On this week’s appearance on Financial Survival with Alfred Adask, James discusses the Senate report on CIA torture and what it says about the overturning (or revelation) of “American values” and the normalization of immorality. We also talk about the plummeting oil price and begin exploring its economic and geopolitical implications.

James,
You are an information moonshiner. Picking the information fruit of the internet, breaking it down, fermenting, distilling it into something more clear and pure and powerful stuff. Thank you.
I’m pretty sure that’s the first time I’ve ever been called an “information moonshiner,” but I’ll take it as a compliment. Thanks, cush350!
I’ll believe the CIA has stopped torture (or criminality in general) when the CIA has been officially disbanded and abolished from the face of the earth. And even then…But even the MSM is pointing out that the Executive Order that supposedly stopped this torture in 2009 doesn’t apply to other agencies like JSOC, which the new Senate report admits was (?) running its own detention sites:
