Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ The Associated Press has published yet another article based on unevidenced assertions by anonymous government officials about the scary horrifying frightening Russian menace, this time to accuse another media outlet of promoting propaganda. Without a trace of irony.
If I'm recalling correctly, allegations of Russian election interference didn't involve kicking third parties off the ballot, gerrymandering, bottomless dark money, Israeli loyalty oaths, limiting debate participants, voter role scrubbing, primary vote total shenanigans, single voice corporate media censorship, 6 hour waits in predominantly minority neighborhoods, billion dollar campaign thresholds, leaked debate questions, or dubiously slow multi-day vote tallies but instead posting a few Internet memes.
Wow, those Russians really know how to screw up an election.
On the topic of absurdity, I just posted an episode called Jokers on the Left, Clowns to the Right about Russell Brand's interview of Matt Taibbi. At first I was alarmed that Homeland Security labeled anyone a domestic threat agent who "undermines trust in US institutions." But after listening to Matt and Russell and Caitlin, I started laughing. How can you take this seriously? It's not an act of strength but of the empire flailing as it goes down. One viewer sent love to all the domestic threat agents around the world. DTA solidarity!
"Right now we're looking at a race, between humanity trying to awaken from the psychological cages that have been constructed for it, and the designers of those cages trying to finish tightening those bolts and lock down our minds forever."
Each day of the week, I find myself raging when seeing examples of psychological caging,
I read the press headlines, not a worry for me, ‘cause a long time ago I found the cage key
that allows me to judge from the words I am reading, the truth and the falsehoods, which ones are succeeding
in telling the readers that something is wrong…. as all of the media just sing the same song.
The song is from Joe, main name of Biden, who talks from the Blight House, for a short time, residin’,
He takes all his orders from Israel of late, (which all people know is an apartheid state)
They get their instructions from BlackRock and others, controlling big business like Mafia brothers.....
bombmakers, bankers, all the same breeding, not giving a damn what the people are needing.
So a word of advice, let your friends know the facts, the truthful supporters, the decency acts,
don’t give up searching for truth on the pages, just try and avoid psychological cages.
Special Counsel John Durham is going to have the software controlling the accelerator in his car malfunction any day now, as all this "look over there" distraction is getting too repetitive to work.
There's such a thing as real Russian propaganda, and it's heavy-handed, clumsy, and often written in not-very-good English. But as to the Ukraine situation, there are people who come to pretty much the same conclusions, and they're pretty damned respectable, for example, Prof. John Mearsheimer, of the University of Chicago, who did this piece on the Ukraine situation in 2015 - and he could have done it last week: "UnCommon Core: The Causes and Consequences of the Ukraine Crisis. John J. Mearsheimer, the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor in Political Science and Co-director of the Program on International Security Policy at the University of Chicago, assesses the causes of the present Ukraine crisis, the best way to end it, and its consequences for all of the main actors. A key assumption is that in order to come up with the optimum plan for ending the crisis, it is essential to know what caused the crisis. Regarding the all-important question of causes, the key issue is whether Russia or the West bears primary responsibility." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4

It's a fun episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLp-RMC5AhQ
"Theater of Absurd...America demands explanation of Russian troops on Russian soil"...
It's not theater; it must have been written by The Onion newspaper. LOL
FYI, you utterly beclowned N.N. Taleb on Twitter. Or he beclowned himself with great aplomb.
AP is an acronym for All Poop
Every empire is dependent upon force and fraud.
It uses force when it no longer is able to defraud.
A profound statement from Caitlin......

So what is "reported" on CNN, MSNBC, and in the NYT, WaPo, etc isn't propaganda????? As Sniffy would say.....Come on man!
The wallet thing made me laugh so hard I almost pissed myself. Thanks.
