In his statement to The Atlantic magazine, former Defense Secretary General James Mattis says of the events of the last 10 days that have shaken the nation as it has not been shaken since 1968:
“We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers.”
Is “a small number of lawbreakers” an apt description of wilding mobs who have showered cops with bottles, bricks and rocks in 40 cities, looted stores in the hundreds, torched police cars, and injured dozens of Secret Service personnel defending the White House?
Trump never gave Roger Stone a cabinet position but Stone was more influential than most of Trump's cabinet. And now he's signaling he's about to pardon him for his criminal activities.
I keep hearing every elected official who talks about the protests-- and especially the looting and vandalism-- claim that the "troublemakers" are agitators from out-of-state. Which state? Someone is coming into California to rampage down Rodeo Drive and then Hollywood Blvd? I don't believe it-- and neither should you.
Yours truly, in Morocco, 1969, just before setting out for Afghanistan (so sanpaku)In 1969, the Hippie Trail from Europe to India went right through Afghanistan. I spent 2 years driving a VW van from London to India and back. I left Mashad in Iran, drove along a bumpy, unpaved truck road to the border crossing at Islam Q'ala and suddenly was in another century: Afghanistan. Herat was the first stop before Kandahar, Ghazni and then Kabul.
