Caitlin Johnstone: US Officials Admit They’re Literally Just Lying To The Public About Russia

I thought I would share with you all a concise write-up by Caitlin Johnstone on the next level madness that we have now entered in the propaganda/information war with Russia. US officials along with the US media have actually acknowledged to the American public that the news that is being reported on the present situation in Ukraine is indeed often entirely fabricated, but that this form of “reporting” has become a necessary form of “defense” against Russia.

The topsy-turvy logic in all of this is that by claiming that Russia is committing crimes within Ukraine that they in fact have not committed, it is assumed that Russia is prevented from committing those very crimes that they are being actively blamed for. (They conveniently do not bring up who in fact is committing these atrocities in Ukraine.)

That is, we have now entered the final phase of Orwellian newspeak, and reality is now going to be entirely shaped by what the US State wishes you to think. We have reached a point where Russia is now going to be guilty of any crime the US claims it to have committed. WHETHER THEY HAVE COMMITTED THAT CRIME OR NOT will now be irrelevant.

If the crime is not ultimately committed (such as the false-flag that the US told us was supposed to occur in Donbass) it is because of the bravery and courage of American defenses who have managed to thwart these “future” crimes by putting it out there in the matrix as a way of saying “we know what is your next move and are ready.” (Not possibly that the US may in fact be behind such false-flag machinations. I will be publishing a paper shortly on NATO and CIA’s role in false flag operations post-WWII known as Operation Gladio.)

This is being presently sold to the American public as if we have just discovered “truth serum” or a way to foretell the future. In fact, it is simply creating a false reality, a reality that is being shaped by the authorities of the State.

We would be fools to think that the American people will not be next on the list. If thoughtcrime becomes an accepted form of defense against perceived foreign threats, it will eventually become acceptable against perceived domestic threats.

Within this new matrix, the State can no longer in fact commit a crime, whether it be against a foreign body or its own people. If truth and justice are now to be held hostage by the State, it will be forever justified in all its future actions since it will act as its own arbiter and judge.

There will be nothing allowed to resist the narrative and the will of the State, The new reality will be the reality chosen for you; the enemy will also be chosen for you, and will be an eternal enemy until it has been entirely destroyed.

We will have entered Orwell’s world of 1984 where “WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.”

As for ourselves, we will be abiding slaves to such a system and will commit to the slavery of our children and our children’s children, if we allow ourselves to go down this path…But it remains a choice. There is still time to wake up.
