*[Above: The secret war in Laos killed hundreds of thousand of people. The millions of unexploded landmines (and cluster bomblets) left by the U.S. in Laos continue to kill and maim Laotians, especially children. The "secret war" in Laos could only have remained a secret from the American people because of the MSM kept it secret.]
It is the U.S. and its allies that created the mujahideen, the Taliban, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, ISIS, daesh, or whatever the name du jour for U.S. mercenary proxy armies and terrorists unleased on the world. This is not conjecture or a conspiracy theory. The Washington establishment now readily admits and plots in public and its project of regime change in Syria. Without any authorization and against the United Nations Charter the U.S. has illegal deployed U.S. Special Forces boots on the ground, and backed Turkey's invasion of Syria. Instead of calling out those acts as blatant illegal war crimes the New York Times casually overlooks them as if they were mere technicalities.
The MSM has been an enthusiastic cheerleader for U.S. wars of aggression. The New York Times has a long and ugly history of being a propagandist to gain the public's consent for U.S. wars of aggression. The Nuremberg Trials set the precedent that war propaganda is a war crime. Cheerleading the U.S. public into invading Iraq was just one blatant example that everybody now admits was a "mistake"...aka war crime. The Empire's war of aggression in Syria is another illegal invasion and is creating chaos just as was done in Libya. War propaganda is a crime against humanity, yet the MSM keeps escaping accountability and responsibility.
