We're Being Trained To Worry About 'Russian Propaganda' While Drowning In US Propaganda by Caitlin Johnstone published on 2022-08-31T03:44:39Z One of the weirdest, most insane things happening today is the way the entire western world is being trained to freak out about "Russian propaganda" — which barely exists in the west — while ignoring the fact that we are spending every day marinating in billions of dollars worth of US empire propaganda. Reading by Tim Foley. Genre News & Politics Comment by Devamitta Regarding the present disinformation campaign surrounding the US's proxy war in Ukraine, the US media/state department media machine has really upped its game since the old "mushroom cloud, WMDs, and babies thrown from incubators days. Though I watched in awe the media campaign in the run up to the Iraq War 2. I am thoroughly gobsmacked by how more comprehensive and effective Western propaganda has become. Of course it has had twenty years or more to perfect its game, and via Russiagate hysteria and the Trump presidency it has managed to get liberals (I don't call them the Left) to support war, support censorship, and to support the FBI and CIA, all of which were at one time were railed against by a good portion of the liberal crowd. Those days are gone. As the Republican Party has devolved to Crazyland, the Democratic Party has taken its place as proponents--or just approvingly silent-- for empire, coups, attack on free speech, the slow killing of Assange, and all state hogwash. 2022-08-31T15:14:04Z Comment by Fern Henley @fern-henley: Those who dance around the golden calf are blind to the golden rule. Our species is based on the choice of the golden rule. Eve sacrificed and others tried to emulate her survival of personal bloodletting to generate a new person. Putting on gowns, sacrificing pigeons' blood, even getting hung on a cross, tricky that one! Naturally we must call the enemy “evil”. I do so love that little Freudian slip. You know I was over 80 years before I grasped the rich belly laugh of that. 2022-08-31T04:57:26Z
