Thanks. Really appreciate this. It's hard to read much in the American press about what is going on. Believe we are losing badly.

Listen to the Duran. Everything from collective western media about this war is a lie.

This Tiabbi article even got a shout out from the Oracle of London, Alexander Mercouris.

My biggest quibble is that the thing that made the liberal laptop class scream for more censorship was the CoVid narrative and the vaccine narrative. That pre-dated the Ukraine “current thing” and even Chomsky was advocating that the dirty unvaxxed be literally removed from society.

What is the Covid-19 narrative? What is the "vaccine narrative"?

Well there’s been one acceptable narrative and any doctors or immunologists who diagreed with things like shelter in place, masking, mRNA vaccines as the way out was completely removed from nearly all platforms. There was no debate or opposition allowed. If you are unaware of this, you are probably fine with the narrative even as it’s failures are blatantly obvious by now.

Try Alex Berenson, dubbed The Pandemic’s Wrongest Man by The Atlantic. He’s typically just called things out early that MSM had to admit months later with a whole bunch of gaslighting. I don’t agree with everything he says, but he was kicked off Twitter entirely for misinformation and EVERYTHING he posted turned out to be accurate.

One of the great things about listening to this article instead of reading it is that I learned that the name of the old Soviet newspaper Izvestia is pronounced IZ-vuh-STEE-uh and not, how I used to think, iz-VEST-ee-uh.

Russia is, and previously the Soviet Union was, not a threat. It was America's paranoia over communism that was. It was always required that Americans show enough contempt and toughness against the Soviets then and Russia now. Putin is a kleptocrat, but that is in large part due to our foreign policy to get the Russians to sell off their state owned companies, to move them along to a free market economy, with little concern for helping them develop a democratic culture.
