On orders of President Biden, the United States has launched an airstrike on a facility in Syria. As of this writing the exact number of killed and injured is unknown, with early reports claiming " a handful " of people were killed. Rather than doing anything remotely resembling journalism, the western mass media have opted instead to uncritically repeat what they've been told about the airstrike by US officials, which is the same as just publishing Pentagon press releases. Here's this from  The Washington Post : The Biden administration conducted an airstrike against alleged Iranian-linked fighters in Syria on Thursday, signaling its intent to push back against violence believed to be sponsored by Tehran. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the attack, the first action ordered by the Biden administration to push back against alleged Iranian-linked violence in Iraq and Syria, on a border control point in eastern Syria was “authorized in response to recent attacks again...

While we all fixate on electoral political solutions, the powerful focus on narrative control, because that's where real power is at. The people who pose an actual threat to the machine are those who disrupt its narratives and narrative control agendas. Everyone else is harmless. If the majority of a troubled population believes their political system is operating in a way that is demonstrably very different from the way it actually operates, then that population doesn't have a political problem, it has a propaganda problem. Berners watched the mass media actively sabotage the Sanders campaign day after day in two consecutive elections, and went "The problem is not enough progressives in government!" No, the problem is the billionaire media who are constantly lying to everyone. Create a truth-based information ecosystem and politics will move toward health by itself. As long as the ruling class is successfully using mass-scale narrative manipul...

African leaders must help continent, not sell it off The struggle for Africa’s independence from its colonial rulers has always been centred on land and the natural resources beneath. For decades its resources were looted by these imperialist masters. Gold, oil and diamonds are some of the resources still extracted from Africa by multinational companies without its people benefiting from them. African countries remain poor as if they are not major producers of these jewels. Today, water and land are valuable resources that are being sold and leased to multinational companies by African governments and this leaves our people without land to farm and less water available for their agricultural projects. The disturbing trend is that African governments do too little to empower African farmers. The ongoing scramble, that of partitioning African land into commodities for foreign companies is a new form of colonialism. The modus operandi of these companies is to lease huge stretc...

An Opinion Piece By Hon Vincent Tsvangirai MP. He is the late Morgan Tsvangirai’s son and a Zimbabwean youth. He is also the MDCT Member of Parliament for Glenview South Constituency and the Party’s Secretary for Presidential Affairs.through a lot of Alex Magaisa’s recent articles, it is fair that a response by a Zimbabwean youth is given. Having gone through a lot of Alex Magaisa’s recent articles, it is fair that a response by a Zimbabwean youth is given After the disastrous 2013 election the MDCT family and its president Morgan Tsvangirai woke up to see a picture of Alex Magaisa, Jonathan Moyo, Saviour Kasukuwere and other G40 kingpins at a lodge on the outskirts of Harare. Immediately, it began to dawn on the over trusting MDCT that the man whom it had entrusted with the duty of advising its president could actually have been secretly dining with their opponent, the then united, if not a faction of, Zanu PF. After the coup in November, 2017 it was clear that Dr Magaisa’...

Victoria Nuland: Don't be fooled by the smile she will kill you without blinking   WAR DAY 7️⃣0️⃣8️⃣9️⃣ 🍵 "As the Senate prepares to confirm Nuland for Under Secretary for Political Affairs, a reflection of her last 30 years in government shows how she was connected to nearly every foreign policy disaster undertaken by the United States." * "As a top-level appointee, Nuland must still be confirmed by the Senate. And while pro-peace groups have waged a campaign to stop her confirmation, reflecting on her career in public service makes clear why she is incompetent, highly dangerous, and should not be confirmed." ☛ Afghanistan and Iraq "From 2000 to 2003, when the Bush administration attacked and then invaded Afghanistan, Nuland was serving as Bush’s permanent representative to NATO. The Afghan government offered to work with the Americans to remove al-Qaeda, but the offer was rejected. After al-Qaeda was defeated, the U.S. could ...
