Citations needed is patrion's weekly news brief. This week, we look at the legacy of former secretary of state colum powell. In many ways, he was more influential than a normal right wing journalist. We also talk about rock and roll as an empire in our generation.
In this News Brief, we recap the recap of Powell's life, from the handwringing over his Iraq War UN speech to the erasure of his role in covering up My Lai massacre to training rightwing death squads in Central America and the central importance of "Good Intentions" when venerating our beloved, bipartisan war-makers.
