When Truth-Telling Becomes Russian Propaganda

by Stephen Lendman

Fake news is a US government, scoundrel media specialty - proliferating managed news misinformation agitprop, truth-telling suppressed on issues mattering most.

Propaganda wars precede hot ones. Deception, popular fiction and Big Lies launch them. Intense Russia bashing risks world peace, stability and security.

Washington’s imperial war machine is humanity’s greatest threat. Is Trump up to taming it? Will he try once in office?

Or were his campaign pledges just bluster? World peace and stability depends on which way he goes - along with whether he’ll defend waning freedoms or eliminate ones left, making America more of a police state than already.

A previous article discussed House passage of the draconian US Intelligence Authorization Act, calling it a huge leap backwards, Senate passage and Obama signing it into law virtually certain.

It aims to counter nonexistent “measures by Russia to exert covert influence, including exposing falsehoods, agents of influence, corruption, human rights abuses, terrorism and assassinations carried out by the security services or political elites of the Russian Federation or their proxies.”

It calls truth-telling by writers like myself and many others “fake news.” It threatens speech, independent media (especially online) and academic freedoms - the hallmark of a fascist dictatorship, wanting information and views contrary to official ones suppressed.

Does supporting Russia’s good faith efforts to resolve conflicts in Syria and Ukraine equitably make me a Kremlin agent or propagandist? Does praising Putin for wanting peace, not war, multi-world polarity, and mutual cooperation among all nations?

Does opposing Washington’s imperial war machine mean I’m unpatriotic? Does patriotism require supporting lawless government policies?

Does opposing might makes right make me an enemy of the state? Does wanting real democracy, not America’s fantasy version? Does believing in the inviolability of international and constitutional law principles?

Does wanting peace and security, imperial wars ended? Does believing in equity and justice for everyone, not just America’s privileged few?

Am I and many others like me endangered if we pursue truth-telling? In 1893, Finley Peter Dunne (1867 - 1936) said “(t)he job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”

He said it before the electronic media age, including the Internet, letting activist writers express views freely.

Will the US Intelligence Authorization Act change things? Are First Amendment rights threatened with annulment?

Will fascist tyranny replace remaining freedoms? Will truth-telling be criminalized?

Are my days able to write and speak freely numbered - despite committing no wrongdoing now or earlier? Just truth-telling on vital domestic and geopolitical issues, what journalism is supposed to be all about.

Whatever are you ranting about?

people have been fretting and wringing their hands about potential loss of free speech since Bush and probably before.. I have come to believe that this is all hysterical money-making bullshit. yes, the Fed's feds are tyrants. they chained IRS protester Irwin Schiff to a bed until he died for fuxk sakes.

however this free speech fears are a red herring. I got news for the fearmongers. americans have GUNS. they can say whatever the #@&% they want. I've yelled at or protested probably more internationally known American politicians than most Americans because I don't give a shit what they think and guess what? the black helicopters never "came to get me" , lol, what paranoid b.s. honestly.

as long as you pay your taxes for israel the govt will leave you alone. Christine knows this!

and now we have Doreen Hendrickson being jailed for refusing to commit perjury for the benefit of the IRS et al: Free Speech On Trial http://losthorizons.com/IStandWithDoreen.htm

as long as you pay your taxes for israel the govt will leave you alone.

so glad all those americans are bleeding and dying for all that "FREEDOM" or israhell, or whatever it is they are out there murdering innocent people for. [not]

True that.
