O please. The United States government persecutes Edward Snowden and Julian Assange precisely because they release information which is truthful.
Not only that, but do I really need to provide a list of US government sponsored false flags and pretexts based on lies? Is there any way I can post that infamous image of Colin Powell at the UN? And it's not as if that was the first or the last time that something like *that* happened.
Perhaps it’s just me but our elites seem to have reached a level of desperation that I cannot recall in my 70 years. Not only are their lies and propaganda more blatant, but now they are accompanied with demands for cancelling, censoring, or de-platforming anyone who chooses to challenge them. Thanks to independent media and services like Substack this type of intimidation no longer works.
And, slightly off topic, but I can’t help remark that today’s joint declaration by Xi and Putin at the opening of the Olympics marks a major geopolitical milestone. The de facto alliance of these two Eurasian giants effectively spells the end of US unipolar hegemony. The US “rules based order” is officially over. It will take time for the arrogance of US leaders to catch up with this fact, so we can expect increasing elite desperation in the months and years ahead.
I saw this Caitlin Johnstone tweet (@caitoz) on Consortium News: "I'm declassifying evidence that Nigeria is planning a false flag operation in Switzerland. Are you ready? Here it is: Nigeria is planning a false flag operation in Switzerland. The evidence is me asserting it. If you doubt this evidence, you're a propagandist for Nigeria."
Or Goering, a man who offers us a wealth of unmatched practical experience that we should make use of:
"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."
"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Twitter has you covered. Poor Ned has been ratio'd quite badly.
The entire US southwest was acquired after a war we started with Mexico based on a false flag.

That exchange between Ned Price and the AP reporter was priceless, no pun intended.
Agree! I love the reporter saying “You’re in Alex Jones territory.”
McCarthyism, plain and simple.
