So the Washington Post, Reuters, and NBC News are all conspiring against Russia?
I don't have a dog in this discussion, but I can add some clarity.
Regarding News orgs being "all wrong" or all right"... there's a godfather who happens to control & actively influence what trickles down to the public. They tailor it toward whatever their agenda is.
I apologize for not recalling the resource or the name of teh "over-seer news org", but about a decade ago, I read an article about an organization that has bought & paid for influence over the majority of news orgs. In that article they showed clips (side by side) from a staggering amount of the biggest news orgs that broadcasted almost word for word, (with otherwise odd "buzz words" that show continuity) the same thing regarding many different key pivot points that will sway modern belief in "facts."
Since reading that article, I almost can't NOT notice, how many use the same "buzz words" about a certain topic, & read almost exactly the same way. It's eery.
Teh Covid is a perfect example of this bullshit propaganda turning a virus with only a slightly higher death rate than the common flue into a pandemic & total shut-down that has now bankrupted the entire world all at once. (by design imo)
While world leaders may or may not had been aware of the reality... they seem to be too indebted to resist those who remain endlessly lenient to their staggering debt load.
Regarding Russia
I understand Russia being pissed about not being able to attend teh Lympics & so they are fooking with things. I don't know that they are, nor that I condone it, I'm just saying that I can uderstand why they might.
The fact that they're being banned, is due to that misplaced propaganda by that coordinated news org that corrupts people's mind to believe whatever they want them to believe.
Teh Lympic committee is either duped or a part of that system of misinformation. The world as a whole was duped, & just decided to go with the misinformation despite very clear evidence that
NATO started the Ukraine war.
Russia waz very clear that they would not attack Ukraine as long as they didn't build military structure within a certain distance from their boarder. It's a legitimate threat to them, & not to be underestimated when discussing this.
In negotiations to end the cold war
NATO agreed not to expand their military presence beyond those current cold war boundaries. Everyone agreed & everything was fine. NATO said during negotiations, that they "would not expand one inch to teh east."
There seems to be some controversy about what was written & what was said & understood... but for sure this is not Russia being the aggressor.
This began with NATO infringing upon Russia without proper communication & consent.
NATO began weaponizing in Ukraine beyond where they promised they wouldn't.
As promised... Russia answered their empty wordz by doing exactly what they said they would do if those agreements were compromised.
Point being that they are being unjustly banned from teh Lympics while all teh countriez who are actually responsible for teh Ukraine war were able to compete. I can understand why Russia would be prone to talk shit & do some media influencing of their own.
I don't condone corruption such as harrassing this boxer, or spreading fear about the games, but I also don't know that the government is responsible for that stuff. I'm just seeing this sort of prejudice against Russia, & I wanted to point out that they might not be any more corrupt than any other government. I think they're all corrupt.
