Boris Johnson lied to the UK public about the extent of his relationship with Steve Bannon. Today we find Bannon was helping Boris write speeches prior to the Brexit vote. Bannon was VP at Cambridge Analytica at that time

I honestly think our society is debating the semantics of concentration camps because we can’t face the horror that we’ve allowed Trump and the GOP to create concentration camps where children are suffering and dying. It’s not complicated. It’s Denial 101.

This is the guy who planned a strike that would start World War III and called it off at the last minute so he could take credit for averting World War III. Also, he's an accused rapist.

The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.

I'm reading the Kushner plan for economic peace—really, what else would I rather do on a beautiful Saturday evening in June?—and I'll tweet some thoughts on it as I go.
Just to start, the website for the "Peace to Prosperity" plan includes a glossy photo of Palestinians walking past a USAID-funded school. Donald Trump cut USAID funding in the Palestinian territories.— Gregg Carlstrom (@glcarlstrom) June 22, 2019
- "Additional investment will finance the development of a transportation corridor directly connecting the West Bank and Gaza." Israel has undertaken to do this for decades. Never happened because, guess what, it's complicated! Not just a matter of building a monorail.4 replies14 retweets71 likes
- The plan will "help the Palestinians leap a generation forward in digital services" with 5G technology. Great! Except it was only last year that Israel let the West Bank install 3G (which the rest of us got in the aughts), for reasons no one can adequately explain.4 replies32 retweets82 likes
- It goes on to suggest developing Gaza's coast by "drawing from examples like Beirut," which suggests that none of the plan's authors have ever actually seen the concrete monstrosity that is Beirut's coastline6 replies25 retweets125 likes
- "Just as Dubai and Singapore have benefited from their strategic locations and flourished as regional financial hubs, the West Bank and Gaza can ultimately develop into a regional trading center." Like Dubai or Singapore, just without an airport!4 replies33 retweets114 likes
- Kushner wants Palestine to achieve a World Bank Doing Business ranking of "75 or better." I sat with a Palestinian CEO last week who told me about having to transport his goods via donkeys when Israeli checkpoints closed the roads. That kind of stuff makes it hard to score well4 replies65 retweets145 likes
- I could go on but, again, Saturday night. Suffice it to say this is a pie-in-the-sky document that presupposes Israel will agree to everything, the occupation will stop massively distorting Palestine's economy, and all the other political considerations magically vanish.4 replies32 retweets102 likes
- Oh one other thing. There's a whole section on the importance of sacrosanct property rights in the Palestinian territories which I simply lack the words to comment on
