Jake Tapper and the Media Covering Up Joe Biden's Cognitive Decline? A Shocking Look at Complicity and Cowardice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Across two fiery monologues, a powerful narrative unfolds about alleged institutional betrayal and looming geopolitical dangers. The speaker lays bare what they claim is a widespread cover-up of President Joe Biden's mental decline—one that began during the 2020 campaign and was sustained by a complicit press corps and Democrat leadership. Scripted cabinet meetings, staged public appearances, and orchestrated media silence are all portrayed as evidence of a “shadow government” operating behind the scenes. Simultaneously, the conversation turns to national security, highlighting multiple alleged assassination attempts against Donald Trump tied to Iran and warning of the imminent danger posed by the regime's nuclear ambitions. This provocative exposé calls for transparency, accountability, and decisive action before it's too late.

This heated radio commentary criticizes prominent Democratic figures—including Rep. LaMonica McIver, Gov. Tim Walz, and former FBI Director James Comey—for allegedly justifying or normalizing violence in political discourse. The hosts argue that a dangerous double standard exists: violence from the political left is excused as protest, while similar actions from the right are harshly punished. The discussion spans topics from ICE agent confrontations and Tesla dealership attacks to an IVF clinic bombing and perceived media gaslighting, suggesting an alarming cultural shift toward legitimizing left-wing violence as acceptable political expression.

A long episode here! Today we are going to start by focusing in on Gaza, which is the most visible epicenter of violent imperial policy on the planet, and then expand into the Gulf States. Trump's recent trip to Riyadh and and the US effort to build the gulf into an AI bastion against china, get Saudi and Syria to Normalize with Israel in order to expand and complete the Abraham Accords, which it looks like it will happen, and the Iranian nuclear deal developments.

In this final podcast in the accountability series, I discuss the areas of accountability in which we find ourselves complicit in perpetuating bad behaviors. These complicit behaviors overlap with many of the reasons we don't hold people accountable. I also briefly review some important principles related to accountability. Finally, I provide a long list of action items to help increase your capacity to take accountability.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, hosts Nate Thurston and Chuck Thompson discuss President Trump's recent speech in Saudi Arabia, highlighting his comments on the Middle East's modernization and peace through negotiation. They also delve into a new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson that reveals concerns about Joe Biden's cognitive decline during his presidency, and discuss the implications of lifting sanctions on Syria. The episode also touches on the role of the media in shaping public perception and foreshadows an upcoming analysis on a new spending bill.

In this explosive segment, concerns are raised over Senator Thom Tillis' role in blocking prosecutor Ed Martin, potentially enabling a Democrat-led legal strategy to jail Trump allies. The discussion outlines a three-part plan to protect the deep state through control of the FBI, DOJ, and especially the D.C. District Court, with warnings of a looming constitutional crisis and political weaponization of the justice system.

The only thing we should not do is do nothing.

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter! In this episode, Joel Rosenberg is joined by Dr. Tommy Fretwell to unpack a crucial theological question: Has the church replaced Israel in God’s plan, or does God still have a unique purpose for the Jewish people? Together, they explore the roots and impact of supersessionism—also known as replacement theology—and discuss why some in the church believe God’s promises to Israel now belong to the church. From Tommy’s extensive research, they break down the different forms of this theology, its historical consequences, and why a biblical understanding of Israel is so important for believers today. Whether you’re a pastor, Bible student, or just curious about Israel’s place in God’s story, this episode is full of insight, scriptural clarity, and practical encouragement. Let’s dive into this essential conversation about Israel’s ongoing role in God’s redemptive plan.

By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. Prayer: Praying that more and more pastors, ministry leaders, and bible teachers hunger to know the word of God from Genesis through Revelation.Pray that as they study, they have a deeper and deeper passion for knowing the scriptures. Pray that more and more pastors develop a hunger, not just for the New Testament, as wonderful as the New Testament is, but really the biblical promises made, the covenants made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and through their people to the Messianic prophecies. Praying that that hunger for God's word and an understanding, a clearer understanding of God's heart for Israel and the Jewish peoplePray that pastors who have sadly embraced supersessionism and replacement theology will begin to realize that they're mistaken. Pray that God would also minister to Jews who've been harmed, who've been hurt, who've been stung by antisemitism, by Christians who or people who claim to be Christians, but many even who are generally saved, but they just don't get Israel.

As Senator JD Vance visits India to expand trade ties, overlooked headlines reveal a global shift away from China—welcoming Trump's tariff strategy. India supports the tariffs, imposes its own on Chinese steel, and eyes deeper U.S. trade partnerships. Meanwhile, China threatens vague retaliation, and deeper truths emerge about America's entanglement with the Chinese Communist Party. From COVID's engineered origins to elite financial complicity, this fiery analysis exposes how U.S. media, political figures, and globalist interests are aiding China's rise—while silencing those who dare to challenge the status quo.

ActionSA has accused the Democratic Alliance (DA) of complicity in the initial proposed controversial 2% VAT increase, despite the party's public denials. A parliamentary reply obtained by ActionSA reveals that DA MP and Deputy Minister of Finance, Ashor Sarupen allegedly played a significant role in drafting the original budget speech proposing the hike. ActionSA has criticized the GNU coalition partner for political opportunism and hypocrisy. Elvis Presslin spoke to Alan Beesley, ActionSA Member of Parliament

In a powerful exposé blending two explosive segments, the story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—dubbed “Saint Kilmar”—unfolds as a symbol of systemic failure, elite hypocrisy, and political gaslighting. An illegal immigrant tied to MS-13 and flagged on a transnational criminal watch list, Kilmar was stopped in Tennessee under suspicion of human trafficking, only to be released by order of the Biden-era FBI. Despite multiple court rulings identifying him as a mid-level gang member ("Chikayo") involved in violent criminal activity, Democrats and left-wing legal advocates continue to defend and attempt to repatriate him from El Salvador, where he is currently held. Meanwhile, top Democrat figures like Maine AG Aaron Frey and New York AG Letitia James push narratives denying biological concerns in women's sports and face accusations of their own—James with mortgage fraud and stolen valor allegations, Frey echoing state propaganda as he downplays safety issues. Across the board, the narrative reveals a growing rift between public sentiment and elite priorities, with polling showing even deep-blue California voters opposing trans athletes in women's sports and a majority of Americans now supporting mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

Dr. Lesley Gill joins us to discuss complicity with trump's fascism, and by that, she means universities, businesses, law firms, and all who are willing to cave to trump's threats. She contends that this is no caving or collaborating but complicity. She also talks about the government's kidnapping of students and legal residents for deportation. This is no time to be sitting, it is all hands on deck. We end with all you fascists gonna lose by Woody Guthrie.

With the International Court of Justice telling Israel to adhere to the Genocide Convention (a repudiation of their violence of historic significance), the question is raised, “what are the limits of formal organizations and is our silence in the face of violences complicity?” Alabama killed a death row inmate on Thursday by giving him a nitrogen gas mask instead of oxygen, a first in history. Over half the world's people (more than 4 billion) live in the more than 60 countries that will hold elections this year, the largest number and percentage in history. But elected governments from India to the U.S. either tolerate or exacerbate inequities, hatreds and violences against specific groups. Can we stop these things? And if so, what will it take? More than elections, for sure, but political participation is necessary.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sudan has brought the United Arab Emirates before the International Court of Justice, with accusations the government is complicit in the genocide of its people, by supporting the Rapid Support Forces militant group. While the UAE denies the accusation - and any violation of the Genocide Convention - both UN experts and United States lawmakers say Sudan's claims are credible.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping – Propaganda, Complicity, and Haymitch's StoryIn this episode of Superhero Ethics, hosts Matthew and Riki welcome special guest Danielle from WrittenInTheStarWars to dive deep into Suzanne Collins' newest novel in The Hunger Games franchise, Sunrise on the Reaping. The trio explores how this prequel reveals the true story behind Haymitch Abernathy's Games and challenges what readers thought they knew from the original trilogy.What makes Suzanne Collins' writing unique in YA literature?The hosts discuss Collins' masterful use of first-person narrative, with Danielle highlighting how Collins understands both the strengths and weaknesses of this perspective. Her intentional structuring of chapters and story arcs keeps readers engaged while delivering complex themes accessible to young adults without oversimplifying them. The conversation explores Collins' famous quote: “I don't write about adolescents. I write about war for adolescents.”How does propaganda shape the story in Panem?Sunrise on the Reaping reveals how the Capitol manipulates narratives, showing that what Katniss learned about Haymitch's Games was heavily edited propaganda. The book explores how different forms of propaganda work—from entertainment spectacles to subtle messaging that convinces citizens the Games are necessary for peace. Characters like Effie Trinket demonstrate how effective this indoctrination can be, while others show resistance to these manufactured stories.What do we learn about Haymitch as a character?The novel provides a stark contrast between the real Haymitch and the persona crafted by Capitol editors. Readers discover he was someone who refused to think of other tributes as enemies, consistently protected others, and maintained his humanity throughout the Games. The book also reveals his tragic journey toward alcoholism, showing how it began as medical treatment before becoming his coping mechanism for trauma and loss.Other topics discussed:How Maysilee Donner evolves from a "mean girl" to one of the book's most compelling charactersWhy Collins may have written this book now as a response to current political eventsThe difference between how Haymitch's relationship with Maysilee was portrayed in propaganda versus realityThe careful way Collins handles familiar characters from the original trilogy appearing in the prequelThe humanity of Career tributes and how they too are victims of the Capitol's systemThe theme of complicity and how everyone in Panem's system becomes part of maintaining its horrorsThe conversation concludes by reflecting on how Collins uses her storytelling to encourage readers to question propaganda in their own lives and recognize complicity in unjust systems. By revisiting Haymitch's Games, she reminds us that history is often written by the victors—but truth can be a powerful tool for rebellion.LinksFollow these links to earlier discussions on The Hunger Games with Danielle:The Hunger GamesThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

I think there is a responsibility we have as artists to relate to our artistry responsibly. And that has to do with sensing into our artistic sensibility as a medicine or a gift that we were given to come into this embodiment, to become the people that we are and share this medicine with the people in our community around us. And I think it's about asking the question, what is a medicine that I can bring? Not from a place of heroism, not from a place of saviorism, but from a place of genuinely, honestly inquiring, asking what is the medicine needed right now that my art can bring? And sitting with that question without needing to answer that question. So sitting with that question as a question that opens up more questions, as opposed to creating a product, that will be the answer for it.My conversation with Azul Carolina Duque, artist, researcher and member of the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures (GTDF) collective. This episode is 15-minute condensation of a much longer conversation recorded on September 16, 2024 in Victoria, British Columbia, the traditional territories of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples, specifically the Songhees and Esquimalt (Xʷsepsəm) Nations, and the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. The complete conversation includes a conversation about  a new book by Vanessa Andreotti, Outgrowing Modernity: Navigating Complexity, Complicity and Collapse With Accountability and Compassion, that I'll publish as a separate episode. This episode is focused on Azul's research Reactivating Exiled Capacities project. You'll also hear excerpts from a soundwalk Azul and I took in Beacon Hill Park, Victoria. Azul began with a powerful land acknowledgement.Suggested action pointsSense into your artistic sensibility as a medicine, or a gift, and share itSit with the question: what is the medicine needed right now that my art can bring?Explore simplicity and subtlety to bring depth to your artistic practiceHow to relate to the dream world with more reverence and humility and what does that have to teach us that can be important for these times of collapse?How is our relationship with sound, listening, our own voice and with vibration important to cultivate as we experience accelerating levels of grief, despair and pain?Episode notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIStory PreviewImagine a world where art heals not just the soul, but also the deep-seated wounds of colonialism embedded within our very beings. Artist and researcher Azul Carolina Duque guides us on a journey of sound, reflection, and decolonization, inviting us to consider how art can reactivate lost capacities and foster a more accountable future.Chapter Summary00:00 The Artist's Responsibility01:20 Introducing Azul Carolina Duque02:02 Land Acknowledgment and Connection04:25 Sitting with Reality05:06 Art and Culture in Crisis06:44 Understanding Colonialism as a Disease08:18 Reactivating Exiled Capacities10:35 The Inquiry of Reactivation12:09 Cultivating Service and HumilityFeatured QuotesThere is a responsibility we have as artists to relate to our artistry responsibly… to share this medicine with the people in our community around us.How can we expand our capacity to sit with the reality of things, to sit with… the good, the bad, the ugly, and the messed up, in order to respond from a place of more sobriety, maturity, more discernment and accountability?I was raised to be arrogant, and I still am in so many ways that I can't even see, and some others that I hopefully can see.Behind the StoryThis episode captures a segment of a conversation with Azul Carolina Duque, focusing on her Reactivating Exiled Capacities research. Azul's work with the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures collective explores how colonialism manifests at a molecular level, impacting our nervous systems and relationships. Through artistic exercises and somatic practices, she seeks to “neuro-decolonize” our bodies and reclaim capacities essential for navigating complex times.Please see the transcript of this episode for hyperlinks of cited publications and organizations.

What is actually in these orders, and how bad is it that one of leading litigation firms in the country gave in to Trump's demands without  a fight? And what will it mean for the already-overloaded immigration court system when they start going after immigration lawyers as they have also promised? Former NYC Biglaw associate (and current NYC public defender) Liz Skeen joins to help us to understand this uniquely un-American moment in American legal history.

The White House is defunding USAID, one of the largest distributors of foreign aid, and blaming it on wasteful spending—like a D.E.I musical in Ireland. But as Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn unpack, the real losers are Christian relief organizations like World Relief and Catholic Charities, which now face devastating budget cuts. Then, it's been over 20 years since the release of Blue Like Jazz, the bestselling book that made faith feel cool. Did it offer a helpful critique of evangelicalism, or was this the beginning of the rise of vibes-based Christianity? Also, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat joins Skye to discuss his new book, Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious. He explains why our increasingly secular culture is still drawn to spirituality and why rejecting religious institutions in favor of “DIY faith” may not be the answer.

How does one read the signs of the times? What does it mean to resist? How do we engage faithfully in the struggle? Dietrich Bonhoeffer has achieved iconic status as one who epitomizes what it means to struggle and resist tyranny and fascism and how one acts in faithful witness as a religious and political commitment. Bonhoeffer‘s witness and example is more relevant than ever. In this episode, I am joined by the preeminent historian of the Holocaust and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Dr. Victoria Barnett. Jeffrey Pugh and I got to talk to her multiple times throughout our work for the Rise of Bonhoeffer, and our last conversation was so rich that I couldn't help but share it here. Our discussion focuses on a crucial essay penned by Bonhoeffer in 1942; "After Ten Years" is a succinct and sober reflection and remains one of the best descriptions ever written about what happened to the German people under National Socialism. We also let Vicki demythologize some popular ahistorical attributions around Bonhoeffer's life. Victoria J. Barnett served from 2004-2014 as one of the general editors of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, the English translation series of Bonhoeffer's complete works. She has lectured and written extensively about the Holocaust, particularly about the role of the German churches. In 2004 she began directing the Programs on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum until her retirement. Her published works include Bystanders: Conscience and Complicity during the Holocaust (1999) and For the Soul of the People: Protestant Protest against Hitler (1992). This conversation centers around her translation and significant introduction and historical analysis of Bonhoeffer's "After Ten Years": Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Our Times.

Why has the term complicity become so ubiquitous in recent years? Are we all complicit in the system that we live under? What use, or uses, does the notion serve? These are questions that legal scholar Francine Banner poses. She makes the argument that the term bears different meanings, sometimes holding the powerful to account and other times looking for someone to blame, rather than focusing on systemic change. She considers the shifting modern use of complicity — shaped in part by problematic scholarship on the uncaring bystander — and sees parallels in how the legal system severely penalizes those for even peripheral involvement in crimes. (Encore presentation.) Resources: Francine Banner, Beyond Complicity: Why We Blame Each Other Instead of Systems UC Press, 2024 The post Interrogating Complicity appeared first on KPFA.

At first glance, the photo seemed innocent enough: a moment frozen in time from a glitzy 1999 birthday bash at a New York City hotspot. Sean “Diddy” Combs, one of the most recognizable faces in music, fashion, and entertainment, stood beside supermodel Kate Moss. His arm reached out, casually draping across her neck, and his other hand clutched what appeared to be a small, white pill. But now, in 2024, that same image has reignited a firestorm of controversy. A Cultural Flashpoint Public reaction to the photograph has been swift and scathing. The internet, with its penchant for unearthing forgotten relics, is abuzz. Why did no one notice this before? What else was lurking in plain sight? The timing of the photo's resurgence could not be more critical. Diddy, once an icon of success and reinvention, now sits behind bars, awaiting trial on charges that include sex trafficking, drugging, and the assault of multiple victims. The allegations against him span decades, painting a picture of a man who wielded his power and fame in horrifying ways. The 1999 image, unearthed at this moment, feels less like a coincidence and more like a damning piece of a much larger puzzle. Kate Moss and the Shadows of the Past Kate Moss, unaware of the object in Diddy's hand that night, was herself a tabloid fixture at the time. Fresh off a breakup with actor Johnny Depp, Moss's hard-partying lifestyle and associations with Hollywood's elite were constant fodder for the paparazzi. Decades later, Moss has distanced herself from that chaotic period, embracing a healthier and quieter life. Still, this resurfaced photo has raised uncomfortable questions about her proximity to Diddy during an era now cast in an ominous light. While there is no suggestion that Moss was involved in or even aware of Diddy's alleged actions, the image's viral spread has placed her back into a conversation she likely thought she'd left behind. The Dark Allegations Diddy, on the other hand, has far bigger concerns. His legal troubles began making headlines in September, with allegations that read like the darkest of Hollywood's horror stories. Victims, both men and women, have come forward with accounts of being drugged, assaulted, and then silenced through threats and blackmail. One lawsuit alleges that Diddy raped a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000, an accusation that also implicates rap legend Jay-Z. Both men have denied the claims, with Jay-Z's legal team denying the allegations. The internet has latched onto every detail of the case, dissecting not only the allegations but also the culture of impunity that may have allowed such behavior to go unchecked for so long. Legal experts describe the lawsuits against Diddy as part of a growing reckoning in the entertainment industry, where victims are finding the courage to speak out despite the power and resources of their alleged abusers. This cultural moment, driven by a new wave of accountability, has reframed how power dynamics are discussed in public spaces and placed heightened scrutiny on the actions of those in the spotlight. Complicity and Industry Silence One particularly chilling claim involves a male victim who alleged he awoke to find Diddy sexually assaulting him. Another victim recounted being drugged and assaulted by Diddy and associates at a party in the Hamptons. These stories, graphic and deeply disturbing, have turned public perception of the once-beloved mogul into something far darker. These accounts not only speak to individual acts of cruelty but also reveal an alleged system of control, manipulation, and exploitation that raises questions about who else might have been complicit in enabling such behavior. As more lawsuits are filed, Diddy's legal team has responded aggressively, denying the accusations and criticizing the credibility of the lawsuits. Meanwhile, the public's appetite for answers has only grown. Social media has become a battleground, with heated debates over the credibility of the claims and the broader implications for celebrity accountability. The polarized discourse underscores the complexities of separating personal fandom from ethical accountability, as some fans continue to defend Diddy while others demand justice for the alleged victims. The 1999 Photo as a Symbol The unearthed 1999 photo has only added fuel to the fire. Many see it as a symbolic moment, encapsulating the unchecked privilege and power of a man who, by all accounts, considered himself untouchable. Others view it as a reminder of the cultural norms of the time, when the behavior now described in lawsuits was too often ignored or excused. For some, the photo serves as a haunting artifact of a time when excess and recklessness were glamorized, and the actions of powerful men were rarely questioned. Kate Moss's representatives have declined to comment on the photo, and there is no indication that she will publicly address the matter. For her part, Moss has been open about her struggles in the past, including a stint in rehab in the late '80s and the fallout from the infamous “Cocaine Kate” scandal of 2005, when photos of her using drugs surfaced in tabloids. That controversy cost her several high-profile contracts but ultimately led to a resurgence in her career. In recent years, she has cultivated an image of stability and discretion—one she may be reluctant to disrupt by revisiting her connections to Diddy. An Industry Reckoning The legal and cultural fallout surrounding Diddy, however, shows no signs of slowing. The lawsuits continue to pile up, with new accusations surfacing seemingly every week. Each new claim paints a more damning picture of a man who allegedly used his wealth and influence to manipulate, harm, and silence his victims. Legal analysts predict a lengthy and highly publicized trial, one that could expose not just Diddy but also the systems and enablers that protected him. The entertainment industry's history of shielding powerful figures from accountability may soon come under intense scrutiny, as victims and advocates push for systemic change. In the midst of this unfolding scandal, the entertainment world has begun to reflect on its role in perpetuating cycles of abuse and silence. Questions about complicity are being asked not just of Diddy's immediate circle but of the broader culture that allowed such behavior to fester. Industry insiders have noted how power dynamics, fear of retaliation, and financial incentives create environments where abuse can thrive unchecked. The emerging narratives from Diddy's accusers have become a rallying cry for others to come forward, further illustrating how the ripple effects of a single case can challenge an entire system. Conclusion: The Reckoning Continues The reemergence of the 1999 photo feels like a haunting reminder of what went unspoken for so long. As the case against Diddy unfolds, it forces a reckoning—not just for those directly involved, but for anyone who turned a blind eye to the troubling dynamics of power and privilege in the entertainment industry. The photo is a snapshot, yes, but it is also a symbol: a small, potent reminder of a culture long overdue for change. It serves as a powerful metaphor for the hidden and often ignored truths that are finally coming to light. For many, the ongoing legal battle against Diddy represents not just an individual's quest for justice but a collective demand for accountability and transparency in an industry that has too often operated in the shadows.

Conclusion: The Reckoning Continues The reemergence of the 1999 photo feels like a haunting reminder of what went unspoken for so long. As the case against Diddy unfolds, it forces a reckoning—not just for those directly involved, but for anyone who turned a blind eye to the troubling dynamics of power and privilege in the entertainment industry. The photo is a snapshot, yes, but it is also a symbol: a small, potent reminder of a culture long overdue for change. It serves as a powerful metaphor for the hidden and often ignored truths that are finally coming to light. For many, the ongoing legal battle against Diddy represents not just an individual's quest for justice but a collective demand for accountability and transparency in an industry that has too often operated in the shadows.

This week, Lara and Michael sit down with Damia Taharraoui, a lawyer at the Paris bar, who recently filed a criminal complaint for complicity with genocide and incitement to genocide in Paris against an NGO whose members blocked the entrance of humanitarian aid into Gaza and posted about it on social media, calling on others to join them in their efforts. Damia explains the importance of holding perpetrators of atrocity crimes accountable, how open source investigation was facilitated in this case because of the individuals' brazenness, the difference between extraterritorial and universal jurisdiction, and the political context and public discourse in France when it comes to struggling for Palestinian rights. Lara contextualizes this case as part of a pattern of emboldened perpetrators of the Gaza Genocide gleefully posting their crimes on social media noting that the Hind Rajab Foundation recently filed a submission before the ICC with evidence connecting 1000 Israeli soldiers to crimes in Gaza.

Crenshaw to discuss his latest research into Americans' views on the most controversial issues, including abortion, immigration, the defund the police movement, and antisemitism. The conclusion? It turns out Americans are a lot less divided than you might think. Dr. Rose identifies the root causes of this false polarization and calls attention to a far greater concern for the future of the country: the overwhelming majority of Americans who believe society is inherently unfair to them.
