When we shared yesterday that all interested observers should be very wary of the information from media sources around Ukraine, there was a reason for that. Question everything. Take nothing at face value.
If you have never experienced the propaganda push surrounding war, the totality of the inbound bullsh*t can be destabilizing, overwhelming and unnerving. It’s one of the reasons why CTH doesn’t share immediate information. Everyone has an agenda.
Everything we are seeing in U.S. media surrounding U.S. interests in Ukraine is a massive propaganda operation with the headquarters in the U.S. State Department and U.S. intelligence community. The sense of sympathy you are feeling is part of an intentionally manipulative operation from within this DC matrix.
The images, pictures, videos, speeches, soundbites and the cinematography broadcast by U.S. corporate media are all purposefully intended to create a very specific outlook within the American people toward the issues in Ukraine. The leftist United Nations, and the leftist U.S State Dept, will work together on this just like they have done in the prior examples (Ukraine 1.0, Libya, Egypt, etc.).
It is very easy to become a victim of psychological warfare intended to manipulate our opinions.
The neocons, war promoting agents working on behalf of the UniParty and the collective globalist interests, are all united in their effort.
Unfortunately, almost everything being transmitted from corporate news into our psyche is part of a battle for your mind. The goal is to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This is why people who are familiar with these types of tactics often tap-out when the drumbeats get loudest.
{SEE HERE}
The White House, which means the total globalist effort, tipped their hand earlier last week when they defined “strategic power” and their outlook toward winning the battle for the mind. Everything is about writing a script, creating a narrative, building a “better story,” where the globalists are the heroes. In essence, the “strategic power” battle is for your mind…
…”Ultimately, the goal of our sanctions is to make this a strategic failure for Russia; and let’s define a little bit of what that means. Strategic success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory; that’s what Putin has done.
In this century, strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication and your story – who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill? And on each of those measures, this will be a failure for Russia.”
Everything in modern warfare is storytelling.
Question all of it.
The stories of the 13 guards on an island telling the Russian naval ship to fuck off… yeah, it was a lie (turns out they surrendered). The “Ghost of Kyiv” pilot, the lady with the sunflower seeds etc., now all recognized as lies and propaganda. And do not expect it to stop, because it won’t. Thus, the nature of warfare for your mind.
Source for the 13 guards on that island surrendering? Not doubting just would like a source to show others, because I see this being shared a lot.

Born Free, excellent comment and I couldn’t agree more. Like you, I avoid all sources of “the news,” so my brain has not been pounded into mush by the propaganda. I will try and watch President Trump’s CPAC speech at 7 PM this evening if I can find it on the tube or streaming. Other than that, I spend my viewing time in the evening watching most British commercial free shows. I totally agree that “the governing arm” of our country are all in it for themselves and damn the country. And Biden and Pelosi. What a pair, two vegetables still in office, the former by means of election fraud. I will also keep an eye out for that mushroom cloud.
Team Biden can spin this all they want – it isn’t going to stick with the American people.
For months we have been manipulated into feeling not “good enough” by this Administration.
Enough is Enough. Our people can’t afford gas, food, rent or live freely without fear of the long arm of the Government.
We have crime and no punishment. We can’t voice our opinion without being labeled a racist, an insurgent or a deplorable. How are we so different today than the Ukrainians?
I’m worried about Chernobyl. If the concrete shield over that plant is damaged, it will be an epic disaster.
Nuclear radiation isn’t especially dangerous. The only radioisotope the general public in the immediate vicinity of the reactor needed to worry about was iodine-131, because if it gets into the food supply and people ingest it, the radioactive iodine will get taken up by the thyroid and be irradiated. This can increase the risk of thyroid cancer, particularly in children. Fortunately, iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so all the radioactive iodine the reactor ever produced has been gone for almost 36 years.
PS – the Chernobyl accident resulted in only ~50 deaths, almost all of which were among the firefighters sent to the site to put out the fire. They died of acute radiation poisoning, not cancer. The Chernobyl Power Plant remained open and operational for another 14 years after the accident.
Whatever version of events gets out first is the one that hardens in the viewer’s mind.
Ukraine sounds like the model the Democrats follow.
Been keeping an eye on the various LIVESTREAMS from around Ukraine and still have seen no evidence of military activity in any of the cities. Streets have little traffic; but other than that everything seems normal.
It’s coming up on midnight over there now.

Interesting. I interpret this to mean that one-year conscripts (draftees) are being forced to sign enlistment contracts to become professional soldiers.
Ukraine invasion: Russian conscripts reportedly forced to sign military contracts, losing contact with family
February 26, 2022
https://www.foxnews.com/world/ukraine-invasion-russian-conscripts-military-contracts-family
Parents of Russian conscripts who say they’ve lost communications with their loved ones are pleading with Kremlin officials for answers as to where family members have been sent amid concerns they have been forced to sign contracts to fight as part of President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, according to the report.
Olga Larkina, the director of Russia’s Committee of Soldiers’ Mothers, spoke to Russian investigative news outlet Meduza, describing how Russian conscripts – those fulfilling military enlistment requirements – had been pressured, or at times even forced to sign contracts to become soldiers for the Russian military.
“Mothers are telling us that their sons have been calling them and saying they’re being forced to sign contracts. We believe it’s wrong to force a conscript to become a contract soldier,” Larkina said, according to the translated article. “The parents who have gotten in touch have told us their sons were just taken by military officers, stamped, and that’s it — now they’re contract soldiers.”
Conscription in Russia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Russia
Conscription in Russia is a 12-month draft, which is mandatory for all male citizens age 18–27, with a number of exceptions. The mandatory term of service was reduced from two years to one year in 2007 and 2008.
Hah! So normally being drafted has turned into a fake tear-jerker news story…
That’s classic fake news for you…
No, it may indicate that Putin expects a possibly lengthy campaign (perhaps beyond Ukraine?) and doesn’t have adequate military manning for what he wants to do.
So, are we supposed to be alarmed about this but not want answers re our soldiers (and other Americans) left in Afghanistan or those in the military being forced to receive “vaccines”?
Sucks to have govt mandates, eh?
Reminds me of where I live. The US.
I am unplugging news tonight and watching Svengoolie instead. It makes more sense.
I thought he was dead. Regardless, I liked Elvira better! 😉
Well of course you do, Elvira has Broad appeal.
I am watching Pres. Trump give a speech to CPAC.
No Svengoolie for me.
What time and where to watch?
Right Side Broadcasting Network. Can find on YouTube or better yet download the app because sometimes YT pulls the plug. Scheduled to speak at 7 ET, I believe.
‘Welcome my friends to the show that never ends…’
‘Come inside, come inside..’
I do believe you have the Right Ascension.
Svengoolie it is!
But remember no personal checks.
A lot of Drums of War being beaten at CPAC. WTH!?
Different party, same owners
Pompeo and Pence have been giving lots of interviews.
hmmm….
Interesting to see what President says about it at 7PM
There are the Eisenhower/Reagan/Trump conservatives and then there are the Bush/Cheney/McCain “conservatives”.
Bush/Cheney/McCain are many things. Conservative is not one of them.
The latter are also called “Neo” (new) Conservatives. The “Godfather” of neonservatism is Irving Kristol who described himself as a “Trotskyite”. Thus they are Democrat Marxists posing as republicans
Once, when I remarked on slum conditions as we drove through a bad part of town, my grandmother said, “No one’s ever so poor he can’t pick up his yard.”
And when I came home from college declaring that Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were both fascist pigs and I was a Communist, she said—take heed, Bernie—”at least you’re not a Democrat.”–P.J. O’Rourke
Ukraine meddled in the 2016 us elections against candidate Trump and in fact “Colluded” with the Democrats
You mean, they were assisted in many, many untoward things–given it’s so far, far away, with certain resources, and where does all that cash we dole out every year to those worthless DC ‘reps’ go–where does all that cash go under the radar?
I’ve listened to about 3 hours worth of CPAC so far and haven’t heard a “drum of war” yet.
If you find a link, post it.
DeSantis and Mark Robinson CPAC speeches are on page 1 of Prez Open.
Others I’ve heard were on Cspan TV this afternoon- 2 hours worth.
Are you actually listening to CPAC, or did you just surmise?
Yeah, I’ve seen a few fake things sent to me .
Kinda tuning it out for now .i kinda follow Mr Carlin’s thinking of I don’t believe a friken thing they say !
“me thinks thou protesteth TOO much” fitst penned by shakespeare, is STILL the best definition for “denial” and a clear sign of gaslighting.
We see it, in retrospect in Congressional Republicon advancing FIFTY TIMES, legislation to R&R Obamacare, knowing it would go nowhere, and then balking the one time their bluff was called.
Hopefully, being war weary from ME endless wars, and wising up to the “protesteth too much” TELL, the marketing campaign will fail, like New Coke.
What are your news sources.
Canada reinforced just how far fetched the lies can get?
They all lie—
Remember the lady with the mobility scooter?
And keep in mind it was Kinzinger helping McCain and McMullen arm ISIS.
Burned forever in my brain.
And Russia has been exterminating them faster than the US/CIA/Saudi Arabia/Turkey/Qatar can arm and train them
Kinzinger flatters himself into believing he’s as cunning as McCain or Graham in fact Kinzinger is the GOPs Swallwell….a lumbering Neanderthal dullard with all the appeal of cancer.
Vacuous Knuckle-dragger seems to fit Kinzy as well.
Even the Illinois Dims didn’t want him under any circumstances, so they “districted” him out of office. He will just be another Nancy stooge after his term.
Our lying double dog RINO congressman, Pete Stauber, votes with the dems more than the other RINOs.
Who came to little Pete’s rescue when word got out he voted with the dems? Adam, I like McCain better than President Trump, Kinzinger.
That sealed the deal on Pete Stauber being the dirtiest of dogs in Congressional District 8 in Minnesota.
Of course when you know Paul Gazelka, Minnesota Senate Majority/Minority leader is from CD8 and is a HUGE RINO
and
when you know Kurt Daudt, Minnesota House Minority leader is from CD8 and he is a HUGE RINO,
it is not hard to see why Minnesota went for Lil’ Marco in 2016 and why our state is useless when it comes to our “leaders” fighting for any kind of Constitutional liberty.
What did Stauber vote with the Dems on?
Thank you. I knew I was smelling a steaming pile of BS with the news the last couple of days. Now all the useful idiots on comment boards and twitter think that Ukraine has Russia on the defensive. They are even claiming that only 200 Ukrainians have died while they have killed 4000 Russian soldiers. Absolute nonsense.
The propaganda by the Neo-Soviet “media” during the illegal bombing campaign of Christians to help Muslim terrorist KLA was incredible. After ‘their” goals are achieved ( the illegal annexation of Serbian Kosovo) then ‘some’ truth can come out
Serb killings ‘exaggerated’ by west
Claims of up to 100,000 ethnic Albanians massacred in Kosovo revised to under 3,000 as exhumations near end

Hey Colkitto,
Wasn’t that warmonger Madeleine Albright’s campaign of war and destruction.
Yes, she of the infamy who said on camera that murdering 500,000 Iraqi children, senior citizens, woman, men was “worth the price” (through sanctions). As I’ve said numerous times, these Liberals pretending to be champions of democracy are evil monsters. She should have faced capital punishment for war crimes.
Madame Albright is a devout Episcopalian.
Nope! LOL
The good ole days, when truth reigned supreme from the White House. 😉
Nicknames Trump Invented in 2018

And that is from The Hill. Allegedly conservative. B.S. They don’t even call him President in their title, that is how crappy they are. NEVER trust them.
Putin tells Joe, a knock knock joke.
Knock,knock, who’s there? CRIMEA, CRIMEA who? Cry me a river….🙃
I’m sorry, Sundance! While I wouldn’t send US forces in, I can tell you right now that I want Ukraine to win! If Ukraine can defeat or even bog down the Russians, maybe China will think twice about Taiwan.
Cute!
That’s just it.
There are numerous “hooks” that the DS Pravda
are able to utilize.
Sure wish Pres. Trump were in office.
When Trump was president, we were signing peace deals!
Uhhh, I’m pulling for Russia on this one….fighting the urge to pray for Putin to nuke DC.
Lots of fried democrats. Surprised you are pulling for Russia. What do you think their conquest would do to benefit main street Americans?
What’s your rationale for that? How would the US (and I don’t mean Biden! He’s as anti-US as Putin.) benefit from this? What effect would a Russian victory have?
China has been threatening action in Taiwan for decades now.
The only time they didn’t do it was when Trump was Prez.
I don’t think it matters to them what happens w/ Russia/Ukraine.
Furtherance of MASS FORMATION PSYCHOSIS
The Russians reached Kiev in 48 hours.
That’s all the news you need to really know here.
…and Victoria Nuland bakes an impressive plate of cookies.
And were thrown out of the airport they seized. But hey, thanks for telling me all I need to know.
All of the media propaganda people have made it from Canada to Ukraine.
They are writing their propaganda as I write this.
Germany allegedly has agreed to send military aid.
Ukrainians appear to be fighting, but appear woefully outgunned.
We’ve sent over Billions… we know where it didn’t go.
Other nations sending military aid… the Netherlands, Poland, the UK, Estonia, Latvia.
The UK is providing $25,000 one-time use anti-tank missiles. A few thousand of those might completely bog down the Russian onslaught.
Javelins are $100K each. 400 of them would make a difference along with a similar number of Stingers.
CDC guidelines call for cloth masks, they say they have a study that shows 95% effectiveness against nuclear ash.
Safe and effective.
Wear 3 just to be sure.
Take everything you see in the media at farce value.
Me trying to blow away some of the fog of war and smoke of propaganda….
Posted for historical/geographical context only.
You may disagree with an adversary’s POV, but you are a damned fool if you just dismiss it.
Note carefully that Ukrainians, having recently survived mass starvation engineered by Uncle Joe (Stalin), initially welcomed the invading Germans as liberators in 1941, just hoping to get the deadly Russian commies off their backs…right before the Germans also went to work on the Ukrainians, as just another form of ‘untermensch.’ No easy days, here.
WWII a Wall St War.
Must be terrified of Kazahkstan, the Mongols used that approach and stayed for 300 years. Russian POV suggests every neighbor who can be seen as a threat justifies Russian domination. Time to reject and argument that anyone but a dying FDR would have ignored.

Idk but maybe they’re trying to tell us something?
(*cardboard guns) 🤣
Incredible.
Evidently they are voting guns that shoot hanging chads.
At least they’re practicing safe weapon handling; finger off the cardboard trigger..
It has been this way for a long time. Anyone remember the fake baby incubators in Kuwait story helping to justify attacking Iraq? IIRC the young woman giving testimony before Congress (morons or fools in hindsight? or should I embrace ‘and’) was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador. They want us to fight their wars until we are no longer able, then to fund their wars with our taxes and children’s lives. What used to be our homeland is now the central toy in their planetary self-actualization playground. Globalism is evil and must be destroyed.
Who could ever forget the bag lady coming under sniper fire in Bosnia.
That’s a classic for the history books. Tell ya that is one brave “lady” we have there….
“In this century, strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication and your story – who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill?”
This was the strategy that was implemented in Afghanistan. Once a successful strategy has been perfected, it bears repeating. Particularly when implemented verses a bear.
Same Democrat play—Russia Russia Russia bogey man.
Same sh*t different day.
Let’s see how they try and place the blame — on Trump.
Concur dems are brain dead. Reality is that those really are Russian troops invading a sovereign nation.

The globalist deep-staters are all cheerleading for Ukraine. This is how we identify the grifters.
All the right people are getting pissed of that Putin is upsetting the apple-carts in Kiev.
Turn the tables on the Legacy Media by being ‘fact-checkers’ of their propoganda. Start labeling ‘Ukraine good / Russia bad’ stories they put out as a ‘consiracy theory’, and watch their heads start to explode. This is about destroying thier ability to craft a narrative / deceive the public.
Next up on deck is going to be a China / Taiwan situation.
Legacy media silence will be deafening.
Not from the deep state. Not a globalist. Not a grifter. Absolutely rooting for Ukraine to defeat this invasion.
Me too.
This is true though, correct? “Weeping Teacher Takes Up Arms to Fight for Ukraine”
Perhaps Crack Hunter Biden can tag along and guard Burisma if russia hasn’t seized it already and perhaps got some evidence of the Biden/Obama/state Dept criminality in Ukraine
Oh the evidence it out there, but who would publicize or prosecute it? Like Hawking’s turtles, it’s corrupt globalists and socialists all the way down…
It has only been a few days since Sundance taught us about the
Turdeau confiscation of bank-funds, boo-boo revelation.
Suddenly, like a whip-saw, we were directed to the Putin invasion.
Too much drama/whip-saw!
When it gets this “exciting”, it is time to be more skeptical.
And the same people who wrote and covered all the lies and propaganda about Canada and the Truckers are now in Ukraine.
Does anybody actually believe Zelensky is “fighting on the front lines”? LOL
I saw a pic where he was the only one with his helmet off so he could be easily identified.
Zelensky is a Z list celebrity who entered the presidential election to raise his profile and “for a laugh”, the brain dead people voted for him in enough numbers.
You can’t make it up.
BTW, Zelensky is so “patriotic” he went on Ukraine television with another man making a complete fool of himself with his trousers down around his ankles while the national anthem was playing, if you can find it on the net, have a look, he looks completely drunk or high on drugs.
Just think about that, anthem playing, the current president of the country on TV with his trousers down by his ankles looking totally drunk waving his arms about like a nightclub bore.
Just like Biden, then.
Ya sure that wasn’t archival footage of Willie Clinton?!
He was just hanging out having a grand old time with CIA flunky Sean Penn.
They had to send Sean because Chuck Barris had sadly achieved room temperature…
The Gong Show was really funny especially the unknown comic with a paper bag over his head. If the show contestant was particularly bad he’d be GANG GONGED!
Good thing our guy is more coherent/s.
So Russia has not started an invasion of the Ukraine? Everything reported is a lie? How about those that have actually been there? You need a reality check. Watch Sabasrian Gorka’s short speech at CPAC this afternoon. A personal experience with the realties of the evil of Communism/Marxism.
he got kicked off of trump’s staff because someone noticed a pin he was wearing, sent investigators to Hungary for further study and got him kicked off the team.
Are you there? And have you witnessed Russian troops fighting in the streets and countryside of Ukraine? All I see from the video coming out is a bunch of Ukrainian forces running around like chickens with their heads cut-off. Can you tell an F-16 from a MIG 29? Does an American missile have a different explosive profile from a Russian missile??
The crap being spewed at CPAC is 99% BS anyway. I do agree that the evils of Communism/ Marxism are detestable and well documented, however I do not trust the State Dept., the MSNM or any other element of this government to report the truth.
I can remember the bs on Kosovo or Bosnia with the fake picture that fooled the world and won all kinds of prizes. was total b s
Russia is not Communist nor Marxist
However, the USA federal government is Marxist as are several state governments
Anyone else getting the feeling that zelensky and Putin are just actors in some globalist Kabuki theater production?
ditto….the whole thing looks like a stage play.
Feels like a carnival of the damned with Joe Biden running the Tilt-o-Whirl.
Definitely feeling Kabuki theater, with some sheep herding thrown in. The flight of millions of women and children across the Polish border reminds me very much of the long lines of Americans who rushed out for their jabs. An unthinking response spurred on by induced panic.
For days or weeks there was propaganda buildup to the military action. No one stocked up, made arrangements, left town? No, we gotta do a newsworthy run for the border by 80 year old grandpas walking 80 kilometers in the snow.
Checking in with Posobiec and he is giving the same warning about the info fog being thick, but he has been on a tear lately about a resurrected Polish led federation from the 1600’s. So he has an angle here too. I guess everyone can see a multi-polar geopolitical alignment coming and he is worried about Poland drawing the short end of the stick for the umpteenth time in history.
No amount of propaganda is going to wash away what we know about how the Davos cabal has made use of Ukraine. To the extent it is our fight at all, it is us the world against the cabal, and they are against Russiaso there we gotta.
In any event, nothing in Ukraine is worth the life of a single American soldier.
Outstanding pictorial depiction by Sundance of the intense level of propaganda cow-pie hurling going on. People can’t rely on authority figures and official agencies for even the mot basic facts.
Reminds me of the the Investigation into Alleged German Outrages conducted by Viscount James Bryce, the most admired historian of the day, former British ambassador to Washington and the most recognizable Englishman in America in 1915.
He conducted a meticulous investigation, and personally presented his detailed accounts of German atrocities to President Wilson to persuade him that the wicked Kaiser must be stopped. Boys with hands cut off, babies bayoneted, woman gang raped and breasts cut off, priests nailed to barn doors, nuns hung from lamp posts, war dead made into soap…
Problem was it was all elaborate lies. Looks like we’re back there again. Caveat emptor
Here’s an article from George Washington University History Dept on the strange but true story.
http://hnn.us/articles/1489.html
But WWII is still off limits.
Historian David Irving did some meticulous research in the archives of Germany & the UK and wrote a book at odds with the mainstream propaganda of WWII and found himself ostracized and worse. During a defamation case the judge told him that “the truth was no defense” which is Orwellian to put it lightly
That falls in line with what leftists now say/ use. That is– your truth v my truth.
Just like this nonsense that math is racist ( Bill Gates ) and 2 + 2 = 5
but not 2 + 2 = 4 the truth and factual answer
Believe nothing. Prepare accordingly, this is an all out effort by the American intelligence apparatus to get America involved in a war on the European continent. It will not stay on said continent. Expect major cyber warfare operations against American infrastructure.
CIA specialty, mixing it up in foreign wars and nations.
See video clip– Lol…
OMG.
Toy/Prop gun.
Can you imagine how disappointed a little boy would be to find this POS under the Xmas tree?
Oh geeeeeezzzz. I about coughed up a lung laughing. “Come on man!”
Those boys are in trouble.
I wish Chanel would post on GETTER. She has an account
A good policy in life is to always take the opposite view of the MSM. And since they are strongly against Putin and Russia on this, perhaps on this issue at least, we should take the opposite side and be with the Russians.
The current person filling the role of president in Ukraine is an actor and yes he did get a law degree, and he also played a role in a show where he played the president. Are we watching a movie?
Reagan was an actor without a law degree. Was that a movie?
I can concur I have heard very similar antidotes too. For instance,
last summer I stayed in Odesa and my Uber driver told me a story of a Georgian millionaire he drove around for a day that bragged about how easy it is get whatever he needed to make his business there with just spending less than $100k in bribes. The driver was just pissed that they don’t have welfare/social assistance like USA and Europe.
Pfizer and moderns have vaccines for radiation poisoning. Fauci to tout at SOTU.
