>And how long did the incident last? Not long, I left the gas station and received a call from the police within an hour or two, and I kind of remember them telling me it was only happening that morning. I only remember that it was a Sin

Yes; the background investigation produced a police report which I hadn't mentioned in my application. At the time of the gas station incident, I didn't know that I had just created a paper trail that would damn my background chec

I once was gassing up at a station, and for whatever reason the card reader on the pump wasn't charging, but would let me pump gas anyways. So me, and everyone else who'd used that pump that day, received a phone call from the pol

Puh-leaze Russia has it's issues, but the current craze is just that: crazy. People are becoming more acutely aware of the tightening noose of big money spending in government/elections, and so big money media is moving attention

His writings critical of the West go largely ignored in the West, which again isn't that surprising. For example his forward for Animal Farm was famously censored from publication.

It's not odd at all when you consider what works of Orwell are cited in pop culture (1984, Animal Farm) and which ones are not (Homage to Catalonia)

War is a great way for the corporate media and the government to work together to manufacture public opinion. The Syrian airstrikes earlier in the month was a moment of circling the wagons for the movers and shakers, as the media was able t

Yep, the education system is a juicy target for the rich and the powerful to subvert. Laser guided bombs and foreign trade agreements are not the machinations of people who worship ignorance.

You're fantasizing. The bombing of the Doctors Without Borders hospital wasn't some ethical decision between good and bad, rather it was military members getting orders to bomb a target, not being able to find the target but decid

I don't think he was banned for streaming a marathon, I think he was banned because him mom prevented him from getting back on the computer, and was thusly banned for abandoning a live stream.

He wasn't just sitting for 24 hours, he had been pulling multiple 20+ hour marathons in the same week. Twitch doesn't need to be a parent, but it takes very little effort to send notifications reminding people to go to sleep.

Spare me, there's nothing difficult about deciding whether or not to blow up hospitals and children. This mission is not about freeing people from terror and was never about that. Rather, quite the opposite, we are there to terrorize

Have you read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man? Look, they have the money figured out, they're not likely to do something unless they feel they're going to get ROI, and I don't mean ROI for you and me, no no no no. You and

You're forgetting to factor in all the other countries who look at how the hegemony can spend $100M on blowing up a neighborhood like it's nothing, and therefore decide to kowtow to the demands of the powerful, lest they suddenly

You're correct in looking at the thickness of the book and being wary of what's coming out in the media. In the book, the trends and statistics were just a section (albeit a big one) but the rest of the book discusses a lot of the
