Transcript

Seattle, Wash.
Sept. 22, 1931

Dear Sir:

My husband is in the habit of buying a quart of whiskey 

every other day from a Chinese bootlegger named Chin Waugh living at 317-16th near Alder street. We need this money for household expenses. Will you please have his place raided? He keeps a supply planted in the garden and a smaller quantity under the back steps for quick delivery. If you make the raid at 9:30 any morning you will be sure to get the goods and Chin also as he leaves the house at 10 o'clock and may clean up before he goes. Thanking you in advance, I remain yours truly,

Mrs. Hillyer

Isolation Facility Rules

Congratulations on your new assignment, [NAME]! From now on your duties will be the ones of a security guard of an Isolation Facility [NAME]. This is a great honor, and a great opportunity to serve your people in these tough times. Below you will find the set of rules which are to be followed to a FULL EXTENT and WITHOUT QUESTIONING.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Rule 1: Mimics are not human. They look like humans, they act like humans, they speak like humans, but they are not humans. Keep it in mind.

Rule 2: Keep contact with mimics to the minimum, especially during the arrival of a new batch of them. They are good at imitating humans and will plead, cry, argue with you in order to find a weak spot. Do not give them a chance - interrupt such attempt immediately, and, if needed, with violence.

Rule 3: It is possible that some of the new arrivals will resemble the ones you know - your neighbors, your former colleagues, your friends, your family members. Remember - everybody arriving at the gates of the Facility was thoroughly screened in order to avoid any mistakes, and is definitely a mimic. So do not let them fool you, and ESPECIALLY do not show them that you recognized them - they will use it against you.

Rule 4: Mimics are to follow Facility rules without exception. The punishment for misbehavior should be harsh and swift in order to discourage others. Remember - mimics are not humans, and therefore are not eligible for your compassion or pity. They are not even animals - they are absolutely ALIEN creatures and should be treated as such.

Rule 5: If you notice that you are starting to feel some emotions towards mimics, please consult an on-site psychologist. It is a sign that mimics have found a way to influence you, which means that when left unchecked it can make you a COLLABORATIONIST, which is one step behind being a mimic.

Rule 6: It is discouraged to have sexual relationships with mimics, with the exception of the purpose of punishment. In this case, it is needed to be made sure that no offspring are produced, and if pregnancy occurs, that it will be promptly terminated.

Rule 7: It is prohibited to you to enter any of the Facility's buildings, except for specifically designated for your duties. You are not allowed to enter any of the mimic's living quarters, no matter what you hear from the inside.

Rule 8: It is prohibited for mimics to leave their quarters after nig

Billionaire Boys Club (BBC) Ep. 14 - The DEREGULATION Agenda - The ROOT of all evil and everything we are fighting against. EVERY Ape Should Read this IMO. πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor, and I do not provide financial advice. Many thoughts here are my opinion, and others can be speculative. Where possible, I do cite sources but it is also possible that these sources are publishing incorrect information.

Everything I am highlighting here is asking questions about publically available information and not an accusation of any wrongdoing of any parties mentioned.

POLITICAL DISCLAIMER: This post does contain references to politics. In saying that, I am not from the US, I don't follow US politics (Except when it relates to the Market). I'm Irish and barely follow our politics.

The only reason politics is referenced here is that the BILLIONAIRE BOYS use politics as a tool to rally support behind their agendas. More often than not, this is done for financial gain.

This happens on both sides though, and the issues discussed in this post have come from both sides, so try not to get butt-hurt if I mention someone you support/don't support and instead try to look at the facts of what is being referenced and the implications it has on the market.

Also... I'm not financially trained, so feel free to correct me if I miss something or get something wrong!!
