Reflections on a world with too much spying

This is about what prompted the increased Twitter activity of late, starting I think last Tuesday. In order to understand what happened, there are a number of concepts not generally accepted and known in the public sphere that seem to be prevalent in parts of the intelligence community. It seems that this is mostly among a certain breed of contractor or contract employee. The first concept is use of the occult and supernatural as cover. MK/Often, which turned out to be the study of pharmaceutical side effects and cataloging the same, was described by head of CIA technical services Sidney Gottlieb as to do with fortune tellers, ESP, etc. A complete lie to put people—mostly the Soviets—off the scent. There are multiple similar anecdotes, including things like the original appearance of the Men in Black to discredit witnesses of rocket and plane test flights most likely. It makes some sense and is perhaps less ogrish than Putin world’s constant threat of painful death. But this is kind of

What a mess. This was going to be one post but the next one is growing and I dislike doing long posts because I think it’s hard enough to get people to read short ones. I don’t know exactly what this all means but I’m getting closer. Besides all the stuff I’ve already talked about a bit, which probably needs some refining and posting here so as to make some sense of what transpired in and around 2003 leading to 2005 and then of course 2009/2010 (Iraq, limited harassment events, and then the start of a dozen years of unlimited, non-stop zersetzung resulting in me doing my damnedest to demoralize CIA itself in self-defense). It was still obviously to do with disagreements between CIA and Cheney, the latter having created his own intelligence analysis office taking the former’s raw intelligence and “re-analyzing” it out of one of his own offices. Clearly. Having reminded everyone of that, that is I was a useful idiot and an unwitting asset of CIA’s (even though I still agree that what Ch

7 October 2022 update. Or, "Did Russia really send toddler 'Manchurian candidates' to the US?" The original post below is in some ways broken. In the months that followed that post, the death of my son and that of yet a fourth person of my acquaintance * (six if you count Kevin Gallagher and Jay Liederman), some unknown form of harassment ceased. It had been such a common and frequent companion over the past dozen years or so that I hadn't entirely believed that the source of "it" was external any longer. Given its abrupt end and other factors to be discussed at a later date ( if necessary ), it seems clear that it was of external origin. The result of it stopping is that I am better able to cope and better able to objectively evaluate situations (though I am still, as one can see in this case, deprived of detailing facts and so am still relegated to "sniffing" out the truth, guessing based on the very basic and scant events I am privy to, and
