(2021-08-27). The 'War On Terror' Scam Continues. popularresistance.org ISIS has reportedly claimed credit for an explosion near Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport. As of this writing there are around 90 dead including 13 US military personnel, though to read western mainstream media reports you'd think only US troops died and not scores of Afghans as well. | This was the deadliest attack in a decade on US troops in Afghanistan, which is odd to think about considering how many people the US military has killed during that time; just between January and July of this year the war killed 1,659 civilians. The way the US war machine has shifted to relying more on highly profitable…

One key factor in spreading suspicion that the coronavirus might have escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) is media's early and ongoing politicization of the World Health Organization's investigation into the pandemic's origins. Much of this politicization weaponizes Orientalist tropes about China being especially, perhaps genetically, untrustworthy—the sort of people who would unleash COVID-19 on the world.

And they should be informed citizens. Not here. World War I is a classic example. In 1916, Wilson won on a platform of "peace without victory."

It was highly successful. It wasn't the first such occasion, nor the last. State propaganda remains high…
