(2021-09-16). Coups, Censorship & Propaganda: the US New Cold War Playbook. orinocotribune.com By Rainer Shea — Sep 14, 2021 | Uncountable are the editorials in every American and European newspaper and magazine of note adding to this vocabulary of gigantism and apocalypse, each use of which is plainly designed not to edify but to inflame the reader's indignant passion as a member of the "West," and what we need to do. Churchillian rhetoric is used inappropriately by self-appointed combatants in the West's, and especially America's, war against its haters, despoilers, destroyers, with scant attention to complex histories that defy such reductiveness and have seeped from one territory into another, in…

So-Called Democratic "Moderates" Are Right-Wingers Who Have Always Blocked Social Progress. zcomm.org The U.S. is the only liberal-democratic country in the world with a political system set up for two mainstream parties, a long and continuous history of union suppression, and without a major socialist party at the national level…
(2021-09-16). 20 Years Of Post-9/11 Amnesia. popularresistance.org The constant demand that we "Never forget!," the events of September 11, 2001 is rather laughable. Forgetting is difficult after enduring 20 years of war propaganda. News stories about that day are plentiful albeit useless, that is to say they add nothing to our understanding of why the U.S. was attacked and depend upon sentiment, jingoism, and tried and true claims of exceptionalism to maintain fear, hatred, and support for war. | The aftermath of September 11 gets surprisingly short shrift but it is just as important as the who, what, when, where, why, and how of that date. It was just three days later that the…

To Avert Failure, Biden Should Listen to the "Radicals" — Not Corporate Media. zcomm.org If Biden won't even heed Schumer's urgent advice to give the country an FDR-like push forward — and instead listens to the "go-slow/go-small" warnings of giant corporations and their media — the GOP will win big in 2022…

Top Spook's Rant on Afghanistan Smacked of Fake News. strategic-culture.org Is there a dark game being played here by the spooks in Britain, using a cavernous and inept media machine to create a smoke screen to the real issues? | One wonders if Britain's MI5 chief, Ken McCallum is a real person or some banal technical creation of the boffins of the UK's home security service. His recent comments about the Taliban giving rogue winnable terrorists around the world a moral boost after the calamity of the U.S. withdrawal in Afghanistan not only smacks of 'stating the bleeding obvious' but also of paternal baloney nefariously designed to distract the UK's public attention away from the real i…
