🧡: NATO and arms industry-funded 'think tank' @cepa offers explanation for blackout on Kiev's counteroffensive among #NAFO and Western media - being honest about how catastrophically it's going so far risks ending Western backing for the proxy war.

cepa.org/article/twitte… ImageImage
.@cepa acknowledges 2022 counteroffensive successful because "Ukraine faced overstretched, severely undermanned Russian units." This was observed by several analysts at the time, but dismissed as cope by #NAFO et al. Only now media admitting positions were effectively abandoned. ImageImageImage
Expectations for this counteroffensive not only high due to delusion and disinfo about last go around. Petraeus said it was "going to be very impressive". Perhaps covering for fact US was pressuring Kiev to go ahead with this, despite knowing the Ukrainians weren't ready. ImageImage
CEPA paints bleak picture of frontline, acknowledging Kiev effectively trying to do the impossible - "conduct large-scale combined arms maneuver operations against a near-peer or peer adversary" without air cover. Also admit "Russia [has achieved] some of its original goals." ImageImageImageImage
In sum @cepa effectively admitting what anti-war voices have consistently said - media (and pro-NATO 'think tanks') actively complicit in one way or another obscuring reality to keep this grinding on, and concealing proxy war's catastrophic human, material and financial cost.
CEPA of course has an obvious + massive vested interest in ensuring Western arms keep flowing into the conflict - ensuring profits of the numerous 'defense' contractors that fund it keep soaring. Why is the media helping them maintain the lie, do you think? ImageImageImageImage
ADDENDUM: In 2016, CEPA published a report calling for individuals exposed to Russian "disinformation" to be subjected to the same "deradicalisation" measures as "former Islamic radicals and far-right extremists." Oddly, this has since been removed from the web. Image
Amen.

🧡: As we appear to be heading into all-out war between Hezbollah and Israel, worth reflecting on how Beirut's military, security and intelligence agencies are heavily infiltrated by British assets, personnel and technology. Talk about fifth columnists...

thecradle.co/articles/doubl…
We are to assume Lebanon's security apparatus will be working towards defeat for Hezbollah, directed by the British. So the conflict is likely to be as much a civil war as it is a regional conflict. London has been preparing for this for a long time:

thecradle.co/articles/secre…
Lebanon's Internal Security Forces infiltrated by British contractor Siren, led by veteran Royal Ulster cop Jonathan McIvor. ISF routinely use torture against inmates. So does the Palestinian Authority, also trained by McIvor:

🧡: My take Kursk is a British operation US unhappy about has gotten lot of pushback, so let's dive into this. Key point is previously, Washington distanced iself from Kiev's escalatory actions by claiming a lack of foreknowledge. It has never actively condemned them. Until now.
On Aug 15th, Empire house journal Foreign Policy published scathing article on widespread US displeasure about the "counterinvasion" - from its "military logic", risk of escalation, and the "extremely awkward position" it has thrust Biden admin into.

A day later, The Times reported US had blocked Ukraine from firing British-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russia, which London greenlit with much fanfare months earlier. I took this as a sign the Empire had had enough of London's escalations and was seeking to rein in its client Image

🧡: I speculated earlier was probably Britain behind Kursk suicide op. Lo and behold, a Times article confirms this. More broadly, contents amply underline Kursk latest effort by London to keep the US in the proxy war - and it appears Washington has finally had enough of this.
Image
Times reveals up top heavily promoted footage of British Challenger 2 tanks in Kursk was a conscious, deliberate decision made by new PM Keir Starmer and his defence secretary John Healey. British equipment is said to have "played a central role" in the "counterinvasion".
Image
Image
First I'm hearing London greenlit Ukraine using British equipment to strike Russia in Feb 2022. As Active Measures exposed, British officials - including Boris Johnson - led a campaign to pressure countries providing Kiev with weapons to do the same.

It's NATO's 75th anniversary, so I visited beautiful Tasmajdan park to pay my respects to Milica, a bronze statue of a three year old girl killed in April 1999 by an alliance bombing raid. She was one of 89 children killed during NATO's criminal destruction of Yugoslavia. Image
Old enough to remember the jingoistic tubthumping in the British media, the claims NATO was crushing Milosevic with "precision" strikes, the calls for greater aggression. Meanwhile innocent people were dying and lives being destroying for *nothing*.

Never forgive. Never forget. Image
Publicly, NATO chiefs and media lackeys praised the bombing's effectiveness. Privately, British officials lamented that the campaign was achieving nothing, and the targets being struck were purely symbolic, for propaganda reasons. Civilian casualties were judged "worth the cost".

🧡: No list of 'journalists' complicit in Julian Assange's torture and persecution by the Empire could be complete without Carole Cadwalladr. Her rap sheet is extensive as it is shameful, so we'll focus on the worst example, published in April 2017...

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
In March 2017, Nigel Farage visited Ecuadorian Embassy, trying to interview Julian Assange for @LBC. His request was denied. Cadwalladr, with some help from a "highly placed contact with links to US intelligence", spun this into a sinister effort to pass info from JA to Trump.

Image
Image
Image
@LBC Cadwalladr admits this totally bogus story was fed to her by a "confidential source in the US". Presumably the same source quoted in the article. That source being the CIA. As has now been amply confirmed, the CIA was spying on Assange's every word/move in the Embassy all along.

🧡: With Julian free, time to name and shame 'journalists' who threw him under the bus. Exhibit A, @AyoCaesar. In brief, she effectively justified his incarceration on the bogus grounds women were "waiting to have their day in court" against him:

novaramedia.com/2019/04/15/jul…
'Assange is a rapist' psyop most devastatingly effective character assassination in history. People cheered his incarceration in Belmarsh, smearing his supporters as rape apologists. Fuck you all, from the bottom of my heart. @CaitOz has the receipts:

caityjohnstone.medium.com/assange-smear-…
@caitoz Anyway, back to @AyoCaesar's shameful AIDS-tier drivel. She claimed Julian's supporters believed "men who are heroes cannot possibly be creeps" when in reality he "has a case to answer." He didn't. According to Swedish prosecutors and his own accusers (!!!) he didn't.
