Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.

I think this might be the right thread for it. I'm reading Civil–Military Relations in Indonesia: The Politics of Military Operations Other Than War and I get the feeling that this might be a bit of an understatement:




Say, did anything happen between 1965-66 in Indonesia that might effect the Civil-Military relationship? Because that's as close as the book gets to mentioning anything.

it says right there: the 30th of September happened in 1965

There are a lot of "institutes" pushing narratives on that one so good luck.

The UK used to be the biggest drug dealers. Makes sense that when the US inherited the empire, the US became the biggest drug dealers.

The full text of the quote in the final paragraph is a brief BMJ article
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2386629/

Working for a year in the Kabul children’s hospital in the 1970s gave me a perspective on Afghanistan that conflicts with the Foreign Office’s view that “the Taliban is promoting opium production to finance terrorism.”1

The simple facts are that opium production was high under the US influenced government of Afghanistan of the 1970s, decreased 10-fold by 2001 under the Taliban, and then increased 30-fold and more under the US to the same level as in the 1970s.2

History shows us how empires function; be they British or US. The East India Company organised the opium trade through “free traders”—men with fast ships and guns to fend off the pirates. One of the most famous free traders was Francis Light, founder of the British province of Penang. These are facts, whereas the idea that the CIA runs opium from Afghanistan would be a conspiracy theory—unless, you thought about the United Nations statistics or happened to have been to Afghanistan.

I wonder if “Clive of the East India Company,” whose statue is outside the Foreign Office’s front door, has influenced its interpretation of world events.

Remember when the CIA had a desperate sitdown with the Taliban after they liberated the county to desperately plead to not do this. Probably the real reason we confiscated their reserve, to just give to the CIA to make up for their heroin losses

my experience with it (only outpatient stuff, a few minor urgent care visits after hours) has been pretty good. a lot better than it used to be

costs are subsidized and you can pay out of a national health account that you pay into as part of your social security taxes. out of pocket for unsubsidized medications or if your account ran out of money

things are very electronic and efficient, you book appointments, pay bills, see test results all from an app and waiting times are generally pretty fast
