So, I was wondering why such a down-at-heel Berlin bar has gained such notoriety in the travel sector and is even on a Berlin tourist official tour ?

Well it seems that the owner of Dr Pong, Oliver Miller, has Ivy league connections. And maybe they go even further:

Oliver Miller, 39, founded Dr. Pong in 2002. Miller is originally from San Francisco, but relocated to Berlin when he had the idea for the bar, which stemmed from his master’s thesis developed at Princeton University’s architecture school.

“I developed the conceptualization, programming and design for a recreation center,” Miller said. “The title of that project was ‘Recreating Recreation.’ In it I sought to both contrast and hybridize free time activities, such as sport and partying, and to handle the conventions and dangers of recreational drug consumption in a similar manner as with the generation of endorphins through physical exertion.”

And this @Asolo comment on my previous post is well worth a read as it begins to explain why the CIA and/or other intelligence interests might be setting up shop in this part of the world: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2414932/12017077

Oliver Miller graduated from the School of Architecture at Princeton. Dr Pong came about as a result of his masters thesis from the School of Architecture “Recreating Recreation”

But why are the visions of these ivy league created playgrounds ultimately dystopic and all the friends of Alefantis and Miller into such art movements as Brutalism and, so reminiscent of MKUltra programming?

I came across this book which may be quite useful in answering that question:

Covert Network: Progressives, the International Rescue Committee and the CIA by Eric Thomas Chester

This book tells the story of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the largest nonsectarian refugee relief agency in the world. Founded in the 1930s by socialist militants, the IRC attracted the support of renowned progressives such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Norman Thomas, and Reinhold Niebuhr. But by the 1950s it had been absorbed into the American foreign policy establishment. Throughout the Cold War, the IRC was deeply involved in the volatile confrontations between the two superpowers and participated in an array of sensitive clandestine operations. The IRC thus evolved from a small organization of committed activists to a global operation functioning as one link in the CIA's covert network.

A very informative post on the International Rescue Committee by @Commoner : A link between cards, Clintons, Podesta, Fraud and Refugees...AND even the Brits

If you search on his organization, IRC “International Rescue Committee”, at the Clinton Foundation, you get 5 pages of results.

If you go to IRC website, you will find that Madeline Albright, Bill Clinton’s Secretary of State, and Timothy Geithner, Obama’s Secretary of Treasury, are on the board of advisors.
