Coleman Hughes discusses his mistreatment by TED with Glenn Greenwald on System Update. Also discussed, TED's betrayal of its stated principles. It's clear that modern day TED would have done the same with Martin Luther King, given that Coleman's talk was in favor of color-blindness.
The New York Times has published another CIA press release disguised as news, this time aimed at whipping up paranoia toward anyone who criticizes the US proxy war in Ukraine.The article is titled “Putin’s Next Target: U.S. Support for Ukraine, Officials Say”. Its author, Julian E Barnes, has written so many New York Times articles with headlines ending in the words “Officials Say” that we can safely assume the primary reason for his continued employment in that paper is because empire managers within the US government have designated him someone who can be trusted to print what they want printed. This designation would make him a reliable supplier of “scoops” (read: regurgitations of unevidenced government claims) for The New York Times.
“American officials said they are convinced that Mr. Putin intends to try to end U.S. and European support for Ukraine by using his spy agencies to push propaganda supporting pro-Russian political parties and by stoking conspiracy theories with new technologies,” Barnes writes.
Of course the report never gets any more specific than that, and of course the “American officials” Barnes cites promote their unevidenced assertions under cover of complete anonymity.
“The American officials spoke on the condition their names not be reported so they could discuss sensitive intelligence,” Barnes writes. ...
In a tyrannical dictatorship, the press is operated by employees of the government. In a Free Democracy™️, the press is operated by employees of the oligarchs who operate the government. In both cases you’re getting state propaganda, but in one of them the propaganda is disguised as objective news reporting.
The pathetic New York Times didn't need any evidence to render its verdict.
Trevor Bauer tells his story after more than two years of silence:
I would propose these rules: Don't believe the man. Don't believe the woman. Always wait for the evidence ad believe the evidence. How did society ever get away from a focus on due process?
After Bauer's video was released, his accuser, Lindsey Hill, doesn't do herself any favors with her "explanatory" commentary.
This is how these corrupt and manipulative politicians and "news reporters" gaslight you and mislead you, intentionally and repeatedly. THIS is why it is my strong default to disbelieve everything and anything politicians or corporate news outlets tell us. This includes NYT, WaPo, NPR, CNN and MSNBC (as well as Fox). They are playing us on Ukraine just like they did with COVID, transgender ideology, "anti-racism," immigration, Russiagate and almost everything else they pretend to cover. Thanks to Matt Orfalea for another great job of documenting this Ukraine PsyOp.
Matt Orfalea made this video to show news media hysteria, the over-exaggerations of the dangers of COVID, the unhinged commentators and "experts" claiming that they knew things that they didn't know. Now hosted on X (Twitter), it's an 11-minute demonstration of top-down bullshit driven by lies and power-mongering. This is what our country was subjected to. It's an incredible shameful reaction by a country that has our resources. And all of this propaganda was going in one direction: Get the vaccine! It's important for all of us to see this montage and reflect on how we will perform regarding the next pandemic. I am pessimistic.
Matt's video consists only of already-published video clips of of news commentators and "experts," leading to Youtube's decision (in May) to demonetize it because "it is not suitable for all advertisers." Welcome to America, 2023.
