"Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime...San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of...
History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of "history" it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons nobody really understands at the time--and which never explains in retrospect, what actually happened...
There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda...You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning...
So now, less than five years later, you can go up a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost SEE the high water mark--that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back."
Hunter S. Thompson Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Say what you will about Hunter, but he was a fine writer and a counterculture icon.
Here we are almost 50 years later and I feel like the tide finally turned again. The water went out so far, for so long, that it looked like it would never come in again. The water is rising now, though, and it'll keep coming in for the next 50 years. We might not ever be able to pinpoint the low water mark but things will just keep getting better and better until someday, 2 generations from now, our grandsons and granddaughters decide to stick it to the man, and rightfully so.
Shall we play a game once more?
Excerpts from Wikipedia, discussion below.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%932021_Haitian_protests
Opening sentence: Protests began in cities throughout Haiti on 7 July 2018 in response to increased fuel prices.
^That date...
2019
December
On 10 December, the US House Foreign Affairs Committee began hearings on the situation in Haiti, which Frederica Wilson had pushed for. At the hearing, Maxine Waters was sharply critical of US support for the sitting president. Neither the State Department nor USAID was present at the hearings.[2]
Arrest of foreign mercenaries
The Port-au-Prince newspaper Le Nouvelliste reported on 18 February 2019 that a Haitian citizen and seven non-Haitians were arrested in the city. At the time of their arrest, they were carrying rifles, pistols, drones and satellite phones in their vehicle, which had no license plates.[47] The Haitian Foreign Minister Bocchit Edmond confirmed that among them were five Americans.[48] According to the editor of Haïti Liberté, the group included two former Navy SEALs, a former Blackwater employee, and two Serbian mercenaries living in the US. They were tasked with protecting the former head of the National Lottery, who intended to transfer US$80 million from a PetroCaribe bank account—controlled jointly by the President, the Prime Minister, and the President of the Central Bank—to a bank account solely controlled by President Jovenel Moïse.[49]

The span of Moïse's term in office was disputed, sparking a constitutional crisis.

So, it looks like he assumed power following a deeply contested election with enough additional integrity issues that it became a constitutional crisis. People protesting anti-corruption, ties to Venezuela, same date as the protests started 2 years ago, and maxine waters loved him... Some serious coincidences and connections here, and it's barely registering a blip on the radar.
Someone wanna ask the question? Ok, I will...did Haiti use Dominion voting machines?
Latin time.
Here's some tips regarding in-depth research on particular topics (aka Deep Diving)
Be careful where you stick your nose. You know what they say about cats and curiosity.
1: Check Links - Similar to the oldfag agage "Always check the file extension on creepypasta...Always" Don't click sketchy domains (3rd world countries, sketchy developed countries, .biz, .wierddomainhere, etc) if the search engine description appears to be exactly what you're searching for, it's probably anything but. You might as well type "deepstate" and click "I'm feeling lucky". You're searching for diamonds in the rough, and it wont be handed to you on a silver platter. Be wary.
2: Official Websites - Maybe waltzing through the front door of your research subject company or organization's website is not the best idea. Inbound traffic is logged, including IP addresses, visit duration, the webpage you're coming from (if applicable), areas of the site you visited, etc. For example, today's news of the Evergreen Shipping cargo ship stuck in the Suez. If I was investigating possible ties between Evergreen Shipping and a shadowy cabal involved in human trafficking, I would absolutely not visit the Evergreen Shipping website.
3: Timing - See above. Perhaps you could check the Evergreen site at a time when its receiving a lot of traffic after a news article breaks...or perhaps they're giving all traffic extra scrutiny to see who's being nosy...your call...
4: News Articles - Get in the habit of using the 'news' tab on search engines. You can search by date, most recent, etc. Chances are (decent journalists do exist, contrary to what CNN would lead you to believe) someone has already done a bit of legwork for you. Any decent journalist will also have sourced their work, giving you more leads to follow. These days, with the sad state of the media narrative, you also may be able to glean information by what they choose to omit from their articles. You should be able to tell at a glance what news sites are shill and what are legit. Bullshit comes in many forms and is certainly not restricted to mainstream media.
5: Wikipedia - Love it or hate it, it's hands-down the quickest and easiest way to brush up on almost any topic in existence. Also check article sources for furthur leads and page edit history for anomalies.
6: Tangents - Going off on a tangent is the name of the game and often will lead to paydirt. You should be exploring all avenues connected to the subject and maintaining the ability to retrace your steps. Meaning, be able to relocate a passage you read hours or days ago.
I guess that's all for now.
