on bush's freudian confession oh my god it happened i can't believe it really happened during a speech in dallas at southern methodist university's george w bush presidential center on wednesday the man himself george w bush did the best thing ever i am pretty sure it is the single best thing that has ever happened i do not believe i am exaggerating when i say that while criticizing2/11
russia for having rigged elections and shutting out political opposition which would already be hilarious coming from any american in general and bush in particular the 43rd president made the following comment the result is an absence of checks and balances in russia and the decision of one man to launch a holy unjustified and brutal invasion of iraq i mean of ukraine and then it only got better3/11
after correcting himself with a nervous chuckle bush broke the tension in the empire loyal crowd with the words iraq tube anyway he then quipped that he is 75 years old leaning harder on his awe shucks g wilkers i'm such a goofball persona than he ever has in his entire life and bush's audience laughed they thought it was great a president who launched an illegal invasion that4/11
killed upwards of a million people probably way upwards openly confessing to doing what every news outlet in the western world has spent the last three months shrieking its lungs out about putin doing was hilarious to them there are not enough shoes in the universe to respond to this correctly as comedian john fugelson put it george w bush didn't do a freudian slip he did a freudian5/11
confession one of the many many interesting things about this occurrence is the likelihood that bush's words tumbled out in the way they did because he's either heard a lot of criticisms of his invasion or has been thinking a lot about them a familiar neural pathway would explain why his brain chose the exact worst word he could possibly swap out for ukraine in that moment this would6/11
be a small light in the darkness for we ordinary folk who oppose war and love peace because it suggests that even the worst empire managers cannot fully insulate themselves from our criticisms the doesn't get any more brightly illuminated than this folks while the western political media class constantly runs its garments over disinformation about the ukraine war even as u.s officials openly admit that they're using the7/11
media to circulate disinformation about that same war and even as the biden administration imprisons and persecutes a journalist for exposing u.s war crimes we get a square admission that the u.s is no better than russia and that the only thing obscuring this is the fact that we are all swimming in a sea of disinformation and propaganda provided by that same political media class and this admission8/11
comes not from any low-level empire lackey but from the man himself the guy the man whose name alone serves as a one-word debunk for every claim made about how uniquely nefarious vladimir putin is on the world stage and how uniquely depraved is his invasion of ukraine if you really look at what just happened really truly ingest it this one incident just by itself is enough to9/11
show you that we are swimming in a sea of lies designed to give us an upside down and asked backwards perspective of what's going on in the world if bush himself can't always tell the difference between the invasion of iraq and the invasion of ukraine then this means our news media and our politicians are lying to us constantly they lied to us through 2002 and 200310/11
and they never stopped lying and they are lying now in the year 2022 the entire mainstream worldview is a perceptual distortion filter which obscures the public understanding of world events so severely that bush has been not just forgiven for his crimes but actively rehabilitated in the public eye while the enemies of the united states are continuously compared to adolf hitler and condemned throughout the us-dominated world11/11
in reality the us is the single most tyrannical and destructive government on this planet and it is only because the public is fed a non-stop deluge of propaganda that this isn't universally obvious even the worst empire managers know deep down that this is true and in their less guarded moments sometimes the truth slips out you
