Tom Wolfe knew things.
He seems to do a lot of 'winking' in "Bonfire of the Vanities".

Did you know that the Federal Reserve has SIX directors and member banks receive a 6 percent dividend?

I found this in a 1977 document where they admit that the Federal Reserve is not Federal and is actually a private bank.

Image
Even our president gets in on the triple sixes.

Our last president did too. He even got the St. Moritz for $6mil above asking price.

This book was published in 1879 by a german-american luther who wrote for the 'schaff-herzog' encylopedia of religious knowledge. It recounts the Bar-Kokhba Jewish revolt against the Roman Empire in ~132 A.D.
(I've done previous tweet threads about the Flavians).

Image
And lastly, of course there's the 6 million we all know from World War 2.

But, did you know that according to the Library of Congress, as early as 1918, 6 millions Jews were already starving? Image

The biggest international news story (no one knows about) broke in May of 1981. A radio broadcaster named Mae Brussell broke it down in real-time. Like a savant she connects dots that will COMPLETELY change how you look at history: From Watergate to JFK to Jonestown.

(🧵1 of 9)
She reveals in her broadcast that news stories we all know individually: assassination of JFK, RFK, John Lennon, Bangladesh's and Ecuador's President, attempt on Reagan, King of Spain, and Pope John Paul II are actually all connected and occurred in rapid succession

(🧵 2 of 9)
She called it "A State WITHIN a State".

Mae Brussell did all this without the benefit of decades of retrospective research, like books written today. She did it AS it happened in May of 1981.

synthesizing tons of newspaper articles and dozens of books for us.

23 years after airing, I gave BBC's "Neuromancer" a try. (I didnt want to ruin my memory of the books).

If you (re)listen today, it's amazing what holds up : use of AI, the oligarchs, political intrigue of megacorps. And (of course) first use of the word "cyberspace" (🧵1 of 5)
William Gibson wrote amazing prose, but this BBC version misses some of his more poetic details, like this favorite scene of mine. In the book, Case isnt just laughing, his cheeks are streaked with tears of release. One of my favorite scenes as a teen/young adult

The tech bits not only hold up, but the way society USES the tech does also. Amazing tech is ultimately just leveraged for surveillance, military, and hedonistic "bread and circus" for the masses. Pretty amazing to be that prescient in the first years of the 1980s.

The BBC Radio play "Medici" is a good listen. A concise history of the banking Dynasty from Cosimo and his father down through Alessandro the black (Moor) Duke of Florence, down to Catherine the "Serpent Queen" of France.

(🧵1 of 5)
The music is great and the show has small bits of historical references woven into the script for you to catch. the show also has lots of good one-liners like:

"you have ancient blood and modern hopes"
"you carry your own end within you"
"take time for your revenge"

(🧵2 of 5)
The show also gives the historical timeline in a clever way: by reading off P&L statements so the listener gets an idea of the size of the Medici wealth relative to other European powers, families, and rulers.

Metatron reference in "Gravity's Rainbow".

once again: Thomas Pynchon, way ahead of the pack.

Pynchon books are parapolitical periscopes. Deep-politics and hidden-history masquerading as fiction. Image

It just came out that the CCP hacked a buncha U.S. voting systems in 2020. U.S. Intel knew it and hid it from the public! This should be the biggest new story but:

Media: Crickets
Intel community: Crickets
Infosec folks: Crickets

See? this is why I dont f*ck wit yall no more. Image
Image
Also, the CIA has since retracted 19 fake "election" intelligence reports

I was always proud of being in the Infosec community.

It was always based on TRUTH. Information Freedom Fighters. an exploit cuts past marketing and noise. it is a PROOF of reality

We are post-TRUTH and post-REALITY in Infosec. Covid and political crap proved this to me

The official logo of OPERATION Warpspeed that quickly deployed the coronavirus shots, had a strangely occult symbol in it, called the Antahkarana.

Anti-corona. Antekarana.

That antekarana looks curiously like something else also... (🧵 1 of 12) Image
The repeating Antekarana looks suspiciously like the "Greek Key" or "Meander" pattern found in lots of Greek and Roman architecture and Greek pottery (amphoras, wine flagons, etc).

A variation of Greek Key called "Enigma" is also on the seats of the US Capitol.

(🧵 2 of 12) Image
If that pattern on the seats at the US Capitol look (to you) curiously like something else, you are not alone ;-)
