Drinking the propaganda is comedy.Now that's comedy.

I agree to a point. However, it's easy to spam so much bullshit that folks just tune things out. No one has time to wade through so much garbage. Would be nice if everyone took it upon themselves to use a modicum of thought before throwing shit at the wall. I don't really care much for walls of shit. It's rather unpleasant.
Not casting aspersions on anyone, but your assessments are correct.It's ok. It's pretty clear that Bug is a few years behind where many of us on GIM were at. Gonna need to slow down and go through a few details again. Our assumptions have probably changed so much over the years that we hardly notice but an abrupt change like this can show us how much we have really learned and changed.

Radicalized by propaganda - dehumanize the enemy - justify violence
I often wondered how ISIS succeeded in radicalizing recruits. I wonder if Russian propaganda campaigns are achieving a broadly similar result. That's how it often looks from my end of the looking glass.
Which 'war' are you indicating?1.) We are at war. That means truth and facts will be difficult if not impossible to find.
2.) Data like facts is hard to come by. Raw unmanipulated data is even harder.
Which 'war' are you indicating?
The information war?
The Ukraine war?
The Culture war?
As for data... the Ukraine SMO has to be THE most covered 'war' in history. Millions of people are INvolved watching and reporting from all over the world.
Just as it has dismantled many cherished delusions, the internet has demolished the MSM as the sole purveyor of information. Lies and misinformation are addressed within minutes by indy reporters who see things from a different perspective than the 'official' propaganda narrative.

The neocon's confession sheds critical light on the U.S. role in Ukraine, and raises vital questions about these labs that deserve answers.mronline.org
Victoria Nuland: Ukraine has “biological research facilities,” worried Russia may seize them
By Glenn Greenwald (Posted Mar 17, 2022)
Self-anointed “fact-checkers” in the U.S. corporate press have spent two weeksmocking as disinformation and a false conspiracy theory the claim that Ukraine has biological weapons labs, either alone or with U.S. support. They never presented any evidence for their ruling–how could they possibly know? and how could they prove the negative?–but nonetheless they invoked their characteristically authoritative, above-it-all tone of self-assurance and self-arrogated right to decree the truth, definitively labelling such claims false.
...........the neocon official long in charge of U.S. policy in Ukraine testified on Monday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
sure. US would have no problem with russian bioweapon labs in canada/mexico. never mind the historical freak out by US when russia was intent on putting weapons in cubaI don't know why anyone is all upset that they have labs there. Lot's of countries like that have labs, even here in the U.S. If the people bitching that the U.S. is running these labs in Ukraine are so upset about it, ask them if they'd prefer if the U.S. set them up across the street from them?
Think. Why do they put them overseas?I don't know why anyone is all upset that they have labs there.

And US Democrats.accuse your enemy of doing what you are doing , right out of the fascist playbook
...The dust bin of time.Not casting aspersions on anyone, but your assessments are correct.
Been there, done that, got the 'T' shirt. We covered a LOT of ground over there, which is why it's shame it's fading into the dust bin.
one man's shit.... eh?Now that's comedy.

it's the gov's job to protect it's citizens. US bioweapon labs right next to russia is stupid -- russia gov has to do something about that - or they are shirking their duty
never forget - russia asked for a meeting to work all of this out BEFORE invading. US snubbed them
She was choosing her words VERY carefully I might add....victoria nuland testifying that there are bio labs in ukraine. and she says that it's a big deal because russia might get their hands on what's in those labs.
this is the ultimate destruction of the army of 'fact checkers' that continue to spread the lie that there arent/werent bio labs there
Because plan and simple... what they're doing in those labs is considered against the law in the US.I don't know why anyone is all upset that they have labs there. Lot's of countries like that have labs, even here in the U.S. If the people bitching that the U.S. is running these labs in Ukraine are so upset about it, ask them if they'd prefer if the U.S. set them up across the street from them?
How 'bout they just don't set them up at all?I don't know why anyone is all upset that they have labs there.

Exactly. it's illegal for 'em to do here, what they do in some of these labs. For example, the one in Wuhan.Think. Why do they put them overseas?
Hint: Laws.
It came from that lab in Wuhan. All the first cases were close to the lab, and they were known to be working on bat virus' there.Lemme guess you think the covids really did come from bat soup?

Trust me when I say it's not as great as it sounds. lolIt'd also be great if supermodels got in line to fuck me everyday.
If they want to they should have at it. To be honest, it would prolly be the best thing the US could hope for at this point.China shouldn't be invaded by Russia,
I never wanted Uke to be invaded.but Ukranie should cause they haven't released anything yet? Now I understand.
And got all his ideas for the book from Euro-Fabian Socialist professors here in the States, and Lucifer.
To liberate requires invading.it is good reading the two camps on Ukraine
1. the Ukraine was invaded camp
2. the Ukraine was liberated camp
did I miss any?
Governments lie; this comes as a surprise to nobody. But governments can’t lie, nor can they tell the truth. Governments don’t speak at all. People speak. And depending on their role in government, and their purpose, and their audience, the terrain of the lies they tell is vast. It ranges from a manager in a state agency writing malicious lies about a former employee in a job reference, to a diplomat dissembling to another government, to the years of lies about “progress” in the Vietnam War coming from the upper reaches of the defense establishment and documented in the Pentagon Papers.
A falsehood isn’t necessarily a lie; that depends on whether the speaker knows it is false. Maybe presidents don’t know that the statistics they’re spouting were cooked and their anecdotes concocted. In her famous essay on lying in politics, Hannah Arendt pointed out that presidents are wholly reliant on their advisers for factual information, which makes the president “an ideal victim of complete manipulation.”
Presidential policy lies are a different matter. Here’s an example of a policy lie. In September 2006, President George W. Bush strode into the East Room and publicly confirmed that the CIA had held terrorism suspects in black sites and interrogated them with what he delicately called an “alternative set of procedures”—which we now know meant torturing them. (“I cannot describe the methods used—I think you understand why.”)
Bush’s speech was a sales pitch for the program, and his chief selling point was the supposedly lifesaving information the CIA obtained. He offered specific examples to make the sales pitch stronger. The trouble is, they weren’t true. His information came from the CIA—but the president stood by it. He said it and he owned it.
Depends on who's bread is being buttered.it is good reading the two camps on Ukraine

2. the Ukraine was liberated camp

i wonder about this too. especially if russia is playing along. one big ruse with multiple benefits to (globalist communists)?3. The entire affair was designed by the cabal to reduce the energy supply, reduce the food supply, and bankrupt society in order to justify bringing out their next big project?
i wonder about this too. one big ruse to benefit (globalist communists). and why are there ads on my tv begging for shekels for ukraine jews?3.

I use a similar saying "Don't sweat the small stuff. Unless you are dying it is all small stuff".Great piece of advice I received sometime way back was "Don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff." In the grandest of all scheme of things, I think that is at least worth considering, and maybe even more....
