As you know they don’t only move when you aren’t looking at them, they move and they kill you.

Thank you. The banality of the deep state standard apologia whenever this sort of thing is proposed (the way many FReepers enthused about the Patriot Act when it was being pushed) was really my point.

I'll use the /s next time.

WikiLeaks also says the CIA was also targeting control systems used by cars and trucks. Although WikiLeaks didn’t have details on how that might be used, it said the capability might allow the CIA to “engage in nearly undetectable assassinations.”

If you have an iPhone take a look at the top right screen just above the Signal Bar, many times there will be a green or yellow dot. That’s the lens for the camera on the screen side. I have seen it on many times when I’m not using the camera or any Apps that use the camera.

I always be sure to give them the finger and tell them to kiss My A$$ and they need to be monitoring the terrorscum instead of My boring life.

Ukraine is a sovereign country in Eastern Europe with a population of about 43 million people.

The country is a unitary republic under a semi-presidential system. The country exercises separation of power with three levels of government: legislative, executive, and judiciary.

Ukraine operates under a multi-party system. The president and the government hold the executive power while the legislature is vested in the parliament. The politics of the country has been categorized as over-centralized and associated to the legacy of the Soviet Union and caused by the fear of separatism.

The Executive Branch Of The Government Of Ukraine

The highest body of Ukraine’s executive power, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was formed on April 18, 1991, by the Law of Ukrainian SSR No.980-XII. The cabinet is made up of five individuals and several ministers representing the various ministries. The vice prime ministers head some of the ministries.

The president appoints the premier who must be confirmed by the parliament. The prime minister in consultation with the president nominates members to the cabinet who are also approved by the parliament. The Presidium of Cabinet is composed of the prime minister, first vice prime minister, and other vice prime ministers. The premier presides over the Cabinet. The Cabinet is answerable to the president and is held accountable by the parliament.

Addendum Comment #36

Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected President of Ukraine on April 21, 2019. On 20 May, 2019, he was sworn in as the 6th President of Ukraine.

On 25 February, Zelenskyy said that despite Russia’s claim that it was targeting only military sites, civilian sites were also being hit. In an early morning address that day, Zelenskyy said that his intelligence services had identified him as Russia’s top target, but that he is staying in Kyiv and his family will remain in the country. “They want to destroy Ukraine politically by destroying the head of state”, he said.

In the early hours of 26 February, during the most significant assault by Russian troops on the capital of Kyiv, the United States government and Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan urged Zelenskyy to evacuate to a safer location, and both offered assistance for such an effort. Zelenskyy turned down both offers and opted to remain in Kyiv with its defense forces, saying that “the fight is here [in Kyiv]; I need ammunition, not a ride”.

More than 90% of Ukrainians supported the actions of Zelenskyy, including more than 90% in western and central Ukraine and more than 80% in Russian-speaking regions in eastern and southern Ukraine. A Pew Research Center poll found that 72% of Americans had confidence in Zelenskyy’s handling of international affairs.
