JOHN VAROLI—What’s most shocking and perplexing, however, are those colleagues who don’t merely remain silent, but rather, vigorously join in the persecution of dissenters. I suspect this is because we are reminders of their own cowardice and betrayal.
And so it transpired last week that an old journalist friend reached out to me. His goal was to shame me for being skeptical of Big Brother’s narrative on Russia. Even though I have a university degree in the study of Russia and Ukraine, as well as 30 years work experience with both countries, my research and opinions make him uneasy.
I thought long and hard about doing this, and then decided to do it. Below you’ll find our correspondence. I take privacy very seriously and always protect the identity of my sources and companions. So, to protect his privacy, let’s call him “S”.

Why Biden Doesn’t Want Americans to Visit Russia
27 minutes readJOHN VAROLI—In their effort to support the liberal globalist war machine, major western media unabashedly fabricate their coverage of Russia, a country that they hate because of its defense of national sovereignty and traditional values.
In the realm of western media lies, life in Russia is akin to North Korea — poverty is rampant and economic collapse imminent under the pressure of sanctions; secret police scour dark empty streets for hapless victims to drag off to slave labor camps; the Kremlin arbitrarily invades neighboring nations “to rebuild the Soviet empire”; and every Russian wants to escape and flee to the West.

Things That Have Been Discredited During The Destruction Of Gaza
20 minutes readCAITLIN JOHNSTONE—The US vetoed multiple UN ceasefire resolutions, then put forward a fake “ceasefire” resolution that didn’t actually demand a ceasefire and accused Russia and China of “sabotaging” peace when they vetoed it, then an actual ceasefire resolution was passed which the US abstained from voting on rather than vetoing in order to save face over its Russia/China moralizing, and then the US declared (100% falsely) that the UN ceasefire resolution which passed is “non-binding”.

THE WEST & UKRAINE: DOUBLING DOWN TOWARD ARMAGEDDON
15 minutes readAEARNUR—War and ever more war is the answer to all those who call for peace through negotiations. As the puppet of the western powers Zelensky obeys the command to avoid negotiations with Russia at all costs, even to the extent of having a law passed banning them. We have never before been on such a steep slope to catastrophe as we are now. Madness reigns across the entire panoply of the western political superstructure. Group thought has replaced all semblance of rationality within a war mode mentality that drives each western leader to forego any perception of reality, totally blinded as they are by dogma.
