While our media prostitutes, many Hollywood celebs, and politicians and opinion shapers make so much noise about the still to be demonstrated damage done by the Russkies to our nonexistent democracy, this is what the sanctimonious US government has done overseas just since the close of World War 2. And this is what we know about. Many other misdeeds are yet to be revealed or documented.
Parting shot—a word from the editors
The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” — acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump — a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
Trying my hand at some political collage. It’s rather crude, but I think it gets the point across regarding our political “spectrum.”
Simply terrific and well done. I assume you give us permission to use it?
Of course you could use it. Maybe someday I’ll get a handle on how to really collage images rather than just add captions. Thanks. – Gary
Just and FYI: The two photos in the collage came from a site that was both “free” and listed the images as no copyright and for public use.
Many thanks, Gbossa. We were a bit concerned about that. Again, thanks!
Very good dissertation and it is very wrong that such things have so little reach. If only journals could use this amount and depth of sourcing in their “news”. But even if obviously ideological, this is less propagandistic than even mainstream outlets like CNN or Fox, which instead of making their position explicit use covert media tricks to convey their message without acytually stating it, and which conceal their sources and actual stance.
