You can put a key on their forehead, it sticks. You can put spoons and forks all over and they can stick because now we think there is a metal piece to that.” Fortunately, the science of magnetism has been extraordinarily well-understood for over 150 years.

Meanwhile, the United States hardens a cruel and illegal blockade of the island, a medieval siege that has been in place for six decades.

If media contribute to agenda-setting and the framing of issues in public discourse, then patterns of media representation constitute a significant arena in their own right. The most fundamental distinction in the Peace Journalism model is whether a conflict is reported in a “violence-oriented” manner, in “restricted space and time”, as a series of big bangs – or, on the other hand, “peace and conflict-oriented”, investigating “the formation of the conflict”, with “causes and solutions looked for everywhere, also in history and culture”.

If they’re technically allies, protests tend to be portrayed as illegitimate. Hence the dilemma in Colombia. As protests erupt on the streets of a longtime U.S. ally, the Biden administration and the American media wait to see whose side they’re on.

8 Jul 2021 – United States warmakers have become so skilled at propaganda that not only can they wage a war of aggression without arousing protest; they can also compel liberals to denounce peace activists using language reminiscent of the McCarthy era.

Richard E. Rubenstein | Centro Studi Sereno Regis - TRANSCEND Media Service,
12 Jul 2021
Per risolvere il conflitto fra propugnatori e oppositori della Teoria Critica sulla Razza, perciò pare che bisogni procedere in due fasi. La prima immediata e la seconda più a lungo termine. Subito, la teoria dev’essere riformulata in termini comprensibili ai non-accademici chiarendo che il nodo della teoria non è condannare i bianchi per la loro razza o eredità culturale oppure impancarsi a giudizio finale sull’America. Si tratta invece di dimostrare le fonti strutturali delle idee e prassi più benefiche e più distruttive dell’America, e la necessitàdi cambiamenti risoluti in un sistema che genera tali profonde contraddizioni.

12 Jul 2021
7 Jul 2021 – US troops pulled out of the sprawling Bagram Air Base at three in the morning last Friday [2 Jul], without notifying the Afghan government forces meant to replace them, and cutting off the power on the way out, an act that triggered an invasion of the base by a small army of looters.
