[Thread] The Washington Post presents itself as an adversarial newspaper.

But it consistently defends the interests of the wealthy and powerful (including its owner Jeff Bezos).

My new @MintPressNews piece:

mintpressnews.com/jeff-bezos-at-…
The Post's editorial board has consistently taken strongly conservative, elitist positions on virtually every major issue, including some of these all-time hot takes:
Unsurprisingly, the newspaper owned by the world's richest man has consistently opposed taxing the rich. I'm sure that's just a coincidence though.

(Thread) Why did Reddit appoint a hawkish director of a NATO cutout organization to become its Director of Policy?

My new @MintPressNews investigation into a very suspicious hiring.

mintpressnews.com/jessica-ashooh…
Jessica Ashooh spent years at the Atlantic Council, the organizational brains of NATO. There, she crafted its Middle East policy.

Ashooh spent much of her time liasing with "moderate rebels" in Syria and devising ways to overthrow the Assad government.
Ashooh has virtually zero relevant experience for a social media company.

But her hire did coincide with a number of other eyebrow-raising moves that saw national security officials take key positions at major social media companies.

Thread: My new @MintPressNews investigation into King's College London's Department of War Studies and how the notorious spy school is churning out many of the world's most influential journalists.

mintpressnews.com/spy-school-kin…
Last month, CNN Jerusalem Bureau Chief Andrew Carey sent a message to staffers to always remind readers that Palestinian health facilities are run by Hamas, almost legitimizing them as a target.

Carey is 1 of dozens of influential journos who graduated from the War Studies dept.
The Dept. of War Studies is already infamous for churning out intelligence agents for various 3-letter agencies.

But it also produces another, more troubling product: journalists.

(Thread) My new @MintPressNews investigation into how Israeli weapons, technology mercenaries and trainers are fueling the repression of nationwide protests in 🇨🇴 Colombia:

mintpressnews.com/birds-fascist-…
Israeli companies supply all branches of the 🇨🇴 military and police with their main rifles, while Israeli armored cars and drones are countering the protests. IDF and 🇮🇱 mercenaries also train Colombia's military and paramilitaries using tactics they devised oppressing Gazans.
The Colombian military are proud of their connections to their Israeli brothers

This is what happens when a whole section of your newspaper is sponsored by Bill Gates.
This tweet's blowing up so I'm promoting my latest article. I spoke with Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges and others to figure out why the public conversation on Israel/Palestine has changed all of a sudden.
