I can no longer not be a supporter. The work done here is consistently outstanding. I must say that other options should be given to people who cannot afford a monthly or yearly fee.

This article shows the power of propaganda, we Americans are especially vulnerable to it because we are the heaviest propagandized society that has ever existed and we don't know it.

How could a person do what this young man did and feel no remorse? Propaganda poisoned his mind and he will suffer the rest of his life because he clearly now knows what a monstrous thing he did.

We Americans are the same as this man, we will realize one day that we were monstrously silent because we did not see through the propaganda. First thing to do is turn the corporate tv "news" off and support independent journalist like this one.

Hey there, thanks for your support! Greatly appreciated.

And about the options, Substack does not give us many possibilities. But I'll look into it further.

About this American. You'll be surprised at the lack of remorse among many war criminals. Many greatly enjoy the absolute impunity to do with the victims what they want. I have seen interviews with 90 year old Nazis who still miss the good old days and have no remorse whatsoever.

Rotting in jail may have some effect, like with the guy above. But I think the vast majority of the Israelis who were part of the brutal 20 year long occupation of Lebanon where they did the most horrible things to the locals (forcing parents to rape their daughters, bestiality, child sexual abuse, torture) have no issue with it whatsoever. Probably they're currently supporting the genocide of the Palestinians, if they're still alive.
