|content=Learning a lot. Or maybe I am just getting confused. I will take this down if it is all wrong. There just isn't a lot of guidance as to what I am looking at.

Q: Am I to understand that King Abdullah of Jordan had/has a Jewish Brother because the CIA procured a Jewish Starlet for King Hussein? That can't be right.

Or that the CIA will build an entire set in the United States from a photograph of a room taken in Moscow, hire Actors and 'Actresses' that resemble both foreign leaders and their female associates, and shoot naughty short films in Los Angeles to look like a tryst took place in a room in Russia?

|content=Like just using Hollywood magic and knowhow to destroy leaders based on the fear of being called 'Conspiracy Theorists'? Think about it. The leader is confronted with incontrovertible cinematic and photographic evidence that something happened in Moscow that actually happened in Los Angeles!

|content=And when the individual says: "That is not true!" they sound like an insane person. Why?

Because of the epithet 'Conspiracy Theorist'! This is so brilliant. 

This was called "image cheapening" in the trade. 

Here the CIA is acting as a film company, financing risque short films to appear as as-if "fake documentaries", to remove leaders by cheapening their images.

|content=CONCLUSION: The concept of 'Conspiracy Theorist' is  beyond dead. This is nakedly diabolical.  

It may even be in the national interest. But this is so wild that I don't want to ever hear "That sounds like a conspiracy theory." Let's face the facts: This is what we do. It is who we are. And we are very good at it.

We conspire. We fake. We attack reputations. We topple leaders. We cheapen images. And we do it all so as to be completely untraceable. We are totally diabolical and we destroy anyone who suggests that we are that.

Our government is the gaslighter and we are the gaslit.

Now ask yourself *after* reading the above: what are the odds that people who operate like this might have interferred in our own 2020 US election or been involved in any of the attempts on President Trump's life?

Try saying 'Uh. That sounds like a conspiracy theory!" after reading this. 

I bet you can't do it anymore. You'll sound like a complete idiot now.

|content=For the record, many of us with contacts in the National Security complex are told this regularly: “The lesson of the Manhattan Project that the government took away is that physics in particular is too dangerous to do fully in the open. Hence the separate Q-clearance system, separate laws on free speech, National Laboratories, and physics funding from the Dept of Energy.” 

And I have said that I do *not* think it is at all likely that they cracked fundamental physics secretly. Very publicly. On Rogan.

|content=A) I don’t know that the USG did derange fundamental physics for security reasons. This may only be true at the level of nuclear physics, material science/condensed matter, etc. 

B) I don’t know that there are *any* successes in fundamental physics in black programs. Let alone “anti-gravity”: 

C) What I do wonder about is whether the U.S. government is blocking all public university fundamental physics preemptively with quantum gravity…while likely *failing* at it in secret (e.g. in national labs) as well.

|content=That is accurate. 

And I have also pointed out that physics has been recognized to be dangerous since Los Alamos.

And I have also pointed out that some physics is known to be done in secret (e.g. national labs).

And I have speculated that some of it may be deliberately fake (e.g. why doesn’t anyone in government question what happened to 40 years of ignoring competitor proposals and blindly following the string theory and  quantum gravity bandwagons?). Why speculate? Because it *IS* dangerous to do fundamental physics in public with rivals like China and Russia and Iran. 

What I don’t believe is that the U.S. solved gravity secretly or has a final theory of physics in some secure location. It’s not impossible, but I think it is highly highly highly unlikely.

|content=This was an important post from a dear friend. It went right by me. I was too caught up to understand what he was saying.

It isn’t about Colbert. It was about CBS from a man who grew up in Russia.

Ed was making the point that CBS was once team America in a *very* complicated way. At times CBS was complicit in American narrative manufacturing and at other times independent enough to act as a check on that very manufacturing of national story telling when it spun out of control. 

But nations with interests need stories. And CBS was both part of that storytelling and part of curbing its excesses. The friend who will take you out on a pub crawl for a night on the town when you need it, but who will also demand your keys when you are too drunk to drive home. 

And Ed didn’t live that. But he got it nevertheless. Unfortunately it went right by me. The loss of CBS over time.

I was too caught up in the Colbert part to see the point.

|content=If you want to save our country from what is coming you are going to have to face hard facts: 

A) We have growing fringe movements in the parties looking for opportunities to turn to armed struggle.

B) The main asymmetry between the parties is party affiliation of institutional actors.

C) Media and Education are the two most dangerous institutions, and they are now suffused with normalized revolutionaries.

D) Revolutionaries have been normalized as if they were liberals. They are not. They are different.

E) Revolutionaries recruit people who have not been “dealt in”. You can’t stop this without dealing people in. No one is dealing these people in. They don’t see a path. 

F) Every attempt to point out E) results in someone who got themselves dealt in talking loudly about how easy it is if you have grit. This works….bur it only works for some individuals. If it is so easy: show us all how to deal in three generations AT SCALE with AI on their heels as well. 

G) We are going to have to stop fighting the kids and fight the party leaders.

H) The big tents are a huge problem. The sane center people have to see more in common with counterparts across the aisle than with their fringes itching to kill. 

I) We need to help those who can be brought back. Identify those too far gone. And pray we can know the difference. 

J) We are going to have to recognize how far gone this situation already, is and work like hell of we want to bring it back to sanity.

K) China, Iran, N Korea, Russia, etc. are watching. Likely not always passively.
