Media Blackout over Syria By Brad Hoff
On April 6, The London Review of Books published in its online journal Seymour Hersh’s “The Red Line and the Rat Line.” Hersh continues to expose details surrounding the staged August 21 chemical attack incident in Syria, which apparently pretty much everyone in Washington’s intelligence bureaucracy suspected was carried out by the rebels as soon… Continue reading

The Indoctrinated West By Andre Vltchek
Is it really possible that the European public has no clue what was done to Ukraine? Are the men and women of the continent that lives in hallucination, that it is well educated and well informed, really unaware how its own governments have created and supported that ‘opposition movement’ in Kiev; a movement full of… Continue reading

More Guardian ‘brainwashing’ on Putin By Jonathon Cook
I highlight this long and prominent article in the Guardian on Putin’s handling of Crimea and Ukraine because it is a master-class in brainwashing under freedom. The paper’s Moscow correspondent, Shaun Walker, is presumably well-acquainted with Russian society. He has full access to Russian media propaganda, so he knows full well Russia’s side of the… Continue reading

Fauxccupy: The Selling and Buying of the Venezuelan Opposition By Roberto Lovato
Reports and imagery coming out of Venezuela in the past weeks would lead the casual observer to conclude that the country’s youthful opposition are “peaceful protesters” following a long line of global youth activism seen during the Arab Spring, the Occupy movement or in other parts of Latin America.

Yesterday Liz Wahl one of their American news anchors out of Washington DC decided to quit live on air protesting what she claimed was RT’s slanted pro-Russian, pro-Putin news coverage.

BBC Now Admits: Armed Nazis Led “Revolution” in Kiev, Ukraine By Tony Cartalucci
A BBC Newsnight short titled, “Neo-Nazi threat in new Ukraine,” reveals xenophobic Jew-hating nationalists, armed and leading the mobs in Kiev, directly contradicting months of Western media narratives portraying the rabble as aspiring for “freedom,” “democracy,” and “closer ties with the West,” with the most absurd example being the “I am Ukrainian” propaganda reel.

Manufacturing Contempt for Venezuela By Cyril Mychalejko

Has Russia Invaded Ukraine? By Paul Craig Roberts
5 March 2014 — Information Clearing House Propaganda Rules The News Gerald Celente calls the Western media “presstitutes,” an ingenuous term that I often use.
