Loading ...Three Illuminating Quotes About The War In Ukraine
Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, and Chris Hedges have lent their expertise to the subject of the war in Ukraine with some recent comments that help bring some much-needed clarity to an often confusing and always contentious issue.
“I’ve spent my career working in the mainstream, and I’ve covered probably seven, eight, nine shooting wars; I’ve never seen coverage so utterly consumed by a tsunami of jingoism, and of manipulative jingoism as this one.”
~ John Pilger
“It’s quite interesting that in American discourse, it is almost obligatory to refer to the invasion as the ‘unprovoked invasion of Ukraine’. Look it up on Google, you will find hundreds of thousands of hits. Of course, it was provoked. Otherwise they wouldn’t refer to it all the time as an unprovoked invasion.”
~ Noam Chomsky
“At no time, including the Cuban missile crisis, have we stood closer to the precipice of nuclear war.”
~ Chris Hedges

Three old lefties who wasted their lives denouncing freedom and free enterprise in all it’s forms, demanding more and more government to rid the world of every evil known to man, and now claim to be horrified at the oppressive, dictatorial and warlike tendencies of – you guessed it – big government. Get used to it. The douchebags of totalitarianism will now attempt to dismount from the horrific beast they rode in on, leaving us with the task of slaying the beast first, and wrestling with those selfsame greased pigs next. Alas, it must be done!
