While our media prostitutes, many Hollywood celebs, and politicians and opinion shapers make so much noise about the still to be demonstrated damage done by the Russkies to our nonexistent democracy, this is what the sanctimonious US government has done overseas just since the close of World War 2. And this is what we know about. Many other misdeeds are yet to be revealed or documented.

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

Or perhaps their inner health, better said, leaves those marks.) To top it all, “[Mr. dePitt] thinks… Read more »
🙂 Comrade M.S. did not free us soon enough for me to get a solid democratic education – mine has huge gaps. For example, the closest I’ve ever heard to George Sanders is a certain lady George Sand (and I know more about Chopin – though next to nothing – than about Sand). Even so, if he preferred that avatar, it still means his spirit resonates with compatriots of that time. You see, if you happen to know Mr. dePitt/deWitt, please let him know that I forgot to specify an important detail: you (all) can just comment there, you don’t… Read more »
