1) Follow me on this. Returning to Pompeo making Hamza Yusuf the Trump Admin's "Human Rights Advisor" (thus subordinating US human rights to Islamic law as defined by the MB) in the context of causation . . .
2) . . . and whether intent should be based on a person's actions or should it be based on Oprah-style personal motivation assessments that can never be validated for every player in every event. Is it enough to know that a person did x, y & z, and trainwrecks a, b & c happened?
3) A number of years back I was asked to explain Muslim Brotherhood activity in the U.S. to Congressman Pompeo. He pushed back to such an extent, the people who arranged the dinner were shocked when he walked out. I noted the hostile role that the West Point CTC played . . .
4) . . . in the combatting terror effort. This was something people in the fight were well aware of. Pompeo became indignant. On his authority as a West Point grad, and friend of the founder of the CTC, he made it clear that what was said was beneath him.
5) From Congressional testimony, West Point CTC players were among the key players in the 2011 Muslim Brotherhood lead purge of counter-terror professionals in the USG who did not tow the MB line, lead by, among others, Brennan.
6) While fronting for Pompeo's vision of human rights (is this too unfair?), Hamza Yusuf published "The Prayers of the Oppressed" which was distributed to rioters supporting the violently anti-Trump BLM & Antifa this past summer "rioting is the voice of the oppressed" -
7) Pompeo's highly endorsed WP CTC is also a center of Marxist narratives, used to train West Point students, the future officer corp, that those who believe in the Constitution are violence oriented far right-wingers. Don't believe me (and still posted)?

8) So, given the GOPe support for West Point CTC, and there reasonably open promotion of the MB and the Marxist left, why are you shocked at this -
9) So when Pompeo credentialed himself capable to run the Agency based on being a West Point grad and jr artillery officer in the '80s - then a stint on the HPSCI, why're you surprised that he picked his close confidant - in London during Crossfire Hurricane - as his replacement?
10) Given the trainwreck, w Pompeo as the example, why should I have to audit Oprah analysis when, if you are what you do, and what you see maps to most likely outcomes, that the analytical load should not be so burdened, esp if its most likely role is to overwrite the WYSIWYG?

2) or, Plato's Meno [81a-82a] where he explains that the soul is eternal - has always existed - so that knowledge comes from "recollecting" what you knew before you were born - pondering the Forms. In this theory of knowledge, people NEVER learn anything new, they just remember.
