A Key Left-Liberal Tactic: Hold Everyone But Yourself to the Highest Moral Standards (& Get Rich!) --

Starring John Kerry, Robert Reich and Hasan Piker (and yes, they have a lot in common when it comes to this specific deceit):

rumble.com/v2j7xcs-key-le…
The most blatant lie left-liberals tell themselves is they're marginalized, and those craving money thus "move right."

The easiest path to getting rich in media is planting oneself in the #Resistance or Bernie/AOC Dem wing, then ranting about Trump as Putin's Orange Hitler. ImageImageImageImage
This segment focuses on this faction's worst pathology: their framework whereby the *least relevant* metric for judging one's character and values is the way someone lives their life – thus relieving them of the obligation to align their lives with their claimed political views. ImageImageImageImage
By "left-liberal," I mean the increasingly numerous ways the mainstream "left" and establishment Dems converge.

The key requirement: ultimate loyalty to the Dem Party. They hate to admit it, but that's the hegemonic faction, the easiest path to wealth:

BuzzFeed News Is Shutting Down, Company Laying Off 180 Staffers 15% of the staff laid off.

The remainder will just be tossed under the collapsing brand of the Huffington Post.

Multi-pronged disintegration of the digital liberal media.

variety.com/2023/digital/n…
Absolute bloodbath at BuzzFeed.

See below the full memo from BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti and HuffPost editor-in-chief Danielle Belton sent to all staff: ImageImageImage
It's not just BuzzFeed. Also today, Business @Insider
announced is "laying off 10% of its workforce."

That's the outlet where this generation's most dishonest CIA servant, @NatashaBertrand, got her start: pushing the Trump/Alfa-Bank fraud.

On last night's @SystemUpdate_, we reported on the new DOJ indictment of 4 American radical black leftists for allegedly being "Russian agents" without having filed the required forms.

Few indictments are a worse threat to criminalize dissent than this one. See this thread:
The main issue:

The US and UK have constantly accused Russia, China and Iran of being despotic for calling anyone who receives US funding "foreign agents," even if they don't alter their views due to it.

That's *exactly what this indictment is: weaponizing Russiagate paranoia: Image
Very few Dems or Dem media shows will touch this case because they find real left-wing radicals - as opposed to the unthreatening DNC-loyal kind like Bernie, AOC and their Twitchers and YouTubers - to be too radical to defend.

So they'll let this repressive precedent stand.

This is an absolutely remarkable - and chilling - indictment. Several American black leftist groups and activists are being charged with felonies for posting memes and other political content against the war in Ukraine, protesting racial injustice: allegedly on behalf of Russia:
Here's one of the leaders of one of the groups who is now indicted, Omali Yeshitela of @_InPDUM, speaking at a "Peace in Ukraine" rally last month.

Criminalizing speech is becoming increasingly common by claiming the speech serves Russia's interests:

Here's the Instagram page of one of the groups claimed to be criminally doing Russia's bidding: its content is exactly what you'd expect from American Black leftist/socialists, including attacks on Biden for the war, anti-DNC stuff and #BLM cases:

Very telling that if one goes to DC, the only place one can hear this message is from the right-wing populist wing of the GOP.

Every single Dem - from Bernie to AOC - voted to fund the war in Ukraine, what Lula calls "incentivizing" and "encouraging the war":
Because every national "progressive" supports Biden's war policies in Ukraine - with Liz Cheney, Lindsey Graham and co. - most of "left media" that branded on Bernie/AOC is silent to supportive.

Impressive how much the DNC has the "US left" on lockdown:

Are the "progressives" in the US Congress (and their left-media servants) too stupid to know this is really what the war they're supporting is about, or do they recognize that the Dem Party to which they are fully loyal is devoted to this constituency?

Look what's going on here:

First the NYT (jointly with CIA-front Bellingcat) and WPost hunted down, exposed and ensured the arrest of the 21-year-old leaker.

Now they're having a party with the docs, publishing one "EXCLUSIVE" after the next as if they bravely "obtained" them: ImageImage
Each time these news outlets publish reporting on these docs -- as we did -- it's an implicit admission that they are newsworthy, that the public should know about them.

That's what makes it so repellent that media corporations are the ones who hunted him down on behalf of FBI.
Last night we devoted our @SystemUpdate_ to the full story of what happened with Assange -- in part because it's the 4th anniversary of his being imprisoned in the Belmarsh prison despite no conviction, but also because it relates to this current leaker:

Every time an important leaker emerges -- not an authorized one (i.e., CIA/FBI feeds the NYT or NBC) but one that's *unauthorized* (exposing their lies) -- the establishment playbook is the same: malign the personal character of the leaker to distract:👇

greenwald.locals.com/post/3847099/t…
This is a perfect example of what my above article describes. Here's the US/EU-funded @bellingcat -- who helped the NYT do the FBI's job of catching the leaker -- insisting you obsess on the leaker's motives and character, not what the documents reveal:

Julian Assange is likely responsible for breaking more major stories than any journalist of his generation.

Vox - all of them - never broke anything. Look at the infantile trash they published to justify his arrest in 2019.

This is always the playbook for *unauthorized* leaks: Image
