Colin Powell, 'first black Secretary of State' who worked for Bush White House, died

... just a few months after Rumsfeld. Powell was 84.

According to people commenting on posts about him, he'll be most remembered for lying the US into its war against Iraq, and for 'regime change.' People called him war criminal.

Here is a piece about him:

Creator of Most Effective Anti-War Meme Dead. An excerpt:

Colin Powell, creator of the viral anti-war meme featuring himself holding a stage prop while lying to the United Nations about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, has died at the age of 84.

Over the years Powell’s meme has been an invaluable asset for opponents of western military interventionism and critics of U.S. propaganda narratives about empire-targeted nations, serving as a single-image debunk of any assertion that it is sensible to trust the claims U.S. officials make about any government that Washington doesn’t like.

Note that as effective as visual propaganda is in its message, it is also very effective the other way once it's meaning has been redefined.
