Orwell is my north star on these topics. Gone too soon, he left a legacy of moral clarity that continues to resonate.

I’m still chuckling about “liberating public funds into private offshore bank accounts.” Isn’t that always the way. Or who can forget the “liberation of Kuwait” in 1990, for anyone who was around to witness that "peacekeeping” travesty.

Thanks for this clear-eyed piece. Please keep them coming.
