@FranzKafkaRockOpera a legal assassination was the elimiation of a potential threat to the integrity of the State. This procedure was authorised by "some entity" as long as sufficient proofs were given. Therefore, without those "warrants", the assassination is illegal. Sounds crazy for our contemporary world, but that's what I've been told. It's not an accurate fact, it's based on sources and researches.

The inclusion of two tracks off Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts collection only serves to make this better.

We've all become Richard Nixon? Funny, personally I thought I had become Woodrow Wilson.

[gogilesgo]

can it be a coincidence that the film poster in the background of the vox pop at 5:36 is for the biopic Nixon? Is Curtis really that much of an archive savant?
