I sometimes think that some executive came up with the idea of getting perfectly reasonable people to behave like imbeciles as a wager — and then everyone forgot to remove the requirement.

"When did the so-called West first begin to lose standing in the eyes of the rest of the world? Why is the British #media class positioned so uniquely close to power, so delusional, and so compromised over #Gaza? Will China replace America, in the coming century, as the new hegemonic power? Has it already?"

The First Casualty
They told you Iran's missiles were being swatted from the sky. They told you the Iron Dome was holding, the Patriot batteries were working, US and Israeli air power was surgical and winning. They told you this on the ABC. They told you this on Sky. They were telling you nonsense. MIT Professor Ted Postol — the man who proved the Patriot missile failed in the Gulf War while presidents were claiming a 97 percent success rate — has now established that current intercept rates against Iranian missiles run at a few percent at most. The systems are depleting. The decoys are multiplying. The official story is, in his own carefully chosen word, a fraud. The first casualty of war is truth. But the deeper insight, the one Phillip Knightley identified fifty years ago, is that the lies are not random. They serve purposes. And right now, they are serving purposes that Australians have every right to examine. -
"No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page."

People say we’re on the verge of World War III.
That assumes war still looks like declarations, borders, and body counts.
What if we’re already inside it?
Not a kinetic war, but a systemic one—fought through platforms, finance, infrastructure, and narrative control. Less WWII, more Crusades: algorithms as doctrine, visibility as salvation.

“We put targets on our colleagues. We undermined #Palestinians and Palestinian voices. We contributed to dehumanising them. We, I became complicit."

"[P]lenty of #journalists have continued to cover #Israel’s assault on #Gaza. The explicit problem for Friedman is that they are not ‘international journalists’. The implicit problem is that they are Palestinian – or ‘local’ – journalists. [...]
"When ‘international journalists’ relay unfounded Israeli allegations against #PalestinianJournalists, they are legitimating murder."
