The old adage about the truth being the first casualty of war is as apposite now as it ever was. In fact more so. There has never been a war where lies flew at almost the same rate as bullets from a machine gun. And these lies hit the target. Large swathes of western populations, even after all the exposed lies of their legacy media for decades now, seem to accept them as Holy Writ.
It seems that jingoism and hatred of some enemy or other ‘over there’ are as alive and well across the West as they ever were. Just point to the figure that has been subjected to relentless demonisation for decades and then stand back and watch as ‘Team UK’ or ‘Team USA’ or ‘Team EU’ start to hurl the same old hate one more time. The pointer generated from either or both CIA or MI6 psychological operations teams stops at this year's focus of hate and away we go again.
The jamboree of jingoism relies on three things to be fully effective, a) empty heads, b) maximum gullibility and c) emotional receptivity. Get all these lined up and watch the hating start. Then of course you relentlessly feed that hate with any number of carefully spiced articles, social media posts, documentaries and even full blown motion pictures. It works every time. If Hermann Goering were still here he would tell you so.
“Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
― Hermann Goering, Germany Reborn
Think the Taliban, think Iraq, Libya, Syria… think Russia, think Putin. And all the others on the merry-go-round of hate that the CIA and MI6 fix you to if they can and then let you spin. It’s the regime change merry-go-round, spinning the “facts” to make them fit the agenda, getting the nuance right on every narrative so it’s all quite believable. Then spin it all a little more till you’re sick with hate and loathing, ready to make that enemy burn.
They lie and lie and lie, provided with an endless supply by the Hermann Goerings that infest Zelensky’s circle. The Russians did this, did that, and whatever else we can dream up. We did this to the Russians, we did that, and also that. All lies, but very effective lies when spun the right way and delivered at your daily breakfast table. Day after day after day.
