American Media Censorship about Russia: Some examples [Video]

Well, that is actually not right. At least not like I think you mean it. Russia actually DOES have a problem regarding leadership. The best way I can describe it is that the nation is still psychologically shattered from several factors (1) a centuries-long perceived inadequacy to the West. St Petersburg was essentially built to prove to the Western Europeans that Russians were not a bunch of bearded primitives. (2) The Soviet times made people really crazy and concerned each about his own welfare. (3) This one you may not know – the collapse of the Soviet Union – both the leadup under President Gorbachev (who is roundly despised here), and the 1990s (right after the fall of Communism) were far worse for modern Russians than the pogroms of the 1930s and that stuff. During Yeltsin’s presidency there was absolute financial and economic devastation. Everything collapsed – police, military, economy – no one had money but a few very crafty people who jumped on the collapse and made HUGE money from it (hence our oligarchs). Putin was brought into power by Yeltsin when he resigned. Putin has done a lot to restructure the country… (more)

Okay, that may be true or it may not. BUT – someone, anyone, may govern like a tyrant at any time and in any place. I think it is about the tyrannical characteristic not the political definition (assuming yours is correct) of the word “tyrant.” I would say that tyrannical rule in the US is when the government begins acting like “the ruling class” which was NEVER supposed to happen here. I think it largely has. I don’t think Congress represents people like you and me for the most part, I think those people chase donor money and do the bidding of those who donate. Hence, I am all for term limits and some way to prevent ANY congressional member, House or Senate, from receiving any sort of money, gift or anything other than their stipend for serving the government. The tyranny may not actually be FROM Congress and the President, but it is acting THROUGH them. Do you think that might be true?

So, what does all this say? Probably that I spend too much time talking about politics like this. But I do. I might even be wrong about my assertions – this would not be the first time. But one of our biggest and best rights is the right to be wrong. Now, I don’t think I am wrong – I think my time and observation of the Russian people and their nation have given me at least SOME insights, many of which came because they themselves told me. But Newsweek considers itself to have a responsibility to prevent people from getting information that “isn’t safe”, but why isn’t it safe?

With Tucker Carlson’s interview with President Putin on the way, I think we are going to find out why it isn’t safe. There is a good chance that this interview will fly in the face of the American media narrative about Russia in a big way. While the damage controllers will be very clever and swift to paint Mr. Carlson as a Russian sycophant, the next interview he wants to do is with Volodymyr Zelensky.

Do you think he is going to get that interview? And, what does it mean if Zelensky says “no?” (which is quite likely.)

Stay tuned, the Games are about to get really, really intense.
