Repubs will run a young half black/half Latino transvestite
that will travel around throwing out condoms and ebt cards, cry on Oprah to show they care. Thats what it looks like to me.
I’m interested in the idea, though I have to be honest I’m not sure how much help I could be.
I didn’t say that they wrote the software, just that H.W. Bush likely spoke about it in his “linkages” speech. In turn, he probably got hold of it when he was the head of the CIA.
Such software is already several generations advanced. It is now used by police agencies to determine criminal associations, and was even brought to Iraq for GWII by reservists, to discover enemy associations, for which it was highly valued.
But this is at the ground level. What the Bush family likely owns is at the national and international level.
And, ironically enough, it is not in conflict with, but is complementary to, the internationalist organizations and think tanks.
Greatly understated, imagine documenting the thousands of known links that exist between just two countries. If you change one of those links in a significant way, it will likely impact the other links, but may also resonate to the links with other countries.
While a think tank may imagine that changing a link will result in some advantage, even their “brains” cannot envision the vast number of side effects. And this is where such data mining software is invaluable.
It helps to answer that most damning of questions: “And then what happens?”
Ironically as all get out, Christopher Hitchens, writing in The Nation, severely criticized H.W. Bush for despising linkages that at the time were common assumptions, even going so far as to call him monomaniacal. But in retrospect, what Bush did was right, and it worked surprisingly well.

Which goes to the software. Ordinary geniuses might be able to play a two dimensional game of chess in their heads, but if you can add a third dimension to your game that they cannot see, you can perform seemingly impossible maneuvers that to them seem irrational, but produce for you decisive results.
