Comment on How Russia is intercepting communications from European satellites

Sims@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

Just another placed propaganda piece in a campaign that have run over 20 years (if ever paused). I can’t think of ANY Western claim against ANY ‘enemy’, that have any proof, or that they are not doing en-masse them selves. It’s a standard propaganda technique to blame the opponent for what they are doing them selves.

Right now the Western plutocracy are tightening their control over their own population, and they need to show how the ‘enemies’ are spying on us, and to cover up their own control moves. Just look at all the idiotic Iran/Russia/China/<insert fave ‘enemy’> SPIES are all over ! WE MUST ATTACK ! It’s cringe at best…

As if the rest of the world have forgotten NSA and other US control agencies work… The West have, because our tech psychopath oligarchs controls leading for-profit media outlets, and can make whole topics ‘disappear’ from the Western information landscape.

Pretty embarrassing that we still accept this primitive war-mongering propaganda narrative as Gospel. It’s a paid organized ‘lynch-mob’ of primitive regurgitators - the technique even have a well-known name “Manufacturing Consent”…

You had me until you mentioned manufacturing consent. Not that the concept isn’t real, just the revelation that the person who coined it was likely a pedophile enabler and involved in a vast criminal conspiracy.

We are falling for it again too in the Iran propaganda, using the protesters as pawns to drum up support for more bad faith attacks on Iran. As if they give a shit about protesters here, or military action would help protesters.

For all intents and purposes Iran has remained at war with Israel and the US for the last two years, any protests while at war runs into the rally around the flag effect, and the west leaned into associating itself with the protesters, and no doubt helped them make a public spectacle, just to get them crushed by the State that is rallying around the flag while being attacked by a hated enemy they just watched carry out the reprisals against their gazan and west bank ghettos for two years.

Just using those protesters as pawns, it’s obvious what they are doing, just as it was obvious they were playing us on drumming up cause for the Iraq war. But people will fall for it and then well after the fact realize they were duped, after it is too late.

It doesn’t matter if their protesters are in the right, have a point, should be safe protesting, what have you. They are in effect still at war, their enemy is using them for that war and associated themselves with those protesters, and as such it will be ruthlessly crushed by the State, it’s not fair but it’s clearly the case. Instead westerners are left thinking Iran is on the brink of a revolution to reinstate the hated Shah. All so Israel can use their epstein blackmail to force the US to start their forever war with Iran that they can continually find new pretexts to violate any peace deal, reaching across and killing their leaders and ruining infrastructure with impunity.
