I've seen discussions on here about Biden winning this year because he works in the ruling class's interest.

If the CIA really did just push a button at Langley and decide the next president, why not Hilary?

She's a corporate ghoul like the rest of them, loves war, everyone expected her to win, and the election was close enough to be plausible either way. She would have been a more reliable, or at least knowable, asset to the deep state than Trump.

She would have been the same mid president as Trump, but it would have been more of a banality of evil approach. Everyone's material conditions would have gotten worse in the same way but there wouldn't have been the media circus around everything she did.

So why do you think the 'most qualified' person for the job didn't win last time? And what could that say about this year?

      Talks abt the CIA's patronage relationship with journalists, leaks happening for inter agency or careerist intra agency power struggles and shit, he wrote it after he felt his writing about the Phoenix Program got bowlderized by others. They're both on libgen. he's like an old lib now like many writers

        I’ve read part of Inventing Reality is covers similar topics, although not exclusively about CIA relationships with the media. I’ll check it out

          It calls people out with amazing accuracy in a way that is unfortunately even more relevant decades later. People are just aggregating the CIA patronage ppl he refers to into an influencer reality show rock tumbler for brains :3 have fun
