Funny how those who want to crucify Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Jack Teixeira, and others for leaking classified documents instead of going through "proper" channels are the very same ones who want to crucify those who *do* go through proper channels.
Meanwhile, Democrat politicians and operatives in the Deep State constantly leak private and classified information -- but only so long as it's damaging to conservatives.
I assume the inclusion of Jack Teixeira in your comment is just a rhetorical device.
I don't think anybody really believes the claim that a reservist airman, with no need to know, working for an organization with no need to know, had access to the kind of documents, including very sensitive intelligence community documents, which he is said to have accessed and disseminated online.
Something is very fishy about this event. Either he found ways to get around the gates, or someone or someones were very sloppy, maybe deliberately so.
True, Antonio. Also, it wasn't just "leaking" some classified info, it went further than that right into official access on the intelligence platform(s) requiring some very high level clearances. In fact, nobody in his chain of command within his "organization" had those clearances. His commander couldn't have had access to what Teixiera leaked.
We know this is how the Democrat presidential administrations always react to whistleblowers as per all of those you mentioned, and yes under both scenarios. They only want them to come out and be protected if they come out against conservatives, especially Trump.
Sasha it may not be wise to announce where and when you are traveling in the future.
The whole goal of philosophy, as it's been said, is to elucidate the things we all know, but poorly. As the creatures we are, with the nervous systems & brains we have, we know things, we intuit things, we grasp patterns—if we but allow ourselves to see, we know all kinds of things. There is truth & a shared pattern to reality. All is not relative.
Outstanding writing! A+++. Truly, I really liked it and am giving it serious thought on how it applies. I interpret it to be gentle guidance and subtle encouragement to explore further. Thank-you.
Yep, we can add the J6 Big Lie to all the rest...I guess the strategy is to Big Lie us into an "I don't care" state of exhaustion...I think it's workinh.
Agree! So many times I've thought...I just give up. I'm too tired for this bullshit. That's exactly what they want though. Not entirely sure how to fight this machine though. Voting doesn't seem to do a whole hell of a lot at least not here in California.
The emotional weight of all the BS is daunting. I do get strength by staying in communication with fellow resisters such as yourself.
Yes, the only voting in CA that matters these days is being done by people's feet, i.e., leaving. But I'm not giving in to that either, at least not yet.
All I've wanted is the truth as well Sasha. I don't really care what the truth is just want it. I'll deal with how I feel if it doesn't land the way I want it to. I'll say it again....I believe Jan 6th happened because people were tired of being lied to and not told the truth. I'm personally tired of being gaslit by everyone especially our government!
sample quote: "former Justice Department prosecutor Bruce Ohr’s wife Nellie Ohr first plowed the ground for the dossier with a series of a research reports she wrote for Fusion GPS, the D.C.-based opposition research firm the Clinton campaign commissioned to dig up dirt on Trump and Russia. "
Take a look at the top articles on the The Federalist today… therein lay the problem. Also, apparently the team of IRS agents who were investigating Hunter Biden have be fired.
Yet when Nixon pulled something similar (the "Saturday Night Massacre") it eventually took down his entire administration. With this current maladministration though, the buck stops nowhere.
From what I can see over the last 2 years+ is that truth doesn’t seem to prevail. Truth used to matter and being a person of integrity was important. People don’t want the truth. They want to hide in their bubbles. Logical thinking has gone by the wayside. It also appears that there will never be consequence for all the heinous acts taken place since the stolen election. I fear we’re too far gone :(
I agree with you, Bridget. So, why do you think they don’t want the truth? In the meantime, here is why I think it is the case; “
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” Upton Sinclair. That is to say, they don’t want the truth because their government welfare, salaries, contracts and services, depend on them not seeing any flaws in the Democratic Party.
To your point exactly, that the many that are reliant upon those systems won’t tempt fate if you will. Just “go with it”. That a dangerous mindset but I understand it at the same time. It’s easier to pretend which seems to be what many are doing. I’m trying so hard to watch what’s transpiring globally, read between the lines and be rational but it’s intentionally difficult to decipher. It’s just not time to be complacent. As daunting as it all feels Americans need to stand and fight, and fight hard against this global elite agenda.
As the reaction by DNC-Media to Durham's report reflects, truth does not matter. If you think truth matters, then you're a damned conspiracy theorist and probably an extremist MAGA Republican. For, you see, Truth serves only their purpose.
What can these corrupt agents/actors/participants be thinking, eventfully they will meet their maker and face the consequences. Life here is short, why not do the right thing? Actively being dishonest behaving like scumbags will not benefit them in the next go around.
This is a further example of ideological extremists feeling they are entitled to lie and cheat to achieve their objective and to destroy their enemies.

Yes Sasha, KellyG is correct: "Be as shrewd as a serpent - and innocent as a dove".
That's "Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."
Ed, yes you are correct. My mistake and thank you for the correction: "Be wise as serpents........". Matt: 10-16. Maranatha Yeshua Messiah.
We all know the truth, just as we all know it will never be admitted.
Drive safe.

Ok. Looked up some books from your place and am ordering on Amazon. They do look great and I think the kids will be thrilled. Thanks.
Oh, how wonderful, thank you! I hope the kids really do enjoy whatever you've selected. We think a lot about children & childhood in the work we do.
The creativity, art and stories look great to us so Enchanted Lion Books will be our new default option for kids books.
Ordered “What is a River” and “Book of Questions” for starters.
Outstanding writing! A+++. Truly, I really liked it and am giving it serious thought on how it applies. I interpret it to be gentle guidance and subtle encouragement to explore further. Thank-you.

Yeh I was going to vote with my feet but have paused my vote for now. We shall see what comes of everything.
CT aint all that great either, but I love New England. And there just isn't all that much run in me.
Oh it's working alright, just like a Jedi mind trick. "This is not the Democracy you were looking for"
We'll never be told the truth. However, the persecution of those calling out Wray should make guessing the truth a lot easier.
Thank you for all your efforts in exposing the terrible corruption we are facing in this country!

"Truth" is whatever is printed in the NYT -- the American Pravda. Everything else is Conspiracy Theory.
After the Durham report go back to the summer of 2016.
I love Sasha Stone's story and transformation from her previous ideology.
If only more people could be as self-reflective as Sasha and exercise some critical thinking.
Would be nice but ain’t happening. Hundreds of millions of Americans depend on government dole and that means Dem voters.

They don’t believe they have a Maker. Total amoral
The truth of the Jan 6 fiasco will be revealed in, oh, 75 or 80 years...
Don’t bet on it. When the law is above the law it never ends well.
This is a further example of ideological extremists feeling they are entitled to lie and cheat to achieve their objective and to destroy their enemies.
Brava!
