If U.S. Intelligence Will Lie So Easily About Anything, Why Would We Believe Them About Ukraine?
The Conservative Treehouse - The Last Refuge ^ | March 19, 2022 | Sundance

Posted on 03/19/2022 3:43:49 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

When we wrote about the media effort in 2018 {Go Deep}, specifically the collusion between the intelligence and national security agencies of the United States government, I asked the question, “Do we really think such a catastrophic level of corrupted journalism could reconstitute into genuine reporting of fact-based information?” The answer then, as now, is the same, NO. Indeed, it has only gotten worse in the past four years.

For the past several days, I have been highlighting a simple question on social media about something missing in the Ukraine story.

Where are the social media posts, from Ukraine citizens, that would support the narrative, as it is being told by Western media, about events happening in Ukraine?

Seemingly, Ukraine is the only conflict in modern human history where a pop culture society of more than 40 million technologically connected people decided not to document every moment of it on social media.

Considering the scale and scope of the conflict, and considering the Ukraine population of more than 40 million is far larger than Canada, and considering that population is located in a country the size of Texas, and considering they are a western technologically connected society with tens of millions of cell phones, we should be seeing a great deal of footage, pictures and images from ordinary Ukrainian citizens. However, we don’t. Why?

I’m not talking about the professional war social media accounts, and/or military-centric accounts, which, to be fair do have lots of images and footage of Russian and Ukrainian conflicts. I’m talking about the ordinary man/woman in the major population centers, who under normal circumstances would be generating tens-of-thousands of social media posts to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, YouTube, etc.

Didn't "50 ranking present and former" intelligence agents swear that Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation". LOL. It is not even cynical anymore to say that you can't believe a single word which the "authorities" offer.

At this point it's smarter to believe the opposite of their sworn pronouncements.

Your comments do not surprise me, seeing as your support of Russia and your condemnation of Ukraine here on Free Republic goes back at least by my readings, 3 to 4 years, and your continued "State Department" nonsense. I bet right now if I ask you to commit to at least a straight-up condemnation of the Russian attack on Ukraine (invasion) and indiscriminate artillery shelling, missile strikes and bombing of Ukraine's civilian population in Kherson, Kiev, Khirkov, Mariupol, Melitopol etc., you will take a "pass".

Ain't that right, Ivan?

Its amazing how quick some here are to believe the very same people who have lied to us about absolutely everything for the last several years.

The Deep State/3 letter agencies, the Corporate Media, Big Tech, Neocons.....remember those people? Remember all of their lies about well, every single last thing?

Gosh, what are the odds they’re lying through their teeth about Ukraine right now?
.............................................
Well and truly said. But what I find even more amazing is that so many people in this country are devoid of any real critical thinking skills and either accept as true virtually everything the criminals you’ve referred to say, or they simply tune the liars out, being completely unaware that what they’re saying and doing could end up getting us all killed. I’ve always believed, and taught my children, that skepticism is an intellectual virtue!

“Trust but verify” is an old Russian proverb made famous when used (in English) by President Reagan.

I don’t believe a damn word coming from FBI, CIA, CDC, NIH, if they tell you something truth is the exact opposite!!!
..............................................
You’ve expressed the thinking of everyone who has been paying close attention to these agencies since the weaponizing of them to destroy America was initiated by the Obama regime following the 2012 election.

With all due respect if you still believe anything out of the US government after Iraq WMD’s, 911, Boston Bombers, Libya-Benghazi, the 2016 election Russia coups, the deep state 2020 election coup and certainly after the covid lie festival you’ve been living under a rock.
....................................................
Well and truly said. Such people are so naive because they have no critical thinking skills, or else it could be they’re on the opposing team!

It doesn’t matter if he runs a snow cone stand. His ideas are stand alone, and do not depend on “who” he is. Credentials are a game for State Department trolls.

BINGO! Well done, my friend!
