George W. Bush was the master of simplicity. You are either with us or you are against us.
Everything was reduced to the level that even the less than average person could understand, i.e. reduced to black and white, good and evil, right and wrong. Universal opposites.
This method for controlling the narrative fed to the masses was well known to both Himmler and Goering at the outset of the second world war. The rhetoric is designed to dupe and then manipulate so that the agreed plans of the western political elites involved can be put in motion without anything approaching democracy or choice by western populations can be involved. Their so-called superiors “know what’s best for them” and so deliver them into a state of war-approval mania.
Being humble, never having given much thought to geopolitical issues, the majority in the West are simply thankful that someone can explain things in black and white terms and let them know in what direction their nation is going (to war) and to what degree they ought to emote.
Knowing very little those now sketchily “informed” can provide the required approval regarding the black and evil foe they have been told about… that unredeemable and unrepentant monster ‘over there’ that is doing “really bad things”.
The collective west resembles a Machiavellian conductor of an orchestra, this is the primary mainstream media channels that deliver the “correct” message right on cue. They continue to deliver the “correct”, pure black and white message at the direction of their state elites as long as it takes to achieve the goal that suits the “national interest”.
The present situation in Ukraine, unlike the many regime change wars the USA, UK and their allies have waged in recent times is framed as in almost diametrically opposite terms. The West was framed as totally right to attack and invade Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and wage proxy wars in both Syria and Yemen… and this was in general the narrative complied with by western mass media.
Regarding Ukraine, the West is framed as totally correct to support the authorities in Ukraine who arrived in power via a violent insurrection and have helped them in their goal of pushing Russia into a corner. This was achieved by multiple means that denied Russia any path to a negotiated peace.
Despite all the barriers put in their way Russia continued for eight long years to enable a peaceful settlement of the Donbass question. The western powers had no interest in this and instead built the Ukrainian forces to NATO standards with the intent of taking the Donbass region by force and effectively killing off the pro-Russian culture of the Russian-speaking majority there.
Nothing was hard of the above fact within western mainstream news. Instead all that was heard was the same black and white, good and evil narrative that had been agreed at the very start of the plan, a plan to weaken and then dismember the Russian state.
However, this facade of theatrical simplicity is starting to dissolve in front of all the blinded eyes that were fed so many lies by western mass media. Russia, having broken out from its trap and taken on the combined might of NATO within Ukraine… is winning and will soon be seen to be winning by all. It will no longer be possible to sustain the western facade of ‘Ukraine is winning’ and ‘Bad Guy Russia’ is losing. That movie is over. A new one is just about to begin.
