|content=Many years ago 2002-6, I would give talks about Madoff & Epstein using “Black Arts Capital LLC” as a proxy, with the tag line “We’d tell you what we’re doing, but then...”
 
I guessed BM might be front-running his own business. Boy was I wrong on the specifics.

|content=This is what institutional betrayal looks like when you stare straight in its eyes: relaxed, confident, respectable, smooth, knowledgeable.

|content=If I had to predict what will happen, I’d guess that the system will come to the mild conclusion that it needs better conflict reporting.  And it will reclassify all of this as ‘normal’ except a few outlying cases. Then there might be a bit of scapegoating.

|content=35 years after [[National Science Foundation (NSF)|@nsf]] “Policy Research and Analysis” conspired w/ [[National Academy of Sciences (NAS)|NAS]] [[Government University Industry Research Round Table (GUIRR)|Government University Research Roundtable]] to sell out STEM-America.

Why? B/C it’s the *entire* STEM labor system.

|content=And here is a prediction. After we gut all of our advanced math and science, we are going to have a huge employer sponsored push to flood STEM markets with workers from abroad who were not subjected to “Diversity and Inclusion(tm)” re-education. Genius.

|content=[[Kayfabrication]] of the US Senate & economics.
 
Fiat money, [[String Theory|String Thy]], [[Labor Shortages|“labor shortages”]], COVID origin, CRT, 2wks to ‘Flatten the Curve’, etc. I don’t think people take me seriously that it’s now everywhere.
