When asked about the country, USAID chief Samantha Power (one of the architects of the Libya disaster) said that “every option is on the table” - a codeword for war.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken refused to rule out sends troops into Tigray when directly asked at the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
10 years ago, the US destroyed Libya, claiming that Gaddafi was about to commit a genocide.
Libya is now a failed state replete with Johadist-controlled slave markets.
Power and Susan Rice were key in peddling those lies.
Today, they're in an eerily similar position.
All the while, senior US military and government officials are demanding a "no fly zone" over Ethiopia or boots on the ground.
We know where that led in Libya.
Even more worryingly, media are covering up allegations of the use of child soldiers by the TPLF- in power 1991-2018.
Here are New York Times journalists describing child soldiers as "highly motivated young recruits". Look at who they're talking about!
While Ethiopia's conflict is clearly extremely bloody and the country does need help, Ethiopians should be aware that Washington's idea of "help" might not be the same as theirs.
[Thread] The OTF, the group that helps make so many of the net's favorite privacy apps, including Signal and Tor, is full of national security state plants.
@MintPressNews The OTF talks about Internet freedom a lot.
But when it comes down to it, their idea of "freedom" means the freedom for the US govt to spam people around the world with Radio Free Asia and Voice of America content.
@MintPressNews Every member of the OTF's board was a high-level govt functionary, including ambassadors, PNAC neocons and Iraq and Afghan war planners.
Is this really the sort of organization we can trust to make our privacy apps?
Is it really a coincidence that as soon as the US pulled out of Afghanistan, the domestic American heroin supply has dried up? 🤔🇦🇫
We know, for instance, that the CIA ran the crack trade in the 1980s, and even intentionally introduced it to black communities across the US, using the money to fund death squads in Latin America.
[Thread] My new @MintPressNews article analyzing Tulsi Gabbard's Metamorphosis from anti-war progressive to defending drone strikes on civilians on Fox News.
@MintPressNews In recent weeks, Tulsi has appeared almost daily on Fox News, where she has celebrated the Rittenhouse verdict and the GOP Virginia win, attacked Biden's "open door" borders and warned against the "far-left" Democrat Party pushing a "cradle to grave mentality of dependency."
@MintPressNews In the last month, she's appeared on Fox shows Tucker Carlson Tonight, Hannity, Gutfeld!, Neil Cavuto Live, Fox News Primetime, The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton, and Watters World. She hasn't appeared on any other network.
[Thread] Searching through 1000s of Defense Dept docs, I found that the US has sold over $28.3 billion in arms to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 since their attack on Yemen 🇾🇪 began. This includes 20 deals inked by the Biden admin.
In addition to the $28.3 billion, Saudi Arabia is also a named customer in $34 billion worth of additional deals with multiple recipients, meaning the upper bound for US ➡️ Saudi weapons sales could be as high as $63 billion since 2015.
Although Biden has cut back on the bonanza, he has still ok'd similar amounts as Trump did 2017-8, including orders for Black Hawk and Apache helicopters as well as cruise missiles and other bombs.
This, despite promising the US would end its involvement in the conflict.
LMAO. @NBCNews, that Cuban guy who you're claiming is "demanding basic freedoms" at an anti-government march is literally the President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel. 🇨🇺🤣
The US tried (and failed) to foment a revolution in Cuba on Monday, with barely anyone turning up. I guess they really had to improvise with their coverage 😂
[Thread] My new @MintPressNews investigation reveals the depth to which Bill Gates is funding our media. The Gates Foundation has spent at least $319 million sponsoring press around the world, including NPR, NBC, CNN, The Guardian, the FT, the BBC, PBS... mintpressnews.com/documents-show…
The Gates Foundation also sponsors a myriad of investigative journalism bureaus, press associations, and pays for reporters around the world to be trained.
Is this purely altruistic? Hardly. These outlets are generally funded to promote causes Gates believes in, some of which (such as chater schools) are highly controversial.
