We even admitted at one point that Maiden was largely instigated by us.

You should read the article I provided in Qoura. It provides a detailed explanation of who, when, how and then sources all of it, in how we caused this revolt.

Outside help to fuel a revolt is nothing new: https://www.dw.com/en/how-germany-got-the-russian-revolution-off-the-ground/a-41195312#:~:text=A%20political%20paradox%2C%20or%20so,been%20at%20war%20since%201914

Roughly 40 Russian media outlets are censored (blocked) in the US. Many of the arguments when made get censored (deleted) in social media. But a little Nazi chat is OK since they aren't so bad anymore: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/facebook-new-zealand-neo-nazis-white-supremacists-a8837886.html

Al Jazeera isn't pro-Russian, they just aren't pro-US. Sadly, it's foreign media today that often fills the gaps since our media being managed to the degree it is has become sterile. Al-Jazeere for example had a very good article when the entire Nazi and Ukraine story broke. At that time few people were aware of any of this and in fact were in disbelief. Al-Jazeere delved into the story well: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/1/who-are-the-azov-regiment I can see why you would not like them, since they don't march according to our orders, Ukraine = Good, Russia = bad (now write all stories accordingly).

When you censor one side, but allow free reign for the other, you end up with a Ghosts of Kiev. Fake-

Stories about little girls with yellow and blue ribbons in their hair, sucking a lollipop and holding a shotgun. Staged-

Stories about telling the Russians “F-you” when trying to hold Snake Island. Fake-

Meantime, you get little reporting on the use of mercenaries, Ukrainian casualties and material losses, what cities have been lost that day, forced conscription...

Our media was FULL of reports on how the Ruble will collapse - for days as we implimented our sanctions. It hasn't, but the Ukrainian Hryvnia has recently, where's the flood of news stories?

The West controls the narrative which its people hear and see, so all they see are heroic Ukrainian victories, massive Russian losses and someone discontent speaking out, the horrible evils Russian soldiers comit but not one story about any Ukrainian attrocities (and there are many to include executing POW, shooting kids that are scared and want to run away once shot at...) One sided reporting because of a MSM that is lockstep with government in this case (mutual interests), and social media (where most people today get their news from) which censors.

(mass censorship) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation_Governance_Board Despite being “paused” the US basically runs a mass censorship program, and this has been the case even before this board was announced. All the activities of this board were and are still being conducted, you just don't have an official board setting standardized national guidelines on how this censorship looks like. However, you have the DHS, State Department, DoD, CIA, NSA, FBI, all in the censorship business. They aren't coordinated 100% because you don't have one centralized US government censorship authority (what the DHS wants to create and make itself the head of), but we have mass censorship. The classification system is heavily used to shield bureaucrats and in some cases politicians from public scrutiny and avoid litigation. The classification system has become a rubber stamp for every government agency and the MSM is reluctant to publish these things. Finally, FOIA has lost its effectiveness. Government agencies have been able to redefine the standards to their liking, which basically means you get a bunch of junk and half the page is redacted.

For example, this is Twitter and thanks to Elon Musk this transparency in government censorship became possible. Musk has become somewhat of a champion for free speech (good for him!): https://x.com/EpochTimes/status/1615354395813883905/photo/1

(mass propaganda) At the same time, you have mass US government propaganda. Propaganda is government information operations intended to influence perceptions and thereby change behaviors. Propaganda is akin to advertising, only that is civilian / corporate. In the US we have a massive government media presence. You have in some cases government embedded in the private media, social media and big tech. You also have pure government media outlets (Agency for Global Media, NPR...) and every government agency has doubled or even tripled there organic PR personnel. For example, a 600 personnel FBI field office has 2 full time media reps and 2 full time social media reps. By controlling access the government can also shape how the media plays along. For example, the White House and Pentagon will simply not give those journalists which ask hard questions and are critical easy access. Play along is the message.

You do not need to look hard or long to see this censorship and propaganda model at work: J6, 2020 elections, Covid, Ukraine.

Everything which fell outside the governments narrative regards covid was labeled as mis or dis information and usually not reported on, or reported on only as a crazy conspiracy theory, deleted in social media, and having those people which post this seeing their accounts suspended: Wuhan origin, gain of function, mortality rates, vaccine effectiveness, vaccine safety, mask effectiveness, social distancing requirements.

One simple question: where were the “crazy conspiracy theorists” wrong?

That is what happens when you get a stupid / uniformed public. The MSM is not providing accurate and timely information, they will public what they KNOW is factually false or partially false. Presenting both sides on issues where there is conflict has become the exception, not a norm. The MSM, social media and Google are in the business of “influencing” perceptions on those issues deemed important by the federal government, especially when the White House is filled with a Democrat.

You literally have to go to the fringes, and step outside of the main stream, to get any sort thought other than the official corporate-government message, example TCN, Info Wars, foreign media (outside the West).

You have to actively work on getting around all the US / Euro censorship if you want to actually hear the other side. No different than in the East Block where folks also had to exert effort on trying to receive Western radio which was being jammed, get their hands on Western news papers which were banned, etc. Only today that's us doing these things and because EVERYTHING is over IP today, it's much easier to do.

Sad state of affairs for the home of the free and brave, where we once talked about government transparency, free speech, a right to expression, and a watchdog media.

That link goes to some sort of blog, my daughter says. Not an article at all.
