"I’ve seen the damage from war in Syria and Iraq. But that happened gradually, one neighborhood or street at a time. This was an entire city destroyed in a few minutes."

A MintPress News investigation from @AlanRMacLeod delves into this murky relationship.Image
Cohen once casually revealed that his movie, Brüno, was made with the help of the CIA. Image

🧵Activision Blizzard’s new video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has some seriously problematic aspects, not least the dehumanization of Arabs. It is set in Iraq, where players kill Iraqi combat forces and pursue Saddam Hussein. Previous Call of Duty games have glorified the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and Cuba’s Fidel Castro.

This targeting of America’s enemies is no coincidence. The game’s developer, Activision Blizzard, work closely with the US military and the US national security state to create the games. Furthermore, top Activision Blizzard executives are former CIA operatives.Image

🧵Journalists in the United Kingdom have suffered an increasing number of attacks from the British state. Earlier this month, Electronic Intifada’s Asa Winstanley was detained by police in a dawn raid on his home. Ten counter-terrorism police stormed his house and stole his electronic devices, presumably in an attempt to monitor his communications.

Winstanley is the latest in a series of prominent pro-Palestine figures detained by police, including Richard Medhurst, Sarah Wilkinson, Craig Murray and Julian Assange.

MintPress fills you in on the details of this worrying development.Image

🧵The twelve-month Israeli attack on Gaza could not be sustained without the unwavering support of corporate media in the West.

Since October 7, Western media have pulled out all the stops to ensure the public does not see the reality of what is happening in Gaza.

In this series of slides, MintPress explains nine common tactics big media outlets use to manufacture public consent for Israeli actions against its neighbors, highlighting some egregious examples on the way.Image
Using the passive voice when describing Israeli attacks. Image

MintPress lays out eight companies with extremely close ties to Israeli intelligence.Image
