lucylin: Not just fighting people, but so many of us have learned much about the war machine. In the meantime, how many other journalists are openly and clearly saying these things. Ms. Johnstone's column is necessary to counteract the effect of the massive propaganda constantly being aimed at us by the mainstream media. I, for one, admire Caitlin Johnstone's courage to keep speaking out against the B.S. we once accepted, and use what she writes to be more sure and determined to oppose the current campaign to start new wars.
