I found out about this because I was trying to find a teddy bear that looked like one I had as a kid and there was a similar looking one on eBay but it was being sold as a “haunted” teddy bear with a whole tragic backstory of the little boy who owned it and now haunts it I guess.

Haven’t they already? I mean it’s crazy if they haven’t.

I don’t know much about it, but there is a book coauthored by Edward S Herman (who is known for coauthoring Manufacturing Consent) which critically examines the western narrative surrounding the Rwandan Genocide.

The book is called “Enduring Lies: The Rwandan Genocide in the Propaganda System, 20 Years Later”. It was published in 2014.

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

Very cool. I heard the interview of the author on Chapo, definitely sounds like a good read. I’m currently reading Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance Between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia, by Paul L. Williams

I’m at work and bored, thank you for asking! How are you?

That sounds awesome, I wish I had any PTO or vacation.

Yeah, it has had that meaning since the 1600s. It was originally a term from archery meaning the last, final shot in an archery competition, so from there it came to mean the result of something. Shakespeare used it in Hamlet, and people keep using it this way 400 years later, but it’s understandable that it could be confused with “upside”.

“Upshot” is a synonym of outcome or result, not “upside” which means something positive.

AES is a project that makes me hopeful for the future, I wish them all the luck in the world in opposing imperialism and forging a better future of sovereignty and development going forward!

Thanks

Thanks, that’s super fucked up, just the kind of thing I was looking for.
