When we shared yesterday that all interested observers should be very wary of the information from media sources around Ukraine, there was a reason for that. Question everything. Take nothing at face value.
If you have never experienced the propaganda push surrounding war, the totality of the inbound bullsh*t can be destabilizing, overwhelming and unnerving. It’s one of the reasons why CTH doesn’t share immediate information. Everyone has an agenda.
Everything we are seeing in U.S. media surrounding U.S. interests in Ukraine is a massive propaganda operation with the headquarters in the U.S. State Department and U.S. intelligence community. The sense of sympathy you are feeling is part of an intentionally manipulative operation from within this DC matrix.
The images, pictures, videos, speeches, soundbites and the cinematography broadcast by U.S. corporate media are all purposefully intended to create a very specific outlook within the American people toward the issues in Ukraine. The leftist United Nations, and the leftist U.S State Dept, will work together on this just like they have done in the prior examples (Ukraine 1.0, Libya, Egypt, etc.).
It is very easy to become a victim of psychological warfare intended to manipulate our opinions.
The neocons, war promoting agents working on behalf of the UniParty and the collective globalist interests, are all united in their effort.
Unfortunately, almost everything being transmitted from corporate news into our psyche is part of a battle for your mind. The goal is to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This is why people who are familiar with these types of tactics often tap-out when the drumbeats get loudest.
The White House, which means the total globalist effort, tipped their hand earlier last week when they defined “strategic power” and their outlook toward winning the battle for the mind. Everything is about writing a script, creating a narrative, building a “better story,” where the globalists are the heroes. In essence, the “strategic power” battle is for your mind…
…”Ultimately, the goal of our sanctions is to make this a strategic failure for Russia; and let’s define a little bit of what that means. Strategic success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory; that’s what Putin has done.
In this century, strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication and your story – who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill? And on each of those measures, this will be a failure for Russia.”
Everything in modern warfare is storytelling.
Question all of it.
The stories of the 13 guards on an island telling the Russian naval ship to fuck off… yeah, it was a lie (turns out they surrendered). The “Ghost of Kyiv” pilot, the lady with the sunflower seeds etc., now all recognized as lies and propaganda. And do not expect it to stop, because it won’t. Thus, the nature of warfare for your mind.
I'm all for crippling the Russian economy and international relationships as rapidly as possible. It is important to do that not only for its own sake, but to put China on notice that any attempt to grab Taiwan will result in the same level of world condemnation and ostracizing that Russia is now facing.
Not sure why Putin seems to have such a fan club among certain conservatives.
*surprised
Yeah, typos.
Agree, Ukraine was blessed that the Globalist puppet Lashanko was overthrown, and they got a true fiey Nationalist
You must not have gotten the memo saying that everything should be questioned except the pro-Russia drivel in this article.
That's because the leftists at DU buy into the idea that Trump is Putin's lackey. For those of us who don't believe that Trump is Putin's lackey, there is absolutely no problem with us condemning Putin because it doesn't reflect on Trump in the least.
If you buy into the idea that condemning Putin is inherently trashing Trump, then you are singing the exact song the left wants you to sing.
I wonder if these DUmmies realize that Ukrainians don’t care for faggots.
An excellent observation. I think in other areas, they've been doing this throughout these last many months.
Maybe Sundance went so deep down the rabbit hole that he went all the way through to Russia.
Must have taken a wrong turn at Albequerque!
"Death to Videodrome! Long live The New Flesh!"
(Seems appropriate, with the 24/7 "shark jumping" propaganda coming in from all directions... ;>)
The Chechens were sent into Ukraine expressly to go after Azov as payback for that unit’s actions in the Chechen war.
Stephan Bandera is considered a hero by some, and a Nazi by others in Ukraine. The main avenue in many Ukrainian cities is named after him now - I had no idea of him until today.

Smart guy. I don’t know about NAZIs, but I do know a large percentage of Ukrainians identity as Russian, or have Russian sympathies. My Ukrainian Jewish friends have never supported a Ukraine in opposition to Russia.
Ukraine was locked into the USSR for so long that it’s identity amongst its own population was flawed. As the USSR flew apart from centrifugal force the Russian center has remorse at its disintegration and makes war to control its once province.
Disgusting use of force.
“It’s weird the 24/7 posters crawling out of their holes suddenly filled with love, admiration, and kinship for the Ukrainian people.”
And what is even more weird, are posters crawling out of their holes suddenly filled with love and admiration for Putin’s invasion to destroy Ukraine, something the Russians have done for the third time in less than a hundred years, slaughtering millions of innocents.
There is a PsyOps feel about this whole thing. You are supposed to adopt a certain viewpoint and accept a narrative based simply on what they tell you.
And don’t forget the catch phrases we’re all supposed to repeat. I guess instead of just saying “stay safe”, as all the COVID Karen’s have been doing for the last 2 years, we should now say “stay safe and pray for Ukraina”.
And the Chinese and Iranians support your guy Putin. Maybe YOU’D be comfortable with THEM.
The Ukrainians were slaughtering Jews with such barbarism, that the Nazis had to “restore order to the extermination process” when they arrived.
And I’m sick of being told that Ukrainian women are the most beautiful in the world. LOL, they’re just as cold, nasty, and gold diggering as the Russian women.
You don’t have to support one side over the other. I’ve seen dozens and dozens of heretofore unknown and unseen FR posters suddenly appearing to wave the flag of, for all intents and purposes, their mother country Ukraine. It’s psyops and it tells me FR is embedded with frauds.
And the fiery nationalist will deliver a Ukraine full of destroyed infrastructure, jobs gone away, people fleeing out of Ukraine by the 100’s of thousands, and those people who remain will find empty food stores. Nice going fiery nationalist.
If California secedes to Mexico after Hispanics become a majority, should US bother with CA?
