Why hasn't the US withdrawn from Afghanistan? Well, it supplies 90% of the world's heroin, and the CIA is the perfect conduit. In short, the CIA makes too much drug money, off the books, for the US to leave Afghanistan.

If the dems cheat Bernie Sanders out of the nomination with super-delegate skullduggery, they will be committing political suicide. They did it in 2016 and lost. If they do it in 2020, Trump will win again. It may very well guarantee a republican win in 2024.

This is indeed groundbreaking news. But for that very reason, expect it to go utterly ignored in the corporate western press. It confirms what many of us long believed about the 1981 El Mozote massacre, namely that it had US approval.
Groundbreaking news out of El Salvador.
A US military advisor was present in December of 1981 as Salvadoran soldiers carried out the El Mozote massacre, slaughtering almost a thousand civilians.
