"Color" Revolution USA The US press has routinely abused, disrespected and lied about black, brown and yellow peoples and their heads of state, and now subjects its own top political figures to the same treatment. "The 'news' is an element of the crime, since it is not really news at all, but a packet of false consciousness."
