Alanna Hartzok - TRANSCEND Media Service,
11 Dec 2023

Robert Reich – TRANSCEND Media Service,
4 Dec 2023
30 Nov 2023 – Henry Kissinger has died, at the age of 100. In my humble opinion, he should have been considered a war criminal.

Media’s Fatal Compromises
Patrick Lawrence | Consortium News - TRANSCEND Media Service,
4 Dec 2023
28 Nov 2023 – The practice of “embedding” struck me as a repellent compromise with power. It is no longer enough to tether correspondents to the perspective of the military from whose side they report. We are on the way to huge, bloody, consequential wars fought without any witnesses.

On Tue 31 Oct 2023, Israel bombed a Palestinian refugee camp with 100,000 inhabitants, producing a hellscape of casualties, buildings in collapse and a massive bomb crater to kill just one single Hamas commander.
