Impressions from "The McVeigh Tapes" on Rachel Maddow

The consequences of being the pawn and subject of fate, rather than the director and author of fate: The medium controls the message.

The unmentioned aspect of the 'Tapes': McVeigh is the mercenary product of the military "warrior killing ethos". He was the extrapolated product of justified dehumanization for a 'greater authority'. His vileness was MORE than a personal foible. It was a fabrication of his cultural experience of over-indulged obsessiveness given an impersonal, secular training and a hyperbolic,temporal context.

“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it”

Winston Churchill quotes (British Orator, Author and Prime Minister during World War II. 1874-1965)

Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is a (bastard) orphan.
John F. Kennedy
