Parting shot—a word from the editors
The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” -- acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump -- a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
What more can I say that I haven’t already said: NYT, the epitome of fake news organizations, reporting fake news about fake news.
Over a year later, and we still haven’t heard just what they think that “Russian interference” with the 2016 election was. No matter, “Russian interference” is now like “Iraq’s stockpiles of wmd,” a fact-free phrase that is repeated daily by the media. Propaganda 101: Anything that is repeated often enough by media — no matter how illogical — will come to be accepted as fact by the masses.
