The Banality of Evil

He leaking. Call the amberlamps. Top 10 all time video. Best bit is the chick with headphones that just sits there. Does nothing. Watches. Listens to 10,000 Maniacs. Goes home.

 
I heard about this and thought it was bullshit. It's not. The Jade Helm 15 exercise is real.

Forces from all four branches of the military will take part in the July 15-Sept. 15 operation in seven states across the southwest, where role players will stand in for hostile and less-hostile forces.

Very disturbing stuff.

Lying liar Michael Hayden said:
Actually, once you get past the people with tinfoil on their heads (and, admittedly, a few others), even the most ardent critics of the metadata program do not claim that there has been any abuse of the program or that the program has been used in any way other than for the purposes for which it was first organized.
