Voices in the bleachers
* Here are some random comments that made some sense to me when I ran across them on social media. * - It hopefully will prove much harder in the future for the U.S. to attract proxies to do its' dirty work. The U.S. recruitment and then betrayal of Ukraine will stand for years and years as a sign post of all the reasons not to be a patsy of the (former) empire. - It is the fear of telling the public hard truths the politicians do not want you to hear. - The NYT is right back to the conduct of the Judy Miller era, doing shameless stenography for... read more

BUT THEY'VE CHOSEN DARKNESS
Liz Cheney had one of the most quoted lines from last night's January 6 committee hearing: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone but your dishonor will remain,” she said. I wish I could believe that that's how collective memory works. I wish I believed that we ultimately agree on one set of truths. But I heard Cheney promise that Trump supporters' "dishonor" will be self-evident shortly after this story appeared: The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security warned on Tuesday that people in online forums... read more

From CBC An expert group drafted by the World Health Organization to help investigate the origins of the coronavirus pandemic says further research is needed to determine how COVID-19 first began, including a more detailed analysis of the possibility it was a laboratory accident. That stance marks a sharp reversal of the United Nations agency's initial assessment of the pandemic's origins. WHO concluded last year that it was "extremely unlikely" COVID-19 might have spilled into humans from a lab.
