One thing we can do is try to shake things up, at least let them know we're watching and we know what they're really doing. Subject them to the real truths and see what they say. Make them respond and get on record their lies and obfuscations. Maybe even make them nervous.

Sometimes all it takes is a video. Say thanks to Chelsea Manning.
Never forget the whistleblowers. And never forget those who prosecuted them.
Thanks Obama.

Why is bombing hospitals in Mosul acceptable?
Submitted by gjohnsit on Thu, 12/29/2016 - 3:52pmU.S.-coalition aircraft bombed a children's hospital in Mosul today.
This wasn't the first Mosul hospital we bombed.
Three weeks ago we bombed another hospital in Mosul.
The only difference is that the first hospital we knowingly, and intentionally targeted.
You probably weren't aware of this.
Bush's war crimes finally get their day in court
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 12/13/2016 - 3:16pmIt's been a very long time coming, and President Obama's Justice Department tried its best to prevent this day from happening, but an American court will finally get to decide on whether the invasion of Iraq was a war crime.

The Normalization of Deviance
Submitted by Meteor Man on Fri, 08/19/2016 - 12:27amThe U.S. has not fomally renounced the Geneva Conventions, we simply violate them at will:
Although the U.S. government would not dare to formally renounce the Geneva Conventions, the normalization of deviance has effectively replaced them with elastic standards of behavior and accountability whose main purpose is to shield senior U.S. military officers and civilian officials from accountability for war crimes.
Slobodan Milosevic exonerated by the ICTY
Submitted by Alex Ocana on Mon, 08/01/2016 - 6:20pmI remember every night in the mid or late 90's listening to the VOA and BBC World Service that Serbia, led by Slobodan Milosevic were committing the most atrocious of war crimes in Yugoslavia. Milosevic was, we were told, worse than "Hitler". Clinton was in the forefront of slanderous attacks on Milosevic blaming him for the violence in Bosnia and Kosovo, Milosevic's evil justifying the US bombing and destruction of Serbia.
