I don't want to wake anyone up so I can't listen to that right now but I did read the entire transcript of a video she made elsewhere right before the broadcast and it's wild: https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/15/euro...rupts-russian-state-news-broadcast/index.html ^That is one brave lady. One brave dead lady, I should say. I know Putin has that shiny new law that'll get you an automatic 15 yrs in the Gulag if you say anything against the state, protest, or "lie", but I can totally see him going full treason mode here. If he does have her killed, I seriously hope she doesn't/didn't die for nothing. He could also give her the good ole '1984' treatment and then have her publicly recant everything she said/did. Either way, it isn't going to be pretty for her.
Let's hope they knew beforehand what she was going to do and went into hiding. There are many who are vouching as to the authenticity of her video. I guess we'll find out. Maybe? Anyway, talk about throwing yourself on your sword. Who is to say how many people it reached but the TV thing? Millions.
The Russian people aren't the only ones who are being "zombified" by Russian propaganda. It seems that appealing to our deeply rooted isolationist, "America First" feelings is working pretty well over here. Orwell's name has rightly been raised, and there is no doubt that both sides in wars present slanted information. This should not blind us to which side Orwell was on. He was against totalitarianism of whatever left or right political persuasion, and he was for any movement toward democratic socialism: “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism, as I understand it” ( italics Orwell’s). Remembering George Orwell, the Socialist (thewire.in) Destroying the myth: George Orwell and soviet communism: Critique: Vol 27, No 1 (tandfonline.com) There is no doubt that if Orwell were alive today, he would be much more critical of misinformation sympathetic to Russian totalitarianism than any other distorted information.
Since we're on the topic of disinformation/misinformation, the Q folks have shifted from mask and covid to now being sympathizers for Putin and his war in Ukraine, leading many to believe Russia created and pushed a lot of the Q stuff via social media over the years to radicalize Americans. Some followers going as far as to say it's all fake and T*ump was hinting at bioweapons for years because of how he would constantly pronounce China as 'Chy-na' to say Ukraine is the problem not China. "The Ukrainian “chy-na” is in fact just part of the name of what appears to be a village on the outskirts of Lviv. In Ukrainian, it is called “Шпильчина,” but on Google Maps, it’s referred to as “Shpyl’chyna.” Unfortunately, this is a bad transliteration: The ‘y’ is meant to represent a very soft ‘i’ sound that’s hard to transliterate, because it’s rarely used in English." https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article...chy-na-to-send-a-secret-message-about-ukraine
This picture of her was supposedly taken earlier today in a Moscow court. The guy on the left is a lawyer.
Yes, his fiction is eye-opening and instructive on how people can be indoctrinated, e.g., by repetition of lies. Orwell's nonfiction is also instructive and relevant for the media bubbles we put ourselves in today. Anytime we have a knee-jerk reaction to inflammatory information that confirms our biases and fail to objectively consider the facts, even if they are uncomfortable facts, we become prime candidates for being manipulated.
Where do you find this shit? Are you just obsessed with the radical right or are you a closet member?
