The word of 2017:
GASLIGHTING
Gaslighting is a form of manipulation through persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying in an attempt to destabilize and delegitimize a target. Its intent is to sow seeds of doubt in the targets, hoping to make them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim. The term owes its origin to Gas Light, a 1938 play and 1944 film, and has been used in clinical and research literature. (Wikipedia)

There is no such thing as a US interest first. It is the Human Global interest first.
If it is a US interest but harmful globally, then on the long run, it is not US interest. The US does not live on a separate planet. When are we going to learn this?
Film Review: Fire at Sea
Each shot can stand alone as a work of photographic art. It is a documentary film from a third person omnicious point of view.
The sea here plays a big part of the theme. It is the canvas. It is the life and death. It is the silence. It is the observer and the actor.
There is no more real encounter of the Mediterranean refugee crisis of our time better and more vivid than this film.
True work of Art depicting the true scary face of our vulnerabilities and decaying innocence of our humanity.
Cicely … the calming sea … the apathetic waves … the simplicity of the island inhabitants, the innocence of childhood … the serenity of boredom … the beauty of Italian traditional music … the peace of family … contrasted with what these waves brings of human suffering ashore.
Must see. Must present. Must act to end suffering of our species.

I don’t believe in evil. We are just a bad species.

Watch what you say in front or to your children.
More than 1 out of 10 adults report being emotionally abused as a child.
″Emotional abuse is any kind of abuse that is emotional rather than physical in nature. It can include anything from verbal abuse and constant criticism to more subtle tactics, such as intimidation, manipulation, and refusal to ever be pleased. Emotional abuse can take many forms. Three general patterns of abusive behavior include aggressing, denying, and minimizing”
