The method used by the propagandists is very simple: a lot of videos of unclear source, plus repeating all the obvious lies of the Ukrainian Government, plus belittling every loss. Russia’s downfall is always a
bout to happen. Their losses assume fantastic proportions for people who, actually, shell the Ukrainians 10 to 1 most of the time (this is, by the way, admitted by many Ukrainian sources themselves). Severodonetsk was to be Putin’s Stalingrad. When it was lost, it became irrelevant in the great scheme of things because hey, we have Lisichansk. When Lisichansk, too, was lost, well that was a victory of sort because we inflicted to the Russians (de-humanised as orcs; it helps a lot by massacres) sooooo many purely imaginary losses we are now well, well in front of them. Then we keep retreating, and they keep advancing. But hey, they must be so, so demoralised!
Yup, plenty of propaganda to keep the war going and the money rolling in!
The reality is that getting involved in Ukraine was never about America's interests. And it certainly wasn't in the interests of the Ukrainian people. As some wag said, "We will fight in Ukraine til the last dead Ukrainian." If we had stayed out of it, the war would have ended almost as soon as it began. And if we had not broken every promise to expand NATO "not one inch eastward" Russia would not have seen the possibility of adversaries on her border inciting war. But our government leaders have always been good at breaking promises and treaties. (Just look at our history with the Indians.)
Who knows where all that money is now?
As the Bible says, "Love of money is the root of all evils." and war is a great money-laundering operation that enriches the few at the expense of the many. We've sent billions to Zelensky and company along with an endless stream of weapons with absolutely no accountability. NO ACCOUNTABILITY! How was all that money spent? Where are the weapons today? How much of our money now resides in offshore accounts of the elites? How many of our weapons have been sold on the black market to our enemies?
Like the roulette wheel's little white ball: "Round and round it goes and where it stops nobody knows." But, of course, we know where "it" goes -- into the pockets of a few who grow richer and richer by financially raping American taxpayers who can hardly afford to fill their gas tanks and are constantly told "we" need to tighten our belts. They of course grow fatter and fatter on the spoils.
It's long past time to stop believing the lies.
It was strangely terrifying to me, seeing our combined United States Congress rise in unified acclimation and thunderous applause at the video appearance of Pervert Zelensky. No one in authority will even broach dissent, such as yours, even many Catholics truth be told) in this existential choice of combat against one of our two primary nuclear armed foes in the world. No debate on strategic issues, tactical methods, moral direction, fiscal pathways. Just rain money and deadly weapons and potentially the young blood of Americans … no debate. There they all stood - our nation as represented by our Congress - in rapturous for this evil man and his evil cause while we Americans are left to foot the bill in blood and treasure.
ReplyDeleteFor what? No one knows. Because no one has talked about it much less debated the choices. It is as if our leaders remain under the influence and authority of a power higher than them - a faceless socio-religious cult. Anyway, that’s what I thought when I saw our Congress essentially kneel before this wicked man.
"When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn." Proverbs 29:2
ReplyDeleteWe are in the grips of evil men, diabolical in fact. They sacrifice the blood of babies to maintain their power through the devil.
May we rise up an army of righteous, "powerless" laity to defeat them through the the power of the Holy Spirit and our 12-star general, the Queen of Heaven and Earth.
"Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array."
Putin has no more integrity than Zelensky. If Alexander Solzhenitsyn defends him, I question Solzhenitsyn’s integrity. Baby killing is the sine qua non of WEF politics, of which Putin is a straight “A” student.
