Our fearless media watchdogs still maintaining complete blackout on @OPCW whistleblower leaks debunking WMD attack in Douma. The leaks show that Trump—like Dubya— used fake WMDs to bomb Arab country—then strong-armed @OPCW to cover up the lies.
@OPCW Our media behaving more like co-conspirators suppressing fake WMD story which they were complicit in spreading (and cheering Trump's bombing campaign in response to the fake WMDs)—than like watchdogs defending public from government lies. Hardly the first time, or the last.
This Alexander Cockburn quote on “loyal and obedient” media who “behave like most well-fed and prosperous watchdogs, fast asleep in their kennels”

In 1975, Jesse Helms & the US far-right attacked President Ford for refusing to meet with Solzhenitsyn. Ford considered Solzhenitsyn to be a "horse's ass" & far-right crank.
Today, Buzzfeed is channeling old Jesse Helms to attack Sanders. Demented.
Somehow buzzfeed cites Solzhenitsyn's AFL-CIO speeches & Harvard speech—without describing the batshit contents: Solzhenitsyn denounced the US withdrawal from Vietnam War, detente, Hollywood movies, liberal media, even Angela Davis. Somehow Sanders is supposed to honor this.

In the 1950s, Britain herded Kenya's entire Kikuyu population — nearly 1.5 million people — into concentration camps & subjected them to savage torture, rape & terror.
"There was 'forced sodomy with broken bottles and vermin and snakes and just horrific, horrific things'"—Caroline Elkins, one of the rare brave US academics. Her book Imperial Reckoning broke 50 yrs silence about Britain's Gulag archipelago in Kenya

"we have plenty of evidence that the systematized violence that happened in Kenya was honed and brought throughout the empire, from Palestine to Malaya to Kenya to Cyprus to Aden to Northern Ireland."

The three leading DC advocates for Venezuela regime-change happen to be Koch Cartel's three stooges: Rubio, Pence, Pompeo.

As @yashalevine wrote, for many years chavismo socialism fattened up Koch Cartel profits. A portion of those profits were invested in the careers of anti-socialist hacks like Rubio, Pence, Pompeo + their anti-socialist libertarian think-tank toadies exiledonline.com/bond-markets-p…
As for Koch Cartel's 3 stooges pushing Venezuela regime change:

Thread on findings by a recent Courage Foundation panel on the #OPCW investigation of last year's #Douma incident, whose members are "unanimous in expressing our alarm over unacceptable practices in the investigation of the alleged chemical attack". #Syria
wikileaks.org/opcw-douma/
Now for the record this isn't some congregation of conspiracy theorists or political partisans. Panelists include former OPCW Inspector General José Bustani, whose work with Saddam was so good that John Bolton threatened his kids to end his peacemongering.
theintercept.com/2018/03/29/joh…
Quote from Bustani on the OPCW report on Douma. Again, this isn't some schmuck, this is a former OPCW Director General (erroneously called him "Inspector General" above) about the "very disturbing" picture exposed by the OPCW whistleblower's presentation:

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
