This blog was founded in June 2004 as a substitute for the closed comment section of Billmon's Whiskey Bar blog. The Bar was since shut down and this blog developed its own standing.
Since its beginning the Moon of Alabama blog received 24,923,925 pageviews. 6,838 posts were published and 327,800 valuable comments contributed to it.
The quality of the content increased over time. The general subjects continue to be the wars and propaganda of the U.S. empire. The McCarthyrite PropOrNot, (promoted by the Washington Post) described this site as a "U.S. facing Russian propaganda outlet". They disliked the warning about false flag attacks in Syria.
Moon of A is not Russian propaganda. But it takes a wider perspective than other media. Here are some recent examples:
- Why North Korea Needs Nukes – And How To End That
- NYT, WaPo Send Top Reporters To Stenograph Five O'Clock Follies
- By The Grace Of Israel – The Barzani Clan And Kurdish "Independence"
- The Rohingya Of Myanmar – Pawns In An Anglo-Chinese Proxy War Fought By Saudi Jihadists
- UN On Khan Sheikhoun – Victims Hospitalized BEFORE Claimed Incident Happened
- The Saudi System And Why Its Change May Fail
Where else could you read such pieces?
