I don’t read the mainstream media for the simple reason that so-called journalists have stopped asking questions and are failing in their one responsibility - to hold power to account. At the order of their billionaire employers they’ve become glorified scribes for the global security state that works in tandem with powerful corporate and Zionist interests who fund the political elites.
The New York Times, Washington Post, London Times, and major European media outlets spew a constant stream of propaganda and lies in a desperate attempt to shore up the west’s flagging power and influence. The New York Times has even claimed that the First Amendment which guarantees freedom of speech is “out of control” and is a threat to ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy.’ This is Orwellian.
The deep state fears that democracy is undermining democracy so it tries to manage reality by lying about what is actually happening in the world. Its media scribes, big business and universities collude, lie and suppress the truth. They claim Russia is losing against Ukraine when anyone with eyes can see it’s Ukraine that’s on the ropes. They violently suppress student and citizen protests against Israel’s horrific genocide because they are owned by the global Zionists who control the western media and financial system.
We are being told to pretend that we don’t see what’s happening, to not question, to move right along and believe that everything is hunky dory. And if we refuse, we’re censored, silenced and threatened that we’ll lose our jobs or access to our bank accounts. The thin veneer of respectability that the West wore until 2016 is gone. The curtain has been pulled back to reveal the ugly reality of the deep security state. The “rules based order” is nothing more than an excuse to ignore international law and wage forever wars.
We’re witnessing the hallmarks of fascism - government controlled media; censorship of dissenting views; an obsession with national security; the merger of state and corporate power; excessive police powers to crackdown on protests and free speech; identifying enemies such as migrants, terrorists, Muslims, as a unifying cause; cronyism and corruption; military supremacy; and a disregard for human rights.
No wonder there’s widespread distrust of the US and European elites and media. The recent elections in France and Germany show that popular opinion is swinging against the ruling political classes.
Desperate to cling onto it waning power, the western deep state led by the US and UK is trotting out its top messengers. Last Saturday at an FT conference in London, the heads of MI6, Sir Peter Moore, and the CIA, William Burns, appeared together on stage to reinforce the lies. Moore said that the invasion of Kursk was
“typically audacious and bold on the part of the Ukrainians to try and change the game in a way and I think they have to a degree changed the narrative … and it’s important to remember how this started - with Putin mounting a war of aggression in February 2022. And two and half years later that has failed.”
Burns chimed in that the Kursk offensive was a
“significant tactical achievement and has exposed some of the vulnerabilities of Putin’s Russia and his military.”
Repeating a lie over and over again doesn’t make it true. The Kursk offensive was Zelensky’s Hail Mary that has failed spectacularly. The elite Ukrainian forces who were pulled from the front in eastern Ukraine to invade Kursk are trapped and being hunted down by the Russians, and their equipment incinerated. Meanwhile, Russia continues to advance on Pokrovsk in Donetsk, a key city and supply line for Ukraine’s armed forces.
And as for the lie that the war started in 2022, Ukraine’s top military commander, Syrsky, confirmed that it started in 2014, when the UK and the US launched a coup in Kiev to overthrow a democratically elected president who wanted good relations with Russia.
Ukraine is suffering mass desertions and many men are in hiding because ‘recruiters’ are grabbing them off the streets to force them onto the front lines to be slaughtered.
The lamestream media isn’t reporting Ukraine’s true losses. In January, Yuri Lutsenko, former Ukrainian Prosecutor General, said Ukraine was suffering 30,000 casualties a month. As well as a manpower shortage, Ukraine has no air defense left, not enough fixed wing aircraft, artillery, drones, tanks, personnel equipment or Patriot missiles.
In private, Moore and Burns know that Russia is winning, so they are working feverishly to change the narrative before the November 5th US elections.
We’ve been here before. On July 20th 2002, MI6 head Sir Richard Dearlove and CIA chief George Tenet met in Washington to discuss how to fix the intelligence and ‘facts’ to justify a policy of invading Iraq. On July 23rd, 2002, Tony Blair’s war cabinet met and Dearlove briefed them that George W Bush has decided that there will be a war and the UK’s support was sought. The meeting was summarised in the Downing Street memo. The US Senate and UK Parliament were given fraudulent intelligence that Saddam Hussein had WMD and was threatening the west.
The intelligence chiefs do what they’re told and are rewarded for it. Sir Richard Dearlove was appointed Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge in 2004 where he remained until 2015 and is currently Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of London. George Tenet became a managing director at investment bank Allen & Company in 2008.
Like their predecessors, Burns and Moore can’t change the situation on the ground so it’s likely they will create false flag attacks inside Ukraine and blame Russia in an attempt to prolong the conflict. Ukraine has four nuclear power plants….
The rest of the world sees clearly what’s happening. On September 4th at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok the PM of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, said in his keynote speech,
“Many countries, I think the majority of countries, have taken a position including on the recognition of the State of Palestine, but why is it not happening? Because of the intransigence of Israel and, unfortunately, with the total support of the US, in fact giving him [Netanyahu] a standing ovation when atrocities have been committed. That’s why I ask my colleagues in the West where is the humanity, why do you talk about justice, why do you go and preach to us about human rights and democracy, why is there a contradiction when it comes to treatment of issues happening in the world?”
Malaysia has applied to join the BRICS, as has Turkey, a NATO member.
The western world order is haemorrhaging power and influence to the BRICS nations who are attempting to build an alternative multipolar global order based on cooperation, trade and international law. In the end, all fascist empires self-destruct. Let’s hope the west’s inevitable demise comes before it can ignite a global conflagration.
Agree with almost all of this. I don't trust BRICS to be a "force for good" either.
Sorry, but what is BRICS?
