Trump made it an issue and so the media covers it: the caravan of immigrants heading for the US southern border.
He's stoking up all the fear he can and the media is not telling us the full story of why these people are fleeing their countries.
To understand why they are fleeing, we must look at US policy towards these countries.
We must look at how the US intervenes in their internal politics and over throws democratically elected governments and puts in puppets that do what the US & and its corporate masters want them to do.
We have to look at the US trained, armed, & backed death squads that act with impunity throughout their countries. We need to look at the countless number of murderered innocent people that haunt the memories of their families.
We need to look at the US firms that throw farmers off their lands. Where are these people to go and what are they to do?
They all try to come here because we bill ourselves as the land of opportunity. The land of the free and the home of the brave. And you know all the propaganda.
The media fail us that they look at the caravan as a cause. Just like trump wants them to.
They need to see it as an effect of US foreign policy.
But that would be biting the hands of the corporations that buy advertising in their organizations.
You know the rule: Money talks. Too loudly.
Dig into Democracy Now, the Real News Network, and other indie news meida to find out the truth.
Read Open Veins of Lati America and many other books on the topic.
Learn about Operation Condor.
Educate yourself on the truth because the media won't.
And then you will see the caravan as what it really is: a group of victims of US foreign policy demanding justice.
