We're just asking questions, man. Does the CIA control my kitchen appliances? There's no evidence that they don't, any why wouldn't they? Actually here's a clip of a man 50 years ago admitting that the CIA do have

Okay but did you know there's a man in prison in Arizona named Jose, who's in for heroin smuggling? Heroin smuggling is bad, and I've imagined that someone paid for the OP article to have this headline. Putting the same logic

Your determination of who funds the agency has no relevance to the fake invented conspiracy theory which the post above is spreading. It's a paper about a study which RAND did. You can click into read the paper and see if the headline

It would be nice if there were sources for this. It reads as though the author is intimately familiar with Frank Herbert's life, but it is anonymous with no sourcing.

I'm curious about the anecdote you shared - 1. You don't pay cash on those apps you mentioned - afaik all save a card number on file. It wouldn't make sense that you could climb into an Uber and then complain that you forgot

That's a link about a donation, from an asset management company, not some "lobby". It doesn't even say that the donor is Jewish. I don't think it's okay for you to draw a straight line, from an asset managemen
