CIA: Trained to lie, ready to kill, out to survive

The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) is a civilian [allegedly] foreign intelligence service that actually operates illegally within the country.

It is an arm of the federal government of the United States of America tasked by the White House with advancing national "security" through collecting and analyzing intelligence from around the world and conducting covert operations (black ops).

The agency, sometimes called The Company, is headquartered in the George Bush Center for Intelligence in Langley, Virginia, sometimes metonymously called "Langley."

CIA Director Bush heads legacy in White House

A major member of the United States Intelligence Community (IC), the CIA has reported to the director of national intelligence since 2004 and is focused on providing intelligence for the president (POTUS) and his/her Cabinet, though it also provides intelligence for a variety of other entities including the United States Armed Forces and foreign allies it favors, such as Israel.

The CIA is headed by a director and is divided into various "directorates," including a Directorate of Analysis and Directorate of Operations.

CIA black ops: covert operations

(Insider) How the CIA black ops actually work (covert operations)

King Bush? - No, Dalai Lama, president.

Unlike the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), the CIA has no law enforcement function and is supposed to only focus on intelligence gathering overseas, outside of the country. But it admits to limited domestic intelligence collection [8]. No one defines "limited," leaving it as unlimited as the CIA chooses.

The CIA is responsible for coordinating ALL human intelligence (HUMINT) activities in the IC [excluding the more secretive branches, arms, agencies, and ragtag criminals enlisted to commit crimes in black budget programs].

I like your dad, King Georgie. - Thanks, Dolly.

The CIA claims it has been instrumental in establishing intelligence services in many countries, and it provides funds and support to many foreign organizations.

The CIA exerts foreign political "influence" through its paramilitary operations units, including its Special Activities Center.

The CIA has also provided funds and support to several foreign political groups and governments, such as Israel's, including planning, coordinating, training, and carrying out torture, and technical support.

The CIA has been involved in many "regime changes" (assassinating, deposing, and disappearing leaders) and carrying out planned assassinations of foreign officials, leaders, and conducting terrorist attacks against unarmed civilian noncombatants, as it deems fit. More

Pre-civilization pyramid found in Japan

Cunk asks all the right questions #CunkOnEarth - Neil de Grasse Tyson defends Black Egyptians

Egyptian construction defies all physics: Ben van Kerkwyk

An 80-foot stepped pyramid off Japan may predate every civilization we can name

Beckham Langford, Morning Overview (MSN) June 2026

What else rests under Earth's vast oceans?

Off the Japanese coast of Yonaguni Island, divers have mapped an 80‑foot stepped formation. Some researchers are treating it as a possible submerged pyramid, others as a fractured slab of natural bedrock.

A scientific team applied surface irradiation dating and radiocarbon analysis to samples from the site and reported a formation age of about 10,000 years, raising the possibility that the structure predates every named civilization now in school textbooks.

The age estimate has turned a local curiosity into a live question about when organized construction first appeared in what is now Japan.

Why an 80-foot stepped pyramid off Japan matters now

Yonaguni Monument Terraces midpart NWW (Yonaguni Monument/Wikipedia)

.

The central tension is no longer whether an amazing structure exists at Yonaguni, but what its age and origin say about early humans around the Westernmost Point of Japan.

If the stepped blocks at Iseki Point (Kaitei Iseki) formed around 10,000 years ago, as one scientific abstract reports, then any deliberate shaping would have happened long before the rise of states in the Middle East like Mesopotamia or Egypt's Nile Valley.

• [But this dating would place it long after Gobekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, and other sites like the pyramids of Egypt and Sudan/Nubia, which are possibly 25,000+ years old, to make no mention of Plato's mythical Atlantis or Mexico's Aztlán].

Location of Japan's Ryukyu Islands

That gap is what makes the site have global relevance rather than making it merely a regional diving attraction. The age estimate comes from samples collected at Iseki Point on the seafloor and analyzed with a surface irradiation dating method, according to an ETDE/OSTI bibliographic record.

The same record states that 14C age determination of attached fossils was used alongside irradiation data to estimate when the submarine ruins formed, and it gives a figure of about 10,000 years for that formation age.

Those numbers anchor the debate: If the structure is that old, any human role would push organized stonework in the region far earlier than currently documented...

Additional context comes from work that links the Yonaguni structure to the wider history of the Ryukyu Islands. A study cited through a digital object identifier treats the site within the paleogeography of the region and references “Paleogeography of Ryukyu Islands and” the submarine ruins off Yonaguni, Okinawa, Japan, according to the record for Kasekiken.

By placing the formation within a broader reconstruction of sea levels and island positions, that research frames the Iseki Point structure as one data point in a changing coastal system rather than as an isolated anomaly. More:

Anniversary of Los Angeles Uprisings ('Riots')

The 1992 Los Angeles uprisings, a reaction to LA Police Department abuses and racist criminal behavior under color of law that had gone on with impunity for as long as anyone could remember. That was 34 years ago, as of 2026.

(Wiki) Los Angeles, California, experienced a series of riots and civil disturbances during April and May of 1992 [5]. "Civil unrest" began after a distant jury acquitted four abusive police officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) charged with using excessive force in the wanton beating and arrest of Mr. Rodney King. The center of the trouble was in "South Central" Los Angeles (Watts) on April 29th, 1992. The shockingly racist police incident had been videotaped by Mr. George Holiday, who was a bystander witnessing the incident who had the presence of mind to begin filming, and was heavily reported on by news and media outlets.

Most beautiful girl in world is Black

Symmetry, lips, eyes, supreme complexion...

At just three years old, she was called “the most beautiful girl in the world.” Here’s what she looks like now at 17.

 At just 10-years-old, she was given the title “the most beautiful girl in the world.” Many years later, many believe that description still fits her.

 

While many young girls dream of entering beauty competitions and taking home crowns, she gained worldwide attention without competing in any beauty pageants.

Her captivating look drew modeling agencies to her from an early age. With piercing blue eyes, long hair, a confident gaze, and full lips, she was labeled “the most beautiful girl in the world” before she even turned 10.

In 2010, she appeared in a controversial spread for Vogue that sparked debate about makeup use and the early sexualization of young girls.

It's all about their beauty and our money, right?

She also appeared on the covers of Teen Vogue and Jalouse [which emphasized her math skills, test scores, nerdy habits, and thoughtful opinions on contemporary societal issues...uh, no, they just cared about her looks, too].

Question: Russell J. Taeza

Dear Venerables: 🙏 (*anjali mudra*). Thank you in advance 😍 for your time and guidance. 😇 In the sutras (Pali canon discourses), it is said that karma (our store of deeds) affects how we are reborn, that is to say, beautiful/ugly, wise/dull, wealthy/poor.

I have developed confidence in the Buddha’s Teaching from my own personal observations. Now, as far as my practice has taken me, from the observation of my own mind/heart, I’ve seen how this could be: EMOTIONS affect my physical appearance, particularly my facial features.

Bright feelings brighten the complexion.

I’ve observed just how the heart/mind feels when it is feeding on joy (piti) derived from kindness, compassion, and generosity. That to me is what the Buddha meant by wealth and beauty: The mind being bright, our next rebirth, our new physical form and character will tend to be pleasing.

Emotions project outward through our facial, speech, and bodily expressions so that everyone experiences them.

The real danger I find is the mind getting overcome by negative emotions. Negative emotions can become deeply ingrained when one hasn’t developed enough mindful awareness of them.

Don't tell me to "smile," Russell!!!

For example, I have a friend whose life outlook isn’t that great; negativity is so ingrained in her mind that she doesn’t notice it at all anymore. I’ve tried my best to uplift her world view but with no luck at all.

Now to me, this is what the Buddha meant by ugliness and being poor, the mind clouded, on the next birth, the new physical form and characteristics tends to be just mediocre and at worst unpleasant (not pleasing).

Don't tell me what to do, Russell. Do you, Boo.

Would it be right view, right understanding, to say that the mind, with its accumulated characteristics from previous deeds (karma), is the forming and conditioning force behind the physical body at rebirth?

This brings to memory a sutra in which the Buddha refers to the physical body as past karma. Have I approached this teaching and contemplated it correctly?

With gratitude (katanyu) 🙏, Russell

 

REPLY by Ajahn Brahmali, Feb. 26, 2015

Ajahn Brahmali | BSWA

Dear Russell: That’s an interesting point you are making, and there may well be much truth to it. Our mind is certainly powerful, and its influence is enormous. However, I think there is a tendency for people to think of the results of karma [vipaka, phala, karmic results and fruits] too much in physical terms, such as one’s physical appearance or one’s wealth.

But the really important issue is one’s mental life, and it is this that karma is really all about. We do good things and we feel good. The result is a rebirth where we feel good. Part of this can be physical factors, since there is obviously some degree of happiness to be derived from good material circumstances.

But we all know of cases of people who are wealthy have miserable lives, including depression and all sorts of personal problems. If we are truly depressed, how much use is our wealth to us? With metta. Source

Slavery ended Feb 1, 1865? 13th Amendment

Pres. Lincoln abolishes slavery with the 13th Amendment | Abraham Lincoln | HISTORY

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

We are all taught to celebrate Juneteenth (June 19th) as if that were when the USA abolished slavery. But that happened with the ratification of the 13th Amendment on Feb. 1, 1865. Of course, the American government didn't bother to tell slaves and thereby free them. But that is when it became de jure (by law) illegal. De facto (by fact) we still have slavery in many forms -- human trafficking, working convicts, secretly employing the vulnerable, sexual trafficking of women, children, and boys...

(Weird History) What actually happened when the slaves were "freed"?

What do you mean you want to rape/enslave me?

There may have been more Native American (Indigenous, "Indians," Amerindians) slaves than Blacks or African imports. Most of them were worked to death or contaminated with diseases they had no immunity to deal with, and they are rarely spoken of; however, historians have documented this fact.

And when the USA invaded the Old West using the "Monroe Doctrine" and "manifest destiny" as pretexts, it stole half of the land that was Mexico, under Spanish rule. So a large part of this country is in fact Mexico except that "might makes right."
