Quoted: Did I make it in before the anti-semites? No one from the Atlantic? The Salt Lake Tribune is less of a surprise to those of us who have lived there than you would think. Ronald Brownstein from the Atlantic . This also explains how they gaslit Joe Biden for 5 years when he had virtually no brain but was pro China. " Go ahead , fly that balloon, not a problem ". MSM said nothing. |

Quoted: Democracy or not, news reporting should be unbiased. It can't be if you're beholden to a country, political party, religion, etc The news media has never been unbiased, even back to the first printing presses. That's just a sales pitch for the suckers, like " the customer is always right". |

There's a book out there from 15 yrs ago or so, Unrestricted Warfare, written by two Chinese colonels from their military academy, their version of West Point or Annapolis. This is one of the major points of their OOTW, Operations Other Than War. The objective is to weaken their enemies by covert and not so covert means to eliminate or reduce the power of their opponents in what Sun Tzu referred to as the highest art of war, to defeat the enemy without battle. The Chinese know that they will get their asses handed to them on a silver platter in a stand up fight with the US, and OOTW is the most efficient way to take us. By time it comes to full scale combat, we will already be defeated. |

Quoted: Here's the thing: If we need boots on the ground to completely subdue Iran I would rather they were our partner Israel than American... Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “When it comes to the state of Israel, there is no interest in joining the campaign,” Smotrich said at a settlement conference Tuesday. “The current situation, where there is a confined campaign between Iran and the United States, is the correct [situation] and best for us.” |

Quoted: Israel is ve3ry involved in our latest conflicts with Iran. In prior ME conflicts we didn't want to align with them for political reasons. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “When it comes to the state of Israel, there is no interest in joining the campaign,” Smotrich said at a settlement conference Tuesday. “The current situation, where there is a confined campaign between Iran and the United States, is the correct [situation] and best for us.” |

If the truth were told, I bet most mainstream journalists are on some country’s payroll. Either that or their bosses/companies are on the payroll. I bet the same can be said for quite a few popular online journalists. They may not even know it as it could be indirectly funneled to them. On top of that, you can now mix in AI directed by government entities. Finding the truth may be harder now than decades before. |
