**Why Everything You Know About World War II Is Wrong **• 1h36m ▶ Mike Whitney Interview with Ron Unz RON UNZ AND MIKE WHITNEY • JUNE 12, 2023(https://www.unz.com/runz/why-everything-you-know-about-world-war-ii-is-wrong/)
Ron Unz—Until the last dozen years or so, my views on historical events had always been fairly conventional, formed from the classes I’d taken in college and the uniform media narrative I’d absorbed over the decades. This included my understanding of World War II, the greatest military conflict in human history, whose outcome had shaped our modern world.
But in the years after the 9/11 Attacks and the Iraq War, I’d grown more and more suspicious of the honesty of our mainstream media, and begun to recognize that history books often merely represent a congealed version of such past media distortions. The growth of the Internet has unleashed a vast quantity of unorthodox ideas of all possible flavors and since 2000 I’d been working on a project to digitize the archives of our leading publications of the last 150 years, which gave me convenient access to information not easily available to anyone else. So as I later wrote:
Aside from the evidence of our own senses, almost everything we know about the past or the news of today comes from bits of ink on paper or colored pixels on a screen, and fortunately over the last decade or two the growth of the Internet has vastly widened the range of information available to us in that latter category. Even if the overwhelming majority of the unorthodox claims provided by such non-traditional web-based sources is incorrect, at least there now exists the possibility of extracting vital nuggets of truth from vast mountains of falsehood. Certainly the events of the past dozen years have forced me to completely recalibrate my own reality-detection apparatus.Ron Unz—Until the last dozen years or so, my views on historical events had always been fairly conventional, formed from the classes I’d taken in college and the uniform media narrative I’d absorbed over the decades.

The true meaning of the rainbow comes from the Bible in Genesis 9:12-15, where God sets his rainbow in the clouds as a sign of the covenant between him and the earth.0 The rainbow is a symbol of hope and solidarity in many cultures, appearing as perfect arcs during or immediately after a rain shower when the sun shines onto water droplets, shattering its white light into an array of brilliant colors.1 It is meant to remind us of the great flood that drowned the world and to assure us that God will never do so again. When we see the bow in the heavens, we should be led to consider divine justice against the iniquities of the world, which He punished most severely, so as to destroy all people.
The Crime of "Talking to Tucker Carlson" By Dr Naomi Wolf Outspoken with Dr Naomi Wolf

So — Mr Carlson — thank you for caring about women and babies, in your being among the first, along with Mr Bannon, to give me a platform to raise a lifesaving alarm about threats to both. Thank you for your dogged nostalgia about a nation that is racially optimistic. Thanks for being willing to talk to those with whom you do not agree. Thanks for not giving up on religious liberty or the First Amendment. Thank you for insisting that truth matters.
And thank you for not giving up on the best core ideals of this nation.
We did not used to call the aggregate of all of those ideals, “conspiracy theories.”
We used to call them, America.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump: The Left-Right Punch to Corporatist Fascism By Rodney Atkinson Global Research, April 27, 2023
**From the article: **
The hatred of some Establishment Republicans for Donald Trump, the disruptor on the “right”, mirrors Kennedy’s unpopularity among “the Left”.
Who said this?
“We are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.”
“For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.
“Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.
While they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land”
Well those words could have been said by either Kennedy or Trump because they both identify the centralised, unchallengeable corporate State, run to the benefit of both left and right establishments as the enemy of the people in a country where democratic accountability has given way to corporatist fascism, both in domestic and international affairs. Both Trump and Kennedy oppose reckless foreign interventions and their enormous cost. Both would be peacemakers.
In fact the above words are from President Donald Trump’s Inauguration address.
