‘Double Tap’ Strikes On First Responders Still In Use Overseas

Sorry this is a wrong link to the Young Turks video, please read the following post about this issue

 

A field investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in
Pakistan’s tribal areas appears to confirm that the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) last year briefly revived the controversial tactic of
deliberately targeting rescuers at the scene of a previous drone strike.
The tactic has previously been labelled a possible war crime by two UN
investigators.

The Bureau’s new study focused mainly on strikes
around a single village in North Waziristan — attacks that were aimed
at one of al Qaeda’s few remaining senior figures, Yahya al-Libi. He was
finally killed by a CIA drone strike on June 4 2012.”*

Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

The Horrible Injustice of the Bradley Manning Verdict

 

“Transparency campaigners condemned the harsh sentence in prospect for
Bradley Manning, but journalists and lawyers closely associated with the
trial were relieved with the acquittal for the most serious charge —
that he “aided the enemy” by transmitting state secrets to WikiLeaks.”*

Bradley
Manning faces the prospect of spending the rest of his life in prison
for charges including espionage for whistle blowing on the U.S. military
to Wikileaks. Does he deserve the steep sentence, and will be become an
example of what happens when someone steps out of line? Why was his
case ignored by the mainstream press? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Wolf Pack everyone has a voice

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens. – Carl Jung

More About Our Company

What is the Wolf Pack?

Wolf Pack is a resource for young men.

Are you a young man (around the ages of 16-20) – excited by the possibilities of manhood, yet searching for ways to understand yourself, life, women, sex and that growling voice in your belly that demands to be nourished with a sense of purpose?

“In schools you get taught algebra, how to read, to write – but no one teaches you about yourself” – Sam

Perhaps you’d like to enjoy your connections with women more? You’ve reached a point where you realise WHO you are, speaks more loudly than parroting clever lines or acting cool and confident.

“Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.” – Carl Jung

The Pack

Is a safe and welcoming environment offering brotherhood, mentorship and mutual respect – everyone has a voice. Wolf Pack is a source of emotional support, acceptance, accountability and man time! Within the pack, we share our gifts and challenges, drawing upon our mutual strength to discover greater understanding and enjoyment of ourselves, other men, women (grr!), fatherhood and living with a deep sense of purpose. The Pack is a place where men feel they can belong.

Together, we embrace the gifts of masculinity, exploring and living all aspects of being, whilst becoming fully integrated men.

“For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.” – Rudyard Kipling

100 Million Dollars And 6 Months To Live

“Called both ‘brilliantly funny’ and ‘mentally unbalanced’ by Simpsons
co-creator Matt Groening, television writer-producer Sam Simon, 58, has
become known throughout Hollywood for his philanthropy since leaving the
iconic animated series in 1993 (he retained a highly lucrative
executive producer title). A Stanford grad who grew up in Beverly Hills
and Malibu — and rose in the industry at a young age to become the
showrunner of Taxi at 24 — Simon confesses, ‘I don’t know,’ when it
comes to estimating his charitable donations to date.”*

What
would you do if you had millions of dollars and six months to live? Cenk
Uygur (@cenkuygur) and Ana Kasparian (@anakasparian) break it down.
