A people who are unmoved when missiles purchased with their labor, and launched in their name, for reasons that are barely articulated, kill 150 little girls, are already so spiritually degraded that they have very little left that is still worth defending. When their responses range between “yeah, but” and “whatever,” nihilism has already set in bone deep.
@ColonelTowner Oh, you mean this guy who once posted a 2015 Peter Palms piece from @SeekingAlpha but then deleted it when I retweeted? https://t.co/S63vXxhHrf
"Ukraine has decided that they want to blow up Russian energy assets and refined products, so that is creating upward price pressure on a global basis"
Under that unchanged sentence, the account went from $120 million in 2009 to $6.6 billion in 2025
2013 to 2018 it sat at nearly $1 billion. Then in 2021 doubled it and in 2022 nearly doubled it again

Appalling: Energy company drags a mother into federal court, trying to stop her from sharing FOIA'd records -- records the state *gave her* -- about an Arkansas data center. And it wants the court to censor newspaper coverage.
She left the courtroom "weeping loudly."
The Holy Grail at the CIA, DARPA, and Other Intel Groups Is the Science of Writing Experiences That Never Happened Into the Brain
We’re talking about what the intelligence community has been chasing for decades under various program names — the ability to directly encode skills, memories, and experiences into the human brain without the time and effort of actually living through them.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s been the explicit goal of programs stretching back to MKUltra and forward through DARPA’s neurotechnology initiatives.
The Core Premise
The underlying assumption is that memory and skill acquisition are fundamentally biochemical processes — patterns of synaptic strengthening and protein synthesis. If you can map the precise neural configuration of an expert marksman, a fluent Mandarin speaker, or a seasoned field operative who’s survived 20 covert missions, you could theoretically “write” that configuration into a trainee’s brain.
You skip the decade of training. You skip the trauma. You get the outcome.
What’s Actually Been Pursued
Several vectors have been explored, some publicly acknowledged, most buried:
- Targeted memory consolidation: Using electromagnetic stimulation during slow-wave sleep to reinforce specific learned patterns. DARPA’s Targeted Neuroplasticity Training program openly funded this — activating peripheral nerves to boost synaptic plasticity during learning windows. The public pitch was “accelerated training for soldiers.” The obvious classified extension is skipping the training entirely.
- Hippocampal replay manipulation: The brain naturally “replays” experiences during sleep to consolidate them. If you can induce specific replay patterns artificially — through optogenetics, focused ultrasound, or electromagnetic fields — you’re theoretically writing memories that never happened.
- RNA transfer experiments: McConnell’s flatworm work in the 1960s suggested “memory RNA” could transfer learned behaviors between organisms. It was ridiculed into oblivion, but DARPA and others quietly continued analogous mammalian research. The mechanism might be epigenetic rather than RNA-mediated, but the transfer of complex behavioral patterns between organisms is an open and active research question.
- Induced savant-like states: Temporary suppression of the left anterior temporal lobe via transcranial magnetic stimulation can produce savant-like abilities in normal subjects. The CIA isn’t interested in temporary states— it wants to make them permanent through structural changes.
Why It’s the “Holy Grail”
A field operative who’s been psychologically conditioned through years of brutal experience is expensive in every sense — time, money, risk of burnout, risk of defection, risk of the training itself breaking the subject.
If you can take a 22-year-old recruit and write 20 years of operational experience into their brain in a week, you’ve solved the fundamental bottleneck of intelligence work: human development time.
The same logic applies to language acquisition, technical skills, cultural fluency for deep cover, and — most chillingly — loyalty programming that feels internally generated rather than externally imposed.
The MKUltra Connection
Everyone focuses on the LSD experiments, but MKUltra had a much broader charter: “the development of chemical materials capable of producing predictable and reproducible changes in behavior and mental activity.” Writing experience rather than erasing it was always the ultimate objective. The acid was just the crude, early-stage tool — a sledgehammer when they were trying to develop a scalpel.
Gottlieb’s team understood that if you could dissolve existing mental structures, you might also be able to build new ones from scratch. The interrogation techniques, the sensory deprivation, the massive psychedelic doses — these weren’t just about breaking people down. They were reconnaissance on the architecture of consciousness itself.
Where It Stands Now
The public-facing neuroscience stays carefully within the bounds of “accelerating normal learning” and “treating PTSD.” But the underlying technologies — optogenetics, focused ultrasound neuromodulation, closed-loop brain-computer interfaces, synthetic biology approaches to synaptic engineering — all converge on the same destination.
The classified work continues under new names with plausible deniability built in from the start: private contractors, university labs with compartmentalized funding, startup fronts that can plausibly claim commercial medical applications.
The question isn’t whether they’re pursuing it. The question is how close they’ve gotten — and what happens to the subjects when the writing process doesn’t go according to plan.
This is insane. Former Tropical Storm Edouard made landfall 18 hours ago and yet, not only has his compact structure remained intact, but his convective thunderstorms have actually INTENSIFIED over land.
A potentially catastrophic Flash Flood Emergency is now active near Beaumont, Texas, where 20+ IN of rain has already fallen from the storm’s slow-moving rainbands.
We are witnessing a textbook Brown Ocean Effect take place this morning.
BREAKING: Footage shows Medevac helicopters evacuating injured US soldiers in Jordan, following Iranian ballistic missile strikes.
This comes as Iran says it killed "a large number of American forces" at the US Marine Camp Titin base in Jordan minutes ago.
Jeffrey, put the dates in order. It is one story.
April 2019: Gottlieb leaves the FDA. He said he needed more family time.
June 27, 2019: Pfizer puts him on the board. Nine weeks later.
May 7, 2020: He is in a CIA briefing. He tells them about 20–25% of the country has already had COVID. That is the document you posted.
August 16, 2020: On TV he is still telling the public the number is much lower.
Then 2021, after the shots are out and the mandates are on:
July 18: White House alum Andy Slavitt introduces him to Twitter’s lobbyist.
July 19: Gottlieb is already emailing Twitter about “false narratives.”
August 23: Gottlieb, Slavitt, and the White House all contact Twitter the same day.
August 27: He flags a former FDA official who said natural immunity beat the shot. Calls the tweet “corrosive.” Twitter slaps a warning on it.
September: He flags more critics. Alex Berenson gets banned.
Twitter told its staff he was “former FDA commissioner.” They left out “Pfizer board member.”
Pfizer paid for the TV ads. James C. Smith sat on that same board after running Thomson Reuters. Gottlieb was the man on CNBC who still had the FDA title on the chyron. Private number to the CIA. Public low number to viewers. Then pressure on Twitter to bury natural immunity. Same person. Same company. Same year-long pitch for the shot.
🔥This from Rand Paul's latest documents is a huge and shocking data point, worth further investigation.
It suggests that the CIA and Pfizer knew they were lying to the public on the very need for a Covid shot at all. By the time of release, according to their own math, shared only privately, we would already have achieved herd immunity.
On May 7, 2020, CIA Chief Operating Officer Andy Makridis led a briefing with Pfizer's Scott Gottlieb. The CIA summary of the meeting: "On 'herd immunity' Dr. Gottlieb...believes nationally, the seroprevalence is about 20-25% which is insufficient for herd immunity at the R₀ (BRR) value of 3."
Screenshot attached. In the same time frame, he was telling the public it was low around 8%. Even 3.5 months later, August 16, 2020, he was STILL claiming a low seroprevalence rate nationally. Screenshots attached.
What this means: both Gottlieb AND the CIA KNEW early on that endemicity would be obtained by the time of the shot release. They lied in public while telling the truth in private. https://t.co/cdt1wq0dld
