Lessons in Humanity: Habeas Corpus
Watch in High Def. www.youtube.com “The Drumhead” is the 95th episode of the science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation and the 21st episode of the show’s fourth season. Guest star Jean Simmons portrays Rear Admiral Norah Satie, a special investigator who visits the Federation Starship USS Enterprise. Synopsis A Klingon exchange officer on board the Enterprise, J’Dan, is suspected of being involved in a security breach and in the possible sabotage of the warp core reactor. With no clear resolution as to the cause of the explosion, Starfleet Command dispatches retired Admiral Norah Satie to head up the investigation. She is accompanied by two assistants, one of whom is a Betazoid. Worf discovers that a Hypospray used to treat J’Dan’s Balthasar Syndrome is being used to convert digital information into amino acid sequences. J’Dan is interrogated, where it is revealed that he is indeed a Romulan collaborator, yet he remains adamant that he was not involved in the dilithium chamber explosion. Satie and Picard agree that J’Dan could not have acted alone, and that a larger conspiracy is present. They establish an agreement of mutual cooperation. Following the questioning of medical technician Simon Tarses, who is noted as being one-quarter Vulcan, Satie’s Betazoid assistant senses the young technician is hiding something. Afterward, Picard refuses to place restrictions on Tarses’ movements based on Betazoid intuition alone. An analysis of the dilithium …
Unashamed – Starfield I have not much To offer You Not near what You deserve But still I come Because Your cross Has placed in me my worth Oh, Christ my King Of sympathy Whose wounds secure my peace Your grace extends To call me friend Your mercy sets me free And I know I’m weak I know I’m unworthy To call upon Your name But because of grace Because of Your mercy I stand here unashamed I can’t explain This kind of love I’m humbled and amazed That You’d come down From heavens heights And greet me face to face

erentheca :
@Usul573 Very true.
Usul573 :
@erentheca
Even Star Wars starts doing it
“If you’re not with me, then you’re my enemy!”
Callirgos1 :
Play this on Fox News…
shafta99 :
for me these lessons are meant to be applied to life. don’t squash one mans liberty to triumph your own.
erentheca :
For me, this used to feel somewhat theoretical…. now, after this last decade, I get chills watching this, especially when Worf states, “The Federation does have enemies, we must seek them out.” and Picard replies, “Oh yes, that’s how it starts.”
KingOfMadCows :
@kev3d The war started because the territories were in dispute. It’s not like the Cardassians were trying to annex Earth or Vulcan. It may very well be that both sides had legitimate claim over the colonies.
As for the Federation doing no wrong, clearly that’s never been the case. Even in the first season of TNG, during which Roddenberry had the most control, there was that de-aging admiral who cut a back room deal and broke the Prime Directive to end a war.
kev3d :
@KingOfMadCows Why would a power give up territory to the other power with which it is engaged in war? That makes no sense. Here is the crux of it. The federation is a whats called a writer’s pet. And in the eyes of most writers and very many fans, the federation can do no wrong. But this is demonstrably false, as there are lots of incidents which, when taken to their logical conclusion (or origin), point to bad policy on the Fed’s part, fictional though it is.
KingOfMadCows :
@kev3d The Federation fought a 20 year war with the Cardassians, if they didn’t care about the colonists, they would have just let the Cardassians have those planets long ago. What exactly should the Federation have done? Continue the war and let thousands, maybe millions die?
As for the Dominion War, are you forgetting that the Cardassians joined the Dominion was because of the Klingon invasion and that it was negotiated secretly by Dukat where he was made supreme leader of Cardassia?
kev3d :
@KingOfMadCows Technically the failure of the treaty shows the Federation’s gross incompetence and utter lack of regard for the colonists. The federations corruption shows in other ways, such as the witch hunt in the above video and the wink wink, nudge nudge prohibition of Romulan Ale which the Starfleet elites blatantly disregard. The Dominion War proves the Cardassians could not be trusted. For all their intel, logic and diplomacy, the Feds had no clue.
KingOfMadCows :
@kev3d How exactly is that the Federation’s fault? How does that show the Federation being corrupt? The only other alternative was war.
The Cardassians used the Bajorans as slave labor because the Bajorans didn’t have the technology to resist. If war were to continue, the Federation would send in starships and weapons. Enslaving the colonists would be too much trouble.
And what does the Dominion War have to do with it? The treaty was signed before they even knew of the Dominion’s existence.
kev3d :
@KingOfMadCows Uproot or be oppressed…that is not a choice. By the way, the Cardassian colonists on the Federation side also objected. Also, why would the Cardassians “wipe out” the colonists? They would love the use of slave labor, as they did during the occupation of Bajor.
As far as stopping the war, the treaty was signed in 2370, according to memory Alpha, with the Dominion War beginning AFTER the treaty was signed. Whatever the treaty was supposed to do, it failed.
jeffman52001 :
@kev3d Sadly the Maquis, well most of them got killed when the Cardassians formed an alliance with the Dominion, but the Cardassians payed the price for that later on.
Keytaster :
@TemperedAlchemist real vulcans are never surprised, they know already
abooooff :
This concept goes beyond star trek. But it reaches me because it is star trek. Thank you for putting this on youtube. It has fantastic resonance.
KingOfMadCows :
@kev3d Yes they did. The colonists were given a choice, either let Starfleet evacuate them or stay under Cardassian rule. That was the only way to end the war. Watch the TNG episode “Journey’s End,” the treaty was negotiated after that episode.
Also, you have to keep in mind that 24th century weapons are much more powerful than our weapons. It wouldn’t take more than a few photon torpedoes for the Cardassians to completely wipe out those colonies and they’re obvious capable of such atrocities.
kev3d :
@KingOfMadCows The colonists did not consent to being ruled and oppressed by the Cardassians, that is why the Maquis existed. Memory Alpha clearly states that the Cardassians had no intention of honoring the deal by leaving the colonists alone. watch?v=DRxPjJ8VlyE this puts it into perspective for me. Peace (which isn’t actually peaceful in the long run) at the expense of liberty is hardly a noble pursuit.
KingOfMadCows :
@kev3d Except the people living there did consent. The treaty was specifically modified so that the colonists could stay. Originally, the Cardassian’s terms were that the colonies be evacuated or the war would continue.
The Munich Agreement was an attempt to prevent war. The treaty with the Cardassians ended a war.
DS9 does not show the Federation being corrupt, it shows how the Federation deals with no win situations. It’s the same themes Wrath of Khan dealt with but on a bigger scale.
kev3d :
@KingOfMadCows A trade without the consent of the governed. And again, I point to Neville Chamberlain’s treaty with Hitler, which was a trade of a sort too; Czechoslovakia in exchange for “peace in our time”. I think it was a bold writing move on DS9′s part to show the Federation as being as corrupt as any other empire in the Galaxy. But I think the writers feared that they would alienate too many viewers so they had to maintain a sense of irrationality among the Maquis.
KingOfMadCows :
@kev3d Actually, it was a trade. Some Cardassian colonies would end up on the Federation’s side of the border and some Federation colonies would end up on the Cardassian’s side of the border. The Federation and Cardassians only had an armistice at the time and the treaty was negotiated to permanently end the war. If they had not signed the treaty, either the border skirmishes would have continued or the war would have resumed.
kev3d :
@KingOfMadCows The “Cardassian side” of the border were planets the federation ceded without the consent of those living on them. Until then, no Cardassian had ever lived there. (at least not as I recall) True to their past habits, the Cardassians began to harass and imprison those who chose to stay. Basically, the Federation pulled a Neville Chamberlain when he brokered a “peace treaty” with Hitler, allowing him to keep Czechoslovakia.
KingOfMadCows :
@kev3d The Maquis attacked the Cardassians. If Starfleet had not hunted them, that would have given the Cardassians an excuse to invade the DMZ and possibly lead to a full scale war. The Federation is surrounded on all sides by hostile races, they can’t risk that. They fought two other wars during the Cardassian war. Another war could mean other races starting wars to take advantage of the situation. The Maquis chose to stay on the Cardassian’s side of the border despite the risks.
kev3d :
Of course the Federation DO start hunting down their own, the Maquis, simply because the Maquis did not want to give up their homeworlds when the Federation ceded them to the Cardassians.

why would anyone dislike this?..omg this is so beautiful<3 =)
pbbpbb :
@salviab123 furthermore, religion of course hasn’t existed since the beginning of time, because there was only God. But that aside, religion, theologically, is man trying to work his way to God. That doesn’t hold in Christianity. Furthermore, animals do, indirectly worship God by their very existence. By them fulfilling their place that God assigned them they give glory to him. Finally, science cannot prove everything, but what it does prove is that an intelligent being designed us.
pbbpbb :
@salviab123 you’ve simply got a bias savliab. if you consider it that way, you have to hold that view to everything. First of, the Old Testament (which still proclaims Christ) can be dated by tradition to 1300 bc. , perhaps even older if you consider time gaps between geneaologies. Even if you consider an archaeological date, you place it well over 2200 years ago (depending on your source). There are no other religious texts older than it, therefore, being the “only” does not disprove anything.
Stanley81 :
chords please…..great job
JuicyJuice1116 :
I wanna know why people have to get on CHRISTIAN videos and tear them apart with their hateful words. Say what you want…WE KNOW THAT JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS AND WILL COME BACK ONE DAY SOON!

brilliantchristian :
This song again just gave me the courage to encounter the situation I am in right now…because of grace and Your mercy, I stand here unashamed:)
salviab123 :
@MrBandgeek95 Well, Jesus is a myth. Notice that the bible is the ONLY account of Jesus’s existence. There are no other records dating back to that time that prove his existence. It’s very strange isn’t it? You have probably created some convaluted rationalazion to explain that strange fact. Just showing how delusional you are.
MrBandgeek95 :
@salviab123 Well I was implying beginning of us, humans…but whatever. If you believe in science there’s nothing I can say or do to make you believe otherwise. We, Christians, just believe in God because we have experienced his grace and mercy and that is why you and I are here talking here because of His sacrifice.
