we're being trains to worry about Russian propaganda while drowning in U. S. propaganda 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 U. S. empire propaganda CNN has an2/16
article out title Daria do gain as death provides a glimpse into Russia's vast disinformation machine and the influential women fronting it on the recently assassinated daughter of Alexander Dugin a Russian political thinker of wildly exaggerated influence the article uses do gain as assassination to further Stoke its audiences ever growing panic about Russian disinformation quickly becoming a commentary on Russia's entire propaganda network without bothering to articulate3/16
how do gain as death provides a glimpse into its workings without the slightest hint of self reflection or irony the CNN article about Russian propaganda sites as its two main experts a think tanker from the Atlantic council's digital forensics research lab and a think tanker from the center for European policy analysis the Atlantic council is a NATO narrative management firm that is funded by NATO the4/16
U. S. government the UK government various other U. S. aligned states the arms industry and numerous billionaires the center for European policy analysis donor list looks similar to the Atlantic council's and includes US arms manufacturers in the U. S. government through both the U. S. state department and the CIA cut out national endowment for democracy both are used to promote the information interests of the U.5/16
S. centralized power alliance in Europe and North America as we've discussed previously the way news media site corrupt war mongering think tanks to discuss foreign policy without ever mentioning their immense conflicts of interests is plainly journalistic malpractice but this practice is ubiquitous throughout the western news media because western news media are propaganda outlets the article cites R. T. the internet research agency and something called United6/16
world international as examples of Russia's vast disinformation machine despite everyone of those institutions having a degree of influence that is the exact opposite of the vast in the western world and twenty seventeen our tea accounted for all of zero point zero four percent of total TV viewership in the UK a study found that the much touted US election interference campaign by the internet research agency in7/16
twenty sixteen consisted mostly of posts that had nothing to do with the election and comprised quote approximately one out of twenty three thousand pieces of content seen on Facebook I'd be surprised if anyone reading this is never even heard of United world international and C. N. N.'s own article acknowledges that before that outlet was banned from western social media it's accounts only ever had a few8/16
thousand followers compare those paltry numbers to the non stop barrage of empire propaganda that westerners are fed every day of their lives by every news media outlet of significant influence whose coverage of the Ukraine war has eclipsed that of all recent wars the U. S. has been directly involved in and it becomes clear that this message were being fed that we all need to panic about9/16
Russian propaganda is it self propaganda the CNN right up criticizes RT at our editor in chief Margarita Simonian for saying in twenty twelve that when Russia is at war we are of course on the side of Russia as though CNN ever sides against the U. S. during U. S. wars not only does CNN consistently take the side of the U. S. government in every single war10/16
it conducts brazen propaganda operations to help start new ones like the time it stages a scripted interview with a small Syrian child calling for U. S. military interventionism in Syria the only difference between Russian state media and American state media is that Russian state media is honest about what it is this wave of nonsensical artificially created panic about Russian disinformation has been used to dismiss any11/16
and all information which comes out the cast the U. S. empires and its lackeys in a negative light as Russian propaganda or the work of Russian agents we've seen this over and over again from the way Julian a signage has been falsely cast as a Kremlin operative to the way in the media are falsely framed as Russian propaganda operations the latest example of this deception is12/16
the way incriminating leaked emails of prominent British figures published by the gray zone have been dismissed and a new politico hit piece as a dishonest representation of emails obtained by Russian hackers per the Russian playbook graze on staff hastens to point out that not only does the politico article fail to grapple with the rather important question of what the leaked emails actually contain but that it13/16
failed to mention that its primary source is a UK foreign office veteran and siap specialist who has a publicly stated Vang vendetta to get the grades on censored online the manufactured hysteria about a non existent epidemic of Russian propaganda in the west has people so blinkered and confused that it's become impossible to criticize the most powerful government in the world for its world threatening brinksmanship with14/16
a rival nuclear super power on any online forum without getting accused of being a secret agent for the Kremlin my own social media notifications are continuously lit up with accusations of Putin loyalty and rubles in my bank account just for criticizing the most dangerous impulses of the most powerful and destructive government on earth despite never having worked for Russia or any other government what's funny about15/16
all this is that by constantly warning of the dangers of Russian propaganda imperial spinmeisters are admitting that they know it's possible to manipulate public thought at mass scale using media they're just lying about who's doing it to us in reality they're not worried about Russian propaganda Russian propaganda is just a spooky story we are told to keep us from noticing that our civilization is saturated and
