Everyone sees the game the US Government is playing in Ukraine except, as usual, most of the US corporate media:
Meanwhile, even the Ukrainian president appears to be a tool of the Kremlin with its messaging:

This is a good thread on the situation in Ukraine and Russia, and also recommend the @FT article cited here by its author:

So much of this is an outgrowth of Russiagate, of the lingering Democratic rage that it wasn't Hillary's fault that they lost the 2016 election but Putin's. Sometimes they admit this explicitly:

The Special Counsel investigating wrongdoing that led to Russiagate, John Durham, filed a document accusing the Clinton campaign of paying tech operatives to spy on Trump campaign, then Admin, servers. See if you can find liberal outlets covering this.

foxnews.com/politics/clint…
Durham's filing is here. The accusations shouldn't be taken as truth yet. He says he will prove them at trial. But the way liberal outlets completely ignore this shows the bubble in which liberals live: they just have no idea about any of this:

This is part of the criminal case against Hillary's lawyer, Michael Sussman. He fed FBI, then CIA, the fabricated Alfa Bank story, and is accused of lying when telling FBI he wasn't representing any client. Question is whether this is leading to a broader conspiracy case.

Only the US corporate media could take the person in this video, Joe Rogan, and claim he's a far-right figure.

It happens in part because most of Rogan's critics never watch his show, but also because the media purposely lies and uses "far-right" to malign everyone they dislike.
The media moronically calls Rogan "right-wing" because this is their only strategy for combatting the explosive growth of independent media taking their audience.

If they can convince people that everyone independent of them is "far-right," at least liberals will be captive.
In other words:

"Hey, all you guys who supported Bernie Sanders and have positions far to the left on key issues than we could dream of having: every time we use your name, we'll call you 'right-wing' because we have to make liberals stay loyal to us."

Love,
Corporate media

Joe Rogan has interviewed socialist Cornel West and Bernie Sanders, but if he really wants to prove he's willing to air radical, dissident voices, he'd invite on the star reporter for the obscure journal called The New York Times who is celebrated by every mainstream institution:
If Rogan wants to prove to dissidents like Yale Professor @jasonintrator that he's willing to talk to the dangerous radicals, he'd find out whether Nikole Hannah-Jones has time between her Face the Nation appearances, NYT articles and teaching gigs to emerge from the underground.
Rogan twice interviewed @Snowden -- someone who I think qualifies as a dissident since he's, you know, in exile for 8 years because the USG wants to imprison him.

But to Yale's @jasonintrator, real dissidents are the guests on the network shows, showered with mainstream prizes.

Um dos pontos perdidos - talvez pq há tão poucos judeus no Brasil (100.000) - é a diversidade de pensamento entre nos. Muitos judeus estão os críticos mais duro de Israel e mais radicais em apoia a liberdade de expressão. Apoiar o Israel nunca significa a apoiar os judeus.
Muitos partidos europeus de direita com uma longa história de antissemitismo são agora alguns dos aliados mais dedicados e leais de Israel. Muitos dos movimentos de protesto contra o governo de Israel são liderados por judeus ocidentais. Estes são debates completamente separados.
Ontem foi um dia bizarra e ofensiva: ser um dos poucos judeus gays em um país de 220 milhões de pessoas, imerso desde criança nas lições do Holocausto, ser chamado de "nazista simpatizante." Judeus não são um brinquedo político. Meu vídeo sobre isso:

Major controversy today in Brazil involving a Rogan-type popular independent podcaster. He said last night he thinks Brazil should have the same system as the US: government can't outlaw any parties, even a Nazi Party. Is being widely accused of being a Nazi, lost sponsors,
As it's grown, he's hosted some of the biggest names in Brazil politics and culture across right and left. Big move now to demand those guests withdraw their episodes, nobody go on. He apologized for being drunk when he said it (shows are 4 hours long or more and he drinks).
The biggest corporate media in Brazil is as hated as in the US. The left sees them as supporting not one but *two* coups, including in 2016. But an independent podcaster with no corporate structure is an easier target. We'll see how much damage they can do to him finally.

Acho que @TabataAmaral e outros defensores da censura devem ter cuidado ao usar judeus como um argumento. Foram os judeus americanos que, como minoria, lideraram a luta pela liberdade de expressão, incluindo advogados judeus da esquerda defendendo o direito deles de protestar.
Pode ler aqui - no site da @ACLU, o principal grupo de direitos civis nos EUA - onde contam com orgulho desta história. Dizem que a censura sempre será usada contra os marginalizados e as minorias. Eles também tiveram o apoio de alguns líderes negros.

Também anotei antes que Noam Chomsky - um dos intelectuais judeus de esquerda mais influentes do século 20 - foi e é um defensor absoluto desta liberdade pra todos. Grande parte de sua família foi assassinada pelos nazistas. Eles começaram com a censura:
