the phoniest most pr intensive war of all time the president and first lady of ukraine have posed for a romantic photo shoot with vogue magazine wherein president voldemire zielinski waxes poetical about his love for his darling wife now i know what you're thinking how is zolensky making time for a vogue photo shoot amidst his busy schedule of pr appearances for other major western institutions i mean2/9
this is after all the same voldimir zelinski who has been so busy making video appearances for the grammy awards the khan film festival the world economic forum and probably the bilderberg group as well and having meetings with celebrities like ben stiller sean penn and bono in the edge from u2 it's as busy a pr tour as he could possibly have without having a discussion about the3/9
strategic importance of long-range artillery with elmo on sesame street oh yeah and also isn't there like a war or something happening in ukraine you'd think he'd probably be somewhat busy with that too call me crazy but i'm beginning to suspect that there might be a concerted effort to manipulate the way we think about the war in ukraine in fact i'd even go so far as to4/9

wanting to tell people the truth about something and wanting to manipulate their perception of something there are times when true facts can be used to influence people's perception one way or the other but if your agenda is to manipulate perception rather than tell the truth you will necessarily be forced to rely on lies half-truths distortion and lies by a mission wherever the truth doesn't serve that8/9
agenda if they were telling us the truth about this war they wouldn't be censoring russian media they wouldn't be censoring online voices who disagree with the official narratives about ukraine they wouldn't be continually blasting us in the face with mass media perception management and they sure as hell wouldn't be putting ukraine's celebrity in chief on the cover of vogue magazine we are being manipulated and we
