Wray doesn't have to be impartial. Just do his effing job. I have it in for Wray because the assault on the Capitol could not have happened without the FBI failing to adequately alert the other leaders. Had he warned as he SHOULD HAVE, the National Guard would have no excuse not to be on hand. Wray has not been credible in his testimony regarding his and the FBI's response to the internet traffic leading up to Jan 6. Wray's utter failure demonstrates complicity in Trump's sedition. Just as we saw with the Secret Service, the Army, and members of Congress. This plot is deep and broad, and they all deserve to be fired, tried and jailed for 20 years. Every effing one. (But I know we'll be lucky to see 1% of that). And you may have caught the Congressional hearing demanding that Wray properly report the status of the investigation into why Kavanaugh didn't get vetted. Wray is a psychotic ultra-conservative, so partisan he politicizes the whole FBI, and not in a good direction. He is definitely NOT impartial, but it's possible that he may not support Trump (any longer).

It was a one-off infusion that took about an hour to drip into Elliott's body.

But compared to cigarettes? We know what cigarettes do and those are deadly dangerous for most people. A true statistical comparison would be enlightening.

5 truths about dark matter that no scientist can deny: [bigthink.com]

racocn8 comments on Aug 5, 2022:

It is hard to imagine a particle like Dark Matter is supposed to be not interacting with light as all other particles do. If Dark Matter is 85%, where is the scattered light? As Dark Matter is invoked to generate the various gravitational effects, that should include the super-massive black holes that somehow developed in a mere 1-2 billion years. Again, that formation is inconceivable without some other mechanism than the gravity of only visible matter. And yet, invoking Dark Matter doesn't solve the problem either. The Standard Model explains a lot, but it doesn't have a box for Dark Matter that corresponds or relates to anything else. I know... Dark Matter is God... That explains everything...

racocn8 comments on Aug 4, 2022:

Different organizations may be science based, but they are also based on people and their politics. Thus, corporate science can be ugly. Unfortunately, scientists have failed to significantly address the various kinds of corruption that degrade our systems. Perhaps the complexity of those systems have, so far, defied our understanding, and our ability to remediate them. The notion of inspector general can be effective, but as we've seen, that system can be corrupted if a malignant actor seeks to do so. (I worked on a project that found that gas-powered diesels pollute 8-times as many particles as diesel-fuel-powered diesels, and that the particles from natural gas were much more hazardous physiologically. However, the fix was in and the conversion to gas-powered diesels would proceed. And this was done under the auspices of the California Air Resources Board and Southern Califonia Air Quality for the Metropolitan District. I shudder to think of the health impacts that will accrue. )

At the beginning of the essay, the term "information warfare" is used a few times. That would be a euphemism for psychological warfare. The Russian bear is here, NOW. The people plotting the coup in the White House (Dec mtgs) all had ties to Russia, as do most Senate Republicans. Half the Evangelicals support Russia over Ukraine, even though they have no history of affection for Russia. The bigger question is why the intelligence agencies have put up with this infiltration? And why is Russia's assault on the West being given no coverage? I attended a meeting with Eric Swalwell in 2019 and asked him why the media censored the report issued by the Senate that found that Russia had been instrumental in passing Brexit. They used the exact same strategy of social media bots later that year to elect Trump. They had honed their skills from similar campaigns in Ukraine and French elections. Swalwell replied that the MSM didn't exactly censor the report, but simply didn't cover it (apparently it wasn't newsworthy). Some serious shit is going down and no one will call it out. Yeah, this country is just full of patriots. (I did ask him to declassify the other AATIP videos and reports.

A few other characteristics... For narcissists, everything is transactional. This doesn't exactly fit because the US has an ugly history of going back on its word, and betraying those that put trust in the relationship. Although hinted at by your other elements, narcissists are bullies and behave in an abusive manner to everyone in their circle. Certainly the adoration of machismo in the U.S. fits. The counterpoint to acting macho is the default position of cowardice. Bullying the weak and disenfranchised also fits well. This dovetails with the 10. Lack of responsibility and 12. Fear of rejection. As we saw with Uvalde, cowardice is abundant among the macho crowd, and fingers get pointed everywhere else. Also on 12's Fear of Rejection, and 11's Lack of Boundaries, we can classify the disposition towards White fragility. If things don't go their way, they throw a tantrum. The reversion to childish behavior can be quite striking. Trump's tossing the fries at the kitchen wall comes to mind...
