"There is no justice in following unjust laws." –Aaron Swartz nostr:nevent1qqs8whskgcfrt9v973fs94agxa53eslumc86jv7al3vpyvn5t0x5qmqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qz204rz2az24ne8xuym9j90dmnh533e03elucjslnsc802wjyrqpsxpqqqqqqz2l37z2

> "Two days before his death, JSTOR, his alleged victim, declined to press charges. It went further. It “announced that the archives of more than 1,200 of its journals would be available to the public free.” > Aaron had just cause to celebrate. “Are we to believe” he hanged himself instead?" https://www.lewrockwell.com/2013/01/stephen-lendman/internet-freedom-and-copyright-reform-aaron-swartzs-suspicious-death/#:~:text=Two%20days%20before,hanged%20himself%20instead%3F

"Hanged himself." Like Epstein did. nostr:nevent1qqsq6jwx5ymrw79anklf8ukde6s73cw3g9dzfxk0jsd84dcp26ldv5gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygx6ee3mqrzzumsp05qd6xg2jv5rscqzlavhhpq7khherhj0rn5yjypsgqqqqqqsnq8t6v

i just watched a Candace Owens interview with an ex-CIA agent. I used to think it was funny to be call someone a CIA agent or whatever, because at least that means they are smart and ambitious. i didn't realize it was really as bad as it is. The 80% at the bottom are young and smart and motivated and the 20% at the top are narcissistic psychopaths with no regard for human life one of the stories is that they openly leave information about who were their field spies accessible to the other nation. this means, that when those spies get killed by X nation, the CIA can then bang drums about "they killed so-and-so" and we need to take action. it's like we are fighting ourselves all over the world! we need more kids like this guy. perhaps we should also train kids to recognize when they are being manipulated by companies/recruiters into thinking they are smart/special and owe loyalty to X enterprise etc.

I'm listening to this interview right now. It's a good insider's look at the evil C.I.A. 😬 https://youtu.be/nuPzPQl_uFc nostr:nevent1qqs07vcu69jcnjqpwgj546x0mkkrd9m63lvrj6tnnkpzjjk3u8kkgjqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtczypz5hsnhrf57xzzr6r7vlhnwzp0l8mw9ceeenql0vyzzvvly49tp5qcyqqqqqqgvp279n

*edit* "the evil U.S. government" The C.I.A. is just a part of it and the interview gets into other evils the government committed even pre-C.I.A. (Pearl Harbor). We can't just compartmentalize and blame particular parts of the government; the whole beast is the problem.
