i am wondering, if it was a standard corporate audit report, then why did the IG complainers get raided by FBI years later? why was one person charged with the Espionage Act?
what is your view on everything that happened to these people? what did you think when you first heard about it?
i have an extremely strong gut feeling. i.e. i have a blogger blog. im a shitty writer, basically an unprofessional hack. and yet, my shit is often in the top 10, above what experienced professional journalists do. it makes no goddamn sense.
i also recall hearing somewhere a google employee describing this problem.
i believe our executive branch just told us that the UAVs in libya are not a 'hostile act', so i am trying to figure out how you can be in a 'war' if its not 'hostile'.
or is it 'contingency operation' ? i get them confused.
in these 'contingency operations', then its kind of hard to understand what 'winning' means. nobody can tell us. can you?
i read somewhere that you can't win a counter-insurgency by pissing off the entire population.
and i read another thing about this place called vietnam, where we killed hundreds of thousands of them, someting like 10-2o times more than they killed of us. and they still won.
if you ran a tire-rotation place like best buy runs its computer desk, youd be thrown in prison for fraud.
they tell you 'bring it in for any reason', they upsell a warranty, and a bunch of shitty antivirus.
then what do they do when you get viruses? they charge you another 150 bucks.
if someone sold you tires with an extended warranty and they said 'here, here is a thing to make your tires puncture proof' for another upsell, and then you got a flat on your way home, and you went back and they made you buy all new tires.. yeah.

Drake retained documents related to the IG report, (he was a source for it) not necessarily 'from it'.
i was actually the jackass bleating about Bush going into Iraq without an agreement from the UN.
i speak for plate glass windows everywhere when I say, thank god MS conspires to stop it from having drivers and peripheral support.
don't forget where the solution is declared copyright by sony and your edits get "Suppressed" so that the history log is wiped.
i have a car.
i have a rocket engine.
what's the problem?
that is very interesting information.

dude.
you realize that blogspot blogs are not the best blogs, right? and that they pop up top 10 for a very specific reason, right?
how unfair!
amypme else ever go to the sci-fi convention called OKCon ?

now the hotel it was in doesnt even exist anymore, except in memories and the Matt Dillon scene in Tex.
according to Yves Smith in EConned.
in most sciences, when mathematical models do not match reality, you change the model.
in economics, you hire more lobbyists.
and they are just about as bad as any other owner.
ask the ukranians.
with gold and/or swiss francs, which he was running out of.
not armed combatants.
if you make the soldiers robotic, then you will have an ever increasing percentage of dead who are civilians.
the street without any way to feed themselves.
you want to have robots picking the crops and building things . fine.
who decides what the robots pick and what they build?
and how much of it they pick and how much they build?
its going to be the people who own the land and the people who own the raw materials that the robots work with.
everyone else is going to be sent to die.
a little low i think.
if you are bankrupt.
ask Adolf Hitler.
