Jeffrey Sachs calls bullsh!t on anti-China propaganda

Jeffrey Sachs is working overtime to get himself black-listed from mainstream media. Here's his back-and-forth with a BBC presenter last week.

The point he is making is that when the West is harping about human rights in other countries, it is, at the best of times, nothing more than the pot calling the kettle black.

That is an overly kind assessment. 

From the fire-bombings of Tokyo and Dresden, to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria, nobody spills more blood in this world than America and its vassals. It's not even close.

America has never been reluctant to use it's financial dominance to punish those who would resist the hegemon. America's policy of starving the most vulnerable in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Nicaragua, and Venezuela by the hundreds of thousands via illegal and immoral sanctions is presented every day as "standing up for human rights and the rules-based international order."

Good on Professor Sachs for calling out American hypocrisy and big media's endless toadying to US power.
