“TRUMP KILLED PUBLIC WAR RESEARCH. STARGATE WILL MAKE IT SECRET—AND FAR MORE DANGEROUS”

by Kit Klarenberg in Mint Press News

“Days after a #Pentagon spokesperson celebrated the work of Elon Musk’s DOGE, the Minerva Initiative—an influential research program—was killed without fanfare. No mainstream outlet covered it.

“As The Gaza Agenda Moves Forward, The Imperial Narrative Shifts With It”

by Caitlin Johnstone in Caitlin’s Newsletter on Substack

@palestine
@israel

“And it’s just so surreal how the narrative is changing now that the agenda has moved from destroying Gaza to ethnically cleansing it. It’s requiring some real Orwellian doublethink revisionism”

Archived NYT link.

"When I walk away from this experience, one of the things that is most alarming to me is just how easy it is to actually control people. It doesn’t take secret police. It doesn’t take guns. It doesn’t take gulags. The reality is that if you have the ability to overwhelm the media ecosystem with lies, you make the cost of engaging in public debate so high that it becomes an existential one."
