It started with a vendetta against Vladimir Putin and that campaign, even after a decade and a half, is still ongoing.
The tried and tested methodology learned from the Nazis to repeat your lie over and over and over has been pretty effective.
Huge numbers in the USA and UK believe President Putin is the new Hitler, a murderer, a serial killer in fact, a modern day monster and supercrook, a man who is evil through and through and who would do anything to stay in power including invade the rest of the world after destroying their democracies.
Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi’s propaganda chief would nod sagely and slowly clap his hands in admiration. Here’s a little advice from the lie-master of WWII:
“Never admit to a fault or wrong; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time; blame that enemy for everything that goes wrong; take advantage of every opportunity to raise a political whirlwind.”
Does this sound familiar at all regarding the boogie man come scarecrow that is Russia or Vladimir Putin. What about that line about ‘one enemy at a time’? You got it, the main campaign, that against China, the USA’s primary rival, comes later.
But let’s stick with Putin for the time being.
Here’s Goebbels again:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Another bit of advice from the master deceiver:
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”
All the elements used against Vladimir Putin are present in Goebbel’s advice above.
Just keep repeating the lies and use the press and media as your keyboard. And denigrate/cancel anyone attempting to portray Putin in any other light as an ‘agent’, ‘puppet’ or useful idiot.
And the clincher from JH?
“The bigger the lie, the more it will be believed.”
So, when you have a compliant media and so-called journalists ready and willing to write hit pieces plus magazines happy to depict Putin with fire in his eyes and the equivalent of vampire teeth the impact on an audience of largely gullible Joes and Josephines, especially when repeated endlessly, is not hard to guess.
But the propaganda pogrom against Putin was not enough. The Svengali needed an extensive orchestra to manipulate. This would be the Russian state. In this scenario, Russians, in general, were to be made scary monsters, ready to kill you in your bed and eat your children for supper.
So we had the entire ‘Russiagate’ furor, a four-year Russia hate-a-thon where Putin and his cronies were responsible for just about every awful thing that ever happened to anyone anywhere. And especially for Hillary Clinton losing the 2016 presidential election to a fat clown non-politician who liked to run off at the mouth and deliver lies faster than she could. Though no solid evidence could be found to link the winning sociopath candidate and ‘the Russians’ enough of the lie stuck to make it useful. Oh, and those nefarious Russians had made $90k of Facebook ads SO VERY EFFECTIVE they outdid the $100m or so the Democrats spent. You might think they’d hire those admen geniuses wouldn’t you? And discover how it could be that almost none of the ads mentioned the presidential election AT ALL. Pure genius that.
And so it goes. Along came the hapless Skripals. Mr Skripal had been set free by Russia in an exchange. You might think if he was such a danger to Russia they’d have killed him while they had him, wouldn’t you? Or if not perhaps bump him off with something less ‘Russian’ than Novichok, perhaps a knife between the ribs or a bullet from a silencer to the head, but no, it had to be associated with Russia. If you think those in the new KGB are as dumb as that, okay… but I don’t. And certainly not Putin.
Then we had Navalny apparently go down (but not out) using the very same Novichok (apparently). But hey, if Russia had already been identified as the wannabe killer of Skripal would you use the selfsame compound to do in Navalny? And would you do it in full public view leaving traces? And as it had failed to kill Skripal would you use this failed method to kill Navalny? And fail once again. Don’t you think that would be sheer carelessness on top of dumbo ignorance? How long have the KGB chaps and chapesses been at this game? Come on... really?
In between times and in no particular sequence we had the downing of the Malaysian airliner MH17 with 298 passengers fatalities. No one has given an explanation as far as I know of why Vladimir Putin or the Russian state would wish to do such a thing, yet we are to believe that several vehicles comprising a surface to air missile unit set off from somewhere in Russia and travelled for days to be in the right spot to do this. It makes no sense, no sense whatsoever. Except as the very next stick to beat Russia with.
So now we have the current ‘Russia bad’ campaign, Russian troops “massing” on Ukraine’s border… except they are not very near that border at all. Apparently they are near the town of Yelnya, which is around 250 kilometers from the Russia-Ukraine frontier. What’s more even at the time they were first reported there by the West official Ukrainian sources said this was nothing unusual, no big deal in fact. But did this stop the eruption of western and European hysteria about this threat that Ukraine said was nothing to get fussed over? It did not. For months the situation was played up across the entire spectrum of western political and mass media circles. Until just in the last few days Ukraine once again repeated its original view, that this was pretty much a non-event, nothing they hadn’t seen before, and why all the fuss?
When you consider how little any of this affected the rest of the world outside of the USA, the UK, and some of Europe, how trade and good relations with Russia continued, and official visits with smiles and deals made with Russia and even with Putin personally present… you begin to smell a big lying rat, several in fact.
Western elites are presiding over a dying empire that has let them dominate and exploit the rest of the world to their advantage for lifetimes. They cannot stand the thought of losing this extremely potent and even more extremely lucrative advantage. All abilities to arm-twist others to their advantage are beginning to fade with the rise of Eurasia and specifically China. Being able to manipulate events, threaten so-called wrongdoers and administer punishments to them with impunity, attack and invade, indulge in mass killings and destruction also with impunity. It all disappears along with their self-awarded high status as world guardians with all the prestige and power that entails.
So what are a few lies when all is fair in love, war, and economics? When your back is against the wall what are you to do? As a terminally wounded beast you lash out at every supposed “enemy” around you, don’t you?
And you also use every dirty trick in your well-thumbed playbook, right? And what is the CIA expert in after all? What empire in such dire straits will not use the psychological operations (PsyOps) teams together with those in BlackOps as necessary weapons in the war to save the empire? It’s all grist to the mill as they say. What matter a few more lies when you’ve already used a whole bunch to get a war started against Iraq and others with hundreds of thousands dead when you’ve tortured, renditioned, and held people without trial for decades? When you are in an existential struggle to save everything that keeps your mojo going each day by being a world controller what do a few useful lies matter?
