The Duran
So much in U.S.-&-allied ‘news’-reports about foreign affairs (such as regarding its coups and invasions and sanctions against ‘authoritarian’ Governments in order to “regime-change” them) is false or misleading, so that it took years for their deceived readers and viewers to recognize that there were no “WMD in Iraq,” and decades to recognize that the invasion/occupation of Vietnam had actually been based upon lies and cover-ups by the Government and by its stenographic ’news’(-propaganda)-media. As a result, the question as to whether the real (or the worse) “authoritarian” Government has been actually the U.S. regime itself — the regime that has committed after 1945 far more international war-crimes than all other Governments in the world combined have done. This is a question that no U.S.-&-allied ‘news’-media investigate, because none of them will hire any journalist who does.
Consequently, in order for any of them to keep their jobs, they are required to buy into the U.S.-and-allied ideology, which is neoliberalism/neoconservatism, which says:
“However bad our side is, the other side — that of any Government that mine is seeking to overthrow and replace — is even worse; and, so, it’s okay to derive one’s income from a corrupt and evil Governing system, because that is necessary in order to fight against and (hopefully) replace ones that are even worse.”
An excellent example of this mentality (actually ideology) is Jonathan Guyer’s December 16th “This DC party invite shows all the money to be made off the Ukraine war: A Ukrainian Embassy reception, sponsored by America’s biggest weapons makers”, which threw in a key sentence of that obligatory type: “As Ukraine fights a defensive war against Russia’s brutal invasion, Ukrainians in Washington have been pushing for the US to send Ukraine more weapons,” in order to make this armament-controlled Government seem to be obligatory in order for the lesser-evil U.S. Government to be able to win its wars and overthrow and replace such greater-evil leaders as Vladimir Putin (formerly this had been: Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Bashar al-Assad, Viktor Yanukovych, etc.).
