Disinformation, Absolutely
Patrick Lawrence | ScheerPost - TRANSCEND Media Service,
7 Nov 2022
1 Nov 2022 – This is what our public discourse has come to. We in the USA have made a nonsense of ourselves. Our troubled republic sounds like an indecipherable cacophony amid which anything we say can be turned to mean other than what we mean. When we come across anyone who thinks differently than we do, we simply call him or her a disseminator of disinformation, a liar, and nothing more need be said.

Why US Hegemony Is Incompatible with a ‘Rules-Based International Order’
Sam Fraser | Quincy Institute/Responsible Statecraft - TRANSCEND Media Service,
31 Oct 2022
“It is clear that, going forward, the laudable goal of creating a global order based on international law and mutually agreeable rules of conduct is incompatible with U.S. hegemony — or for that matter, the hypothetical hegemony of any other power. Any state possessing a preponderance of power will, as the U.S. has, reject external restraints on that power. Any “rules-based order” put forward by a hegemon will be wielded in service of hegemony, not the other way around.”

30 Oct 2022 – The rapid escalation of online censorship, and increasingly offline censorship, cannot be overstated. The silencing tactic that has most commonly provoked attention and debate is the banning of particular posts or individuals by specific social media platforms.

The War in Ukraine: Made in Washington Not Moscow
Mike Whitney | Global Research - TRANSCEND Media Service,

No American president would allow a potential adversary to deploy their nuclear missiles to sites along the Mexican-American border. The risks to national security would be far-too great.
