In the media wing of the U.S. military-industrial complex, The Atlantic magazine hosts the loudest team of cheerleaders of war. Using their online archive, you could see that from the first issue in 1857 to the current publications the magazine preserves an old pamphleteering spirit capable of waking up any nest of hornets, as Mark Twain put it in the immortal short story “Journalism in Tennessee.”

The Fallacy Of Tying The Occupation To Israel’s Security

Author: 

The opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state by many Israelis is based on national security concerns, which presumably offers a justification for the continuing occupation. The truth is that the occupation itself—not a Palestinian state—poses the gravest danger to Israel’s security

Miracles take place for love.

Author: 

It's the real story.

"I can't be proud unless I'm fortunate enough to marry your friend." My colleague Bikal spoke, kindling a cigarette while he was sitting by the balcony one night. "You're in Kathmandu." Is she going to protect her youth for you here in the village? "I smiled at him and told him."

Get Mad About Nuclear Madness

Author: 

https://worldbeyondwar.org/get-mad-about-nuclear-madness/ By David Swanson, September 24, 2022 Remarks in Seattle on September 24, 2022 at https://abolishnuclearweapons.org I am so sick and tired of wars.

Riotsville

Author: 

By David Swanson https://davidswanson.org/riotsville/ A preview of the film “Riotsville” is here. There’s a good review of the film here, and another here. In the late 1960s, the U.S. military built a fake town called Riotsville (or a fake “inner city” actually) on the Fort Belvoir base in Virginia, and then another at Fort Gordon in Georgia — the same state where the Atlanta police are now working on the construction of an enlarged, updated, high-tech Riotsville commonly called “Cop City.”

And of course, the government, the media like before, exists too. Each of these kinds of media, are used news and profit points of view for the respective interests of the controller or investor.
