ERIC ZUESSE—So long as a “private” entity censors public debate, the nation’s laws cannot get involved in that — that censorship cannot be outlawed. If public debate can be squelched by private entities, that’s okay, in America’s system of Government. The false assumption of this system is that allowing private entities to squelch “the press” or “the news media,” is okay because different private entities will squelch different truths from being presented to the public; and, so, each citizen will select which types of truths not to know, and which types of lies to believe instead — and that’s ‘democracy’ in America.

An eye-opening discussion of how the Western media has blatantly lied about the Ukraine conflict and how this massive deception will make it harder for the world to evade a nuclear war. Also, an addendum focusing on whether or not Lulla is a “communist”.

ERIC ZUESSE—Consequently: the ‘news’-media in any imperial nation are required to deceive their publics to believe that the imperial-and-vassal, or “colonial,” relationship is voluntary, so that the public there will be deceived to think they live in a democracy — even though that’s actually impossible by the very nature of ANY empire. What this deceit requires is therefore to have a majority of the public being fools. Intelligent persons in the public thus constitute a threat to the existing rulers, and therefore must be suppressed or else eliminated.

JOHN RACHEL—I’m pro-choice, alright. In the much broader sense of having a choice as a citizen about what is done in my name with the tax dollars and immense resources of the United States. I’m talking about America’s decisions to go around the world killing people, destroying nations, imposing its imperial agenda on other allegedly sovereign nations. I’m talking about the heavy hand of our government deciding what version of the “truth” citizens get in the news and from their elected officials. I’m talking about critical choices made about America’s place in the world, our relationships with every other nation, who is our friend, who is designated as our enemy; deciding the kind of country we now live in and will hand off to future generations.

The material below appeared in March, 2022 on an official European Union website. In perfect Orwellian mode, what they claim is Russian lies is actually all true. We have observed this posture long before there was a Russo-Ukraine war, in fact malicious Russophobia and false flag accusations have been hurled at Moscow for decades as part of the Western establishment’s effort to demonise an ascendant Russia. Today, even on the brink of World War III, the colossal hypocrisy of the West’s ruling elites prevents any kind of honest dialog. When will reality finally begin to make a dent in their contemptible behaviour? That we cannot tell at this point, but for the sake of humanity we hope it will be soon. Facts on the ground, after all, carry their own eloquence.
