The U.S. of apartheid in a nutshell, “makes a statement to the effect that we should be making decisions based on right versus wrong (and then votes for genocide), then whoever votes for such a lying fuck has just screwed Right for wrong.”

Thanks for posting this, Sean.

As you have indicated, you don’t escape the two party political prison by continuing to vote for them, or worse not voting at all. The piles of dead bodies that have been accumulating since the US colonial project began in 1776, and the current mass of dead bodies being counted in the Palestine and Ukraine conflicts are the ultimate red line for me. Enough with the political theater.

In the article you scorched NPR for its silence on the Palestinian genocide. NPR has been a war propaganda tool for the US from its inception and receives funding from congress. For them to claim to be independent is just a lie.

For those who may not know the history, congress passes the Public Broadcasting Act in 1967 and creates the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which spins off 2nd entity called the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). PBS gains control of an already exiting government radio producer called the National Education Radio Network which had been around since 1961 and changes the name to National Public Radio in 1971.

The former state department official and US Colonialism chronicler William Blum writes about those at the head of these government created and funded entities in 2005. Kevin Klose was the president of NPR at the time. He was “the former head of all the major, worldwide US government broadcast propaganda outlets, including Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, and the anti-Castro Radio Marti, which broadcast into Cuba from Florida. NPR, it can be said, has never met an American war it didn't like. It was inspired to describe the war in Yugoslavia as Clinton's, 'most significant foreign policy success.' And Robert Coonrod - from 1997-2004 was the head of the congressionally created Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds over 1000 public television and radio stations nationwide - has a resume remarkably similar to that of Klose, from Voice of America to Radio Marti. " (Blum, Rouge State, 2005, pg12)
