    Haspel was known to be a regulator that mitigated / minimized wig the least degree of any non customary resolve for those conceding to terroristic acts and would work against the advisory of United State's allied countries top escalate the torture. She was a pragmatic minimalist who was NOT lacking discretion. The Clandestinely (spies) have roles to keep the game stay on the "fairway", they are not prigrammed to break things and they advise with "hearts and minds" first as the first way to seek resolve and avert international friction. Haspel was /remains tough, intellectual and very highly regarded in the areas of rhe real players.

    this was unexpectedly surprising despite all the stuff thats left out or obfuscated. most people wont mention the uk or europe at all when discussing the founding. but no one really gets into the nitty gritty about the entirety of the relationships and thoughts of the people who had the power to do those things and make those decisions. they were all eugenicists. that statement alone pretty much is enough to really understand the functional purpose of the cia and to be painfully yet totally honest, the original purpose of the entire government of this eurocentric america too, as all the people with any measurable power were also staunchly eugenicist. its not dificult to understand their motives when they clearly state them like that, dehumanizing everyone not born into wealth and in particular eurocentric wealth, other peoples wealth has never been accepted as legitimately theirs by eurocentric culture. not even its own laborers with which there are no civilizations to begin with. the most brutally honest and accurate assessment of the cia (and in turn, the entire american government that it controls) is that its a covert operation that exists solely to protect and expand the wealth and power of european oligarchs and monarchs. you can not be more honest and accurate and concise about it than that. fewest / least complicated words with the most possible and necessary information lol. its just that people are coerced into not allowing themselves to see things for what they are because reward only comes to those who contribute to their goals atm, since eurocentric culture is the global hegemon and has been for a thousand years at least.

    Being has a tendency to 'return' to clusters
    ='the nature of solidarity' -a desire for empathy -(Wave)-(yin)
    and also,
    Being has a tendency to 'exist' as individuals
    ='the nature of self-expension' -a desire for breed-(Particle)-(Yang)
    Likewise, humans have two elements.
    We must realize that we all have both left and right elements
    =Solidarity and Self reliance
    No one has only one element.
    so 'Sum' derived from 'two poles' , (thesis, antithesis, synthesis)
    To develop intellect and ethics by harmonizing the two,
    It is good to realize it and balance it properly
    But A few people polarized the crowd(political partisanship)
    without balancing themselves.
    And They stole only the sum, only the synthesis from the triangle composition.
    Now We all have to get out of this deceptive situation.
    This is not the time for us to hate each other.
    We have to track down those who have been manipulating us.
