Good observations, here.
I disagree w/Red Kahina a LOT about things going on in E. Asia, but I appreciate her takedown of Max @MaxBlumenthal, @RaniaKhalek, & @BenjaminNorton, here: It's clear (esp. after the events of today) that Israel VERY MUCH wants war, & F/UK/US is helping.https://twitter.com/RedKahina/status/994004911095537664 …

Yeah--I pity the guy, actually, b/c I really think he wants to be an effective investigative journalist a la Sy Hersh. He's in a rock-and-a-hard place. I don't think there's a "conspiracy," just a bit too much Am. Excep'sm & not enough work to get outside the AIPAC/CFR/...
Sy Hersh? please. has been working for CIA all his life, since My Lai limited hangout covering for Phoenix Program. never revealed name of a CIA officer, appears critical of power while maintaining access to treasure trove of “insider” information which keeps him monetized & safe

I think you have a peculiarly idealized vision of how "investigative journalism" works, Cú Chulainn (
@Cukullen). ^_^ One must cultivate sources, and one only gets to publish what they can give you, & which can be verified. Ya: I have no doubt Hersh has "worked for the CIA"... -
...but he's also done some great work as a mouthpiece for people in the US Mil. who absolutely despise the CIA (or at least big parts of it ). It's a balancing act, and yeah: I'm sure he knows he gets used. So it goes, tho. Hersh's facts are always reliable, and trustworthy.
