Thanks to the obscene control the American presstitutes —the billionaires’ media—exercise on the US public mind most Americans never learn about truly meaningful political protests. Fake heroes and heroics by Washington’s pawns in various color revolutions, o yea. Plenty of that. That’s why we hear so much about the “Hong Kong freedom/democracy fighters”, or the brave Venezuelans trying to topple “the tyrant Maduro”, so often praised by mendacious bullies like Pompeo , but virtually zero, nada, about genuinely popular non-CIA manufactured (and therefore truly independent) mass protests being violently repressed by regimes Washington supports in Chile, Ecuador, France and other points like that on this boiling planet.

13 minutes readBEN NORTON—The largest external displacement in the modern history of the Western Hemisphere has taken place not in Venezuela, but rather in its neighbor Colombia, where a brutally repressive right-wing government, backed to the hilt by Washington, has waged a decades-long internal war against leftist insurgent groups. Millions of Colombians have been displaced because of this US-backed war, which is still ongoing.

Is Moscow Aiding the Sanders Campaign? “Russia Again Gate”, But this Time in Favor of the “Progressive Dems”
17 minutes readSTEPHEN LENDMAN—Robert Mueller’s Russiagate witch hunt report accused Russia of election meddling — no evidence presented to back the claim. In a US court of law, accusations without corroborating evidence are considered groundless. The same standard holds in regards to politics and related issues. The Big Lie about Russian US election meddling won’t die because establishment media keep it alive with spurious reporting.

We’re Asking One Question In Assange’s Case: Should Journalists Be Punished For Exposing War Crimes?
22 minutes readCAITLIN JOHNSTONE—The persecution of Assange is so blatantly, obviously wrong that the only thing stopping people from seeing it is empire propaganda. You don’t have to be well-read. You don’t even have to be smart. You just have to have to have eyes that are unfiltered by narrative manipulation.
