Pakistani Intelligence (ISI) has also made inroads into the US power structure. Imagine a TV show featuring undercover Indian and Pakistani intelligence officers trying to sabotage each other while performing covert operations in Washington D.C. it could be very funny. You could include clashing Muslim vs. Hindu cultural dynamics as well as jokes about the 1948 Pakistan-India Partition. Oh, and lots of jokes concerning extended families and horrible mother-in-laws.

(It’ll never air just by the nature of the content, but it’s fun.)

A rough pilot script could involve Indian intelligence agents posing as Mexicans at a Home Depot for nine hours. The objective being to join Paul Pelosi’s illegally hired work crew to help him build a new deck for $9 an hour. While there, they’ll try to fit listening devices all throughout the house. But once there they realize some other “Mexicans” are in fact Pakistani intelligence with the same idea. They go ahead and comically sabotage each other. The Pakistanis try to force the Indians to eat beef to maintain their cover, and the Indians likewise try to force the Pakistanis to eat pork. In fact, the unofficial derogatory nicknames for each others spooks are “porks” and “beefs.”

Besides great comedic value, the series could provide real insight into the many flaws of USG’s intelligence weaknesses. Think something similar to the hit series “Silicon Valley.”

A running joke could feature them getting repeatedly jumped by blacks.

Also, Pete Quinones did a truly superb reading of Peter Thiel’s book “Zero To One” some months ago. Provides great insight into Thiel’s business philosophy and thoughts on American Capitalism.

For anyone interested here’s the link to the 2012 “surprise debate” between Peter Thiel and Eric Schmidt. The day Peter Thiel woke up one morning and chose violence.

Superb. What I could do with after many hours of Pete, Astral, Stormy, is some sort of top down summary. As in "these People are in charge, their objectives are, and here are some examples". I lack the processing power to stitch together the bottom-up examples from the news feed into some overall causality.
