Wayback does have a capture of OpSnowWhite w Michael Baum... too often folks assume someone else will save pages when nobody does bother to save them.. it's not always about influence sometimes its about individuals failing to do it themselves.
GLK: Thanks. Fascinating. If you read "Weapons of Mass Instruction" you'll realize your brother's success without a college degree is not an unusual story. I'm convinced that it is schooling, from pre-K through college, which has dumbed down the entire nation, and is the major reason we are in a free-fall of collapse. Before universal, mandatory schooling (by the early 20th century), we had a literacy rate of 98% (the ability to read on a fourth-grade level). By 1970, this had dropped to 73% (among draftees). Schooling is explicitly not an educational endeavor, but a means of creating an obedient, docile, unthinking population to feed employees to employers. Those of us who survived that system are those who love learning for its own sake and are contrarian enough to be skeptical of authority and the expert class. If I had to do it again, I would home-school my own offspring, and avoid pediatricians like the plague.
Really good terminology, 'handlers' and great point that it doesn't discredit those associated with them, only show that they're being compromised. Which means that they shouldn't be trusted but not that they're inherently dishonest, just naive.
And that smarmy middle manager, yes, is a pfucking asshole.

Speaking of thoughtful suspicions I am curious of opinions on Major Jason P Lowery?
Allegedly his book: “Softwar - A Novel Theory on Power Projection and The National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin” was banned by The Pentagon after being in publication this year for only 5mos.
Indeed, I cannot find it for sale anywhere, unavailable at Amazon (although reviews are still up) or in any format except eBay where out of print copies of his book are listed for tens of thousands of dollars.
I’ve watched his interviews. He presents like the antithesis of the nefarious activities going on today. I like what he says but being a young military officer (Space Force) I wonder how he’s getting away with saying it?
So I’m left to wonder. Is Lowery the real deal? Or is he just another cog in the complex psyops machine?
The book is out of my price range. Heck, if we’d known in Feb they’d ban the book in June we’d have bought a case of them at 40 bucks apiece.
I saw one person asking $100,000 for a copy on the secondary market. Most seem to be around $15-20K. Whether they’re actually selling at those prices IDK. But, damn. That’s a helluva ask.
So I found a guy online that took it upon himself to read the book aloud. He’s not a great orator so it’s a bit painful. However I got through the first chapter.
And, I’ve listened to Lowery speak at multiple venues online. So I get the gist.
He appears very bright. Perhaps genius level. I have to admit, as someone that holds Bitcoin, his assessment of it as a strategic weapon akin to the invention of gunpowder blew my mind.
It’s all I’ve been chewing on these last few days. It’s kind of, dare I admit (?) consuming me.
Whenever that happens I’ve got to take a step back and fire up the bullshit detector. Is this guy really a revolutionary or am I being bamboozled?
That’s where you come in, Mathew. I need your big brains and penchant for research to please check this out. I don’t think you’ll be sorry. I think you’ll be deeply intrigued.
Love to hear from you on this. His is an angle on Bitcoin (and war itself) I never saw coming.
From the abstract: "Current analysis of Bitcoin's underlying proof-of-work technology is almost exclusively based on financial, monetary, or economic theory. Recycling the same theoretical frameworks when performing hypothesis-deductive analysis of Bitcoin has the potential to create systemic-level analytical bias which could negatively impact public policy making efforts and could even pose a threat to US national security. This thesis introduces a novel theoretical framework for analyzing the potential national strategic impact of Bitcoin as an electro-cyber security technology rather than a pee-to-peer cash system. The goal of this thesis is to give the research community a different frame of reference they can utilize to generate hypotheses and deductively analyze the potential risks and rewards of proof-of-work technologies as something other than strictly monetary technology. The author asserts it would be beneficial for researchers to explore alternative functionality of proof-of-work technologies to eliminate potential blind spots, provide a more well-rounded understanding of the risks and rewards of proof-of-work protocols like Bitcoin, and positively contribute to the development of more informed public policy in support of the March 2022 US Presidential Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity."
Why are they using the ELISA test assay for a virus? Isn't this the one used for Tuberculosis, a bacterial infection? Said so on the Netflix documentary about the Cecil Hotel.... The WWF adverts are starting to rankle, so invested in Climate Change, selling us sugar water key rings for bees when they know it's the pesticides causing colony collapse..
Thank you so much, Mathew. The interview with Leo was really good. No impact of primates, or any other animals, and little impact on humans. I presumed the plandemic was a psy-op early on, since I stopped believing the TV (or watching it) long ago. For about twenty-five years (until 2015) I subscribed to the New Yorker. In the '90's, there was a lot of good stuff published, but by the early 2000's they began occasionally publishing fear-porn about diseases and pandemics. Their handler had upped his game. My high-school best bud joined Scientology in college; I lost contact with him, so I don't know what came of it. The more I learn about this outfit, the creepier it becomes. I now wonder, has it become a subsidiary of the NSA? It obviously wasn't during the Snow White episode.
I think that Scientology was a military intelligence operation from its inception. I will be writing about further connections to the intelligence community.
Kurt: Read "One Country under Blackmail; the sordid union between intelligence and Organized Crime which led to the rise of Jeffrey Epstein," by Whitney Webb. It's a stinking cesspool. I got the two-volume set from my public library.
This site has some info on Michael Baum. If you scroll down, there's some info on another lawyer called Martin Greenberg who may be worth checking out:
I’m super ignorant about much of this. How might this dovetail with the WEF? Who controls who? The thing about totalitarians is they never work well with other totalitarians. The bigger the conspiracy the less manageable it becomes.
It's interesting how all these people interviewing Dundas take her stories at face value without any evidence at all, even with some of the stories sounding [IMHO] quite bizarrely contradictory. I've talked with somebody who was in military intelligence about Dundas's claim that Navy Seals raided one or more of the brothels, and he just laughed. Somebody who used to work in humint told me, completely seriously, "Why wouldn't [the U.S. military] control the world's drug and human trafficking trades?" when I asked him if it was true that they did.
The A21 org that Dundas says she worked with is run by a Hillsong Church elder. That's a church founded by a child rapist. Draw your own conclusions.
I can't hear the sarcasm in typing...but from the little I know...I would assume the govt and military controls drug and human trafficking. Am I wrong to think that. I am seriously asking? It sounds like a dumb question I know.
While in Vietnam in ‘69 my brother witnessed “Air America” drug planes among other shady things.
He’d tell you the Vietnam drug trade was how the CIA funded covert activities w/o having to go hat in hand to Congress.
I think Nixon got revenge for Watergate by ending the war thus cutting off their piggy bank. Yes, I know technically Pres Ford signed the treaty but it was Nixon that painted them into a corner.
That war also served as genocide by patriotism because it took (murdered) mostly kids from poor neighborhoods sans prospects.
If you could swing college you’d receive a deferment. Do college deferments sound rational or equitable?
But it did shift the employment paradigm from HS to college and funded the indoctrination camps we have today.
Knowing all this, do we really think covert intelligence activities have gotten more transparent or morally virtuous since 1969?
GLK: Thanks. Lots of good points. I was one of those with a college deferment. It certainly wasn't fair, but it saved my ass. Funny thing is, I think college was an almost complete waste of time; at least it was cheap then ($62 in fees per semester; about %50 for books). General Vang Pao, who was the head of all the Hmong forces fighting alongside U.S. forces in Viet Nam, was Laos' principle heroin trafficker.
It’s refreshing to hear someone admit college was a waste of time. Thanks for your honesty.
It’s funny. My brother never went to college but wound up in a very lucrative career for a Wall St investment firm.
He could tell you many first hand accounts of slimy activities he saw in ‘Nam c/o Uncle Sam. He wound up only one of two survivors in his unit over there. He presumes Pres Johnson’s soul is rotting in hell.
Fortunately (and unfortunately) he got drafted in his last year of eligibility. So he wasn’t 19 years old like most. He was already married and had a budding career.
His maturity was an advantage. He saw through the bullshit early-on. Never took drugs or drank alcohol while there. Stayed sharp, had some lucky breaks and made it home alive.
Vietnam was the government’s way of making a boatload of cash and purging the undesirables out of circulation. Both by war and by getting a certain neighborhood demographic hooked on drugs. Which have since spilled over everywhere.
But, that’s old news. They’ve got mRNA to cull the herd now.

You are The Man! Thanks! Unfortunately you cannot save on your hard drive, print, nor copy/paste but it’s better than nothing.

Cyprus 2019 they 'discovered' Remdesivir worked on Feline Infectious Peritonitis, not sure who made that off label leap. https://cyprus-mail.com/2023/04/05/vets-call-for-human-medicines-to-fight-feline-coronavirus/. Now 10,000 - 300,000 cats are dead, depending who you believe... NHS website says don't give it to anyone who weighs less than 40 kg - https://metro.co.uk/2023/08/10/covid-treatment-cyprus-cats-deadly-outbreak-19311408/

Mathew: Thanks. I wouldn't be at all surprised.
Scientology an intel operation? Interesting hypothesis. Epstein as well?
Funny you ask about Epstein since Robert Maxwell took at least a few Scientology courses himself.

Thank you. I had seen that first link, but wasn't sure if I had the documentation.
I’m super ignorant about much of this. How might this dovetail with the WEF? Who controls who? The thing about totalitarians is they never work well with other totalitarians. The bigger the conspiracy the less manageable it becomes.
If only it were easy to identify the structure at the top of the hierarchy. I suspect that it's a sort of high level mafia family.
I suspect competing hierarchies, controlled or guided by the central banks, but maybe I'm full of it.
Dundas is being promoted on Iversen

Read The Politics of the Drug Trade by Alfred McCoy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Politics_of_Heroin_in_Southeast_Asia
Mike: The "intelligence" community does. Read Whitney Webb's book.
Webb is a treasure and her books are a good stiff dose of reality.
Holy Crap...seriously??
