Pot-Stirring Brit: Federalist firebrand, dyslexic word-wrangler, and transatlantic troll. Giving doubt its due while dismantling daft ideas one typo at a time.
Ciaran Martin interesting on WATO. Says wrong to portray vetting system as pass/fail driving test. It's 'risk assessment' and officials are presented with a 'handling plan' for that risk. "The one thing you never do is tell ministers," he says, "or the system would collapse."
Someone should make a list of right wing and left wing dog breeds

I de-wormed NASA in the '90s. At the time, it felt right to bring NASA's meatball back from retirement to reinvigorate that Apollo spirit we had when we got man to moon in under a decade. We were in a time when the end of the Cold War was indicating the end of our robust space program and the Challenger tragedy caused immense angst across the nation. The team and I felt we needed a symbol that was reflective of that aggressive spirit we had in the 60s to *explore and win*. Different times call for different symbols and emblems.
Governments don't want you to learn history, because they literally repeat it. What happened in the 1970s is happening again, but this time instead of a 4% reduction in oil it's 20%. The U.S. is intentionally blowing up refineries in Russia & Australia, pipelines to Europe, capturing Venezuela so additional oil supply can't come online. The goal is to starve China and the world of oil, collapsing industrial capacity outside of the U.S. and sucking all of the Dollars in circulation back into the U.S. The U.S. doesn't care how bad the economy gets, as long as it's worse everywhere else.
