My film I WAS A PAID PROPAGANDIST is an OFFICIAL SELECTION at the International Film Festival The Hague -- a festival held in the city that prosecutes war crimes. The film shows war criminal rehabilitation campaigns running today and the battle over historical memory. www.iwasapaidpropagandist.com

Republican Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut speaks out: "My Republican colleagues decided to spend time today patting themselves on the back for a job well-done on the economy. The same one the President tanked with his tariffs...and war with Iran...and massive tax cuts for the wealthy."

2003: NYT sold the Iraq war, apologized in a footnote. 2025: same playbook on Iran. Only 16% of Americans bought it. Bombs fell anyway. That's not manufacturing consent. Names already exist for it. Essay link in thread #mediacriticism #iran #propaganda #foreignpolicy

Bomb first, caption later. In 2003 the NYT manufactured consent for Iraq, apologized in a footnote. In 2025 the same playbook ran on Iran. This time only 16% of Americans bought it. Bombs fell anyway. open.substack.com/pub/joetripi... #mediacriticism #iran #propaganda #foreignpolicy

While America's health care is eroding, this administration decides to invade Venezuela, with no clear plan on "running the country" and without the Venezuelans having a say about the future of their nation. Did someone say "quagmire"?
