AMERICAN PROPAGANDA

China is rapidly replacing—or matching—Russia’s demonisation campaigns. In the usual US propaganda playbook mode of facilitating the injection of mental venoms, a whole country deemed an adversary by the US elites summed up in a singly evil leader. The apex of this disinformation approach was and remains anti-Stalinism, a short-hand designed to stand for anything relating to communism, the Soviet Union, and socialism.  In this episode of Newsbud, Peter Lee dissects the ways US policymakers —acting as usual on behalf of the 0.0001% controlling the American nation—are scheming to create an atmosphere of complete hostility toward China. If unchalenged, this will not end well.
