Kind of a flashback
I never thought the Adrenochrome meme was real (ie that it was a regular thing for some cults to use that gland from murdered kids to get high), other than a few possible isolated attempts
However, it was in fact mentioned in some Wikileaks releases that it was transported from penguins in Antarctica to New York or something
So I have to stress that I disagree with this particular case: https://wokehub.com/top-news/adrenochrome-child-protective-services-trafficking-killing-selling-the-blood-of-our-children/
Maybe for bio/psychological research intended, maybe for people attempting to use it as a recreational drug of some sort (people even try to get high off of cat piss)
One of the biggest reasons I'm skeptical of the theory it was harvested from human beings is the sheer supply one would likely need, balanced with the difficulty of making people dissapear. If we assume the drug could be harvested from non-humans, that would probably be a far more efficient route to do it, and some species would probably produce a product of "higher quality" than humans are capable of
However
I'm entertaining the idea it was used in this post, but with the assumption that this practice would have originated relatively recently (1960's and beyond) from Intelligence linked circles, largely by experiments on random animals
Why?
I got an idea while watching Mirage Men, and listening to the reports of "Alien (CIA/etc) abductions and mutilations of farmers livestock"
...Well, the first case of the cattle mutilation in
Dulce, it was June 14th 1974.
People do kill animals and steal the meat,
and it's different, it was different.
Why did they just take the udder,
the lymph nodes and the tongue
at the base of the throat with the tonsils?
And we're finding the evidence at the mutilations,
gas masks that were made by the
military, radar chaff, and the tranquillisers
they were using atropine,
they were injecting them with atropine.
I was up front with the ranchers
they were losing cattle and
nobody was compensating them...
there doesn't seem to be anything here
