I’m asked what the DISC is concretely. An old example of The Distributed Idea Suppression Complex in 4 photos:
I) The Hispanic towns of Bishop, Palo Verde & la Loma, clockwise from Left. 1948.
II) Now.
III) Moving Day (Aurora Vargas).
IV) Walter O’Malley.

The DISC does *not* usually try to ensure that you can’t find the story. It may even bring up the story tangentially in something like a “To be sure...” paragraph or in occasional features. It merely ensures that the reality now paved over never becomes operational.

The story of the disappearance of these towns and the treatment of their residents is an active act of daily forgetting. Supposed free market conservatives were looking to confiscate property rights of home owners below market value & willing to wield the power of the state.
