Duncan Blasts "Useless" Air Marshal Service
posted by rik at 2010-04-08 16:34

rik: "Since 9/11, more than three dozen Federal air marshals have been charged with crimes, and hundreds more have been accused of misconduct. Cases range from drunken driving and domestic violence to aiding a human-trafficking ring and trying to smuggle explosives from Afghanistan.'
rik: "Actually, there have been many more arrests of Federal air marshals than that story reported, quite a few for felony offenses. In fact, more air marshals have been arrested than the number of people arrested by air marshals. We now have approximately 4,000 in the Federal Air Marshals Service, yet they have made an average of just 4.2 arrests a year since 2001. This comes out to an average of about one arrest a year per 1,000 employees"
seti: as a mitigating factor, many of those arrested by air marshals were behaving like fucking assholes on flights.

Pres. GW Bush helped cover up Cheney/Rumsfeld's 1975 cover-up of CIA's involuntary LSD-spike program

thelink: or something pretty complicated like that
thelink: "Prior to receiving the LSD, the subject had ... agreed to in principle. However, this individual was not made aware that he had been given LSD until about 90 minutes after it had been administered. He developed serious side effects and was sent ... for psychiatric treatment. Several days later, he jumped from the thirteenth floor window of his room and died as a result."
thelink: Cheney and Rumsfeld in '75 helped keep the man's family in the dark, Bush in ~2001 helped keep the record of the coverup secret (i think)
thelink: titled IT DIDN'T START WITH ABU GHRAIB -- Dick Cheney: Vice President for Torture and War
thelink: (but published by Lyndon LaRouche Executive Intelligence Review which has been known to present the odd slanted perspective ... YMMV)
thelink: "What is clear ... is that he [the CIA target, not Cheney] became a target of the very torture/interrogation techniques that he had witnessed ... Upon returning from the LSD interrogation ... he told his wife, Alice, 'I made a terrible mistake.'"
thelink: yeah, Cheney and his mates have been torturing people for DECADES. They think Abu Ghraib is like some new holiday resort from Club Med.

Neat analysis of the PUA Game
posted by kandinski at 2010-04-08 01:13

thelink: "Society enforces certain protocols to correct some of our biological quirks and inadequacies."
thelink: is that so?
thelink:
thelink: society is a culture, the product of evolution, like cheese. it does not 'enforce' anything much for any rational reason.
thelink: and 'morality' is what those two monkeys teach for their day job. get a new argument.
thelink: (please do not infer this as an endorsement of the book under review, i haven't read it)
thelink: a surprising number of potential mates expect you to have some of those smarts practiced by the 'PUA'. and are visibly disappointed if you don't. deficiencies of the 'PUA' game or lifestyle are there, but if it takes reading a book to get some smarts, read a fucken book, and don't feel guilt.
thelink: "Thankfully, our ability to share knowledge and socialize has supplemented our operating systems. Cracking our biological systems violates our socially constructed protocols. It is blatant manipulation."
thelink: so iterate, goddamn you!
thelink: btw blatant manipulation, last I heard, was dirty trick number 1 from the Good Book of Dirty Tricks itself, if that's you preferred guidebook
thelink: this guy MM didn't fucking invent it, he's just telling you how it's done
thelink: oh dear, evolution just skipped a track? NEXT!
thelink: "I find no fault in youthful promiscuity. Oscar Wilde could have written a novel about my college years." then please step to the right, there are lesser beings waiting behind you, who 'deserve' in the moral sense that you'd like to promote, to have their turn too, even if they weren't gifted with whatever it was you had that got you laid so goddamn much, Valentino
thelink: . o O ((... does my arse look canadian in this?)
thelink:
thelink: ^ 'MM', not the author of the review (and not me either)
