J.D. Rucker reminds us that Donald Trump is not a perfect human being. While he was an excellent president, he has an ego that hurts him. It has turned him into a politician (which is not healthy). If President Trump, our last legally elected POTUS, would show humility and admit that he was tricked by the Fauci's and the WEF, it could warm all but the coldest and WOKEst hearts.
It was great fun reading that link (and especially the stories about Billy Hitchcock). I think STORMING HEAVEN and BIRTH OF A PSYCHEDELIC CULTURE are more interesting than ACID DREAMS.
My only criticism of your well-documented connections is your suggestion that Howard Hughes might have been a prisoner at the Xanadu Beach Resort. From what I've read about Hughes, he might have needed keepers to protect himself, but it's hard to imagine his being a prisoner. I also take issue with your conclusion that Steve Bannon has been disgraced. True, he was found in contempt of Congress; but he wanted his inquisition to be public and televised. One might conclude that he had damning evidence that the Swamp did not want disclosed.
I will need to hunt some better titles on LSD culture than the above. I have them listed. Evidently in both Acid Dreams and Storming Heaven details were left out. I have not read Birth of a Psychedelic Culture.
With Hughes a fine line between needing "minders" and being a prisoner.
As to Bannon, I have said frequently Trump made a mistake dumping Bannon.
On the other hand, Trump's inner circle did not include Bannon. They disliked Bannon. Jared especially. The Left instantly linked him to the Neo Nazi. The Left links everything not Left to the Neo Nazi. Jared and. his wife, and Donald too prior to his Presidency were New York liberals. Respectable rich.
As to Bannon - even the so called Right quasi-disowns him: they essentially buy into Left Gatekeeping which also is interesting as a line in the sand. I have to think about this further but evidently given the shape of our polity and the money in play the
globalist ideas are essentially agreed upon and deviance only to a certain extent is permissible.
“Imagine for a moment what it looks like from our perspective,” Brad Griffin, proprietor of Occidental Dissent wrote. “You write for a pro-White website like the Council of Conservative Citizens, AmRen, or VDARE, you have been labeled and stigmatized as an ‘extremist,’ ‘notorious racist’ and a ‘member of a hate group,’ and when you wake up in the morning and look for the subject to write about, say a refugee rapist, you realize that it is semi-pointless because UK Daily Mail or WorldNetDaily has already covered it. What is there left to do but link to the Breitbart story?”
Griffin attributes this shift to a “California Gold Rush of clicks” that has driven journalism outlets desperate for ad revenue to look for increasingly extreme and polarizing topics to cover. It’s notable that while an outlet like the Daily Mail may have initially covered the story, Griffin and his compatriots prefer the editorial styling of Breitbart.
“I think Breitbart has had a positive impact on our culture and politics,” Griffin wrote in January. “It is unwittingly engaging in what I call ‘discourse poisoning’. I assume the profit motive is at work here – anyway, it benefits us to erode taboos, so I don’t really care how much money they make. You could also say that we can look at Breitbart as a model that those of us who are further to the Right ought to be doing instead of writing history lectures or boring essays about obscure philosophers no one cares about.”
James Kirkpatrick took a similar stance at VDARE last Fall, writing, “The Truth: Breitbart is not ‘extreme’ – even the best journalism at that site just recycles the same material VDARE.com has been pushing for more than a decade.”
I think in an interesting way there may be a mirroring between Trump and Hughes. Trump is not his own man. He was controlled by his family and the hand picked people around him. Hughes too not his own man. Controlled by those around him.
Of course in history we see frequently Monarchs are also not their own men. The ones who control the information flow control the leader.

Donald cannot. Jared made a lot of money.
