I've definitely got Epstein brain. Last night I watched JFK for the first time. I had never heard of Jim Garrison or the New Orleans characters involved. Anyway, now I'm convinced the CIA is behind everything.

Any recommendations for a good history of the CIA? Something that's a sober analysis that sticks to known facts, yet also is not any way apologetic. I want to get into the real poo poo.

Legacy of Ashes by Tim Weiner

Covers the CIA from its founding to about 2010 with loads of source material that had only recently been declassified at the time. Probably the most thorough overview imo. There are loads of books that delve into specific operations but this gives you a good timeline of everything and goes into a lot of the agency infighting and how the agency's relationship with presidential administrations got more strained and duplicitous over time.

It's been years since I read it about I'm pretty sure the big takeaway I got from Legacy of Ashes was that the KGB just danced circles around US intelligence.

Yeah, it goes in depth on how the CIA started as a bunch of effete Harvard WASP lawyers who were totally out of their depth. The book talks a lot about how James J Angleton was either supremely incompetent or literally in league with the Cambridge Five lol

Most likely that's referring to Ehud Barak (former Israeli PM) because he's made several appearances at Epstein's NYC mansion even within the last few years and that creepy apartment building owned by Epstein's brother where apparently lots of trafficked child "models" were put up

Bulgakov posted:

be it one of the girls recruited nominally for modeling and really for sex or a bangladesh worker building fifa stadiums for qatar or some migrants trapped on fishing boats for years, this story is a universal one of people with power exploiting their position over those who have none. and the day to day lives of the powerful people at the top basically have zero interaction with the world of material constraints in which most of humanity exists, which is insane when attempting to think about but they are completely far gone and live in a parallel world of exclusive access

It honestly infuriates me that no politician is putting this poo poo in the broader context of capitalism and ruling elites, especially when all but one or two people running for president are trying to assure us that "the status quo is good, actually, it just needs some tinkering."

Like how do you not connect the depraved and unaccountable ways in which all these super-rich, powerful people live with the fact that Flint has poison water or people are committing murder-suicides because they can't pay their medical bills

Like, for a brief moment I try to hold the totality of these factors amd what they imply in my head all at once:

- Dyncorp
- Humpty Dumpty
- The NYC apartment building occupied almost entirely by child models
- The temple
- NATO bombings in Yugoslavia and the war orphans created there
- The scifi alien sex cult novel written by the AG's dad, who also hired Epstein at the private high school
- Epstein's interest in eugenics and erotic slavecraft
- The Maxwell family
- Bill Gates, Stephen Pinker, and the Gates foundation in Africa
- The Lolita Express flight to Africa where Clinton, Spacey, etc. were onboard

And my brain overloads. And this is with me forgetting or repressing dozens of other factors

What

I know about the Juanita rape but wtf

I mean just in terms of probability since Epstein has connections with Dyncorp, some of his more prominent sex slaves are from Yugoslavia and Clinton used NATO forces to bomb them during the Lewinsky scandal. I'm not saying he bombed Yugoslavia for that reason but chances are good that the bombings resulted in some displaced girls being trafficked by Epstein or Dyncorp and it came back around to him in the 2000s

Or maybe my Epstein brain has reached a terminal stage

I subbed yesterday and listened to it. Depends on how much patron-only content they end up producing but it was informative. It deals mostly with Jean Luc Brunel but was recorded before the news of Epstein's death broke.

Tbh my Epstein brain is very strong (for now at least) that it seems just as subscription-worthy as Chapo, Contrapoints, or whatever else I throw a few bucks per month at

Russia did it?

The entire conversation was around conditions in the MCC and that Trump retweeted a conspiracy theory that the Clintons had him killed. They were also upset at Twitter blowing up with amateur detectives and that Barr didn't do better keeping the prison in good order. No mention of Barr's dad's ties to Epstein and literally no mention of anyone else but Trump in connection to Epstein and his crimes. They would always say "other people" instead of naming, say, Bill Clinton.

I guess they want to make sure their listeners stay onboard with them and the far more boring and far less consequential Russiagate garbage
