U.S. Intelligence Community Unsettled By President Trump's Appointment Of Rep. John Ratcliffe To The Office Of The Director Of National Intelligence
*Politico:* *Trump's intel power play spooks the spooks* *The CIA never welcomed its overlords in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. But now, the agency confronts its worst nightmare.* President Donald Trump’s nomination of Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe to serve as the nation’s intel chief has led to some apprehension within the intelligence community, which has only grudgingly come to accept the Office of the Director of National Intelligence as a force for good.

On A Scale Of 1 To 10, Would You Agree That The Pure Evil Embodied By Erik Prince Is A Million? A Billion?
Forget for a moment that Erik was inculcated at any early age into treason and evil by his older sister, Betsy DeVos. Instead, just recall that over 2 decades ago Prince set up Blackwater-- an international mercenary operation-- that has been lobbying for war ever since... and getting billions of dollars in U.S. government contracts, much of his businesses' work hidden from public scrutiny, for fighting and spying all over the world. Prince finally started facing some semblance of accountability-- though not much-- in 2007 when his mercenaries in Baghdad indiscriminately started s... more »

The Benefits of Revising America's Refuge Policy

Critics of President Donald Trump’s slowdown in refugee resettlement have gone beyond humanitarian arguments to claim that refugees are a fiscal boon to the country. But the idea that refugees pay more in taxes than they use in services is simply not support... more »

Dr. Apathy to the Rescue
We're fucked. That's the long and the short of it, folks. There's no rudder on the ship of state. No one at the wheel. The elevator's in free fall with no Dead Man brake. We're on our own.

And it looks more and more like if anyone will seriously address this global crisis and step up and be a hero, they will have to work *against* the government instead of with ... more »

The Poet: Fernando Pessoa, “I Don’t Know If The Stars Rule The World”
*“I Don’t Know If The Stars Rule The World”* “I don’t know if the stars rule the world, Or if Tarot or playing cards Can reveal anything. I don’t know if the rolling of dice Can lead to any conclusion. But I also don’t know If anything is attained By living the way most people do. Yes, I don’t know If I should believe in this daily rising sun Whose authenticity no one can guarantee me, Or if it would be better (because better or more convenient) To believe in some other sun, One that shines even at night, Some profound incandescence of things, Surpassing my understanding.

I hope you're getting this down.” - Bertrand Russell
