavor-Aid" rebuttal is an op by Big Beverage. Also there's the thing with the many of the massacre victims who were not poisoned, and were shot to death by U.S.-backed mercenaries.

I've dipped into this thread a few times but not really kept up with the narrative. But today I was off on a long hike down the coast looking for some listening material, and one of the things I'd bookmarked for listening to was the Ghost Stories For The End Of The World podcast, which I think is made by a goon.

I listened to the first 3 episodes and, against the advice of the podcaster, looked up the more morbid details of the Marc Detroux affair and crack-loving-ping.

I think I'm gonna spend some time reading this thread from the start and collating all the recommended source materials.

Lmao this is literally straight out of Edward Lansdale's counterinsurgency playbook (the following is all paraphrased from Radio War Nerd ep 39 — Cold War Counterinsurgencies):

Lansdale was an advertiser who ended up working for the OSS during WWII. He was really into the idea that terror must be used to pacify or reorient regions where people might be sympathetic to insurgents and argued that you must terrorise the local population in “funny” or “humorous” ways.

There was one “prank” in particular that he loved to brag about and found very funny which his men carried out during their campaign against the Huk insurgency in the Philippines:

In one of the villages there was a sympathetic courier who used to carry supplies between the village where the food was grown and the hills a bit further away where the Huk were hiding out. One day, the courier was caught bringing some supplies to the Huk, and when he was interrogated by Lansdale’s people, he confessed to everything on tape and was murdered. His body was brought back out to the trail between the hills and the village and left there until it was found by some local villager. They spread rumours to the people in the village that it was actually the Huk who killed him. The villagers buried him and then in the middle of the night they set up these loudspeakers and put in the tape recorder and the villagers all of a sudden hear the guy’s voice confessing to all of his crimes from the cemetery. They didn’t know what a tape recorder or loudspeakers were, and so apparently they all fled, leaving the village completely cleared the next day.

i've read elsewhere that none of this poo poo actually worked and that all the locals knew it was the american troops known to be in the area mutilating the corpses and not vampires

multistability posted:

Yeah now that I actually think about it psy-ops such as Lansdale's and Wallace's are reflective of a certain bigoted colonial or imperialistic attitude towards the people who are being subjected to them, and I have no doubt that if you see a corpse hanging upside down completely drained of blood you would be so terrified you would just get the gently caress out of there regardless. Like the point of counterinsurgency isn't so much the means rather than the end, which is to terrify the insurgency and the population which supports that insurgency into submission
