The Web of State-Backed Extremism: From COINTELPRO to MKY

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

In July 2024, U.S. authorities indicted Michail Chkhikvishvili, the alleged new leader of Maniac Murder Cult (MKY), on four counts related to soliciting hate crimes and planning mass violence in New York City. Chkhikvishvili, 21, was arrested in Chișinău, Moldova, and extradited to the United States on May 22, 2025. The following day, he made his first appearance in Federal District Court before Magistrate Judge Peggy Kuo. Operating under the alias “Commander Butcher,” he was accused of coordinating with an undercover law enforcement officer to orchestrate a large-scale attack. Following his arrest, the militant accelerationist group Injekt Division claimed he had previously lived in Tbilisi, Georgia, and had ties to the Georgian military.

The Time and Life Acid Trip: How Henry R. Luce and Clare Boothe Luce helped turn America on to LSD. (archived)

I accidentally came across this when I was looking into Henry Luce, some more. It doesn’t mention Luce’s ties to the CIA, i.e. Operation Mockingbird. The notes are from another project that I’ve been slowly working on. That one I won’t be publicizing until I’m finished with it.

A brief, weird history of brainwashing

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

On an early spring day in 1959, Edward Hunter testified before a US Senate subcommittee investigating “the effect of Red China Communes on the United States.” It was the kind of opportunity he relished. A war correspondent who had spent considerable time in Asia, Hunter had achieved brief media stardom in 1951 after his book Brain-Washing in Red China introduced a new concept to the American public: a supposedly scientific system for changing people’s minds, even making them love things they once hated.

But Hunter wasn’t just a reporter, objectively chronicling conditions in China. As he told the assembled senators, he was also an anticommunist activist who served as a propagandist for the OSS, or Office of Strategic Services — something that was considered normal and patriotic at the time. His reporting blurred the line between fact and political mythology.

The MAPS Public Benefit Corporation (MAPS PBC) announced on Tuesday that it submitted the new drug application (NDA) to FDA, requesting an expedited review given that the agency previously designated the psychedelic as a breakthrough therapy.

Weaponizing e-girls: How the US military uses YouTube and TikTok to improve its image

How E-girl influencers are trying to get Gen Z into the military

But Haylujan isn’t the only E-girl using Sanrio sex appeal to lure the internet’s SIMPs into the armed forces. There’s Bailey Crespo and Kayla Salinas, not to mention countless #miltok gunfluencers cropping up online. While she didn’t document her military career, influencer Bella Poarch also served in the US Navy for four years before going viral on TikTok in 2020, and is arguably the blueprint for this kind of kawaii commodified fetishism in the military. An adjacent figure, Natalia Fadeev, also known as Gun Waifu, is an Israeli influencer and IDF soldier who uses waifu aesthetics and catgirl cosplay to pedal pro-Israel propaganda to her 756k followers. She poses to camera, ahegao-style, with freshly manicured nails wrapped neatly around a glock, the uWu-ification of military functioning as a cutesy distraction from the shadowy colonial context: “when they try and destroy your nation,” she writes in one caption.
