Must Read Study on Russian Propaganda Techniques Published by ISW New study details how Russia continues to con the world and what needs to be done to counter this. https://www.kyivpost.com/post/30355 A knockout study by the Institute for the Study of War (“ISW”), just out March 27, is a must read for all the leadership of the West, and particularly, the US Administration and Congress. Vladimir Lenin’s famous statement, that “a lie told often enough becomes the truth” has been the mainstay of Russia’s successful program of lies and deception since 1917. This powerful quote encapsulates the power of dishonesty and manipulation to sway public opinion. And this stratagem was amplified by Stalin, the KGB and all the Russian rulers since. Putin has added the concept of “reflexive control” to this strategy, which puts out false bases for decision making to the West so that they freely come to a decision pre-determined by Putin and the Russian regime. “Russia uses perception manipulation to advance its interests globally”, states the ISW study. “Information operations have been a key part of the Kremlin’s toolkit for decades.” Many of the lies and deceptions have been debunked by the Ukrainian army in the current war of aggression by Russia – eg: the infallibility of the Russian military (over 400,000 dead and wounded), the strength of its Black Sea fleet (27 warships and 1 submarine lost to a country without a navy), the superiority of its hypersonic missiles (destroyed by the Patriot systems), and the accuracy of their precision weapons (non-existent). But the West must not fall for the continued lies and deceptions of the “reflexive control” propaganda programs now massively deployed by the Putin regime, which is set out in detail in the attached study artfully entitled “Denying Russia’s Only Strategy for Success”.

Remember the old propaganda line about accusing others of what you are doing yourself. This should be your reminder that Russia has eliminated 90% of the occupants who speak Ukrainian from the occupied territories -- through executions, forcing them to leave, re-education camps, kidnapping children and arrests while importing Russians to replace them as part of an active ethnic cleansing campaign. Ukrainians intend to eliminate 90% Russian citizens, Russian TV claims - video https://english.nv.ua/nation/russia...ians-and-destroy-the-rest-video-50431388.html Ukraine's Armed Forces intend to completely capture Russia, destroying 90% of its population, one of the Russian federal channels claimed on June 30. It seems that the Kremlin propagandists have decided and again remembered their fakes about the plans to enslave Russians, which is allegedly the Ukrainians' biggest dream. "The same plans of Himmler, Goebbels, Rosenberg, and Hitler are becoming the most relevant and in demand," Russian expert claimed in Vladimir Solovyov's, the Russian notorious propagandist's, studio. "SS Sonderkommando appeared when they were preparing to completely destroy the population of Moscow in three days. Fully. Moscow. And from Russia, they (Ukrainians) plan to keep 10%, that is, slaves, more or less. That's what they will do with us. Therefore, there will be no mercy for us." Sonderkommando ("special unit" in German) most commonly refers to the Sonderkommandos in Nazi Germany's extermination camps.

You got to love the propaganda of the extreme liberals on the left. Even past bombings with children in buildings, you have child actors being bandaged and made to appear seriously injured while, the cameras are rolling. Who would have thought that US and European propagandists have outdone the communist China that they pretend to loathe? All designed to inspire indignation against their targets. This time, it is Russia but, Israel has also, been victimized by Hamas operatives and their propaganda video teams. All fake like a $3 bill.
Under paywall. But I suspect conservatives apply logic and easily see that Ukraine is a terrorist Nazi state Given Canada salutes Nazis in their parliament no wonder they don't like when people think and not blindly accept narrative
