One weird design note: front grilles on electric-only vehicles. I don't get it. They don't have a radiator. They don't use air for combustion. What's with the grill?
I highly recommend that you read Glennon's book "National Security and Double Government." Indeed, go to Amazon and use the Look Inside feature to read just the introduction.
Very interesting article. Thanks. I wonder why Iran is not more active with solar power instead of going to nuclear energy. Presumably Israel would not have a problem with a solar-powered Iran the way that do with nuclear power.
Israel wants US foreign policy to be conducted purely for Israel's benefit and goals. The US should rightly direct its foreign policy at protecting US interests, and a rapprochement with Iran, complete with UN inspections and foreign trade, is in line with US interests. We do not need to increase the number of Muslim enemies of the US, but to reduce their number.
Interesting. It sounds from your comment that Israel wants Iran to be more or less like the Palestinians in Gaza: struggling constantly for daily existence.
This is quite important, and the reason is explained in another video, which you can find in this post. I think some of the changes we see in our society reflect the kind of erosion of moral and ethical values that seem to accompany wealth (and the feeling of being wealthy). Highly recommended video.
The reason I bring this up is that people looking at the inequality may think, "So what? Some people are lucky and have lots of money, most of us don't." It's more than that. The effects of wealth on the personality are pernicious, and those effects really exist.
I find it interesting how frequently members of the Obama Administration feel that it's perfectly okay to tell brazen lies---sometimes even when the person they're telling it to knows that it's a lie---e.g., Jim Clapper's direct lie to Sen. Ron Wyden on mass record collection (and Clapper had 24 hours to think over his answer, so it's clear it was a deliberate lie---and so far no sign that he's called to account over it. Alexander has lied---the overt lies on the NSA website that had to scrubbed. And of course the NSA quite obviously is lying when they claim that, with their technical capacity and capabilities that they cannot search their email system.
I think telling a lie even when those hearing it know that it is a lie, and the liar knows that they know, shows the liar's utter contempt for the person getting the lie, and the liar's sure knowledge that the person getting the lie is powerless to stop him or hold him to account.
The obvious response to Mueller is, "Since you use them very seldom and only minimally, then you can readily stop using them with no significant effect. Right?"
I certainly am uninterested in giving up my Constitutional rights, especially for a threat as minuscule as terrorism: more Americans are killed by ... well, you name: smoking cigarettes, gun violence, traffic fatalities, cancer, and on and on. If you start giving things up to be safe from terrorists, you lose those rights and you're still not safe.
Think about it: The US spends more than $500 million per victim on anti-terrorism efforts. Cancer research spending is $10,000 per victim.
In addition, we've been fed a soup of lies from Congress and from the Executive Branch. The protections provided by FISA? Well, they never disapprove an application, which sounds a lot like they are not much into protecting the public. And with everything secret, we are required simply to trust. I don't. The government---ANY government---lies too much: to protect and increase its power.
I know you're sincere, but really: you should read some history.

The Gaza attack has some echoes of the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto.
Fortunately Dianne Feinstein will not be running for re-election. Unfortunately, I cannot vote against her (again).
