Prostitutes of the Press

by Stephen Lendman

Western MSM operate as fake news ministries of truth in nations where they're located.

They're bribed with big bucks to lie and mass-deceive by sticking exclusively to the fabricated official narrative.

On major world and national issues, what's reported on TV, radio or in print is based on state-approved talking points.

Orwell long ago explained today's reality, his no longer fiction dystopian "1984" novel saying the following:

"The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation." 

"These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy."

"They are deliberate exercises in doublethink."

Orwell's Ministry of Truth was all about controlling the message, eliminating whatever conflicts with it, memory holes used for this purpose.

What's suppressed is "whirled away (in) enormous furnaces…devoured by flames," Orwell, adding:

"(T)here were the directing brains who co-ordinated the whole effort and laid down policy which made it necessary that this fragment of the past should be preserved, that one falsified, and the other rubbed out of existence."

No memory holes are needed today throughout the decadent, depraved 

West.

MSM operate as willing co-conspirators in support of manipulating the public mind with rubbish unfit to print or report electronically.

A daily diet of fake news over the real thing includes drug pushing by heavily promoting health-destroying kill shots, the scourge of Nazism in Ukraine and use of its criminal class for perpetual war on Russia because it's free from hegemon USA control.

Truth and full disclosure are mortal enemies of peace, equity, justice, imperial rampaging and the rule of law.

So MSM are used to suppress what conflicts with the fabricated official narrative in support of hegemon USA-dominated NATO's war on humanity domestically and worldwide.

Russia and China are targeted for regime change because they alone stand in the way of the US war party's drive for unchallenged hegemony by a policy of perpetual war-making on invented enemies.

Throughout the US/West, free and open societies, including democracy as it should be, are virtually banned.

Nor do their ruling regimes tolerate these notions anywhere, targeting them for elimination where exist.

Yet state-approved MSM-proliferated fake news, information and opinion pretend otherwise.

Turning reality on its head and trampling on it, they pretend that Nazi-infested Ukraine is democratic, that its battered and degraded military is defeating overwhelmingly superior Russian firepower.

And well over $100 billion worth of weapons, munitions and equipment supplied to Ukrainian Nazis by US/Western regimes since 2014 were largely destroyed by Russia or resold by Kiev kleptocrats for self-enrichment.

Unable to defeat Russia's military superiority on the battlefield, regime troops largely focus on terror-shelling of its residential areas in Donetsk, Lugansk and elsewhere to kill, injure and terrorize noncombatants in harm's way.

Yet US/Western regimes, Kiev Nazis and their MSM press agents falsely blame Russia for war crimes committed against the state and its people.

There's been no ambiguity about the ability of Russian forces to demilitarize and deNazify Ukraine from day-one of its liberating SMO.

And sanctions war on Russia by US/Western regimes is deindustrializing Europe as planned by the empire of lies, while leaving the Russian Federation largely unscathed. 

Separately on Wednesday, Sergey Lavrov stressed the following:

Hegemon USA-dominated Western regimes "closed ranks" against Russia.

"Their mentality of domination" is hard-wired with no signs of "moderat(ing)."

Russia is "at war with the collective West led by" nuclear armed and recklessly dangerous USA.

"China is next in line."

"It poses the most formidable and systemic longterm challenge and is the only country capable of surpassing (hegemon USA) in almost all areas" to eventually become the dominant world power politically, economically, financially and militarily.

The notion has both wings of the US war party planning for war on a nation it cannot win.

Yet with Taiwan as an invented pretext like Ukraine is used against Russia, the threat of war on China by the empire of lies is ominously real. 

Built on a one-China foundation a half century ago, normalized Sino/US relations no longer exist.

A state of war exists by hegemon USA against nonthreatening Russia, China earmarked for regime change by its war party in similar fashion.

Brave new dystopian world order proponent/notorious international con man, George Soros, once said we need a global sheriff.

Did he have hegemon USA or himself in mind by enforcing a policy of perpetual war on humanity?
