By Design: America Remains Mired in the Murky. What does it say to you: That on evidence claimed as components to build a nuclear bomb — the “debate” was hijacked by 10-second sound bites? Shouldn’t any debate establish what the debate is actually about? What does it say about a country that can’t even establish that much on a matter of this magnitude? As I said in my doc:

All the sarin gas shells in the world would have no bearing on the aluminum tubes and other intel, but loyalists to logical fallacies are not burdened by the inconvenience of FACT. They will nitpick over pebbles while refusing to even glance at the mountain of evidence that crushes their “convictions.”

— Richard W. Memmer: Act V

For the sake of argument: Let’s say Saddam had full-blown active WMD programs on chemical & biological weapons. The tubes would still be a lie — whether the war would have been justified in that scenario or not. I’ll go one further: Let’s say he had a uranium enrichment program in operation as well, but that the rotors were carbon fiber — not aluminum. Once again, the tubes would still be a lie. Getting lucky in finding something you didn’t know about — does not absolve you from a case that was woven out of whole cloth.

The road to reality is blocked by detours designed to keep you going in circles. Purveyors of poppycock reroute you with narratives that avoid detail like Black Death. The way out is to start with an inconsistency or two that’s narrow in scope and take the trail where it leads. To ascertain the truth on any topic: If you’ve got something concrete to go on — that’s your point of entry. By all means, keep the door open in every direction. But by nailing down the definitive first, it paves a clearer path to all the rest. This country does the exact opposite on everything (lumping it all together and never even approaching where you should have started in the first place):

DOE’s standard is to spin a tube at 20% above 90,000 RPM before failure — so 48,000 short is a pretty loose definition of “rough indication.” . . . Out of 31 tubes in subsequent testing, only one was successfully spun to 90,000 RPM for 65 minutes — which the CIA seized on as evidence in their favor.

One DOE analyst offered a superb analogy of that contorted conclusion: “Running your car up to 6,500 RPM briefly does not prove that you can run your car at 6,500 RPM cross country. It just doesn’t. Your car’s not going to make it.”

In an industry where fractions of a millimeter matter, these guys were playing horseshoes with centrifuge physics . . .

Oh. That 1.5 percent final solution. You left out the Jews, man. From Kissinger to Wolfowitz et al.

And if Harris becomes president, we know she will be doing good things domestically, as did president Johnson. And even under Nixon the EPA was established. But what all these guys, and the Bushes did in their foreign military non-self defense aggression has left millions, mostly civilians dead, plus tens of thousands of Americans dead. And Trump is severely psychologically damaged with possible dementia. We need to hold Harris accountable to the people for foreign policy so she does not go down a similar path if she hasn't already.

What "good things" do you expect Harris to do, should she become President?

I remember it not making any sense to me when we invaded Iraq after Saudi Arabian Muslim fanatics from an obscure religious sect attacked. Nothing has made sense since, until piecing it all together recently. The enemy is within and has been on the march for over 100 years. Now we know.

We must not forget that Powell backed Obama for president. He had no foundational values except to acquire power.

You could say that of virtually the entire governing class in the West.
