Good read, thanks Jeff. Been watching Mark Ames’ work on Greenwald and Omidyar for a while. How many Gary Webb’s have we ignored or ruined for telling us the truth about our empire and its crimes? Then again…how many Gary Webbs have there been?
I read about your situation first from Jeff’s Deconstructing Myths blog, and then more at your site. Knew about Gary’s story long ago…and things have only gotten worse since then. As you might imagine from some of my screed and old rants here, I’ve pretty much given up on the masses ever awakening to the reality of what the glorious Homeland is. Of course, my reality is tinged with decades of watching this collapse as I kept wage slaving away…so I too am as guilty as any I ever call out. Hence my political art-like stuff of recent years. Keeps me somewhat “sane.” Thanks for your thoughts and follow on Twitter Claire, I do a lot of RT’ing and will be reading at your blog as well!
Thanks very much, Al. I appreciate your response – and your work. I have a few thoughts I’d like to share, but I need to come back later. My blog isn’t what is was, but I sort of do what I can – so thanks for reading it.
Hasta luego, compadre.

I thought you would appreciate this commentary on The Intercept and Omidyar.

I’ve told the truth about the corruption of our domestic empire, and been ignored and ruined.
Just – FYI.

P.S. And I’ve written about Gary Webb, and also been ignored.
That’s something to think about.
Peace out, brother.
