THE Praetorian Guard | John ''Bob'' R. Stockwell - former CIA case officer (1979)

We all owe John Stockwell a great debt. Unable to continue the CIA corruption he committed economic suicide and professional destruction by quitting the CIA and sharing with the outside world what the CIA was doing wrong - organised criminals. Normally the controlled media would leap at the chance of portraying a handsome and principled American as heroic which indeed he is but that's not possible in a corporate for profit media culture.

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) Major (Ret.) John R. Stockwell, former CIA case officer and former CIA Angola Station Chief who served 12 years in CIA introduces the documentary made about him by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Saul Landau. The movie has been shown in several film festivals around the world and on TV in many countries; but the U.S. networks, including PBS, refused to show it. Consequently, our showing provides its American premiere. Next, we look at segments of three weeks' coverage by the TV networks of the situation concerning the Russian troops in Cuba, interspersed with John's comments. Finally, John gives his evaluation of Cuba, having recently visited there three times, and his arguments against the CIA. The program was designated "tonight's highlight" by the Austin American-Statesman and evoked much discussion. During his career in CIA -- John was also high ranking member of United States National Security Council (NSC). 

John R. Stockwell served 7 tours of duties in: Ivory Coast (1966-1967), Zaire (1967-1969), Burundi (1969-1972), Vietnam (1973-1975), Angola (1975-1976).

CIA Covert Operations and U.S. Interventions Since World War II

An excellently produced documentary that is interesting I think even to the lay person. 

There's a young Amy Goodman of Democracy Now who has always impressed me with her grasp of South East Asia affairs although her 9/11 denial makes her a left gatekeeper. 

She explains the E. Timor deal lucidly here.

HOW TO: Make your own Fleshlight

What you need: Pringles empty potato chips can, sponge pad, lubricated condom, bottle ring, elastic band or elastic wrist band, scissors, ruler and marker.

1. Cut the sponge pad down to the size of the can. Try rolling the sponge pad just as if you’re making sushi, to see if it fits. Make sure you’re able to fit at least three fingers or the estimated size of your weiner through the space in the middle of the roll. 

2. Once you have the right size for the pad, get a condom and mark the length of the condom on the spongey pad. Cut the pad again to match the condom’s length.

3. Position the bottle ring at the bottom of the condom, and then lay it on one edge of the pad and roll the pad around the condom, again like sushi, as if the condom is the filling and the pad is the seaweed.

4. Stuff your condom roll into the potato can. If you like, use red or pink marker and color the sponge to make it more realistic. Pull and roll the top elastic portion of the condom around the can of the mouth, and then secure it with an elastic band.

5. Use it with a water-based lubricant and enjoy your new toy.
