CIA / FBI / Fed / Conspiracy General
"The X-Files got nothing on this shit"
This Thread is dedicated for the discussion, analysis and reveal of obscure information on the shadowy hands of capitalism and fascism - the federal agents - and their efforts as part of the porky hydra. Propaganda and conspiracies of these Alphabet agencies and their impacts today and past are to be discussed.
Information and discussion on the OSS and NSA or equivalent government agencies of other countries - such as MI6 of Britain or the Nazi Gestapo - are also encouraged to be posted. KGB and FSB can be discussed too.
Technology for spying and espionage are also welcome. NATO and US military abuses or the affairs of corporate military-industrial complexes that are covered or hushed up also apply. Whistleblowers like Assange and Snowden are permitted sources of information as well.

>Flouride in Water Supplies
Fluoride, or Hydrofluorosilic acid (H 2 SiF 6 ), is not naturally occurring but is a waste by-product derived from the industrial manufacture of aluminium, zinc, uranium, aerosols, insecticides, fertilizers, plastics, lubricants and pharmaceuticals.
It is also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972 ranking in toxicity above lead and just below arsenic.
Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUoride). American toothpastes containing fluoride are by law obliged to state, '"WARNING: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional help or contact a poison control center immediately."
>Fluoride build up in the body causes calcification of the pineal gland in the brain.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4213386/

>Calcification of the pineal gland and the resulting degradation results in a worse sense of direction among other negative consequences.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1419179/
The prevalence of pineal gland calcification was 58.8%. There was no statistically significant correlation between age and the extent of the calcification. The prevalence of calcification was 58.6% in females and 59.0% in males. The average anteroposterior measurement was 3.73±1.63 mm, while the average mediolateral measurement was 3.47±1.31 mm. The average total calcified area was 9.79±7.59 mm2.

>Excessive flouride damages your teeth with fluorosis.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db53.htm
Fluoride in dental care products is useful, it's water treatment in particular that lacks evidence. Kind of like how magnesium in your diet is an important nutrient, but gargling Epsom salt will kill you from hypermagnesemia. The action mechanism for fluoride strengthening of teeth is entirely topical. You get all the fluoride you could need from toothpaste and mouthwash. Ingesting fluoride means it has to run its way through all your bodily process and then return to your mouth in salivary secretions at very low concentrations for any sort of action on teeth. High bodily concentrations of fluoride can make bones brittle and actually can stunt brain development in children. The only reason we treat our tap water with extra fluoride is because the phosphate fertilizer industry produces hexafluorosilicic acid as a by-product and water fluoridation is used as an excuse to just dump it in the water supply instead of disposing of it properly. It roots even further back in lobbyists from the nuclear industry working to downplay the toxicity of fluoride exposure against workers. One of the biggest advocates for fluoridation and fluoride safety during the cold war was the lead toxicologist of the Manhattan Project and the same guy who orchestrated the human plutonium experiments where they injected plutonium into people without their consent to observe what happened.

MKULTRA: Sub project 68.
What is Mkultra?
>Project MKUltra—sometimes referred to as the CIA’s mind control program—was the code name given to an illegal program of experiments on human subjects, designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs, alcohol, stick and poke tattoos, and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture, in order to weaken the individual to force confessions through mind control. Organized through the Scientific Intelligence Division of the CIA, the project coordinated with the Special Operations Division of the U.S. Army’s Chemical Corps. The program began in the early 1950s, was officially sanctioned in 1953, was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in 1967 and officially halted in 1973. The program engaged in many illegal activities; in particular it used unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy. MKUltra used numerous methodologies to manipulate people’s mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture.
>The scope of Project MKUltra was broad, with research undertaken at 80 institutions, including 44 colleges and universities, as well as hospitals, prisons, and pharmaceutical companies. The CIA operated through these institutions using front organizations, although sometimes top officials at these institutions were aware of the CIA’s involvement.

One of the most interesting things I find about MK ULTRA that a lot of people might not be aware of is its attachment to soviet cold war paranoia. The government (and many Americans at the time) were living in overwhelming fear at the time that the Soviets could only be gaining as much ground as they were through some form of 'mind control' or 'brainwashing.' Once again this fear and paranoia about communism lead the American government to do some pretty nefarious things. Mkultra included dosing un-witting subjects such as prisoners, prostitutes and ordinary people with high levels of LSD (including non burgers like Canadians) with out their consent or knowledge. The whole thing was totally illegal, funded through a CIA front org, ironically, known as "The society for the protection of human ecology" and had its roots in over 100 different facilities and colleges (often with out their knowledge.) It just makes you think what else the government is really up to and what they could be doing today right now? What other conspiracies and declassified government documents can we comb over /posad/? I am very curious about what other experimental operations the CIA might have been involved in in the name of stopping communism?

Have you heard of Project Sunshine? https://archive.is/ZNn2N https://archive.is/ZSdup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_SUNSHINE
>On January 18, 1955, then-AEC commissioner Dr. Willard Libby said that there was insufficient data regarding the effects of fallout due to a lack of human samples – especially samples taken from children – to analyze. Libby was quoted saying, "I don't know how to get them, but I do say that it is a matter of prime importance to get them, and particularly in the young age group. So, human samples are often of prime importance, and if anybody knows how to do a good job of body snatching, they will really be serving their country."[4] This led to over 1,500 samples being gathered, of which only 500 were analyzed.[4] Many of the 1,500 sample cadavers were babies and young children, and were taken from countries from Australia to Europe, often without their parents' consent or knowledge.[5] According to the investigation launched after a British newspaper reported that British scientists had obtained children’s bodies from various hospitals and shipped their body parts to the United States, a British mother had said that her stillborn baby's legs were removed by British doctors, and to prevent her from finding out what had happened, she was not allowed to dress the baby for the funeral

In COINTELPRO, FBI used anarchism to 'disrupt left', attack Vietnam & USSR?
(no paywall) https://benjaminnorton.substack.com/p/in-cointelpro-fbi-used-anarchism
>In internal documents, the FBI stressed that “the publisher and the writers should be strictly anarchist.” Why? Because the cops recognized that “the anarchist position could take any direction, such as an attack on Vietnam policies as well as an attack on the Soviets in Czechoslovakia.”
>“The anarchists point of view is the most disruptive element in the New Left and should be capitalized on in the most confusing ways,” the feds added.
>The FBI recognized that anarchist ideology could be used to de-politicize the leftist struggle, writing that the publication would “reach wider circulation if it were not so political as to be tied to dogma such as the line of MAO or CHE GUEVARA.”
In the same vein of de-politicizing the struggle, the FBI also recognized it could weaponize culture against the left. It insisted that the anarchist paper should cover lurid topics, just as VICE magazine made its name.

>The 3 Lone Gunmen attempt to steal the powerful Octium IV computer chip from the shady E-Com-Con tech company's top security room. However, a professional thief called Yves Adele Harlow is watching them, waiting for the right time to use the Gunmen as a distraction and steal the chip for herself. After the fiasco that ensues, the Gunmen get more bad news - Byers' father Bertram, a top tier government agent, has died in a car crash. After the touching funeral involving the launch of a rocket ship model, another government agent who knew Byers' father warns them that whatever happened to Bertram Byers was no accident. After their thorough investigation and a plot twist, The Gunmen conclude that something is very wrong and try to hack into the government files in other to discover what Byers' father was working on at the time of his "accident". What they find turns out to unintentionally be highly prophetic, since this pilot was aired just 6 months before the 9/11 happened.
>the pilot program, which first aired on March 4, 2001, concerned a government plot to crash an airplane into the World Trade Center and make it appear as a terrorist plot in order to justify more defense spending.

https://x-files.fandom.com/wiki/Pilot_(The_Lone_Gunmen)
>Original Airdate: March 4, 2001
>Ray Helm later shows the Lone Gunmen to the area where Byers' father crashed – beneath one end of a bridge in Reston, Virginia. According to Helm, the police have ruled that the crash was caused by the driver falling asleep at the wheel, based on the lack of skid-marks in the area. After Langly realizes that Helm's theory differs, Byers initially thinks that Helm is suggesting his father committed suicide until Helm clarifies that he believes Bertram Byers was murdered.
>Ray Helm admits to having no proof to backup his claims, but states that that outcome would be desired in the case of a government sanctioned murder. In response to Byers' puzzlement over why his father specifically was targeted, Ray Helm states that the government may have had a problem with Bertram Byers being such a conscionable man and recalls that Bertram had been upset about something unspecified when he had last talked to Helm.
>Gazing at a photograph of his father, Byers expresses his intention to search his father's computer for any clue as to why he may have been murdered. The others start to follow Byers to the computer but Frohike slips on a wet section of carpet and, looking up at his accomplices from the floor, he suggests that the wetness may be because the carpet has been cleaned. Byers instructs Frohike to investigate the damp patch, as he and Langly continue over to the computer. They find that all information has been deleted from the computer, including a text file that seems to be a Department of Defense document and refers to Scenario 12-D. Meanwhile, Frohike – dressed in white coveralls while using an ultraviolet light wand in the dark – discovers that the wet patch is, in fact, blood that he subsequently shows the other Lone Gunmen. Byers concludes that, in contradiction with popular belief, his father was dead long before the car crash and was murdered at home.
>Self-congratulatory whoops from Kimmy draw the others over to the computer he is using, where he explains that he has managed to access a government think-tank's upload directory. The directory seems to indicate that Byers' father was murdered due to a war game and the group learns that Scenario 12-D concerns airline terrorism.
>Byers asks about Scenario 12-D and his father reluctantly reveals that the same men who developed it now intend to act out the scenario, planning to commit a terrorist act against a domestic airline. Bert Byers is frustrated that, as usual, his son assumes the entire government are involved; he clarifies that the terrorists are only a small faction of the government. Bertram Byers goes on to outline an elaborate plan, saying that the crash of a fully loaded 727 in the middle of New York City will influence many dictators around the world to contend that they were responsible for the crash, thereby introducing some enemies for the US to stockpile against and increasing the country's arms sales. Byers is shocked to hear of this scheme and learns from his father that the crash is scheduled for later that night.
>At an airport terminal, Byers and his father walk across a crowded concourse towards departure gate 34 – from where Flight 265 is due to head to Boston – but his father is reluctant to board the craft, cautious that they may be under observation and intent that they instead report a bomb threat that the FBI can deal with. Byers reminds his father that they cannot trust any government official, since they are unsure of the conspiracy's full extent.
>When Bert Byers goes to warn the flight crew that the craft has been commandeered, the crew members are at first bewildered by his intrusion into the cockpit and are then intent on following the protocol of confirming his cautioning. However, Bert Byers reaches forward for the controls himself and proves, by deactivating the aircraft's autopilot, that the plane has truly been possessed.
>Langly keeps trying to disrupt the flight control system but his efforts are still in vain and the plane's crash seems certain until, at the very last moment, Langly's attempts are finally successful; he is unknowingly, remotely being helped by Frohike and Yves utilizing the Octium IV chip. With screaming passengers aboard, the plane makes a steep ascent and glides over the rooftops of the World Trade Center, narrowly averting disaster.

https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4623026/user-clip-donald-rumsfeld-speech
The topic today is an adversary that poses a threat - serious threat - to the security of the United States of America. This adversary is one of the world's last bastions of central planning, governs by dictating 5 year plans; a single Capital, it attempts to impose its command across timezones, continent, ocean, and beyond. With brutal consistency it stifles free thought, crushes new ideas, disrupts the defense of the United States, places the lives of men and women in uniform at risk. Perhaps this adversary sounds like the former Soviet Union, but that enemy is gone. Our foes are more subtle and [?] today. You may think I'm describing one of the last, decrepit dictators of the world, but their day too is almost passed, and they cannot match the strength and size of this adversary. The adversary is closer to home. It's the Pentagon bureaucracy.
Donald Rumsfeld, 9/10/2001
>Rumsfeld played a central role in the invasion of Afghanistan and invasion of Iraq. Before and during the Iraq War, he claimed that Iraq had an active weapons of mass destruction program; yet no stockpiles were ever found.[4][5] A Pentagon Inspector General report found that Rumsfeld's top policy aide "developed, produced, and then disseminated alternative intelligence assessments on the Iraq and al Qaida relationship, which included some conclusions that were inconsistent with the consensus of the Intelligence Community, to senior decision-makers".[6] Rumsfeld's tenure was controversial for its use of torture and the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal.[7]
9/11 was a hidden coup it seems like. Anti-communist and regime-change fanatics leveraging or ousting opposition in the government. Coup or purge.

Everyone should listen to this speech, because it does a great job of showcasing a huge change in theory of government - communism is dead, and so is the need for insurgent fascism. Now the government turns its gaze inwards, to all of its various territories, and how it can best manage them and repress any uprisings. This goes hand in hand with becoming less "conservative" and promoting more "democracy" - because that's what keeps a simmer rather than a boil, and gets people to disengage from a theory of oppression and power. The shift in the imperial core is one from outright oppressive conservatism which justifies it's need to be oppressive, to a liberalism which entices you to interact with it, try to change things from the inside, etc. and wants you to think of the government as something more democratic, transparent, and progressive. Abroad, this means less funding right-wing terrorists, and more siding with neoliberal regimes and helping their repression capabilities at the expense of right wing insurgents even (who are now obsolete and only serve as a reminder of the real power relations and fluidity/temporality of any state of governance). This is an important shift.

9-11 is a Reichstag Fire moment both to pass the Patriot act (The reasons why the bougies would want such an act passed are so obvious, that it's not even worth spending two paragraphs explaining) and to initiate the '7 countries in 5 years' warplan (In which the US intended to invade Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and finally Iran for NeoColonial). Afghanistan actually would have happened REGARDLESS of 9/11 September 11 wasn't even the CASUS BELLI FOR AFGHANISTAN. Bush had decided on a 'intervention' in Afghanistan months before it (9/11) happened. with the Casus belli being the PREVIOUS WTC bombing and the time AQ bombed that US Navy ship. But this caused friction between Bush and Cheney/Rumsfeld, since Bush wanted it to be a Just-Cause / Panama invasion style war. The US would shock and awe in, Kill Osama and Omar, Put the Alliance in power and dip, Cheney/Rumsfeld wanted the forever war to make the people lobbying them as much money as possible. 9/11 was the perfect casus belli for this extended conflict.

It's also funny to point out that Bush campaigned in 2000 as an anti-interventionist (criticizing Clinton intervening in Bosnia) and talking about how NATO needed to pick up more of the burden, along with being a "drain the swamp" reformer who'd cut taxes and regulation. Meanwhile, Rumsfeld also promoted creating a leaner and more efficient military – with tons of technological doodads of course.

The positive side is that their plan, though accomplished, largely failed.
>The US only managed to outright invade Afghanistan and Iraq, Both of which they have now effectively withdrawn from in shame and defeat.
>Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 2006 was an 'utter failure' both militarily and geopolitically in the eyes of most people
>Syria has more or less completely crushed US backed rebel forces over most of the country and now their government has completely aligned towards China-Russia-Iran
>They managed to crumble the Libyan government but the US backed 'transitional democratic government' (Colonial administration) completely collapsed soon after and now Eastern Libya s under the control of a Russia-China-Iran aligned general and Western Libya is in complete pandemonium to the point there is no real way to actually extract value out of the place.
>The plans to invade Somalia, Sudan and Iran were shelved.
>the 'Post-9/11' patriotism they built has become an article of mockery by a majority of people home and abroad.
Thus they are abandoning Afghanistan's "mineral riches" and moving back to East Asia and the Chinese headbutting.

Embed related by StormCloudsGathering is a pretty good short documentary on 9/11 and its impact. This dude does a lot of good videos, such as his stuff on the Odessa Massacre and Ukrainian ATO.

9/11 Senior intelligence officers:
#1). Daniel Ellsberg, former military analyst and famed whistleblower said that the case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers". He also said that the government is ordering the media to cover up her allegations about 9/11. And he said that some of the claims concerning government involvement in 9/11 are credible, that "very serious questions have been raised about what they [U.S. government officials] knew beforehand and how much involvement there might have been", that engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or psychologically beyond the scope of the current administration, and that there’s enough evidence to justify a new, "hard-hitting" investigation into 9/11 with subpoenas and testimony taken under oath.
#2). Raymond McGovern, a 27-year CIA veteran, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates and personally delivered intelligence briefings to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, their Vice Presidents, Secretaries of State, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other senior government officials said "I think at simplest terms, there’s a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke", and is open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job.
#3). William Bill Christison, a 29-year CIA veteran, former National Intelligence Officer (NIO) and former Director of the CIA’s Office of Regional and Political Analysis said "I now think there is persuasive evidence that the events of September did not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe. … All three [buildings that were destroyed in the World Trade Center] were most probably destroyed by controlled demolition charges placed in the buildings before 9/11."
#4). Lynne Larkin, a CIA Operations Officer who co-chaired a CIA multi-agency task force coordinating intelligence efforts among many intelligence and law enforcement agencies sent a joint letter to Congress expressing their concerns about "serious shortcomings," "omissions," and "major flaws" in the 9/11 Commission Report and offering their services for a new investigation (they were ignored).
#5). David Steele, a 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking civilian in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine services case officer stated that "9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war", and it was probably an inside job.
#6). Robert Baer, a decorated 20-year CIA veteran, who Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh called "perhaps the best on-the-ground field officer in the Middle East", and whose astounding career formed the script for the Academy Award winning motion picture Syriana said that "the evidence points at" 9/11 having had aspects of being an inside job.
#7). Melvin Goodman, the Division Chief of the CIA’s Office of Soviet Affairs, who served as Senior Analyst from 1966 — 1990 and who also served as Professor of International Security at the National War College from 1986 — 2004 said "The final [9/11 Commission] report is ultimately a coverup."
#8). Major John M. Newman, PhD, U.S. Army, a Professor of History and International Relations, University of Maryland AND former Executive Assistant to the Director of the National Security Agency, former military attaché in China, with a 21-year career in U.S. Army Intelligence questions the government’s version of the events of 9/11.
#9). Bob Graham, the Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 and former Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee and FBI informant had hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 and that when the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and that a high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers were undertaken under orders from the White House.
#10). Patrick Leahy, current Democratic U.S. Senator said: "The two questions that the congress will not ask . . . is why did 9/11 happen on George Bush’s watch when he had clear warnings that it was going to happen? Why did they allow it to happen?"
#11). Ron Paul, current Republican Congressman calls for a new 9/11 investigation and states that investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on"@http://web.archive.org/web/20070121184445/http://www.prisonplanet.tv/audio/170107paul.mp3″ volslider="y" style="outline"]
#12). Dennis Kucinich, current Democratic Congressman, hints that we aren’t being told the truth about 9/11.
#13). Jason Chafetz, current Republican Congressman, says that we need to be vigilant and continue to investigate 9/11.
#14). Mike Gravel, former Democratic Senator, states that he supports a new 9/11 investigation and that we don’t know the truth about 9/11.
#15). Lincoln Chaffee, former Republican Senator, endorses a new 9/11 investigation.
#16). Dan Hamburg, former U.S. Democratic Congressman, says that the U.S. government "assisted" in the 9/11 attacks, stating that "I think there was a lot of help from the inside".
#17). Curt Weldon, former U.S. Republican Congressman and senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, and who served six years as the Chairman of the Military Research and Development Subcommittee has shown that the U.S. tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about explosives in the Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job.
9/11 Commissioners:
The Commission’s co-chairs said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements.
#18). Lee Hamilton, 9/11 Commission co-chair, says "I don’t believe for a minute we got everything right", that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, and that the 9/11 debate should continue.
#19). Timothy Roemer, 9/11 Commissioner, said "We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting".
#20). Max Cleland, 9/11 Commissioner, resigned from the Commission, stating: "It is a national scandal"; "This investigation is now compromised"; and "One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up".
#21). Bob Kerrey, 9/11 Commissioner, said that "There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn’t have access . . . ."
#22). John Farmer, Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission — who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry — recently said "At some level of the government, at some point in time…there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened". He also said "I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true."

Other government officials:
#23). General Wesley Clark, U.S. General, Commanding General of U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, decorated with the Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Purple Heart said "We’ve never finished the investigation of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intelligence information it had. The evidence seems pretty clear to me. I’ve seen that for a long time."
#24). Morton Goulder, former Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford, and Carter former Deputy Director to the White House Task Force on Terrorism, along with Edward L. Peck, and former US Department of State Foreign Service Officer J. Michael Springmann, jointly call for a new investigation into 9/11.
#25). John Loftus, former Federal Prosecutor, Office of Special Investigations, U.S. Department of Justice under Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan; former U.S. Army Intelligence officer, and currently a widely-sought media commentator on terrorism and intelligence services says "The information provided by European intelligence services prior to 9/11 was so extensive that it is no longer possible for either the CIA or FBI to assert a defense of incompetence." The Group Director on matters of national security in the U.S. Government Accountability Office said that President Bush did not respond to unprecedented warnings of the 9/11 disaster and conducted a massive cover-up instead of accepting responsibility.
#26). Lt. Col. Jeff Latas, President of the U.S. Air Force Accident Investigation Board, who also served as Pentagon Weapons Requirement Officer and as a member of the Pentagon’s Quadrennial Defense Review, and who was awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses for Heroism, four Air Medals, four Meritorious Service Medals, and nine Aerial Achievement Medals is a member of a group which doubts the government’s version of 9/11.
#27). Col. Ronald D. Ray, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan said that the official story of 9/11 is "the dog that doesn’t hunt".
#28). Louis Freeh, the former director of the FBI says there was a cover up by the 9/11 Commission.
#29). Col. Robert Bowman, Director of the U.S. "Star Wars" space defense program in both Republican and Democratic administrations, who was a senior air force colonel who flew 101 combat missions stated: "If our government had merely [done] nothing, and I say that as an old interceptor pilot–I know the drill, I know what it takes, I know how long it takes, I know what the procedures are, I know what they were, and I know what they’ve changed them to–if our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the Twin Towers would still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. "That is treason!"
#30). Numerous other politicians, judges, legal scholars, and attorneys also question at least some aspects of the government’s version of 9/11.

9/11 was a peak Spectacle:
There is unironically a great essay to be written on the continuity of spectacle that was 9/11 to the invasion of Iraq. it's a type of spectacle we'll never see again - just as every war will falter by comparison to WW2, any terrorist attack short of an anime-style colony drop is going to falter by comparison to 9/11, and any pre-war propaganda effort falter by comparison to Iraq. the archivist can take great pleasure in looking at the events through the early-ish eyes of the mass-user internet, while at the same time seeing the concentrated nonsense that television and newspapers were spewing out in much greater quantities as people put their tapes up on YouTube.

The nature of the spectacle has changed infinitely since September 11th, 2001. it would not be the event it is today if people were live-tweeting before they jumped, if instead of limited communication networks being utterly overwhelmed by an unexpected event, you had the horror-deluge of the modern web. if instead of a smattering of iconic TV footage you had an infinity of phone-camera footage? it's redundant to ask: that is a timeline we'll never be privy to.

A submission for those who've not seen it: archive of 9/11 happening in realtime on Something Awful. http://www.truegamer.net/SA_911/911%20SATHREAD/

Also the resulting counterculture (Green Day for example) had been a phenomena in itself.

Journalists uncovered the identity of the agents who blocked sharing of information with the FBI about the location and intent of the 9/11 hijackers in the week leading up to 9/11. They discovered correlation and funding links between the CIA and 9/11 hijackers going back to the early 90s, and the day before publishing it in 2011 they were threatened with espionage charges if they were to publish the names(muh free speech!). The same day the names were confirmed and published by whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds, who claims that 9/11 and the wars in the middle east are part of "Operation Gladio B" that replaced Gladio after the fall of the Soviet Union.

The Rat Water Treading experiment - pic. The cartel and CIA do something like that; they cut or bind someone's limbs until they're just a torso with a head and then sink people inside boiling oil or water until they pass out, then they get a doctor to revive them and keep doing that until they die or get bored.

>similar experiments got done using dogs (depicted in Plague Dogs)

Also how learned helplessness (basically the opposite of what OP shows) was discovered.
>put rats in cage with electrified floor
>give run current through the floor now and then
>at first rats freak out and try to escape the cage
>rats eventually realize that they can't avoid the shock and stop trying, just lying down and accepting the suffering
>rats who did not give up (because the experiment was stopped before that point) will try to avoid the shocky floor if put in the same situation again
>rats who gave up will not even begin to try avoiding the shocky floor
>even if put in a new cage where half the floor is safe, the rats won't avoid the shocky floor once they give in to despair
>even if put in a novel situation with a different sort of negative stimulus, they won't try to avoid that either
>once rats learn helplessness they won't protect themselves from suffering in general anymore, even suffering more painful than the shocky cage, even life-threatening situations
>all rats will eventually develop this state if you cause them pain with no way out for long enough
Learned helplessness is very well documented in people too. It's a common result of child abuse. However, unlike rats, you can explain learned helplessness to a person and they can unlearn it.

I think all those torture experiments are completely worthless, and we should instead figure out why these people come up with the idea of torturing people and animals, there has to be something wrong with their brains.
If you wanted to do useful science you'd be trying to figure out what a good environments for an organism is.
Consider the following, they are creating a stack of know-how for torturing, what possible legit use case could that have ?

Impossible - anything can be tracked and a message board is especially easy to track. If you're not a troll or a glowie, then find someone like Assange and send them anonymous information by mail or something.

Requesting books on the U.S Intelligence community, especially the CIA and NSA. I'm interested in their history, anything they've been involved with, how they work etc. From a leftist perspective would be appreciated as well. Currently reading Surveillance Valley by Yasha Levine, which is pretty good for some basic observation and history.
