I should no longer be astonished, but the ignorance of the American people at large (indeed all publics including the UK and Nordic and European publics) combined with the craven complicity of the fake news media led by the Crap News Network (CNN) has resulted in there being a very large number of people — perhaps including Steve Bannon — who are delusional about the reality of US politics. The USA is not a functional democracy. When James Baker says this on national television (on the Crap News Network, of course, with the sock-puppet interviewer not challenging him), James Baker is lying. He is hypocritical. He knows that 40 odd billionaires control the two-party tyranny. He knows that while some of the billionaires play the left of center game and others play the right of center game, they are all fascists — they are all about the 1% controlling the economy, the government, and society for their benefit and that none of them — not even Tom Steyer who once had the best of intentions — actually give a shit about the public interest. Not one of them — including Michael Bloomberg — is capable of intelligently discussing why electoral reform is root and why holistic analytics, true cost economics, and open source everything engineering (OSEE) must become the foundation for creating a prosperous world at peace, a world that works for the 99% not just the 1%. I have not given up on the oligarchs — if Donald Trump gets a strategy and a staff to match his brains and balls, I expect some of these oligarchs to become constructive allies. I single out Lynn Rothchild, whose concept of Inclusive Capitalism has merit but will never come to fruition as long as she is surrounded by pedophiles and sychophants.
The Consequences of Eroding Human Intelligence Collection
TheCIPHERBrief, November 2, 2016 | Dan Harris
The U.S. Intelligence Community’s (IC) clandestine human intelligence (HUMINT) services are experiencing an erosion of their core mission and values, with consequences to our current and future collection capability. . . . I believe the issue in the IC is not the need for a new service but the need for experienced mission-enablers, vice political loyalists, at the command level. . . . Former CIA Deputy Director Stephen Kappas spoke poignantly of this condition when he said he could find 100 Agency officers willing to risk their lives in a war zone, but could find not one willing to risk his/her career.
The below article is important to those thinking about open source software in Europe:
Why China is the next proving ground for open source software
The article, from TechRepublic, focuses on the Chinese taking the lead in open source software related to big data infrastructure. “China scale” is a term that should be noted.

Reflections on The People’s Army, The Constitution, & Grand Strategy
Robert David Steele
Short URL: http://tinyurl.com/Army-Constitution
The People’s Army – the Continental Army rooted in home-spun militias – was formed and fought and won a war before the U.S. Constitution was written and signed in 1787. The Constitution – and the Republic – exist because the People’s Army, the Continental Army led by George Washington – leveraged the twin advantages of a righteous cause and home court to eject what was then the greatest imperial power on the planet. Of the 55 men attending the Constitutional Convention, at least 29 served in the Continental Army, most of them in positions of command.[1] Understanding the relationship between the people from whom the early militias were drawn, the Army, and the Constitution, is essential to evaluating where we fall short today.[2]
I have been reflecting on the “legacy” of the past several presidencies at home and abroad. From where I set, after the assassination of John F. Kennedy — an assassination carried out by CIA and FBI officers allied with Cuban and Jewish criminals, Israel, and monied interests in Texas and New York — the US Government began to morph into a criminal deep state far more dangerous to the public interest than ever before.
Let's start with why JFK was assassinated and the assassination deliberately covered up by Lyndon Baines Johnson who also covered up the assassination of Martin Luther King and the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty (that may have been requested by LBJ to provide a false justification for war as the false Tonkin Gulf attack was used to justify war on Viet-Nam).
