I have page-views often in excess of 1000 per day, but I think they are mainly from Internet searching facilities that I don't understand, but even so there must be a number of folk who actually read my blog but I am getting almost zero comments. Ok, this is the way of the world but I am hugely concerned about the comments I made in my last post and it worries me about how uninformed the UK public are about what is going on across the Pond.
There are many channels on You Tube detailing the appalling happenings including holocaust style concentration camps, arrest without due process, random attacks on minority groups, and massive inputs of misinformation, and downright lies about the state of the economy and much more. On top of all that is a disregard for and deliberate ignoring of the law, and dubious political and illegal manoeuvrings that seem to have no consequences.
One of the most respected channels which I believe strives to get all this across using verified sources and factual accounts can be viewed from the link below. This is just one episode from daily posts made here and it would be worth continuing to follow, that is if you are able to stand the resulting distress and and disgust at what is truthfully akin to what happened in Nazi Germany.
I suspect that many people think they are au fait with what is going on having followed UK media but there is nothing like the required depth of reporting. It is worrying that the far right here are jumping on a similar bandwagon with increasing numbers of our population inexplicably blind to what is happening.
Please watch:
Well, I'm going to comment, from across the Pond. I fear that many Americans too are in the dark. Sources I can recommend for anyone, anywhere: Aaron Rupar and Ron Filipkowski (from Meidas Touch) on Bluesky, Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American, Margaret Sullivan (both on Substack), Pro Publica, NPR, and the PBS News Hour (both available online). The Guardian is a good source too (I give them $, or £). I see more revelatory clips (of the current occupant of what's left of the White House) from Aaron Rupar than from any other source. I've given up on commercial network news, which just has not risen to the task of telling the truth, the whole truth, in dangerous times.
ReplyDeleteI share your concerns, but try to sublimate them for my own sanity.
ReplyDeleteNo good will come from Trump; only the Americans can get rid of him.
I've followed Meidas for some time.
Michael L and BC - Thanks for you both for your comments. I despair of the judicial system which always seems to have yet another loophole to enable any judgement to be appealed, and failing that groundless dismissal of the presider to be replaced by a sycophantic puppet, and failing that blatant disregard for the law with no consequences. It is so sad to see such a long established ally to be so weak and the media so gagged by fear and manipulation.
