18 June 16
I'm in my sixties, and I remember what it was like to trust the news media. With corporate-controlled media now, those days are gone.
I think it's essential to have a reliable source of information about what's happening on this planet. That's why I give every month to RSN. It's a lot for me, and I'd rather not spend the money, but I believe that the information that RSN provides is worth it.
I hope other people do too.
Thank you.

Andrew Cockburn | The Pentagon's Real $trategy: Keeping the Money Flowing
Andrew Cockburn, TomDispatch
Cockburn writes: "These days, lamenting the apparently aimless character of Washington's military operations in the Greater Middle East has become conventional wisdom among administration critics of every sort. Senator John McCain thunders that 'this president has no strategy to successfully reverse the tide of slaughter and mayhem' in that region. Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies bemoans the 'lack of a viable and public strategy.' Andrew Bacevich suggests that 'there is no strategy. None. Zilch.'"

Omar Mateen and the Extremist Formula
Greg Shupak, Jacobin
Shupak writes: "The abominable massacre in Orlando made absolutely clear that transphobia and homophobia remain major problems in Western society. The killer, Omar Mateen, was a Muslim, and so the atrocity is unsurprisingly being weaponized against Muslims, revealing how pervasive Islamophobia is in the United States as well."
