everyone knows this. are you shocked a political speech shades things?
next do brandon, if you can find a coherent speech from him.
Brandon’s view is that white people are racist.
Putin’s view is that Russian people are proud of their country and heritage.
Xi’s view is that Chinese people are proud of their country and heritage.
It is kinda obvious who supports their own people—and who does not.
my concern on this topic is that it is quite possible that this gang running the show here may not be competent enough to pull this off without starting something they think they are too smart to fall into.
and some of them may not care about damage to the US if it keeps them in power.
lots of historical examples of wars being started in great part for domestic reasons.
someone recently described the US as the most propagandized major society in the world.
I cannot evaluate the alternatives, but I am not inclined to instantly dismiss the allegation either.
Look how quickly the US population has been re-focused to essentially support going to war over a former SSR. Four months ago support for this would have been single-digits?
I do believe that years of having to believe contradictory information given in official messaging has made the population more pliable, or easier to quickly reprogram. what is interesting is how social conservatives who normally believe essentially nothing from our media, much less the usual suspect globalist organizations and names, have fallen into lockstep on this.
our situation in the US reminds me of a combination of Orwell’s sheep in animal farm (bleeting out any dissenting questions) and the two minutes hate of 1984.
so no, I am not sure that we are not in fact the most propagandized society in the world, as far as major countries.
Always flatter your audience. They'll be more receptive. Thump your chest and use inspirational phrases. Rock on!!!
There’s a lot there to unpack, but I will say it’s refreshing to read someone who can string coherent sentences together rather the babble incoherently like Creepy Corrupt Joe does.
“Truth and facts mean nothing to the Putinistas Cult.”

Sigh. I know.
At least we have the main stream media to make sure we know the real truth.
Sad, but true. Americans are too busy discussing Will Smith and Cris Rock to listen to something so detailed.
The “empire of lies”... proceeds in its policy primarily from rough, direct force. This is when our saying on being “all brawn and no brains” applies.
It is indeed "hard to disagree with this" part - especially the comment about “all brawn and no brains”, with Dementia Joe as Commander in Chief. (Also makes you wonder about the sanity of people screaming for 'WAR NOW!', when we've got puddin'head in command! ;>)
Good post.
The true bottom of the barrel is England—the government owns the BBC, and they are among the most fanatical propagandists on the planet.
It is a very, very good speech. And he makes good sense.
NATO has taken on a life of its own. It’s a giant war machine, itching to launch Lockheed’s newest weapons at the bad guy of the week. Funded and supplied largely by the US.
US Senators and Congressmen get to go on paid junkets, wearing flak vests and eating caviar, and play Eleventy Star Generals, anf take campaign photo op pictures and collect another vig from Raytheon.
Like any giant bureaucracy, it wants to expand itself, find new justifications for its existence when the old reasons die out. Self-perpetuating.
NATO did break promises, bomb countries indiscriminately, mess up Belgrade, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya...on and on. Trillions in weapons fired, and replaced, on the US’s dime.
NATO should be disbanded, or at least the US needs to withdraw.
Period.
Kind of a 'Brexit' for the US, with a lot of potential benefits, and reasonably limited risks...
;>)
we are in a very dangerous time.
The US is a society undergoing a social revolution. We have a government upon which the recently-wrested crown rests uneasily. They seem to have matters triangulated nicely, but they don’t feel fully secure yet. Additionally, many of them appear to be ideologues.
At this point the historical precedents suggest we could be a very short number of years from a situation most here would deem impossible.
I think at this point anyone able to consider moving out of the US is getting multiple early warning signals to do so. as my profile shows, I am tied to panama but I am not sure how the little one-hex central american countries will do, they are all very tied to the US economically.
deeper in south america would be an area to investigate (brazil, chile. not sure on Arg. at this point, haven’t been in 20 years). No matter what the west does to itself or the northern hemisphere, Brazil in particular should be able to get by one way or another. Now if they go the mandatory vax route, that is yet another wrinkle (or have they alread?)
The Russians have more of a reason to be Ukraine than we ever did in Iraq.
Yes, we fomented a revolution in 2014 in Ukraine that divide the nation and resulted in neo-Nazis persecuting and continuing an eight-year war in Donbass against those of Russian ethnicity.
The same a-holes built a damn and cut the water of the people in Crimea, that willing didn't want a part of a government that has been installed illegally.
For years, experts and even idiots like Joe Biden warned Russia wouldn't continue to tolerate an eastward expansion of NATO, let alone in the backyard in a nation we heavily-armed. Yet, the idiot regime in the White House continued to tease the possibility of Ukraine joining.
It's our corrupt, aggressively anti-Russian foreign policy under Biden and Obama, Blinken and Nuland that caused this with neocon dim wits cheering it on.
I sometimes wonder what the US response would be if Russia befriended Mexico, fomented a revolution there, installed a puppet government, set up bio research labs, brought their Navel vessels into the Gulf of California and so on.
As long as the Mexican citizens were ok with it, I guess Washington would have to be too.
This array includes promises not to expand NATO eastwards even by an inch.
Sounds like his excuse to go after them he’s as crazy and power hungry as Hitler was.
Take their money away from the is taking their power from them but Biden is making billions for Putin by buying oil from Russia Biden is as crazy as he is.
