One of the great advantages of mass media is its ability to not only dominate the full spectrum of communications across every platform, but to repeat something over and over and over until it appears to be ubiquitous. Ironically this is also its greatest weakness.
When you see a compilation tape like this one it erases any thought someone might have that these people are original, that they are thinking for themselves, or that they are not under the complete control of a single voice driving the narrative. This is a group of human parrots and they are being paid handsomely to convince you that reality is whatever they say it is rather than what it actually is. They are not reporters or journalists, they are propagandists driving an agenda.
Any military historian can tell you that there is no strategic platform that is undefeatable. Every battlefield system has within it the keys to its own defeat. Castle walls can serve as both a defense against an assault, or as prison walls for its defenders. Aircraft carriers can rapidly deliver weapons systems to the coast of an enemy nation or it can serve as a watery tomb for thousands, in an instant. The media can convince people through repetition, but once it commits to that course of action it must also accept that anyone who collects these admonitions and puts them together in a comprehensive and cohesive digest will clearly demonstrate the collusion and lockstep of their process, something that does not happen organically.
But it definitely had nothing to do with NATO expansion.
“Never About NATO, Nothing To Do With NATO”
“This is not about NATO expansion!”… the Western public has been told over and over again of the war in Ukraine, now in its 20th month. “Never about NATO… Nothing to do with NATO” – has been the constant refrain from US officials and media “authorities”. Below is a video compilation by Matt Orfalea showing Western media personalities and analysts claiming that the war in Ukraine had nothing to do with NATO expansion… but then oops… only this last month NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg clearly and repeatedly acknowledged that Putin made the decision to invade Ukraine because of fears of NATO expansionism in a speech before the EU Parliament’s foreign affairs committee.
For a trip down memory lane, and more importantly so this epic compilation of clips highlighting the MSM drumbeat of lies doesn’t get memory-holed, watch the below compilation by Matt Orfalea…
Stoltenberg’s September 7th speech laid out in reference to Vladimir Putin, “He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership.”
Stoltenberg then emphasized in what constitutes a rare moment of agreement with Professor John Mearsheimer (unintentional perhaps)
“We [NATO] rejected that. So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.”
Below is the original Stoltenberg footage from early September in full…

How do you wake up a nation?
Turn off the power. No more smartphones, Xbox’s, PlayStations, TV’s, Sports, etc.
Then, you will have their rapt attention.

Put Russian missiles in Cuba.
In the case of the United States … it’s been apparent for decades that you cannot and will not awaken US … there’s too much at stake for TPTB to ever want US to awaken …
It’s so depressing to think this obvious horseshit is aired because it works on many people.
“Indeed I tremble for my country when reflecting that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever”

It’s all about money and the power that goes with it. Russia will always be sovereign, their history is the proof. Westerners in the past were more reasonable in their beliefs. Since the west has been engulfed by the Soros NWO it preaches war as a preferred existence, bring on the genocide!
They are doing the same thing with the vaccine mandate. Why, we never mandated anything!
This is why they want to control who accesses the internet. Because it’s forever and, for now anyway, you can go back and find things they said to point out their lies.
Don’t forget about this one a few years back.
And, as always, the shit they do, they point the finger of blame towards those they despise. So, Trump launched that, eh? Got it. Dead Spin.
Constantinople survived for a thousand years after the fall of Rome, specifically because of its full spectrum dominance in the form of an impregnable citadel at the crossroads of trade.
And then gunpowder go boom.
Bye-bye Byzantium.
There was an interesting thing on the History Channel a year or two ago IIRC “Rise of Empires: Ottoman.” It was primarily about the conquest of Constantinople. It took them a long time and a heck of a lot of gunpowder. The early siege cannon often blew up from bad metallurgy and were dangerous to the users as well.
Hey Farmer. I think the world of ya man, but your monkey’s getting ugly.
The US already has “defensive” missile sites in various eastern European countries. Russia no longer believes anything US or Europe promises. They have grown weary of the continual encroachment of NATO and the US on its borders and have said enough, no more.
What I get out of the graph is that there have been thirteen warming episodes in the last million years. But 90% of the last million years have been covered with ice! Small brief blips of time where it is warm enough for life to thrive followed by long freezes.
Truly, we are less than Lilliputian’s, scrambling around at the feet of giant processes that are beyond our ken both from size and complexity as well as the scope of time. Our ego blinds us to our reality. While waiting for the next ice age (go back and look at the time frame and see how close we are) we can all be made poorer and colder by the ants who are sure they can change the planet.
Wrong comment section but, yes, exactly.
No, it’s mot the wrong section.
Neither is this:

The DEWs and arsonists are gaslighting about climate lies.
Another version of this coordinated disinformation messaging is SELECTIVE messaging.
You know, where an author scrupulously collects the information which supports the conclusion he has made, but excludes and is extremely critical of all information that disproves their claims……
Sounds like regular journalism to me.

It is astonishing…both sides do it.
The excellent researcher, Cynthia Chung, wrote an excellent article on the gaslighting phenomenon last year …
