Have any of you seen this remarkable video? It’s ten minutes, an interview with journalist Gearoid O’Colmain. It’s late right now for me, and my vocabulary skills are therefore lacking, so I’m not sure how to describe it other than that it just rocked my world. Media here in the US just doesn’t seem to get this real, raw and unapologetic anymore, perhaps outside of some of our more brilliant political satirists. (Thanks MSM machine)

Lucky for you, I’ve transcribed the part that really socked me in the gut the most, in that deeply validating yet depressing way of “I already knew this, or something like this, but hearing someone say it out loud just made it suddenly, undeniably real and terrifying.”
0:52-3:00:
“We need to be clear about the origin of the war on terror. The war on terror is orchestrated from abroad. ... The attacks that have been continuing to detrsoy Syria, to massacre its population, have also been orchestrated from abroad. They were orchestrated by NATO and they have been carrying these attacks out against the civilian population of Syria for four years now. And this is a terorrist campaign that is also orchestrated from abroad. People in Europe need to understand that there is a war that is becoming global that is being waged against civilian populations in particular. It is a form of New Imperialism/Neo-Colonialism which aims to divide and conquer European and Middle Eastern and African and world's population for that matter, and to make them submit to a global order that does NOT serve the interests of most of the people on this planet, but that DOES serve the interests of a very few ruling elite, a very small, tiny and particularly tyrannical ruling elite.
There is NO war on terror. There is a war that is being waged using proxy groups, terrorist proxy groups, and they are being used against nation states who are resisting US and Israeli hegemony, and they are also being used as a means of disciplining workforces in Europe in a period of mass unemployment and austerity. You now have terrorist attacks being committed by terrorists funded, armed, and trained by Western intelligence agencies. There is no such thing as ISIS. ISIS is a creation of the United States. We know that from official sources of the US military themselves, declassified documents from the Defense Intelligence Agency have confirmed that.” (Emphasis in CAPS and bold is mine, proudly so)
Preach it, Mr. O’Colmain. Preach it. Even if it stings to hear.
