“OK whatever you say mister I-Wanna-Link.”

Like I say, that’s how we do things here.

Hilariously, there was video yesterday of a Pro-Putin woman being arrested in Moscow simply for talking to a journalist. The OMON goons thought she was “protesting” I guess. LOL.

Are you in kindergarten?

Remember, Putin is ex KGB. He will have his agents come after corporate leaders here in the the US. Polonium is plentiful in Russia. It can easily be carried on an airplane in 3oz bottles. The stupid TSA agents wouldn’t know what to look for.

Well the cable news certainly isn’t. All your silly overly large emojis doesn’t make it so.

Considering the US was first to promote banning all information that doesn’t fit the biden/WEF narrative it isn’t an easy task to search for the truth independently. But a wise person can smell propaganda when they are presented with it and seek to do the work that journalists used to be tasked with. Now journalists are hacks and government parrots.

But there are ways to seek the truth other than cable or alphabet channels. The truth is out there. If it is truth I don’t like, it is still the truth.

Yeah, there were old ladies arrested in DC for taking a walk through The People’s House. Didn’t even say a word, just waved their American flag.

Just terrible isn’t it?

I have had that experience of having heard something on cable, but have been unable to provide a link. Sometimes there is nothing to link. If a poster writes that it was something they heard on cable, it should be taken at face value and there’s no need to torch them for it. And until proven differently, there’s no need to accuse someone of MSU (Making S..t UP).

Putin Signs ‘Harsh’ Law Allowing Long Prison Terms For ‘False News’ About Army
https://www.rferl.org/a/31737627.html

“Amendments are made to Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code - “on the public dissemination of knowingly false information about the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in order to protect the interests of Russia and its citizens.”

“The punishment for the violation will be a fine of up to 5 million rubles or imprisonment for up to 10 years. If the spread of fakes entailed serious consequences, the term of imprisonment will be from 10 to 15 years.

“The law also introduces criminal penalties for calls for sanctions against Russia. For such actions, a fine of up to 500 thousand rubles is threatened, or restriction of freedom, or imprisonment for up to three years with a fine of up to 200 thousand rubles.

“The protester managed to show her message for just three seconds before she was swarmed by heavily armed officers at the capital’s famous Manezhnaya Square.

“She was detained after holding up the tiny paper sign which read “two words” in a shocking example of how the country is cracking down on free speech.

“...More than 14,200 people have been reportedly arrested in Russia for participating in antiwar protests since the invasion of Ukraine

How much press freedom does the US have? Seen any reports about election fraud in the media, even though nearly half of the country is convinced (rightly or wrongly) that it happened? How about vaccine failures? How about Biden’s Ukraine connections?

We compare Russia to a standard that we’re not even close to. Only difference is that we don’t need to jail people because they’re willing to take orders from the government.

And by the way, I never claimed that Russia’s press is any freer than ours.
