This morning I was stuck in front of a Fox "News" broadcast for a short period and then with an NPR news program. It was enough to convince me that Nazi propaganda during Hitler's Third Reich was very mild compared to the constant stream of dangerous lies that are pumped out constantly by the American media.

The New York Times, Washington Post, and a couple of think-tank types were represented on NPR. They delivered the most crude propaganda imaginable and questioned no US government statement.

Did you know that all the trouble in Syria is due to the Russians and Assad? The US has no blame whatsoever. The US is trying to fight ISIS (which the US created, aids and abets), but the evil Russians and Assad are fighting the innocent "democratic rebels" who are trying to bring democracy to Syria as a replacement for a "brutal dictator" (elected by a large majority vote). The Russians are also bombing schools and hospitals, "collateral damage" when the US does it but war crimes when the Russians are accused of doing it. The accusers had no evidence for their accusations against Russia beyond the unverified claims of the US government. Despite nonexistent Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction," nonexistent Iranian nukes, and nonexistent use of chemical weapons by Assad "against his own people," the talking heads continue to accept without question whatever the US government says. I was especially disappointed in Karen DeYoung. As a young reporter she aggressively covered the neoconservatives' misadventures in Nicaragua. However, to become the Washington Post's senior foreign affairs reporter she had to give up and join the presstitutes.

Did you know that China was militarizing the South China Sea by building up atolls to accommodate runways and by placing weapons on the site? It is not militarization when the "exceptional country" allocates 60% of its large fleet to the Pacific, declares the South China Sea, which is thousands of miles from America, to be an area of "American national interest," and sends warships to patrol the sea. That's simply "countering the Chinese threat."

Did you know that the clamor by the British people for UK exit from the European Union has nothing to do with preserving UK national sovereignty and the legal protections of British civil liberty? It is all to do with rejecting refugees, a sign of racism.
