CNN ‘War Correspondent’ Clarissa Ward accidentally explained why the public is confused about what the corporate media are saying about the Ukraine war with Russia, compared to what is actually visible about the Ukraine war with Russia.
During a segment with Brian Stelter, Ms Ward explained how CNN war corresponding in Ukraine consists of talking about material provided to her by CNN production crews who sit and scour through YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and social media posts to find the input material for their stories.
Clarissa Ward didn’t mean to expose how the propaganda of modern warfare is created, but she did.
Ward was thanking the people in the background of CNN who search social media for their Ukraine content; however, in talking about what they do, she affirmed what we already knew was taking place.
People wondering why there is no visible ‘fight’ in this war, now find the baseline which Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh was talking about last week. The State Department, intelligence community and political participants in the U.S. government are constructing the “war” against Vladimir Putin through the prism of social likeability as a cultural weapon.
When the goal is to produce content that tells the “better story,” social media becomes the battlefield. War corresponding is reduced to using the corporate media platform to enhance the social media battlefield. Essentially you might call this “World War Reddit.”
The CNN war correspondent doesn’t even need to be in Ukraine, except for the fact they need some form of geographical context to create the credibility. The actual content of Ukraine material for the broadcast can just as easily be assembled in New York, California or mom’s basement in Illinois.
The social media content extracted by CNN workers, stationed anywhere, is then transmitted to the network producers who assemble the material, and a “war correspondent’ puts on a helmet and appears live on camera in Ukraine to discuss it.
This is modern journalism, aka propaganda creation, aka narrative engineering, and why there’s a lack of actual evidence for anything being attributed to the narrative surrounding the war between Ukraine and Russia. WATCH:

.
How do they know what’s real and what is propaganda? I am speechless.
they don’t know, just if it looks like fighting and Putin can be blamed then good to go
Doesn’t matter.
Only the story matters.
“Egermency! Egermancy! Everyone to get from stritt !
Heh. A great scene from the movie, The Russians Are Coming.
The Agenda is all that matter.
Follow the yellow brick road
…If they only had a brain…
They know what the news is before they observe it or write it …
Oh you are so right..so pathetic isn’t it.
Sometimes I wish I had Twatter just so I could share this blog.. thanks Sundance love you much
I share it on Gettr – and so do several others, I notice…
I just lurk on Twitter
If I were ….nah…I would have been kicked off a long time ago
Yup!
News media—‘
We are covering this War live from our Moms basement in Maryland!
Ruder Finn
The best part is where they claim the invasion is going poorly for Putin … because he expected it to “go faster”. No, they don’t cite any prior claims or predictions by Putin … nope … just the opinions and guesses of “the experts”. 3rd party speculation = news facts.
And Jesus people bought it … to paraphrase The Eagles.
That’s why Zelensky is conscripting men? That’s what has been “reported “. That has historically only been done when you don’t have enough fighters.
Saying he doesn’t need a ride-that he needs ammo.
Then next thing you read he’s handing out weapons to civilians.
Never said he gave them ammo. Just the weapons.
What’s up with the ammo…never heard him getting or giving out ammo. Did I miss that? Maybe one round like Barney Fife?
And now Zelensky is winning the war.
Now….I take just those little pieces of information that have been put out….
Shake my head. Scratch my head. I think real hard.
Doesn’t make any sense to me!
None whatsoever!
Putin and Zelensky really should set up a one on one meeting. Without any one else sticking their nose in it.
Quietest war I ever saw on TV.
Where is that guy that looks like Barney Fife at?
Is there even a war?
And when in doubt or you have nothing, just make it up.
The Russian Language Media is reporting it, if one wants the details, but you have to go through Google Translate.
And it seems to have nothing in common with the American “shock and awe” style of warfare. The seems to be some short fire-fight, if that, then the troops go through and people need to figure out how to re-charge mobile phones (the electricity is still on) and how to get groceries and pension funds delivered from Russia rather than Ukraine.
Bridgehead position: Lugansk Republic began decisive battles
What will follow the crossing of the Seversky Donets and how the liberated territory of the LPR lives
Anton Lavrov, frontline correspondent
The troops of the Lugansk People’s Republic are expanding their bridgeheads behind the impregnable border of the Seversky Donets that remained for several years and launched a decisive offensive against Lisichansk and Severodonetsk. At the same time, life is getting better in the territories that have already been recaptured from the Ukrainian troops. About how the concentration of forces for a strategic strike is going on and what is the situation in the liberated settlements – in the Izvestia report.

On February 27, the first batch of bread was delivered to the village of Luganskaya, liberated the day before. It is necessary to completely change the logistics of providing it with everything necessary and to establish a new life. On Sunday, the largest Ukrainian bank, Oschadbank, turned off its ATMs. Previously, thousands of people from all over the LPR used to come here every month to withdraw Ukrainian pensions and payments due to refugees from their cards.
Immediately after the release, stores began to accept Russian rubles, although the price tags were still in hryvnia. They are counted at the rate of one to three. But the shelves are gradually emptying, because earlier all deliveries came from Ukrainian territory.

These types of stories are not going to help CNN’s ratings… and the fact that they have to scour the internet for stuff makes CNN a dubious and pathetic source.

You are way better off tapping-out and watching the video below. And ask yourself how the NeoCons (Cheneys, Nulands, Boltons) end up being embraced by the Progress Left when we all at CTH ditched them years ago!!!
This documentary will shock you to your core:
Ukraine On Fire 2016 Oliver Stone
The United States government is literally funding Neo-Nazis (actual real ones, in Ukraine!, they still exist, uniforms, salutes and all, believe it or not) and hunting them down (us) in the United States. WTF ??? Furthermore, the EuroMaidan Protests look so similar to the Jan. 6th behind the scenes engineering it is frightening!!! (and Stone did this film in 2016)
I want to watch that documentary.
Russians with Attitude Twitter is a good follow.
The real irony is, if there is a wave of Ukrainian refugees entering the US, trying to flee Putin, they are not going to be progressive liberals but honest to God neo-nazis and white nationalists. If it wasn’t for the danger we are all in, I would be laughing my ass off. (sigh)
From PSYOPS to MIND-War
A real technical manual.
( When do we get reports of babies left on cold floors as incubators are stolen by invading troops ? )
Desert Scam # 1
Ny Post. Now featuring dead Ukrainian children. Top headline
At your command.
Dead Syrian children from chemical attack just in time to prevent a US troop withdrawal anyone?
John McCain was such a POS.
Peculiar that they would just spill the beans on the techniques used to create their broadcast material.
Hubris finally catching up to them?
They’re just showing off. They think.
My take on the Ukraine War with Russia is a simple one. George Soros! is on the side of Ukraine. What else do we need to know about the Ukraine War with Russia? Soros is a son of the Devil and I would rather die than be on the same side as George Soros.
100% correct my friend. Pretty simple. They can call Putin all the names they want. Waiting for their so called evidence.
Soros is a Hungarian oligarch. So Russian oligarchs are his natural enemy.
It’s a turf war. Nothing more, nothing less.
If anyone is interested, watch that Oliver Stone video I posted above. Soros is all over it, funding actual neo-nazis and doing the CIA’s bidding. I finished that video and am at the conclusion that there is pure evil in this world. These people just destroy country after country (Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya) and somehow profit from it and then move on to the next one. They don’t care one iota for people or democracy… fake RussiaGate, fake Mueller investigation, fake impeachment, rigged presidential election, fake Jan.6th insurrection… and now they are putting us on the verge of nuclear war. It is madness !!!
I haven’t finished the video yet, but there is a quotable quote near the beginning. “When you talk about politics, you are talking about money.” We can substitute “Covid”, the “Vaccine” and just about every other liberal cause for “politics” and the curtain is drawn, the lightbulb goes on. (If your head hasn’t exploded already.)
Fox has 2 reporters that seem to be in the same general block. One is in a hotel room, on the balcony, the other on the street.
It would be easier to cover this war on the ground than in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet they are safe in Kiev.
I don’t believe a damn thing about any of this anymore.
Did they have helmets and flack jackets on? Almost as bad as when they have “Dr’s” on with a stethoscope around their necks.
So the reporter leaning into the hurricane winds isn’t real either?
those are some of my favorite videos of all time!
don’t forget the one with the weather babe in the rowboat and the guy walks by right behind her –
all the way up to his shoes in water.
😂 😂 😂 😂
But, but, but, you can SEE the red glow in the background, can’t you????
There is nothing wrong with your t.v. ….
Notice the “fighting” is always in the distance. Why not go to that place in the “distance” and do your job…………Oh, I get it now. 😜 Where are all the cell phone journalists with all their live feeds of “fighting”? All FOX does is show burned out vehicles with no bodies anywhere.
Yeah I hate leftists, but the left wing journalists in ‘Nam, many of them anyway, actually were in danger.
This is a joke.
I swear I thought the one reporter in the balcony was in front of a green screen.
No one puts any money into news.
It’s all placed on talking heads with talking points.
Investigative journalism and frontline correspondence is dead.
Cable news is all about narrative and profit, not information.
Real information requires reading ability, not just watching video.
Seems to me that particular skill is in shorter supply every day.
I cannot tell if Putin has already captured Ukraine or whether he has been pushed back to Stalingrad.
We can only be sure that anything we see may not be real.
Best course of interpretation is the opposite of what the press says.
Just quit trying to figure it out, pray for peace, pray for no nuclear war. That’s all we can do.
If you would be willing to believe the media they would have you believe that Putin in his frustration has placed his nuclear launch team on standby.
I believe Putin is a demon, but he’s not losing his mind. IDK. IDK what to think anymore.
We can discuss Biden and his mental capabilities.
He usually can’t even get a clear sentence out.
Putin..he’s what I
term calculated and closed.
Seems to have mastered the art when he wants of hiding emotion and body language.
And Germany has ballistic missiles at the ready..
Just in case
Stalingrad? Last report I heard they’d pushed him all the way back to Tsaritsyn……….
The illegal bombing and annexation of Kosovo was a real treasure trove of lies you can look back on now and realize they have been doing that to us for a very long time
Bill Clinton, the author of all of this.
Yeah Baby El…
Huge propaganda push from multiple parties, including our political leaders. War scenes, interviews, breathless war correspondents, recycled footage, and bodies could all be staged with footage from Call of Duty as far as I know. Reports of one side “winning” and even video of captured soldiers is suspect. It’s unnerving how hard it is to identify what’s going on. I suspect I know about as much as Winston Smith from Orwell’s 1984.
Truth is the first casualty of war.
If you really want to know where the front lines are, Russian media sources are covering it, with actual frontline correspondents. But you have to use Google Translate.
ISVESTIA
https://iz-ru.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Then scroll through the articles, find one about the operation in Ukraine… the links should translate automatically when you click them, and then if you have the time on your hands, note each town name and put it in Google Earth, do that each time with a push-pin and you will know exactly what is going on. It is a pain, I know, but if the lack of information is driving you psychologically crazy, this exercise will cure it. If you read Isvestia for about 3 days, you will have collected enough town names to show you where the Russian Troops are.
I am not a military expert, but from the look of it, the Russians have the whole thing wrapped up, they are literally everywhere… Kiev surrounded, Ukraine has no access to the Black Sea… they are only targeting the Ukraine military, trying to avoid population centers, cutting utilities, and avoiding civilian casualties. It looks like they just want the Zelensky regime out. IMHO
Zelensky is in the video. My eyes started to bleed.
Just when you thought the lazy lyin media scum could not be worse they they prove you wrong. Where is Lois Lane.
This the caliber of journalist our colleges are pumping out. Weather girl level stuff.
Ha! Weather girl stuff. Remember the guy that was leaning sideways for the hurricane?
This picture is making the rounds.
Definitely fake guns. Did anyone see the segment on Fox that included this? What was the context? I mean, this is some pretty obvious propaganda of this is a real picture.
DD
Those look like the weapons typically issued to the military of a “shadow” government.
“Shallow” guns for a shallow government?
Didn’t ancient China actually hire potters to create an entire army like this?
Potemkin army for invading the Potemkin village……….
From an episode of ‘The Blacklist’.
I like the one where they are interviewing two Ukraine “soldiers” and Buddy on the left has his full Mag fall out of his rifle right on the air. Ooooooops.
“trick or treat!”
Well one of them is wearing what appears to be a Nike jacket. So that’s something~~~
They look carved out of wood and painted black.
Exactly what they are. Free weapons handed out in Kiev.
What they’ve been reduced to….. “This is Newbomb Turk, coming to you live from the ladies’ room at Tubby’s Drive-In this Sunday night.”
I guess it all started with Vietnam, bringing the war into America’s living room. Now it’s becoming sorta like the halftime show at the Super Bowl. With each subsequent war there’s increased pressure on the news media to be more flamboyant than the previous one.
What they learned in Vietnam , is that too much accurate filming is BAD.
Everything must be censored and approved for release. ( Chop – splice – sanitize )
Coming soon to a theater near you, War, rated PG
Yeah … John F. Kerry learned that lesson good and hard … #swiftboated
>>I guess it all started with Vietnam, bringing the war into America’s living room. Now it’s becoming sorta like the halftime show at the Super Bowl.<<
Yup. Along with the nightly update on the scoreboard, i.e. the body count relayed via Uncle Walter or Huntley and Brinkly…
Damn the Best & Brightest managers and their war of attrition, er… Police Action to the lake of fire. The present Mockingbird Media cohorts will insure the Best & Brightest from my youth will have ample company.
Sad to say you are 100% correct.
Well … the *ahem* diverse defense bureaucrats at NATO do remind me of a dancing, prancing, Bruno Mars … in high heels
For pete’s sake, send someone there with a conservative bent to them,,or, st the least,, half-assed honest appraisal of the situation
Reminds me of the original Star Trek episode where computers wage war showing strikes on a screen. Inhabitants were then told whether or not they were killed in the strike, if so faux killed they were to report for actual extermination.
Must watch TV!
Is that the one where they showed up to a cubicle to be killed?
Russia-Ukraine war: These videos of the invasion are actually from the Middle East
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/russia-ukraine-war-videos-misinformation-middle-east
Yeah, there are 18 movie companies in Kyiv. Lights, action, camera.
Isn’t Sean Penn there?
Yeah real ground breaking journalism right there. Hanoi Hannah did the same thing without the internet or social media. Nobody believed her bullshit then and nobody believes the MSM Whores Of The CCP’s bullshit now.
Well, well, well, this is interesting, wait till people realise the extent of propaganda that has not only ruled their lives, but formed their own personal opinions on nearly every major subject.
Or better still all the death, pain, suffering, and wars that were purposely caused by the ignorant masses unwillingness to look in a mirror and believe government propaganda regardless of what was is obviously false.
Denial is the most powerful drug of all. I am not sure they will see it.
Sundance please try to obtain & post Col. Doug Macgregors recent take on our involvement in Ukraine, it was epic! He appeared On Trey Gowdys show on Faux.
As expected Jennifer Griffin, Gowdy & the usual beltway decepticons issued immediate & obvious pushback to his position.
Jennifer Griffin has always been a Tard, but now she has become a Monster. It is creepy.
Wow! I knew Roosterhead is a RINO snake but I always thought he had half a brain.
He proves here that he’s pretty dumb.
Too bad this clip doesn’t have Jennifer Griffins deep-state response. She’s an oxygen-thief!
We already know that very few actual reporters, practitioners of journalism, exist; why would any American assume there are actual war correspondents, people who, while practicing journalism, put their lives at risk in a war zone.
“embedded” at the local Starbuck’s
The good ones die, Tim Hetherington of Restrepo fame, and Michael Hastings come to mind, if you consider the US gummint a war zone.
This whole situation was concocted by US DoS and CIA.
First disinformation regarding Ukraine joining NATO and/or the EU was fed to Putin via”leaks” to China.
Next after Putin put defensive troops in positions around the Ukraine border, he was provoked by CIA operatives in Ukraine.
Putin attacks, and the west responds with sanctions to make the lives of the Russian people difficult.
Now, the CIA begins destabilizing efforts to cause an uprising within Russia in hopes of spurring a civli war in Russia.
The goal? Regime change in Russia.
Why? Payback for the interference in the 2016 election.
“Alleged” Russian interference is what you meant to say.
Payback for Putin being a nationalist.
Gorbachev was a globalist; Democrats liked USSR when he was in charge. Then along came Putin the nationalist. Democrats switch allegiance to China.
Hey–I’m a War Correspondent, too!
Move over, Michael Yon. You too, #NoAgendaLara
Just like how social media suspended and banned people for questioning the official narrative about COVID, I anticipate that they will soon start suspending and banning people for questioning the official narrative about this war.
You will read about Oceania batteling Eurasia and a year later Oceania will be battling Eastasia. This is the way it is while the elite attends cocktail parties.
Remember “Shock & Awe” circa 1992(?).. The world watched CNN (yea CNN) in real time as missiles were launched and we could see the “tracers” in the sky… None of that now – eh??
Monte Python?
Yes.
I thought I caught a scent of elderberry wafting by…
Or something else “in our general direction.”
Monty Putin
They may threaten to Nadler in Putin’s general direction.
Colonel Doug MacGregor was just on Rooster Head’s Sunday night show. He explained that Putin won’t accept Ukraine in NATO and is only interested in the Russian part of Eastern Ukraine. Indignation followed. Jennifer Griffin was on the next segment and said she would need an hour to correct Col. MacGregor’s “misstatements.”
Fox News really is controlled opposition.
She’ll need two hours to correct that haircut.
At least.
She is a disease in need of a cure. I commented on her screed downthread.
Trey and her…controlled opposition.
She lived for two years in Moscow.
LOL… I saw a snippet of her the other day… “that haircut” HYSTERICAL!!! LOL
I recall when she came back to Fox after time off for her chemo or radiation for breast cancer.
She explained that she had lost her hair and that when it did begin to grow back she decided that she’d keep it that short when she went back to work because it saved so much time.
Isn’t she the one whose husband was blinded when he was a soldier in Afghanistan?
😅😅😅
I just sent a request to Sundance to try & obtain & post that EPIC take from Col. MacGregor.
Very telling how defensive Gowdy & Griffin became after his analysis.
Beltway decepticons in action!
MacGregor gets paid to promote Putin’s side (He is on RT a lot).
Gen. Mike Flynn was paid to promote the reelection or Edogan in Turkey, writing a column on election day 2016.
Defense experts are a valuable commodity, and need income. So they will take money quite readily. From anyone.
What is “RT”?
I didn’t think Gowdy got defensive; I thought he seemed very surprised.
I didn’t see the Griffin segment.
MacGregor is a frequent guest on RT , though. He is paid to promote Russian propaganda.
Griffin is a “warslut” paid to promote US propaganda.
This is a game for both sides. And real people are getting killed.
I posted this earlier from Telegram. As someone said, it looks like a scene from a Monty Python movie.
The fake news everywhere.

And who could forget the time ABC news did the report on Syria invading Kentucky ?
After Deputy U. S. Marshall Raylan Givens explained the 21 foot rule, ABC let that report circle the memory hole.
Ahhhhhh I see now. The threat otr nuclear war is the new COVID scare.
*Threat OF nuclear war
See it?
https://www.ready.gov/nuclear-explosion
COVID lost it’s scare factor so now they’re going for THE BIG ONE.
That’s why Rubio went on social media with the tease that Putin was acting a bit off.
Must have regime change in Russia; can’t have a madman with access to nukes.
LOL Look who it is….
So he’s implying that they’ve used nukes before but nobody ever bothered to tell us?
no, no, no, they’re saving the BIG one in case this doesn’t work….👽🛸👽
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Video games train the kids for war
Army chic in high-fashion stores
Law and order’s done their job

Assassination politics

You’ll only know what they want you to know
The television cannot lie
Controlling media with smokescreen eyes
Nuclear politicians picture show
The acting’s lousy but the blind don’t know
Open your eyes, see the lies right in front of ya
They scare us all with threats of war
So we forget just how bad things are
You taste the fear when you’re all alone
They gonna git ya when you’re on your own

Slaughtered on the altar of apathy
You gotta wake up from your sleep
‘Cause meek inherits earth six feet deep

Yes. Remember the Biden curse: Every lie they told about Trump either is true or will become true of Biden.
That includes getting us into a nuclear war. Or, at least, a believable near miss.
Trust in God. We’re going to need faith and we are going to need unity.
It’s going to get worse. Then it will get better, God willing.
Pray.
Heavenly Father, we thank you and praise you for our country. Please thwart the evil plans of men, and expose the evil deeds of men so that they will not escape justice, and rescue from destruction the innocent, the helpless, the unwary, and the unsaved. Protect those facing persecution, blessing and shielding them, and touch the hearts of their persecutors, lifting the veil, so that they will recognize their sin, repent, and trust Jesus Christ as savior.
Father we pray that you would give us politicians who have clarity, integrity, and passion for what is right. Give them great intelligence to solve problems, but please give them great strength of character, to stay away from anything corrupt or sinful as well.
Bless all who love us and all whom we love. Bless and protect Donald Trump, all of his supporters and allies, all lawmakers who uphold Biblical principles, law-keepers in all branches of the military and in all law enforcement agencies – especially those Departments which are under attack – all who are tasked with ending corruption by bringing the truth to light, and ALL of their families, working your good and perfect will in their lives this day enabling them to become the servants you want them to be, so that with wisdom and discernment they will lead spiritually fruitful, spiritually productive lives, and as happy, healthy, and long as you have appointed with your good and perfect will, free from malevolent interference.
Protect us from a slow agonizing destruction we pray.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Only in this modern America can you get hit with a nuclear bomb and then die from Covid.
Words without context are often misleading but pictures often worse. Perhaps that is why the media bombard the public with far more images than words.
“… Branco (a UN Portuguese army officer detailed to the United Nations as an observer in 1991-’93) refers to the participation of an American public relations firm which was evidently following the Muslims around and advising them on how to “manufacture” incidents which would elicit the support of the West insofar as their cause was concerned. Branco refers specifically to a certain James Harff; we will get back to you at a later date with regard to Harff.”

“In recent years a new method of waging war has evolved. It is cynical, amoral, and dangerous, because it is capable of mobilizing and influencing millions of people. It is called media war. The masters of this new type of warfare are experts in communications and visual images; they work out of sterile offices thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield. Their weapons are computers, fax machines, an updated card index with addresses, good contacts in the biggest TV networks and newspapers and among politicians of the party in power. The operators using this new methodology are called public relations agencies.”
Jeannie Toschi Visconti writes in Il Manifesto (in an article entitled “Balkan Lies”) on the role of PR firms in the globalist world of today:
“Essentially you might call this “World War Reddit.”

I’ve been assured by my Q Anon friends that they started this war with their memes. #TrustThePlan.
/sarcasm
The safest position to take is don’t believe anything you read, see or hear from the media.
And for sure Don’t believe anything you read, see or hear from anything related to our federal government.
I get information from reliable sources such as this after I’m satisfied it’s been verified enough I form an opinion.
It’s much like living 200 hundred years ago in the middle of nowhere when you hardly knew the truth about what was going on in a five radius.
” Ms Ward explained how CNN war corresponding in Ukraine consists of talking about material provided to her by CNN production crews who sit and scour through YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and social media posts to find the input material for their stories.”
Rather like scouring through garbage cans for dinner. Or in their case, breakfast, lunch, dinner and a midnight snack.
Yuk !!!
Fox News’ resident propagandist, Jennifer Griffin just came on “the rooster’s” Sunday night program and attacked a highly decorated retired army Colonel. She all but called him a liar and a water carrier for Putin.
Colonel Macgregor, the winner of multiple bronze stars and an advisor to President Trump, laid out a very coherent analysis as to why Putin made the move he did. No apologies or endorsements. Just facts!
Griffin then came on after Macgregor left and attacked the Colonel, calling him a Putin apologist. She “informed” the audience and the Putin is little more than a mad man, because, you know, Lil’Marco told her!
Ms. Griffen needs to understand that sitting around the Pentagon all day, and rubbing knees and things a little higher up does not make her a journalist. She’s no different than the ditz that SD describes in this article .
Oh, and by the way, as I was typing this, she came on Steve Hilton’s show and attacked a brigadier General who had just finished his segment! Sorry, this stupid broad has got to go!
Agreed! I watched both interactions & all she is is a water carrier for the Pentagon!
Breaking the Phalanx: A New Design for Landpower in the 21st Century by Macgregor, Douglas A. published by Praeger [Paperback] (1997) Paperback – January 1, 1997
Thanks for posting that vid! MacGregor is even more badass than I thought!
Here’s the link to Col MacGregors EPIC take that you’re describing:
https://video.foxnews.com/v/6299099588001
The Valerie Jarret sound stage war brought to you by: Rock Bottom Productions. It’s all FAKE!
Anyone who supports Biden anymore is criminally insane.
Opening line of the video:
The fog of war is a reality …
Especially when you’re the one creating it.
The last two nights on Fox, two separate hosts have interviewed that baritone realist Col. Douglas MacGregor.
Last night, the Colonel had to gently but firmly set straight the hyperventilating, always ebullient Brian Kilmeade who was under the impression the the patriotism and heroism exhibited by the Ukrainians surely showed they would win against the evil Putin. (Not so fast, Brian. Let’s be realistic.)
Tonight, he bluntly told the former congressman Trey Gowdy that, “We know why Putin is doing this and what it is he actually wants,” and as he explained what Putin actually wanted and how “we” (the administration) KNEW what he wanted Gowdy seemed mighty surprised.
According to MacGregor, Putin has been telling the world for several years what he wants: he wants eastern Ukraine, the part that contains ethnic Russians, the part, MacGregor point out, that is historically Russian. He will leave western Ukraine to remain Ukraine. The US wants… and Putin will be fine with this… for Ukraine to be neutral.
MacGregor didn’t argue so much as simply state that what Putin wants is NOT unreasonable and that to make him out to be has led to this morass.
Gowdy looked surprised, didn’t debate, went to commercial.
It’s good viewing: https://www.foxnews.com/shows/sunday-night-in-america-with-trey-gowdy
Colonel MacGregor was on Laura Ingraham’s show a long time ago with Sebastian Gorka who attacked macGregor for some sensible plan that the Neocon did not like. Laura was ticked off at Gorka and I believe has never was on her show again. I really like what the Col was saying and looked at his website a few times. he would have been great on Trump’s staff
I had a chance to meet and converse with Col. MacGregor at the home of a mutual friend. He was an impressive, historically-grounded individual. He was posted in Germany for a number of years, became fluent in German, and well-contacted in that nation. He was in the running for Trump to nominate him as ambassador to Germany, but I suspect he was torpedoed below the water line by the neocons with whom Trump surrounded himself.
Now, the new ambassador is the former President of the University of Pennsylvania, a staunch wokester. She is just the person for that post at this time. /s
I like McGregor – he’s the real deal
I remain absolutely astonished at people whom I know who have completely fallen for all of the propaganda. Putin is Hitler. Putin is Satan. Putin wants to invade all of Europe. We have to stop Putin or he will kill us all.
Of course the U.S. deep state and Ukraine have been trying to start a war with Russia for at least a decade. If it is not OK for Russia to come to the defense of ethnic Russian civilians in Eastern Ukraine, who have lost many people to Ukrainian military actions, then it is not OK for Israel to kill many of their neighbors.
In addition where is it written that Russia must tolerate a hostile military alliance on it’s border just so the U.S. and NATO can expand their criminal activities ? Putin is not a white but. However with regard to the Ukraine situation he made some very reasonable security demands that have been ignored.
I mean “white hat”.
Suppose they gave a war and nobody came?
Call me antiquated but I remember when war correspondents actually accompanied troops to the battlefield.
The wimps these days would be terrified to do that.

I fear the left is trying to duplicate the books 1984 and Animal Farm simultaneously while forcing honest people to duplicate Atlas shrugged.
The war correspondents background could just be a projection on a green screen from Bidum’s basement.
So what good is mainstream media content if they are merely collating social media stories?!?! Heck, we can do that ourselves.
This is going to end in much worse conspiracy theories than 9/11 Building 7. Yesterday I saw a video where vehicles were stopped and they were apparently conscripting males on Twitter. Today there was a video of two Israeli reporters getting the Freedom Trucker movement treatment from a man with what looked like a tshirt cannon or potato gun in a city with no evidence of any war affecting the traffic or buildings.
The MSM worldwide in cahoots with their governments have effectively created the destabilization necessary for Trudeau-like responses as more people do not believe them and join protests.
I hope I can post this link. It was very interesting. Starts out economic then at 50 mins a discussion with a man who has been in Kiev at a hotel for four days now. He reports on all he’s seeing and hearing. Has family in Ukraine. A lot not heard on the MSM presentation. These three man really give helpful & important info.
Thank you. That was excellent.
