The "media" is the propaganda arm of the MIC, banks, and corporations. Everything they push needs to be viewed through that lens. The only reputable sources of info are independent.

There are very few reliable independents as well. Everyone has an agenda or in the least biases they are either not aware of or if aware, they cannot overcome them.

"Lunatics" is a good word to use. And the worst part about it, these people don't even realize they are lunatics.

If they recognized they were lunatics, they would by definition not be lunatics. It's Catch-22.

Airing this segment on the very same day that the Blood Moon was full over the U.S. was not a coincidence.

"Let's show the world our war plans to take on China on national TV... It'll scare them into giving in to us before we actually start it. Seems like a fool-proof plan to me."-- One of the Lunatic Warmongers of the MIC

🎯 Caitlin. They’ve given up all pretence at decency. At least Genghis Khan or even the Visigoths were not sanctimonious. Ely Ratner? No surprise there.

The Taiwan thing is just more subterfuge, like Kurds, like WMDs , like educating Afghan women. As if! The US can’t cope with China’s ascendancy. So what excuse can they find?

Andrei martynov a very shrewd military man has a lot to say about these neocons in his latest post. He's worth listening to yt

Martynov who has been boasting about Russia's revamped military supremacy for two decades now and as it turns out, Russia's military is rather Potemkin hence Russia having to fall back on its Trump card — its nukes. For years now Russia has been poking and taunting and indicating it wants a fight and when it gets it and it's getting its ass handed to it, it decides that rather than lose face, it'll burn down the arena. So tough right there. Russia is the Black Knight with nukes.

Well failing that try some telegram channels to see the havoc the Russians are causing to the Ukrainians. But then you'll have something to say about that. America lost every war they started Vietnam Afghanistan, somalia. Chased out of every one. Unless they're bombing the shit out of a country their infantry are useless. You're very foolish to think that the Ukrainians can win. But then the yanks aren't suffering losses so that's OK. If the body bags were heading home to the good ól usa the attitude would be different.

I didn't say Ukraine would win whatever winning is here, but come on, 12 Russian generals killed. That's having your ass handed to you. Of course, no doubt Martynov, in Black Knight fashion, will not so cleverly explain this away as merely a flesh wound and Putin and the Russian media and Russian trolls will claim it is fake news.

“I find this strange, and I can’t explain it,” Mr. Trenin said.

Maybe one possibility is, Putin is actually a Western asset. The real Putin was assassinated at least a decade prior and replaced with this obvious doppelgänger.

I should know better than to respond to an admitted troll.

Is it true to say that 'they', the elites and plutocracy, need us more than we need them? Maybe that's what scares them. I'm not talking about getting rid of them, just withdrawing support wherever possible and letting them know that ordinary people across the globe will not be drawn into their madness. We can give them a warning and final notice to climb down off their egos and join the motley plebs in seeking peace. Or else the sacrosanct world order they so demand, and that they pursue to the end of the earth, will be dismantled from the bottom up. They cannot have our kids to fight their wars, they cannot have our sweat, they cannot expect our mandate or collusion. We are not as obtuse as they are. We are not helpless. This has to be a global message before they shut down communication; 'Hell No, we won't go'. And tell them to not reach into their dirty bag of tricks to scare or further divide us. We are strong without being violent. They are weak in their fear and resort to violence. They don't know us because they haven't been here with us.

On 60 Minutes is a pro-war piece on Bellingcat, which pretends to be a fact-checking organization but in fact is yet another shill for pushing the Russia "war-crime" narrative, amongst other propaganda tasks. Like Snopes and other alleged "fact-checkers" and pseudo-independent organizations.

This reminds me of the alternative history Thursday Next novels, in which the Crimean War has been going on uninterrupted since the 19th c.

fearmongering (for domestic consumption) and terrorizing (for external control and domination) is the only tool for the imperialist war profiteers / war criminals to have left. Putin called their bluff with the "special operation" and they can only bluff more and harder.

I ran across this the other day and I was like "WTF." We know this shit goes on behind the scenes and has forever, but to broadcast it on cable news is beyond the pale. What is the strategy behind broadcasting this to a largely braindead ignorant public? Is it about sending a message to China? What's the message? "Here's what we'll do in the event you attack and invade Taiwan." Nothing like telegraphing to your alleged enemy what you will do in advance.

Do they think that they are playing a video game?

Maybe Rory. Just press restart when you run out of lives. Shows how damaged, detached, alienated and dissociated these people are, not to mention the apparatus which supports them.

It seems more like a casino. They are just laying the bets and throwing the dice. They might win big or lose big, but it doesn’t matter to them because they aren’t playing with their own money.
