We are now in a crazy position that, if we identify a terrorist enemy on the battlefield, such as ISIS, we can kill them with drone or any other weapon. But if we capture them and want to hold them at Guantanamo or in the United States, the military is tied down in developing evidence for an adversarial process and must spend resources in interminable litigation.
The Barr declaration suggests the attempt to restrict the rebellion to one man has failed. It is now a cause of it’s own. I don’t think this is Trump anymore. This is a post Trump challenge to the Left.
According to a quick survey of videos of people introducing her, American and British pronunciations are roughly the same (Maxwell was the founder of an environmental nonprofit, a philanthropic job that often took her to conferences and TedTalks, and before the U.N.). These people, who I assume confirmed how to pronounce the name before saying it in front of others, say “Gee-lane,” with a hard g. For the second syllable, some hit the “–ane” pretty hard, as in “Gee-lane,” or “G’lane.” Others go with “-ahn,” as in “Gee-lahn”. It depends on regional accent (this guy sounds like he’s saying “Glen” when introducing her at a conference some years ago). But regardless of accent, the g is a hard one and the s is silent. “Gee-lane.”

Some secrecy is necessary but excess classification hurts everybody because ironically it creates a paranoid society.
It’s impossible to commemorate the collapse of the USSR without recalling Ronald Reagan, a man contemporary media opinion regarded as a bozo and a fool, yet clearly saw what self-appointed intellectuals missed: Communism was a fraud.
“In contract theory and economics, information asymmetry deals with the study of decisions in transactions where one party has more or better information than the other. This asymmetry creates an imbalance of power in transactions.”
The job of the media is not to disseminate the news but to protect the information asymmetry of the ruling elite. What you are to be told is important. What you are not to be told is even more important.
Virtue signaling is a smokescreen for pure, cynical power grabbing.
“We take violations of company policy very seriously, and we’re pursuing all avenues to determine the source of the leak,”

Hollywood has conditioned us to believe that if there’s a bad guy in the story the other must be a good guy. But often real world conflicts are contests between bad guys. It’s an Alien vs Predator world.
The reason the cynical media hates the idea of Christianity is it’s absurd belief that somewhere, someplace there exists a Good Guy.
