Key Notes
Jiang claims governments keep secret supplies of drugs as emergency wealth if society collapses and needs to be rebuilt.
MK Ultra is presented as a 1950s and 1960s CIA program to test drugs, hypnosis, interrogation, and brainwashing on innocent citizens and through foreign intelligence settings.
Jiang says MK Ultra worked but its effectiveness was hidden, and its results spread through society in social media and drug-based psychological treatment.
Jiang says Brave New World and various forms of drugs or chemical manipulation belong to the same control architecture as AI surveillance.
Jiang says elite schools such as Yale train people toward a Frankist style of life and that sustained evil traps a person in further evil that must be numbed with drugs or excess.
Jiang argues that America is an empire and that empires historically generate wealth through three linked mechanisms: slavery, debt, and drugs.
Jiang defines the global deep state's power base as control over three profit systems: debt and finance, slavery and trafficking, and drugs.
