Listen to a reading of this article: The Associated Press journalist who reported a US intelligence official's false claim that Russia had launched missiles at Poland last week has been fired. As we discussed previously, AP's anonymously sourced report
Our intel agencies never lie. Well, except about the Kennedy assassinations, trafficking drugs and guns, the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, who really did 911, the destruction of Nordstream and a few other things.
I'm reading "The Long Night" about William Shirer and it describes the time when he was in Berlin and how the correspondents struggled with reporting out of Nazi Germany. If we apply censorship as a universal concept from then to now, then we get the picture.
I'll repeat what I said many times: read about 1920-30's Germany and Europe as a whole. There are straight parallels to what's happening now.
The narrative machines across our corrupt society have become so entrenched, they're all many know, both the victims and the sycophant functionaries. As easy to believe them incapable of reasoning outside of it, as deliberately duplicitous. They can justify the censorship of any dissonant suggestion with unexamined reactionary self-righteousness and amplify the most unlikely lie without a thought, assuring the approval of their paymasters. And any who confront their hypocrisy, are the pariah in this upside-down, fatally flawed horror show. #DirectAction #EssentialNeeds #TrustedCommunities and get there is no reason to believe the machine will change course significantly. The steering is being done by unaddressed, inherent, human irrationality, unfettered by any effective, timely countering process and we're undergoing empire collapse acceleration, filtered by endless denial.
I am guessing that we were all supposed to conflate "missile made by Russia" with "missile fired by Russia". Since the media has been carefully spooning out utter crap to us for so long, they had no reason to think this would not create a frenzy of nuke-mongering.
All our media sources are staffed by morons incapable of even recognizing a liar who just told them 2+2=100 as long as they work for a government agency. None of this is new, What’s different is the proliferation of data collection and storage, even the MSM liars data is saved giving us an opportunity to call them out.
This is VERY backwards and it MUST END NOW. Amen to that!
Forty years ago, we had all sorts of double-checks and verification procedures in place in a newsroom. If there wasn't a second source, you didn't print the story until there was one. The money the propagandists are pumping into the mainstream media outlets must be enough to put even the most sensitive editor's conscience to sleep.
Believing a government, any government, without fact checking is an act of ignorance and complicity in the propaganda machine. No government exists that will not deceive for their own purpose. Thanks for reporting on the deceit of the Empire.
Sorry for my pessimism, but I don't see anything changing for the better. These so-called journalists can get away with it because there are millions who are structurally incapable of critical thinking and will swallow anything they're fed. They parrot the parrots.
Rule of thumb should be NEVER assume US intelligence officer, reporter, bureau, is right, and check well before accepting or repeating information. You should never assume anyone/source is right, but American intelligence? Any responsible person would have to be comatose to accept that on its face.
They're not journalists, they're just stenographers at this point.

Good people. Take them at their word.

Any "journalist" who attempts to name a US intelligence official is going to run foul of the same law as Julian Assange.

Huxley and Orwell warned us of these developments and now Western Liberals feign surprise.
It really is pathetic.

Even in their partial retraction they said it was a Russian Missile. Still putting the blame on Russia in their readers minds.
Zelensky was pushing for a nuclear war, even after nato, biden etc said it was an accident.
Luckily "Imagination" has nothing to do with a PROVEN TRACK RECORD!
...for some reason , I see in the future lot of crying in the ''western world'' !....
