USA: Oh God It’s Going To Get SO Much Worse

'Is anyone honestly more afraid of Russian disinformation than they are of their own government appointing itself the authority to decide what counts as disinformation? ...Now we’re seeing increasingly brazen censorship of political dissent about a fucking war that could easily end up getting us all killed in a nuclear holocaust.'

By Caitlin Johnstone: Rightists have spent the last couple of days freaking out and invoking Orwell’s 1984 in response to something their political enemies are doing in America, and for once it’s for a pretty good reason. The Department of Homeland Security has secretly set up a “Disinformation Governance Board“, only informing the public about its plans for the institution after it had already been established.

The disinformation board, which critics have understandably been calling a “Ministry of Truth“, purportedly exists to fight disinformation coming out of Russia as well as misleading messages about the US-Mexico border. We may be certain that the emphasis in the board’s establishment has been on the Russia angle, however.

Americans Are “In Charge” Of The War Says French Journalist Who Returned From Ukraine

'Both the United States and the UK have publicly asserted that there won’t be “boots on the ground” in Ukraine, but apparently there has been a US-UK military presence since the start of the war.'

By Paul Joseph Watson: A French journalist who returned from Ukraine after arriving with volunteer fighters told broadcaster CNews that Americans are directly “in charge” of the war on the ground.

The assertion was made by Le Figaro senior international correspondent Georges Malbrunot.

Malbrunot said he had accompanied French volunteer fighters, two of whom had previously fought against ISIS.

“I had the surprise, and so did they, to discover that to be able to enter the Ukrainian army, well it’s the Americans who are in charge,” said Malbrunot.

"A Down Payment On World War III": Peace Activists Blast Bonkers Biden's Ask For More Ukraine Aid

Rents gone up. Housing prices have gone up. Raises have almost gone down when accounting for inflation. Supply shortages across the board. But we have $33 billion to spend on Ukraine but not US citizens.

Authored by Brett Wilkins: Peace advocates reacted to Thursday's request by U.S. President Joe Biden for $33 billion in additional aid to Ukraine by warning against what they called a dangerous escalation and by accusing the administration of misplaced priorities.

Biden is asking Congress for additional funding for war-ravaged Ukraine, including more than $20 billion in "security and military assistance," $8.5 billion in economic aid, and $3 billion in "humanitarian assistance." 

"It's not cheap. But caving to aggression is going to be more costly if we allow it to happen," said Biden. "We either back the Ukrainian people as they defend their country, or we stand by as the Russians continue their atrocities and aggression in Ukraine every day."

PayPal Blocks Multiple Alternative Media Figures Critical Of US Empire Narratives

“We’re living in an intellectual No-Fly Zone where online censorship of dissenting journalism has become the new norm. The US sanctions regime that is trying to starve Russia, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Cuba and Iran and over 25% of the world’s population is now targeting its own citizens”

By Caitlin Johnstone: In what appears to be yet another escalation in Silicon Valley’s redoubled efforts to quash dissident voices since the beginning of the Ukraine war, PayPal has just blocked the accounts of multiple alternative media voices who’ve been speaking critically against official US empire narratives. These include journalist and speaker Caleb Maupin, and Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod of MintPress News.

Just the other day MintPress published an excellent article by MacLeod titled “An Intellectual No-Fly Zone: Online Censorship of Ukraine Dissent Is Becoming the New Norm” documenting the many ways skepticism of the US government’s version of events in this war is being suppressed by Silicon Valley megacorporations, including financial censorship via the demonetization of YouTube videos that don’t regurgitate the imperial line on Ukraine.

Mercs In Ukraine Thank The Jewish Apartheid Regime Israel

Jewish mercs in Ukraine have thanked their anti-Gentile apartheid Regime “IsRealHell” for “helping us” fight the Russians.

By Asa Winstanley: Speaking Hebrew in a video posted online this week, three out of a group of around a dozen armed men in Ukrainian army uniforms offer their thanks.

“We want to say a huge thank you … to the Israeli government for helping us,” the first man says. “We’re fighting here against the Russians in this difficult war. Huge thanks.”

The unnamed fighters also thank Ukrainian Rabbi Moshe Azman, a controversial figure who claims to be the chief rabbi of Ukraine, although his position is disputed by another claimant.

The Greatest Trick Of All

'Only those of us who recognize the magic show as a magic show can hope to see the illusions for what they are.'

By James Corbett: Magic is the ability to make someone believe something that isn't true. It follows, then, that most great magicians are keen observers of human psychology and that magic routines are, at base, a skillfully arranged set of techniques for preying on our cognitive biases.

As impressive as the rabbit-from-hat illusions and the sleight-of-hand deceptions of the masters of stagecraft can be, however, these parlor tricks pale in comparison to the societal manipulations that are conducted by the masters of statecraft every day.

Case in point: martial law. I have long said that when martial law actually comes to the "free and democratic" West, people will be cheering it on.

Twitter, Free Speech And The Impact On Science

PP: Tonight, Chris dissects the Elon Musk purchase of Twitter and the hilarious if not troubling reaction by the unserious and triggered mini-tyrants working for Twitter and the universe of trolls all over social media. Should we laugh, or worry about the Republic and the people we call neighbors? How important is frees speech, especially when it comes to science, and your family's health? And as we can expect for every Peak LiveCast, we'll discuss the proposed policies destined to lead us down dark paths, and the bad actors pointing us down to disastrous outcomes. How do we fight back?

Follow The Science Lockdowns Drove 60,000 Children In The UK To Clinical Depression; Scientific Study Finds

More proof lockdown-advocates were on the wrong side of history...

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson: A new study published in the Royal Society Open Science journal found that lockdowns in the UK caused around 60,000 children to suffer clinical depression.

Researchers detected a 27.1 per cent prevalence of depression amongst their sample, a number significantly higher than would have occurred without lockdowns.

According to a report by the Telegraph, the percentage equates to about 60,000 extra kids who suffered clinical depression thanks to COVID-19 restrictions.

“After controlling for baseline scores and several school and pupil-level characteristics, depressive symptoms were higher in the COVID-19 group,” the study found.

“These findings demonstrate that the COVID-19 pandemic increased adolescent depressive symptoms beyond what would have likely occurred under non-pandemic circumstances.”

Figures show that 400,000 British children were referred to mental health specialists last year for things like eating disorders and self-harm.

Putin: Russia's Retaliatory Strike Will Be Lightning-Fast

RN: At a meeting of the council of legislators, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a statement regarding Russia's internal security in connection with its ongoing special military operation in Ukraine. Putin said, quote: If someone intends to intervene in the ongoing events from the outside, and creates unacceptable strategic threats for Russia, they should know that our retaliatory and counter strikes will be lightning fast. We have all the tools for this, such that no one can boast now. And we won't brag. We will use them if needed. And I want everyone to know about it. We have made all decisions on this matter.
