Though we at the Bay Press seek to avoid duplication of content currently circulating in other major media, some stories merit amplification. One example is the excruciatingly strange documentary Crazy Rulers of the World (part one), which recently aired on the UK's Channel 4.However many grains of salt you take it with, this piece will entertain and possibly frighten. It is at least a fascinating insight into the types of characters a bloated military bureaucracy creates. Prepare to learn about a spoon-bending U.S. general, the "Earth First Batallion", and the army's apparently ongoing forays into new age mysticism and paranormal research. Inspired by the 2004 book The Men Who Stare at Goats. The veracity of the claims aside, spellbinding stuff.
