It's impossible to summarize this in tweets but I will try. In 2015 a team of researchers found a cache of documents in the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs that included 4 years worth of contracts between US PR firm Burson-Marsteller and the junta. https://t.co/Z51GIFAxup
THREAD: If you haven't been following the situation in Bolivia here's a rundown. Briefly, the OAS, an emboldened opposition (which clearly is not the most popular party in the country), the media, and the Trump admin ousted a successful leftist leader. For the longer story:
@LightsCameraPod "Ever since its inception in 1947, the CIA has been covertly working with Hollywood. But it wasn’t until the mid-1990s that the agency formally hired an entertainment industry liaison and began openly courting favorable treatment in films and television."

@venanalysis Has anyone ever explained how the @Presidencia_VE account got verified and who is operating it? Or why there are *two* accounts for the TSJ? https://t.co/Lpo8yqRWVF
@JacobRForster @ggreenwald Who are you even arguing with here? I'm amazed that going after institutions can be misconstrued as analogous to what you're ranting about.
@JacobRForster @ggreenwald Dealing significant blows to state facism has a long and storied history that proves that its not outside the realm of possiblity, people like Snowden and Manning are modern examples of that.
@JacobRForster @ggreenwald I mean, that's what The Weather Underground Organization did when they bopped the Pentagon.
Or maybe we should bring up The Citizen's Commision to Investigate the FBI and how a group of everyday people successfully infiltrated and stole documents related to COINTELPRO for us all?
Hi, here's your regular reminder of the time @CNN staged a fake, scripted interview with a 7 year-old Syrian girl giving her analysis that Assad was responsible for the alleged sarin incident in Idlib. The host necessarily had the other half of the script.

@KyleKulinski Progressives need to start attacking the moderators in the middle of the debate, these people are out of their minds. Trump has shown you can only rise from the polls with this, voters are capable of sniffing out that kind of dirty play.
@aaronjmate It's amazing just how much Russiagate has poisoned public discourse and made red scare foreign policy "hip" for people that normally would have opposed things like the Iraq war some 15 years ago.
@michaelmalice Sure, let's just sidestep all the differences in policy, economic models and historical context between those two because research is hard. Self serving hollow platitudes are what sells now anyways.
@democracynow While I sympathize with the calls for independence from the #HongKongProtests, we should be wary of the endgame being promoted by the factions that never escaped from their colonialist mindset and see no other way to exist going forward.
