Excerpt:
"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.

I don't know war, but I do know media, and everything about how the war is being covered is sending up major red flags to me.
Two quick examples:
1. Hero stories popup immediately, that end up not being true.
The 13 guards telling the Russian naval ship to fuck off (turns out they surrendered), the "Ghost of Kyiv" (doesn't seem to be true), the sunflower seed story, etc...
MOST telling, media runs them uncritically.
2. The biggest weird thing to me: no one stopped buying oil/gas from Russia.
Germany said they will keep buying.
US State Dept went so far as to say, EXPLICITLY, that sanctions are designed to NOT stop the flow of gas.
What? Those exports are 30% of the Russian economy.
I have no doubt that real Ukrainians civilians are dying and suffering on the ground, and that sucks.
But do these actions seem like the actions of warring states?
No.
In the American media, it seems like a spectacle put on to either distract or "manufacture consent."
I'm not going to fall for it.

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…"
