“All of the media ventures funded by Omidyar have one thing in common: their slickness,” Rubinstein said, noting that the “cutting edge design, high production values, and the esoteric portrayal of the process of reporting” all contribute to creating the image of Omidyar-backed outlets as the “responsible opposition” in contrast to outlets with a more shoestring budget. While Intercept editor Glenn Greenwald has been sharply critical of US foreign policy and the ‘Russiagate’ conspiracy theory, other writers at the outlet have “carried water for al-Qaeda in Syria” and pushed Russiagate, said Rubinstein.

What IS this thing called “American Exceptionalism”? Three views
104 minutes readPresident Barack Obama used the term American Exceptionalism more than any other president—perhaps to “compensate” for the racist riff-raff hatred against him because of his skin color. A Washington Post May 28, 2014 headline read: “Obama’s New Patriotism: How Obama has used his presidency to redefine ‘American Exceptionalism’”. Greg Jaffe wrote: “No American president has talked about American Exceptionalism more often and in more varied ways than Obama. As an Illinois state legislator, young U.S. senator and presidential candidate, he spoke about it most frequently through the prism of his own remarkable story. His father had grown up in Kenya herding goats. His wife carried ‘blood of slaves and slave owners,’ he noted during his first presidential campaign. He had brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews of every race and many religions, scattered across continents.”

SUCCESSFULLY SMEARING CHINA WITH BIG LIE PROPAGANDA ABOUT “MUSLIM GULAGS”, MSM DIGS UP A STALE PSYOPS: “ORGAN HARVESTING”.
23 minutes readJEFF J. BROWN—It’s sad, but like the bogus Muslim concentration camp Big Lie, it works every time (https://chinarising.puntopress.com/2018/08/27/time-to-get-real-about-chinas-25-million-muslims-china-rising-radio-sinoland-180827/). The problem is 99% of Westerners mistakenly believe they have a “free press”, barely read beyond the well-orchestrated, sensational headlines, swallow it all as gospel truth, post it on their Facebook and Twitter pages, then are “experts” at the dinner table and around the water cooler at work – Hey, look at me, I subscribe to the Economist and the New York Times! This, while they are equally brainwashed that socialist, communist, anti-imperial media are all “totalitarian” and unworthy of consideration. What the BLPM does is ingeniously and diabolically effective: psychological reflection/deflection of all its planetary psychopathy and tyranny onto its anti-imperial enemies. No wonder they call it psyops.

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—Rank-and-file Russiagaters have been worshipping at the altar of Saint Mueller this entire time out of the sincere hope that Trump will be proven guilty of conspiring with the Russian government to steal the 2016 election, but those who have been building and maintaining this narrative have long known that no such thing is going to happen. The mainstream conspiracy theory which has duped mainstream liberals into supporting the US intelligence community and longtime neoconservative agendas against Russia, Syria and WikiLeaks has done its job beautifully, and when “It’s Mueller Time!” has outworn its usefulness they’ll simply be paced into something else.

P. GREANVILLE—Access to healthcare in America, a corrupt and utterly monetised arrangement that is a global scandal even among capitalist nations, is in actuality in many cases a form of extortion. So how do we explain this general passivity in the face of a system that is clearly out to get you in every conceivable way—and often with complete impunity? Much of this stems, of course, from the indoctrination received by most Americans, the US “exceptionalist” brainwash that remains in force from cradle to grave.
