John Brennan is very displeased that his security clearance has been revoked and he damn sure wants to make certain we all know of his displeasure.
Two American cyclists, Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, were run down and murdered in the nation of Tajikistan.
They and two others were murdered by ISIS.
The reason they were there was in attempt to demonstrate their belief that,
"Evil is a make-believe concept we've invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own—it's easier to dismiss an opinion as abhorrent than strive to understand it. Badness exists, sure, but even that's quite rare. By and large, humans are kind."
Sadly, they found out that evil does exist.
We Care About Our Children!
We put bike helmets on their heads to protect their brains.
However, what's going "into" their brains?

Would you be surprised if I told you your kids were learning many "untruths" in regards to the middle east and Islam?
What if I told you it wasn't just college age students who were being force fed propaganda, hate, and lies... but that it's also being pushed K-12? Knowledge is power!
