Do we even know yet if these were acts committed by Russians- and not false flag idiots acting in Ukraine to start playing war games and getting money for their weapons used against Russia with Ukraine at ground zero? Who is doing what? It was not clear at first that the chem attack in Syria was staged to blame Russia. Is that criminality in play again? The death we saw in the streets resembled a mass casualty practice event. Too organized and distributed to look real to me. They want to rush in. The US does this wet work to gain sympathy and support for egregious action. It should be examined by those who are trustworthy. Highly suspicious to use this as a pretext for nuclear devastation which they are too power mad to care about. Stop the mad men at work in the US and Ukraine. Give Putin an exit strategy.

"The first casualty of war is the truth." This proverb should be applied to _all_ reports from a war zone, especially atrocity stories.

Likely we can't believe 75 percent of what we're being told in U.S. media. I don't say that lightly. I've watched the dissolution of the media here in the U.S. over several years, along with that of many of our institutions.

I generally assume that the corporate media are simply emitting propaganda, in which truth is used when it happens to advantage the propagandists and not otherwise. Thus 75% seems optimistic absent corroboration. I recommend the Biblical "Believe nothing until it has been officially denied three times."
