In relation to Bryan Dean Wright: CIA’s Problem – Subpar Spies I find it interesting to read what Bryan Dean Wright has written about the CIA and its recruitment of A and B students, especially since I published something very much like that in 2009 in the final chapter of my book, Cash on Delivery: CIA Special Operations During the Secret War in Laos. The final chapter contains what I called Briggs’ Axiom, a theory I often described to colleagues in the 1980s and 1990s. Mr. Wright and I are in agreement.
Mr. Wright writes:
“The answer: “Well, think of the students that you knew in school. We can’t retain the ‘A’ or ‘B’ students… they eventually quit in frustration because of too many bad managers and too much bureaucracy. So… we look for the ‘C’ students now.”
Founded four years ago, Jinha is an all-female, multilingual news agency spread across Turkey, Iraq and Syria. Its coverage is proving increasingly important in a region wracked by conflict and hardly notable for gender equality. Much of the focus is on women and children.
Either by omission or by commission, the US media actively misinforms the public on crucial issues that matter. The reason they do this is because they legally can.
Let’s start with the First Amendment to the US Constitution that protects freedom of speech. Courts in the US have ruled on many occasions that freedom of speech also includes the freedom to lie. The rationale is that such rulings give space for unpopular statements of fact. For example, in 2012, the US Supreme Court voted 6-3 to affirm a lower court decision to overturn a conviction for lying about one’s credentials. The lower court judge in that case wrote, “How can you develop a reputation as a straight shooter if lying is not an option?” Washington State Supreme Court even ruled that lying to get votes, distinguishing between fact and opinion, was not something that the state should negotiate. It wrote that people and not the government should be the final arbiter of truth in a political debate.
After more than 20 years of comparative inaction,the past decade has seen a resurgence of interest in and support for the Article V Convention alternative.Advocacy groups across a broad range of the political spectrum are pushing for conventions to consider various amendments, including a revival of the balanced budget amendment proposed in the 1970s -1980s; an interstate compact that could call a convention,propose, and prospectively ratify, a balanced budget amendment; an amendment or amendments to restrict the authority of the federal government; and an amendment to permit regulation of corporate spending in election campaigns, which would nullify parts of the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.
This report identifies a range of policy questions Congress might face if an Article V Convention seemed imminent. Some of these include the following: what constitutes a legitimate state application? Does Congress have discretion as to whether it must call a convention? What legislative vehicle would be appropriate to call a convention? Could a convention consider any issue, or would it be limited to the specific issue cited in state applications? Could a “runaway” convention propose amendments outside its mandate? Could Congress choose not to propose a convention – approved amendment to the states? What role, if any, does the President have? What role would Congress have in the mechanics of a convention, including rules of procedure and voting, number and apportionment of delegates, funding and duration, service by Members of Congress, and other related questions?
De Niro talked to Congressman about censored Vaxxed film
EXTRACT
The study actually revealed a connection between the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine and the onset of autism in young black boys—but that part of the study was censored. In fact, Thompson said, he and his colleagues sat in a room at the CDC, brought in a garbage can, and threw out those pages of research. That’s right. But Thompson kept copies of the pages. Congressman Bill Posey and a few other people have those pages.
