Globe and Mail exposes Putin's propaganda war on Canada

The Kremlin's disinformation campaign is apparently much more extensive than we hitherto realized. Here are just a few of the falsehoods the Ruskies have been pushing, according to Steven Chase on page A3 of today's paper:

- Chrystia Freeland is a shameless warmonger

- Justin Trudeau doesn't care about the lives of Indigenous children

- Canada is a colony of the US empire

- PM Fluffy is a tool of the wealthy, and not only that, he is also a neoliberal capitalist pawn of the oligarchy.

I'll be the first to admit I've been totally taken in by Putin's propaganda. As a matter of fact, these points of view have, at least until today, struck me as self evident and non-controversial. I might quibble a little with the particulars - for example, I don't believe Justin gives a rat's ass about ANY Indigenous people, children or adults - but the overall thrust, that Canada is a meek and docile handmaiden to US power... well, to have that exposed as a lie is quite a shock!

Then again, the only source for Mr. Chase's scary story are the Champions of American Exceptionalism at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, a so-called Canadian think tank that happily solicits and receives funding from the US State Department.

Forget Putin; who's keeping us safe from US propaganda?

What is the mission of Bellingcat?

You gotta love those Horatio Alger bootstrap tales that Western propaganda keeps shoving down your throat.

Little Bana.

Malalah.

The Syrian sniper babe.

Pussy Riot.

Darlings of the western media, every one.

Concoctions of our full spectrum propaganda war, every one.

Eliot Higgins, Brown Moses, and Bellingcat are likewise concoctions of the establishment spin-miesters. 

I mention this only because of the hysterically self-righteous article by Eliot that the normally sensible folks at Unherd saw fit to publish. 

The slippery little turd forgot to mention his sponsorship by Regime Change Central, aka the National Endowment for Democracy. 

You know, that "non-government-organisation" totally funded by the US government.

You would think that sensible people would see through that bullshit. If you follow Higgins' work you'll see what side he's on in the overall scheme of things. That would be the side of his paymasters in case you were wondering.

You have to marvel at the provenance of the Higgins brand. Another stay-at-home loafer, brought up on Chomsky and Pilger, has a lot of spare time, and before you know it, he is discovering stuff on Google Earth that even the sharpest tools in deep state spook bunkers missed!

Of course he is!
