Really this whole war is nothing but a gigantic false flag. In a way, the whole war is “fake” in a sense because of the nonstop propaganda, lies, false flags, and fakes that the Ukrainians and their NATO buddies are putting out.
We seem to be entering into a “Post-truth” Era here. Or perhaps this is the Time of “Alternate Facts.” Other commenters have said that while false flags used to be fairly uncommon, now they are happening all the time. They said, “We seem to be entering into the Era of the False Flag.” Pat Laing said that the whole time he was in Vietnam, he had never seen the US lie as much as they are doing now. Sometimes it seems like that’s all we do anymore.
Anyway, this sort of thing seems to be defining our times. One thing is for sure is that the US government and the Western media are lying like complete maniacs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen propaganda, fakes, false flags, and media lying on this scale before.
The US is a dying empire.
Like most such things, it is no doubt lashing about wildly attacking everything around it in a doomed attempt to save its depraved involutional ass. I don’t think it’s going to work. As the decline of the US empire accelerates, its wickedness seems to grow by leaps and bounds.
As a hypothesis, this has the benefit of being quite plausible.
A Bilingual US-Truth Dictionary for our Modern Era
When the US says “truth,” they actually mean “lies.”
When the US says “Russian disinformation”, “Russian lies”, and “Russian propaganda,” as far as I can tell, that generally means “the truth.”
The truth is lies. Lies are facts. Up is down. Black is white. Right is wrong.
Orwellian.
I’ve been reluctant to accuse Russia of telling the truth, but they seem to be keeping it pretty much straight up for a long time now. The only thing they do is sometimes deny things that make them look bad. They denied that they invaded Ukraine with 10-15,000 troops in 2014, and they denied that they lost any soldiers when they lost 180-220. The Russian group that I was on called out those lies and flat out said that Russia was lying when they denied it.
The separatists once blamed a shameful missile attack on a city on the enemy because they didn’t want to take credit for it. In 2014, the Donbass rebels claimed that the Ukrainians shot a Tochka missile at their own territory. In the very pro-Russian group I was on, we called that out pretty quickly as a lie, as obviously the separatists fired it. It landed in the parking lot of a city administration building and caused no harm and only minor property damage.
One thing I like about the Russian side is they call it out when the Russian government lies, which usually takes the form of denials that bad things happened.
US news reports that Russia blew up the power plant and power lines that lead to the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant, and they are now occupying it and preventing repairs from being made. Supposedly if the plant is cut off from power for a while, it could melt down again, hence, the Russians are causing a nuclear crisis.
The Russians say that the nationalist battalions destroyed the power plant to the reactor and the power lines going to the reactor as a provocation. The Nazi battalions have been engaging in one crazy false flag and provocation after another in this war. Think about it. They’re Nazis, right? You think devious false flags are beyond Nazis somehow?
Let me ask you. That power station is not a military target. There were no soldiers around there. Why on Earth would Russia blow up the power plant to the reactor and the power lines? In order to believe that you have to believe that Russia did it “just to be evil.” Why on Earth would they do that?!
Choice:
1. Russia destroyed the power plant and power lines for no reason other than to be pure evil. They wanted to create a possible nuclear accident in Ukraine for no reason other than pure meanness. Russians are mean!
2. The Ukie Nazis destroyed the power plant and the lines as a provocation to blame Russia and to create what is possibly a false crisis involving the power plant. I’m sure Nazis wouldn’t do anything wicked and devious like that! The Russians say that the nuclear part of the plant has been shut down for years, and the plant operates only as a solar plant. Anyway, you could hit that thing with artillery or crash a 747 into it, and you still wouldn’t crack that dome and cause any radiation release, so this seems to be a fake crisis.
It is correct that Russia is now occupying the plant, but my information is that an electricity shutoff would not affect the plant, as the nuclear part of it has been shut down and nonoperational for years. So the whole thing seems like both a false flag and a fake crisis.
I pick number 2. Don’t know about the rest of you.
I 100% agree with you. The only danger of nuclear holocaust I fear with the present Russian-Ukrainian conflict, a slight but not to be left out of consideration, is a false flag consisting of NATO firing (probably from submarines supposed to be Russian) Russian-fuselage missiles on American cities they want to sacrifice. If they are waging a war against their own surplus people I wouldn’t be surprised. Then they would be justified in every way to launch a war (a more conventional one though) of terrestrial invasion of Russia and its allies. But that war they would stupidly and pitifully lose.
First of all, such a false flag would be rapidly debunked, with many Asian media posing as impartial. Second, there would be a civil war in the US between Liberals and Trumpists in the US with foreign intervention on each side. Third, whenever Russia or China is in any real danger of receiving rockets, the Russians have already opted for a quite different strategy. The Russian nuclear charges have already been installed where they have to explode in very deep tunnels, mostly in the US coastal cities plus two or three placed so as to rend open super-volcanoes already due to erupt soon. Before dealing such a blow they would have kept the US army busy with repression in the course of the civil war.
There is no horror the American elites will recoil from, and judging by their behavior in Ukraine they are perfectly capable to dress up fake Russian intervention troops to attack and destroy their own cities. But most probably America will commit suicide with drugs and lies, and China is watching over the process until there is no longer any authority. Then they and other allies can proceed to a boots on the ground invasion plus partition of such a degenerate people.
A big mistake commonly committed by Americans is comparing their decadence with that of Rome. Their idea is that for them having the privilege of four centuries more of decadence enjoying the growing suffering of the plebs still caught under their sway is inebriating. If a comparison is to be made with antiquity, America is Carthage, not Rome, by far more similitudes than you would have first thought of. Rome, while cruising along its decadent course like a carousing pontoon in a slow, tranquil river, left behind a worthwhile civilization nevertheless.
Carthage had nothing interesting to be salvaged except a few technical works about big domain agricultural technology, glass manufacturing, and boat-building. They didn’t leave one statue of worth bearing their signature, no building except purely utilitarian ones, though tons of mass-produced stirred glass figurines of no interest are regularly unearthed in the cities they built for their commercial empire.
Now Americans are at the point where they are about to abandon technology for more new-age magic except when dealing militarily with external foes or domestic terrorists, and where all believers in facts or experimental sciences will be denounced as carriers of negative vibrations.
The problem for them is that a few powers like China and Iran won’t follow them along that route, and won’t wait until their adversaries have turned their peoples into entities that no longer want to believe in facts but in myths and are as easily conquerable as India was when the East India company moved in.
