During communist period there were American ex-pats in Russia and Cuba cutting similar pieces in reverse for Pravda on how crappy it is to live in the West. This one is written by the same type of person, it has some truths and half-truths but the entire message is quite perverted.
It is stupid to say there are no ills accompanying Russian transition to free market but to say they are prevalent is about as correct as to say that the United States is a nation of racism and Wall Street oligarchs have stolen American dream from general population.
There are might be some truths to it but the entire picture is very different for a ‘half-full glass’ people.
...It was truly remarkable watching all the media reports mirror each other almost identical....I spotted it quickly this time around as the tactics and mouth pieces were so much like how the media reported regarding Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood. The US was supporting the Muslim Brotherhood directly and indirectly....which we saw early on BEFORE it became active on US media.
So likewise the “Blame Russia” Campaign worked and is still working today. Actually Russia has put Sputnik up as a news source...have you seen it yet? Apparently to offset the US Propaganda Machine working in full force.
Interesting is also is the recent “story “ on Amnesty...that Obama actually "didn't sign" an agreement though it was certainly the story running.....once again the media and this Administration played deceptive games to accomplish their purpose which was manipulating Congress and the public.....apparently BO does not have his signature on anything at all regarding this.
Ferguson and these marches are yet again crating the chaos (cover) to distacr and occupy people.
My point of course is the US and Russia both have Propaganda Machines working in each country ‘to deceive their people’ and on the International Stage to deceive the nations.
It's not a Cold War at all....it's a very HOT and active communication and high tech war....both shaping public opinion and creating movements on the ground to promote their positions.
Recent Chechnya Hotel burning etc....we had people on the ground.
