You Need To Understand That The US Is The Most Tyrannical Regime On Earth by Caitlin Johnstone published on 2021-08-14T00:45:53Z The United States is currently circling the planet with hundreds of military bases and waging wars which have killed millions and displaced tens of millions just since the turn of this century. Its sanctions and blockades are starving people to death en masse every single day. It works to destroy any nation which disobeys its dictates by toppling their governments via CIA coups, proxy armies, partial and full-scale invasions, and the most egregious number of election interferences in the entire world. There is no other government on earth about which you can say anything like any of these things. No other government on earth is doing anything which rises to this level of evil. Not Iran, not North Korea, not Russia or China or any of the other big scary boogeymen we're told we must be afraid of my the mass media. You can argue that other governments have perpetrated comparable evils in the past, but you cannot argue that any of them are doing so currently. In our present reality as it actually exists, the United States is the worst monster, and it's not even close. Reading by Tim Foley.

We need to find a way to get the linkage between the false imprisonment of Julian Assange and the failure in Afghanistan to be seen in their co-relationship. The American desire to criminalize a dedicated defender of the public's right to know the facts surrounding cold-blooded war crimes needs to be seen as a slap in the face to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. 2021-08-14T04:12:45Z
