I always find these little videos kind of weird. I mean, the production values are modern, but the approach feels very old fashioned in two main ways, one good and one not so great.
On one hand, they feel old fashioned in the urgency with which the guy is speaking, this sort of breathless aren’t-the-authorities-wonderful tone that makes me think 50s or WW II newsreels, along with the highly dramatic, martial soundtrack, some of the high-tension symbolism like the menacing eagle and so on. It just oozes old-style propaganda, making it hard for me to take the whole thing seriously.
On the other hand, as propaganda or advertising goes it feels old fashioned in that it goes around talking about facts, where modern Western stuff generally does away with all that stuff in favour of pure gut appeals to instincts, generally done in a relatively tacit way.
It seems to me very educational if it is to communicate one of the great achievements of the summit in Ufa. To me style, modern or ancient, I do not care, I care about what is the message and make it clear.
Thank you very much Alena.
PS: Why collaborators with transcripts and sitreps always put themselves a surname pseudonym “Anglo”?. Albeit fictional, I would prefer a Russian name if they are Russians, as well also learn new words in Russian as Scarecrow = Chuchelo! so funny…Me encanta!
Part of what you may find disturbing is the sentence intonation in Russian. Were you to use that inonation speaking Emglish it would sound a bit haughty, glib, duplicitous or dishonest. I am told that the normal intonation in English likewise sounds equally glib and dishonest to native Russian speakers.
I wonder sometimes how much hidden effect that might have had on international relations.
Interesting. That could be part of it, although I don’t get the same impression from some of the other Russian-speaking videos I’ve seen around here, like with Putin or Russian economists or what.
See, this is how Western MSM operates (to incredible success, unfortunately), to quote Glenn Greenwald:
Look at what the New York Times, yet again, has done. Isn’t it amazing? All anyone in government has to do is whisper something in its journalists’ ears, demand anonymity for it, and instruct them to print it. Then they obey. Then other journalists treat it as Truth. Then it becomes fact, all over the world. This is the same process that enabled the New York Times, more than any other media outlet, to sell the Iraq War to the American public, and they’re using exactly the same methods to this day. But it’s not just their shoddy journalism that drives this but the mentality of other “journalists” who instantly equate anonymous official claims as fact.
alan, thanks for the link. At some point it becomes almost funny what supposed journalists will write.
I especially get a kick out of the portrayal of ISIS. Armies the world over need training and huge budgets to back them up. Once in action they require a continuous supply line. Not ISIS! ISIS was apparently born out of the sand of the desert, didn’t even need an entrance point to Syria or Iraq. They just appeared in the desert. And they need no medical treatment or reinforcements. And they are supermen, unbeatable.
Penelope, The Islamic State Army is quite different from the garrison forces maintained by most states. These are Urban Guerrilla forces made up of many small dispersed units who only converge for major attacks. They still need major logistic support but nothing resembling the needs of forces who are concentrated in bases and move as large units. The large areas they control in Syria and Iraq supply their basic needs while their oil sales and other state revenue gathering supplies hard cash for weapons and other supplies.
They have their own medical corps, some foreign volunteers have been reported on in MSM news, and hospitals in cities and large towns they control just as any other State. The history of their beginning in Iraq and their growth is well documented, their planning, prepositioning of intelligence and administrative structures in Syria is also documented.
No force is unbeatable but the IS is a dedicated, structured, extremely well planned and executed movement that has shown again and again that small dedicated forces can defeat much larger and better equipped less motivated conscript forces.
Penelope, we know that Daash has been massively financed by the Saudi, Qatari and Gulf monsters, supplied with arms via Turkey and Jordan (DW TV recently followed convoys of trucks from Turkey, probably from NATO bases, into Syria, to the rest of the Western ‘Free Press’s’ utter disinterest)and trained by various Western Special Forces, mostly in Jordan. EVERYTHING the Western MSM says about the death-squad army is either a knowing lie, or some pile of ambulatory filth regurgitating the Groupthink, so that it may keep its well-paid job. Of all the West’s litany of Hitlerite crimes, the destruction of the Arab world, in pursuit of Oded Yinon’s ‘Zionist Plan for the Middle East’ is possibly the worst.
Chomsky and Herman outlined the reality of the Western MSM as a propaganda system for the Right 25 years ago in ‘Manufacturing Consent’. They worked from understandings outlined by other researchers like Alex Carey, and, of course, from simple commonsense and observation.
Thirty years ago you understood that the MSM was completely controlled by Rightwing capitalists, so reflected their worldview, particularly in editorials etc. There was, however, still some attempt to present alternative points of view, even, vestigially, in the Murdoch cancer. However, in the years since, as neo-liberal capitalism and globalisation tightened their death-grip on humanity, the MSM has become rankly propagandistic, and the Murdoch cancer has led the way into such extremes hate and fear-mongering, vilification, lying, partisanship and bigotry that it puts Die Sturmer to shame. A sick, evil and self-destructive economy will have a sick, evil and self-destructive MSM, and that is certainly true these days. And journalists know that if they do not toe the Party Line of the evil psychopath Murdoch, one of the most villainous human beings of recent history, they have no future in his, or any other, MSM apparatus.
In an exclusive interview with Sputnik, Panamanian journalist and sociologist Marco A. Gandásegui Hijo described the move as an encounter between a train engine and a bicycle.
“The United States is plotting a regime change in Cuba which, for its part, is trying to reopen the trade channels Washington sealed more than half a century ago. In any case, there is a great difference between these two objectives,” Marco said.
“The US financial oligarchy managed to convince all other elements of the American ruling class that the Cuban Revolution would not collapse even without the Soviet help that ended late last century… The Americans also realized the need for an invasion, not military but economic and financial, so that they can use the money they invest in Cuba to destabilize the Revolution,” he noted.
“For Cuba this is the moment of truth… The revolution will survive only if it learns to coexist with the capitalist world that surrounds it. Diplomacy-size, Cuba managed to become part of Latin America. It maintains diplomatic ties with Western Europe, Canada, it has built an effectively working relationship with China and Russia.”
“Whether it will manage to meet the Americans halfway is a big question though. The Cubans know that the Americans do not mean well. The Cubans could learn from the not-so-distant past and build a strategy that will help them avoid the mistakes Russia made [during its transition to capitalism] and the radicalism of the Chinese. Besides, China and Russia are countries of a continental scale, while Cuba is an island of about 12 million people…”
In his June 30 letter to Cuban leader Raul Castro, US President Barack Obama pledged to maintain high-level relations with Havana, based on mutual respect, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs and respect for each other’s territorial integrity.
“Well, paper can’t blush, can it? The Cubans know full well that the Americans want to destabilize the Revolution by making them sell out for money – a sort of a Plan B after the debacle of 1959… As for the Cubans, they now have a historic chance to capitalize of the situation and establish an international, even a global network of economic and political ties in order to keep their identity and survive,” Marco Gandásegui Hijo said in an exclusive interview with Sputnik.
The US trade embargo on Cuba will not be lifted until Havana relaxes its human rights policies and releases at least some high-profile prisoners, former US National Security Council senior official Raymond Tanter told Sputnik.
In other words, the same zionazi/nazi gay chickenshit duplicitous crap.
Please watch the You Tube video:” Robert Naeslund’s the Human Brain Project” where he gives a descriptive talk about the now global, US military free use of criminally secret insertions of interactive brain chips by any authoritarian governments to eliminate dissent. Global debate needed.
As a Brazilian, I report to you that is in the final phase the plan for the ‘impeachment’ of our president – socialist, pro-BRICS. Unfortunately my country is (with foreign aid and we already know where it comes from) becoming a right-wing caricature, and the anti-Russian propaganda is heavy in the media (although, surprisingly, the comments of in the news are almost always pro Russia).
Thus, our country is not reliable for a long-term alliance.
Ps: Recently were discovered huge oil deposits in our coast, and it was after this that the right wing plague started (including a “spontaneous” protest where THOUSANDS of people marched in the streets because an increase of $ 0.20 in the bus passages prices) and the traditional “visits” of USA members, including the military, begins.
Now there are openly talks about give the right to explore that oil to Yankee companies.
Unfortunately regime change in Brazil is certain, and near. Then it will either leave BRICS, or become a sabotaging nuisance, under the stooge regime imposed by Mordor-on-the-Potomac. The Brazilian parasite class is as murderously ruthless and slavishly loyal to Mordor as the rest of Latin America’s hereditary blood-suckers.
Could someone please tell me why the Jewish Star of David is on the Chinese yuan? I also read somewhere that Rothschild owns majority shares in the Russian Central Bank!?
I am hoping that BRICS is a real resistance to the NWO (New World Order), but some of the more astute observers say it is a shell game, part of the Marxist and Hegelian Dialectic. I am having a lively debate with famous “Pat” at the infamous Darkmoon site regarding BRICS here:

US Prepares Regime Change in Cuba – Panamanian Journalist

US Embargo Stays Until Cuba Releases Prisoners, Improves Rights

You can bet your bottom dollar that the Americans are chewing the rug and soiling their size XXXL panties about this development.
Americans simply will never give up their Dollar Dictatorship over the world peacefully.
America’s dollar domination has to be broken–with extreme prejudice.
That is the only language that the Americans understand.

Now there are openly talks about give the right to explore that oil to Yankee companies.
It is always about oil and gas that regime change is planned.
It was in Vietnam, Syria, Iraq, Libya and Ukraine (especially, Crimea).
It is also why we have chaos in Nigeria and S.Sudan.
Brazil, indeed, is very fragile. If they topple the President, Brazil will be in the full clutches of the devil.
She needs to bring in Cuban and Russian experts to help stabilize the upheaval.
She keeps playing with Obama as if he hasn’t already signed the EO to get rid of her.
All that oil corruption scandal can be reversed if she earmarks the wealth for social development and gets very transparent.
And she should bring in a consortium of China, Russia and US Oil companies. They all know how to work together. That would defuse the pressure.
Unfortunately regime change in Brazil is certain, and near. Then it will either leave BRICS, or become a sabotaging nuisance, under the stooge regime imposed by Mordor-on-the-Potomac.
