How's it going everybody dato doi here with another dragon ball fighters video and this time around we got Vegeta We also have base Goku and Android 17 not too important The main focus is going to be around Vegeta and just how good this man is as a character and both an assist So damn we got orange Vegeta and purple Goku as you can tell sometimes when I'm Yo Halloween Broly looks so good.  Oh armor That's a big boy right there. That's a big boy. That's a big boy All right backed into a corner by the the biggest guy and dragon ball fighters We're here we go. These are the examples. I was hoping to whoa who beer is assist.  Oh, I like that. You can't superdash through this so All right, can I like come forward can I step into the light? See that was just confused. What are you doing my man? All right, watch this first off turn around jumper Then we're gonna call him Vegeta.  Oh, he's rocking all Halloween colors. Nice nice and festive All right, and I guess we'll go ahead and call beer is back in. Oh The assistant come out overhead block it. Oh That was sick. Okay. I thought it was gonna touch me. So I was gonna reflect But the dragon rush was faster than the orb. I Do feel bad for that guy because the only reason I was able to do that is because oh No down heavy help. Yeah, I saw that. I felt that one coming to my bones. He's Because that you have to add Z's to everything That's gonna be dead because Broly's got that triple S damage I'm Vegeta's gonna hit the field not ideal for me.  I'd rather have 17. Oh How much do I got to reflect to show you I'm serious about this? He does eventually land the hit all right we in there oh We don't get it to connect unfortunately. Oh But we do hit that and that's an easy KO for Vegeta to pick up Oh get the knee in there too just for a little all right So the reason we call Vegeta and it's not only for that kill, but also we just need to gain some health back Beerus players on the date on the rise since Sonic Fox picked them up to do a little a Experimenting definitely gained a lot of shine and a lot of people's eyes here But unfortunately not me watch this.  It's just time to play some Vegeta neutral Just like mama cooked it up in the kitchen. See he knows he knows the ingredients his mom was a cook as well There you go. Just you got a rinse and repeat rinse and repeat nothing too fancy. Oh Beautiful me after the down heavy, but I got one too. All right, we're just gonna he X me out of there Yep, he's very he wants to get that super dash off since you know, he has sparking now.  So unfortunately our sparking was wasted level two only But we still have a lot more health. So it's not too. Oh, huh? We lost our sparking he did too. Oh the leap.   Sometimes you're not in control unless you're out of control I believe those words are biblical. I'm not going to say anything. You know, it's been a while But I believe it was once a wise man that told me that.  Oh My god, that down move has been catching me since the day I was born by the way When I was a baby, I was getting caught by that we Look at Broly's control by the way, I don't know if you see that's easy punish. That's a punish. Oh nice vanish We got a switch out there and Then easy switch back into Broly and if you're playing Broly you're getting hit on the way up No, please Oh, you didn't go for the oh grab help mama We're getting flung around like crazy.  I've been getting caught by that since I was born You're really gonna have to show me something new Once again, we use this to extend our combos and I dropped it. That's fine He's worked out. All right I were going in Wow, he actually uses the reversal It's not a good one. So oh We're missing so many attacks and down heavy. There it goes hitting me with the Beerus backflip, you know Oh, and just the normal heavy.  I thought I could vanish It appears I was wrong so we're going flying into the mountainous region over here nothing too big nothing too big All right No, no, no Vegeta assist makes it so that if you super dash on onto block You eating one hell of a punish. Oh I didn't get that thing off. All right, just beer stuff and once again I fall for I'm so afraid of the the pressure after orbs that I just want to reflect It's in the DN and once again the tech back. That's definitely a setup and I switch What is with my brain when I get hit by that? I feel the need to switch Whatever it is. I'm definitely not this guy's first prey. He's he's seen this before All right, but you know we got to step up our IQ and Vegeta's on the field My IQ is through the roof right now You think I'm not man enough to just jump into it and block You got me confused for some other guy There we go a little bit of spacing on it.  Don't even think about I Tried in putting everything, but I was too early on in the forward dash animation to get out of that What is that one one? I'm gonna go ahead and say that's one one because I think it is. All right, so we're hopping back into another game here One one and the fun has just begun All right, Broly, let's see what you got It's been stomping on me since the day I was born. Oh, you can't do that Oh got 17s light low is pretty stubby. So we're down second. Oh, no that's a buttons That was that was down tech roll I'm getting messed up here extension with Vegeta cyst grabbed out of the air vanish Well, well, well We got us a Broly All right, but that was just me being random. So let's go All right, at least I blocked the right way that time only to Only to continue my blocking ways armor He's immune. He's actually a monster The armor is actually insane. It's it's it's forcing my hand How does he still have room to back dash? All right, we jump that because we're not How did he know I'm trying to get the oh, we got him. All right, we and we and I got he's immune. I Couldn't jump at that time. I would like to leave. Oh god. This Broly is oppressive This Broly is oppressive and impressive There we go. Finally just down heavy it. It ain't even that hard There we go. Nice key blast Just requires a bit more thought you can't run into Broly without thinking like I have Gotta think it a couple steps ahead Not too many just just one or two. Uh, okay. We got to give Goku a chance to heal That's unfortunate for this guy, I won't lie I won't lie and say I meant for that to happen But oh the vanish date came out so slow. I saw him in that two medium animation All right, I got crossed out there Goku why are you in a hurry to get your Why did Goku be like, oh man, I just I just really want to do that All right, so luckily the beam does connect there. Yeah, I snagged this man All right, we're flipping Kyo flip You gotta respect the kyo Ken.  Oh Yes, that is a feels-good move. Oh Base Goku you are a treasure that this world does not understand watch this reheed There are times in a young man's life when he makes mistakes This is one of those times for me Wow the burst damage Holy moly that took a chunk All right. Well now we're in a bad way now. We're in a bad way because my reading skills are subpar No mama, please don't hit me with the down heavy All right. Well, come on keep healing If there was ever a time I need to tech it was right there. He'll know we're dead. We're dead. We're dead We're dead. We're looking pretty dead drop it drop it drop it drop it drop it drop it drop But I learned, you know, I've learned something interesting here It's not it's not the the matches you lose It's the match as you win and I haven't won much so let's go Let's go ahead and we're gonna take it slow Slow like really slow I super dashed in I was trying to trick you guys into thinking I was gonna play it slow slow was I not blocking there I was doing nothing but blocking that was supposed to be a down heavy all right there we go now we're making moves now we're making those money moves I've been

that ain't a real combo I ain't trying to see it oh and that's a big shame that we got caught by that Vegeta assist is going down unless he drops it he doesn't Goku Goku did heal up a considerable amount I think I do want him even more in the back though I kind of do and it's unfortunate that that never seems to work for me we do tech that my whole body had a react oh no he confirms off of that and he sees the back dash into the super dash which I do too much all right remember what I said about please please dato stop doing what you're doing please dato oh why why am I getting opened up by

Dear students, in this topic, we shall discuss the Midgard which comprises of the small intestine. Small intestine is the major site for the chemical digestion and absorption of the digested food products. In intestine, digestion takes place in alkaline medium in comparison to the acidic medium present in the stomach. Because food has to enter from the stomach, which is acidic and when it enters the small intestine, alkaline medium is digested. The small intestine is a long portion of the elemental canal. It is divided into three distinct parts. First is called the duodenum. Second is the jijunum and third part is the ileum. Duodenum is the first shorter section of small intestine. In humans, it is about 25 centimeters long. The duodenum is to receive food from the stomach through the pyloric sphincter. This duodenum also secretes mucus and enzymes. In addition, it receives bile salts from gallbladder and pancreatic juice from the pancreas. There are bile salts from gallbladder which assist in the emulsification of fats. Pancreatic juice contains a lot of enzymes which aid in the digestion of all major components of food. The jijunum comes from the duodenum. The jijunum is a longer part of the small intestine. In humans, the length of the jijunum is about 2.5 meters. It secretes many enzymes for digestion. It is also involved in the absorption of some products of digestion. The ileum is the longest part of small intestine which is about 3.5 meters long in humans. It primarily absorbs nutrients which are digested in the duodenum and jijunum part. It also secretes some enzymes to complete the process of digestion. In this way, digestion is completed in the ileum. In addition to that, the absorption of nutrients is also completed in the ileum. Dear students, the length of human small intestine is about 6 meters. The length of small intestine varies in different animals. Overall, the carnivores of small intestine are smaller compared to herbivores and are comparatively simpler. Whereas herbivores of small intestine are usually longer and more complex. The shorter lengths of carnivores of small intestine show that carnivores are different. So, digestion of meat takes less time compared to the digestion of vegetation. A classic example of this difference in the lengths of small intestine of carnivores and herbivores is seen in frog. The large length of frog is carnivorous. The length of small intestine is comparatively longer as compared to adult frog which is carnivore. Frog's tadpole is herbivore and its length of small intestine is more. Compared to that, the length of carnivorous adult frog's small intestine is less. Dear students, small intestine also contains large number of bacteria, protozoans and fungi which contribute enzymatically to digestion. These symbiotic microorganisms in the small intestine also synthesize many essential vitamins.


Hello it's Missy! Thank you for watching! Today's video is this half-up, full waterfall braid. This is kind of a little cheat method. I think it's a lot easier than the traditional way. If you're new make sure to subscribe, click that bell, then you'll never miss any future videos and let's get started! With my hair parted on the right side I'm going to divide out a small one and a half inch section of hair a couple inches back from the hairline. I'm going to braid this into a regular three-strand braid. I'm dividing the section into three equal pieces and crossing the side strands over the middle strand, alternating between both the left and the right side strands. I'm going to continue that pattern working my way down to the ends of the section or at least until the braid gets too small to braid. Now I'm going to go back to the top of the braid and create a gap in one side of the braid placing my thumb and pointer finger through the gap. Then I'm going to divide off a small section of hair from my hairline and I'm going to grip this between the two fingers that are coming through the braid. I'm going to pull this section of hair through the gap so it's going through the braid and out the other side. Then I'm just going to clip it out of the way. Now I'm going to move down one section of the braid and create another gap. Sliding my pointer finger and thumb into the gap I'm going to divide off a new slice of hair. I'm going to pull the section of hair through the gap in the braid so it's coming out the other side of the braid again. Then I'm going to clip the piece of hair out of the way.  Each piece will go through the braid in a spot lower than the previous section so the pieces being pulled through will work their way down the sides of my hairline towards my ear and each piece will go through a new section of the braid working down towards the ends of the braid. So I'm creating a gap in a section of the braid just down from the previous section and I'm going to place my thumb and pointer finger into the gap. Then I'm going to divide off a new slice of hair from in front of the braid. Crip it between these two fingers and pull it through the braid so it's coming out the other side. Then I'm just going to clip it out of the way. Now I'm going to move down one section of the braid and create another gap.  I'm going to pull the section of hair through the gap in the braid so it's coming out the other side of the braid again. Then I'm going to clip the piece of hair out of the way. Once I've brought in all of the pieces that I want to from my hairline I'm going to take the braid and tuck it behind my left ear. Then I'm going to pin it in place using a couple bobby pins and once it's all pinned up I can remove the bobby pins from the end of the braid and unravel it up to where it's pinned. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed today's video. I think this is such a really fun cool hairstyle. Let me know what you think down in the comments.

Okay lady what is this? Hey I'm using Microsoft Lobe which is an application running on this computer connected up to this webcam and I'm using that to train different baked goods. So for example this is a cross bond and then I can move the bagel underneath the camera. I've already trained these up I've taken a lot of images and so I can do basic machine learning vision recognition of different objects from cross-bounds. Okay so this is the computer and we trained it. We trained it on baked goods. That's right. And then I took the TensorFlow Lite file. I exported the TensorFlow Lite file from that computer and I saved it onto this Raspberry Pi with a braincraft hat and then it's connected to a Raspberry Pi camera and it's also detecting items like this bagel or this cross-bond. It's a really easy way to train machine learning models for TensorFlow Lite vision recognition something that's normally really annoying to do. You are very easy on the computer and then you can deploy it to the edge on your Raspberry Pi with your braincraft hat.


Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing how to style white jeans this summer and pull off that enviable effortless style. Now let me start this look book by saying finding the perfect pair of white jeans or trousers in the first place is never easy. So much so that I'd given the trend a wide berth for about the last 10 years. So in terms of the actual white jeans or trousers that look like jeans, I've added a selection of my favorites I found recently, both from the high street, the designers and the independents. So you can have a look at those in the description box below at the end of this video. So in this look book I'll be sharing my newfound love of white jeans and how to style them in a very elegant and effortless chic kind of fashion. If you're not already I would be very grateful if at the end of this video you could follow the link in the description box below to subscribe to my YouTube channel and also follow me over on Instagram too. That's honestly the best way that you can help support creators that you enjoy watching on YouTube and I for one am always very appreciative. Now when we think about how to style white jeans, workwear looks might not seem immediately obvious but I personally love that look and think they can absolutely work for smarter occasions. So to start this look book I've styled mine with a silk sleeveless blouse in this lovely shimmery camel tone. I don't think you need to opt for silk but do be mindful of the fabric content you do buy. Then I layered my camel blazer over the top and I think the contrast of those two textures and tones works beautifully together. Elevated with my mid-heels but still opting for that neutral tone and my lovely numero set structured handbag to finish. It's definitely taking that effortless style box for me while at the same time feeling polished enough to wear to meetings. There are a few details aimed at keeping me cool in the heat when in an office but it doesn't mean you have to compromise on the style stakes which hopefully this outfit shows. Since lockdown ended in the UK there's been an awful lot of outside gatherings going on which on the one side is absolutely lovely you can catch up with all your friends but on the flip side of that I personally hate the cold and once the sun goes down it can be really really freezing. Thankfully white jeans or trousers for that matter don't have to just be kept for summer days which hopefully I'm proving in this look book. They can absolutely work in winter or what feels like a winter's evening too. It just means a little more tweaking with the styling to get the balance right. So in this look book you can see I decided to opt for texture to give me that upgraded polish the look needs. Adding my coffee brown jumper to keep me warmer paired with a hopeful pair of sandals on my feet. Obviously you can switch those out for flats or heels depending on the weather. Though I do like this coffee tone with chalk accessories I also really like it with black. It makes the overall look feel sharper so I added my classic numero un and belt to tie in with that shade. Either way the look feels laid back but sophisticated and ultimately still very much in keeping with my own personal style just a bit more wrapped up for an evening set outside. Now just quickly before we move on I'm just going to diversify slightly onto eyebrow gait. For those of you that don't know I was on a bit of a mission to try and grow my eyebrow hair. So the other day on Instagram I heard about something called brow lamination which is essentially a liquid that they put on your eyebrows that makes them all stand on end. They can either add a tint as well so they look a little bit darker and the nature of being brushed up I'm not describing this very well but the nature of being brushed up makes them look a bit thicker. So I went to a local salon yesterday to have the brow lamination and the tint put onto my eyebrows. I came home and both David and Albert were in the dining room and basically they just went themselves laughing at me. The mistake I made was having the tint as well and that kind of dipped it over the edge into looking very unnatural and ridiculous. There will be some skincare experts and and makeup artists just going what are you doing putting nail varnish remover on your face but I was so desperate to get rid of the tint that I was happy to put anything on there and to be fair it did sting quite a bit so I wouldn't recommend it in the slightest but it did manage to get rid of some of the colour. So I think what I'm left with now is probably a tiny bit of the tint and the brow lamination just on this section because I think by putting any kind of liquid on here I've kind of taken away the brow lamination as well. Anyway that is the latest update from eyebrowgate.  So don't forget to let me know in the comments section below your favourite outfit that I featured today it's always really lovely to hear everyone's different opinions. Let's look at the opposite now how to style your white jeans or trousers when it's hot outside. The outfit I'm wearing today actually so in this look you can see I've gone for a summery ever so slightly bohemian vibe styling my white jeans with a pretty lace trim blouse that I got a few months ago from Reese. This outfit reminds me of a typical Californian style. So the outfit is really chilled it's pretty but those subtle details help it to feel polished when you're out and about in the heat. I tend to use my straw bag all the way through summer I love the natural element it brings into outfit ideas and it reminds me of the beach even when I can't be there. I've opted for sandals again and a belt to tie in nicely but I think gold sandals would work equally well with this look too. How to style white jeans but for a smarter evening event I would go for something a little bit like this. Black and white together always works really nicely and those heels visually give the look that full stop the outfit needs. This top is actually a few years old now David bought it from Prada as a surprise and a very much appreciated present for me. No matter how hot it is I always like to have something over my shoulders to arrive in be it a pashmina a coat or as you can see now with this look a blazer.  Again like the top this is an old one I got from Massimo Dutti made from 100% linen and it's lasted really well and I've also added a few recent favorites that I found across the high street in the discussion box as well. If you're a fan of color but you still want to rock the white jeans style this summer think about adding a pop of yellow maybe mint or even red. Bright pink would be the obvious if you're wanting to work one of the big fashion trends into the mix but personally and for this lookbook I love tones more on the pastel end of the scale. I've opted for a lovely shade of mint. The pastel mint feels fresh effortless and elegant and the very light nature of the fabric is perfect for the heat. Staying with that light and airy theme I opted for gold sandals on my feet and finishing with my small wrist handbag. That just brings in another sprinkle of gold which I love. A really simple way to dress this outfit up for the evening would be to add some gold heels if you have them or any pastel tone. I would just probably steer clear of black heels with an outfit like this as I think it would be a little bit too harsh. When it comes to how to style white jeans I think what I've realized is they're incredibly versatile which hopefully I'm showing you in this lookbook. One of my favourite ways to wear them for everyday wear would be something like this. It's smart but casual. I don't feel like I've tried too hard which in turn gives the outfit a certain nonchalant effortless feel to it. The organic shirt keeps me cool in the heat but the stiffness of the cotton makes the outfit feel polished and I'm keeping that casual everyday vibe running through with my dark brown sandals on my feet. Of course it's easy to dress this look up or down as it's such a classic look but the reality of my lifestyle sees me wear it like this the most. If the weather's pretty changeable where you are you could easily drape a tonal jumper or cardigan over your shoulders to finish this look as well and when I'm whizzing around doing chores I probably use my lovely tote handbag or heading out to meet friends a shoulder bag or cross body bag for something a little bit more delicate. Another way to style white jeans in summer of course is to go tonal. It's probably the most classic way to style white jeans but as I often say is classic for a reason. You could go very minimal with a favourite simple white t-shirt. In this look book I've just added a few black accessories to break it up a little with a belt, flat and very comfy sandals and my handbag. If you suddenly needed to smarten this look an easy trick would be to just layer a blazer over the top. I opted for my looser fitting Eveline one to tie in nicely with the whole relaxed vibe of this outfit but of course it does have that instant polishing effect too. Effortless style is all about never looking like you've tried too hard even if you have and it's often these very classic pieces I reach for particularly when I'm wanting to recreate that effortless chic look. Another classic now but it looks so good styled with white jeans I just couldn't leave it out my old faithful Breton Stripe top. The decidedly Parisian effortless style top that never fails to make the perfect outfit in summer and autumn and winter and spring for that matter. I've actually found this red and white stripe version to be just as versatile as my blue and white one particularly when blended with a touch of camel. I generally have a palette of neutrals in my capsule wardrobe so to be able to introduce a primary colour is quite refreshing actually and surprisingly wearable when mixed and matched with the other pieces I already have. Any striped top you may have in your own wardrobe would create the same effect just again think about the fabric content of that Breton top. Just have a think if you want to go more fitted and smarter or looser and a more relaxed vibe. All of which I believe work so it's just down to personal taste really. Another out-out outfit idea now but this time not having to suffer the cold. I bought this blouse last season from Cezanne and its cost-per-wear has got to be next to nothing now. I have worn it so much. It's not particularly on trend so the florals and pastel tones do work nicely but I just love that it's a pretty statement blouse and it's very me in that laid-back fashion I love. Cezanne actually have the best selection of blouses throughout the year and they're often the pieces that get the most wear in my wardrobe so I've added a few current favourites for you to look out in the description box below. So I've styled this blouse very simply with my white jeans, favourite gold heels and a sprinkle of gold with my handbag from D'Amellier London. I wanted to include this out for idea because it was what I threw on at the end of filming this video to go off and do the school run. So there actually wasn't a lot of thought that went into it but I do like the simplicity of the look. So as you can see it's a very easy everyday effortless style of just pairing my white jeans with a cotton knitted jumper. With hindsight I think this look would have been better paired with my dark brown sandals but I was opting for comfort running out the door. I like the camo and tan details with my bag and belt and just tying in that tone very subtly with my tortoise shell sunglasses. But obviously it's a very simple throw-on kind of look and I'm thinking it will be really easy to recreate. I really hope I've explained well how to style white jeans this summer and it's given you lots of out for ideas and inspiration of outfits you can recreate from your own capsule wardrobe. As I mentioned I would love to hear from you all in the comments section below. Do let me know your favourite out for ideas that I've featured today and if you're not already subscribed I would be very grateful if you'd like to do so. Don't forget you can also find my daily out for ideas and inspiration over on Instagram. I've added a link in the description box below and I will be back next Sunday with lots more fashion advice and out for ideas. Have a great week everyone and hopefully I will see you then.


Asanj is the greatest journalist of all time. Notes from the edge of the narrative matrix. It's funny how former Israeli Prime Minister Ahud Barak just deleted a tweet admitting that Israel has nuclear weapons, at the same time the Washington Post reports that U.S. allies have a don't talk about Nord Stream policy because of the answers it would turn up. There are many open secrets that everyone knows but isn't allowed to acknowledge publicly. The world's most famous journalist was just deprived of a visit from Reporters Without Borders because the British prison he's being kept in received intelligence that they are journalists. And yet all we ever hear about is how Russia and China mistreat journalists. Julian Asanj is the world's greatest and most famous journalist, and he's in prison solely for the crime of doing good journalism, but sure, let's all spend our time shaking our fists at far away authoritarian regimes for imprisoning journalists. Asanj is not only the world's greatest living journalist, he is the greatest journalist who has ever lived. There's really no valid argument against this. Seriously, name me a superior journalist. You can't. Asanj began his journalism career by revolutionizing source protection for the digital age then proceeded to break some of the biggest stories of the century. There's no one who can hold a candle to him, living or dead. The fact that he is now in prison for doing great journalism tells you everything you need to know about our society. And now he's in a maximum security prison solely and exclusively because he was better at doing the best kind of journalism than anyone else. That is the kind of civilization you live in. The kind that imprisons the best journalist of all time for doing journalism. You'll never convince me, it's an organic phenomenon, that the population always splits itself into two equal oppositional political factions which always leaves them in a deadlock unable to get anything done, and it always deadlocks in a way that benefits the rich and powerful.  Not necessarily the nastiest or the most aggressive, but definitely the dumbest. They'll believe pretty much anything said by anyone, no matter how ridiculous, as long as it's critical of China. The instant they see literally any negative claim about China from literally anyone, all their critical faculties go right out the window and they turn into a bunch of foam-brained imbeciles. Probably the most well-known, out of innumerable possible examples was when Jordan Peterson shared a BDSM milking video because some disinformation account had implied that it documents abuses by the Chinese government. This dynamic seems to have its roots in the generations-long portrayal of the Chinese as a mysterious, inscrutable race whose culture is nothing like ours. That's the only explanation I can think of for why Westerners ascribe motives and agendas to their government that make no sense at all.   Without that view you're lost. The other day someone I was arguing with online just casually referred to the Chinese as insect-like, comparing them to an ant's nest. Once you've dehumanized an entire nation like that, you've sedated all your critical thinking abilities into a coma. You've crippled your mind.  And it's a tweet with an interview on Fox News of Gordon Chang, the propagandist, saying, China is preparing to kill Americans and we have to prepare to defend ourselves. Talking about Taiwan.  China is preparing to kill Americans and we have to prepare to defend ourselves. You mean China is preparing to defend itself from completely undisguised military encirclement and potential U.S. intervention in an inter-Chinese conflict? A conflict on the other side of the planet from the United States? A conflict which you, Gordon Chang, would not be fighting in?  The 2016 U.S. presidential election changed everything. Not because Trump himself changed things significantly, he didn't. But because the Western media formed a consensus at that point that it's their solemn duty to help the U.S. government win an information war against Russia. A consensus quickly formed that it was wrong for the media to report on the 2016 WikiLeaks releases, which were alleged to have come from Russian hackers, though still not proven to since this day. In that decision the last rays of real journalism in the mainstream media were quashed. Once all mainstream journalists accepted that it's their job not to report true facts about the powerful, but to advance the information interests of their government and or preferred political party, it was over. The last glimmer of life in a truth-based society was snuffed out. We've seen this on full display since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with journalists uncritically reporting unevidenced government claims, ignoring important questions like the Ukrainian death toll, even accepting the U.S. government's admission that it's using them to circulate lies in an information war. It could have gone the opposite way. The media could have seized on the corruption exposed in the WikiLeaks documents to spark an invigorated charge to investigate U.S. government malfeasance. Instead, it was used to hide, forgive, and facilitate U.S. government malfeasance.
