The Propaganda War Machine seems to be Winning.

This week’s atrocious murder of Palestinian protestors in Gaza by Israeli forces, shooting bullets “ad hoc” into crowds, resulting (thus far) in 17 dead and 800 wounded, barely raised an eyebrow for the American and Australian governments, respectively. The other “big” news to hit social media and a few MSM outlets, was the Ecuadorian embassy’s draconian shutdown of Julian Assange’s internet connection, and a ban on his visiting rights, is no less a SEIGE on his right to free speech; it’s a virtual shut down of a powerful dissenting voice for the actual #resistance movement. Add the purge of Russian diplomats around the planet, based on zero evidence, in the UK chemical poisoning case, reveals the establishment’s propaganda machine, around the planet, is working.

The attack on Palestinian protestors by IDF is nothing less than a crime against humanity. As of the date of this writing, the only government official who has mentioned this crime is the American Senator Bernie Sanders. The Senator tweeted:

“The killing of Palestinian demonstrators by Israeli forces in Gaza is tragic. It is the right of all people to protest for a better future without a violent response.”

To my way of thinking, Sanders’ response is soft and highly political, designed to not ruffle too many feathers.

Following other politicians and noted journalists on Twitter, Glen Greenwald, co-founder of The Intercept, in response to MSM – CNN talking head, Jake Tapper:  tweeted:

“On the one hand, "overreacted" is such a weak, diluting, obfuscatory word for the indiscriminate killing the Israelis are doing that it borders on being offensive. On the other, it's so rare for any member of the US Congress to utter a peep of criticism about Israeli aggression.”

In a later tweet, Greenwald wrote:

“Imagine if an Arab-majority country were imprisoning 1.8 million Jews in a tiny open-air cage, preventing them from leaving, controlling all aspects of their deprived civic lives, then picking them off with snipers in the back when they protested. Might the reaction be different?”

Indeed, the response would be different. If the roles were reversed, US ambassador Nicki Haley would immediately draft a “Declaration of War”, lobbying countries to obliterate the Arab State.

 Why the unrelenting propaganda ‘for’ the illegal Occupation is working, is that it is backed by powerful governmental bodies. Our mainstream media is partly controlled by these pro-Israeli organizations…and their tired argument for criticising Israel, is you’re “anti-Semitic”…and it’s continued to be effective These massive wealthy organizations, i.e., AIPAC (The American Israel Public Affairs Committee) or by extension, CFA (Council of Foreign Relations).  The latter is a “think tank” advising the government on all issues outside of American soil. In effect, CFA runs the country.

The illegal Israeli occupation of Gaza, in particular, is viewed by most of the world as a crime. That said, our governments turn a blind eye, spread propaganda, ensuring public opinion sides with Israel.

Julian Assange.

Those who claim that Julian Assange, “can leave the Ecuadorian Embassy whenever he wants”, are either ignorant, or are pushing an agenda. One scans recent history, can discover that individuals who stood up to the American war machine, revealing egregious crimes and other corruption, went down hard. It is common knowledge that the last two administrations want Julian Assange’s head on a golden platter. Assange has every right to fear extradition to the US, as they will charge him with the antiquated law of espionage, and to be sure, we will never see or hear from him again.

One wonders, listening to MSM talking heads or partisan governmental officials, rail against “leaks” and the “leakers” as though this is the real crime. These empty protestations are distracting the public from what the leaks actually contain. “This is an attack on American democracy!” No, the crimes revealed in the Clinton emails during the 2016 presidential election, showed campaign fraud, miss use of her personal email sever as Secretary of State; not to mention the vile corruption of the Clinton Foundation. But hey, blame Russia, then, kill the messenger!

The latest “silencing” of Assange by the Ecuadorian embassy, has furthered our understanding of the war machine’s efforts to destroy free speech. WikiLeaks has time and again revealed the crimes of our governments, and their absolute disregard of human life. And this latest act, cutting off his internet access, and prohibiting visitors, executed by the country who have given the man asylum, is reprehensible, and again, another effort by the “establishment” to crush our right to free speech.

In the last 2 weeks alone, we have seen the UK and US propaganda campaign to posit Russia as the enemy of the planet, based on zero evidence. We have watched while Israel commits further crimes against the Palestinian people. And we have seen the Ecuadorian embassy cave in to UK and US power to silence Assange, with little protest or mention by our “leaders.”

I believe it high time the world wakes up, because the propaganda war machine seems to be winning.
