Pretend that the Yellow Vests or the Canadian trucker protests were happening in countries that the United States did not like.

Rather than being downplayed, ignored, or treated with the sort of disdain normally reserved for cockroaches and members of the herpes family, they would receive non-stop wall-to-wall fawning coverage. MSM talking heads would broadcasting live, wearing yellow vests. Because "solidarity".

Pretend that Assange were languishing in a Chinese prison, that Jeffrey Epstein were to have died mysterously in a Russian lockup.

We would be treated to breathless speculation regarding their circumstances, new revelations dropping on a daily basis, and the word "conspiracy" would never enter into MSM discourse.

In US Democracy there is no protection for the Minority dissenting from the Majority POV.

There’s no room for dissent in the Washington Post and other US MSM Propagandists, inciters of the US WAR Machine calling for more Death and Destruction as long as it’s not Americans, acting like a 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse.

I watch CNN & MSNBC reporting from Moscow, but since the WAR started, The Washington Post suspended me from commenting 4 times for pointing out all the SINS of Historical OMISSION in their WAR narrative,

That’s in addition to just deleting many of my comments and the whole thread in response without suspending me.
