Ward: Putain extraordinaire working for the Empire. The plutocracy knows how to pick them.
LONDON—In the shameless propaganda machine—a veritable Orwellian Ministry of Truth—that passes for “news organizations” in the US and much of the world, disinformers like Clarissa Ward, billed disingenuously as CBS Foreign Correspondent, stand out for their scandalously biased “reporting” and sanctimonious brand of warmongering on Syria and other flash points, the latest being the Ukraine.
For all intents and purposes this woman should be regarded primarily as a Pentagon disinformation operative trumpeting the goodness of the American empire and the “necessity” for it to intervene around the world as a human rights imperative.
The omissions and distortions in this report make it a textbook example of disinformation to the gullible. Riddled with clichés, the supposedly spontaneous dialog of the interviews shows a clear script, calculated to inject all the major “talking points” favorable to the side being supported, openly and stealthily by the US and its acolytes in crime, the corrupt EU regimes and their Frankenstein puppet, NATO. For one thing, Ward—like the rest of the Western press corps, fails to see or find a single fascist among the noble rebels, despite the fact that they are prominent, boastful and ubiquitous (Sbovoda, “Right Sector”, etc.). And while busily painting Russia and those who oppose the current putsch in the worst possible colors, she also conveniently forgets to mention that the very foreign minister of Estonia in a recent leaked conversation with a high official of the EU confirmed that the deaths in Independence Square had been caused chiefly by snipers working for the Maidan, yea, the noble and oh, so peaceful rebels, a typical case of a cynical false flag event engineered by who else, the ubiquitous Western intel operatives. While the American media turn their eyes and ears away from such important and explosive truths, the world continues to carom toward oblivion. Expect no truth from these people, they’re all a bunch of whores, or, as Paul Craig Roberts likes to call them, “presstitutes” in the service of a corrupt clique pursuing dreams of global conquest and unlimited profit.
Toxic information is a threat to world peace
While Ward may be more talented or brash in climbing the suckup ladder to “journalistic fame”, the real tragedy is that this woman, who’s clearly too smart not to realize what she’s doing, is almost the norm. Many others play the same game all over the media establishment. As a gun for hire, her output, encouraged by her handlers first at FoxNews and now at CBS, constitutes an eloquent exhibit for the urgent necessity to dismantle or neutralize the current global machinery of disinformation brandished by the hypocritical West, or else neither humanity nor this poor planet stand much of a chance of survival.

Birds of a feather flock together and surely the sympathies of the US media are ideologically close to those of Sbovoda cum suis. Nothing changes very much in Western capitalism and one is strongly reminded of the kind of nineteen-thirties propaganda in Mittel Europa. One can only hope that the consequences will be less dire…
I just read articles on the Ukraine crisis in two of Germany’s major newspapers, Der Tagesspiegel and Berliner Zeitung. Both list news facts concerning the crisis in the Ukraine and Crimea but nothing even comparable to the blatant mendacious even scandalous propaganda in the excerpt from Clarissa Ward’s service on the 60 Minutes “show”. While listening to her report delivered in a cool matter of fact tone as if it was a given that her words reflected a responsible journalistic account of real events, I felt first scorn, then sadness for the great majority of Americans deprived of trustworthy information… Read more »
I think it is interesting that Ward does address the fact that the oligarchs “supported” the “revolution,” and in that interview with Petro Poroshenko (who she makes clear is a “good capitalist,” and not one who profited by the selling off off Ukraine’s privatization of state industries), she does not also discuss the “agreement” that Yanukovic refused to sign. That document was the “EU- Ukraine Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area.” It would do folks well to read the synopsis of that agreement. It goes a long way toward explaining why the oligarchs (including Poroshenko who is also a member… Read more »
