If I had the power to make everyone read one article on Bradley Manning, it'd be this one today from Dan Ellsberg

"Ethnic tension and sectarianism have become a major element in Iraqi politics since the US/UK invasion of 2003, a polarization of inter-group relations Iraqis had not known before. This explains much of the existing hideous crime including murder, kidnapping, property destruction and, most noteworthy, the deteriorating relationships between Baghdad and the three northern Kurdish governorates."

Fact versus fiction. Julie Levesque refutes Hollywood war propaganda
  1. "The motion picture has been used for propaganda since the beginning of the 20th century and Hollywood’s cooperation with the Department of Defense, the CIA and other government agencies is no modern trend."

  2. "The violence in America, or anywhere else, will never be substantially reduced until the reduction of meanness itself, not its various means, becomes the object of human action."

What the corporate-funded Hollywood propaganda machine counts on is that not only will the broad viewing public buy into its invented “truths”, but that in doing so the idea of war – in particular the absurd oxymoron of “humanitarian war” – will come to be increasingly accepted by a populace growing more and more numb to the violence being splashed across its screens.

Obama’s announcement this week of further government cutbacks (in the middle of a job crisis, no less) puts millions of people directly under the wheels of an economic steamroller that is being driven straight across the most vulnerable sectors of society.
“After destroying North Korea’s 78 cities and thousands of her villages, and killing countless numbers of her civilians, [General] LeMay remarked, “Over a period of three years or so we killed off – what – twenty percent of the population.”

‎"I wake up at night thinking, seeing the people's face, what are we gonna do as a people, as a whole and the future of our tribe? These BP people....none of these people live in our community. I'm furious with them, and many others because of the safety issues that weren't in place, because they don't have to face the elders, to see their eyes.

When we knew the oil was coming, I fished with my dad five days straight in a row. He was telling the grandkids the stories of when he was younger. The elders were apologizing to the young generation, the kids, for leaving this, they're not going to be able to help out, cause you know, these are older people and this is gonna be years and years before our water is safe. I have a hard time dealing with that." ~ Lora Ann Chaisson, Tribal Council of the United Houma Nation, reflecting on the impacts of the oil disaster and the future of her tribe.

Yes, something is badly wrong with this picture. It's been out of balance for decades, but the privatization of prisons is making it so much worse. Instead of our tax dollars going to educate our kids and grandkids, they are paying for cheap prison labor for corporations like Bank of America.
As long as there is injustice I will never be silent.
