CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—The Grayzone has a new report out featuring leaked slides from a private Israel lobby presentation teaching politicians and prominent figures how to talk about Gaza in ways the public will be receptive to, based on focus group-tested information gathered by Republican political operative Frank Luntz. Journalist Mark Ames tweeted of the report, “This is an incredible scoop, a direct window into how the genocide-propaganda sausage is made.”
My favorite part of the article is where the author Max Blumenthal writes that Republicans and Democrats were found to be receptive to different words used to describe Israel’s genocidal violence in Gaza, saying “Republican voters prefer phrases which imply maximalist violence, like ‘eradicate’ and ‘obliterate,’ while sanitized terms like ‘neutralize’ appeal more to Democrats.”
That’s pretty much the only difference between Republicans and Democrats right there. That’s it in a nutshell.

DON HANK—Why do the Israelis behave like this in full view of the world?
Because they have done this with impunity for 7+ decades, and the US always ran interference for them, censoring the damning reports in the media. In fact, in the case of the Israeli attack on the US ship USS Liberty, Lyndon Johnson forbade any of the wounded and other victims from speaking about the event!

EDITOR—French President Emmanuel Macron has made numerous suggestions of sending NATO troops to battle against Russia and Vladimir Putin responded in a big way during a 2 hour speech to the Federal Assembly to end the month of February. Putin’s warning has shocked NATO to its core. This video breaks down what this means for the future of growing conflict between Russia and NATO, and indeed humanity itself. Independent media is under attack.

Youhoo! Tucker! Here is why Putin calls for denazification (which you called “the dumbest thing I ever heard of”).
by Don Hank53 minutes readDON HANK—It eventually dawned on me that this Russophobia to which I was exposed – and didn’t know its name yet – was only part of a bigger phenomenon that I call Westernness, which is in fact an infectious psycho-social disease, ie, primarily a way of thinking and functioning, one of whose symptoms is a general recalcitrant mediocrity and incompetence that in America has spread throughout academe, the professions, politics (in particular), the military, the think tanks, intelligence agencies, the media, Big Religion and the general populace. But it is also a sociopathy, making it invisible to the wide public.
