This video presents selected excerpts from a public lecture by former CIA officer John Stockwell, who served in the Agency for over a decade and later spoke openly about his experiences.

Stockwell was a high-ranking case officer and former station chief, notably involved in U.S. covert operations in Angola during the 1970s. After leaving the CIA, he became one of the most prominent insiders to publicly discuss the structure, methods, and long-term impact of covert intelligence activities.

It should not be surprising that since we are all born helpless, ignorant, and selfish that while most people navigate through life withing the limits of social convention, that many would use their free will to get whatever they can for themselves.

Buddhists see the problem of humanity is that of desire. However, rather than suppressing desire, the Christian approach (that sadly most Christians are unaware of) is one of transcending the selfishness of our natural state to the selfless love of Christ likeness.

Government is evil in the same way that people are evil. Creatures given free will would be expected to seek to serve themselves. Consider Skynet.

I can't believe in free will, neither could Einstein.

Freewill is not free , nor is Freedom,It has been said that the Road to Freedom has been paved with the Blood of Patriots
from time to time.

And yet our "evil" government has managed to keep most of its population fat, entertained, and relatively safe from hostile nations for the past century.

But by all means let us flush that all down the toilet and let worse countries take over just because we get one really bad president. :roll:

It is supposably written as a oxymoronic situation in the Constitution that we live under a Corporation . In the first paragraph . Read it closely . But supposably there is a bill of Rights . . And apparently the Founding Fathers might have got the plot twisted by some very ingenious businessmen . And it was almost looking good until , the Largest corporations usurped the Powers of the goverment by influence and massive financial investment . We have individuals now, worth much more than the entire value of some smaller countries now .Whats wrong with that picture . It IS WHY this country had anti-Trust laws ,I believe . Now those laws are defunct . And criminals are currently running a Country . That has huge resources , Intelligence companies, Military Industrial companies , Now , the US military is opening the military here to private investments ! Where did our tax money to keep a fighting force , go to ? The Arc de Trump ?
