Remembering Madeleine Albright

James Zogby: My first dealings with Albright were at the 1988 Dem convention. She tried to dissuade me from introducing a pro-Palestinian plank into the platform. I represented the Rev. Jesse Jackson, while she represented the Dem nominee, Dukakis… The Dukakis campaign did not want the “P-word” in the platform or even have the matter discussed in a public forum…. In the late 1980s, ‘for the first time’, Albright noticed that her State Department ‘peace team’ was almost all Jewish…

Dr. Henry Kissinger: The Myth of the Great Statesman

Greenwald: False narrative about Orlando shooting shows the power of media propaganda

Politicians & activists should stop ratifying the fiction that the shooter was motivated by anti-LGBT hatred. It dishonors the victims, purveys anti-Muslim misinformation, and obscures the real motive. Mateen, like so many others who committed similar acts of violence, was motivated by rage over Obama’s bombing campaigns in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan that killed multitudes of men, women, and children.
