How The Media Helps The Police LAUNDER Their Reputation!!!

Georgia Fort breaks down how the media helps the police demonize perfectly innocent people, and maintain a narrative that the cops can do no wrong. They tell us who to hate, who to trust, who to even vote for. There is a reason why many people no longer trust the news. The Benjamin Dixon Show is a progressive morning show and podcast covering news and commentary from a progressive perspective. Cautiously idealistic yet reasonably pragmatic. Black Liberation is Black Excellence. The live show, which also encompasses On The Clock w/Georgia Fort & Like It Or Not, streams daily Monday-Friday 8 am ET- 10 am ET. The Podcast is available daily on all major platforms.

Why Leaders Lie: The Truth About Lying in International Politics with John Mearsheimer

Countries rarely lie to each other. (Hitler is an exception)
Countries more often lie to their own people.
Mainstream media isn’t interested in ferreting out the Truth.

  • Presidents lie to get the country into unjustified wars. (Vietnam & Iraq)
  • The countries that fearmonger most are democracies. (United States)

 

John Mearsheimer, professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, provides the first systematic analysis of lying as a tool of statecraft. He identifies the varieties, the reasons, and the potential costs and benefits, arguing that leaders often lie for good strategic reasons, while distinguishing between lying to another state and lying to one’s own people.

John Mearsheimer is also the co-director of the Program on International Security Policy at the University of Chicago and has written extensively about security issues and international politics.

The World Beyond the Headlines is a project of the Center for International Studies, which brings scholars, journalists, and world leaders to the University to discuss issues of current global importance.

Did the CIA Actually Sell Crack in the 1980s? | The War On Drugs

The rumours have circulated for decades. Did the CIA flood the inner cities of the US with crack cocaine in the 1980s? Was the American government actually responsible for the crack epidemic?

Often dismissed as a conspiracy theory, but passionately believed by huge sections of the population – the idea that US intelligence agencies knowingly protected drug traffickers and played a role in bringing cocaine into the US is one of the most often repeated stories of the War on Drugs.

But what is the truth to these allegations? It turns out the real story is perhaps even stranger than the street-level gossip.

This is how one reporter exposed a web of CIA cover-ups, and how the rest of the media destroyed him for doing so.
