The American way of life, or simply the American way, is the unique lifestyle, real or imagined, of the people living in the United States of America. It refers to a nationalist ethos that purports to adhere to principles of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." At the center of the American way is the American Dream, the idea that upward mobility is achievable by any American through hard work. This concept is intertwined with the concept of American exceptionalism, the notion that the American way is only possible in the U.S. because of the unique culture of the nation.
This way of life, which developed from the 17th century onward, is an example of a behavioral modality, a set of behavioral norms which develops in a group.
Author William Herberg offers the following definition:
As one commentator notes, "The first half of Herberg's statement still holds true nearly half a century after he first formulated it", even though "Herberg's latter claims have been severely if not completely undermined... materialism no longer needs to be justified in high-sounding terms".

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a civilian foreign intelligence service of the U.S. Government, tasked with gathering, processing and analyzing national security information from around the world, primarily through the use of human intelligence (HUMINT). As one of the principal members of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), the CIA reports to the Director of National Intelligence and is primarily focused on providing intelligence for the President and his Cabinet.
Unlike the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which is a domestic security service, CIA has no law enforcement function and is mainly focused on overseas intelligence gathering, with only limited domestic collection. Though it is not the only U.S. government agency specializing in HUMINT, CIA serves as the national manager for coordination and deconfliction of HUMINT activities across the entire intelligence community. Moreover, CIA is the only agency authorized by law to carry out and oversee covert action on behalf of the President, unless the President determines that another agency is better suited for carrying out such action. It can, for example, exert foreign political influence through its tactical divisions, such as the Special Activities Division.

The CIA and the FBI have both been providing weapons to Syrian rebel groups which is a strategy the US has tried before.

Alex Jones breaks down the total absurdity of the king and queen of fake news, Brian Williams and Hillary Clinton, declaring an all out attack on what they deem to be fake news. Despite Williams losing his job with NBC’s Nightly News last year for spreading fake news and Clinton being caught lying about an attack on a Bosnia trip, not to mention voting for a war that killed thousands that was based on fake news, they continue to push forward in their attempt to shut down the alternative press that is rapidly growing and pushing out the faltering mainstream media. As the EU demands social media sites censor fake news and Reddit, Facebook and other sites begin blocking Infowars and other alternative media it is now alarmingly evident that their truly is a war on for your mind.

The CIA has been widely criticised in the US Senate Intelligence Committee report on its interrogation techniques employed in the post 9/11 period. The program was signed off by then President George W Bush but he did not seem to know the full details of what torture took place. Even CIA officials kept the government agencies in the dark about the methods they used and whether they got them the necessary information needed to stop would-be terrorists. This report highlights how much of what was uncovered from prisoners around the world between 2002 and 2007 was not reliable. Ashley Fudge takes a look at the report which is 525 pages long. It could have been more than 6,000 pages but a lot is still classified. So you'll learn some things here but not everything that's been going on in so-...
