The "media" is the propaganda arm of the MIC, banks, and corporations. Everything they push needs to be viewed through that lens. The only reputable sources of info are independent.

"Lunatics" is a good word to use. And the worst part about it, these people don't even realize they are lunatics.

"Let's show the world our war plans to take on China on national TV... It'll scare them into giving in to us before we actually start it. Seems like a fool-proof plan to me."-- One of the Lunatic Warmongers of the MIC

🎯 Caitlin. They’ve given up all pretence at decency. At least Genghis Khan or even the Visigoths were not sanctimonious. Ely Ratner? No surprise there.

The Taiwan thing is just more subterfuge, like Kurds, like WMDs , like educating Afghan women. As if! The US can’t cope with China’s ascendancy. So what excuse can they find?

Is it true to say that 'they', the elites and plutocracy, need us more than we need them? Maybe that's what scares them. I'm not talking about getting rid of them, just withdrawing support wherever possible and letting them know that ordinary people across the globe will not be drawn into their madness. We can give them a warning and final notice to climb down off their egos and join the motley plebs in seeking peace. Or else the sacrosanct world order they so demand, and that they pursue to the end of the earth, will be dismantled from the bottom up. They cannot have our kids to fight their wars, they cannot have our sweat, they cannot expect our mandate or collusion. We are not as obtuse as they are. We are not helpless. This has to be a global message before they shut down communication; 'Hell No, we won't go'. And tell them to not reach into their dirty bag of tricks to scare or further divide us. We are strong without being violent. They are weak in their fear and resort to violence. They don't know us because they haven't been here with us.

On 60 Minutes is a pro-war piece on Bellingcat, which pretends to be a fact-checking organization but in fact is yet another shill for pushing the Russia "war-crime" narrative, amongst other propaganda tasks. Like Snopes and other alleged "fact-checkers" and pseudo-independent organizations.

This reminds me of the alternative history Thursday Next novels, in which the Crimean War has been going on uninterrupted since the 19th c.

fearmongering (for domestic consumption) and terrorizing (for external control and domination) is the only tool for the imperialist war profiteers / war criminals to have left. Putin called their bluff with the "special operation" and they can only bluff more and harder.

I ran across this the other day and I was like "WTF." We know this shit goes on behind the scenes and has forever, but to broadcast it on cable news is beyond the pale. What is the strategy behind broadcasting this to a largely braindead ignorant public? Is it about sending a message to China? What's the message? "Here's what we'll do in the event you attack and invade Taiwan." Nothing like telegraphing to your alleged enemy what you will do in advance.

Do they think that they are playing a video game?
