http://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2015-0...lly-shows/
I forced myself to sit through a video of executions by various evil sods around the world to see what happened to the body when it was hit with bullets. It's not pleasant duty.
In every case I saw - I stopped after five or six minutes out of nearly twenty, sick to the stomach - there was an autonomous reaction as the person was shot; a twitch, body jerk etc. Always something. I can accept that there is not always a lot of blood, and the absence of it in the clip in question, does not cause me great concern, because the clip is short and it seems that sometimes blood seepage takes a bit of time. Even so, I would have expected a bit of splatter at the point of entry. And I would have expected a body reaction - a jerk, twitch - something. But there was nothing. The policeman just slowly turned back towards the pavement.
It is a question that remains unexplained for me.
And as the writer of the above example says, it's very easy to drag out the conspiracy theorist tag, and it's very easy for the media to close up shop and say the video is in bad taste (it is) and delete it.
But evidence is evidence and if the people are not allowed to see it and discuss it, then we are left to trust those we pay who do these things on our behalf to save us the heartache. And how many of us really trust them to do the right thing anymore? Not me.
Once bitten twice shy, thrice bitten more fool me. Always bitten? It's a rabid dog.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
