When lies don't work, lie harder...

...and eventually you shall prevail!

That's what the mainstream media has been up to, according to Craig Murray.  Murray is a guy well worth reading. He was high up in the ranks of the British Foreign Service at one time, but disgraced himself with an outbreak of integrity.

You can see the point he makes. Take for example Trudeau's declaring a climate emergency on a Monday and approving a pipeline on Tuesday. That should make people's heads explode, but Trudeau just brazened it through. A complicit media plays along in helping inconvenient narratives disappear.

Like what's happening with Assange. Julian Assange is being hounded to death for the crime of exposing American war crimes. I'm with the guy who exposed the war crimes. The CBC and the Globe and Mail and every other platform for alleged journalism are on the side of the war criminals insofar as they refuse to stand up for Assange. Same goes for Chelsea Manning.

And where's the coverage of the OPCW scandal? That should be front page news, but it's invisible. Of course, once you open that rat's nest, you're knee-deep into another Hollywood fabrication, the White Helmets.

Best to just brazen through and ignore the questions.

The brazen lying has just begun around the execution of Qasem Soleimani. A couple of your regular Globe pundits floated the theory that Trump's using this to take our eyes off his impeachment. That's too easy.

Trump is surrounded by pro-Israel advisers, all of them pals of Trump and Kushner family friend Benyamin Netanyahu. Read up on his legal troubles and you'll figure out who it is that needs a distraction.

But that's not a discussion we'll see in our media, which have a uniformly high regard for the only democracy in the Middle East, to the point where they refuse to report anything critical. While that may not sound like an exercise in free speech, that's how it goes.

The Deep-State string-pullers behind Trump have pulled off a perfect operation. They took out a guy they've been wanting to get rid of for years in an outrageously provocative attack.

Nobody knows yet what the blow-back is going to look like, but you know who's going to take the fall.

Trump is entirely expendable, of course.


The real culprits will just brazen it through.
