Pushed Towards Nuclear War On A Fiction

[Jimmy Snacks]

We're being driven toward nuclear war on the completely fictional claim that Putin is a Hitler-like megalomaniac who's just invading countries completely unprovoked, solely because he is evil and hates freedom, and won't stop invading and conquering until he's stopped by force. 

The news media aren't telling people about the western aggressions which led to this war. They're not telling people the US is keeping this war going with the stated goal of weakening Russia and is rejecting peace talks and refusing to push for peace. All people are being told is that Putin is another Hitler who won't listen to reason and only understands violence. The world's two nuclear superpowers are being pushed closer and closer to direct military confrontation based on a complete fiction which omits mountains of facts.

To participate in this madness is indefensible. It is indefensibly immoral to foist a fictional version of events upon a trusting populace in order to manufacture consent for more and more aggressive acts of brinkmanship with a nuclear superpower. These people are depraved.

"No no you don't understand, if we weren't being told constantly by the media that this proxy war needs our full support and censoring the voices who dispute this and using giant troll armies to swarm and silence anyone who questions this, we might fall victim to propaganda."

❖

"You're not anti-war, you're just anti-AMERICAN wars," said the person who is loudly cheerleading America's proxy war in Ukraine.

Warmongers don't like being called warmongers when they support a US proxy war that was deliberately provoked by the US and is being sustained by the funding and facilitation of the US with the explicit goal of weakening a longtime geopolitical rival of the US. They get very upset when you point out the fact that they are doing this, and when people's opposition to their warmongering is described as "anti-war":

Calling this deranged nonsense “anti-war” is giving it way too much credit.

They very much prefer to pretend that this time the US is on the good and righteous side of a war, because in that imaginary world they're the cool anti-fascists standing up to an evil tyrant and those who oppose their warmongering are the real warmongers.

"This time the US is on the GOOD side of a war! Also, goo goo ga ga I am a little baby with a little baby brain."

The closer we get to nuclear war the less patience I have for sectarian spats between people who are supposed to be opposing war and militarism. Grow the fuck up and get over yourselves. This is more important than you and your ego.

Don't let anyone tell you your criticisms of US warmongering make no difference; if they didn't, the empire wouldn't work so hard to dissuade you from making them. They work so hard to manufacture public consent for their agendas because they absolutely require that consent.

An entire globe-spanning empire rests on our closed eyelids. Depends on keeping us in a propaganda-induced coma. Circulating ideas and information which discredit and dispute that propaganda poses a direct threat to that empire. That's what all the censorship of dissent is about.

Is your one tweet, video or public demonstration going to bring the empire crashing down? Of course not. But it will spread awareness by that much. And all positive changes in human behavior are always preceded by an expansion of awareness. You're nudging us all toward awakening to whatever extent you help expand awareness of truth and reality. 

We can't be the Hollywood hero who single-handedly decapitates the machine, but we can all collectively throw sand in its gears, making it harder and harder for it to function. That's what disrupting the imperial propaganda machine accomplishes, because that machine depends on propaganda. The weakest part of an empire that's held together by lies and manipulation is its lies and manipulations; that's why it's such an aggressively protected aspect of its power. And it happens to be the one part that anyone with a voice can attack, and attack effectively.

The nightmare scenario for our rulers is the same as the nightmare scenario for every ruler throughout history: that the masses will get sick of their rule and use the power of their numbers to get rid of them. That's exactly what the propaganda matrix is designed to prevent.

One aspect of this struggle that is a bit like a Hollywood movie is that it kind of is a struggle between light and darkness, because the empire depends on keeping its activities obfuscated and unseen while we're all working to make its machinery visible and transparent. That's why Assange is in prison. It's also why internet censorship keeps ramping up, why propaganda is getting more and more blatant, and why online discussion is swarmed by astroturf trolling ops. Those in power are working against the people to keep things dark and unseen.

Last line says it all! "Those in power are working against the people to keep things dark and unseen"

[ArcticCrusher]

Yes, we are.  More truth we won't find on the fake news.

In addition to his rambling manifesto, we have his pesky Statement he said below when he compared himself.to Peter the Great.

I will take what was said directly from the source as fact over those opinion hit peices.  We are definitely on the right side in stopping Putin now.....he had every intention of trying to take back the old Societ Union areas...including Nato Baltic.States in addition to Ukraine..  But ...but USA bad.....gimme a break.

"Well it seems it has fallen to us to take back and strengthen territories"

I don't know anyone who thinks we need to invest one cent of our national blood and treasure to get involved in this war, yet our politicians are sending billions to Ukraine and now Putin is threatening nuclear responses.  Same politicians who don't seem at all interested in negotiating a peace settlement.  I think most of us are all on the same page here.

After how much the western media has straight up lied to us the last 10 years and people still fall for it. I don’t get it 

[akvanden]

Russia won’t use nukes. It’s a tactic, and look how well it’s working. If I were  Putin, reading this article, I’d lean over to my PR guy and say “talk more about nukes.” 

Russia borders Ukraine to the north, east, and south. Using a nuke would be like pissing into the wind.

I’ve been reading right here how this thing is going to spiral out of control into a global nuclear war for almost a year. I need specifics. Bucket list you know.

I’ve always been an awesome multitasker. AFJ has been spending some time on DU. Them wokesters are mean as skunk piss when they get riled.

As opposed to Russia invading Ukraine and taking the whole country over like they had planned. Leaving them in control of another large oil field in the black and in a position to threaten NATO ships in the black sea and in a position to continue to take back Soviet block countries. 

[ArcticCrusher]

Stand with Ukraine.

Can you point to just 1 example of America fighting Russia thrugh another countery or Russia fighting us with another countery has worked out in the US favor ? Just 1 example there are a few to pick from

Sorry but stopping him now was key...if he rolled through Ukraine unscathed, he would have been emboldened to takeover the Baltics.(part of Nato) ..... Then it would have been our war and we would have HAD to get involved and put boots on the ground, likely suffering casualties. This was the cheapest and best route we could have possibly taken.....Russia is severely weakened as a result and wont be able to fulfill Putins desire to reassemble the USSR.......which was really his desire all along.....the Nazi and Drug user rhetoric was all BS.
