Well done, Caitlin. Quote of the year: "Western news media is just one big circle jerk of bootlicking assholes seeking validation from other bootlicking assholes." LMAO!

Excellent essay, as always. There are so many quotable lines, so eloquently written. (And with some much needed humor to digest the catastrophe of it all!)

Keep doing what you’re doing! You’re an exquisitely rare voice of clarity and sanity in an increasingly confusing - and confused - world.

How any statesman can advocate for more war and death and not advocate for peace is beyond understanding. But then Boris and Churchill are of the same cloth. Churchill had no compunction about sending many a man to their death needlessly, all in pursuit of the illusion of being right.

Cannot congratulate you enough for this piece of TRUTH. The most accurate description of "journalism" and society at large, for that matter.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your effort in keeping on writing.

It's madness "out there" and I have been watching it more than a decade. After getting involved in the beginning of the process after a while I started to realize that it just has to be this way till the madness of THE HUMAN MIND has run its full course. Everyone has to do what he/she is supposed to do by a HIGHER FORCE till the cycle is fulfilled.

Never give up on THE TRUTH!

Check the possible replacements, at least 5 of them got their own page at the WEF website, just like BoJo, so most likely nothing will change in the global narrative.

The line "1. Use narrative manipulation to divide the population into a roughly 50/50 ideological split."

reminds me of Edward Bernays classic book - Crystallizing Public Opinion, but Bernays stressed that the importance is to get as close to 50/50 split as possible to allow for control of the middle ground. If everything tells the public that an issue is a 50/50 split then the media and government can make up any story they like and only have to provide 1 or 2 percentage of popular support for their plan. US politics works this way, every poll, every election is always divided by the thinnest of margins.

A 50/50 spilt seems to perfect because it keeps both sides at each other odds, without anyone having an edge in numbers. The United States politicians thrive on the 50/50 split.

I liked this and then unliked it just so that I could like it twice.

Another Brilliant Article! Thank you Caitlyn!

I hate to be a cynic (but I am one) - I might suggest to all that the Status Quo in Ukraine will continue - and the current plan is to allow the Russian Military to eliminate the Azov Battalion (self proclaimed Nazi's) thereby remove the need for the Western "leaders" to explain how they could possibly fund and Arm actual Nazi's. (Shameful how they do NOT answer for funding & arming Terrorists in the ME) - The idea sickens me to my core - but after the last 30 years of watching the Imperialist machine work - I wouldn't put anything past these psychopaths.

Boris didn't actually resign. He said "I have today appointed a cabinet to serve, as I will, until a new leader is in place."

That is not resigning and being the sociopath he is, he will drag out being in power for as long as possible.

Thank you, Caitlin for keeping the name of Julian Assange in front of the people. No one else seems to be doing it and certainly not in Australia. I would guess that Biden in his meeting/s with his compliant little henchman, Albanese (since 21 May), has warned him NOT to mention the name to the people of this country, the new government's position on this matter being nothing short of scandalous.

WE DO WHAT WE ARE TOLD by the #1 criminal country in history. What a disgrace.

Our new government.......First they do well by removing a disgraceful matter from persecution and prosecution, An ex-ACT Attorney General named Bernard Collaery has been removed from a four year vindictive legal challenge by a past criminal Australian government who spied on East Timor (the poorest country in the Pacific and a very close neighbour) to gain an advantage during oil lease negotiations. Those people have NOT been prosecuted. Yes, that is what our security services do for a living. Bug other countries on instructions from nasty, self-serving politicians. If the average citizen did it they would be jailed. No doubt about that.

But then they do nothing to save a brave journalist who made the world aware of the criminal USA.

The ruling elites goal is to keep us fighting amongst ourselves lest we turn our attention to them.

Contrary to what many people may think, the "rules-based international order" has little if anything to do with international law. Any overlap is purely coincidental.

Pompeo as deep state presidential candidate wants immediate war with China.

NATO in Ukraine was Russia’s RED LINE – independence of Taiwan is China’s RED LINE.

US War party (i.e., deep state made of DNC and GOP) wants to cross both RED lines – Pompeo wants imminent war with China as the GOP presidential candidate.

Immensely corrupt Ukraine was for many years a bottomless gold mine for US 1% elite. That is why it provoked Russia’s limited military operation whose objective was to MINIMIZE civilian deaths and infrastructure destruction.

Nicely said, Caitlin & hubby. I simply call the western press, Disneyland(corporate[MSM] media)-- because it's the happiest place on Earth, far removed altogether from actual reality. Peace
