At the risk of politicizing one of the few days when politics are supposedly left aside to commemorate the sacrifice made my US servicemen and women (that’s Memorial Day, to all of you reading this from outside the US bubble), the inclusion of Freedom’s Watch in today’s extract from my recent AIPAC comic is a stark reminder of where the bellicose foreign policy agendas that cost so many lives often take root. Be sure to check out the links below for more information on Freedom’s Watch nefarious agenda (as if having the name “Freedom” in a political group’s title didn’t set off enough alarm bells) and its (thankfully) abortive efforts to provoke the US into a military intervention in Iran.

Panel 2: This quote taken from a NYTimes article. Bizarrely enough, one of Saban’s greatest ever cash cows was his ownership of the rights and royalties to the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, which he recently bought back from Disney. The licensed products and promotional value of the MMPR is estimated at $5bn.
