Fun fact: if they can keep Biden believably alive one day past the half-way mark of a term, then we can get the fucking cop as president for two-and-a-half terms (10 years).

Western Media’s Peculiar Incuriosity About Nord Stream by Jonathan Cook, Consortium News.

Wow. Damned good article. Scathing. Excellent bit at the end:

The Western media are not there to help the public monitor the centers of power, keep our governments honest and transparent, or bring to book those who commit state crimes. They are there to keep us ignorant and willing accomplices when such crimes are seen as advancing on the global stage the interests of Western elites – including the very transnational corporations that run our media.

Which is precisely why the Nord Stream blasts took place. The Biden administration knew not only that its allies would be too fearful to expose its unprecedented act of industrial and environmental terrorism but that the media would dutifully line up behind their national governments in turning a blind eye.

How are all diplomats not spies? IMO the hilarious bit is just singling these particular ones out and doing it nominally only on the basis that "they are spies".

Finish the job of continuing Trump's worst policies and escalating us toward WW3. Sounds like an excellent plan. What could go wrong?

Well, if it were run democratically, the state propaganda really couldn't have as tight a grip on media though, probably. I mean, can you really even call it "democratic" anyway if people are deprived of the information they actually need in order to make decisions, even if they otherwise have the power to technically make them?

So is Putin a deranged, megalomaniacal Nazi who will literally do anything to conquer the world and avoid losing anything, ever, or will he totally just renege on his explicit threat to use nukes? I am confused, :reddit-logo:.

I thought at least alleged leftists on Reddit were getting past this whole Russiagate/no-U.S.-culpability bullshit at this point, but both this and other Ukraine-related posts I've seen lately lead me to believe the war propaganda has as tight a grip as ever.

Hmm. So 9/11 "inside job" theories appear to have just shifted from mostly baseless conjecture to actually having some serious merit.

Grayzone - Bombshell filing: 9/11 hijackers were CIA recruits

TL;DR - At least two of the 9/11 hijackers seem to have been CIA recruits, which the agency seems to have run cover for prior to the attacks and during investigations afterward. One of the people associated with the CIA unit handling these guys was even in charge of interrogating people allegedly responsible for the attacks in Gitmo's torture program. Hell of a way to shape what the broader "intelligence apparatus" and thus the public believed about the operation.

The Jimmy Dore Show: U.S. Sends Troops To Taiwan!

The U.S. has sent another 200 soldiers — described as “trainers” — to Taiwan in the latest provocative move aimed at sending a message to China. China’s growing economy and increasingly powerful role on the international stage represents a threat to the unipolar world ruled over by the United States, and a possible war with China over Taiwan may be the only option available to U.S. leaders to downgrade this emerging power.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to The Duran hosts Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou about the insane push to the brink of war between the U.S. and China.

(Yes, it seems Dore went off his fucking rocker regarding vaccines, but he seems to still be doing some reasonable criticism of Democrats and the war machine.)

Gotcha. Whew!

Thanks.

I think you're confusing it with the upcoming feature hit How We Actually Did Blow Up a Pipeline, co-produced by Hillary Clinton and Victoria Nuland.

Bro thicc AF, good for him, he got a couple Nord Streams of his own back there

This was a masterful subversive reference is so many ways.

UK MSM Admits Ukr Za NPP Debacle

I either missed something or am just being a fart-brained dumbass and not being able to come up with what "Ukr Za NPP debacle" means. Can someone help fill me in? Preferably with a brief summary or link in case it is the former?

This state has already gotten away with pointing guns at my son during their raid. I will not let them hurt him again.

I hope she finds the comrades and the power to somehow make good on those words.

While, yeah, the Democrats I'm sure send "hopes and prayers" votes her way.

This fuckin' world, man. We'd better succeed at putting this behind at some point, so that when we don't have to worry about the liberals' pigs bashing out brains in or shooting them out, we can look back on what a fucking joke they are and laugh, wondering how the FUCK they ever managed to actually hold any power.

Well damn. I wish ta visit da Science World™, where da science stuff is true. Please. Pretty please!

I suspect it was more like the landlord going, "How do you do, fellow tenant?" TBH. He holds zero sense of class solidarity with @CoolerOpposide, and would happily turn around in the next heartbeat and evict. Rather, he's hoping to fool his tenant into feeling a false sense of class solidarity with HIM. Remember those mainstream media articles that were like, "Ah, the mere hundred-millionaires are of us now, because they're jealous of the billionaires and hundred-billioniares flying over them in helicopters on the way to their super-mansions in the Hamptons?" Like, that, but on the petty level of, "When they come for my little real-estate empire here, my dear tenant, you'll go to bat for me continuing to exploit you, right?"

Holy shit. I actually got that reference. I am now win at T.V. tropes!

There is also the possibility that the west doesn’t intends these loans to be paid back and will forgive them....

LOL And miss an opportunity to keep a strategically useful country well and truly crushed under the boot heel? I don't think so. It might keep the terms from being too harsh while Ukraine is obedient, but I doubt that debt will ever be forgiven. It's a heck of a hammer that can be poised overhead just in case anyone gets any big ideas....
