So-called “Navy Patriot” IS a Putinista. Probably more so than you. Your records speak for themselves. All “NP” does is post Putin pieces — on EVERY issue regarding Russia, including Eastern Europe.

BTW- were you a little snitch in school as well?

[ETL]

Make that, All “NP” does is post PRO-Putin pieces — on EVERY issue regarding Russia, including Eastern Europe.

[Socon-Econ]

We have more to fear from propaganda from the Obama regime, its TV network outlets, and George Soros than from Putin.

[Navy Patriot]

This Cold War era russophobia is idiot. Putin's attack on ISIS in Syria should be hailed as a victory for sanity by conservatives. NATO and the CIA and MI6 are bankster leg breakers. The globalist fascist banker oligarchy hate Putin for putting a stop to their post 1989 attempt at raw materials pillage of Russia. Yah, he used Russian gangsters, but that was fighting fire with fire. NATO's brinksmanship is pushing the planet towards WWIII. How would we feel if Russia tried to pub ICBM's in Cuba. Oh wait, that already happened and we had a sh*t fit. If the oligarchs can't control the world's money and raw materials supply, they will bomb it back to the stone age. Bankers are freaking insane and they are in desperate need of a straight jacket or a bullet.

Oh my, ...you get it.

RT is no more propagandist than are ABCNBCCBSMSNBCCNNNPR etc.

Sputnik (news agency)

"Agitprop is effective at the margins."

The regimes of the men in the photo rose more on agitation propaganda than anything else.







What we're seeing now, is hordes of spoiled rotten older folks (my generation and others) with government incomes and commie-fascist minds pushing a game of chicken against the lives of their own grandkids. Most of them haven't done many days of real work in their lives. I know. I grew up with them and am one of the few who has done real, productive work for my money right alongside their grandkids and many foreigners in more recent years.

The contemporary regulating NIMBYs ruined our nation--not some political celebrity or other, but the whole government-employed and pensioned political class.

[familyop]

After what I’ve seen in politics in recent years—repeated, insidious efforts by both political parties to reelect Hillary—I have come to be in favor of only one massive government project (and the dumping nearly all other government funding): the building of an unprecedentedly large complex of nursing homes to stuff the over-regulating bureaucrats and their many employees and favored do-nothing business associates in for good and all. Yeah, my own generation and the one just after it.

Get out of the way, and let the young folks work. Get rid of the state and local regulations against individuals building their own homes and new, small manufacturing shops.

Hmmm. That’s going to happen soon anyway, with the ongoing default processes and natural aging, isn’t it. Commies. Fascists.

[familyop]

Only one kind of exception regarding the unprecedentedly large complex of nursing homes, by the way. Older folks who do useful work, like building or repairing useful things with their own hands. Let them continue their work along with the younger folks without interference.

[FreedomNotSafety]

I agree but the world is not That Great City on a Hill versus the rest of the crummy world. The point is our government has no effective counter punch to Russian propaganda. We harangue the Russians as if everything would be great if they were only like the US...Pussy Riot and all.

I know many Russians and most of them idealize the US but it’s the US of the Reagan era, ironically. I tell them that country no longer exist.

Are you making excuses for RT? If so, why?

[1rudeboy]

Why is it getting easier all the time to consider the Russian propaganda machine as a more plausible news source than the US mainstream media?

Because of Barack Obama. Even I could not have predicted that conservatives would drool like Pavlov's dogs whenever somebody posted something from RT, though.

Maybe the stereotype is correct . . . we are the stupid ones.

[ETL]

Lenin of course had a name for these easily manipulated types, referring to them as Russia’s “useful idiots” in the West.

[1rudeboy]

Precisely. When do you see anyone excusing MSNBC because of RT? It’s always the other way around.

[Organic Panic]

Obama doesn't need Russian propaganda to make America look weak and pathetic.

[Rebelbase]

Because RT is no better than the alphabet networks that infest our country’s media.

[1rudeboy]

So, essentially, you are saying you prefer CNN to MSNBC. They’re all the same, right?

[Rebelbase]

All the same.

[1rudeboy]

So my question in #51 stands.

[Rebelbase]

Your question at 51 is stupid. If you want to rate media as you see fit go ahead and do it. I think they all suck and are no better than RT.
