Western Media Whitewashing Extremism in Ukraine

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Dec 19, 2022 – Forbes has published an article attempting to dismiss concerns over extremism among the ranks of Ukraine’s armed forces as Russian propaganda, but admits that it had been a problem that Ukraine has since “fixed.”

Unfortunately, a screenshot included in the article is from a video that proves exactly the opposite – that extremism in Ukraine’s armed forces is worse than ever and openly benefiting from Western weapons and equipment flooding the country.

Malaysia’s New Prime Minister: The Impact on US-China Tensions in Asia

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Nov 30, 2022 – Malaysia’s new prime minister Anwar Ibrahim has spent decades in the service of US interests, chairing the IMF in the 1990s and working with the US National Endowment for Democracy ever since.

His opposition party, a street front he has helped lead, and media networks promoting him across Malaysia’s information space have all received funding from the US government through the NED.

What impact has Anwar Ibrahim already had on Malaysia’s sovereignty and development and what impact will his premiership have on Malaysia’s future?

Anti-China Protests in Thailand: Who is Behind them & Why? Searching for Asia’s “Zelensky”

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Nov 22, 2022 – As the US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine destroys a nation and destabilizes a region, similar meddling that preceded the 2014 coup in Kiev is unfolding across Southeast Asia and in particular, in Thailand.

Who is the “Zelensky” of Thailand? Documented evidence exposes the Thai opposition as a product of years of US interference all in a bid to pivot Thailand aways from its largest economic and trade partner – China – and transform it into a belligerent proxy against Beijing on Washington’s behalf.

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Update on Russian military operations in and around Ukraine for November 16, 2022

– Russia continues its campaign targeting Ukrainian infrastructure with missiles and drones;

– A recent barrage consisted of over 90 missiles, significantly degrading Ukraine’s power grid;

– The West has said since April Russia was running out of missiles, yet large-scale use of missiles continues;

– Russia is also now using long-range precision kamikaze drones meaning Russia appears to have a growing number of long-range precision weapons;

– During the recent barrage it appears at least 2 Ukrainian air defense missiles missed their targets and struck civilians in Poland;

– After claiming Russia is a threat to Europe, it is a terrible irony that Ukraine is responsible for the first strike on NATO territory since Russian operations began in late February;

US-Funded Media Fails to Produce Evidence of Russian “War Crimes”

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)2 Comments

US government-funded Frontline PBS recently published a video regarding alleged Russian “war crimes” from early 2022.

Despite over half a year to gather evidence, the video report categorically fails to prove the Russian massacres of Ukrainian civilians.
