Bit of a Freudian slip - about those who lost the war in Iraq and thus became "pariahs around the world."

Vital to recall: All of these questions about Joe Biden's participation in the influence-peddling deals of Hunter, in China and Ukraine, were known before the 2020 election. But CIA united with corporate media to spread the lie that the docs were "Russian disinformation."

No matter your ideological prism, no matter your moral code, there's nothing Trump did that came close to the evils, conspiracies and systemic deceit of the neocons and Bush/Cheney operatives who are embedded and beloved in Dem establishment circles.

Who would have ever guessed CNN would immediately bring in a former federal prosecutor who worked for Preet Bharara to defend both Hunter Biden and the Biden DOJ? This is so out of character for them: relying on US Security State officials to defend the Biden Administration.

Hi Anne Applebaum : you've cheered every disastrous US war for the last 25 years; you've always sent other families to die in those wars; and much of what you've said about war has been proven to be lies. So tell us what to think now: A perfect microcosm of corporate media:

The NYT's talent for hiring "conservative" columnists who sing for liberals is undeniable: * Bret Stephens, "Lock Him Up" (Trump is evil, belongs in prison) * David Brooks (Biden is too great, and Trump too evil, to risk a 3rd party) * David French (Trump belongs in jail)

A Ukrainian woman living in Germany is found guilty and fined by a German court for pro-Russia comments, arguing that Russia is not the "aggressor.'' She faced prison but the judge didn't send her there only because she's unemployed with children: https://www.ibtimes.com/germany-fines-woman-saying-russia-isnt-aggressor-invasion-ukraine-was-necessary-3698575

Amazing article from the NYT about the rather uncomfortable fact that photos of Ukrainian soldiers and leading battalions so often include Nazi symbols and flags. For a decade, the Western press warned Ukraine's fighters were dominated by Nazi units: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/05/world/europe/nazi-symbols-ukraine.html

And, of course, "disinformation experts" - the world's worst hoax - reinforced this lie by branding lab leak "debunked" and urging it to be censored. This wasn't about blaming China. It was about protecting the US and Fauci. They funded the research. https://theintercept.com/2021/09/06/new-details-emerge-about-coronavirus-research-at-chinese-lab/

It was only when the Biden Admin said it had doubts that debate was allowed. Now, the Energy Dept's most elite scientific team (and FBI) says lab leak was most likely. Fauci so clearly acted to protect himself by deceiving the public. So little interest now in finding out.

At the start, top virologists/epidemiologists wrote to Fauci to say COVID was likely from a lab leak, not natural. Within a week, Fauci - who funded that research - imposed a consensus that a lab leak was "debunked," and Big Tech censored any debate. https://rumble.com/v2b6gvg--system-update-47.html

Tense exchange at Aryna Sabalenka's press conference, when a Ukrainian journalist asked her a pointed question about her previous support for Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko: They seem to think the key to Ukraine winning is to force young tennis players to denounce their country after every match. If Russia and Belarus are dictatorships where all government critics are murdered, isn't it immoral to demand this? And why would it make a difference?

The drone strikes in Moscow targeted residential buildings. Ukraine previously blew up a Russian blogger's car, killing his daughter. It exploded a bomb in a St. Petersburg café, killing a journalist, injuring 19. Is this terrorism? Does the US support this type of targeting?

I continue to be amazed by the lack of debate over the US role. Regardless of blame, this is the most dangerous war for the US and the world in decades. Biden said that. Yet Dems support it unanimously and the GOP establishment is fully aligned with Biden: UniParty consensus.

Soon as Bernie, AOC et al voted for the $40b to fuel the proxy war, few DNC-loyal "leftists" would dare object -especially since all NO votes came from the right. Briahna Joy Gray is right: the defense budget gets bipartisan approval. But the 70 NO votes on Ukraine were all GOP.

The US is involved in the most dangerous was for it and the world since at least Iraq. Biden said it's brought the US closer to nuclear armageddon than at any point since 1962. Both DC parties keep escalating their rhetoric. But the war barely exists in left-liberal discourse.

Large majorities of Americans have serious doubts about Biden's mental fitness to be President, and believe he is too old. Unsurprisingly, then, Trump leads Biden by 7 points for 2024, and Kamala Harris by 11 points. Can the media be more out-of-touch?
