Zionist Talking PointsTrump: National Guardsman shot in DC has died
The article’s framing presents a narrative of legitimacy surrounding the US military and governmental responses to violent incidents. The use of euphemistic language like “savagely attacked” subtly masks the nature of the violence inflicted upon US Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, downplaying the systemic issues that could have contributed to such an event. Additionally, the suspect in the shooting, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is identified as an “Afghan national who entered the US in 2021,” implying an association between his nationality and the violent act, which could potentially feed into anti-immigrant sentiments.
The narrative also implies legitimacy in the actions of another service member who shot the suspect, framing it as a response to violence rather than an act of violence itself. This dichotomy between violence and response to violence creates a contradiction in the story, making it seem as if some forms of violence are more acceptable than others based on who is acting and how it’s described.

Report: Iran smuggled hundreds of millions to Hezbollah
This news story frames Iran’s alleged financial support to Hezbollah as illegitimate and criminal by using terms like “smuggled” and “laundering.” It subtly suggests that Iran’s actions are inherently malicious and that Hezbollah’s operations are illicit. This framing obscures the geopolitical complexities and power dynamics involved in Iran-Hezbollah relations.
The article uses the term “laundering,” a word often associated with criminal activity, to describe Iran’s financial transactions. This could potentially be a euphemism for a conventional financial support system between allied entities, but it is framed in a way that implies illegality and deception. The story also fails to provide structural grounding for the legitimacy of the parties involved, potentially suppressing critical dialogue about their actions. Original Article
