Lies and Damned Lies - The Landscape of US Media



Three points of clarification, to push back on the disinformation that the Dems are pushing.

One: An illegal act of assassination does not become legal if one gang of criminals informs another gang of their intentions.

Two: Obama was NOT a force for peace. After Cheney was shut down by a NIE from all agencies in 2007 (a real NIE, not the Brennan Fake of Jan, 2017) and by CentCom Commander Admiral Fallon, who declared "No war on my watch", the US ruling class and the imperial media dropped the ''Iran is trying to make a nuclear bomb" fake news that the Bush administration had been pushing.
But when Obama came in in 2009, he picked up the gauntlet and started in talking the Cheney trash talk as if nothing had been disproven.
Admiral Fallon was gone and the media fell into line.

The nuclear deal was set up to fail. It was NOT a move of peace, since it was based on false propaganda in the first place.

Three: US imperialism is not based on the whims of the president, nor does the US go to war because of the personal desires of whatever puppet is in the White House.

The US did not destroy Yugoslavia (starting in 1991) because of a blow job in 1998, Bush did not invade Iraq because Saddam tried to kill his daddy, and the US did not assassinate Soleimani because of an impeachment (which is stalled in the House anyway).

US foreign policy is based on imperialism and control of resources, especially oil. It is simplistic to think otherwise.
