People Overestimate The US War Machine And Underestimate The US Propaganda Machine

Twitter’s algorithm has promoted a Ukrainian news channel called the “The Kyiv Independent”, which has allowed it to gain two million followers since it was formed in November 2021 by the European Endowment for Democracy, a spin-off of a CIA-front organization called the National Endowment for Democracy.

The co-founder of NED famously said, “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA”.

The channel promotes highly biased content in favor of Zelensky and the western powers that want to escalate the war between Russia and Ukraine to include NATO and U.S. forces.

The outlet is being so loudly amplified by Twitter that one of its reporters (who calls the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion his “brothers in arms“) has gained a million followers since the start of the Russian invasion.

Do you see how sophisticated just that one tiny component of the US-centralized empire‘s propaganda campaign is?

How many seemingly disparate and unrelated elements it has?

Multiple countries, NGOs, an ostensibly independent social media platform, an ostensibly independent news outlet.

Truly, one of the most under-appreciated and overwhelmingly powerful forces on this earth is the US propaganda machine.

The ability to manipulate public thought, not just within the United States but across vast swaths of nations, has allowed it to manufacture international consensus for whatever agendas it wishes to advance in a way that eclipses the collective organizing power of official international bodies like the United Nations.

Isn’t it ironic that Putin was complaining about Ukrainian being made the official language of Ukraine? And I have personally heard Russian speaking Ukrainians say that there is no prejudice or problem with speaking Russian there.

In Fairfax County they are printing everything (government documents, school memos, etc.) in multiple languages, claiming that students there speak “over 200 languages”.

When will English be made the official language of the United States?
