In May 2007, Giovanni Galloni, former vice president of the Italian judiciary’s High Council, boldly proclaimed that “not all participants” in the premier’s abduction had been members of the Red Brigades. That conclusion was spurred by Moro’s bodyguards being executed with “just two weapons, used by exceptionally experienced men.” In addition to never being identified, these assassins displayed a level of shooting expertise no known Red Brigades operative seemed to possess. Galloni strongly insinuated the killers were hired by Washington and/or T...

The Jimmy Dore Show    

by Caitlin Johnstone   Cristina on Twitter asks, “Can you please write another of your beautiful posts about hope. I am not sure I have any left. We need hope.” I don’t understand how anyone can be without hope right now, personally. The imperial propaganda machine is crumbling in ways we’ve never seen in our lifetime. They wouldn’t work so hard on shoring up narrative control if they didn’t need it, and their narrative control is falling apart. Look at Israel. This is an arm of the empire that understands the importance of narrative manipulation so acutely that they’ve got their own term for the practice, “hasbara”, with countless systems in place for influencing the way westerners view the Zionist entity. But they’re losing. Israel and its supporters are more keenly aware of how important it is to control the narrative than maybe any other population on earth, and yet they are losing control of the narrative. Worldwide support for Israel is plummeting, with more American voters s...

The Jimmy Dore Show   Since the Gaza ceasefire was announced, reports have been coming out describing the treatment of Israeli prisoners of wars (typically called “hostages”) and Palestinian detainees, focusing on conflicting narratives in international media. Those released on both sides have alleged torture, but the maimed bodies of released Palestinian corpses suggest particularly brutal treatment. CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour was forced to make an on-air apology after commenting about relative conditions faced by captives, which prompted debate over media bias and self-censorship. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger use this moment to critique Western media coverage of the Israel–Hamas conflict and its framing of humanitarian suffering on both sides.
