EDITOR—Jimmy Dore and his team explain how NPR has evolved from a decently progressive news and commentary outlet to a mouthpiece for liberal globalism, afflicted with a bad case of WOKISM and Trump derangement syndrome, that is, US imperialism with a new mask, and why it is now virtually useless to the real left.

Hollywood’s Dangerous Afghan Illusion: “Charlie Wilson’s War”. Legacy of the late Robert Parry
42 minutes readTHIS IS A REPOST
ROBERT PARRY—First, there was the ascendance of propaganda over truth. The U.S. government was well aware of the gross human rights crimes of the Afghan “muj” but still sold them as honorable “freedom fighters” to the American people. Second, there was the triumphalism of Gates and other war hawks, who insisted on rubbing Moscow’s nose in its Afghan defeat and thus blocked cooperation on a negotiated settlement which held out the promise of a less destructive outcome. -
Why Biden Doesn’t Want Americans to Visit Russia
27 minutes readJOHN VAROLI—In their effort to support the liberal globalist war machine, major western media unabashedly fabricate their coverage of Russia, a country that they hate because of its defense of national sovereignty and traditional values.
In the realm of western media lies, life in Russia is akin to North Korea — poverty is rampant and economic collapse imminent under the pressure of sanctions; secret police scour dark empty streets for hapless victims to drag off to slave labor camps; the Kremlin arbitrarily invades neighboring nations “to rebuild the Soviet empire”; and every Russian wants to escape and flee to the West.

THE WEST & UKRAINE: DOUBLING DOWN TOWARD ARMAGEDDON
15 minutes readAEARNUR—War and ever more war is the answer to all those who call for peace through negotiations. As the puppet of the western powers Zelensky obeys the command to avoid negotiations with Russia at all costs, even to the extent of having a law passed banning them. We have never before been on such a steep slope to catastrophe as we are now. Madness reigns across the entire panoply of the western political superstructure. Group thought has replaced all semblance of rationality within a war mode mentality that drives each western leader to forego any perception of reality, totally blinded as they are by dogma.

BRIAN BERLETIC—The editor of The New Atlas files a haunting message in homage to Aaron Bushnell’s sacrifice for the sake of Gaza’s salvation. Moral cowards will attack him as being an extremist or a mental case, but Bushnell was not mental. He simply woke up to the horrors of what his country does and has been doing, and wanted no part of it. Bushnell chose self-immolation to arouse attention and hopefully action against the perverted and hypocritical involvement of America and its equally complicit allies in possibly one of the greatest crimes in history. It took a long time and millions of people to create this evil system; it will take a long time and millions of people to bring it down, notes Berletic. So join those who are working to build a different world. Support the alternative media. Break out of your isolation. Fight today, fight tomorrow, don’t give up.
