I agree, Amigo. The NYT, snuggling like a slimey tapeworm within the Wokey-Woke “information ecosystem” is the pinnacle of American disinformation and indoctrination.The holy mantra of journalism is “who, what, where, when and sometimes, how.” Anything else is blah- blah-blah, blah- blah -blah propaganda.
"Biden Disinformation Czar Calls on Twitter to Allow Verified Users to Edit Other Users’ Tweets" [like in Wiki]In: National Review, May 13th
She said: “If President [Donald] Trump were still on Twitter and tweeted a claim about voter fraud, someone could add context from one of the 60 lawsuits that went through the court or something that an election official... [said],”
She's doing her work, of course. I like the idea of returning to the "voter fraud" issue. Sounds like one well-repressed in many americans unconscious minds.
When the best that American democracy can come up with is a choice between the likes of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, claims of voter fraud must make the ghosts of Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, Adams and Washington howl with contemptuous laughter.Since when did Twitter, Facebook and Google become the pillars of Constitutional free speech?
I'm sure they're howling from their graves (or whatever the place they're in); they mean: "FIX THE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY!". Expose those who rigged it!
I know how you feel: apathy.That's not American, sorry. The Founding Fathers wouldn't respond that way. None of them. Sorry, on my bluntness.

Welcome to the digital age, David. Welcome to Cyber space, the Founding Fathers didn't have. Those companies can have huge impacts on elections results. Whoever owns them, may hold the power to swing results in certain ways, and directions.
And those companies are a good barometer of the "free speech" right, enforced or ....denied.
Corporations should not be allowed to restrict free speech within the borders of a country where free speech is protected by its Constitution.
"Douglas Macgregor: Ukraine Air Defence Collapsed !! Russia Will Wipeout Everything In Coming Days" (On Youtube)If he's talking right, the West is in dire straits: it failed. Billions upon billions of dollars and euros, for months now, pouring into Ukraine: ...what for?
Maybe Biden is considering a "coalition of the willing" (like Napoleon). Who knows...
Check "Will Biden Gamble on a Ukraine Coalition?
The Washington establishment is considering a risky and ill-defined intervention in Europe." By Douglas Macgregor in The American Conservative.
I agree. The Ukraine cannot continue without an infrastructure. It will certainly be lost without Western intervention..I doubt that any of the Western leaders understand the implications upon Europe of a victorious Putin and a defeated Ukraine at this point.
We have no Churchills on our side. We have all the Chamberlains and Deladiers instead.
Maybe A.I. will come up with a new leader. It might be easy as input: a bit of traits from Roosevelt and some of Churchill's. Maybe some of DeGaulle.I know of some who would prefer this: only one Stalin-like leader would beat Putin.
A.I. is pondering....; as humans cannot deal with it, maybe supercomputers will.😒
If you ever contemplated an A.I. future with immense possibilities and promises, this is the video. However, it may imply the end of us, humans. Welcome to the [once a human-made] machine. Stunning art pieces. Enjoy."Stunning AI shows how it would kill 90%. w Elon Musk."

"This intense AI anger is exactly what experts warned of, w Elon Musk."
Interesting…but not the least bit surprising to me…I do not read ANY sci-fi…. but I saw the possibility of AI replacing mankind a long ago…(patting myself on the back) Because I have such a dim view of modern “culture” and politics?
Obviously…..
BTW ……’Brilliant’ is also one of Sabine Hossenfelder’s main sponsors. I will have to check out whether she has a feature on Quantum Physics, AI and “spooky action at a distance.” Sounds like a natural for her.

Thanks about Sabine, I wasn't familiar with.
This is a scary video, in DW; "Satellite images suggest Russia is preparing for massive airstrikes | DW News" (on YouTube)The West narrative that "Ukraine is winning" is a huge LIE!
Yes, Russia is preparing for a massive aerial assault because…they are NOT winning in the ground. Instead of folding like an umbrella, the Ukrainians stopped Putin’s invasion in its track and then drove the Russians back on two fronts.
Yes, the Ukraine IS winning, but at terrible losses that will only worsen during the winter.
Air power is Putin’s only hammer. His entire army is a joke.
The Ukraine will irrevocably be set back if the West does not supply air cover….which….as Putin knows…is very, very unlikely.
If you count the millions of Ukranian refugees who went out, the energy (not only) infrastructure destroyed, the lost chunks of territory...you may arrive at a different conclusion. Plus, of course, the thousands of Ukrainian lives lost. Maybe the "Ukraine is winning" narrative justifies other goals. Of the West.
If you resist an invader you are fighting the good fight..If the invader has been stopped in its tracks, the aggressor has been neutralized.
If the invader is retreating, you are winning.
David wrote: "If you resist an invader you are fighting the good fight..If the invader has been stopped in its tracks, the aggressor has been neutralized.

Sounds logical your "if ...than" reasoning. But the logic of facts is of another nature.
By the way do you have an estimate of the number of Ukrainian soldiers killed? How many Ukrainian children abducted? How many Ukrainians deported since that war started? (I'm not even asking you numbers on torture..., or an accountability of the weapons the West supplied Ukraine with, and its actual destiny...)
I would like peace to be a fact tomorrow. I wish, since the very start, the war had taken a different turn...
Reality shows me that the West has been failing since the very beginning, as I told you back then. And "Ukraine is winning" is a sham. And Shame.
If you have time, I would like you to watch Scott Ritter's views* on this war. Then tell me something on it, please.
THANKS!
*INTERVIEW: #Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries on the planet and is lying about its dead. (on YouTube)
Your logic seems to me to be the logic of someone who might have urged Poland not to fight back against Hitler or Finland not to have fought back against Stalin.
David wrote: "Your logic seems to me to be the logic of someone who might have urged Poland not to fight back against Hitler or Finland not to have fought back against Stalin."It is not. Please, watch the tape.
Ha; Scott Ritter is a "former United States Marine Corps intelligence officer". As for George Galloway; he's the guy with the rough accent......
I do not recognize either name. I might as well be listening to a couple of unknown drunks babbling away in a barroom. Thanks just the same. I’ll pass.
David, I've been reading a lot (maybe wishing too) Peace proposals. Maybe it's time to give Peace a chance; don't you think so?A recent Cicero issue had this headline: A peace manifesto as propaganda aid for Putin
BY REINHARD VESER
and: "Linguistic obfuscation and manipulation: The "Manifesto for Peace" by Alice Schwarzer and Sahra Wagenknecht is an example of what is going wrong in the German debate about Russia's attack on Ukraine."
Does peace make sense now or should the West keep fighting Putin? Until when? Should we listen to Sahra's Manifesto?
As I am sure you know, Schwarzer and Wagenknecht represent a very tiny minority among the German political opinion.Give peace a chance? Like that nibble of the Crimea, why keep feeding the crocodile when it can never be satisfied?
Putin is gambling a lot (maybe his own life) on this latest offensive. He needs a massive Ukrainian retreat to force a settlement with a people stubbornly unwilling to feed this uninvited crocodile that has violated its borders.
Russia fully expected to win the war within the first week or so. After almost a year, it has lost well over 100,000 soldiers.
If the Ukraine battles Putin’s offensive to a stalemate, there will be no settlement and for better or worse, power is very likely to change hands in Moscow sooner rather than later.
And what can possibly be worse than a Putin who has lost all of his marbles at the closing chapter (paragraph) of his life?

Thanks David.
Sounds like we'll have escalation for many months to come. Now tanks then jets, then Ukranians will want subs and war ships?
Oh, By the way, Did Biden blow up the Nord Stream pipelines?He's really in
Interesting theory. Possible, but highly unlikely.The article contains tons of gaps in logic and wild leaps of faith.
The second-class players in both the US government and its military do not operate at this high level of seamless conception, planning and implementation within such a short time frame.
The Norwegian thread was absolutely necessary to this fanciful storyline, but seems quite unlikely.
Great. You are one the few ones I've read having that skeptical view. A question still remains: WHO DID IT?
Hi there, DavidI hope you've read Seymour's update on the story:
"FROM THE GULF OF TONKIN TO THE BALTIC SEA; The secret and incomplete history of US-Norway collaboration in covert operations".
I hope also you've listened to the words of former Congressman (Dem) Dennis John Kucinich: this government has circumvented Article 1 of the Constitution (CONGRESS AUTHORITY ON WAR) and violated international criminal law (VIOLENCE ON HIGH SEAS); he's calling for accountability.
I've learned about the "many" (in the US) calling for a HEARING ON THE MATTER.
I am watching "Prof. Jeffrey Sachs and Ray McGovern address UN Security Council on Nord Stream investigations" on YouTube
From Norway’s gossipy tabloid Verdans Gang to the more schmickiwicki Aftenposten, Hersh’s Nordstream assertion is not being taken very seriously up north since it is based entirely on rumors from an unidentified source. No one is discussing it. It is not being taken seriously.Thus far, this Putin-friendly fantasy has yet to flush out one single wobbly whisper from any Norska collaborators. Not one.
The UN Security Council? Give me a break!
David wrote: "From Norway’s gossipy tabloid Verdans Gang to the more schmickiwicki Aftenposten, Hersh’s Nordstream assertion is not being taken very seriously up north since it is based entirely on rumors from a..."David still believes Hersh's story is fiction.
Col. Wilkerson: "We did it"
David wrote: "And Wilkerson has Joe Biden’s snorkel to prove it."😂😂
I didn't know Biden was a diver; I understand he must have the appropriate gear and equipment when one is in a deep dark swamp.
Traunte Lafrenz, the last surviving member of the heroic White Rose German resistance movement to Hitler has passed away at the age of 103 in South Carolina where she settled after the war.Many of us had hoped that a Russian version of Sophie Scholl and Traunte Lafrenz would arise to inspire the removal of Putin and save thousand and thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives.



America will rank first!! Starting with the NYtimes clean up, of course. Then she'll move on to Twitter. (view spoiler)[Of course, I'm joking (hide spoiler)]
