What Kind of Country Are\u00a0We?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

That\u2019s what Time magazine tweeted this morning. It is trying to place the blame for Trump\u2019s immigration policy\u2014specifically, his separation policy\u2014on all Americans. Time wants us to stand up for the children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TIME\u2019s new cover: A reckoning after Trump’s border separation policy: What kind of country are we? https:\/\/<\/span>ti.me\/2JVINI1\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

But Time says nothing about the slaughter and starvation of children in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and in particular Yemen. The US is assisting the Saudis in their genocidal war against the Houthi. It\u2019s helping the fascists in Ukraine kill civilians in Donbas. It\u2019s selling murder hardware to dictators and sadists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When was the last time they did a cover denouncing Trump for his bombing campaigns in Syria and Iraq that have killed thousands of civilians? Are dead babies buried in rubble less important than immigrants from Mexico and Honduras?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Time\u2019s publisher, Henry Luce, had a close relationship with the CIA.\u00a0 <\/span>CIA employees traveled with Time-Life credentials as cover in the 1950s. The Luce family financed efforts to kill Fidel Castro.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the 1950s and early 1960s, Time magazine\u2019s foreign correspondents attended CIA \u2018briefing\u2019 dinners similar to those the CIA held for CBS,\u201d writes Carl Bernstein. \u201cAnd Luce, according to CIA officials, made it a regular practice to brief Dulles or other high Agency officials when he returned from his frequent trips abroad. Luce and the men who ran his magazines in the 1950s and 1960s encouraged their foreign correspondents to provide help to the CIA, particularly information that might be useful to the Agency for intelligence purposes or recruiting foreigners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luce is long gone and Time\u2014a staunch Republican periodical during his time\u2014has since embraced the establishment\u2019s shift to \u201cprogressive\u201d politics. It is now the preferred political control mechanism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
