I used to keep myself informed daily by reading a wide range of news articles from around the World: The Economist, Le Monde, The Times, BBC, CBC, CNN, New York Times, Jornal do Brasil, South China Morning Post, Al Jazeera, Russia Today, etc. They offered a diverse range of views, with the truth usually being found somewhere in the middle.

Then, bit by bit, the viewpoints in the various organizations began to converge, while deviating from what I was observing around me. Then, starting with Covid19, nothing that I was reading made sense, particularly in the Western media. It became clear that the press was being used overtly to shape popular opinion into adhering to the governments' agenda. Dissenting views were crushed.

While a large proportion of the older population continues to believe what they are reading, younger generations are seeing through the manipulation and have become completely disengaged from the mainstream press, and readership and viewership are collapsing. Is it any surprise that governments are now having to increasingly subsidize their 'approved' news organizations?

Lol

Those disasters happens every fucking year at the same month.

The government just don’t care enough to solve it.

There have been many eye-witness reports and videos showing the Ukrainian forces:

- shelling residential areas in cities, including hospitals, schools and daycares

- firing banned anti-personel "petal mines" into residential areas

- killing un-armed Russian prisoners

- using schools, hospitals, ambulances and apartment buildings as cover for their troops

- dropping cannisters containing banned nerve agents on Russian positions

- forcing local civilians to remain in towns to be used as human shields

- taping Roma and other "sub-humans" to posts and beating them

- murdering civilian "Russian collaborators"

- wearing Nazi insignia and giving Nazi salutes to each other

- impressing 16-17 year-olds into the armed forces

And yet the West continues to support the Ukrainians and to insist that the Russians are the evil ones.

PV Nostr. The #plebchain continues.

What books are you reading?

I just finished Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers” and it was excellent. Really reframes what we often just see as blind luck or solely hard work.
