Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ Friendly reminder that it's impossible to get a clear understanding of what's going on in the world without accounting for the fact that very powerful people within your own society are actively working very hard to manipulate your understanding in their favor.
The terrifying thing is the question of collusion between our government and the "enemy" government for the benefit of the elites to the detriment of citizens on both asides. They do not care about anyone beneath them and feel if you die for their cause that was your choice.
the thing thats bothering me this week is the constant war crimes squealing, this may be happening but frankly i cant trust anyone to provide the truth
however if they go down this road it should be made abundantly clear that Bush committed war crimes and so did Obama, many.
To expound a little: Russia has not even demanded we denounce and prosecute our own well-known war criminals: W. Bush and support team, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Blair, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, etc., ; Clinton, before them, Obama and Biden afterwards. You could call it a lethal club sandwich. But they don't even demand Russians denounce these criminals much less Hemingway, F.Scott Fitzgerald, Flaubert, DeMaupassant, and dozens of American or Western artists. And wouldn't we call it bloody ridiculous if they did? Well, it works the other way round, but we suffer from a kind of fatal astigmatism.
Everybody shudders when we speak of Russian nuclear capabilities but it is the US that has dropped a nuclear bomb on tens of thousands of civilians, not just once but twice!
If I may add one more item: how convenient that everyone is focusing on Ukraine/Russia instead of CHINA. The U.S. has next to zero nat'l interest in Ukraine but nobody is asking cui bono. LOVE your stuff Caitlin, keep it up.
"Pax Americana", one of the more blatant chunks of pure propaganda around. JFK recognized this and spoke to the necessity for a genuine peace, not a fictitious one, so he had to be murdered. Peace and pacification are not the same, and all the evidence screams that PA is actually TAPP -- Threat Americana for the Pacification of the Proletariat --- the cocked economic and military gun that these madmen wave at the rest of the planet in defense of a brutal socioeconomic system, a system so perverse that it also maims and kills its own biosphere resource base. That so many in the US and elsewhere buy into this idea of such a unipolar authoritarian peace in the face of all that evidence for perpetual war is, for me, a most distressing aspect of living this insanely brainwashed society. I've seen so many empty-eyed expressions in the faces of my fellow septuagenarians when confronted by the facts about this country, whose upstanding position in the world they've swallowed since infancy and have never seriously taken time to reexamine.
Unless you're whole-hog, blind loyalty, hand-over-heart, true blue, and hate even the name Putin, along with his co-conspirators, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Dostoevsky and so many other inspired artists, familiar or not; whether you recognize them or not, you must condemn them or, well, you just ain't the right kinda guy. Nothing approaching this kind of absurdity is required by Russians of Westerners.
And concerning Bucha, the only side asking for an independent inquiry before the firing squad gets into gear - are the Russians. In my view, that puts them on the high ground, until proven otherwise.
After reading a few things I like this site, comments. It seems there is real discussion here. I have a few things to add. The US is not in charge or leading the great reset & one world order. It's klaus shwab & WEF (world economic foundation. Soros and the multi billionaires in the world are doing what's happening, to almost every country.
And the UN with their Agenda 21 & 30, & 50. Ll this is easily found in a search. Begin w UN and move on if interested. At least read UN action items in section 3 ( the last section. It's very long, I read it all.
All this, what's is happening, is due to these people. Biden & everyone else are puppets going with the with intention to be one of the top dogs in the end or just gain $.
This process will ruin the world, by itself. I saw schwab say, in a video. that his goal is to get world population to 3 billion with most of the reductions to be in the west, US & Canada. He was serious as a heart attack. I think covid was the serious beginning. Others do as well.
I now believe nothing until I've researched it thoroughly. Our own govt is doing all to us intentionally. It's confirmed, to me, as I've heard things from Biden & Co. the see what actually happens. They've actually done a lot but it's ALL been to our needs. They will lower our quality of living and raise other countries'. They've said this. So many countries hate us many are glad to go along.
None of this is secret, it's all available to anyone that looks for it. They think it's not completed, but close enough to call it a win. (also said in public video)
Did you know there have been three attempts toward this? 1st one in early 1900s, all failed. My insides worry a lot about this one. All the high powered countries/ dictators will want to be the in the #1 spot, greed, power are all consuming. I don't know if this time it will fly but we all will suffer until its successful, it falls apart, or it starts many wars and the world will be trashed.
I don't consider climate change to be an anomaly it's changed, been cyclical over time. It's total BS . I think Vax are also. Possibly to reduce population, the beginning. Everything green & all things making us worried & fearful is another thing to make us want the govt to save us, comfort us that everything will be ok. Not that they are doing that now, just the opposite now. Pres doom & gloom telling us how hard things are going to be hard on US.
We need all different types of countries & types of govts. What we really need, in my opinion, is to dialog with countries to exchange products and how to do that to a win -win result. war , mandates, sanctions are off the table. If a country doesn't want to do that, ok, we move on. We make what we need to in-country. We let our companies run production of items that we need AND they make $. NO one will want to pump & process oil right now. We don't have any data, assurance that as they get started the govt will say stop, however they would use the production law to make them. That's not how to run things. Also it's very bad to run a country on a signature. Only good thing about this record setting executive orders situation, for congress is that they have all kinds of plausible deniability, I didn't do it. The effort to forgive student loans. That's exactly what's going on. He doesn't have authority or someone has alerted him to this. I do NOT want these loans canceled. Where are the parents? I paid for mine. I will be so unhappy about this. I just read Albuquerque is paying for people's current college, free college. This country has already lowered standards, it should be easier to get in now, much less stay in. I predict people will go a year and quit. Going to be a big waste of $ & resources.
I agree with most of this, but I think the CCP is truly terrifying. Between the Uyghur genocide to their actions in Africa to their social credit score, censorship, and quashing dissent, I think that regime is truly terrible. I agree that the US and globalist plutocrats don't have a lot of moral authority, but I don't prefer one version of global Totalitarianism to another. Anything + Totalitarianism = bad for people.
It is hard to feel optimistic about humanity's chances of survival, and not even sure we deserve to survive. We are not great neighbors on this planet. Honestly, the planet is better off without us. We are not very bright: we use our amazing creativity to create weapons of mass destruction, tools of massive distraction, and plunder, pillage, and lay waste to the our home planet so we can all own more useless shit. There is nothing civilized about the modern way of life.
Stupidity reigns supreme, we want to be lied to or rather we want to avoid having our beliefs refuted. Confronting people‘s believe system is to risk violence. I think it is our native state: belief and defending our belief system , tribalism, it is innate. New information is seen as a personal assault prompting a reactionary impulse, animal instinct and violence. Avoiding this and being able to contemplate new information is learned behavior. Do we teach this skill in school?
It's funny how history rhymes or repeats or spirals upwards - every single time there's an attempt by some arrogant would-be hegemon to take over the world, they run up against Russia and find their doom. Napoleon, Nazi Germany, now it looks like it's the US taking their turn. Russia works like a failsafe of the planet against world conqueror megalomaniacs.
Every time before it was decided in the greatest war in known history at the time. Can only hope that some way, somehow, that part needs not repeat.
You and I think we should just all be able to get along. Normal people think that. But there are a lot of people running things who don't think like that. So I think I'd tend to disagree with the idea that China doesn't want to dominate the world. They may already, and we just haven't realized it. Look at how much influence China has in Latin America and Africa. I often think of how we're told how horrible British rule around the world was. I'd guess that would pale in comparison to if we really start seeing China put their claws in. I may be wrong, but a country that would kill people for their body parts ... what do you think?
You make some good points, but this feels pretty weak:
"Do you truly believe it's a coincidence that mainstream Americans were made to despise Putin with a Trump-Russia collusion narrative that turned out to be pure bullshit in the years preceding an unrelated US proxy war against Putin?"
Not sure what you mean by "mainstream," but that apparently doesn't include the millions of Americans who used to see Russia as the pivot in the Axis of Evil who now view Putin as the savior of "traditional values." If anything, Russia and Putin are less demonized now by "mainstream" Fox-viewing folks than ever before in US history. So that leaves the MSNBC crowd and DC left-leaning elites, which are the minority party in most of the country, the Supreme Court, and probably Congress in a few months.
Also, the Trump-Russia collusion thing. "Pure bullshit"? Hardly. Hypocritical as hell, sure (in that the US regularly tries to mess with elections all over the world), but there is abundant evidence that Trump and the US electorate were being played by Putin.

Cognitive dissonance will be the end of us all.
