You know how in the matrix anybody can turn into an "agent"?


We saw that reality play out many, many times during Covid warfare.

Most humans are sleeping NPCs waiting to become agents and most that are "unplugged" sadly become Cypher.



Funny book when you realize how often he uses the phrase "invisible government."

"THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country."
- Edward L. Bernays

How was fugitive Kaitlin Armstrong caught?

Daisy Sainsbury on the extraordinary life of Eugène-François Vidocq (1775–1857), the founder of modern criminology who had a rap sheet longer than his very tall tales:


If Vidocq’s legacy was contested at his death, it continues to be so today. He enjoys a cult-like status among certain criminologists, not least the members of the Vidocq Society, an American organisation where forensic experts, detectives, FBI agents, and amateur sleuths get together to solve cold cases, inspired by “the father of modern criminal investigation”.

For Michel Foucault, however, he represents “the disturbing moment when criminality became one of the mechanisms of power.”13 Echoing this, Graham Robb, reviewing a 2003 re-edition of Vidocq’s memoirs, applauds editor Robin Walz’s new preface which presents Vidocq “as a forerunner of the ‘scammers and scoundrels’ in giant American corporations who profit from state-funded violence and who advertise their greed as a self-righteous war on evil.” “It is nice to see”, Robb continues, “that, after a century and a half of misinformed adulation, Vidocq is finally getting his just deserts.”

Curious looking planes...
