How Western Brains Are Washed

Would be proud of the Western presstitudes: Dr Joseph Goebbels.

First comes the “Ukrainian source”. The Ukrainian source is 100% propaganda, but it appears in a newspaper, so it looks like “news”. For example, something like this. This way, the desperate and increasingly more depressed Ukrainian readers get to read their fantasy about the 19 destroyed or damaged Russian was airplanes, and it might make their life less miserable for an hour or two. Hope does spring eternal. Notice that two airports should have been attacked, but no details about any concrete airplane damage in Engels . It does not matter. “Ukrainian sources says” is now a legitimate expression. Very often, though, this little, wannabe objective disclaimer will not make it to the title.

Then, a Western source picks the garbage up. This UK rag starts by discounting (in the title at least), the “19” number, but it still reports the propaganda about the 6 destroyed airplane. They report it with some explosions, because the Western audience loves explosions. It makes them think what the rag newspaper says must be true. The destruction is given in the title as a fact. No mention of “Ukrainian sources say”.

Alas, at times some other Western propaganda outlet, which struggles to coordinate with the other propaganda outlets, will manage to ruin the party. All those explosions, but no sign of damaged Russian airplanes! Ouch! And this “no damage” assessment concerns not only the two airports of the Ukrainian original propaganda, but also other two. Grand total: four airports attacked, at great expense of scarce and irreplaceable missiles, but no real damage happened.

But hey, you have the explosions. And the title. Things must be going well for “us”, then…

It is surprising that this keeps happening even as many of the Western presstitudes are now forced to admit that the situation for THE Ukraine is dire, and that they lack everything (I do not mean honesty and decency; I mean guns, ammos, rockets, missiles, and armoured vehicles of all sorts). You would say that the presstitudes would now want to make their readers gradually aware of the situation on the ground. But no, even the pieces of reality must be interspersed with propaganda like it’s 2022, probably in order to make the Western reader unaware that he has, in fact, been lied to all the time.

You will notice here, as in many other cases, that there is no centralised propaganda control, as in Dr Goebbels’ time. There is, however, a complete ideological (and financial) alignment among the presstitudes. They all see Putin as the devil because he doesn’t like their “gay” cousin, and they all have to put up the facade of the blue and yellow flag heroically fighting and almost winning – even if they are losing badly – because otherwise the Ukraine supporters would immediately stop clicking their articles, or posting them on Facebook and other social media, whence 70% of the clicks originate. It is this alignment of ideological stance and financial interest that makes the wall of propaganda in the West so robust, and almost impervious to the harshest wake up calls.

This is how they wash your brain. Or, at least, they try to.

  1. The level of lying in the western press, vis a vis the Ukrainian war, is beyond belief; and it isn’t just the Sun. All the MSM are lying. The only way you will find reasonable commentary is on various Youtube outlets, which reveal that there are dissident (i.e., sensible, realistic) voices even amongst E.U. and U.S. politicians, although not, it seems, in the U.K. It is difficult to believe that the lying can be sustained for much longer, but perhaps I am being overly optimistic.

    • In the UK you have Alexander Mercouris.
      I have two uses for him:
      If I want to sleep I leave the speed at 1. His extremely slow, monotonous voice is ideal after dinner.
      If I want to hear what he has to say I put the speed at 1.75 and try to ignore the continuous ticks and nervous itching, the noises, the doors opening and shutting, and the barking dog. He is clearly an enemy of headphones, though he has them when he appears on the “Duran” channel.
      The value is not necessarily in what he says (he takes 100 minutes everyday in the evening to repeat what I have read on Telegram during the day), but in the absolutely exact “backstage” information he gets from very influential and competent viewers, stuff which you will not find on Telegram.

    • For the first year or so of the war I used to follow Mercouris daily; as also, The Duran, Redacted, et al., and was particularly interested in the input from retired U.S. Colonel (or General?) Douglas MacGregor. However, as their regular predictions of the ending of the war ‘within c. three months’ remained unfulfilled, I eventually gave up. I do agree, however, that Mercouris’s inside info. makes him a very valuable commentator, despite his faults of presentation which you describe so amusingly and accurately.

      I receive daily emails from Russia Today, which, though clearly prejudiced, regularly includes stories that the UK, E.U. and U.S. try to conceal. There are also some Indian news outlets (Hindustan Times. etc.) which shine a different light on what is happening in Ukraine and elsewhere.

      Thanks for the ref. to Telegram. I must give it a try.
