by Alan Macleod  Part 4 - Controlling the Narrative USAID influences global media and the means of communication in far more profound ways than simply sponsoring news outlets. Last March, a 97-page USAID document was obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. The document revealed a vast operation to censor and suppress wide swaths of the internet, including Twitch, Reddit, 4Chan, Facebook, Twitter, Discord and alternative media websites. There, USAID lamented, users were able to build communities to create “populist expertise” and develop opinions and viewpoints that challenge official U.S. government narratives. Although its internal justification was halting the flow of mis- and disinformation, it seemed particularly concerned with “malinformation” – a concept it defines as speech that is factually correct but “misleading” (i.e., bothersome truths the U.S. government would prefer the public does not know).

The Jimmy Dore Show   Piers Morgan’s TV show is typically more of a sh*tshow — a foursome of guests and the host all shouting over each other like the television equivalent of monkeys hurling feces at one another. But there was a break in the inanity recently as British politician George Galloway rendered a monologue skewering NATO and the west’s intervention in Ukraine and the blood of a million Ukrainians supporters of the war like Morgan have on their hands.

Geopolitical Economy Report   Donald Trump's fight with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House reflected how the US treats Ukraine as a colony. Trump is demanding control of the country's rare earths and critical minerals, to weaken China, re-industrialize, and build tech products. Trump wants to be paid $350 billion, roughly twice Ukraine's GDP. Ben Norton discusses Washington's economic colonialism, and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham's comments that "this war is about money" and the USA will "enrich ourselves with rare earth minerals".    In short, through this strategy, Trump achieves two major goals. First, he destroys the liberal project for Ukraine, which is basically the complete looting of the country by the US-Western liberal capitalist faction. Second, he opens widely the road for the Musk-led oligarchy to replace its liberal capitalist rivals in the race for Ukraine's valuable assets.    https://www.failedev...
