Given the preliminary warning about a quick military crime, a former Iraq war fans decided that his scoop was his priority.
Employees protest the history of this magazine. I remember, especially, a small, unstable objection to the reaction that raised a great, though unintentional question. Two women from the business side, who watched the costs and considered editors asking for more than one pencil as Profligate, had a complaint. They are tired: on the pages on which they prevail proxy -ariAllied tyrants, US abuse from Sabra and Shatyla to Central America and South Africa’s field murders, etc. That’s the case NationThey said; It should cover the nation.
Their word game remains provocative. In the imperial state, with the power projection everywhere On Earth, what is the “nation”?
Probably not only the people or the country, the Liberal Earth’s aspirations, or even the illusion that inspired the name of the magazine in 1865. You can love that Mongrell, a damaged country; Nation is something else: full blood, military machine in imperial order and fantasy-material reality with which everyone agrees. If it weren’t, life expectancy would be “National Security” Crisis: the lowest among the rich countries (worse than the northern Marian); below for black people (compared to Guatemala); Still for relatives (comparable to eritrea). As is, the nation ignores human uncertainty or enhances it. For journalists, Emperia presents a choice: you are an agent of a military machine or a witness of humanity.
“The biggest story of the year” illustrates the problem. Sitting in the parking lot on March 15, Jeffrey Goldberg of Atlantic made your choice long before. He was in advance a man for one war crime by pushing Iraq, armed weapon from the lies of the lies After September 11; He now had a preliminary warning about another on his phone. In two hours, the United States will start bombing Yemen. No one in the chat of Signal Group demanded an inevitable threat and even discussed the delay. It was before board for aggression – the supreme crime according to international law so that we do not forget.
However, Goldberg’s concern was national security. When he entered the building of his girlfriend; He fell apart with everyone inside – and will die. Goldberg left the chat, still thinking about national secrets, but he had a story. Neither he nor the media fans described the signaling scorers and their vigor as lawless psychopaths. (Tulsi Gabbard: “Great work and consequences!”) In Atlantic The lampic session, the subscribers asked where Goldberg visited the 15th. In the television speeches I saw no one addressed the attacks with The goal of the Hussites To tighten the US/Israel genocide in Gaza. Nobody asked, “If you thought you were obliged to disrupt your country’s death plans?”
The question would be rhetorical. What is worse seems incredible. The editor with the high -level audience had two hours to cause anxiety relatively rapid war crime. He was declared fear for the safety of US troops-tanks, given the 36,000 dead or wounded soldiers who he waved in the Iraqi meat grinder in the fact that the US troops have no intelligence and plans in the event of emergencies. Perhaps the resonance would not justify the planes. We will never know. A month en Atlantic The crew was in the White House. The President congratulated Goldberg: “You have succeeded, and it has become a great story … You got it a lot for the public.” Next, Trump will be traced to him.
Current Issue
Nation It has long believed that the publication is a tool for showing a nation. When we turned International Law Many, it was not because people would win their release through it, but because, as Craig Mohiber, an international human rights lawyer, speaks of the duty to resist the genocide: “This is the struggle, and any tools we can use.” History is a tool. These days, when so many peaceful conversations were corrupt, I remember Alexander Kokbern, who causes the US transactions in Central America and quoting Kolgacus about the Romans: “They do devastation and call it peace.”
After all our “peace” for Central America cross -section of the borderAnd now the nation is fighting against a favorite country -mongrela.
In 1960, six months before the bay of pigs, Nation It was reported that the CIA coached counter -revolutionaries “for possible landing in Cuba.” Editor Kerry Makvilles called for a greater foot of the press to investigate and pressure the society to force the “administration to abandon this dangerous and Zaetsky project”. Some newspapers continued; Some closed their stories; The New York Times trimmed his sail On the role of the CIA. After Cuba hit US proxies, President John F. Kennedy entrusted Term A person who can “save us from a tremendous mistake”. McWilliams was more wise: the press is doing its job, so the pressure on society can also.
The empire shoots every American – privilege, knowing that we are unlikely to bomb here, while the nation that accepts our name, which is free to want on others around the world. Fifty years ago, Vietnamese people taught the empire what it means to lose, and taught the country, through the movement of peace- and especially anti-war GIS could be obtained from resistance, not from housing. This is some coincidence of the anniversaries.
