THE POSTMODERN OPIATE OF THE PEOPLE

   We haven't been writing as much about Ukraine here as we did about the Russian Expedition to Syria a few years ago. The reason hasn't anything to do with anti-Russian cancel culture, which was just as bad in 2016 as it is now. As in Syria, we see the Russians accomplishing good things in Ukraine and standing up to the scourge of Western Neoliberalism. Now, as then, Russia is the last line of defense against the forces which would overthrow our common Civilization and heritage.

   The reason that we haven't written as much about Ukraine, to be honest, is that it's become too repetitive. The Western Corporate-Controlled Media is fomenting the very same lies from the very same front-groups hired by the very same financial interests for the very same reasons that they did about Syria in 2016. Russia has been "losing the war" now for 18 straight months---despite liberating four provinces (which joined the Russian Federation) and securing Crimea. Russia has been "running out material and men"---even though just yesterday the Beltway was fuming about Russian joint military maneuvers with China (5,000 miles away from the frontlines). Russia's economy is "on the verge of collapse"---though somehow Russia managed to airlift over 100 tons of humanitarian aid to earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria last February. And we're all still waiting for that vaunted Ukro counteroffensive which hasn't materialized anymore than the ISIS one was supposed to in 2016. So on, and so on: it's simply one lie on top another and we've heard them all before. 

     A specimen of this kind of disinformation came across the news-feeds the other day. This story has been blown all over the internet and been reported in a few MSM outlets, but it's completely typical.

    "Russian President Vladimir Putin has banned 5G towers in the Russian Federation amid concerns the technology is medically unsafe and has caused the deaths of school children near St. Petersburg...In mid-July, the Russian president met with many telecom executives and health experts to discuss the dangers inherent in the proliferation of 5G tech. He showed them images of dead children; one’s brain had liquified. He informed them he intended to enforce a moratorium on 5G research and demolish all towers in the Russian Federation.

   "His mandate wasn’t well-received by the Telecom executives. MTS Vice President of 5G Infrastructure Borya Vlasov said the absence of 5G would put Russia at a technological disadvantage, adding that Russia needed 5G to strengthen a once-thriving economy now faltering thanks to Putin’s actions in Ukraine. Putin spread images of the dead and sick children on a conference table, reportedly saying, 'What about them? What has your 5G done to them?'

   “'We can’t blame 5G for this. Our comrades in the West agree that 5G is safe,' Vlasov said. Putin ordered the security agent beside him to shoot Vlasov squarely between the eyes. Without hesitation, the agent drew his Makarov pistol and put a bullet in Vlasov’s forehead in full view of 15 people. A week later, the Engineer Troops of the Russian Federation began decommissioning 5G cellular towers in Moscow. As of this writing, Russia has eliminated all its 5G towers."

    In fact, Russia has been upgrading its telecommunication systems to 5G. When Wall Street ordered its government in Washington and its colonies to embargo Russia in 2022, Russia turned to China and India for technological assistance. There have been stories in both the Chinese and Indian Media confirming this. We've been unable to find any evidence that any such person as Borya Vlaslov ever existed, let alone worked for the Russian Government. 

   However, we have been able to trace the source of the story. It comes from a website called Real Raw News which is run by a middle-aged Incel living in Texas named Michael Tuffin. Tuffin posts under the alias 'Michael Baxter' and has a documented history of promoting Q-Anon and Alien Agenda baloney.

     Tuffin is so extreme that he was even banned from Gab---a notorious hotbed of Alt-Rino and White Supremacist crackpots. Besides reporting the ludicrous claims of Q Anon as factual news, Tuffin is also a big promoter of the Planet Nibiru Theory. 'Nibiru' was the name of a planet found on ancient Sumerian texts. It was actually the Sumerian name for Jupiter; but some nonetheless concluded that it was really another planet in our solar system that astronomers won't tell us about. It's much like Owen Benjamin's theories about Tartaria, which he based upon the name appearing in mediaeval maps (the same maps which showed Dark Africa because it was believed by the settled science then that the Sun couldn't shine at the Equator). Such is the MSM's desperation to find any anti-Russian smears that will stick---even from sources like this. Meanwhile, they have the shameless gall enough to label Russian news as 'propaganda' and ban it wherever they can.

    The same is true of these "on-the-ground" sources in Ukraine. They are evocative of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights which practically was the entire news source for the MSM during the Syrian Civil War. Based in London, financed by a Soros-backed organization, SOHR was headed by a former Syrian Army officer who had escaped from jail after being convicted of embezzlement and espionage. His information came from the Al-Qaeda Syrian Front, which discreetly changed its name to Al-Nusra to gain Western gullibility credibility. These yo-yos reporting from Ukraine are of the same stripe: neo-nazis, former ISIS and Al-Qaeda mercenaries, Soros-backed Deep State operatives: that's all that is really left of the Ukrainian Military---most of whom surrendered or defected to Russia a long time ago. 

   President Trump was correct when he called our Media "a national disgrace" because that's what it really is. If the American public still had a capacity for feeling shame or enough dignity left to resent the lies peddled to them on a regular basis, they would demand much-needed Media reform. But that's not likely to happen since Big Pharma, Big Ag, and High Finance control most of the Media's revenues; and they sell enough drugs, adulterated foods, and wield enough financial power to keep the populace drugged-up, dumbed-down, and complaint.
