Media is the best tool for negative narrative building in this age of morons that are least interested in digging down the apparent value of information. Though we are living in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the masses’ intelligence is compromised for lack of interest in what is happening around, or blindfolded by favouritism. What about the governments and blocs that are formed and built-up purely on vested interests of the lobbies in the governments, especially in the developed world. Lobbies or mafias? Both are same for the world powers that have imposed their malafide narratives at their will whenever and wherever they desire. Only objectives were to curb the emerging threats for their posed global hierarchy, to eliminate contrary and dissenting voices, and to capture the resources. Global media served like an obedient partner.
Recent is the case of Russia-Ukraine war. We have seen only one narrative that held Russia responsible for the “invasion” into Ukraine. The US and Western media have been telling the stories narrated or planted by the US-NATO countries. None of the global media outlets described the reasons for the interventions the US-NATO nations were engaged in there for about two decades despite repeated reservations of the Russian Federation. Shall I conclude that the media don’t want us to know the truth on Russia-Ukraine war causes, challenges, threats and consequences?
Here are two main things about the war in Ukraine over the last 14 months. First, the war in Ukraine is a war for national sovereignty. Not an indirect battle between superpowers, no. The United States supports Ukraine because the United States is fighting for democracy. But the United States itself is by no means at war with Russia. And secondly, as we have heard more than once, Ukraine is winning. Ukrainian troops are distinguished by their bravery and nobility. And the Russians are evil and incompetent.
Now, we are very familiar with these theses because we have heard them every day since last February. These are the two main themes of the news about the war in Ukraine. Both are as far from the truth as possible if we go through the meager stories available. We know this because late last week leaked intelligence about this war began to appear on social media. Ukraine is losing: seven Ukrainians killed for every one Russian soldier, Ukraine’s air defence system completely destroyed. And the Biden administration is well aware of this. Washington is in a panic and has chosen not to let the public know. At the same time the Pentagon is lying knowingly about the diminished combat power of the Russian Federation. But what will the US say now that we know they lied?
“It is impossible to recall a single instance that more vividly reveals the real function of the major US media corporations than what has just happened. If you are a true journalist striving for transparency, shedding light on the lies of the most powerful statesmen to the people and informing the public,” Glenn Greenwald, host of “System Update” on Rumble, told Fox News.
Now the American lies about the war in Ukraine have been exposed and Washington’s credibility has been undermined. It is not clear how the American media can hide before the American people and the rest of the world the fact that the US is in direct war with Russia whether you support it or not? The American media hid the government’s lies about the Vietnam War when it claimed the US was winning, when in fact Washington was doing poorly. But the big American and Western media corporations only work for their government, and that is what they are really committed to. If the country is built on lies, nothing good will come of it. Truth must come first, and the independent media is definitely a living example of this.
The secret files were shared with his online game-chat friends by a young member of the military base back in late February. Authorities detained Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the US Air National Guard’s 102nd Reconnaissance Unit in Massachusetts. Teixeira ran a small, 20-30 persons online group on the popular Discord platform, as reported. The group consisted mainly of young people and teenagers who came together out of a shared love of guns, racist online memes and video games. What was leaked online? US military intelligence reports used by the authorities. In fact, advice and information for information that authorities are free to consider or ignore when setting policy.
Unlike previous leaks, the documents are reportedly the most recent, some dating back to March this year. What has become known from these documents? Detailed reports on the preparation and equipping of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which is expected from week to week. The documents contain maps as well as data on when units are ready and list all the tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery provided to Ukraine by Western allies. American figures on Ukrainian combat casualties are reported around 124,000-131,000 including killed and wounded.
One of the documents states that Ukraine lacks the strength for a large and successful offensive and can only result in “moderate territorial gains” and heavy casualties. US military intelligence describes “wild scenarios” for the situation, including the death of Vladimir Putin or Zelensky, a military coup in Russia, a Ukrainian strike against the Kremlin and so on. Intelligence does not assess the likelihood of these events and consequences, but only suggests options for commanders and politicians to respond. The documents show that US intelligence intercepted Korean emails discussing the possibility of munitions deliveries to Ukraine. In addition, the US appears to be monitoring Ukraine’s top military and political leadership to get a clear picture of Ukraine’s military strategy.
Meanwhile, we see consistent reluctance from the frontline allies to deliver their sophisticated artillery, jets and tanks to Ukraine, even from the US – the direct stakeholder in the war.
