AMERICAN PROPAGANDA

The manufacturing of imperialist wars is a “normal” operation for the American media. 
The Gulf Wars initiated by the Bush dynasty were both (as were other imperial wars of the same period) sold to the US public on the basis of carefully orchestrated propaganda campaigns based on filthy lies. Executives and owners of PR fims like Hill & Knowlton, long the image cleansers of crooks, despots and tyrants, not to mention genocidal criminals, and imperialism itself, across the globe, should be indicted for war crimes and punished accordingly.

Election 2016: In the Lions’ den. Jimmy Dore covers some Trump rallies, comments on his clueless followers. Not that Hillary was preferable, not even acceptable as a “lesser evil”. Not in 2016. That year the US electorate truly had no choices worthy of a rational and mentally healthy nation, let alone a real democracy. A compulsive lying narcissist and proto-fascist and a certifiable war criminal dripping corruption. In those days Jimmy was still part of the The Young Turks team, an org he has since left to fly with his own (reliably radical) team.

STEVEN JONAS—In any case, here we are possibly talking not just about rape, but the rape of minors. If in this instance, one or more witnesses were to come forward, as they already have against Epstein, but against Trump himself, well, that is one he might just not be able to survive, even if every “upright Christian” (really Christian Rightist) Republican in the Congress would be saying nothing more than “but what about Clinton?”

PATRICE GREANVILLE—Capitalism has always drowned and faltered on its unjust social relations. The outrageously lopsided way it distributes income, the product of society, continually augmented by advances in technology, is a contradiction that has no economic answers because it is really a question of power, a question of politics. The constant elimination of jobs by automation, and their hemorrhage toward cheap-labor zones cannot be “cured” by job training programs or even better education for all (as Clinton cabinet member Robert Reich, the main evangelist for this pseudo-solution, still preaches).
