from #166 - You're A Disgrace | The Tim Dillon Show · #166

8 min

Tim details the Russ Baker thesis that the Bush family serves a permanent class of wealthy elites, referencing the 1930s attempted coup against FDR involving General Smedley Butler and how the CIA overthrows foreign governments for corporate interests.

In this bit8 moments
  • Tim argues social media has slipped from elite control and exposed things like Epstein that traditional media would have buried.
  • The real problem isn't elite distraction but decades of food additives, drugs, pharmaceuticals, sugar, and pills that have rotted people to the core.
  • Mainstream art and entertainment tell people never to question or examine anything.
  • Tim believes Americans know deep down the whole system is built on a house of cards but don't want to look behind door number two.
  • The permanent ruling class emerged after World War Two when Allen Dulles and the OSS became the CIA, creating an unaccountable secret government.
  • The intelligence community has done nefarious things worldwide to sustain American superpower status and perpetual economic growth.
  • Dollar cheeseburgers exemplify how our entire lives are artificially subsidized by terrible things happening elsewhere.
  • This system developed over a very long time, not because of Trump or recent events, and will likely just collapse slowly without changing fundamentally.
