Just jumping in on the conversation...
I totally agree that this post has some excellent discussion going on. However, I have major concerns about links being included to the site in question. Had they not been included, I would not have had any objections to the post staying up. As a mod, though, it is our job to think of the best interests of the group, as a whole. Having seen anons do and try just about everything under the sun, it is inevitable that a few anons will attempt to visit this site. It's a tough call, but in light of the links being freely available, I think it is best not to repost this.
This sounds like a James Bond movie:
The James Bond movie with a plot involving a DNA-targeting weapon is No Time to Die (2021). The bioweapon, called Project Heracles, uses nanobots programmed to target specific individuals or groups based on their DNA. -- Grok
Predictive programming at its finest...
In Biblical times, the woman had the final say on whether she agreed to marry a man or not. The man would present her with a cup of wine. If she agreed to the marriage, she would take a sip from the cup. If she refused the marriage, she would reject the cup.
If she agreed, the marriage document would be signed in front of the town elders and both parties would return to their homes to prepare for the wedding feast.
So to take this a step farther, God makes us an offer and we, as the bride, have the choice of whether to accept or reject this offer.
"Then, when the books don't sell, the bookstores rip the covers off and return the covers for a full refund. The inside of the books are dumped in the trash. The "books sold" number is never adjusted.
I am 99% sure that bookstores are offered incentives to order large numbers of particular books in order to ensure the books has a high "books sold" number."
As a former bookseller, only mass-market paperback books have the covers ripped off and returned to the publisher for a refund. All other books have to be sold somehow. Worst case scenario, dead stock is sent to another store when a store is being closed. Book prices will then be reduced until the inventory is gone.
For chains, an individual store generally does not decide which books will be purchased for their particular location. They sell whatever books the head office sends to them. It is up to each individual store to do whatever they can to sell them, mainly by featuring the books in a prominent way. You'd be amazed how many people will buy a book just because it is placed front and center.
It sounds to me that Vaughn was allowed to live, for whatever reason -- and that he was MK-Ultra'ed to forget everything that had happened. It also appears that he somehow broke the programming.
Was he a real-life Jason Bourne?
"Members of the group swear a lifelong oath of loyalty, called a covenant..."
There's only three letters separating "covenant" from "coven."
coven /kŭv′ən, kō′vən/ noun
-
A clique that shares common interests or activities.
-
A formal group or assembly of witches.
Let's dehumanize half of the population. Yeah, that seems like a good idea -- said no sane person ever. 🙄
