it would appear that 'our free press' is lying about the 'atrocities' the russians are accused of, and here one of their witnesses tells what really happened;

A key witness to the widely publicized incident at the Mariupol maternity hospital has punctured the official narrative of a Russian airstrike on the facility, and raised serious questions about Western media ethics. Meanwhile, news of a massacre in the city of Bucha contains suspicious elements.

On March 9th, shocking news of a deliberate Russian airstrike on a maternity hospital in Mariupol, eastern Ukraine, began spreading widely via social media and news outlets.

Fiery condemnation from Western officials, pundits, and journalists was immediate. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, for his part, claimed the act was proof of the “genocide” Russia was perpetrating against the civilian population, and urged European leaders to condemn the “war crime” and “strengthen sanctions” to stop the Kremlin’s “evil” deeds in the country. NPR suggested the attack was part of Russia’s “terrible wartime tradition” of purposefully targeting health facilities and medics during conflicts, dating back to Chechnya.

But newly released testimony from one of the incident’s main witnesses punctures the official narrative about a targeted Russian airstrike on the hospital. The witness account indicates the hospital had been turned into a base of operations by Ukrainian military forces and was not targeted in an airstrike, as Western media claimed. Her testimony also raised serious questions about whether at least some elements of the event were staged for propaganda purposes – and with the cooperation of the Associated Press.

The new testimony (watch below) comes on the heels of evidence strongly suggesting that the destruction of a dramatic theater in Mariupol on March 16 was staged by the Azov Battalion, and that nearly all civilians had evacuated a day before. And as we will see below, new reports of a Russian massacre of scores of civilians in the town of Bucha also contain suspicious details suggesting a pattern of information manipulation aimed at triggering Western military intervention. ........read more........

 lara logan goes against the empire's narrative on ukraine and speaks some truths you'll not find on your tv;

Former “60 Minutes” correspondent and award-winning investigative reporter Lara Logan, who appears to have been shunned by Fox News after she compared Dr. Anthony Fauci to Nazi regime terrorist Dr. Josef Mengele, dropped truth bombs about what’s really going on with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In an interview with Stew Peters last week, Logan began by noting that she has never in her life seen such universal acceptance of war by Americans, most of whom have embraced Ukraine because they’ve been lied to constantly about Russia and its current leader, President Vladimir Putin.

It’s “what you call the theater of the absolute ridiculous,” she said, noting that “all across L.A.” there are Ukrainian flags flying. “When in our lifetimes did anybody ever see the cheering that is going on with any kind of war? That really gets my BS meter just going absolutely off the charts.”

“What you have here is whether you like Putin or don’t like him, whether he’s a good guy or he’s a bad guy, Putin is not willing to be part of whatever global government structure that is coming our way,” she said. “He’s one man who is standing between us and the people who want to see a new world order.”.........read and watch more.......

Hats Off to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, An American Leader

Paul Craig Roberts

Florida citizens were extremely fortunate that they got Ron DeSantis for governor.  The Democrats almost succeeded in stealing the election.  The corrupt Democrats might succeed next time, because the Biden Department of Justice (sic) is trying to discredit fair election safeguards as “racist violations of civil rights laws.” The DOJ is very close to taking the position that it is a violation of US civil rights laws to prevent an illegal alien from voting.  New York city now allows non-citizens to vote.

Governor DeSantis kept Florida free of lockdowns and mask and vaccine mandates.  He said that a virus that has such a low mortality rate does not require destroying businesses, jobs, family and business income, and disrupting the lives of Florida’s millions of citizens.   Instead of forcing people to accept a highly dangerous and untested “Covid vaccine,” Governor DeSantis established monoclonal antibody clinics where people were treated.  President Biden, a pawn of the pharmaceutical industry, closed down Florida’s highly effective treatment clinics by withholding supplies of monoclonal antibodies.

Governor DeSantis was demonized by the whore media, including Florida’s own presstitutes, for protecting the health, civil liberty, and jobs of Florida citizens.  As the blue states succumbed to tyranny, Florida remained a beacon of freedom.  It was amazing to watch elsewhere so many governors, legislators, and Americans accept the devastating Covid protocols imposed by Fauci and Big Pharma.  I saw then that the American people did not have the leadership required for the United States to survive as a free country........read more.........

 here is kunstler presenting some truth you'll probably never hear from 'our free press' until after the collapse when they go about looking for someone to hang the responsibility on, and he asks some good questions as well;

You have been boldly lied-to by them with absolute consistency for years now….

There was Scott Pelley of CBS’s 60-Minutes show on Sunday night — the prime-time-slot of the new week — all cued up to run interference for the US State Department (and other Deep State “actors”) in the propaganda war over Ukraine. Let’s be brutally frank and get this out of the way: can you really trust either the US news media or the US government to tell you the truth?

Of course, you can’t. You have been boldly lied-to by them with absolute consistency for years now. Common knowledge, which is common sense’s twin sister, has it that the CIA “owns” The Washington Post, the FBI owns The New York Times, and the State Department owns CBS-News. All are conduits for official narratives. And since the State Department is most of all responsible for the Russian clean-up operation now underway in Ukraine, you can bet that CBS-News is in on the info-grift to protect State, its patron.

What Russia had to clean-up was the long-building after-effects of now Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland’s 2014 engineered Maidan coup against the elected government of President Viktor Yanukovych. The issue of that bygone day was a tug-of-war between the US and Russia, with Ukraine as the flag in the middle of the rope. Russia wanted Ukraine in the orbit of its economic “customs union” and the US was affecting to pull Ukraine into the Eurozone and NATO — or, at least, use Ukraine as a forward base for NATO, in order to antagonize Russia.

Russia has been the all-purpose hobgoblin that every US agency and many political personages turn to when they are caught doing something nefarious. When Hillary Clinton’s email trove was purloined through her poorly-defended illegal home server, Russia was to blame. That fiasco spawned the multi-year RussiaGate operation that bamboozled half the nation and ended up tainting the FBI, the DOJ, the FISA Court, and both the House and Senate Intel committees.

Then, along came Hunter Biden’s laptop, infamously labeled “Russian disinformation” by every retired senior intel spook still drawing a fat pension. The news about the laptop and its lurid contents was strenuously suppressed by every mainstream media company except The New York Post, and its coverage was banished from Facebook and Twitter which so many Americans rely on for news — an obvious and true conspiracy between government, high tech, and the news media......read more......

 our food system is set for trouble and soon. this presentation provides you with some info on all that;

Food scarcity. Food vouchers. Food riots and flash mobs.

All of that’s coming - and soon, says Texas-based food scientist and “Health Ranger” podcaster Mike Adams, who sees dire events unfolding in America in the short term.

His advice: people need to get prepared now.

“The thing to really watch for is the food inflation,” Adams said.

“My position is we’re going to see food riots in America before the end of this year. We’re going to see flash mobs in grocery stores—especially for meat products.

“Grocery stores are going to respond with increased security and checkpoints. At some point, we’re probably going to see an attempt at price controls and rationing. 

“And not on everything—certain types of things. It’s almost certain that the rationing they will attempt to enforce with a vaccine passport app that becomes a food rationing app,” Adams told The Epoch Times.

Adams is not alone in his predictions of hard times coming to America—and the world.

With food production buckling under the weight of runaway inflation, skyrocketing fuel costs, and fertilizer shortages, much of what’s in store is already “built-in.”

Unfertile Ground

In North America two years ago, it cost around $200 an acre to fertilize a 1,000-acre commercial farm, Adams said. Right now, with spring planting, farmers can expect to pay $1,200 to $2,000 an acre.

And consumers will pay for it in higher prices for basic necessities. 

“Many farmers are deciding not to plant. In addition, the diesel fuel prices and diesel fuel scarcity is going into their equation whether they should plant,” Adams said.

The upshot, he said, is that fewer farmers are planting, which means less food to go around......read more.......

 Why, exactly is Putin Bad! – and Ukraine Good?

I mean, other than because CNN says so. As CNN said so about “masks” (and “vaccines”) good – and those who questioned either being very bad, indeed?

It’s very odd – but very familiar – that so many Americans are worked up about Ukraine, a country most of these Americans probably couldn’t have identified on a map without help a month or so ago. Now it’s something they obsess about at least as much as they obsessed about the cases! the cases! – which CNN no longer urges them to be obsessed about.

Instead, they  are piously careful to properly spell and pronounce Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeev – the new spelling of what had been “Kiev” until about a month ago. Of a piece with the prior virtue-signaling one has gotten used to when a TeeVee “reporter” whose native language is English goes out of their way to enunciate Chilll-lay (rather than Chile)......read more...........
