r seasteading. You got all the fresh water you need with that new technology. I imagine waste could be handled in a good way or a bad way because you're in the ocean. It looks like your food would mostly be right there in the ocean, wouldn't it? Don't you think you'd be able to fish yourself up plenty of protein?

rganization that has a number of past CIA leaders. You know, I think Clapper is actually in the organization that Rob Reiner organizes. So we know he has personal connections in the intel world. And we know that he's blaming the CIA for the murder of JFK along with the mafia.

So his take is that it's a little more complicated than the normal way the story is told, but that basically there were elements in the CIA who worked with elements in the mafia. The mafia was mad that they got kicked out of Cuba. So the mafia wanted Kennedy to make good with Cuba so they could go back and get their casinos and their business back.

The rogue right-wing elements. Does it sound a lot like the military looking for the white supremacists in the military? Oh it does, doesn't it? Yeah. Because then the military can be good but the white supremacis…
