When the Lies Come Home

After lying for months, the media are preparing the public for Ukraine’s military collapse.

Diogenes, one of the ancient world’s illustrious philosophers, believed that lies were the currency of politics, and those lies were the ones he sought to expose and debase. To make his point, Diogenes occasionally carried a lit lantern through the streets of Athens in the daylight. If asked why, Diogenes would say he was searching for an honest man.

Finding an honest man today in Washington, D.C., is equally challenging. Diogenes would need a Xenon Searchlight in each hand.

Still, there are brief moments of clarity inside the Washington establishment. Having lied prolifically for months to the American public about the origins and conduct of the war in Ukraine, the media are now preparing the American, British, and other Western publics for Ukraine’s military collapse. It is long overdue.

The Western media did everything in its power to give the Ukrainian defense the appearance of far greater strength than it really possessed. Careful observers noted that the same video clips of Russian tanks under attack were shown repeatedly. Local counterattacks were reported as though they were operational maneuvers.

Russian errors were exaggerated out of all proportion to their significance. Russian losses and the true extent of Ukraine’s own losses were distorted, fabricated, or simply ignored. But conditions on the battlefield changed little over time. Once Ukrainian forces immobilized themselves in static defensive positions inside urban areas and the central Donbas, the Ukrainian position was hopeless. But this development was portrayed as failure by the Russians to gain “their objectives.”

Ground-combat forces that immobilize soldiers in prepared defenses will be identified, targeted, and destroyed from a distance. When persistent overhead intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets, whether manned or unmanned, are linked to precision guided-strike weapons or modern artillery systems informed by accurate targeting data, “holding ground” is fatal to any ground force. This is all the more true in Ukraine, because it was apparent from the first action that Moscow focused on the destruction of Ukrainian forces, not on the occupation of cities or the capture of Ukrainian territory west of the Dnieper River.

The result has been the piecemeal annihilation of Ukrainian forces. Only the episodic infusion of U.S. and allied weapons kept Kiev’s battered legions in the field; legions that are now dying in great numbers thanks to Washington’s proxy war.

All avoidable, if Brandon had "Loved" Putin as much as Trump did. And buying oil from Putin, like Brandon did, is not Trump Love. I mean they told us Trump loved Putin, right?

Russian military did not collapse in 1941, 1942 .. France military did not collapse in 1914 .. England military did not collapse in 1941 either ..

As long as Ukrainian are willing to fight .. this will be a long war

I believe the more interesting point revealed by the Ukraine post above isn't about Ukraine, at all.
It's about the main stream media gaslighting the US public. It's rapidly coming to an end.
The media gaslighting the US public?...Name one time that's happened in the recent past...oh, wait...

I don't see MSM gaslighting US Public as ending .. still seeing all the high prices being blamed on Putin and Trump ..

FWIW - the battle is heavy in Eastern Ukraine, even if the numbers of dead is less than WWI each day .. it is not a good situation by any means .. this war is really hurting many .. wondering why Xi greenlighted it ..

Oh, it will, so very soon. The public doesn't believe the liars and deceivers in Washington, DC.
They're also beginning to suspect the mainstream media doesn't have the public interest as a priority
America is awakening (a bit too slowly for my satisfaction, but patience goes a LONG way) more every day.

Change a few words and this is what the press and government told and still tell us about covid and the shots.

China has the digital currency system all figured out. Our government is chomping at the bit to have the same type of system...

The evidence is all over the place

.
Dear Patriots,
The real hard and often scientific evidence on any number of topics is all around us. It is spun and hidden by the left, who have managed to get control of most of the megaphones. That is why we ask you to share and talk about the information we point you to in these newsletters.
The left has demonstrated many times in the past year that they are excited to silence and jail anyone who gets between them and their lying, hateful, destructive agenda.


1- Read this summary of some of the evidence totally left out of the January 6 circus hearings.

Margot Cleveland at The Federalist

Jan. 6 Committee Ignores Clear Evidence Of Broken Election Laws

QUOTE: In its attempt to blame former President Donald Trump for the crimes committed on January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol, House Democrats have spent the week focused on Trump's unsupported claims of widespread election fraud. The Jan. 6 select committee and the legacy media outlets promoting the show trial completely ignore, however, the verifiable evidence of systemic violations of election law, illegal voting, and the constitutionally deficient execution of the November 2020 election—including issues Trump challenged following the election.

Georgia provides a peach of an example. President Biden won Georgia and the state's 16 electoral votes by a margin of 11,779 individual votes, but before the state certified the results of the November 2020 election, Trump challenged the outcome, raising several issues both in and out of court. Trump hammered accusations of fraud in Fulton County, claiming counterfeit ballots secreted in suitcases and vote-flipping by Dominion Voting Systems gave Biden the victory. But Trump also contested the Georgia results based on evidence indicating that tens of thousands of illegal votes were improperly counted.

While Trump's legal team argued illegal votes in some 30-plus categories were improperly included in the final election tally, violations of Section 21-2-218 of the Georgia election code alone closed the gap between the two presidential candidates. That section provides that state "residents must vote in the county in which they reside, unless they changed their residence within 30 days of the election" and "outside of the 30-day grace period, if people vote in a county in which they no longer reside, 'their vote in that county would be illegal.'"


2- We are great fans of Dr. Simone Gold who has been valiant in her effort to inform people about the true science surrounding all things related to Covid-CCP.

For that effort, the left is now putting her in prison. Please join us in praying for Dr. Gold as she navigates this horrible injustice by the United States government.

The Gateway Pundit

Dr. Simone Gold Sentenced to Prison For Speaking with Megaphone Inside US Capitol on January 6

QUOTE: Dr. Simone Gold on Thursday was sentenced to two months in prison for speaking with a megaphone inside of the US Capitol on January 6.In March Dr. Simone Gold pleaded guilty to a class A misdemeanor count, "entering and remaining in a restricted building charge."

Dr. Simone Gold was in Washington DC on January 5th and 6th and spoke on the 5th at Freedom Plaza. Dr. Simone later entered the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and delivered her same medical speech with a bullhorn from inside the U.S. Capitol.

Dr. Simone committed no acts of violence. She only wanted to push her medical opinion on the coronavirus. For this Dr. Gold was placed in the front row of the FBI's most wanted release.

"I was paid a visit by the FBI in a Roger Stone kind of takedown moment, which is quite uncalled for. You know, if anybody wanted to get a hold of me, they could have picked up the phone and called. I'm very easy to find. But there were literally twenty guys with guns blazing, [and they] broke down my door," Gold narrated.


3- Masks were never about health. They are an outward symbol of fear and control, forced on us by leftist politicians and unelected "health experts".

Here is the real science about how worthless masks are for health.

Brownstone Institute

More Bad News for the Mask Cult

QUOTE: If masks or mask mandates worked, wouldn't we see hard evidence of it by now, you know, more than two years in? If there were such evidence, wouldn't the powers-that-be be shouting it from the rooftops? Instead, they've been pretty quiet because of charts like this, which used the CDC's own data to compare Covid spread in counties that had mask mandates against counties that did not. The result? No discernible difference.

Thankfully, the tide is turning. Key research and data gathering is being conducted and released that continue to put a stake in the heart of forced masking. Here's a sampling of the latest:

A University of Louisville study released in May 2022 found that mask mandates and greater compliance resulting from them "did not predict lower growth rates when community spread was low (minima) or high (maxima)." The study, which used CDC data across several seasons, found that mask usage and mandates "are not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 spread among US states."

Remember that CDC study purporting to show that school masking was effective? Did you wonder what the results would have been if someone had conducted a higher quality study over a greater sample size and period of time? Ambarish Chandra of University of Toronto and Dr. Tracy Hoeg of University of California, Davis did exactly that with this Lancet study titled, "Revisiting Pediatric COVID-19 Cases in Counties With and Without School Mask Requirements—United States, July 1—October 20 2021." Their results: "... no significant relationship between mask mandates and case rates." Color me shocked.


4- Elections matter. Who you vote for matters. It matters to children of all races and backgrounds. Vote wisely.

American Greatness

Glenn Youngkin Updates Virginia State Budget to Restore School Choice Program

QUOTE: In Virginia, Governor Glenn Youngkin (R-Va.), took a major step towards restoring parental rights in education, announcing that he would restore the state's school choice program and expand education opportunities for parents throughout the commonwealth.

As reported by Fox News, Governor Youngkin made the announcement on Wednesday, releasing a statement that detailed his "38 budget amendments" to two different budget bills.

"We're ... restoring educational freedom by protecting the education scholarship tax credits which expand parental choice," Youngkin's statement declared. The amendment in question will remove the reduction in the cap for the state's Education Improvement Scholarship Tax Credit (EISTC), a program which offers support for low- and middle-income families. Families who utilize the program are given greater opportunities to send their children to school by using private scholarships from private organizations.


5- America no longer leads the world in goodness and common sense. There is massive evidence that the Clot Shot is not only unnecessary and ineffective but dangerous to children.

Jordan Schachtel on Substack

America is now the only country in the world that authorizes COVID shots for infants

QUOTE: It appears that the United States just became the only country in the world to "vaccinate" babies and toddlers with COVID injections.

Despite what you are reading in the press, the U.S. seems to be, as of Friday, the only country in the world to partake in experimental COVID therapeutics for infants.

On Friday, the FDA authorized mRNA COVID shots (both Pfizer and Moderna) under emergency use authorization for children under 5 years old, all the way down to 6 months of age. As you'll see in a moment, this is unprecedented anywhere in the world.

The approval made its way through the halls of the federal bureaucracy, regardless of any studies showing a positive benefit for injecting young children with mRNA shots, which, even in adults, do not effectively prevent coronavirus infection.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that NATO (US) is poking the bear in hopes of a wider conflict. Dangerous stuff, but those in power (Biden/Dems/WEF types) will do anything to keep it.



Baltic EU/NATO member Lithuania has implemented a ban on all rail transit goods going to Russia's far-western exclave of Kaliningrad, after transport authorities initially announced the provocative measure on Friday. "The EU sanctions list notably includes coal, metals, construction materials and advanced technology, and Alikhanov said the ban would cover around 50% of the items that Kaliningrad imports," Reuters wrote.



This has given way to fears of panic buying breaking out in Kaliningrad Oblast, which is Russian sovereign territory on the Baltic Sea, but which is sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland, and is thus reliant on overland shipping for passage via its EU neighbors.

Money to be made in wars. That is one of the reasons why they wanted Trump out so bad. Things were too peaceful.

Yep, agree. The MIC has to be fed.

But I think it’s more about power and the socialist “world government” types sensing they’re losing it and need the distraction as well as the “emergency authority” that will surely come from it. Most have finally caught on to the plandemic by now, they need another crisis
