U.S. Helps Pro-Ukraine Media Run a Fog Machine of War
RealClearInvestigations ^ | 4/11/24 | Lee Fang

Ukraine’s American-backed fight against Russia is being waged not only in the blood-soaked trenches of the Donbas region but also on what military planners call the cognitive battlefield – to win hearts and minds.

A sprawling constellation of media outlets organized with substantial funding and direction from the U.S. government has not just worked to counter Russian propaganda but has supported strong censorship laws and shutdowns of dissident outlets, disseminated disinformation of its own, and sought to silence critics of the war, including many American citizens.

Economist Jeffrey Sachs, commentator Tucker Carlson, journalist Glenn Greenwald, and University of Chicago Professor John Mearsheimer are among the critics on both the left and the right who have been cast as part of a “network of Russian propaganda.”

Shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone, but RealClearInvestigations has done a piece on Western propaganda efforts that remind us that Washington's trolls are a much more powerful and dangerous force than "Russian trolls" (i.e., anyone who dissents from the western elites fetish for war and hypocrisy.)

See crystal clearly!

www.forex.com

It takes 15mins to sign up and buy all the rubles anyone wants to own.

They’re 40% off and only for folks with an iota of conviction in their beliefs.

instantly, one will see crystal clearly.

I suspect the folks prefer the fog.

Network of Russian Propaganda….
———
Anyone challenging senile Joe’s narrative….collective West narrative. It is a shame we have to go to foreign news agencies to get the facts and geo located videos.

Much like senile Joe’s Covid vax hoax, post war analysis will reveal how Americans were lied to and absurd amounts of taxpayers money was flushed down the filthy Ukie toilet.

Yes, but they have no comprehension of what they Zeeper-Freeper lie about. I take particular pleasure in dismanteling their BS. The Mitt Romeny lovers are the core Zeeper Cadre and they can justify their own traitorous behavior for two pueces of silver.

Bitcoin over dollars. Rubles may actually be backed by gold sooner than the end of this war. 70k today... 170K in 90 days. Dollars are going to backed by BTC in 12 years.

Brics on the Gold Standard and the west on BTC.

BOOKMARK IT.

We have Russian trolls in Russia working against America.
And we have Russian trolls IN America dividing us.
And we have some naive Americans pushing Russian propaganda for free, as they are oblivious about it.

He is paying 16% interest these days.

Backing it with gold may be a no choice solution at some point.

I’m pretty sure that I posted to you at one point that I own BTC but also owned egold. I’m not nearly as optimistic as the others. I’m a believer in if one doesn’t lose money from time to time, one is not taking on enough risk.

GL with your positions.

Are you willing to also allow for the reality of Washington-trolls? Or is it only opponents of your view that count as trolls?

“And we have Russian trolls IN America dividing us.”

What’s this “we” Frenchy? You’re just on the other side. We don’t want either of you.

Oh, Frenchie, how we love to hear you pontificate. It’s oh so inspirational. Makes us want to drain America’s dwindling wealth to support OTHER-PEOPLE’S-WARS.

I don’t own any rubles.

I’m not short US bonds-

but if I thought Russia was winning or the dollar was about to be vaporized thanks to the obscene debt-

I’d own rubles and I’d short US bonds.
(both trades are easily accessed by anyone)

Plenty of folks seem to believe both things are forgone conclusions-yet not with enough conviction to do anything about it.

Sorry for the confusion.

Free Republic actually used to be a nice website, before you let the organized Russian propagandists and America-haters take it over

Now, it’s a threat to one’s mental health

“I didn’t leave Free Republic, Free Republic left me”

Truth

Professional influencers are all over this website promoting the interests of other nations at America’s expense. Lots of legitimate members are confused and discouraged by them imo.

Reducing America’s reputation and influence is of course one of their goals.

It’s classic Info Ops.

“Russian trolls” (i.e., anyone who dissents from the western elites fetish for war and hypocrisy.) or who admit to being Russian, or former Soviet Army officers, or live in Russia.
