"The West's Public Enemy Number One"
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?

The progressives are painting Putin as the new bogeyman. Lower IQ serfs will never know this is a currency war for universal status. Like a sponge, the non thinking doles will absorb the US propaganda selling points.
Actually, I'd venture to say, a sizeable portion of the population isn't absorbing anything, at all
They really need to tone that PR down. The west lives in such bubble of non-reality, they cannot imagine consequences. There are consquences.
Putin looks like a bad-ass on that cover. Obama can never help looking like a fart that took corporeal form. The very image of the man exudes a close and disagreeable aroma.
Newsweek is looking to the internet for ideas it seems. Anyone remember this meme?
http://www.beheadingboredom.com/why-vladimir-putin-always-looks-intimidating/
The Newsweek still exists probably only for the purpose of being able to release the covers and to create memes among the lazy minds and brainwashed americans.
Public Enemy #1 is our media.
''the west's public enemy #1'' man, that sounds awsome! i wish i had this title ! its like a comic book villian level of badass... lucky fucking putin

Seriously, this is what "journalism" has become? I guess to the average reality TV viewer, this is pretty hard-hitting stuff.
Chris, we expect better from you.
Whatever you do, DON'T push the red button!
the shiny, candy-like red button?
How long before we start noticing a little "excitement" coming from our southern border...and I don't mean the immigrant or government-enabled drug movements...
As long as it's bigger buttons, not fat fingers, I'm fine. Dig their own fuckin' grave.
The endless stream of corporate crap labeled as "news" makes me wonder how much longer we will survive as a species.
The West's public enemy no 1:
[apply truth]
Obomber
The Bilderberg Cabal
Goldstein
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.
And propaganda directed at US citizens by US government is now "legal." Which means the already existing propaganda is now even more blatant and in-your-face.
Gaza siege should be blamed on "Putin".
Putin supports Iran. Iran supports Hamas. Ha! Ha!
The CIA is hard at work annointing future dictators and demonizing foreign Presidents. You can always figure out 2-3 years in advance of a Presidential election who it will be by the relentless propaganda on the covers of the magazines in your grocery store checkout aisle.
It is disturbingly apparent who the Bilderberg Group has chosen already.
Cuntalry Clinton?
Na. Too out front in the race. A rabbit. Hilldebeast is too old, too sick, and settled - like she did in 2008 - for a "statesman" life, post her...........public service....
Plastered all over daily in the asinine press, the masses will grow sick of the bitch, and clammor for a "fresh face"...then...voila....the Bilderboogers REAL choice....
just like Fuckbama...only with a twist....
Fucking Newsweek....did someone forget to flush?
Fuckin rag bird cage liner....
You sick bastard. Why would you traumatize your bird by putting it in a cage with this?
Putin bashing doesn't sell too well in Europe, cover story of European edition of Newsweek: Welcome to the German Century
the cover of Newsweek and other international magazines are often different for the US Public and the Rest-of-the-World Public. several ZH articles highlighted this fact. and the biggest whoppers are usually...
Typical Newsweek. Poorly written and factually lacking.
The content doesn't matter.
Its the cover that people glance at newstands.
Subliminal messages for the masses.
The old model used images to sell magazines.
The new model uses images to sell propaganda.
One look inside tells you this. No content besides a paid professors ramblings.
This may backfire, the kids, gamers and Gen-Xers may think he looks cool, the ladies may find him hot and the men will think he looks a proper leader.
AIPAC, zio-frankists and traitors hate him. The enemy of my enemy is my ally.
Kinda Terminatorish.
"I'm not going away."
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 only heard about Libya back when it happened, but I confess I was not paying close attention to the news back then.
BTW, another Russophobic media site has picked up the Lockerbie theme: Radio Free Europe. Propaganda piece here:
http://www.rferl.org/content/putin-crosses-the-lockerbie-line/25466517.html
Don't we get a Netanyahu cover with him devouring Palestinian children like a latterday Herod ?
Saturn or Chronos would be appropriate as a model. Oddly, genetically the Palestinian is closer to the original Jew than Nut and Yahoo.
I bet the rabid interventionists in NYC and DC are getting worked up into a lather over this cover.
After the Ukrainian Yulia expresses a desire to see Russia get nuked, and Obama hints that nuking Iran is not off the table, Newsweek puts mushroom clouds on Putin.
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.
they should have a poll, best pariah, obama or putin?
I thought the West's number 1 pariah was Jamie Dimon.
Keep them banksters squirming. Putin.
Need a faux Newsweak cover with Dimon, Blankfiend, Yellen, LaGuarde, Merckle et al displaying Vampyritous around the latest victim.
nope, US has no propaganda, none whatsoever
George Orwell would be so amused: PUTIN = Goldstein = 3 Minute Hate Wow the West is f*cked.....the political class has lost its marbles. This is Total Neurotic Collapse. This should be as effective in creating a new generation seeing Russians as rational and coherent in a world of lunatic drug-addled cretins running Western political systems........as Israel culling Palestinians is in making people wonder how the West can be silent while US munitions maim and murder civilians in Gaza turns people to wonder about concepts of Jewish Herrenvolk
The mushroom clouds in the lenses... Nice touch. I'm sure people who are still fighting the Cold War love it.
He's such a pariah that the Russians keep making bi-lateral currency agreements monthly.
Why don't they simply re-title Newsweek to "Rothschilds"
No wonder Newsweek is an un-buyable, un-profitable POS.
It is an echo chamber for North Eastern Urban Elites.
So many Kremlin-paid bloggers!
Would the honest Russian citizen please step forward?

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.
MH17 Chameleon: Operation Rapid Trident II
Newspeak
What? No horns?
You must try harder Newsweek.
What a clownshow US MSM is. Beyond belief.
The internet, censored even, is such a great leveler.
If you squint your eyes on the cover.
It looks like a Skull with teeth
Done purposely.
my 5 YO is gonna shit bricks seeing it at the checkout counter LOL
Jewsweek features "Vlad the Bad" Putin. Kick their asses Puty, everybody with half a brain is rooting for you, our freedoms are riding on your ability to temper the march of the shitocits.
I remember when TIME did the photoshopped photo of OJ.
Newsweek strives to be as bad as TIME.
I've said it over and over and I'll say it again:
When armies advance, Financial and Currency Wars become toy guns.
Bank lobby is about to be annihilated soon by Military Complex.
I'll stick with the cyber and economic warfare theories. Much less expensive in real terms.
Bank lobby is about to be annihilated soon by Military Complex.
would u expand on this?
Did you notice that Bank lobby is getting all the monye from QE and Military funds are getting cut and cut and cut and soldiers being laid off?
So the TBTF banks don't have a vested interest in companies like Raytheon, Booz-Allen, Northop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Boeing, Academi, etc... ?
This is news to me.
Funds for soldiers and vets are being cut. No doubt. Thats because the decision has already been made to go to autonomous combat robots. DARPA is doing just fine.
Large banks are insolvent. Military Complex has no use for insolvent banks.
Iraq showed clearly that without stationed soldiers, a territory producing oil cannot be held.
Forget robots. Humans are irreplaceable
Not. The banksters own the MIC.
So Putin is now Jewish?
No, but the writers and artists who cooked this shit up are, oy.
Duh. Everyone knows that. We goyim are here on Earth to think, speak and act as we're told ... by the Chosen People.
The utter absurdity of this Newsweek cover might well signal Peak USSA
"They" have well and truly "lost it".
The US has been desperately trying to demonise Putin whilst wanting control of the Ukraine one is beginning to think that the US planned the killing of MH17 to create reason to send troops into the Ukraine aka Desert Stotm.
With Newsweek propaganda they are to create public support.
Howeve neither the public or Germany want anything to do with the war mongering.
Someone at the CFR is going to get a pink slip for weakening the Newsweek story plot.
Bullish Contrarian Indicators on Russian Stock Market, that is all it is.
It's not the "right Hand" look what Putin did, that bothers me as much as what the fuck "the left" hand is doing that scares the holy shit out of me at this point.
The same people who drew NuttyYahoo's red-line bomb for his UN presentation created this cover and are running our government. They have gone over the edge so far in thinking we are stupid that they can't even see how apparent their lies are becoming. They are laying the foundation of their own demise.
I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can
Keep track of visions in my eyes
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?

The lengths they will go to the sell tabloids.
This is what's on the cover of the Russian version of the magazine: http://imgur.com/OGZKBgK (Vlad playing chess, Barry playing bingo).
That's funny! Thanks! :-)
And I think this https://www.youtube.com/user/zionget is funny in the same sad sort of way.
Or a photo of Barry with the headline "The Loser."
The U.S. government and press have "jumped the shark" with the MH-17 incident.
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.
Sad days for Amerika.
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.
Wonder how long it will take for these clowns to realize that their propaganda is backfiring.
Crony-capitalist controlled media = Zero credibility.
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?"
John Mccain said there would be hell to pay MH-17 was shot down by the Russians but he didn't say what the consequences would be if Kiev did it.
Punish them by sending more money?
That cover is gonna make one hell of a ZH avatar..
I don't think I've even touched a copy of that rag is at least ten years.
the us mada a mistake. they shot to early, so it went not down on russia teritory.
now they dont know what to do.
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.
A grotesque self-image of the military-financial complex
here we go-
Obama administration sending military advisers to Ukraine within weeks
war on.
They are already there. Why do you think the war is going badly for the Ukrainian Junta? Could you imagine the likes of Nudelman advising how to win?
well said.
Aye. It's a poltical statement. Obama looking like he's doing something.
Getting teed-up for the Red-Blue Olympics
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.

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.

Grieving Father Writes Open Letter To Putin: 'Thank You For Murdering My Child'it's really, way way over the top.... Bernard Levy's NYT op ed is fucking absurd....
It's pretty clear the Jews want to get rid of Putin.
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.
Hey, Putin isn't from Ashkenazi..
I do not support war against Russia simply because our 'elected' leaders are morons who are hopelessly in over their heads.
Who the hell reads Newsweek anymore? Dead and buried fossil.
I thought that turd of a publication went "online only".
Oh wait, that was U.S. News and World Report.

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.
