[OccupyCU] AWARE ON THE AIR: Syria & Israel

[C. G. Estabrook]

Karen Aram, who has recently contributed regularly to AWARE ON THE AIR, points out that Democracy Now this week has two good segments on the situation in the Mideast - which the corporate media regularly downplay, to the satisfaction of the administration. President Obama is running the world's greatest terrorist campaign - a global assassination program - and clearly prefers that Americans not know of the thousands of people he's killed with drones and 'special forces' (US death squads).

(Speaking with GRITtv host Laura Flanders about the National Security Agency snooping scandal, Chomsky remarked that “the Obama administration is dedicated to increasing terrorism; it’s doing it all over the world.” He continued: “Obama is running the biggest terrorist operation that exists, maybe in history: the drone assassination campaigns, which are just part of it [...] All of these operations, they are terror operations.”)
