"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.


A "World Leader:"

                    Is he your leader? Do you follow him?

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.
