Nice one! You seem to be one of the very few big voices on Substack who actually see the obvious here.
Berenson's infatuation is so tiresome. Eugyppius is brilliant, but like so many others can't seem to let go (of his 'Twatter' following). Meanwhile, Malone's incessant and wilfully blind cheerleading of Musk early on only served to furth…
Nice one! You seem to be one of the very few big voices on Substack who actually see the obvious here.
Berenson's infatuation is so tiresome. Eugyppius is brilliant, but like so many others can't seem to let go (of his 'Twatter' following). Meanwhile, Malone's incessant and wilfully blind cheerleading of Musk early on only served to further underline increasingly valid concerns about his Deep State ties and possible role as controlled opposition.
To anyone who has studied Musk this should have been entirely predictable. Actually, studying Musk was not necessary. All we needed to know was that if We the People were looking to another eccentric tech billionaire to save free speech, we were simply being fools played a second time around. Furthermore, Musk has never, not once, as far as I'm aware, directly questioned or criticized the Big Tech model itself, and yet it is the root of so many of today's problems, or at least the elixir that has made them all worse. On the contrary, Musk has is doubling down on the Big Tech model we've had now for over two decades, the one that finally brought us the Covid era.
Those who really want to understand what Big Tech is and what it's doing to us all should read Shoshana Zuboff's, 'The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power'. Highly recommend.
Finally, anyone in this day and age who isn't at least concerned that Twitter and Musk both are likely CIA ops isn't thinking critically enough.
That book was on my nightstand for most of 2019. Everyone should read it twice to understand how they're being manipulated.
This here is all we need to know about him: "Musk has never, not once, as far as I'm aware, directly questioned or criticized the Big Tech model itself, and yet it is the root of so many of today's problems."
Throw in the brain chips, government leaching, EV madness, 100k 5G sats in LEO and we have ourselves an obvious enemy of humanity.
I'm having trouble understanding something. There's abundant evidence that the CIA is terrible at its job and fails at almost everything it tries (see Legacy of Ashes). But at the same time, everyone on substack seems to think it controls everything and has virtually unlimited surveillance and analytical / computing power. How do we resolve this paradox?
The CIA is terrible at its job and fails at almost everything it tries only when we assume it exists for the reasons we are all indoctrinated to believe, such as to legitimately protect the interests of the American people, including our national security and way of life.
When we drop those (false) pretences and investigate things more closely, the perspective changes dramatically:
For a start, the CIA has been intrinsically tied to the narcotics trade since its inception, in fact well before through its predecessor the OSS. Today, the illicit drug trade constitutes an estimated three quarters of a trillion dollars, globally, per annum. Multiple authors compellingly argue that much of this black market is controlled by the CIA, which, and this is no secret, somehow has much more (dark, off the books) money at its disposal than it gets from the United States Congress.
The CIA has been complicit in over 60 attempted and successful coup d'etat and those are just the ones we know about. It has committed untold and unknowable number of illegal assassinations, political and otherwise.
The CIA’s fingerprints are all over the JFK, MLK and RFK assassinations.
The CIA brought LSD to the American public in the sixties as part of its MKUltra and other related programs. These once completely secret and now infamous programs were ostensibly about the exploration of mind control, but in fact turned out to be more about studies and exercises in destruction of the individual mind, and the manipulation of populations at large. They involved the incarceration, isolation, torture, medical experimentation and ultimate demise or death of countless thousands of innocents, first covertly overseas and then ultimately on citizens within the homeland.
The CIA then took these heinous learnings and experimentation to a whole new level when it unleashed them on a population writ large vis a vis its infamous Phoenix Program during the Vietnam war, which effectively turned South Vietnam into a totalitarian laboratory under the guise of a conventional war. (In addition to reading extensively on this subject, I’ve spent much time in Vietnam… I’ve seen the torture camps, the photos, and much more to substantiate these assertions.)
I won’t belabor the point about man going to the moon on joke-1960’s technology, but will simply suggest that that endeavor would have been (was) a fantastic money laundering scheme for funding the Vietnam War and the Phoenix Program, and that it also served as an ingenious way to simultaneously spook the Russians, while bringing to heel an American public increasingly agitated with the afore mentioned assassinations and egregious war, and later also Water Gate, by distracting them from those concerns and instilling a renewed sense of pride and patriotism in their country, and therefore, also in their otherwise discredited leaders.
One of CIA’s main investment arms in industry is In-Q-Tel, which invests early in ‘promising’ tech and entrepreneur’s predominantly in Silicon Valley, which should put the nexus and interconnectivity between Big Tech and Big Government in a whole new perspective for most people. It is hard to imagine anyone truly making it big in SV without ‘approval’ from the CIA, which secures its interests early. Incidentally, and estimated 3 million Americans have signed state secret agreements with the US Deep State. The penalty for violating those agreements, which can include even simply divulging that one has signed one, can lead to up to 20 years in prison (or worse, unofficially.) Think of the implications of this… of the power.
The Deep State, and therefore also the CIA are deeply implicated in 9/11, and the ensuing ‘War on Terror’, which was really a long and carefully planned war of terror, designed to plunder far off countries, while further enriching billionaires and corporate oligarchs as well as providing the necessary pretext for enabling the US Govt (Deep State) to consummate surveillance and control over the American population, and in turn populations in ostensibly democratic nations everywhere. From these perspectives, 911 can be seen as a direct precursor to the Covid ‘plandemic’ and the situation we find ourselves in now.
All that said, the CIA most certainly does NOT control everything on its own. Instead, it is a very powerful node, and one of many, controlled by the global cabal, which uses it to pursue its agendas. Together with other nodes, and in particular the rest of the Deep State, including the DOD, the NSA, and Big Tech, the CIA DOES have virtually unlimited surveillance and analytical / computing power.
Different aspects of the above musings are well documented across an extensive range of excellent books either directly related to or tangentially focussed on the CIA. One which covers most of them in great detail with impressive documentation is Douglas Valentine’s, ‘The CIA as Organized Crime: How Illegal Operations Corrupt America and the World.”
You make a lot of good points. Certainly, the CIA is not what it advertises itself to be and has a lot of partners in big tech and industry. But at the end of the day, it's just a government agency. Government agencies suck at everything. It seems unlikely to me that they would have the coordination and discipline to be everywhere all at once *and* have zero leaks.
The CIA has LOTS of leaks, but it is also not the case that everyone is in the know, so to speak. Far from it. Like all nodes in the cabal, it is highly compartmentalized and ultimately controlled by a powerful few who work for said cabal.
Also, the CIA does not have to have the coordination and discipline to be everywhere all at once to serve its purpose for its masters. On the contrary, while I have great sympathy for the view that government agencies are hopelessly ineffective at their espoused purposes, the "dolts botching shit" (TM Sage Hana) perception provides excellent cover.
The same could be said of the UN. On the one hand, it seems like a large and ineffective bureaucratic institution that simply wastes tons of money. On the other hand, it serves a very different set of purposes altogether from what the public understands, which it is highly effective at, namely, promoting the man-made global warming ruse and systematically executing many of the critical steps needed to implement one-world government vis a vis Agenda 21 and all of its related offshoots, including the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Agenda. (See Patrick Wood's, Technocracy and other books for more on this.)
The CIA most certainly does not suck at everything, nor does the UN. They suck at serving We the People, but excel at serving others.
I worry that this is becoming an unfalsifiable position. If they do their stated job, then they're highly effective. If they don't do their stated job, then they weren't actually supposed to be doing *that* job.
I'm not trolling you. It's clear that there's some level of global coordination here, but I worry when we try to make everything fit into the puzzle. People just aren't that smart, especially people in government. There has to be room for mistakes and coincidences.
No worries. There is enormous scope for mistakes and coincidences. I can only share where extensive booking reading and other research has led me. I will always want to hear other perspectives, especially if the research is comparable (or better) and leads to different findings. But speculation without commensurate research and compelling arguments is always going to be, well, less compelling for me. Atb.
How about NOT thinking of the CIA as the Keystone Kops, but as an effective, if problematic, tentacle of the Owners machine? Humans are gonna human, no matter how trained, "professional" or "patriotic" they may be, and in those HUGE sinkholes there's all kinds of space for mind control and "intelligence gathering" wins and losses.
The REAL mystery is: why do humans choose to work for such organizations? Greed only takes you so far, even in this iteration of Life. What POSSESSES them?
"why do humans choose to work for such organizations?"
Some delude themselves that they are saving the country/world, others were bullying victims as kids and are getting back at the world. The former lean narcissist and the latter lean sociopath/psychopath. In both cases, normal people have a very hard time trying to figure them out because their brains don't work like ours.
