Thank You! Those two articles were terrific.
I myself dismissed Paul Craig Roberts as a Reagan wingnut until recently. His comments from this article are profound.

>>>>Humans are brainwashed by enculturation and indoctrination. Patriots respond with hostility toward criticisms of their governments, their countries, their hopes and their delusions. Their emotions throttle facts, should any reach them. Aspirations and delusions prevail over truth. Most people want to be told what they want to hear. Consequently, they are always gullible and their illusions and self-delusions make them easy victims of propaganda. This is true of all levels of societies and of the leaders themselves.<<<<<
Comments ring true to me because I was brainwashed. The history texts you study in school reveal very little of the skullduggery that went into making USA the most powerful country on earth.
You don't have to be a Russia expert to see Iran 1953 parallels with the Ukraine riots.
>>>> The world has witnessed this American self- righteousness for eons as Washington overthrows one democratic government after the other and imposes its puppet, as Washington did in Iran in 1953 when the CIA, as it now admits, and as Ervand Abrahamian proves in his book The Coup (The New Press, 2013), overthrew the elected government of Mossadeq, and more recently the elected government of Honduras and many governments in between.
Currently Washington is working overtime to overthrow the governments of Syria, Iran again, and Ukraine. Washington has also targeted Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Brazil, and in its wildest dreams the governments of Russia and China<<<<<
