Veteran Reporter Tears Into State Department Spox over Russian False-Flag Allegation: ‘You Have No Evidence’

Matt Lee, a veteran reporter with the Associated Press, put State Department spokesman Ned Price in the hot seat Thursday for refusing to provide evidence that Russia plans to stage a false-flag operation to justify an invasion of Ukraine.

During his opening remarks ahead of a press briefing, Price made the case “that Moscow might create a false flag operation” to justify an invasion of Ukraine, citing the existence of a Russian intelligence propaganda video that allegedly depicts “explosions and fake corpses,” “crisis actors pretending to be mourners” and “images of destroyed locations or military equipment” on the ground in Ukraine.

It is the Biden administration’s contention that Russia may stage an attack in the separatist regions of Ukraine as an excuse to intervene on behalf of the Russian speaking people there. If President Vladimir Putin declares these regions independent territory, the video could serve as the “green light” for Russian troops to move in, the U.S. government has claimed.

Lee challenged Price, saying the State Department had presented “no evidence” that Russia has actually created a “crisis actor” video and insisting that he wouldn’t be satisfied with the administration’s claims alone.

“If you doubt the credibility of the U.S. government, of the British government, of other governments and want to, you know, find solace in information that the Russians are putting out, that is for you to do,” Price responded.

The fact our government cannot be believed, even by AP, is a national security issue.

Of THEIR making.

And it cannot be fixed.

Must Watch, AP Journalist Matt Lee Questions State Dept About Claims of Russian Aggression

February 3, 2022 | Sundance | 652 Comments

If you watch anything today, this is it. 

AP Journalist Matt Lee has been around for a long time. He’s the consistent person in the State Department briefing room who understands the deep state institutional games, and he knows how to spot narrative engineering.

Earlier today State Department Spokesman Ned Price said, “The United States has information that Russia is planning to stage fabricated attacks by Ukrainian military or intelligence forces as a pretext for a further invasion of Ukraine.”

Journalist Matt Lee then asked Ned Price what the declassified evidence was that the state dept was referring to.  Price responded that he just gave it to the audience; meaning his word was the evidence.  Matt Lee calls bullshit on Price, and things got really interesting. 

WATCH:

Heated Exchange Between State Dept. & Media on Evidence Russia Fabricating Attacks by Ukraine

Folks, the intelligence state, the Fourth Branch of Government, is making it all up.  Everything about this Russian looming attack narrative has been manufactured out of whole cloth by the Intelligence Community and Biden administration.

The statements and position by Ned Price are transparently absurd.  Ridiculously so.  Matt Lee calling the bluff on the U.S. State Department, and comparing them to Alex Jones conspiracy theorists, is peak insanity.  No one trusts the U.S. government institutions any longer.  Everyone knows the “intelligence state” makes stuff up to steer and control events.  It’s a joke.

Russia is likely not doing anything, likely doesn’t even have a threatening posture, but yet, inside the DC bubble we are on the precipice of a thermonuclear war. We have passed through the looking glass, and now we are in bizarro world.

Fauci: I am science!

Price: I am evidence!

Watch this clip. It’s like “WMDs are in Iraq” having developed into a general credibility problem is not at all an issue for the admin.

[1Old Pro]

Sounds like a Brandon state department false flag.

[1Old Pro]

Fauci: I am science! Price: I am evidence!

Brandon: I am Lucid and received the most votes ever!

[griswold3]

Fauci: I am science!

Price: I am evidence

Good one!

[Its All Over Except ...]

Gov’t: but...but... WMD’s in Iraq, the withdrawl from Afghanistan won’t be like Saigon, the jab is safe, Obama didn’t put kids in cages, etc, etc.

[1Old Pro]

It’s like “WMDs are in Iraq”

Or, we have a plan to evacuate Afghanistan.

[House Atreides]

Evidence? We don’t have no evidence. We don’t need no stinkin’ evidence!

[DesertRhino]

Ned Price, another one of the skinny DC jotos that want to run America.

The crack analysts within the Biden cabal do all they can not to dispassionately analyze but to select tidbits and manufacture facts to support the political narrative. Even the dumbest analyst knows that almost every trans border invasion is preceded by some claim, usually fabricated, that the invasion was really a justifiable act of self defense. The Biden analysts figure the Russians will do this , so even without hard evidence, they make a “profound, insightful” observation and deduction that advances the political narrative. The Biden globalist cabal wants war and they are determined to have one.

[Lurker]

That’s a very cogent analysis.

This is what people refer to as a FACE PLANT by Price.

[stanne]

Ya. They did have a plan

Give bagramand all our weapons to the taliban and to the CCP if they want it.

[Dr. Ursus]

Somebody has the Krauts Eastern Front playbook!

[The_Media_never_lie]

Who was that State Dept. weenie? He was horrible!

[PGR88]

WMD’s in Iraq, the withdrawl from Afghanistan won’t be like Saigon, the jab is safe, Obama didn’t put kids in cages, etc, etc.

Trump is a Russian Agent, Impeachment over Ukraine phone call, January 6 "insurrection" etc, etc. etc.

The propaganda coming from the Uniparty DC deep state is as blatant, political and fake as any I have seen - and I have lived in communist countries.

You can trust almost nothing coming out of Washington DC. Everything has become pure political spin. Its inherently unstable. It can't go on for much longer without serious consequences.

[teeman8r]

of course, we have always been at war with East Asia.

[Qui is]

Somebody remind me, what country am I living in?

I know the money in my wallet says “The United States of America” but his BS our government is spewing is the exact same thing the Soviet Union spewed during the Cold War. It’s embarrassing and disturbing.

Crazy times we are living in.
