I am so glad to be following you on substack! I didn’t know of you before, but your pieces and links are always exceptionally good. And I just read (on page 143) in Robert Kennedy’s book that you are (were?) a NYU “popular historian and propaganda expert.” Thank you, sir, for all that you do!! The timeline on Ukraine piece from the Off Guardian is very helpful — I’m printing it out so that I can study it carefully.

With Putin and the actor playing the part of the Ukrainian leader both being WEF members…how is this not scripted? Act One: StrokeMe 19 Act 2: War Act 3: Alien Invasion?

Thank you for providing much-needed balance to this overwhelmingly one-sided propganda and mania-driven affair.

Following the uncredible events of the last two years, the docile citizenry have gone along with the media psyop surrounding Ukraine. We have seen the world transform under the spell of media manipulation. Much worse than 9/11, Iraq, Arab Spring/Libya/Syria combined. This is the stuff of nightmares. Thank you also to offguardian for the illuminating info.

May the truth and some sense of sanity eventually prevail.

Old habits die hard. This is the intentional balkanization of networks to prepare for false flag cyber attacks that will be blamed on Russia. Plus the de-globalization process to shrink the world back to manageable sectors for incremental democide and control.

It would be far more suspicious to /not/ limit your enemy's ability to communicate, garner support and undermine opposition. Controlling intel and signals is as vital as airspace or logistics.

And the militaries of the world, with the exception of the US during Korea and Vietnam, have never ascribed to the silly notion that the press is anything but propaganda. Journalism is storytelling and propaganda, nothing else and has never been anything but and in wartime it is doubly so by simple necessity and the fact that all wars are wars of annihilarion and genocide, though they rarely progress that far in reality.

And why on Earth would anyone, in a war let the other side(s) have access to the public or the home front? Come now, it's no nefarious plot afoot, it's the Great Game as it always was and always must be. It's just us westernerns who's been drunk on the illusion of righteousness after the fall of Germany oand then the collapse of communism.

Realpolitik is real - ideological politik is delusional. There is only so much good land, so many resiurces and so on. Either your civilisation, culture, race, people - pick your term - will dominate it, or they will be dominated. Or made extinct.

All else is folly.

I think this whole Russia/Ukraine show is much darker and sinister than we can imagine. It reminds of a horror film in which the monster (DC, MSM etc.) is backed into a corner, and begins to lash out with its most evil powers in an attempt to turn the tables. I'm not a bible thumper, but this seems like a spiritual war.

If they have nothing to hide then why
