The U.S. news media’s coverage of the Iran nuclear issue has been woefully off-kilter for many years. Now, however, those same outlets are contributing to the serious crisis building between Washington and Tehran.
A major opinion poll’s results were released which demonstrated that fully two-thirds of post 9/11 veterans now think the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan “weren’t worth fighting.” That’s a remarkable, and distressing, statistic and one that should give America’s president, legislators, media, and people as a whole, serious pause. Not that it will, mind you, but it should! It’s doubtful that US military combat vets – who are more rural, southern, and conservative than the population at large – have ever so incontrovertibly turned on a war, at least since the very end of Vietnam.
What incredible timing. I have been writing about how a cyber attack can easily take out America’s electric grid, and I guess a guardian angel provided an example.

Coincidence that just last month the NYT reported the US was attacking Russia's electric grid?
Eternal access to over 2,500 non-fiction reviews carefully curated in many lists and also in each of 97 distinct categories — a free college education such as no college today offers and exclusive access to new book reviews — Robert removed all his reviews from Amazon in protest over their censorship of books, reviewers, & reviews but he continues to publish and buy there.
Today is my birthday. Technically I am 67 but I feel 47.
I am also broke. Down to my last $75 in the non-profit, down to my last $20 in personal (but social security comes in tomorrow, thank you).
If you appreciate what I do, what I stand for, I would be glad to have your donations to http://bigbatusa.org/donate (tax deductible for US taxpayers). Checks made out to Earth Intelligence Network can be mailed to me, email me for the address (robert.david.steele.vivas@gmail.com).
