There is a ferocious attack on the truth. If we do not use our website well, we will find ourselves in total darkness.
Yesterday while I was driving, I turned on the radio in the car to hear if the Russians/Syrians had started the liberation of Idlib, in Syria by Washington-backed terrorists. Everything I heard instead, were radio NPR, they were two white women deploring white racism. They felt so guilty for having indirectly benefited from white racism that, Me too, it felt like drowning in the guilt of one of those females, before he had even finished speaking.
You won't be able to believe what an "indirect benefit" was that produced a severe form of guilt in the white female., but maybe it's good to try. She had bought a brick bungalow identical to the one next door, where a black American lived, with the difference that the attic of his house had been completely renovated, while his black neighbor's attic had not been renovated. His racial guilt stemmed from the fact that the white person from whom he bought the house could have made his attic nicer, while his black neighbor had not been able to do so, It seems like it's because of racism.
Does this seem like a reasonable explanation for wallowing in racial guilt? I can think of so many other better reasons why, but, it is never talked about in the print media. For example, as Eric Zuesse reports, than Saudi Arabia, the puppet state that Washington has incited against Yemen, stay"systematically blocking food supplies that should reach tens of millions of men, the Houthis, who live in Yemen surrounded by the roar of an engine of death continuously kept running by US allies "The Houthis are dying of hunger because they wanted to choose their own government, not the one imposed by Washington.
It makes us wonder how low the sense of racial guilt expressed by one of the two white women on NPR could be, that guilt that he found so difficult to bear: a black neighbor with a house like his, but without a renovated attic, a clear sign of racism to feel guilty of.
How they might react, with an emotional and intellectual paucity, like the one demonstrated by these women on NPR, if they were aware that the US is not objecting to the fact that ten million people are starving in Yemen, how they would react if they had known about the destruction, complete or partial of 8 countries under the criminal Clinton regime, George W. Bush and Obama and now continues under the Trump regime? How would they bear their guilt, these women, if they knew about the systematic genocide of Palestinians carried out by the State of Israel?
Naturally, they don't have to react, because NPR never talks about it. NPR is always there where some white person goes to self-report, because they feel unworthy and this way of doing things can never be stopped if people don't show people where they - truly - feel the sense of guilt. If we don't make white people understand what they really have to feel guilty about, how blacks and Jews will feel safe ?
All US print and TV media are aligned with NPR : I am missing in action for a long time. Russiagate is an orchestration of the US military-security complex that serves to prevent President Trump from blunting the dangerous tensions that exist between the two main nuclear powers and from normalizing relations with Russia. Normalizing relations could have a negative impact on the enormous budget and power of the military-security complex. Therefore, humanity must continue to live with the risk of nuclear Armageddon, to guarantee the budget of the military-security complex, particularly to secure Dick Chaney's interests in Halliburton.
The Russian government has submitted to the United Nations a documented and substantiated complaint that terrorists, who benefit from Washington's support in Idlib province, they prepared a chemical attack false flag to blame Syria and implicitly Russia. The videos are available online, where you see the evidence, before the attack was announced, then preparatory exercises, with school children in Idlib browsing through the cameras. Washington has such control over what the media will report that this “false-flag chemical attack done by Syria” can go forward, even if it is certified by the International Organizations on Chemical Weapons Control that the Syrian government has zero chemical weapons. See on YouTube, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYBJH2IaLF8&feature=youtu.be
I hope that readers have not yet been completely brainwashed and can see that this is a film prepared in advance, waiting for false-event- flag which will be presented to the print media as a true fact.
The American press has never respected the mandate left by the Founding Fathers that they had delivered and protected with the First Amendment. But until the criminal Clinton regime, did not allow only SIX/6 monopolies to concentrate so much in their hands 90% of the US media, sometimes the truth still came out. But not anymore. The US media is unable to report even the most compelling facts of our time, those that could lead to the destruction of life on earth. Instead, journalists worry about defending their jobs and reporting false news, in the interests of the ruling elites.
Currently, Russia, Syria and Iran are preparing to liberate the last Syrian province that is still in the hands of Washington's puppet army: Al Qaeda, Al Nursa e ISIS.Washington sent US troops who hid among the terrorists Washington had sent to overthrow Syria, thinking that the American presence would dissuade the Russian-Syrians from attacking the terrorists. Once again, Washington took advantage of Putin's hesitation to complicate his life.
It appears that Washington has succeeded in delaying the final liberation of Syria from US-backed terrorists, the Russian army anyway, if not the Russian government, they understand that at this late stage of the game, Russia cannot hold back any further without risking being inundated with further provocations, as the price of his correctness. This is why a Russian navy is stationed off the coast of Syria, equipped with new Russian hypersonic missiles against which the United States has no defense. If it comes to a conflict, it will only be the Russian government that will be able to decide whether any US ships should still remain afloat.
The Russian military also has new planes – far superior to the Americans' rubbish – armed with hypersonic missiles, thus a showdown between Russia and Washington in Syria would mean a humiliating military defeat for Washington.
This awareness makes the Russian government hesitant to exert its military force in Syria. The Russian government knows that there are crazy people in Washington and that, a few insane neo-cons believe in the exceptionalism and indispensability of the USA , convinced of American unilateralism. The Russians are aware that Trump, although he had wanted to reduce tensions, could not withstand the attack of the military-security complex and that perhaps to "save America's honor" he could press the button.
This, I think, it may be the reason why the liberation of Idlib province has not started. This part of Syria could be left in the hands of Washington to avoid the end of the world.
On the other hand, the Russian military and nationalists are tired of the insults and sterile military provocations of Washington and the United Kingdom. They are losing patience waiting to defend Russia's honor. They understand well that accepting a provocation, leads to having to accept another one immediately afterwards and in the end Russia will be forced to respond. Putin was weakened by wasting time, giving an advantage to Washington's fifth column working inside Russia — made up of Washington-trained neoliberal economists. It is a mystery to everyone why Putin still trusts these American agents in fact who intend to ruin both him and Russia.
In other words, the situation in Syria is dangerous, and the US media doesn't care about it except to use it as a propaganda opportunity to blame Russia for chemical attacks and civilian deaths. Effectively, the only interest of the US media is to be the first to report on Syria's use of chemical weapons to liberate the province of Idlib. In other words, the US media is eager to push the world towards one Third World War.
Another extraordinary failure of the American media is to talk about Israel. The Israeli Zionists committed genocide against the Palestinians, from whom they stole a country in broad daylight, without there having been any concrete protest on the part of the Great Western Moral World or any other party for many decades. Today the remnants of Palestine are almost all in refugee camps, out of the country, in that concentration camp that is the Gaza Ghetto.
As for NPR, the CNN, the NY Times, or the CIA's Washington Post, There is no crime by Israel against humanity, so much so that President Trump's National Security Advisor, a neoconservative, recently declared that the US government will use all its strength to protect every American and every Israeli accused of war criminals before the International Criminal Court.
In other words, Trump's national security advisor said that Americans and Israelis are above the law Washington applies to everyone else. See for example: https://truthout.org/articles/john-bolton-escalates-blackmail-to-shield-us-war-criminals/
At that time, what do we have? We have the US media that is comfortable with no one reporting Israel's crimes against humanity , because denouncing them would be anti-Semitism and denial of the Holocaust.
The US media is not concerned about the personal interest that the security/military complex is pursuing with Russiagate, because investigating this affair could distract them from their efforts to accuse Trump of being a Russian agent.
To be honest, actually, it's all the Western media that has no interest in the dangerous conflict that the West has gratuitously orchestrated against Russia, because any article that talked about it could scare people to death and make them understand that the path the media is taking us down is the one that is threatening the life of the planet.
