Clapper has turned and telling the FBI everything. I don't have that first hand, but this video where he is saving himself says it all. He was first through the door to talk.
He still needs to be put in jail. Even for 1/2 the normal sentence.

You could tell by his body language throughout that he was the weakest one.


"We've been hit." No, this was self-inflicted. Better find your life jackets.
 
couple of questions?
1. Who is videoing the engagement?
2. What type of platform employed the weapon?
3. What was the weapon?
4. What type of system was used to find, fix, track, and target the UOP
5. Is the engagement over water?
MQ-9 reaper and it was a hellfire missile is what was in the post I tried to make. I believe it was over the water but not totally sure.
 

No, the Maoist government in Nepal did not come to power through non-violence. The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal (Prachanda), rose to prominence through a decade-long armed insurgency known as the "People's War" from 1996 to 2006, which involved widespread guerrilla warfare, attacks on government forces, and significant violence that resulted in over 17,000 deaths. This civil war was explicitly launched on February 13, 1996, with coordinated attacks on police posts in multiple districts, aiming to overthrow the monarchy and establish a communist republic.

The path to formal power, however, involved a transition from violence to electoral politics. In 2005–2006, the Maoists formed a 12-point alliance with mainstream political parties, including the Nepali Congress and Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), to oppose King Gyanendra's direct rule. This culminated in the 2006 People's Movement (Jana Andolan II), a mass non-violent pro-democracy uprising involving strikes, protests, and demonstrations that forced the king to reinstate parliament and relinquish absolute power. The Maoists agreed to a Comprehensive Peace Accord in November 2006, laying down arms, confining their People's Liberation Army to cantonments, and committing to democratic processes.

In the April 10, 2008, Constituent Assembly elections—the first post-war vote—the Maoists won a plurality with 220 of 601 seats (about 38% of the popular vote), becoming the largest party despite reports of some pre-election intimidation and irregularities. This electoral victory, observed as credible by international monitors, enabled them to lead the assembly in abolishing the 240-year-old monarchy on May 28, 2008, declaring Nepal a federal democratic republic. Prachanda was sworn in as the first prime minister of the republic in August 2008.

While the final ascent to governance was through democratic elections and the 2006 movement was largely peaceful, the Maoists' foundational strategy and leverage stemmed directly from their violent insurgency, which weakened the monarchy and military, created political space for the uprising, and built grassroots support in rural areas. The party itself described the shift as changing the "form of struggle" rather than ending the revolution. Thus, their rise cannot be characterized as purely non-violent.
