Zelensky Thanks Zuckerberg For Helping Him Win the Propaganda War
Summit News ^ | 14 March, 2022 | Paul Joseph Watson

“It is also a fierce battle in the informational space.”..

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Facebook for its role in helping him win the propaganda war after the platform announced it would permit calls for violence against Russians.

Following its move to allow praise for the pro-Ukraine neo-nazi Azov Battalion last week, Facebook said they would permit ‘calls for violence against Russians’.

“As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine we have temporarily made allowances for forms of political expression that would normally violate our rules like violent speech such as ‘death to the Russian invaders.’ We still won’t allow credible calls for violence against Russian civilians,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement.

Moscow responded by banning both Facebook and Instagram in Russia.

President Zelensky took to Twitter to thank Zuckerberg for standing with Ukraine in the “informational space.”

“War is not only a military opposition on UA land. It is also a fierce battle in the informational space,” Zelensky tweeted. “I want to thank @Meta and other platforms that have an active position that help and stand side by side with the Ukrainians.”

In other words, Facebook is directly aiding Ukraine by allowing pro-Ukraine propaganda to spread while banning any pro-Russia propaganda.

This despite the fact that there have been numerous huge fabricated stories in just a few weeks alone, including the Snake Island hoax and the supposed attack on a Holocaust memorial in Kiev that never happened.

“Facebook has helped Zelensky himself spread endless disinformation to try and con NATO into World War III,” comments Chris Menahan. “Most recently, they helped Zelensky spread the lie that Russians attacked the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant with tanks and it was leaking radiation and could lead to a nuclear holocaust wiping out all of Europe (if NATO doesn’t immediately get involved in the war and start WW3).”

“They also helped Zelensky spread the lie that Russians attacked the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and were trying to trigger a meltdown.”

Facebook’s decision to allow its platform to be used to advocate for violence against Russians was also made despite actual real world violence being directed towards Russians.

A Russian cultural center in Paris was firebombed last weekend, while a man in Dublin also drove a truck into the gates of the Russian embassy.

They are treating the American people like mushrooms, fed sh*t and kept in the dark.

Censorship is the exact opposite of free speech.

And the Biden-Harris administration also thanks Zuckerberg for the election "donations."

Is there a pattern here?

All you need to know.

Remember that propaganda done well got everyone in Europe to let their governments round up and murder people of one religion. Remember that this generation today raced for dangerous ineffective vaccine shots because the governments paid the media for hard propaganda.

Propaganda might be more important to get your way than bombs.

The facts and evidence have proven them to be correct. To the exclusion of every doubt. Reasonable or unreasonable. A bigger bunch of fools [They passed the stupid and idiot stage] has never been seen in all history. Proof of this, if further proof is needed is that they threw out an honest President and replaced him with the biggest liar and thief in the history of man. To wit} Lying Joe Biden.

Obviously a “Violation of Russian Community Standards.”

US oligarchs like Zuckerberg, Soros, etc., have inflicted far more damage on the US than the Russian oligarchs whose property we’ve been seizing have. I’d like to see a crack-down on US oligarchs, but I know that won’t happen because our oligarchs run things here.

Zelinsky aligning himself with Soros and Zuckerberg makes him an enemy of the US just as much as Putin is. A pox on both of them.

--- "It is also a fierce battle in the informational space.”

War conducted with propaganda. Nothing new in that from any side in any war in the last century.

I tried to give Zelensky the benefit of the doubt because he was honest about his phone call with Trump but it appears he’s just a NWO puppet.

Yup. You can tell a person’s character more by the enemies they have.

Post 13 has euram saying, "A pox on both of them."

When there are more than two positions, the "two" demand one pick sides, as if they are the only two. I agree, "A pox on both of them."

' What is going on in the world is far more complex for many "either-or" position except one crystal clear divide. Liberty versus enslavement.
