I could give other examples, but if Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's 1993 WTC bombing was not enough of a warning that that complex was a target, I don't know what would be. Mohammed succeeded on his second try. John P. O'Neill…
The CIA had offices at 7 World Trade Center. By the logic of that tweet, the CIA was hiding behind and deliberately using the civilians working in the WTC complex as human shields to hide from the Saudi 9/11 militants…
From 1947 to 1957 US media was filled with the idea that all progress in the Soviet Union was from stealing US innovations. Particularly the 1949 A-bomb, but other things as well. Then the Soviet Union launched Sputnik.…

MMT reads like "flat earth Facebook group" to plenty of economists outside of the establishment as well, including Bernie supporting ones.

In 1967 under the British, dozens of Chinese protesting against British rule and for representation were killed in Hong Kong.
It's great how the protestors stormed the legislature, beat up security guards, spray painted the walls, threatened legislators etc., spurred on by the US president. I am talking about the storming of the US Capitol,…

One of the most horrific actions in this genocide was when the Chinese Air force bombed a wedding in Xinjiang, killing 37 people - many innocent women and children. Oops! That was the US Air force 13 years ago, bombing…
Freedom House is a pretty nutty web site. They have a map of countries which has some unusual aspects, the most bizarre of which is you can't find China on the map. Apparently they have carved it up to their own western…
When the money was frozen, UK PM Boris Johnson said "we may have to tighten the economic screw on Venezuela". So the Prime Minister of the UK seems to have a different opinion on this.
The US is imposing not just US sanctions but a blockade on Venezuela, with one goal to block Covid vaccines from coming in (unless Venezuela bows down to a list of US demands). The US, UK etc. have pilfered Venezuelan…
