“Psyops personnel, soldiers, and officers, have been working in CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta through our program ‘Training With Industry,’” Major Thomas Collins of the U.S. Army Information Service said in a telephone interview on February 18, 2000. Collins asserted, “They worked as regular employees of CNN. Conceivably, they would have worked on stories during the Kosovo war. They helped in the production of news.”
CNN had hosted a total of five interns from U.S. Army Psyops, two in television, two in radio, and one in satellite operations. The military/CNN personnel belonged to the airmobile Fourth Psychological Operations Group stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. One of the main tasks of this group of almost 1,200 soldiers and officers is to spread “selected information.” The propaganda group was involved in the Gulf War, the war in Bosnia, and the crisis in Kosovo.
I don’t have any view one way or the other about Abraham Lincoln, but DiLorenzo’s character assassination of Abraham Lincoln may not be the great revelation that some are claiming. When reading the Amazon reviews of a book I tend to go first to the 1-star reviews (since presumably half of the 5-star reviews are always by sockpuppets of the publisher). In this case I recommend reading the somewhat lengthy 1-star review by David Ahlstrom “Professor – The Chinese University of Hong Kong”, after which you might be less inclined to regard DiLorenzo’s historical work as reliable.
David, I frequently agree with your opinions on this site, but I couldn’t disagree with you more on this one.
Lincoln saved the Federal Union from the machinations of the British Empire intent on dividing and conquering the American experiment in Republican form of government, acting through its allies the Southern oligarchical slave owning elites who were in an economic alliance with the British empire (loved exporting that raw cotton produced by slave labor, but hated those tariffs that helped turn the US into a self sufficient industrial power capable of challenging British world hegemony). It is no coincidence that the bastion of the false “states rights” doctrine then, and today, was and is the Confederacy and its modern proponents that control the Republic party. The epitome of that feudal oligarchy was the slave owning, slave child-raping Jefferson who fought Washington and Hamilton tooth and nail with his flowery talk about democracy (just like our neo-cons today) but vile actions (just like our neo-cons today); he didn’t even free is all of his own flesh and blood Hemming children from bondage at his death. (See Robert Parry excellent article at https://consortiumnews.com/2014/07/04/thomas-jefferson-americas-founding-sociopath/ )
It is also interesting that the major European power that supported the Federal government was none other than Russia, which sent its fleets to NYC and San Francisco harbor with sealed orders to fight with the Union of the UK and FR recognized the CSA. (See Webster Tarpley’s talk: http://tarpley.net/2013/10/25/tarpleys-national-press-club-lecture-on-russian-fleets-of-1863-to-air-this-weekend-on-c-span3/ ) Remember this was just a few years after the Anglo-French alliance tried to seize Crimea. Also recall French efforts to destroy the Mexican republic as well by putting the Hapsburg pretender Maximilian on the “throne” of Mexico in 1861 when the US was distracted by the Civil War (just as the modern AZ empire uses Ukraine and the soon be be color revolutions in the Caucasus and Central Asia moves to weaken Russia).
Just like today’s AAZ empire’s war against Russia, the Civil War was just a part of the “full spectrum dominance” of the original Anglo Empire and its allies wars against humanity, trying to simultaneously destroy both the new world republics and its Eurasian competitor Russia. It failed in the 1860’s with its Southern oligarchical allies, but unfortunately succeeded by co-opting the Northern elite with dreams of Empire around 1900, and the Republic has been gone since then (1913’s Federal Reserve Act being the death knell).
You linked to Lew Rockwell, who while I like some of his stuff is at his core a modern successor of the states righters and free trade laissez faire advocates, which serves the AAZ elitists goals vs. the nation building Hamiltonian “American System of Economics” inspired policies followed by the likes of Russia and China today. I can’t help but note that the books about Lincoln by DiLorenzo linked on that site are but more modern AAZ disinformation propaganda intent on destroying any vestiges of truth about the man who saved the former republic known as the United States from the British Empire.
David, you join those who assassinated Lincoln 150 years ago, and those who would assasinate his extraordinary anti-Empire record today?? Why?? Whose side are you on?? Evidently not Alexander II’s!!!! Otherwise, anononymous poster issued the required historical correction of your vile eruption.
I’m in South America and busy as a bee, but I had to go online and check into my favorite site, and couldn’t let that posting go without saying something.
At least a couple of dozen U.S. presidents were quietly assassinated, like Zachary Taylor for one, so it is the rare president (Lincoln, Kennedy, Garfield, McKinley and almost Jackson) who were particularly obnoxious to the “1%”, who merited a bullet in public to send a loud and clear message. Lincoln was one of those truly rare fearless patriots. Several Russian Tsars were also quietly disposed of, except Alexander II, who earned a bombthrower for a particularly gruesome death. He was also a fearless patriot. Apparently his support of the United States did not go unpunished. Politics is worse than mafia wars. The Godfather film is really about the Kennedy family and how they were trying to go legit. You just can’t appreciate the depth and breadth of Lincoln’s courage and wisdom and strength in any other context. His accomplishments really are almost superhuman.
To say that the US is losing the information battle is sheer deception. The propaganda apparatus is running at full steam, has been so since the end of WWII, not to mention the last 24 years of the fall of the USSR.
A first hand experience, since most of the people here wonder how was it that Ukraine became so russophobic, in apparently such a short time, less than a generation’s time.
My first visit to Ukraine was sort of awkward, business was not coming as hoped.
So the hotels had cable but I wanted to see what was on the local media. Of course, all sort of reality shows, based on US, or Western programs. Interesting that the 1st. Channel had an all music video programming, and it was fine. Excellent singers and groups, of course the sexy Ukrainian and Russian women. over 98 % of the lyrics of the songs were in Russian. I heard only a couple of songs in the Ukrainian language.
Fast forward four months later, return trip to see if the business would gel.
Surprise, surprise, that Video channel that openned my ears and eyes to another culture, and a different way of making music, of expressing feelings, had turned into a clone of MTV, or VH1.
The local artists were relegated to a few hours in the day.
It is no wonder that when you ask an Ukrainian who their favorite song is, they will reply with a Western title.
Western Propaganda pushes the supposed Western values through the most easily accesible source for the young persons, the target audience. Music and Films are the images of Western or American lifestyle, The proverbial American Way of Life.
I don’t know if Ukrainians are gullible or naive, but they have swallowed it up hook, line and sinker.
The task and the modus operandi is the same for most of the countries that are being colonized, can see in Afghanistan how they copied the Singing contests, so abundant in the West.
The illusion that through entertainment a person will make his life’s fortune is a great illusion that
the West has employed with great success. People abandon their own rich culture, in exchange for worthless mirrors and beads. The political arena is just another Sales Point, where the millions granted to NGO’s just create another class of piranhas that are willing to sacrifice their own, in exchange for those mirrors and beads.
That has been the way of doing business since the first Europeans set foot in the Americas, and it has been profitable, and it works on all continents.
So, you are claiming, that Ukrainian russophobia is due to swiching from Serebro to Taylor Swift? Nothing to do with Russian actions to protect their sphere of influence?
Acculturation explains the process of cultural change and psychological change that results following meeting between cultures.[1] The effects of acculturation can be seen at multiple levels in both interacting cultures. At the group level, acculturation often results in changes to culture, customs, and social institutions. Noticeable group level effects of acculturation often include changes in food, clothing, and language. At the individual level, differences in the way individuals acculturate have been shown to be associated not just with changes in daily behavior, but with numerous measures of psychological and physical well-being. As enculturation is used to describe the process of first-culture learning, acculturation can be thought of as second-culture learning.
If you are want to compare TS, with Serebro you will see the difference. TS represents the Western Pop culture, a sharp businesswoman, seeking the highest profit for her product.
Serebro, I just remember their video of “Mama Lover”, and the great charisma of their lead singer, Russia Rules!! was her final comment on the video.
I would not call it Ukrainian Russophobia, I would characterize that as a Galichan disease that has infected the Ukrainain soul, and even the word Ukrainian I would relate only to the Cossack Zaporizhye Sich. The Galichans have hijacked what is this somewhat ethnic figure, and this is what they accept as a representation of that historical heritage:
The point of my post is that acculturation is one of the turns of the nut that tightens the control over a group of people. It ensures that they identify with a foreign notion of life, that they have accepted as superior to their own the Image of the West, and have forgotten to a large extent the roots of their language, history, ethnicity, traditions, even religion.
They have been torn apart from the common Slavic culture they share not only with Russia, but with Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Serbs, etc. And they accept it.
My conversations with Ukrainian people, I do hold conversations with Ukrainians everyday,
show that they have no idea of what is going on around them, sure life is getting tough, but they accept their governments actions. Very slowly they start to complain that life is getting tough, some even complain that it is not easy, but they are sitting on their hands, and quote Cosmo,
the NYT, and they will quote you Taylor Swift’s latest… product.
Your Gallup poll was taken in summer of last year, nice try.
You should know that “U- krainian” professionals are leaving the country in droves, if you are such a fan of statistics. And where do they seek employment? That hated Russland.
Yes, Galichans have no historical memory, nor short term memory.
I am bored with you, educate yourself, Poka.
“The propaganda apparatus is running at full steam,”
Excellent news as this will catalyse and facilitate growing dissonance between perception and “reality”, thereby increasing opportunities for lateral challenge.
If you are minded to engage in the chimera of “voting in a Presidential election”, I would suggest that voting for Ms. Clinton would also be of utility as outlined above.
i don’t understand Mr. Kerry. Western media also use english language to reach audience – major part of 7+ bilion people. There is no point to fight for 150 mil. russians. Russians know the situation around them better than any reporters. RT entered in western blood line and there is no way west can win except phisically removing RT from air.
I don’t think that would help. RT is deniable.
No RT and they’d have to start denying stories in media which are much harder to tar withthe Putin stamp.
LIVE NOWStarted on Apr 16, 2015Russian President Vladimir Putin holds 13th annual ‘Direct Line’ Q&A session in Moscow April 16.
During the session, Putin will take questions from Russian residents from across the country.
Those wanting to ask Putin a question will have an opportunity to contact the president via Facebook and local social networks, as well as by SMS, MMS and telephone.
Putin’s ‘direct lines’ have become a well-established tradition throughout the years of his presidency since 2001.
When asked of the status of foreign fighters in Donbass, they claimed that there were many people driven to the Novorussiyan cause by conviction. Jackhammer and Texas said that they knew of Serbians, Columbians, Brazilians, French, some Germans, Swedes and other nationalities, and ominously warned that “more are coming.”
In the past, the Natoists have said NATO’s long-running project to build a missile defense shield in Europe aimed to deter an attack from Iran rather than from Russia.
On Thursday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said such assertions were a lie.
“Today it is clear that the missile threat from Tehran that the U.S. and other countries of the alliance invented was a bluff,” Mr. Shoigu said.
From the pro-American newspapers The Moscow Times
*
Evoking Cold War-style rhetoric, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said a drive by the United States and its allies to bring Kiev closer to the West was a threat to Moscow and had forced it to react.
*
However the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu did not once mentioned “west” every time he pointed his words at the USA and her vassals.
*
“The United States and its allies have crossed all possible lines in their drive to bring Kiev into their orbit. That could not have failed to trigger our reaction,”
“Aiming at complete dominance, Washington stopped taking into account the interests of other countries and respect international law.”
The only nation on the planet that has used Nuclear Weapons, and which used Uranium charged artillery ammunition in Iraq, is accusing Russia, and Putin, of dangerously threatening to use Nuclear Weapons. The editorial in the NYT would do credit to Orwell’s description of “doublespeak.” The NYT editorial is a venomous, frothing at the mouth, diatribe that would make Hitler’s propaganda chief, Goebbles, jealous with admiration. This is not original; I read it on the Saker website; How dare the Russians put their country so near American military bases!
Read it and see for yourself. This is the work of the major propaganda rag of the Democrat gang. The NYT supports their Hollywood Obomber. They also support the plastic (and annointed) Hilary Clinton for the position of -Head Office Manager- for the Oligarchs, for 2016, and beyond. The Democrat gang are the moral home of the remnants of the American political Left. Amazingly, in the United States, the political Right are underemployed. How do you run to the right of war criminals such as Hilary Clinton, and Hollywood Obomber, and union busters such as Rahm Emanuel and Bill Clinton?
The Republican gang politicians have been restricted to uttering an occassional, “Do it again,” We want more war,” “Kill them harder,” and my favorite, “Waterboard more often.”
Within the United States, a nation that has lost its independence, along with its Republic, there is no opposition. However, Public Opinion polls do show that the American people detest their politicians. The percentage of citizens who vote continues to decline. Some figures show that fewer than 50% of American adults vote, and that figure declines to as few as 10% in the more important Primary eloections. There is no opposition, but the tinder is there.
Actually, there is much good in the NYT editorial. Imagine, if you will, if they wrote an essay praising Vladimir Putin, or the Russian government. Then we would have real cause to worry.
Bring it on! We can take it! We have our VISION. We have not yet begun to fight; but we will.
I don’t know about RT television cuz I don’t have an idiot-box, but RT online is not very different than mainstream news. Same lies– like US is trying to destroy ISIS. Complete omission of the fact that ISIS is a project of US & its allies, is still being trained and supplied by US.
Even Crosstalk’s Peter Lavelle always finds that US foreign policy is “confused” or “mistaken” or “doesn’t understand the Ukraine”. I don’t think he has even acknowledged the US was behind the coup in Ukraine. THIS is the news service that is persuading people that MSM lies to them?!
RT’s comments used to allow online visitors to educate each other; It was really great; RT’s newscoverage was always corrected by the internet users. So RT fixed that by putting in a filter that allows nothing substantive to get through. Now it’s just a lot of imbecilic one-liners.
Who is BEHIND RT? How could this possibly be in Russia’s interest? PressTV does a much better job.
Agree with this response to Penelope. RT seems rather mainstream compared to some blogs, which do not have government funding and can be as undiplomatic as they wish. RT wants to keep its presence in USA and is giving no grounds to be banned “legally.” Sec State Kerry may dream up something nefarious, but then RT could sue.
Just happens today 16th at willyloman site this link in long article about how the usual band of treasonous legislators usa is out to lock down/eliminate bloggers!
Like in uke, maybe, & soon?
It was a full 19 minutes before Wahl resigned. Inside the offices of the Foreign Policy Initiative, a neoconservative think tank in Washington D.C., a staffer logged on to the group’s Twitter account to announce the following:
“#WordOnTheStreet says that something big might happen on RT in about 20-25 minutes.”
Then, at 5:16, exactly 10 minutes before Wahl would quit on air, FPI tweeted:
Up until two minutes before Wahl’s resignation, FPI took to Twitter again to urge its followers to tune in to RT.
And finally, at 5:26 p.m., at the very moment Wahl quit, FPI’s Twitter account broke the news: “RT Anchor RESIGNS ON AIR. She ‘cannot be part of a network that whitewashes the actions of Putin.’ ”
Wednesday, April 15, 2015
amazing timing!
the very day before the big palestine/ICC announcement.
http://www.therealistreport.com/2015/04/israel-pushes-to-have-anti-semitism.html
Israel pushes to have “anti-Semitism” recognized as international crime
Earlier this year, at the behest of the Jewish state of Israel, the organized international Jewish community, and traitorous politicians working for the Jews in the West, the United Nations held an informal plenary session on the alleged “rising tide of anti-Semitism” around the world.
Of course, all respectable mainstream politicians, journalists, and public policy makers agreed that “anti-Semitism” must not be tolerated anywhere in the world, that it should be immediately condemned, and that “anti-Semites” should be ostracized, shunned, and even criminally prosecuted for “hate crimes” and “anti-Semitic speech.”
You always read and judge a book by the 1-stars reviews on Amazon.com??? This book by Thomas DiLorenzo got 4.0 out of 5.0 with 543 reviews! All of those 5-star reviews “sockpuppets of the publisher”???
How about the words from one Walter E. Williams (is he a “sockpuppet of the publisher”?!?):
“Today’s federal government is considerably at odds with that envisioned by the framers of the Constitution. Thomas J. DiLorenzo gives an account of how this came about in The Real Lincoln.”
Or Donald Livingston, professor of philosophy, Emory University:
“A peacefully negotiated secession was the best way to handle all the problems facing America in 1860. A war of coercion was Lincoln’s creation. It sometimes takes a century of more to bring an important historical event into perspective. This study does just that and leaves the reader asking, ‘Why didn’t we know this before?’ ”
Abraham Lincoln expanded the illegal powers of the U.S. Federal government above and beyond what was originally intended in the U.S. Constitution. All at the costs and lives from the subjugation of the Southern States. Look at the United States today: The 50 States are all now “sockpuppets” (to use your phrase) to the U.S. Federal government.
This issue with who Lincoln really was and what he really did is important even as it pertains to this particular post on Ms. Wahl’s blatant lies about RT. Because Abraham Lincoln is esteemed today mainly due to the fact that the Lamestream Publishing Media promotes a certain “narrative” aka LIEs about him that everyone spouts and repeats over and over again. Like the stories about George Washington.
I suggest you and all those commenting here do some more online research before closing the door on this Lincoln “narrative”.
Wrong. The US civil war was started in Kansas when John Brown massacred southern sodbusters with machetes. It was a brutal act deliberately designed to set a civil war into motion. Just like the Odessa Massacre touched off the Ukraine war. Maybe you should read up on John Brown.
After you have read all that, argue with me again about how great Abraham Lincoln is!
Everything you guys and gals think you know about history, the main salient points and pivotal events, were and are written by the winners who in most of the cases were War Criminals and Psychopaths to the nth degree.
Do the winners write much about secret societies and their goals and methods? Kennedy once dared to mention “secret societies” in a public speech, but no one would accuse him of being a “winner.” Lincoln, on the other hand, kept any talk about secret societies firmly under his big hat while trying to hold the Union together.
LOL, the Wahl zionazi shabbas goy. Funny how she couldn’t name any takers for further employment. I guess she served her delineated purpose. She’ll probably eventually collapse under obesity and the weight of all that heavily applied face paint and be one of those zio-media “could-a-been” stories on mtv, or vice, in a few years (btw, the more face pain t- make-up – on a person, the less honest the person is – almost a scientific natural law.) ;D
The RT program in describing the neocon scum she worked with (I’ve already forgotten the freak’s name) failed to mention that besides being anti-Russian and a neocon, the freak is zionist and gay. Seems all four of those attributes seem to coalesce together in a very consistent manner, in the critters the ZPC/NWO employs.
It must be that “social darwinism” philosophical stance the things constantly worship, where literally butt rape mentality is the predominant motivation that determines all human interactions.
John Kerry is a perjurer. As RT’s anchor stated, Mr. Kerry is a member of the federal agency called the Broadcasting Board of Governors that spreads “news” in numerous (it’s website says 61) foreign languages worldwide, including Russian, a fact which Kerry directly lied about.
To demonstrate who controls its place in the AZ empire’s war, a review of the BBG’s website includes a list of the 8 governors (one seat vacant) that reveals a rather interesting factoid: an ethnic-religious tribal group that is about 3% of the US population forms the majority of the board, with Mr. Kerry himself being one of them. Care to guess what that tribal group may be?
And you thought John Forbes Kerry was a Boston Catholic! See this:
He found out 10 years ago about a Jewish grandfather, did he? what does that prove? absolutely nothing. If it had been a black grandfather, would that suddenly make him black? and ghetto black at that?
Insofar as he is a neocon zionist, he managed to achieve that without even knowing about that grandfather, so that’s to likely to the the cause, is it? therefore it is just as irrelevant as if he’d found the old guy was blind in one eye or had a toe missing.
You’d be better off continuing with proving your opening contention that “he is a perjurer” by explaining what he lied about.
John Kerry [aka Kahn] “says” he only discovered his true heritage about 10 yrs ago. Un Hunh. Of course we can believe a cosistently proven LIAR.
The AZ were grooming him from the very beginning. From the time of his “bogus” anti Vietnam war theatrics. The only more overt warmonger besides him is Bomb Iran McCain. I’m not sure which one of them lies more.
Hahahahahahahahaahahha….
We must spread this as widely as possible. Western desperation is becoming more and more cartoonish.
When that host asked her: “Who is actually talking to you that we can’t see?” I bet he meant about something like this:
http://www.projectcensored.org/3-us-armys-psychological-operations-personnel-worked-at-cnn/
“Psyops personnel, soldiers, and officers, have been working in CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta through our program ‘Training With Industry,’” Major Thomas Collins of the U.S. Army Information Service said in a telephone interview on February 18, 2000.

One of the main tasks of this group of almost 1,200 soldiers and officers is to spread “selected information.” The propaganda group was involved in the Gulf War, the war in Bosnia, and the crisis in Kosovo.
‘Nuff said.
The beauty is that as Russia/Brics grow stronger, the Empire’s propaganda becomes ever more impotent.
You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Abraham Lincoln
Why a wise president in US always ended killed !?!?
why? well, I have a hedge fence. if one branch overgrows I clip it.
Your beloved Lincoln is just another Yankee puppet whose main job was to protect the 1% like George Washington before and George Bushes after.

It is no surprise, therefore, that the UK and France armed the South, almost to the point of recognizing the CSA and almost coming to war with threatened delivery of warships to the CS navy.

I would not call it Ukrainian Russophobia, I would characterize that as a Galichan disease that has infected the Ukrainain soul, and even the word Ukrainian I would relate only to the Cossack Zaporizhye Sich. The Galichans have hijacked what is this somewhat ethnic figure, and this is what they accept as a representation of that historical heritage:

interesting, no?
The point of my post is that acculturation is one of the turns of the nut that tightens the control over a group of people. It ensures that they identify with a foreign notion of life, that they have accepted as superior to their own the Image of the West, and have forgotten to a large extent the roots of their language, history, ethnicity, traditions, even religion.
They have been torn apart from the common Slavic culture they share not only with Russia, but with Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Serbs, etc. And they accept it.
My conversations with Ukrainian people, I do hold conversations with Ukrainians everyday,
show that they have no idea of what is going on around them, sure life is getting tough, but they accept their governments actions. Very slowly they start to complain that life is getting tough, some even complain that it is not easy, but they are sitting on their hands, and quote Cosmo,
the NYT, and they will quote you Taylor Swift’s latest… product.
Your Gallup poll was taken in summer of last year, nice try.
You should know that “U- krainian” professionals are leaving the country in droves, if you are such a fan of statistics. And where do they seek employment? That hated Russland.
Yes, Galichans have no historical memory, nor short term memory.
I am bored with you, educate yourself, Poka.
“The propaganda apparatus is running at full steam,”
Excellent news as this will catalyse and facilitate growing dissonance between perception and “reality”, thereby increasing opportunities for lateral challenge.
If you are minded to engage in the chimera of “voting in a Presidential election”, I would suggest that voting for Ms. Clinton would also be of utility as outlined above.
“it works on all continents.”
Perhaps data would disprove your assertion?
History, and life experiences backup reality. Data, you can conjure up to create whatever you want.
@Aztlan Thanks for your GREAT posts.

thank you…what nationality is that name ? Greek ?
if you cannot attack the message, then attack the messenger.
i don’t understand Mr. Kerry. Western media also use english language to reach audience – major part of 7+ bilion people. There is no point to fight for 150 mil. russians. Russians know the situation around them better than any reporters. RT entered in western blood line and there is no way west can win except phisically removing RT from air.
In the end they will block RT some way or another, you can bet on it.
just like they did with Press TV in UK….
ON SOME ‘TECHNICALITY’.
I don’t think that would help. RT is deniable.
No RT and they’d have to start denying stories in media which are much harder to tar withthe Putin stamp.
LIVE NOWStarted on Apr 16, 2015Russian President Vladimir Putin holds 13th annual ‘Direct Line’ Q&A session in Moscow April 16.
During the session, Putin will take questions from Russian residents from across the country.
Those wanting to ask Putin a question will have an opportunity to contact the president via Facebook and local social networks, as well as by SMS, MMS and telephone.
Putin’s ‘direct lines’ have become a well-established tradition throughout the years of his presidency since 2001.

At least two Americans, Jackhammer and Texas, are fighting for Novorossiya.
Texas Fighter with pro-Russian rebels (Американцы в Восток)

When asked of the status of foreign fighters in Donbass, they claimed that there were many people driven to the Novorussiyan cause by conviction. Jackhammer and Texas said that they knew of Serbians, Columbians, Brazilians, French, some Germans, Swedes and other nationalities, and ominously warned that “more are coming.”

In the past, the Natoists have said NATO’s long-running project to build a missile defense shield in Europe aimed to deter an attack from Iran rather than from Russia.
On Thursday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said such assertions were a lie.
“Today it is clear that the missile threat from Tehran that the U.S. and other countries of the alliance invented was a bluff,” Mr. Shoigu said.
From the pro-American newspapers The Moscow Times
*
Evoking Cold War-style rhetoric, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said a drive by the United States and its allies to bring Kiev closer to the West was a threat to Moscow and had forced it to react.
*
However the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu did not once mentioned “west” every time he pointed his words at the USA and her vassals.
*
“The United States and its allies have crossed all possible lines in their drive to bring Kiev into their orbit. That could not have failed to trigger our reaction,”
“Aiming at complete dominance, Washington stopped taking into account the interests of other countries and respect international law.”
US propaganda: RT or other news will be around as long as the internet exists so that we can know inconvenient truths such as below
http://news.antiwar.com/2015/04/15/saudi-coalition-preventing-food-ships-from-reaching-yemen/
Looks like the Saudis are made more bold by whimpy resolutions that assign equal blame.
Believe this missive is relevent here, as we are discussing how “media works.”
Anarchist Collective,
Edward Snowden,
George Orwell,
The Ruling Oligarchs, through their main propaganda organ, The New York Times, in their headlined Editorial, blame Russia and Russia’s leaders, and its elected President, Vladimir Putin, for their own imperialist militarism. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/16/opinion/president-vladimir-putins-dangerous-moves.html?ref=todayspaper
The only nation on the planet that has used Nuclear Weapons, and which used Uranium charged artillery ammunition in Iraq, is accusing Russia, and Putin, of dangerously threatening to use Nuclear Weapons. The editorial in the NYT would do credit to Orwell’s description of “doublespeak.” The NYT editorial is a venomous, frothing at the mouth, diatribe that would make Hitler’s propaganda chief, Goebbles, jealous with admiration. This is not original; I read it on the Saker website; How dare the Russians put their country so near American military bases!
Read it and see for yourself. This is the work of the major propaganda rag of the Democrat gang. The NYT supports their Hollywood Obomber. They also support the plastic (and annointed) Hilary Clinton for the position of -Head Office Manager- for the Oligarchs, for 2016, and beyond. The Democrat gang are the moral home of the remnants of the American political Left. Amazingly, in the United States, the political Right are underemployed. How do you run to the right of war criminals such as Hilary Clinton, and Hollywood Obomber, and union busters such as Rahm Emanuel and Bill Clinton?
The Republican gang politicians have been restricted to uttering an occassional, “Do it again,” We want more war,” “Kill them harder,” and my favorite, “Waterboard more often.”
Within the United States, a nation that has lost its independence, along with its Republic, there is no opposition. However, Public Opinion polls do show that the American people detest their politicians. The percentage of citizens who vote continues to decline. Some figures show that fewer than 50% of American adults vote, and that figure declines to as few as 10% in the more important Primary eloections. There is no opposition, but the tinder is there.
Actually, there is much good in the NYT editorial. Imagine, if you will, if they wrote an essay praising Vladimir Putin, or the Russian government. Then we would have real cause to worry.
Bring it on! We can take it! We have our VISION. We have not yet begun to fight; but we will.
I once saw Sandy Koufax get a hit!
For the Democratic Republics! Here and There!

I don’t know about RT television cuz I don’t have an idiot-box, but RT online is not very different than mainstream news. Same lies– like US is trying to destroy ISIS. Complete omission of the fact that ISIS is a project of US & its allies, is still being trained and supplied by US.
Even Crosstalk’s Peter Lavelle always finds that US foreign policy is “confused” or “mistaken” or “doesn’t understand the Ukraine”. I don’t think he has even acknowledged the US was behind the coup in Ukraine. THIS is the news service that is persuading people that MSM lies to them?!
RT’s comments used to allow online visitors to educate each other; It was really great; RT’s newscoverage was always corrected by the internet users. So RT fixed that by putting in a filter that allows nothing substantive to get through. Now it’s just a lot of imbecilic one-liners.
Who is BEHIND RT? How could this possibly be in Russia’s interest? PressTV does a much better job.
RT is treading very carefully. Tread lightly, warned Walter white.
Agree with this response to Penelope. RT seems rather mainstream compared to some blogs, which do not have government funding and can be as undiplomatic as they wish. RT wants to keep its presence in USA and is giving no grounds to be banned “legally.” Sec State Kerry may dream up something nefarious, but then RT could sue.
Peter Lavelle has made no secret about identifying US CIA role in creating Kiev Maidan….I heard him myself.

Exact timeline details of staged media whore on-air resignation:
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/how_cold_war-hungry_neocons_stage_managed_liz_wahls_resignation_20140319
The story began at 5:07 p.m. Eastern time on March 5.
PR From PNAC 2.0
It was a full 19 minutes before Wahl resigned. Inside the offices of the Foreign Policy Initiative, a neoconservative think tank in Washington D.C., a staffer logged on to the group’s Twitter account to announce the following:
“#WordOnTheStreet says that something big might happen on RT in about 20-25 minutes.”
Then, at 5:16, exactly 10 minutes before Wahl would quit on air, FPI tweeted:
“#WordOnTheStreet says you’re really going to want to tune in to RT: http://rt.com/on-air/rt-america-air/ #SomethinBigMayBeGoingDown”
Up until two minutes before Wahl’s resignation, FPI took to Twitter again to urge its followers to tune in to RT.
And finally, at 5:26 p.m., at the very moment Wahl quit, FPI’s Twitter account broke the news: “RT Anchor RESIGNS ON AIR. She ‘cannot be part of a network that whitewashes the actions of Putin.’ ”

amazing timing!
the very day before the big palestine/ICC announcement.
http://www.therealistreport.com/2015/04/israel-pushes-to-have-anti-semitism.html
Israel pushes to have “anti-Semitism” recognized as international crime
Earlier this year, at the behest of the Jewish state of Israel, the organized international Jewish community, and traitorous politicians working for the Jews in the West, the United Nations held an informal plenary session on the alleged “rising tide of anti-Semitism” around the world.
Of course, all respectable mainstream politicians, journalists, and public policy makers agreed that “anti-Semitism” must not be tolerated anywhere in the world, that it should be immediately condemned, and that “anti-Semites” should be ostracized, shunned, and even criminally prosecuted for “hate crimes” and “anti-Semitic speech.”

In reply to Serendipity!
You always read and judge a book by the 1-stars reviews on Amazon.com??? This book by Thomas DiLorenzo got 4.0 out of 5.0 with 543 reviews! All of those 5-star reviews “sockpuppets of the publisher”???
How about the words from one Walter E. Williams (is he a “sockpuppet of the publisher”?!?):
“Today’s federal government is considerably at odds with that envisioned by the framers of the Constitution. Thomas J. DiLorenzo gives an account of how this came about in The Real Lincoln.”
Or Donald Livingston, professor of philosophy, Emory University:
“A peacefully negotiated secession was the best way to handle all the problems facing America in 1860. A war of coercion was Lincoln’s creation. It sometimes takes a century of more to bring an important historical event into perspective. This study does just that and leaves the reader asking, ‘Why didn’t we know this before?’ ”
Abraham Lincoln expanded the illegal powers of the U.S. Federal government above and beyond what was originally intended in the U.S. Constitution. All at the costs and lives from the subjugation of the Southern States. Look at the United States today: The 50 States are all now “sockpuppets” (to use your phrase) to the U.S. Federal government.
This issue with who Lincoln really was and what he really did is important even as it pertains to this particular post on Ms. Wahl’s blatant lies about RT. Because Abraham Lincoln is esteemed today mainly due to the fact that the Lamestream Publishing Media promotes a certain “narrative” aka LIEs about him that everyone spouts and repeats over and over again. Like the stories about George Washington.
I suggest you and all those commenting here do some more online research before closing the door on this Lincoln “narrative”.
Wrong. The US civil war was started in Kansas when John Brown massacred southern sodbusters with machetes. It was a brutal act deliberately designed to set a civil war into motion. Just like the Odessa Massacre touched off the Ukraine war. Maybe you should read up on John Brown.
David…I’m on your side. He was working for the financial sector, same as all Americans before and after him.
By rejecting Rothschild money and issuing interest-free Greenbacks?
And to hammer my point across about Abraham Lincoln . . .
Even Paul Craig Roberts has come out against the “narrative” on Abraham Lincoln:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article41534.htm
And the clincher is the definitive works by David McGowan, who wrote about the infamous Laurel Canyon:
http://www.davesweb.cnchost.com/Lincoln1.html
http://www.davesweb.cnchost.com (the rest of the 11 parts are found at the top of the main page)
After you have read all that, argue with me again about how great Abraham Lincoln is!
Everything you guys and gals think you know about history, the main salient points and pivotal events, were and are written by the winners who in most of the cases were War Criminals and Psychopaths to the nth degree.
Do the winners write much about secret societies and their goals and methods? Kennedy once dared to mention “secret societies” in a public speech, but no one would accuse him of being a “winner.” Lincoln, on the other hand, kept any talk about secret societies firmly under his big hat while trying to hold the Union together.
Dear The Saker,
I watched a bit of this on RT and the thing that struck me was her eyes – they kept rolling up – you could tell she was lying – very unconvincing.
Rgds,
Veritas
Hilarious cross-talk show on Hillary Clinton http://rt.com/shows/crosstalk/249785-us-elections-clinton-rubio/ much better than the one on ukraine poltics
LOL, the Wahl zionazi shabbas goy. Funny how she couldn’t name any takers for further employment. I guess she served her delineated purpose. She’ll probably eventually collapse under obesity and the weight of all that heavily applied face paint and be one of those zio-media “could-a-been” stories on mtv, or vice, in a few years (btw, the more face pain t- make-up – on a person, the less honest the person is – almost a scientific natural law.) ;D
The RT program in describing the neocon scum she worked with (I’ve already forgotten the freak’s name) failed to mention that besides being anti-Russian and a neocon, the freak is zionist and gay. Seems all four of those attributes seem to coalesce together in a very consistent manner, in the critters the ZPC/NWO employs.
It must be that “social darwinism” philosophical stance the things constantly worship, where literally butt rape mentality is the predominant motivation that determines all human interactions.
John Kerry is a perjurer. As RT’s anchor stated, Mr. Kerry is a member of the federal agency called the Broadcasting Board of Governors that spreads “news” in numerous (it’s website says 61) foreign languages worldwide, including Russian, a fact which Kerry directly lied about.
To demonstrate who controls its place in the AZ empire’s war, a review of the BBG’s website includes a list of the 8 governors (one seat vacant) that reveals a rather interesting factoid: an ethnic-religious tribal group that is about 3% of the US population forms the majority of the board, with Mr. Kerry himself being one of them. Care to guess what that tribal group may be?
And you thought John Forbes Kerry was a Boston Catholic! See this:
http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2013/10/12/ten-years-later-revelation-john-kerry-ancestry-has-new-chapter/89pyoQEfOJs8PqvazCYqHO/story.html#
Well yes he IS a Boston Catholic.
He found out 10 years ago about a Jewish grandfather, did he? what does that prove? absolutely nothing. If it had been a black grandfather, would that suddenly make him black? and ghetto black at that?
Insofar as he is a neocon zionist, he managed to achieve that without even knowing about that grandfather, so that’s to likely to the the cause, is it? therefore it is just as irrelevant as if he’d found the old guy was blind in one eye or had a toe missing.
You’d be better off continuing with proving your opening contention that “he is a perjurer” by explaining what he lied about.
It makes him 25% Jewish. If he had had a black grandfather, he would have been 25% black.
@Kat Kan,
John Kerry [aka Kahn] “says” he only discovered his true heritage about 10 yrs ago. Un Hunh. Of course we can believe a cosistently proven LIAR.
The AZ were grooming him from the very beginning. From the time of his “bogus” anti Vietnam war theatrics. The only more overt warmonger besides him is Bomb Iran McCain. I’m not sure which one of them lies more.
