"The West's Public Enemy Number One"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Newsweek's "triumphal" return to print with its expose on the wrong Satoshi Nakamoto (of "Bitcoin founder" fame) was less than, well, triumphal. So what is the eyeball starved media outlet seeking a second life to do? A screaming "grab me" epiphany of jingoist groupthink, in which we read that last week's events in Russia was "Putin's Lockerbie moment", should certainly help (and indeed it's very kind of Newsweek to have conducted all the forensic analysis and tests which confirm its magazine-selling allegations).

 

Which is ironic, considering just three months ago we got...

 

Perhaps the West needs bigger buttons then?

this is fascinating stuff. newsweek is a policy making extenstion of the feds foreign policy role - tell people janet yellen makes foreigh policy, they stare at you incredulously - much like the old trial balloon in politics. its works this way : you speak the truth and then wait to see if anyone notices. if no one notices then the policy remains and the system goes to work on the next iteration. the only caveat (not having read the article) is that is must be presented in infomercial standards. will news consumers absorb and accept the feds new role. and most importantly it has to echo a previous policy plank, isolation, deification, and ultimately assassination or overthrow of the other regime. the real point you can take from this is that the fed is not going anywhere, (and i would say Ron Paul is the perfect foil in that regard, a critic with no teeth, he simply plays the critic, while his son sits in the wings ready to confirm scotus decision on the corporate bill of rights (they both share the same libertine policy plank) while Rand says he wants to retreat from foreign wars, remember he doesn't make foreign policy the fed does. does the 21thcentury belong to Orwell or Lewis Carroll? the conspiracy  theorists can't run fast enough to keep up.

Including nuclear bomb eyes. Newsweek has gone tabloid.

Western journalism has sunk to a new low with all the insinuating articles. Nothing verified. Just print something out of context which later turns out be something else but of course not correcting the original posting. Seymour Hirsch said a few months ago: "there is no investigative journalism anymore".

When Newsweek has a cover like this, then the anti-Putin paranoia has passed into bizarro-land.  I hope somebody in the Kremlin is saving pictures like this for the photo album.  Excellent for satire.

On the more serious side, if this sorry episode is Putin's "Lockerbie moment" then is Newsweek saying Putin ordered the shootdown of MH-17?  And, is Putin scheduled for the "Qaddafi treatment" and somebody in the West is planning to have him torn limb from limb by a mob?

Little wonder that he is resentful and wary about the West, especially media like Newsweek and the governments that use it for propaganda.

Didn't Lockerbie have something to do with an Aegis Class warship USS Vincennes shooting down an Iran Airbus whilst located in Iranian territorial waters and killing 300 including 66 children ?

Didn't Captain Will Rogers get a Legion of Merit for his brave action in saving the US from Passenger Attack ? Didn't the USA blames Iran for buying European aircraft and daring to have territorial waters ?

Surely Lockerbie was Iranian revenge and the US Govt removed its agents from the flight

I can't grasp what is happening now with the media going berserk on this. There is no integrity, no professional honor. Just the hunt for that 'spectacular headline', ratings or some award. The worrying thing is that there is self censorship. No one dares to go against the current. And the sheeple love it, demand it.

If we wonder how it was that WWI and WWII came about and wonder why nobody saw it coming or tried to prevent it then we just need to pay attention now. Back then people depended on the news that governments fed them through radio and the newspapers. But now times have changed: there is internet. But people haven't changed. They still like to be fed the news instead of finding alternative news sources.

There are plenty of people who visit alternative news sites and say 'hold on a minute'. Like people on ZH. But I am afraid we are a minority.

MH17 Chameleon: Operation Rapid Trident II

 

 

 

The announcement of U.S. BREEZE and RAPID TRIDENT II military maneuvers came on May 21, 2014 by Vice President Joe Biden’s office. Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is a newly-named director of the Ukrainian natural gas and oil company Burisma Holdings, Ltd., owned by Ihor Kolomoisky, the Ukrainian-Israeli mafia oligarch, who is known as the «Chameleon». Kolomoisky has raised his own mercenary army, complete with the BUK missiles allegedly used in the shootdown of MH-17. Kolomoisky, the Governor of Dnipropetrovsk oblast in eastern Ukraine, has threatened terrorist attacks against Russian-speaking officials in eastern Ukraine, including assassinations.

Putin has become the evil czar, plastered all over the Jewish-owned press ever since Nuland and her neocon gang engineered the overthrow of the legitimate government of Ukraine. The US has intervened in Ukraine, bringing along its paid mass media and the demonization of Putin to justify its junta government.

Until we get rid of the Federal Reserve, America has no media… it will always be the Jewish media…because fiat money buys politicians and corporate media, cutting the ties between American citizens and government (supported by the bought media).

It is not anti-Semitic to point out that the media and the American government is pro-Israel and pro-Jewish because of the dominance of Jewish financial officials and ownership of the private business known as the Federal Reserve.

It’s appalling to read the viciousness of Israelis railing against  not only the separatists in eastern Ukraine but the Gazans trapped in an enclosed space and being murdered by a military power for the rest of their property. The most appalling part is the virtual lock-step support of these murderers by American politicians and  American media.

Here are a few appalling statements not criticized by the “American” media:

This is Moshe Feiglin, deputy speaker of the Israeli Parliament:The IDF (Israel Defense Force) will conquer the entire Gaza, using all the means necessary to minimize any harm to our soldiers, with no other considerations.”

More, from Global Research:

Ayelet Shaked, economics minister of the Jewish Home party, calls on her Facebook page for murdering the mothers of what she terms Palestinian “terrorists” so they cannot give birth to more “little snakes.”

“They have to die and their houses should be demolished so that they cannot bear anymore terrorists. They are all our enemies and their blood should be on our hands.”

…their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes, otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.”

Dr. Mordechai Kedar, a lecturer on Arabic literature at Bar Ilan University, believes the sisters and mothers of Palestinian “terrorists” should be raped: “A terrorist, like who kidnapped the boys [in the West Bank on June 12] and killed them, the only thing that will deter them, is if they know that either their sister or mother will be raped if they are caught.

“What can we do? This is the culture that we live in.”

His university defended the comments: “Dr. Kedar illustrated in his words the bitter reality of the Middle East and the inability of a modern and law-abiding country to fight the terror of suicide bombers.”

How can you be "law-abiding" if you rape and murder?

It is all over.  I will never trust anything a politician says or read a mainstream news item without thinking, "What is the spin on this?"

I sadly have more respect for Putin than any of the sell out clowns we have in charge over here.  Love him or hate him, Putin is a true leader unlike anything we have in Washington.

God help us if we do have to go to war with Obama in power.  He has absolutely no idea what he is doing and it is quite evident.

We got what the elites paid for. For better or for worse. Some pointed out before the elections that he was an empty suit, a stalking horse, but we didn't listen- we still voted for him.

Putin is the real deal. A man who says what he means and backs it up. He's older than Obama, and the Big O may be in a little better physical shape due to the age thing, but my money, the whole farm, would be on Putin if they stepped out behind the pool hall to settle things like men.

Putin would kick the Big O's ass till his nose bleeds, that's my guess.

And Obama knows it.

Hopefully,  Joe Six Pack is looking at this whole "evil Putin" propaganda tsunamai and thinking:  

 "WTF, is this Putin A-hole the guy who caused me to lose my goodpaying  job and house, or is it those damned hooknoses on Walltreet?"

The American media does not have news. What they have is like a sewer pipe that empties into your living room. I shut it off about 20 years ago. It's nothing but sensationalist trash.

Iraq WMDs, Saddam, Afghanistan, Syria and now Russia. USA needs to keep fighting and destroying countries around the world thereby creating more and more enemies. This services a two fold need. The citizens of USA are diverted from the economic problems in their own country (The ongoing recession since 2008) and the politicians justify their actions of keeping the war machinery well oiled by diverting larger and larger portions of tax payers money to fund the war. These funds could be better used to improve the crumbling infrastucture in the US and improve the lives of a majority of the population.

Senior U.S. intelligence officials said Tuesday that Russia was responsible for "creating the conditions" that led to the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, but they offered no evidence of direct Russian government involvement.

That's right. If Russia hadn't edged out the EU banksters on a loan deal to Ukraine, and thereby forced the the EU and US to back a coup against a constitutionally elected government in Kiev, none of this would have happened.

Putin either jailed or kicked out the Jewish oligarchs that bought Russia from Drunken Boris Yeltsin. He is a national hero because he reclaimed Russia for the Russians. The American Jewish Media hates Putin for that.

Take a good look. This is what happens when you take advise from Henry Kissinger, instead of throwing him in prison, trying him for war crimes and crimes against humanity, extracting the information you seek & not paying his fee.
