It's dry like any instruction manual but is pretty eye opening/paranoia inducing.

Reminds me of checking out r/communism and one of the first posts was about how their mods were CIA.

That book looks cool Frownland, I have a few old Vietnam books from an old Vietnam vet I knew before he died.


I would think that book is highly outdated compared to psyops currently, but still, a cool good book to read what they did, then.

On the final Dickens novel, which is incidentally the first he wrote (or published anyway), The Pickwick Papers. ****ing hilarious! The man could really do comedy. As a first effort, this must have blown people away in the nineteenth century. The kid's going places!

Thumbin through the bible a bit lately and Lot's story about how he got his daughters pregnant is pretty unconvincing.

I like that part in the Book of Judges when the Jews are conquering Israel and God gets mad cause they don't commit enough genocide.
