What if Russia Won the Ukraine War but the Western Press Didn’t Notice?

The level of creative story-telling about Russia’s progress in the Ukraine War has reached the point where the scenario below is not entirely impossible. Sadly yours truly lacks the literary skills to execute a Philip K. Dick rendering of this sketch:

On MSNBC and “Authoritarianism”

MSNBC opinion columnist Zeesham Aleem just penned the latest in what’s become a parade of hit pieces from mainstream outlets directed at me and other independent journalists. Even by the low standards of the genre, “How the populist left has become vulnerable to the populist right” is a humorous standout. It argues that after I spent a month detailing how the FBI, DHS, DOD, CIA and other agencies built a system for mass delivery of censorship requests to firms like Twitter and Facebook, I helped fuel a subculture that “could funnel people from leftism to authoritarianism.”

The U.S. Regime Made Me A Non-Person

Honored that Eric Zeusse mentioned my ‘blog’ but upset by the censorship of all that are reporting the truth!

My thoughts when someone says censorship is okay because it’s a “private company”. Especially social media when I’ve been researching, for years, about how the government is embedded within their companies.

Activist Silenced for Questioning German Support for Ukrainian Neo-Nazis

During the final quarter of 2022, the German regime launched a lawfare campaign against socialists and anti-imperialists in Germany who questioned the propaganda campaign against Russia in relation to the war in Ukraine and dared to express the opinion that the US and NATO were the main instigators of the crisis.
