When The Lies Come Home
After lying for months, the media are preparing the public for Ukraine’s military collapse.

Diogenes, one of the ancient world’s illustrious philosophers, believed that lies were the currency of politics, and those lies were the ones he sought to expose and debase. To make his point, Diogenes occasionally carried a lit lantern through the streets of Athens in the daylight. If asked why, Diogenes would say he was searching for an honest man.
Finding an honest man today in Washington, D.C., is equally challenging. Diogenes would need a Xenon Searchlight in each hand.
Still, there are brief moments of clarity inside the Washington establishment. Having lied prolifically for months to the American public about the origins and conduct of the war in Ukraine, the media are now preparing the American, British, and other Western publics for Ukraine’s military collapse. It is long overdue.
The Western media did everything in its power to give the Ukrainian defense the appearance of far greater strength than it really possessed. Careful observers noted that the same video clips of Russian tanks under attack were shown repeatedly. Local counterattacks were reported as though they were operational maneuvers.
Russian errors were exaggerated out of all proportion to their significance. Russian losses and the true extent of Ukraine’s own losses were distorted, fabricated, or simply ignored. But conditions on the battlefield changed little over time. Once Ukrainian forces immobilized themselves in static defensive positions inside urban areas and the central Donbas, the Ukrainian position was hopeless. But this development was portrayed as failure by the Russians to gain “their objectives.”
Ground-combat forces that immobilize soldiers in prepared defenses will be identified, targeted, and destroyed from a distance. When persistent overhead intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets, whether manned or unmanned, are linked to precision guided-strike weapons or modern artillery systems informed by accurate targeting data, “holding ground” is fatal to any ground force. This is all the more true in Ukraine, because it was apparent from the first action that Moscow focused on the destruction of Ukrainian forces, not on the occupation of cities or the capture of Ukrainian territory west of the Dnieper River.
The result has been the piecemeal annihilation of Ukrainian forces. Only the episodic infusion of U.S. and allied weapons kept Kiev’s battered legions in the field; legions that are now dying in great numbers thanks to Washington’s proxy war.
Kiev’s war with Moscow is lost. Ukrainian forces are being bled white. Trained replacements do not exist in sufficient numbers to influence the battle, and the situation grows more desperate by the hour. No amount of U.S. and allied military aid or assistance short of direct military intervention by U.S. and NATO ground forces can change this harsh reality.
The problem today is not ceding territory and population to Moscow in Eastern Ukraine that Moscow already controls. The future of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions along with the Donbas is decided. Moscow is also likely to secure Kharkov and Odessa, two cities that are historically Russian and Russian-speaking, as well as the territory that adjoins them. These operations will extend the conflict through the summer. The problem now is how to stop the fighting.
Whether the fighting stops in the early fall will depend on two key factors. The first involves the leadership in Kiev. Will the Zelensky government consent to the Biden program for perpetual conflict with Russia?
If the Biden administration has its way, Kiev will continue to operate as a base for the buildup of new forces poised to threaten Moscow. In practice, this means Kiev must commit national suicide by exposing the Ukrainian heartland west of the Dnieper River to massive, devastating strikes by Russia’s long-range missile and rocket forces.
Of course, these developments are not inevitable. Berlin, Paris, Rome, Budapest, Bucharest, Sofia, Vilnius, Riga, Tallin, and, yes, even Warsaw, do not have to blindly follow Washington’s lead. Europeans, like most Americans, are already peering into the abyss of an all-encompassing economic downturn that Biden’s policies are creating at home. Unlike Americans who must cope with the consequences of Biden’s ill-conceived policies, European governments can opt out of Biden’s perpetual-war plan for Ukraine.
The second factor involves Washington itself. Having poured more than $60 billion or a little more than $18 billion a month in direct or indirect transfers into a Ukrainian state that is now crumbling, the important question is, what happens to millions of Ukrainians in the rest of the country that did not flee? And where will the funds come from to rebuild Ukraine’s shattered society in a developing global economic emergency?
When inflation costs the average American household an extra $460 per month to buy the same goods and services this year as they did last year, it is quite possible that Ukraine could sink quietly beneath the waves like the Titanic without evoking much concern in the American electorate. Experienced politicians know that the American span of attention to matters beyond America’s borders is so short that an admission of defeat in Ukraine would probably have little or no immediate consequences.
However, the effects of repeated strategic failures in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria are cumulative. In the 1980s, General Motors wanted to dictate the kind of automobiles Americans would buy, but American consumers had different ideas. That’s why G.M., which dominated the U.S. market for 77 years, lost its top spot to Toyota. Washington cannot dictate all outcomes, nor can Washington escape accountability for its profligate spending and having ruined American prosperity.
In November, Americans will go to the polls. The election itself will do more than test the integrity of the American electoral process. The election is also likely to ensure that Biden is remembered for his intransigence; his refusal to change course, like Herbert Hoover in 1932. Democrats will recall that their predecessors in the Democratic Party effectively ran against Hoover for more than a half century. Republicans may end up running against Joe Biden for the next 50 years.

Ukraine Caught Staging False Flag

1) Russian Military catches Ukraine faking war footage for western propaganda.
“It has been confirmed that Ukrainian security forces shot videos that purportedly showed damage caused by Russian armed forces to private households, as well as homeless civilians. The video production used more than 40 actors who were paid USD 25 each,” Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev said.
Yet another example as to why we cannot believe a single piece of western media coverage about the ongoings in Ukraine. Ghost of Kyiv, Snake Island, Maternity Ward, fake guns, green screens, media using recycled photos from other war zones in the past, using recycled footage from video games. ALL OF THEM WERE FAKE. If Russia is so evil, and committing endless war crimes, why do they have to keep faking all this stuff?
With this many lies from the Western media, how can we trust any of what they have said? HOW MUCH of what they reported was fake?
Thread. VIDEO
2) Russian MIL have repeatedly and publicly made aware they have no intention of harming civilians, and have consistently defended that they “do not attack civilian infrastructure,” said General Mizintsev.
Ukrainian Nazi forces have repeatedly and intentionally put military installations and weapons cashes near schools and residential areas, in an attempt to paint Russia’s MIL of committing war-crimes so they can fuel the western propaganda in an attempt to derail global support in Russia’s operation to expose Deep State biological weapons.
Here is a recent report from Russian Ministry of Defense, pertaining to all of the civilian facilities the Nazis utilize to use civilians as shields:
⚠️ Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ukrainian nationalist fighters continue to use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes:
🔹in Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk region, AFU and territorial defence units are stationed in school (Shevchenko st.), and military equipment and artillery are deployed in the immediate vicinity of the school;
🔹in Parkhomovka, Kharkov region, soldiers of the Ukrainian armed forces and foreign mercenaries are stationed in the building of the cultural centre, while armoured vehicles, artillery and multiple rocket launchers are located on the adjacent territory;
🔹in Nikolaev, Ukrainian nationalists have equipped firing positions on the lower and upper floors of residential buildings (Kosmonautov st.), with an anti-aircraft gun mounted on the roof of one of the buildings. Local residents are forcibly detained in said residences;
🔹in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People’s Republic, nationalists have equipped firing positions and sniper points on the territory of kindergarten No. 93 (Proizdnaya st.), and approaches to the building are mined, but the local population is deliberately not informed about this;
🔹in Odessa, Ukrainian militants have equipped a stronghold in school No 113 (Black Sea Cossacks st.) and placed heavy weapons and equipment in the courtyard;
🔹in Toretsk, Donetsk People’s Republic, AFU servicemen have equipped barracks and firing positions on the territory of the power plant, boarding school (Glinka st.), young technicians’ station (Shakhteher Avenue), school No 2 (Gogol st.) and school No 5 (Liberators of Donbas Street) and a stronghold and weapons storage facilities in a multi-storey residential building (Tereshkova st.).
▫️Local residents are forbidden to leave their flats, and all attempts by citizens to evacuate to safe areas are severely curtailed.
▫️Such actions by Kiev once again demonstrate an inhuman attitude towards the fate of its own citizens and show a complete disregard for all norms of morality and international humanitarian law.
❗️The crimes of the Kiev regime are still ignored by the world community and international organizations.
So what does this all mean?
It means that everything the western world knows about Ukraine is a highly calculated and formulated false reality, all in a massive attempt to create public distrust in Russia, to prevent the global awakening of Deep State biological network in Ukraine, and ultimately the discovery that C19 was a bioweapon intentionally released for a global power grab by genocidal maniacs.
The only thing the deep state has left is control of public perception. Their only plan of attack is to convince the sheep that Russia is evil and not to be trusted. But since Russian MIL are taking their time, operating under strict Rules of Engagement, and facilitating evacuation of civilians; the Deep State are having a hard time painting Putin as Hitler. So they have to make shit up.
So when deciding on which side to support, your choices are:
A) Russia, using civilian friendly RoE taking out deep state biolabs and exposing a US DNC network of bioterrorism in Ukraine
or
B) LITERAL Nazis using civilians and children as shields for military operations and using false flags to fake Russian war crimes so they can continue to brainwash and lie to the Western world, in an attempt to cover up the fact that they created C19 and are committing global biological genocide.
Hmmmmmm, idk about you, but I support Russia. And the sooner the Western world gives up the charade, the sooner we can eradicate this evil and walk into the next chapter of humanity.
