China and Vietnam are the only countries worldwide which have executed bankers for corruption in recent decades. No ahem necessary.

Yes. Why should I believe he was guilty of anything? The fair and balanced media said so?

I’m speaking with regards to the American legal system. Yes the endless foreign wars are also unconstitutional.

Until proven guilty, yes they are always innocent.

It's a joke that you're missing.

Absurd statement. If you omit surface-level syntax, there's very little that's "in the style of Ruby" in terms of actual semantics.

From "An Evaluation of the Program for Reducing the Workweek in the USSR"

> There is considerable evidence that the reduction in hours of work is a basic goal and commitment of the Communist movement and the Soviet state.

Nice you can also spam links without making an argument, some of which 404. Can you help me reverse a linked list in Python?

Can you address any of the points the commenter made instead of retreating into an ideological non sequitur?

Someone could have manually tried to archive it on September 1.

Her statements reflect uncertainty on whether the report would be published as there was intense political pressure in both directions.

Please calm down. They might not like Trump — that would be a given for many in these elite circles — but are they really opposed to the prevailing world order? In what material way?

How does being Swiss contradict anything I said? Switzerland is deeply integrated into this prevailing order. It is home to the Bank of International Settlements, the supra-national central bank of central banks whose charter grants it immunity from any national subpoena or inquest.

The Internet Archive recorded an error page for that URL just four minutes prior. So we know that the document was not available before September 1, after Bachelet's term had ended.

You chose the Internet Archive as authoritative evidence, not me. Your back-pedaling "most likely explanation" is again disproven by your own source as the Internet Archive recorded an error page for that URL just four minutes prior. So we know that the document was not available before September 1, after Bachelet's term had ended.

Where has the UN asserted that Bachelet prepared this report? Please share if you are aware of any such assertion.

Again, the report does not make any reference to the High Commissioner's inquiries as other reports do. Your "most likely explanation" fails to account for this.

Yes, media outlets lie and make errors all the time. Sorry to be the one to break this to you.

Great. So we can agree we shouldn't take anything at face value.

That's a very outdated model for how conspiracies work. Why would it be necessary to bribe and threaten journalists working at these organizations? They genuinely believe in the project of the US financial, military, and cultural empire. They went to the same schools and were socialized with the same core beliefs as the people in US government and high finance or those running the intelligence agencies and military-industrial complex. They wouldn't have the opportunity to work at these 'news' organizations if they had worldviews that were radically incompatible.

Likewise, I don't believe anyone is coercing you to push these ideas online. I believe I could drill down on every single source and claim, and your fundamental beliefs about this question would remain the same.

Proximity to and dependence upon established institutions exerts an inexorable gravity on worldview. It determines one's social circle and path to advancement in every area of life. Those inside the bubble feel themselves to be 'free thinkers', but one who strays outside the acceptable range of beliefs and ideas will immediately experience a sharp discontinuity in this 'freedom'.

The fact that Geneva was in UTC+2 (CEST) at the time the report was published. So what I said was correct.
