Hmmmmmmm......
Good read. I can tell Mr. Harari doesn't have much respect for the complicit Mainstream Mediots. I wonder why.
Dr. Harari's essay is indeed worth reading. I read it again about every 3-6 months.
We have a problem with the media in this country as most FR readers already know and many have known for many many years. I can't say for sure who is winning the propaganda war.
But the problem is so clear when comparing other media with the American media.
Case in point, the Russian news on RTVI was weeks ahead of the U.S. media in reporting the Arab (mostly Algerians) riots in France. And they had no hesitation in describing the 'riots' as organized attacks by Arabs in France.
When I reread Harari, he also predicted France would have its day under terrorism. He was accurate with that forecast and he also went on to say that international law would adjust to the Terrorist's methods. On both RTVI, Israeli news and French news overseas, we see France is deporting, revoking citizenship and carte de sejours of all those arrested and determined to have been involved in the attacks. In the US media, the most that has been said is that France may deport some involved in the 'riots'.
The American media would dare not draw attention to the fact that the French 'riots' are actually organized attacks by Algerian Arabs.
But RTVI reports it like it is and so does Israeli news.
Today we see the techniques of Pravda of the Soviet era utilized by the U.S media.
