CNN didn’t come out and directly accuse Russia of sending mail bombs and animal parts to Ukrainian embassies in Europe. There is no evidence of that, not that evidence gets in the way of reality-anemic war propagandists working for the national security state and its corporate media propaganda division.
Instead, it allowed Dmytro Kuleba, the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, to insinuate Russia is behind the gruesome acts.
“This campaign is aimed at sowing fear,” Kuleba told CNN’s Matthew Chance in an “exclusive interview” in Kyiv on Friday. “I feel tempted to say, to name Russia straight away, because first of all you have to answer the question, who benefits?”
How in the world does Russia benefit from sending mail bombs and pig eyes to embassies in Europe? It doesn’t. Moreover, such terroristic behavior is not required. After all, Russia is slowly but surely disarming and denazifying Ukraine, and such grotesque behavior is not required and would be extremely counterproductive.
A couple of weeks ago Pramila Patten, the UN’s special representative on sexual violence in conflict, said Russian soldiers are given Viagra and instructed to rape Ukrainian women.
As it turns out, Ms. Patten was making things up, not that the corporate media felt obliged to set the record straight. In fact, Patten, apparently lacking the ability to construct an original lie, borrowed from the past. The Viagra lie was used during the criminal invasion and destruction of Libya. USG military and intelligence officials later said the absurd claim was bunkum.
“The investigation is going on by the Human Rights Monitoring Team and the International Commission of Inquiry. In their reports so far, there’s nothing about Viagra,” Patten admitted during an interview.
No headlines in the NYT or CNN refuting the claim. For the intellectually lazy headline skimmer who puts a little yellow and blue Ukronazi flag on his social media, the idiotic accusation has become truth, little different than the ugly lies about Huns bayonetting babies during the “Great War” to “end all wars” more than a hundred years ago.
Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, had a one-word response to Kuleba’s accusation: “psycho.”
Indeed, Ukraine is chock full of psychos, not merely the kind that tells obvious lies, knowing an ignorant public in the “West” will sup it up without question, but also the violent sort that strangles pregnant women to death and burns activists alive.
As to the latter, the arson, and murder of over 50 “separatists” in a Soviet-era labor building in Odesa in 2014, Human Rights Watch called for the Ukrainian government to investigate. Obviously, HRW is clueless as a large percentage of the American public. The Zelensky government, rife with misanthropic neo-Nazis, certainly will not investigate this horrible mass murder. The folks at HRW are either stupid or think we are.
Meanwhile, the “fact checkers” are busy at work trying to cover up and spin the brutal handiwork of Ukraine’s neo-Nazis. Good luck with that.
Eventually, reality and truth will triumph over cynical lies and deception, and absurd stories of pig eyes and animal parts mailed to hapless Ukrainian diplomats will be revealed for what they are—psychological operations designed to drum up consensus for an effort to “weaken Russia,” even if that effort terminates in a thermonuclear war.
