Truth & the Nexus Between Soft & Hard Power (Part 4)
▼UK & US: Repression & False Promise of Stability▼
The history of liberty is a history of the limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power...
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot
understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary
prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his
intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the
results of his thought in clear form.

If "Teacher Isabelle" still has more questions and/or is dissatisfied, I'll attempt to disambiguate...How's that?
I'm satisfied, as usual. I know somebody said curiosity killed the cat, but that somebody forgot that a cat has nine lives. :D Anyway, I like Tom Hanks in Philadelphia.

A very rewarding lifestyle...the paranoid, defensive but fully integrated modus vivendi/student/practitioner...
Look around for proof.

And not to be controversial again but I lost all interest in the Security Services after 1941 when you guys blackmailed us into sharing the secrets of our 'sacred Intelligence cow' and turned it into the CNN joke we all know and laugh at love today...
...Oops.
What was the name of that book by Tim Winer...?

I do have one question, if I have a TP link and I believe someone is 'piggy backing' on it is there a way to find out?

Hey don't look at me man, I am JAFO.
Milus asked me about a video uplaod the other day and I humbly re-directed her to The Master But as far as I know Tom Hanks gets everywhere these days right?
He has come along way since his days of being interviewed by Playboy magazine, which by the way was for me, the highlight of his career.

@ Isabelle:
I love it when people ask very specific substantive or curious questions that demonstrate they actually, saw, heard or experienced something in it's entirety!! Just groovy!
First hint:
Just for fun: Let me defer to Professor & DJ David to answer your questions ...
If "Teacher Isabelle" still has more questions and/or is dissatisfied, I'll attempt to disambiguate...How's that?
