Russia/Ukraine Update: 7 Feb 2024 - Tucker/Putin interview poll, and 'Logically' for whom?
'Logically', the Orwellian machine that's no longer in a movie but a government near you... and Russell Brand... and us.
“NATO is desperate to prevent Russia from securing all territory to the east of the Dneiper River. Up to this point the NATO countries have enabled the criminal activities of Ukraine and have not suffered any consequences. I believe they interpret Russia’s failure to respond as a sign of weakness. They confuse patience with ignorance. Given the growing turmoil in Kiev as the fight for control between President Zelensky and General Zaluzhny heats up, the Russians appear content to continue their attrition strategy as they systematically dismantle the Ukrainian Army. Russia, however, is enjoying an unexpected benefit — NATO also is being de-militarized.” - Larry Johnson
Silencing truthseekers has never been as blatant and crushing as it is now.
This new stage of authoritarianism may have begun with the attack on Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning for daring to confront the U.S. war machine. The Monsters under their beds decided to control our heads; using hammers during covid, chainsaws for their Ukraine proxy war that’s killed hundreds of thousands, and knives for Israel so they can kill tens of thousands more.
Successfully contradicting their propaganda will get you shamed, discredited, and unemployed. They’ll protect Jeffrey Epstein whilst falsely labelling you a paedophile.
I’ve met them. They’re scary. And I’ve no idea how we can beat them. Nevertheless, they’re why I begin this newsletter differently, and with empathy to Russell Brand…
ATTACKING RUSSELL BRAND… AND US
The most scarily Orwellian story in recent years was by Lee Fang on 26 January. Although its a paid post, he’s made a large portion free.
It’s about the British government and an ex-FBI agent working with a company called Logically that pretends to be an anti-disinformation service but is aimed at stopping, ironically, logical dissent. It uses humans and artificial intelligence to further bad government’s objectives.
Notably, Russell Brand, the “conspiracy theorist” and “sex pervert” was a target. Russell does a build-up, and then quotes and discusses Lee’s article. You will be disturbed by the end of this video because this is what’s coming for all of us if we question NATO’s narrative on Russia, excess deaths, and sex without consent between corgis and dachshunds (dorgis exist, I swear).
