caitlin always seems to excel at hitting nails squarely upon their heads and does so here speaking about a journalist quitting nbc for all of the right reasons;
A journalist with NBC has resigned from the network with a statement which highlights the immense resistance that ostensibly liberal mass media outlets have to antiwar narratives, skepticism of US military agendas, and any movement in the opposite direction of endless military expansionism.
“January 4 is my last day at NBC News and I’d like to say goodbye to my friends, hopefully not for good,” begins an email titled ‘My goodbye letter to NBC’ sent to various contacts by William M Arkin, an award-winning journalist who has been associated with the network for 30 years.
“This isn’t the first time I’ve left NBC, but this time the parting is more bittersweet, the world and the state of journalism in tandem crisis,” the email continues. “My expertise, though s

when trump said we're leaving syria i was amazed and pleased as we have no business being the world's police force, and then he began to waffle which the following writer speaks to;
Yes, it’s possible that President Trump will follow through with his announcement that he’s going to pull out all U.S. troops from Syria. Just don’t bet the farm on it. Already Trump has shifted from pulling out the troops immediately to pulling them out four months from now. No one should be surprised if, four months from now, he comes up with a reason for keeping them there even longer.
After all, don’t forget that last October Trump promised to release those JFK records that the CIA has been keeping secret for 55 years, on grounds of “national security” of course. The day before the deadline for release, Trump declared that he was going to follow through with his promise to release the long-secret records. The next day — the day of the deadline — Trump announced that he was granting the CIA’s request to extend the time for secrecy for another three years. It was a testament to the power of the CIA and the rest of the national-security establishment.
Now, I don’t mean to rain on the parade of those who are celebrating Trump’s supposed rebirth of non-interventionism. But there are two factors at work here that need to be emphasized: One, Trump is clearly not a non-interventionist and, two, the enormous power of the national-security establishment to bend U.S. presidents into complying with its will.
It’s true that during his presidential campaign, Trump criticized the interventions into which the U.S. government has embroiled our nation on a permanent basis — Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and elsewhere.
But let’s not forget what happened after Trump was elected. He kept troops in Iraq. He expanded troop levels in Afghanistan. He expanded troops in Syria. He’s also got troops killing and dying in Africa...........https://www.fff.org/2019/01/02/its-too-soon-to-celebrate-trumps-syria-withdrawal/

i've been sending 'letters to the editor' of our local fishwrap since it was a paper version and he's keep printing/publishing my words since then. here is one he published today and its notable as he's the only editor i've seen who will publish anything opposing israel, which makes him somewhat brave in my mind. the rest of this is at the link below;
Dear Editor,
Once, an anti-Semite was someone who hated Jews but today it’s pasted on anyone who speaks truth about Israel, especially its policies involving the Palestinians. Virtually nothing is left of Palestine except the Gaza ghetto, the modern equivalent of the Warsaw Ghetto: Moving anyone or anything in and out is controlled by Israel. In its effort to control the justification of their crimes, the Israel Lobby has made “anti-Semite” into an honorable position. We’re all potential Palestinians. ‘Consumers’ don’t know that Israel’s government confiscates entire Palestinian villages and demolishes Palestinian homes to build homes for Israelis.
Stories are planted in your head by ‘our free press’ and schools that make no room for exploration of other possibilities filling you with that programming allowing no conflicting information access.
Since 1967 about 40% of the adult male Palestinian population has been jailed by Israel at one time or another, while Israeli ‘settlers’ go wild on Palestinians protected by Israel’s police and army as they attack Palestinians at random and systematically destroy their livelihoods. They’re rarely arrested and, if they are, they’re tried in Israeli civil courts where they’re nearly always acquitted. The Jim Crow south treated its black citizens better. This situation would be unimaginable nearly anywhere else in the world but Israel gets away with it due to a sympathetic Jewish dominated media and politicians worldwide that are easily bought or coerced.
International laws are regularly violated in the horrific treatment of the Palestinians but Israel continues to act freely. Israel’s theft of Palestinian land is illegal and has been frequently condemned by the UN. America refuses to call the brutal Israeli military occupation what it is. America serves as Israel’s protector in the U.N. and elsewhere, enabling Israel’s crimes..........https://www.hcpress.com/letters-to-the-editor/letters-israel-these-days.html
