3 minutes and 6 seconds long.
Two major points high-lighted:
1) The qualifications for carrying out extra-judicial punishments and executions seem to be dangerously low with a highly exploitable framework, and
2) The new chief of the CIA says they want to prevent the deaths of civilians in the future without taking responsibility for civilian deaths in the past. While I like the former the later seems to me to imply a lack of seriousness about human lives, and reflects what I've been worried about for years that the US-administration is capable of being relaxed or look the other way in the face of dead civilians popping up under their own leadership.

Any so-called civilized country that would invent the term "extraordinary rendition," meaning sending a prisoner to a country that uses torture for interrogations, is obviously possessed by Satan himself, and everything else automatically falls into place.

I use the term allegorically, as it is used in the book of Revelation and "The Ouzo Prophecy". Religion is our most dangerous institution, followed closely by government. As I like to say, education is the biggest scam on Earth, well, not as big as religion and patriotism, but, you know, it's right up there.

Yes, I don't mean knowledge and ideas, I mean the entire realm of our educational establishment, that looks upon so-called education as a way to get a good-paying job, and that you need thousands of dollars in student loans to achieve it, and if you don't follow their advice, you're just a loser.tbieter wrote:BBbobevenson wrote:I use the term allegorically, as it is used in the book of Revelation and "The Ouzo Prophecy".
