Unrelated but a similar level of utterly horrifying conspiracy connections.
Last December I read a book called Revolution's End by Brad Schreiber about how the CIA developed its brainwashing techniques by experimenting on African-American prisoners with all sorts of torture techniques and psychedelic drugs to "rewrite their personalities" during the 50's 60's and 70's. Nightmare stuff.
I pieced together that the descriptions of their test subjects fit extremely similarly with the descriptions I have read from survivors of MEK and Daesh terrorists. "Zombies" "Shell people" or "robotic" is how a lot of literature and interviews describes the people who came out of US torture centers in Iraq and then created ISIS. Same thing with MEK, all the people who escaped their cult (Mek leaders of course trained by the CIA) discuss being turned into a "drone" through their methods of personality rewriting.
It got me thinking about how imperialism has an army of psychiatrists and psychologists constantly waging mind war on the planet all the time and I ended up spiraling out for a few weeks. The depravity of the US empire knows no limits...
From that book
Don't forget to schedule it on a Saturday when you're sure to minimally disrupt the flow of capital accumulation. Also rent a stage for your speakers and make sure your gathering is approved by the local government 👌
