[audio mp3="https://www.corbettreport.com/mp3/flnwo41-lq.mp3"][/audio]"Take us to your leader!" is the science fiction cliche...but what if there's no leader to be taken to, and no one to do the leading?

Rambo III – FLNWO #37

[audio mp3="https://www.corbettreport.com/mp3/flnwo37-lq.mp3"][/audio]Rambo III is silly popcorn entertainment. But it is silly popcorn entertainment that is set during the Soviet-Afghan war, and as such it reflects the standard propaganda narrative that was being fed to the American public at that time? So what do we make of this silly propaganda today, after 9/11 and the conquest of the "brave freedomfighters" of Afghanistan by NATO?

Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” – FLNWO #35

[audio mp3="https://www.corbettreport.com/mp3/flnwo35-lq.mp3"][/audio]You've probably heard all about Upton Sinclair's 1906 expose of the turn-of-the-century American meatpacking industry and the Chicago stockyards...but everything you've heard about it is wrong. The book wasn't an expose of the meatpackers, the legislation it inspired served to help the industry it sought to punish, and Sinclair himself hated the end result of his book, which aimed for the heart and hit the stomach by accident.
