Defeating the trash talk in the media
US msm tells us that Washington must hold Russia, China, Iran and other “malign actors” to account. But when a school hooligan gets a whuppin, the hooligan does not get to hold the teacher to account.

The kind of warmongering from Breaking Defense, quoted below, is the main reason our world is unstable, unsafe and heading for disaster.
So what’s wrong with this idea of the US as world cop? What’s wrong is that WE are the hooligan, and the hooligan does not get to be the cop.
Firstly, our interventions are not justified and are in fact criminal. They kill 2 kinds of people: innocent civilians (often the majority) and people engaged in the defense of their country and its sovereignty. Both kinds of killing are criminal and immoral. But we are taught by role model to scoff at the idea of morality. We are taught subliminally to think of morality as religious thinking, and that puts it off limits, or so say the homicidal Neocons.
Further, it is based on a false and dangerous interpretation of the world, or “world view” that conditions you to accept murder and genocide as positive and beneficial, ie, part of national defense.
However, the world changed after Oct 7, 2022. Before that, our media, our churches, our institutions, all taught us, both directly and subliminally, that Israel is our most valuable ally in the Middle East (now commonly called “West Asia” by the intellectual class) and is, like us, a good guy.
And this despite the criminal, cynical mass murder of US service men on board the USS Liberty, an event that news services were warned not to mention and whose victims were ordered not to talk about. When it comes to Israel, there is no First Amendment. (In this context, my article explaining why the vast majority of US federal officials are in fact foreign agents, is instructive).
The “news” is one big trash bin designed to empty into your brain.
This makes you a prisoner of your media and the government that controls it. In this respect, our situation is like that of Willy Sutton, who spent years working, along with other inmates, to free himself from a high security prison using kitchen spoons to dig their way out. You as a “news” consumer are in a sense buried under a heap of toxic trash that is being dumped onto you daily and it is your task to free yourself and get out from under the trash.
While it is true that conservatives, notably the MAGA group around Trump, purport to be fighting the disinformation, and much of the overburden of lies is being questioned, these people are, while “freeing” us, also adding a lot of disinformation of their own. After all, almost no political activists in the US (with the likely exception of the LaRouche group) are dedicated to combatting the massive overburden of disinformation that supports the monstrous edifice of the unipolar world order, ie, US hegemony, and, if we wish to free our minds of toxic waste, then tearing down that unipolar edifice must be the end target of our efforts.
Below is an example of a highly toxic article appearing in the online publication Breaking Defense. Remember that the US has no real defense policy at all, and that the weaponry in its arsenal is intended not to defend America but rather to defend the dangerous doctrine of the so-called “Defense” Department, known informally as the Wolfowitz Doctrine, which explicitly states that the main task of US “defense” is to preserve US dominance (hegemony). Yet the Constitution says the task of US defense is to defend the States against invasion.
DUBAI — The rapid escalation of violence by Iranian proxies against the US and Israel in the Middle East since Oct. 7 is the result of a failure of deterrence that reaches back into years of US foreign policy shifts and the lack of direct action against Iran for its aggressive behavior in that time, according to former top US general in the Middle East and other experts.
[Woa! Hold it right there! So much fakery here it is dazzling. First off, the Iran-supported Middle East (or West Asian) groups that oppose the criminal, genocidal state of “israel” are not proxies for Iran. They are independent but since they share Iran’s world view, they may appear like proxies. So why do Neocon Zionists (all Neocons are Zionists) call them that? The reason is simple: the Neocons’ ultimate aim is a destructive war on Iran. If the disinforming Neocons in media can succeed in convincing enough gullible American news consumers that these anti-Zionist groups are Iranian proxies, then anything these resistance groups do can be blamed on Iran. Let’s look at an analogy to see the insanity of incriminating Iran with the aim of building a casus belli so as to attack it:
Suppose Russia took the view that, since Ukraine is a US-NATO proxy (which it in fact is), Russia has the legal right to attack and/or invade the US and any NATO country that poses a threat to it.
But Russia, unlike its Western counterpart, the combined West, is wise and intelligent enough to realize that, should it attack the West, that would trigger WW III, which could easily become nuclear and finish off planet earth. So, at least so far, it refrains from this insanity.
Yet it is clear that the US Neocons are in fact building a case against not Hezbollah, the Houthis, Kataib Hezbollah or their splinter groups, with a view to directly attacking Iran, something Israel has yearned for for decades, because the Iranian leaders are implacable opponents of the Israeli criminal enterprise – but the consequences of such an attack are unthinkable. For one thing, Iran has already warned that if anyone attacks Iran, they will launch missile attacks and destroy Tel Aviv and Haifa. If that were to happen, there are other groups that may be emboldened to further attack Israel, whose very existence would be in question at that point.]
[Another fake is the statement that the “violence” of the Iran-linked groups is a result of our lack of deterrence, ie, “direct action against Iran for its aggressive behavior,”
That’s three points of disinformation. 1. Accusation of violence, and 2. Deflection of the blame for the US’ own brutal criminality in West Asia onto the resistance, which is not limited to Iran and friends but is mostly Arab in its origin. 3. The false reduction of the resistance to Iran by use of the weasel words “action against Iran for its aggressive behavior” deceitfully suggests that all the resistance in West Asia is due to Iran’s actions and that without Iran, there would be no resistance to the abuses and atrocities against the Palestinians!? How truly stupid. Not only Iran, but the entire world Muslim population is seething with rage at Israel due to that country’s atrocities on the Palestinians.
Re. 1: NO, the so-called “violence” is not any more violent than the violence of the US and its allies against countries that refuse to kiss butt in Washington. The implication is that these groups are violent terrorists, which dismisses their true nature as resistance groups. No Western mainstream “journalist” would dare call them resistance groups because that would be a confession that the US-led West is creating situations so inhuman that they must be resisted. To admit that there are actually resistors would be a confession that WE are the terrorists. After all, the US has killed an estimated 20 million mostly civilians in its wars and other interventions since the end of WWII and it has aided and abetted Israel in its 7 decades of ethnic cleansing, murder and atrocities against the Palestinians, which led up to the current horrific genocide so obvious and severe that the ICJ, which has always towed the US imperial party line, has made an about-face and practically admits that Israel is committing genocide. With Israel’s crimes and its own declarations of its intent to exterminate these people in full view and earshot of the world, the ICJ had no other choice but to admit that it too had seen and heard what everyone else had seen and heard, and it all added up to genocide. Now that the world knows, Israel has no off-ramp left.
Re. 2: The very restrained response of the resistance groups to the tormenters is nothing in comparison to senseless US military actions in West Asia. Any author pretending that the Iran-linked groups deserve to be punished is a big fat hypocrite. The US and its criminal ally Israel should be punished and the resistance is simply providing that punishment, nothing more. The US has always stood behind Israel even despite the latter’s 70 year killing spree. It is time for the US to get out. Then we can talk about reparations.
Re.3: Iran is not responsible for any of the reprisals of Arab groups on the illegally trespassing and thieving US forces in West Asia. The Arabs, not the Iranians, are the recipients of most of the abuses and atrocities committed by Israel and the US. The desire to punish Iran is a Zionist idea. The US has nothing against Iran and is not being harmed by it. But of course, all US officials are mere puppets of Israel, as I pointed out here.
“I think the problem with all of these strikes (in Iraq, Syria and the Red Sea) is that we have failed to directly hold Iran accountable,” Gen. Joseph Votel, former US Central Command chief, told Breaking Defense. “We need to strike back at the groups perpetrating these attacks, but we also have to recognize that Iran is behind all these attacks, and we must use all forms of national power to hold them accountable.”
[The perpetrator being punished is not in a position to hold the punisher accountable! When I was in grade school, if it was your turn to be paddled, you leaned against the blackboard with your backside to the teacher and got your whuppin. You did NOT hold the teacher accountable! It’s gotta be that way. Iran is the teacher! WE are getting a well-deserved whuppin]

Yesterday’s air strike update (sorry, ran out of time yesterday)

“Iskander” dismantled the “fat German” into atoms. SVO summary for the morning of February 1
Information has been confirmed that the Russian Iskander-M missile destroyed a launcher of the German IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system near Kharkov along with a radar station. Footage of the destruction of the “German” has already spread across the Internet. They clearly show that the Ukrainian military tried to camouflage the launch site so it could not be noticed from the air. But the reconnaissance groups of the Russian special forces worked well, confirming the aerial reconnaissance information and giving the exact coordinates of the target. The blow was not long in coming. The Russian Iskander hit the target, atomizing the German air defense system priced at 90 million euros.

02/01/2024
Strikes were carried out on Ukraine on the night of February 1, 2024: explosions were heard in several areas. Thanks to high-precision strikes carried out by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (RF Armed Forces) using missiles and drones, it is possible to hit Ukrainian military targets located even in the deep rear.
Several powerful explosions occurred in Kharkov
Several explosions were heard tonight in the city of Kharkov in eastern Ukraine. Eyewitnesses reported the destruction of several military and infrastructure facilities, without providing additional details.
TASS writes about the night explosions with reference to the Strana publication. However, local authorities have not yet commented on anything.
Information about the explosions is confirmed by the Ukrainian TV channel “Public”, which RIA Novosti refers to.
From 23:37 Moscow time, an air raid alert was declared in the Kharkov oblast.
In Ukraine, explosions were reported in Nikolaev
The Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform reported about explosions in the city of Nikolaev.
“Two explosions were heard in Nikolaev,” the message says.
The city also sounds an air raid warning.
Damage to an infrastructure facility in the Dnepropetrovsk oblast was reported
The Dnepropetrovsk oblast came under fire, and infrastructure was damaged. This was announced by the head of the local regional council Nikolai Lukashuk on Wednesday.
It is alleged that as a result of the strikes in the Marganets and Pokrovsk communities, outbuildings, an enterprise and an infrastructure facility were damaged. It does not specify what object was hit.
Earlier in the day, an air raid alert was in effect throughout Ukraine. According to Ukrainian media, explosions occurred in the city of Krivoy Rog in the Dnepropetrovsk oblast of Ukraine.
Since October 2022, the Russian armed forces began to strike military command and control facilities and related energy and communications facilities of Ukraine. As Russian President Vladimir Putin explained, this was a response to the terrorist actions of the Kyiv regime, in particular to the terrorist attack that was carried out on the Crimean Bridge.

We know what the problem is but how do we fix it?? The MSM will not tell the truth. WE need an article which could be spread all over America. First a war with Russia will be a DISASTER. Second Russia has NEVER been at war with the USA, but we have fought wars with about q10 countries. Germany lost 95 % of their troops fighting, the Russians 4,500,000.
We lost 275,000 troops in Enderurope. Come on America, become friends with Russia. Forget about what the JEWS want.

IF back during the American Revolutionary War against Britain - Catherine the Great of Russia sent the requested 20,000 Russian Army troops to assist Britain - the 'Colonists' lose that war.
IF Hitler didn't invade Russia and greatly weaken Germany's forces due to tremendous losses - how do the Allies do again

Underwater drone attack destroys Russian ship off Crimea
Me
I have 2 comments: we can now look for more massive missile and drone attacks in retaliation for this. Elsewhere it’s been reported that the attacked ship faced swarms of unmanned boats and there were simply too many to deal with.
We can expect the Russians to seek and find ways to deal with more attacks with swarms of drones, both at sea and in the air.
We recently read that drone swarms are killing Russians on the front lines. Prior to that, Ukraine had not used swarms at the front. The Russians lack equipment and tactics to defend against swarms at the front. The Russians will need to adapt to this new tactic by scattering their troops and equipment instead of clustering them as they now do, and by developing a technology that effectively combats drone swarms at the front lines.

Great essay, Don!
American neo-cons and their neo-liberal fellow travelers think that Americans are so dumbed down and drugged up that they will
believe any narrative coming from them. Remember the lies of Tony. Blairs' Tag team war criminals Dubya Bush and Cheney for the second Iraq war. Beyond the non-existent WMDs was the 'Axis of Evil' tag put on Iran, North Korea, Libya, Syria et.al. Those Americans who had memory loss forgot about Dubya's father, George H.W. Bush, who, because he was falling in the polls like Netanyahu and Biden, launched Operation Desert Storm to gain the upper hand. War is big business. As the old saying goes: "fool me once shame on you; fool me ad infinitum, shame on me".
