The TORTURE REPORT not so shocking...

I've heard a few news stations talk about it, each expressing a level of surprise that there aren't violent riots and protests going on in retaliation. Americans knew, any American who's watched movies or TV knew, even if they didn't realize they knew.

Think it's coincident that entertainment hired former Operatives as consultants to make the "entertainment" more realistic? Think it's a coincident that years after Government condoned torture exposure through several movies and TV shows demonstrating a likeness to actual events, we're now seeing a report to confirm it happened?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a means to gauge reactions, see where our moral lines have shifted. I also wouldn't be surprised if it's intended to distract people from the increasing number of police brutality cases.

My next play is away.... waiting for impact.

Perception is a damnable thing no matter how you look at it really. It's how we base the weight and value of all the things we do. It's also something unique to us, even though we may have similarities to others in the way we think and view the world. When it comes down to it, our perceptions can be as individual as our finger prints.

The Paradox Of Perception.

For those who have a hard time reading the above, "Wait, wait... so... you're saying I'm not only supposed to be myself, but be me while being aware of the perception of everyone I meet in order to portray myself in a context each of them will perceive as how I perceive myself?... Who does that?!"  - M.E.

I do that, not always but often. In this case I've forced myself to look at things from The Company's perspective. I've emailed "Sally" with my understanding of what I believe is their point of view as well as reached out to her for guidance on how to help without being seen as an attack.

In doing so I hope to know for sure if she's going to change how she responds to me and my concerns or if she's going to play the same hand and brush me off as best she can. In which case, I have another person in mind to prod.

Someone in this business has to care right? I'd like to think so anyway. I'll write more later, my time is limited at the moment.
