New York Doctor indicted in Louisiana for abortion pills. Trump exercises dictatorial power, shuts down USAID. And Elon Musk has your Social Security Number now.
1]- If Louisiana can get their hands on her, the doctor faces 15 years in a medieval type Louisiana prison and a $200,000 fine. The mother of the teenager who needed the abortion faces that fate.
2]- Trump shut down an agency created and funded by Congress, which he has no right- or legal authority- to do. Elon Musk, his de factor right hand man, called it a "criminal organization," and "radical left," -insane bullshit- and motivated Trump to take the illegal action. Trump said USAID "is run by radical lunatics." Of course it is an arm of U.S. foreign policy, that provides the parsimonious amount of NON-MILITARY foreign aid the U.S. provides. The agency goes back to 1961. The idea that ANY part of the U.S. government employs left-wing radicals is as preposterous as Hitler's claim that Germany didn't lose World War I, but was stabbed in the back on the home front.
One of the last hospitals in Gaza is shutting down- it received USAID funds.
20 million people around the world with AIDS are kept alive with medicines paid for by USAID. Maybe some other nation or nations or international organization will step into the breach. They better do so quickly, or there will be sicker people- and deaths.
Not that the white racists Trump and Musk care about murdering Africans.
These are just 2 of the important stories from the headlines feature of democracynow.org
For ten minutes, 5 days a week, of your time, you will be vastly better informed than you can be from relying on the power establishment's propaganda system if you follow headlines there. Plus they have longer stories on various topics. The website is very well oaid out, and their archive goes back years and the search function works very well- much better than I've experienced at the New York Times or the New Yorker, for example.
Don't make me have to inform you of what's going on. Take responsibility for knowing what's going on in the world YOU LIVE IN.
Obviously the remedy here is impeachment and removal from office of Trump. But the Republican Party controls both houses of Congress, and the Republican Party has degenerated into a political cult with Trump at its head.
Some think mass protests are somehow the answer. In his last round as president, Trump ordered then Secretary of Defense Mark Esper to have troops shoot protesters in the legs. Esper refused. But Defense Secretary this time, Peter Hegseth, will be glad to. In fact, this time the order will probably be to aim at heads and chests.
Too bad the lame and feckless Democratic Party helped allow this situation. The Biden regime could have indicted Trump in early 2021 for the failed coup and theft of a massive amount of classified documents. Instead they dragged their feet for several years, by which time Trump rebuilt his popularity and the Republican-controlled Federal judiciary effectively stalled the cases until they were killed or dropped.

U.S. Media Obsession Of The Day: Military Helicopter Causes Fatal Airline Crash In Washington, DC
I say "causes," because a Blackhawk helicopter has no business "training" next to a very busy airport, where it collided with an American Airlines plane coming in to land. Both craft landed in a freezing cold river. There were no survivors. The U.S. media didn't say "caused," even though it obviously did. It's "under investigation."
For many years now, the U.S. military can do no wrong in the eyes of the U.S. corporate propaganda system.
And once again, I am struck by the contrast between the obsession with a relatively minor tragedy befalling some Americans (33 people on the airliner, 3 on the "chopper") and the ongoing atrocities being inflicted by Israel upon Palestinians. Which total U.S. support makes possible.
For one thing, there's the sham "ceasefire" in Gaza. Israel continues to murder Palestinians there, including young children. (Democracynow.org reports these murders, as do other non-corporate media which are not part of the U.S. power establishment.) And there is no "ceasefire," not even the pretense of one, in the West Bank, where an ongoing pogrom with "ethnic cleansing" (a euphemism for violent expulsion of a population) is invisible in the U.S. propaganda system. Over the last 15 months, this campaign of Israeli annexation has killed close to a thousand Palestinians (men, women, children, the elderly- there are no exemptions), destroyed or stolen Palestinian property, crops, olive trees, sheep, homes. Cynical Joe Biden made a symbolic move about that- putting empty "sanctions" on a few notorious Israeli "settlers" (most of those creeps are from Brooklyn, NY), but since they doubtless have little or no U.S. assets and don't move capital through the international (U.S.-controlled) financial system, these putative sanctions are devoid of effect. Trump cancelled even those pretend sanctions immediately upon taking office again.
And in case you believe there's a "ceasefire" in Lebanon, I must inform you that like all Israeli ceasefires these days, it is one-sided. Israel lashes out violently whenever it feels like it. Having decapitated Hezbollah and devastated southern Lebanon (a recurring habit of Israel's) Lebanon is virtually defenseless against Israel the bully nation. (Oh, Israel keeps gobbling up more pieces of Syria too. Or weren't you informed by American "journalists"?)
The only response to any of the facts by the U.S.-Israeli power establishment is to brand their victims "terrorists" and people who mention the facts "anti-Semites." We're dealing with closed-minded imperialist fanatics, fanatics who are incorrigible.

"World Leaders" Is A Propaganda Term For Country Bosses
We've been subjected to much blather about "world leaders" as the political class that rules countries meets at the UN to orate. This propaganda term is used ubiquitously in media. It is absurd. How many of the politicians who rise to the top political positions in their nations are inspirational leaders whose people are their followers? It is a conceit by politicians, and the propaganda systems use this term to support the political rulerships of their respective countries.
Here's
another example of how propaganda media use the word "leader" to twist
reality and gaslight people. Corporate bosses are NEVER "bosses" in
capitalist media. They are always and only "leaders." The word "boss" is
reserved for labor union officials. There are "union bosses," but no
corporate bosses, no business bosses. So if you're a worker, your boss
isn't your boss, he/she is your Leader, and you are inspired to follow!
Your boss is a union official, if you're even in a union.
This
dishonest charade serves to hide the fact that corporate bosses are
powerful rulers. In the United States and other countries, the
governments are the servants of powerful corporations. After World War
II the U.S. created entire organizations to enforce the power of U.S.
corporations to exploit other nations. For example, the CIA exists to
overthrow governments that don't serve U.S. corporate interests.

How The U.S. Uses Food As A Weapon In The Ukraine War
Specifically as a propaganda weapon.
Western
propagandists and politicians and imperialist apparatchiks want us to
believe that Russia wants to starve Africans. They expect us to believe
that Putin wants to use food as a "weapon" against the very African
nations Russia is keen to keep neutral in the proxy war the U.S. is
waging against Russia in Ukraine. Why in hell would Putin want to
alienate those nations that have remained neutral in the NATO war to
wreck Russia? It's as absurd and dishonest as Nazi anti-Semitic
propaganda, completely ludicrous.
U.S. and Eurostooge media
propagandists keep falsely "reporting" that "Russia pulled out of the
[grain] deal." No, the "deal" expired, and Russia declined to renew it,
for the very good reason that the deal WASN'T HONORED. Russia was
double-crossed. (As the U.S. and its Eurolackeys have repeatedly
double-crossed Russia again and again since defeating the Soviet Union
in the Cold War.) The deal was that both Ukraine AND Russia would be
allowed to export grains. Russia honored its side of the bargain, even
though it was blocked from exporting.
Western imperialists
claim Russian grain exports weren't banned, but this is deceptive.
Russian grain exports weren't specifically banned, but they were
effectively banned because Russia was and is barred from international
payment systems by "Western sanctions." That is to say, by U.S. diktat.
The U.S. controls the international financial system and payments
mechanisms. So international trade is extremely difficult without U.S.
permission. The world is under the yoke of a U.S.-controlled system of
trade and finance. This is part of what is euphemised as "the
international order." What it is is a system of U.S. global domination.
Russia
has made clear they will join a new agreement if this time they are not
double-crossed. That is blocked from public consciousness by Western
propagandists (aka "journalists" or "reporters") state apparatchiks like
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken (who repeatedly attacks Russia
for "using food as a weapon" and allegedly starving people) and
politicians.
The ones using food as a weapon are the U.S. and
its satrapys. They are using it as a propaganda weapon to claim evil
Russia wants to starve Africans.
Russia has responded to the
U.S. refusal to permit a fair deal by shelling Ukraine regime food
warehouses. At least that's what Western propaganda agencies claim.
Given how mendacious so much of their "news" has been- they wanted us to
believe Russia sabotaged its own undersea gas pipeline, that for months
it shelled its own troops at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine,
and other absurdities- unfortunately we can't take for granted the
accuracy of any "reportage" by Western propaganda outfits. These
propagandists' jobs are to make Russia look as evil as possible, the the
Kyiv regime noble freedom fighters. We the people are the targets and
victims of their propaganda barrages.
Postscript: I
actually wrote this several weeks ago. Today the propagandists are still
gaslighting the public about this issue. For example, on NPR, loathsome
propagandist Greg Myrie yammered on and on about mean Russia causing
hunger, while carefully omitting Russia's completely valid complaint,
and the REAL party responsible for the impasse- the U.S., which refuses
to allow Russia to sell its grain.

A Telling Shift In Ukrainian War Propaganda
For the first months of the Russian invasion and war in Ukraine, Western politicians, propagandists, and government apparatchiks never, ever, said "Russia's invasion" or "Russia's war" without preceding those words with the adjective "brutal." As if other wars are NOT brutal. Just THIS one. A war BY RUSSIA is special, because it's a brutal war, unlike the NICE wars waged by the U.S. and its European lackeys, most of which were ruthless colonizing empires. [1]
But lately there's been an organized, and perhaps orchestrated, change in the propaganda jargon. Instead of "Russia's brutal war," now it's Russia's unprovoked war." (CNN's hyper-Zionist hack Wolf Blitzer gilded the lily, calling the war "totally unprovoked." Methinks thou doth protest too much, Bearded One!)
The timing is rather odd. The time to screech "unprovoked" would have been when the war was launched, back in February, not seven months later, starting in September!
Why the inappropriate timing? Why now?
Perhaps because more and more people are hearing dissidents describe how indeed there was provocation. In fact, a lot of it.
I DIDN'T SAY JUSTIFICATION. Hold your horses! Provocation doesn't automatically justify a particular response or reaction. In this case I don't think it did. Indeed, Putin's decision to invade is the most disastrous decision he's ever made. It is causing the U.S. empire to wreck Russia's economy. It is costing the lives of Russians. The U.S. and its lackeys have stolen roughly a trillion dollars of Russia's money, which it will certainly hand over to its Ukrainian client regime to rebuild and as "reparations." Russia's strategic position is weakened, and its access to the Black Sea is in peril, as Kyiv regime president Zelensky has announced his intention to seize Crimea. And of course many Ukrainians have suffered, and died. (But this war has been great for at least one Ukrainian, namely Volodymyr Zelensky. He's built himself up into a Hero Of Western Democracy (so-called).
Before now, Putin played a weak hand deftly. But emotion apparently overcame better judgment.
Maybe he didn't realize how weak his army actually was. On paper it may look strong, but in reality it is poorly trained, badly organized, and terribly led. And now Putin is conscripting 300,000 mostly untrained men to throw into the meatgrinder, to be senselessly killed and maimed. Which will achieve nothing militarily.
And make no mistake: This is a proxy war by the U.S. against Russia, using Ukraine to do the dirty work. The U.S. has been preparing for this war since the violent U.S. coup in 2014 that overthrew the elected Ukrainian government and replaced it with one that had (and has) neo-Nazis at its core. (Dishonestly, Western propagandists dismiss that fact as Russian propaganda.) For example, U.S. Special Operations Forces have been secretly training Ukrainian troops since 2014. [2]

Did The Queen Of The United States Just Die?
[AFTER you read this, check out my Tribute video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWxmPO8RZBs]
Finally they're going to bury her. After a mere TEN DAYS of dragging things out.
I
don't have to pretend to be sad because some head of state I didn't
know personally died. Let all the "world leaders" (country bosses) put
on a show of feigned grief. They're all in the same racket, and birds of
a feather flock together.
As for the ignorant masses lining
up for a glimpse at her corpse, all I can say is- pathetic people
laboring under false consciousness induced by a lifetime of imbibing
propaganda.
I turned on the radio this morning to get some
news. Instead I got British monarchy propaganda. From all "news"
stations in New York City, self-proclaimed "Media Capital Of The World."
NPR, the U.S.-Government created national radio network, started their
morning broadcast at 5 am with these words: "Good morning, Britain is
saying Goodbye to Queen Elizabeth The Second..." then I turned it off.
They've been "saying Goodbye" for ten days. Indeed, the death of U.S.
presidents don't get this grossly distended "coverage" from U.S. media! [1]
From the way U.S. media has been carrying on about the inevitable death of the 96-year-old "Queen" of Britain, you'd think she WAS the Queen of America! U.S. media have made the death of this "Queen" the top story, and are giving it saturation coverage. Since there really isn't much to say, every trivial detail is breathlessly conveyed, such as the new titles for her grandkids. We are being told such nonsense as that the entire world is affected by this. (Ron Elving, a senior NPR "commentator," compared the "queen" to the rock of Gibraltar. I kid you not. Saturday morning, Sept. 10.) U.S. (and of course British) media are pretending that every single person in Britain feels exactly the same way about this "Queen" and the British monarchy. Obviously a lie, as there are millions of republicans in Britain. Indeed, probably the majority of people in Scotland do not want to be under the aegis of the British "crown." In the U.S., overt censorship is enforcing a totalitarian image of all citizens being of like mind. This is the essence of totalitarianism, the imposition of one mind on everybody. One example: Twitter has been busy deleting dissent from the "universal" adulation of the now dead career "Queen."
The incredible amount of gushing guff, of fawning admiration based on no actual accomplishments except that Elizabeth lasted in the post for so long, is not only cloying, and taxing to one's patience, as well as crowding out important news, but more importantly it reveals the true, anti-democratic nature of the bourgeois class dictatorships that "Western" countries are ruled by. Monarchies, which are systems of inherited power and privilege, and that originally claimed for centuries to be based on divine diktat, are completely anti-democratic. Yet the bourgeoisie promote aristocracy-worship, in both "news" media and "entertainment" media, which functions as an even more powerful indoctrination tool than "news." Think of Disney "princesses," to cite one ubiquitous and vastly influential example.
That's why I put "Queen" in quotes. I do not recognize the legitimacy of aristocracy! Nor should any normal human being. The idea that anyone is innately superior because their parents are innately superior and their parents were innately superior and their parents were and their parents were designated by a "god" to rule, and are entitled to special privileges, status, and wealth, by dint of this bogus designation, is a massive con game and the antithesis of democracy. Which doesn't stop the bourgeoisie from simultaneously claiming that democracy is one of their core values, and that all the wars they start and provoke, both hot and cold, are done to "defend democracy" or are "fighting for democracy," including the current Western proxy war between Ukraine and Russia, intended to bleed Russia white, or to "permanently weaken" it, as U.S. war secretary General Austin publicly revealed a few months ago.
Given
the cravenness with which the UK government obeys every command of its
U.S. masters, perhaps we could chalk up the U.S. power establishment's
over-the-top treatment of yet another succession in the British
monarchy, that barbaric, seemingly immortal medieval relic, as an
imperialist courtesy. God knows the U.S. cares little for actual British
interests. The only exception to that that I can think of was during
the Falklands war, when the U.S. military provided support to the
British war effort that was critical to Britain successfully defeating
the Argentine invaders of those islands. [2]
Some facts obliterated by Western propagandists in their current campaign of aristocracy worship: The "Windsors" were a German monarchical
family, but during the slaughter of World War I, that fact became a bit
too awkward, so they conveniently changed their family name to
something more appropriate to the country they were reigning over. (How
does that affect their "divine" license to rule, I wonder? Never mind.)
Here's another one: Elizabeth was the richest woman in Britain.
And her and her family are subsidized by the government- meaning by the
people of Britain, who pay for the government- to the tune of millions
of pounds sterling a year.
Also totally whitewashed are the
vicious crimes of the British empire during "Her Majesty's" reign, which
began in 1953. These include the savage "counterinsurgency" campaigns
Britain waged in several of its colonies to crush attempts to break free
of oppressive British rule and the economic exploitation that enriched
British elites. "Counterinsurgency" consists of torture and murder,
mostly. In Kenya the British felt it necessary to castrate many of their
prisoners. Who knows why. Was it to compensate for feelings of sexual
inferiority that white racists commonly feel towards black men? Who
knows. None of these savage beasts was ever put on a psychiatrist's
couch to be asked. But there's an entire counterinsurgency literature
explaining the theory and practice of oppressing the oppressed when they
rebel, written by practitioners of the criminal arts and imperialist
theorists.
Defenders of this barbaric medieval relic, "the
monarchy," sometimes pretend that it's just for show, and doesn't
actually have any power. This is nonsense. The current prime minister,
Liz Truss, had to be appointed pm by the "Queen." The previous pm, Boris
"Bojo the Clown" Johnson had to go to the "Queen" to submit his
resignation.
The monarchy exercises power in many ways
semi-hidden from public view. The CIA-MI6 coup in Australia that
overthrew a Labor government there needed the cooperation of the Queen's
overseer in Australia to do that. . [Search "cia coup australia 1975"
for details.]
Here's another example of power at work: At least 3 people are known to have been arrested for publicly voicing dissent from the Officially Required Monarchy Worship. One man was arrested for shouting a non-obscene rebuke to "Prince" Andrew referencing his sexual exploitation of the teenage girls in the harem of Jeffrey Epstein, the intelligence operative assassinated in a Federal jail in Manhattan to silence him.
The hereditary class of the Divinely Privileged
are "Royal," and are high above mere humans, who are "Commoners," nobody
special. Is British identity so insecure that only the glue of a
monarchy can hold it together? That seems to be the hidden fear of
British power elites. That certainly is one reason they have milked this
death for all it's worth.
By modern convention, the monarch
doesn't refuse to do what's expected. But this is a convention, not a
law. What if the monarch refused? Then what? Would they call that a
"Constitutional crisis"? This is a nation whose "Constitution" is
unwritten. That is, it only exists as a mental construct. So what does
it "say"? It is ideological vapor. It seems the power elite of Britain
prefers not to be constrained by actual words that are written down.
Very flexible, such a "system" with a notional, as opposed to an actual, Constitution. Having no fixed rules lets the powerful do as they wish.
One
factor that partially accounts for some people's attraction to monarchy
is political infantilism. They want a Big Mommy or a Big Daddy (the
actual nickname for a number of African autocrats and dictators) to take
care of them, to make all the decisions, to exercise power putatively
on their behalf. (Then there is the periodic "shock" and "feeling of
betrayal" when it turns out that people in power sre NOT the benevolent
Parents Of The People but exercise power on their own behalf and for
small elites.)
The silver lining in this absurd obsession
with the death of a desiccated relic of the middle ages is a partial
respite from the Ukrainian war propaganda campaign that began really in
October 2021 and was cranked up to World War II levels with the very
ill-advised- and ill-starred- Russian invasion of February 24. The
British elites have decided that it requires ten days of wallowing in
her death to properly mark the passing of their "Queen,," so probably at
least in Britain the Ukraine war propaganda noise machine will be
turned down during that time. Although its substitute is hardly less
noxious and psychologically harmful in the warping of minds.
I will acknowledge that Elizabeth was good at her job. The problem is, the job shouldn't exist.
But
Elizabeth's lifetime of "duty" and "service" to British imperialist
power extends past her death. Now the woman's corpse is being used to
shore up support for the British power establishment, both among its
"subjects" (including in the Commonwealth nations, the Commonwealth
being Empire Lite) and in allied and any other nations that can be
mesmerized by the ritual display of "pomp and circumstance."
But
the "royal" family is well paid for its "sacrifice," not just in status
and privilege, but in filthy lucre. At root, imperialism is about
economic exploitation, so it is fitting that the "royals" should be
rich.
1] I try again to get some news at 5:22 AM, and STILL no news, just more "royalty" propaganda: "I'm Rachel Martin in London. And today we are remembering the life of England's [sic] longest serving monarch..." Haven't "we" been "remembering" for the past 9 days, now 10? In other words, more lionization of that woman. NPR flew a morning "news" anchor, Martin, over to London just to read bromides that could have been read from a studio in the U.S. The main NPR affiliate in NYC, WNYC, broadcasts BBC all night, which is easily 70% monarchy propaganda during this period. WNYC owns a classical music station, WQXR, which at 7 am treated its listeners to the following assertion masquerading as news, from the mouth of Kerry Nolan: "Britain and the world [sic!] are saying a final goodbye to Queen Elizabeth..." etc. The WHOLE WORLD is drafted into this compulsory mourning, according to UK and U.S. propagandists!
Among the most cravenly fawning "royalty" guff
in U.S. media is aired courtesy of Michael Bloomberg Billionaire. He
owns a network of radio stations, broadcasts on TV, and of course on
youtube. He flew his morning economic chatter team over to London on his
private jet to spew the same platitudes they'd already been spouting
from their New York lair. No surprise that a billionaire would support
monarchy. Monarchy teaches submission to "authority" in the form of ones
"betters." And billionaires all think they're better than us.
2] It was only because Reagan's "Defense" Secretary, Caspar Weinberger, on his own initiative went to Britain's aid that the U.S. helped Britain. The fascist Jeane Kirkpatrick urged president Reagan to side with the fascist Argentine military junta, a criminal gang that tortured and murdered 30,000 defenseless Argentine civilians whose supposed political leanings were not to the fascist military dictators' liking. That regime was backed 100% by the U.S. government AND media, including the "liberal" New York Times, which for years lied about how many victims were murdered by the fascists the Sulzberger family was supporting. (The Sulzbergers have owned and controlled that rag for over a century.) The NYT hid the mass murders for years. Then they claimed the deaths were in the hundreds. Gradually they went into the thousands, but always well below the true figure. Finally, in only ONE ARTICLE, the true toll popped up. Then in subsequent articles the number was shrunk back down! Shades of George Orwell's "1984."
The NY Times, in this and many other instances, acted as an accomplice to state terrorism.
Reagan,
acting to allow the fascist Argentine dictatorship to keep the
now-occupied Falklands, telephoned British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher and urged her to back down, but she refused. The Falklands had
been colonized by Britain in a previous century and was inhabited by
Anglo British citizens who had no desire to come under the boot heel of
the fascist Argentine military dictatorship.

Slavishly Subservient To Zelensky Propaganda, Western Media Refuse To Report Kyiv Regime Is Shelling Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant
"Someone" is shelling "Europe's largest nuclear reactor," which is occupied by Russian troops. Ukrainian president and frontman for U.S. imperialism Volodymyr Zelensky yells at the top of his lungs it is the Russians doing it. Russia, whose soldiers occupy the plant, say it is the Ukrainians. Who to believe? It is a baffling mystery to Western media propagandists, including the creme de la creme "quality" media like the BBC and NPR, government and quasi-government propaganda platforms of the UK and U.S., respectively. They "report" that "Ukraine" (the Kyiv regime installed by the U.S.) and Russia "each accuse the other." This absurd agnosticism is in fact an improvement over the first week or so, when they treated Zelensky's preposterous lie that the Russians were BOMBARDING THEIR OWN FORCES as true, and of course anything Russia says is a lie. Now we're in the "both sides blame the other" phase of hiding the obvious truth from Western publics.
We
can be reasonably certain- in fact we can be 99.99999% certain, that
the Russians are NOT shelling the Russian-occupied Z nuclear plant
because as a general rule ARMIES DO NOT DELIBERATELY ATTTACK THEIR OWN
SOLDIERS. Know what I mean? There are accidents, to be sure, but this
has been a sustained campaign of shelling for weeks. Fires have been
started, power lines and other infrastructure on the plant grounds
damaged by the deranged Ukrainian bombardment campaign.
But
Zelensky, with Western "journalists" and Western-controlled institutions
in tow, are pretending that Russia is attacking its own position.
Zelensky, an erstwhile comedian, has proven himself a breathtakingly
mendacious demagogue at the leve of Donald J. Trump, an erstwhile
"reality" TV show host and steak salesman.
Zelensky, with extreme cynicism, almost daily denunces Russia for shelling the nuclear facility AS HIS ARMY IS SHELLING IT! The Euroslug handmaidens to U.S. imperialism have taken to demanding stop risking nuclear disaster and vacate the plant. This is all an incredibly cynical and dangerous ploy to force the Russian army to retreat.
To be sure, the Russians are using the plant to fire munitions towards Ukranian positions. Apparently they thought the Kyiv regime forces wouldn't be so reckless and irresponsible as to return fire. Yet another Russian miscalculation. (Of course by far their biggest miscalculation, and it was a whopper, was invading western Ukraine in the first place.)
Examples abound in broadcast and
print media of playing dumb about who is shelling the Russian position.
"Each side blames the other" is what Western propagandists have settled
on.
This is as far as U.S. propaganda radio network NPR will
go towards telling the truth: "Russia and Ukraine blame each other for
shelling that has damaged the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, there are
concerms that [blah-blah]" "reports" Dave Mattingly, NPR "news," [1] The
nuclear plant is being shelled and "both sides are blaming the other"
says another NPR propagandist, Frank Langford, on "Morning Edition," the
morning dose of NPR propaganda. [2]
On MIchael Bloomberg Billionaire's propaganda radio channel WBBR New York City, limey propagandist Leanne Garrels tells us that Russia is using the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant "to shield its troops according to [conveniently anonymous] European intelligence officials." [3] Leanne won't even tell us which countries these faceless secret police are from.
Well,
the plant doesn't seem to be "shielding" the Russian soldiers very
well, since the Kyiv regime keeps bombarding it, then screeching that
Russia is endangering Europe by being there, and the Eurolackeys of U.S.
Imperialism chime in (as does the U.S.), and they all work to draft the
UN bureaucracy and its head, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in the
effort to force the Russians to retreat.
You see, as long as
the Russians are occupying the plant, all Europe and indeed the world
is in danger of a nuclear disaster! Why? Well THAT part is left unsaid.
It's because THE KYIV REGIME'S FORCES ARE SHELLING THE PLANT.
[Zelensky working to enlist UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in his war effort and scheme to for a Russian retreat from nuclear plant- Lviv, Ukraine, August 18, 2022.]
Zelensky, a supremely cynical man, is blaming the Russians for being shelled, repeating over and over the whopping lie that the Russians are shelling themselves, and no Western media or politician will contradict this preposterous lie.
All this obfuscates the obvious: the
shelling by the Kyiv regime is what's endangering the plant. But Western
propaganda works overtime to hide this obvious reality, with remarkable
success.
