Ron Unz has really been on a roll lately. When the foundation myth of our current system (WWII) is well and truly broken I'll know the mandate of heaven is finally lost. Thanks to Ron and people like him, perhaps that day draws ever closer.
It's eminently reasonable to destroy a man's home and livelihood to arrest shoplifters. I'm sure it's also reasonable to blow the heads off of hostages to apprehend kidnappers. No woosah needed by the police chiefs here.
Interesting footage. Would have good applications for aircraft, as you would have to design any vehicle around it rather than retrofit existing things. Only obscures things a certain distance behind the lens, which means things such as fuel tanks and so forth would have to be offset (thus reducing massively operational range). Even then the attachment points would result in imperfect invisibility, unless you made it a sort of unibody thing where the skin is the frame.
More or less the same sort of discussion in Malice's "New Right". Essentially the internet is as corrosive as perestroika was to the USSR, and for the same reasons. Mostly posting because I enjoy the modern left being referred to as the interhamwe.
In which the interests of the permanent state prevail over the fleeting interests of the elect. This might actually be considered a moderating influence in the hoppean framework; this is probably *why* things have worked out this way practically everywhere -- without a "deep state" you have "one man, one vote, one time" and African style democracy.
The suicide of one of the investigators is a bit of a ???, but otherwise I'm not sure why this is a huge scandal unless the detective agency which was involved was both told to break the law in their investigation and did so (instead of telling Credit Suisse to pound sand).
Considering their "buddy buddy" relationship with the anglosphere, one wonders if the "official denial is the best confirmation" canard holds true with the Saudis as well.
Scott Horton also has interviewed Nasser Araybee about the situation, which offers another interesting perspective on the operation.
Seems the Turkish flip is complete. The Israel - US - Saudi alliance for making the Syrian state a wahabbi sultanate has failed unless they go for a major escalation, this time not using only proxy forces.
