Why aren’t we seeing these \u201cvictories,\u201d on our TV nightly news? Let’s celebrate \u201cour\u201d \u201cvictories.\u201d<\/p>\n

After all, this is the new nazi Amerika, doing our thing. But, who, then, are<\/em> “we”? And who are \u201cthey\u201d?<\/p>\n

JOHN KERRY made it clear (“at the Atlantic Council’s ‘Toward a Europe Whole and Free’ Conference,”<\/a>\u00a029 April 2014):<\/p>\n

“The Russians have a clear choice: Leave Ukraine in peace and work with\u00a0us together to create a strong Ukraine, a\u00a0Ukraine that is not a pawn,\u00a0pulled and tugged at between East and West, but a Ukraine that could be a\u00a0bridge to both,\u00a0with the ability to have an open trading mechanism on\u00a0all degrees, 360 around Ukraine. And whatever path they choose, I\u00a0can\u00a0guarantee this: The United States and our allies will stand together in\u00a0support of Ukraine.”<\/p>\n

SO: that’s what this is all about? Really? Well, anyway, that statement by our Secretary of State got covered\u00a0in the Washington Post<\/em><\/a>, so it must be authentically newsworthy. After all: it made clear who \u201cour\u201d \u201cenemy\u201d is. It\u2019s those \u201cterrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rest of these news stories? They’re not newsworthy at all — at least not in this country, according to the aristocrats who make the ultimate editorial decisions on such matters. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t get to see that<\/em> end of this war on our TVs.<\/p>\n

Just too boring, perhaps. Not like a speech by John Kerry. Or Barack Obama. Or John McCain.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t propaganda thrilling! It\u2019s so patriotic!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s applaud! And throw more money\u00a0at destroying<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0bad guys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the ones that survive, we\u2019re planning\u00a0concentration camps<\/a>. And\u00a0so forth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll win<\/em> this thing!<\/p>\n
