CNN’s US Intel Source Just Admitted Everything Zelensky Says Is just a Spew of Lying Propaganda

By Andrew Korybko | One World Press | April 20, 2022

Ukrainian President Zelensky has been accused by his many critics across the world of spewing propaganda in every one of his many appearances, yet up until CNN’s surprising publication of an article on Tuesday, the US-led West condemned any such suspicions as so-called “Russian propaganda”.

The “politically correct” narrative has suddenly changed, however, due to that outlet’s piece titled “What happens to weapons sent to Ukraine? The US doesn’t really know”.

Partway through the text, CNN reported the following about US suspicions that Ukraine isn’t telling the whole truth about anything:

“’It’s a war — everything they do and say publicly is designed to help them win the war. Every public statement is an information operation, every interview, every Zelensky appearance broadcast is an information operation,’ said another source familiar with western intelligence. ‘It doesn’t mean they’re wrong to do it in any way.’”

This jaw-dropping disclosure amounts to a complete reversal of the prior narrative whereby it’s no longer so-called “Russian propaganda” to accuse Zelensky of spewing propaganda but is now reportedly the unofficial position of none other than the US government itself.

Not only that, but this is supposedly something that should even be praised, not condemned. That new narrative builds upon the one introduced by NBC News earlier this month when it quoted unnamed US spies who openly admitted to waging information warfare against Russia, including through the spread of fake news speculation.

All of this might understandably be too much for the average Western information consumer to process, which is why the purpose of this piece is to explain the emerging cognitive warfare trend that’s on display in this context.

«Así se impone un bulo»: el hilo que explica la creación de mentiras con el ejemplo de lo ocurrido con la hermandad de la Estrella en Granada y la supuesta agresión de los “menas»

El politólogo Fran Delgado ha explicado como se impone un bulo.

Fran Delgado, politólogo, ha utilizado el ejemplo de lo ocurrido con la hermandad de la Estrella en Granada y la supuesta agresión de los “menas» para explicar como se impone un bulo.

«Hoy en el curso de ética periodística y sin vergüenza política vamos a aprender cómo se impone un bulo a la realidad a través de la mentira teniendo como ejemplo lo ocurrido con la hermandad de la Estrella en Granada y la supuesta agresión de los ‘menas’», ha iniciado.

«Primero, un concejal se hace el listo y lanza el bulo en redes sociales en el que indica que unos ‘menas’ lanzaron objetos contra una procesión, cosa que le sirve para exponer todo su discurso xenófobo y de odio», inicia.

Desmentir los bulos sobre la migración

«Un libelo digital suprafinanciado por instituciones gobernadas por la derecha se hace eco de la noticia, alineándose con el discurso de odio y añadiendo el sensacionalismo suficiente que garantice el retorno de un fuerte clickbait», continúa.

Parliament Decided: Bulgaria will send Military Aid to Ukraine but No Weapons

See: Bulgarian coalition government could fall over proposed arms sales to Ukraine

The Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs rejected the two draft decisions on military assistance to Ukraine and only supported the proposal of “We Continue the Change” to provide technical assistance, but not weapons. The new draft decision passed with 11 votes in favor and 5 against.

The other two proposals of “Democratic Bulgaria” and GERB-SDS were rejected after almost two hours of debate with 6 votes in favor and 3 abstentions. The vote shows that only GERB-SDS, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms and Democratic Bulgaria (DB) support weapons for Ukraine. The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and “Vazrazhdane” (Revival) are strongly against, while “There Is Such a People” (TISP) and We Continue the Change (WCC) support “technical assistance”.

The US Cries About War Crimes While Imprisoning A Journalist For Exposing Its War Crimes

Caitlin Johnstone 54 min ago .. 34 likes 10 comments.. Listen to a reading

In what his lawyers have described as a “brief but significant moment in the case,” a British magistrates’ court has signed off on Julian Assange’s extradition to the United States, bringing the WikiLeaks founder one step closer to a US trial under the Espionage Act which threatens press freedoms worldwide.

The extradition case now goes to UK Home Secretary Priti Patel for approval, which will likely be forthcoming as Patel is a reliably loyal empire manager. After that point, Assange’s legal team will be able to launch an appeal. 

This is happening at the same time the United States and the United Kingdom are loudly demanding accountability for alleged war crimes by the Russian military in Ukraine, which is interesting because attempting to bring accountability for war crimes is precisely why Julian Assange is in prison.

“He is a war criminal,” President Biden said of Vladimir Putin following allegations of war crimes in Bucha, Ukraine earlier this month. “I think it is a war crime. … He should be held accountable.”

Yet another horrific False Flag debunked- Nazis always grab Power this way-Used to justify NATO’s Arms Gifts-

Kramatorsk train station attack: The key to finding the perpetrator lies in this overlooked detail

https://www.rt.com/russia/554138-kramatorsk-train-station-attack/

Scott Ritter is a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and author of ‘SCORPION KING: America’s Suicidal Embrace of Nuclear Weapons from FDR to Trump.’ He served in the Soviet Union as an inspector implementing the INF Treaty, in General Schwarzkopf’s staff during the Gulf War, and from 1991-1998 as a UN weapons inspector. 

Kiev and its Western backers immediately blamed Russia for the incident, but a proper investigation is likely to disagree

In a conflict where accusations of wrongdoing fly back and forth between Russia and Ukraine on a daily basis, when it comes to the missile attack on the Kramatorsk train station that occurred at 10:30am on April 8, 2022, both sides are in rare agreement – the missile used was a Tochka-U, a Soviet-era weapon known in the West by its NATO reporting name as the SS-21 Scarab, and in the former Soviet republics that use the weapon by its GRAU designation, 9K79.

Beyond that one technical piece of information, however, any semblance of unanimity regarding the narrative surrounding how that missile came to strike a bustling railway station, killing and wounding dozens of civilians desperately trying to evacuate from eastern Ukraine in anticipation of a large-scale Russian offensive, collapses, with each side blaming the other. Making this tragedy even more bizarre, the Russian words Za Detei – “for the children” – had been hand-painted on the missile in white.

The 2022 Anarchist Bookfairs list

https://freedomnews.org.uk/2022/04/20/the-2022-anarchist-bookfairs-list/

Freedom News

Events, Apr 20th

Last year saw the first tentative efforts to restart physical anarchist bookfairs amid the Covid crisis, with some success in places like Bradford, London, Manchester and even Stonehenge, and this year it looks like the revival is in full swing.

Doing this feature in March, when enough bookfairs have been announced to make a proper list, usually means we inadvertently miss out on the excellent Derry Radical Bookfair, which tends to happen in January, but this time it also falls after Active Distro’s Radical Bookfair in Bristol last month. Apologies for that comrades, but great to see them happening! Fortunately for the West, Bristol is well catered for with the Radical History Bookfair taking place later in the year.

Particularly pleasing is an all-new effort taking place in the late autumn in Peterborough – it’s been a few years since the last East Anglian showing and best of luck to the organisers! Full details below, but in calendar order we’ve got:

  • May 7th: Glasgow
  • May 14th: Bristol
  • May 14th: Liverpool
  • May 21st: Newcastle
  • Sept 3rd: Bradford
  • Sept 24th: London
  • October 29th: Peterborough
  • November 5th: Manchester

Note: All details are subject to change, be it due to unforeseen pandemic problems or because sometimes stuff goes wrong. Let us know via editor @ freedompress.org.uk if so, or if you want an anarchist bookfair in Britain or Ireland adding to the list!

Multiple cases of acute hepatitis in children have been reported in Europe over the past few days, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said in a statement on Monday.

The UK was the first to report the issue and had accumulated the most cases to date, the watchdog noted. All the cases in Britain were “presented clinically with severe acute hepatitis, with increased levels of liver enzymes,” while some of the patients also “reported gastrointestinal symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting in the preceding weeks.”
