4. Wow, really hope William Blum will go ahead and write that book for us. We need it.
Will be waiting with a catcher's mitt, no doubt about it.

Wonderful article. It's wonderful reading from someone who has been watching the same things we're watching. Comforting!

Regarding his reference to that Coha article with Larry Birns, I saw it too, was flattened, devastated. I had always seen Larry Birns in such a different light, based on what else I had read by him up to that point. When I saw that unbelievable outpouring of disinformation, of deliberate LYING, as he's far too intelligent to believe what he wrote, I had to race to google images to find a photo of his face,

and stare at it, taking it all in, "Oh, so THAT'S Larry Birns," as in a stage of grief, as in letting go of someone who has died. "I see."

That's the kind of action taken by someone deliberately. There's so very little he could ever say which would excuse what he did.

So glad William Blum has written he went through this, too, felt the shock and horror, just the same. To see someone you once respected would actually be capable of jumping on the disinformation bandwagon is breathtaking. Someone must be blackmailing him!

Thanks for the article, laststeamtrain.
