Gabbard officially began her campaign for president a mere&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/fMllW6PJH_s\">three days ago<\/a>, and already she\u2019s become the front line upon which the debate about US warmongering is happening. Even if you oppose Gabbard\u2019s run for the presidency, this should be self-evident to you by now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This dynamic became more apparent than ever today in Gabbard\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/morning-joe\/watch\/rep-gabbard-assad-is-not-an-enemy-of-the-us-1438093891865\">appearance on MSNBC\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Morning Joe<\/em><\/a>, hosted by spouses Joe Scarborough and Mika&nbsp;Brzezinski. It should here be noted since we\u2019re talking about war propaganda that in 2009 Scarborough&nbsp;turned down an easy run for the US Senate because he&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heraldtribune.com\/news\/20090209\/question-morning-joe-or-sen-joe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decided that he could have more influence on public policy<\/a>&nbsp;as the host of&nbsp;<em>Morning Joe<\/em>&nbsp;than he could as one of 100 US senators, which tells you everything you need to know about why I focus more on US mass media propaganda than I do on US politics. It should also be noted that&nbsp;Brzezinski is the daughter of the late Carter administration cold warrior&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/zbigniew-brzezinski-cold-war-biography\/\">Zbigniew&nbsp;Brzezinski<\/a>, whose&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/the-real-story-of-zbigniew-brzezinski-that-the-media-isnt-telling\/5593085\">influential ideas<\/a>&nbsp;about US world domination,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsws.org\/en\/articles\/2017\/05\/29\/zbig-m29.html\">arming extremist factions<\/a>&nbsp;to advance US interests, and hawkish agendas against Russia continue to infect US foreign policy to this day. Mika is part of a political dynasty, with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ian_Brzezinski\">both<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mark_Brzezinski\">brothers<\/a>&nbsp;being US political insiders as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if you\u2019ve ever wondered how outlets like MSNBC keep everyone on message and fully in alignment with the US war machine\u2019s agendas, there\u2019s a good insight into how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tulsi Gabbard Is Driving The MSM Bat Shit\u00a0Crazy When Tulsi Gabbard announced her plans to run in the 2020 presidential election,&nbsp;I predicted&nbsp;that it would disrupt war propaganda narratives and force a much-needed conversation about US interventionism, but I didn\u2019t realize that it would happen so quickly, so ubiquitously, and so explosively.
