‘They come in, they give you a briefing, and then two days later, they leak it, and then they say, “You leaked it”…’ https://headlineusa.com/to-avoid-doj-entrapment-donald-trump-says-he-doesnt-want-intelligence-briefings/@DBS: re 167116
If 10-15% of humans would kill another human under the-right-conditions, as you work out, and it could be more or less, then what would happen after that in the world of karma?
What if the killer had an obligation or life-link to the killed at that point?I have mulled this over on many bike rides. I think I would do it, if necessity demanded, and I could stop a killer from killing, by killing the killer, but I really have a deep feeling that it would not end there.
I don’t want to be karma-joined at the soul to anybody I would feel compelled to kill out of urgent, necessary duty…
Well, I really hope that it doesn’t come up, or I have grokked it better before it does, but it just seems like a glue-trap, somehow.Vice President Kamala Harris has enjoyed a noticeable surge in the polls – particularly national polls – since becoming the Democratic standard bearer, but the rapid shift in her position has left some industry analysts questioning the apparent boost in the formerly quite unpopular vice president’s standing.
Everybody is lying but you still think the polls are honest? The polling companies need to have a good ESG Woke rating, they need to obey the Blackrock blackmailers otherwise their share price dives and other companies will be punished for using them. Blackmail is the ESG Woke modus operandi, they will demand corporations do as they are told, including the polling companies. They will abandon their traditional customers to meet the blackmailers’ ESG Woke demands; look at Bud Lite, Harley Davison and all the other corps that are being blackmailed. In the worst, Blackrock has installed their chosen CEO to help ensure that it all happens. Polling is no different. Harris is the ESG Woke candidate, the corps will have to support her, regardless of what their customers think.
US President Joe Biden should not have sought reelection to begin with, but his staff concealed his infirmity until they could no longer do so, the Washington Post editorial board has said.
People were pointing out that he had dementia before the 2020 election, so it wasn’t hidden at all, it was willful blindness on the part of WaPo while the dementure patient was in full view. The lying WaPo “journalists” are just trying to rewrite reality, they do it all the time; if they write it then it must be real, theirs is the nihilist approach to reality, they reject reality and adopt fantasy in its place.
Martenson label Kamala La-la and the Wizard of Walz as outright Marxists and Communist
Imagine likes of Kamala contributing, in any even the minuscule way, in defending the gates of Leningrad or Stalingrad – which, mostly, comm/marxists did. Modern Russia is not ashamed of that glorious past, quite the contrary.
Imagine Kamala-like enduring the most brutal torture by the Nazis, being caught as a commie/partisan on the battlefields of Europe.
“That part of liberation narrative” is muted and “ignored” by the West in some weird pretend game.
All kinds of “isms” marching on on this planet – the only constant.You wrote:

You just described Sy Hersh’s method under DrD’s rubric becoz otherwise no one would talk to Seymour (I guess Drd thinks that’s a bad thing along with Frank Olsen”s kid Eric) and cats and dogs would be sleeping together
Didn’t you read Drd’s recapitulation today of his oft-written treatise on The Enemy of Perfect Is The Monomaniacal Pursuit of The Good With No Room For The Better Between GoodnPerfect?
Get with the fuckin’ program and take up a weapon, stand a post or stop unfairly criticizing the Writers, Doers and Insiders? (sarcasm)
Never ever get caught verbally abusing the Man in the Arena? Those guys no longer have to work hard to get there
Want to know the mythology of WWI and WWII warfighters was just that…..
…battles degenerating into chaos and disorganized mayhem before application of modern training regimens. (Who in the hell other than Drd thought such change represented higher human development?)
Read:
Keegan’s “The Face of Battle”1. Automate the response to fire at the dehumanized target
2. Professional officer corps promotes and fosters camaraderie and esprit de corps among the men. So that men fight for their friend beside them whille spouting platitudes to flag n country.Caveat; where the men aren’t already bonafide Antisocial Personality disordered beings the environment gives license for those psychopathic and sociopathic traits to rise to the surface.
Too many psychopaths and often even one are too detrimental to group cohesion. And they’re usually too chickenshit to step between the ropes and take on A Better, A Good, or A Perfect.@JohnDay
I’m no student of the concept or literature of karma so the following thoughts are mostly off the top of my head, but it does seem to me that karma is basically the law of cause and effect as seen in long perspective. Once effects are caused the concatenation of consequences would ripple outward for ever. If that is the case then a long term strategy of crime avoidance, amends, good will and forgiveness would be a good one, especially if one has to off some bastard for their own good.
@ DBS
I am enjoying your comments.
Right, wrong, good, bad: people will act or not.
Whatever is chosen is part of a person making their destiny.
I am still of the opinion, the end only comes once.
I feel perhaps we have lived a dream that is about to end.
And the end eventually comes for all with death.
A perspective
Thank you, @poppie. That’s the nicest way I’ve ever had my density described.
@MichaelReid
I agree. Even if one lives until the end of time, the end only comes once, so however long that takes, it matters.
“These guys stopped just before Good on their way to perfect”
Navy-style
Profession of Medicine-styleYou see it’s not substandard performance and previously documented incompetence that matters. Nope it’s the pursuit of perfect that gets ’em every time.
The problem IS just too much striving going on.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-09-26-me-2398-story.html

The scam was led by Pacific Hospital’s former owner, Michael Drobot Sr., and it generated nearly $600 million in fraudulent medical bills, many of which were paid by California’s worker’s compensation system. To date, 23 people have been convicted for their involvement in the scheme, which was busted in a federal investigation dubbed “Operation Spinal Cap.”
The scam
According to federal prosecutors, Drobot typically paid a kickback of $15,000 per lumbar fusion surgery and $10,000 per cervical fusion surgery, both of which can involve medical hardware to hold vertebrae in place. Medical professionals
Soteriology vs Eschatology
…something new every day
The Bush Administration, Zionists really, co-opted physicians and surgeons into their Torture Regime, but the nurses, oh the fucking nurses, saw the opportunity to fill the void of “followership-leadership” created by the few ethical stalwarts who stood in the breach.
I was counseled that “your position”, supported or not by Title X, Geneva Conventions, and the Hippocratic Oath is a suicide pact. One counselor was the semi-estimable Seymour Hersh and he one Salesman for eliciting popular acceptance of torture as only a minor spellbinder can do. Of course as Drd already explained, Hersh was not concerned his rationale was imperfect, well, until asked the right question. Sy’s unperfected position was indeed non sequitur woven into polished slideshow and sophisticated video.
Video.To that end, here’s a nice essay that could make the stupid boil in one’s mind.

Some excerpts:
“Accounts of wide-ranging forms of biomedical harm in radically di×erent social, political, and economic contexts call for a rediscovery and re-invigoration of a classic theme in medical sociology and anthropology—clinical iatrogenesis. Popularized by the Austrian public intellectual, Ivan Illich, the concept of clinical iatrogenesis, deÒned as injuries done to patients due to ine×ective, erroneous, and unsafe treatments, demands that rather than only see harm as an unintentional or accidental e×ect or byproduct of medicine, we need to interrogate how it emerges from deliberative, direct, and systemic medical acts, processes, and encounters.”“Decades of medical anthropological work have helped disrupt notions of biomedicine’s soteriological basis, its unquestioning moral rightness, and its fundamental commitment of doing no harm. Through the concept of structural violence, anthropologists have shown how, despite the best intentions of medical providers, medicine can unintentionally perpetuate harm, particularly toward communities who need medicine most.”
“Meanwhile, medical anthropologists working in acutely unstable, war-torn settings have shed light on how bioethics and humanitarian notions of medical neutrality—particularly the neutrality of medical providers—are inadequate for capturing how public health hospitals and clinic have been deliberately targeted, from Iraq to Gaza to Syria. Medicine has also been used as a tactic of war….”
Closing in her words:
-
we need to interrogate how it emerges from deliberative, direct, and systemic medical acts, processes, and encounters
By deliberative they mean deliberate acts
