CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—In reality the nature of the US-centralized empire allows it to run a massive, nonstop international propaganda campaign through mass media platforms which are mostly privately owned. The fact that these mass media outlets look independent but function as propaganda organs for the US empire allows its propaganda to fly into people’s minds without triggering any gag reflex of critical thinking or skepticism, which wouldn’t be the case if people knew those outlets were feeding them propaganda. Propaganda only really has persuasive power if you don’t know it’s happening to you.
GREAT HYPOCRISY

PATRICE GREANVILLE—Musk’s sudden pilgrimage to Israel to hear Netanyahu’s mendacious and transparently self-serving spiel on the Zionist massacre of Palestinians. Did he really need to do that, considering how overwhelmingly obliging the Western media has been toward the Israeli position? No. But it’s all about public contrition, a la HUAC, photo ops, plain old p.r. Opportunism.

Norman Finkelstein on Israel’s BRUTAL Assault On Gaza
241 mins readEDITOR—A wide-ranging discussion of the situation in Palestine with Middle East expert and anti-imperialist/Zionist Norman Finkelstein, as world opinion is buffeted by the West’s and specifically Israel’s propaganda machine to justify total ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by the Zionist regime, while most of the Global South and alt media present the Palestinian attack on Israel from the perspective of undeniably oppressed, enslaved people seeking liberation. In Dr Finkelstein’s opinion Israel in this case does not deserve the moral right of “self defence” any more than those who serve as guards for concentration camps.

US gov’t stopped Tucker Carlson from interviewing Putin. Tucker Carlson says–Land of the “FREE.”
31 minutes readEDITOR—In his usual personable and lucid style, Cosman effectively denounces what he correctly perceives as the colossal hypocrisy of the US government and the West, in general, in calling themselves great champions of liberty and free speech, but cynical controlling mass media through a massive Orwellian machinery of outright disinformation, threats and covert blocking. The latest case—fortunately for anti-imperialist/ liberal interventionists—is Tucker Carlson being mugged by establishment, a mugging that, touching the raw nerve of tens of millions of conservatives and Trumpets, is not liable to remain under wraps for long. Another clumsy move of the West. Of course, the Western imperialists are in a huge bind, partially of their own making. If they start telling the truth, after eons of unrelenting lies, including naked false flags and criminal acts all over the place, they rapidly destroy the foundations of their political legitimacy and credibility. If they not, reality will catch up with them, as we already see in an ever rising tidal wave of revelations that leave little room for doubt.
