I’ve looked for the “Empire of Lies” speech on line in full from Russian or other sources - but it is BLOCKED.

Welcome to our America’s NWO Government and controlled media which are no better or different than China’s or Russia’s.

Here’s a whopper:

“We have been treating all new post-Soviet states with respect and will continue to act this way.”

Ukraine and a few others would disagree.

Another good one is when he says that prior to WW2 Russia tried so hard to stay at peace until Germany forced the war.

Left out that little part about joining with the nazis to attack Poland and share the carcass like a 2 person chicken dinner.

That plus 50 years of enslavement of all of Eastern Europe.

One gets the idea he’s speaking to an intelligent and educated populace.

Well he makes some good points but weakens it by saying that the USSR tried to avoid war in 39-40 when the USSR invaded Poland with Germany to start it.

But - the rest will play well with his audience.

The takeaway seems to be he’s a lying murdering bastard, but at the moment he’s reduced his goals considerably to save face.

Glad this maniac’s army got chewed up. The world owes Ukraine an incredible debt.

Ukraine would be a corrupt, globalist puppet that has consistently pushed to violate previous agreement on NATO and collaborated in our building a dozen bioweapons labs on Russia’s border.

In most of human history the elites controlled information and speech.

The reason was very simple—they had the political power and wanted to keep it.

If the citizens could speak freely they might decide that the elites were exploiting them and might decide to do something about it.

The elites always fear that the people might disseminate “disinformation”—which equals any views that oppose the ruler’s narratives—and “conspiracy theories” which suggest that the few are exploiting the many.

It's good to be able to read the original transcript before others put their spin on it.

Putin may be full of shit on some things in this speech, as politicians, spies and bureaucrats rarely tell the truth.

The 'Empire Of lies' thing really caught my attention, though, as we really have become what we feared most. Think of how much our own government has lied to its own citizens for the last 35 years or so. From Slick Willie bombing aspirin factories to the Big Steal of 2020 and beyond.

BINGO!!

At least he stands up for what is right for his country. I wish we could say the same about our leaders.

Anyone who thinks this is the end of this story or believes our censored national media or our government is very naive and foolish!

“Instead, we saw a state of euphoria created by the feeling of absolute superiority, a kind of modern absolutism, coupled with the low cultural standards and arrogance of those who formulated and pushed through decisions that suited only themselves.”

An excellent description and summation of the attitude of the Establishment / Deep State and its allies in Big Tech, Big Business, Big Pharma and the media. They steal elections, create fake pandemics, force medical experiments on the global population, mandate what may / may not be said, promote and normalize sexual deviancy, and indoctrinate our children with ideology and beliefs contrary our wishes and values. And they do so in unison and without fear of retribution.

I must admit that Putin is on target.

His biggest concerns came under the Clintons and Bush.

As an American citizen, I have a right to access information untouched by censors with nefarious goals. It is sickening that the mass cabal of tech, print and government work to deprive Americans of information from abroad.

What opinions the Administrative State BidenBots may form is out of my control, nor do I pay attention.

well, if we go by what the respective leaders say, he is by far the most articulate. (I know, the 2 minutes hate brigade will fact-check me).

Everything can be shaded, but when one guy just calls the other names and calls for removal of the opponent, and the other can lay out a case this well, it calls into question who exactly is the greater problem.

put it another way, postulate that there are currently 3 great powers in the world. if you look at the public messaging, and even policies of the 3, one has become completely unhinged in its messaging and propaganda.

Wars are a good way to deflect from internal economic issues, btw.
