America is addicted to war. But its citizens rarely see the brutal realities of the U.S. military industrial complex up close. That is because our pliant media hides the carnage from the public, refusing to report on the victims of the war machine, and uses euphemisms like “surgical strikes” and “enhanced interrogation techniques” to mask the barbarity meted out by Washington around the world. Our guest today has literally written the book on how the harsh realities of America’s global empire are blocked from our views. Norman Solomon is a journalist, activist and media critic who co-founded activism website RootsAction.Org. He is the author of the new book, “War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine.” Support independent watchdog journalism! https://www.patreon.com/MintPressNews MintPress News: https://www.mintpressnews.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MintPressNews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mintpress/ Telegram Broadcasting: https://t.me/mintpress_news Telegram Community: https://t.me/+3on1lYimf3Y2YWUx Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MintpressNews TikTok: https://www.facebook.com/MintpressNews Rokfin: https://rokfin.com/mintpressnews Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/user180472205 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@MintPressNews Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/MintPressNews Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MintPressNews ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iQlLazo-r0

Engaging in extreme crony capitalism, these 6 corporations are tied to Big Pharma, the defense industry and many more who have a close relationship with the US government in order to succeed in the global market.
