NATO: Political Understanding of Current International Events

[Tyger]

Do yourself a favor and listen to this close to an hour and a half podcast with 4 outstanding talking heads regarding our current international situation.

They are an example as to why one can never accept at face value ANYTHING the MSM is reporting as factual when in fact it is opinion bias couched in narrative - nor should we ever take sides in any war.

The layers of psyops is thick on the ground, and the purpose is to have the general populace upset and at each other's throats. That's their aim - not truth, or what is historically 'just'. The layers to this international game are too complex - and fast moving - to be superficially explained by age-old political tropes.


There is really no place for me to post this here on the Paracast as what I am presenting I am hoping will stimulate a discussion about how we 'know' things - not what things are 'true'. I doubt any of us have the background these guys have to suss out the details of the game afoot, but it is fascinating to see how they view the 'purposes' behind an Israel/Gaza war, or the Ukraine war, or a NATO meeting in Ankara, Turkey - who is really 'working' who, and the subtle significance behind what one leader says or doesn't say. Fascinating to watch. Instructive. KEY: Don't take a side, especially in a war. Watch the game. See how all the various narratives peddled have a purpose, play to a particular audience to achieve a particular outcome. Sadly, most often we are being played.

These people are mostly talking whimsical crap as far as I can tell, starting with comparing Washington to Trump ; are you kidding? His movement into Iran was an absolute disaster and still is. There was no strategy, no plans just the ongoing narrative of Iran can't have nuclear weapons but no real way to actually end or control the environment. Instead we now have the Strait of Hormuz still as a quagmire and Iran and Oman looking at a pay per use system which was not in place at all prior to this disaster.

As an ongoing bonus to this waste of lives, money, and the enormous global expense of increased cost of oil and all related goods - pretty much everything, we've seen an absolute disastrous approach to leading and losing a war while Israel has had a free hand in breaking international law and invading Lebanon.

With regards to their general penchant for waxing philosophically and conspiratorially about Ukraine and Russia, their little bits and pieces that have absolutely no specific proof or facts related to what they are talking about. As for Nazism in the Ukraine one could argue there are even more Nazis actively and openly expressing themselves In Donald Trump's America than ever before. Russia uses this as a means to justify their invasion of Ukraine, a country longing for independence as all of Eastern Europe post WWII has tried to claim their nationhood. Russia'a sole goal is to recreate the good ole days of the Soviet Union. They want Ukraine back and any other country they can suck into their border. There is no real substantial Nazi threat in the Ukraine.

If we are going by numbers I would say the United States has the largest contingent of right wing Nazi and white supremacists followed by Germany, Russia and Brasil.

22 million Americans support neo-Nazis, new poll indicates

So should we really be too concerned about creating and promoting a piece of Russian Propaganda that they are using to promote their supposedly "just war" in Ukraine when really they just want control over the land again?

I stopped listening somewhere around their City of London stuff which again, on the pure face of the general facts of existence makes no sense. England has suffered terribly by a bunch of senior citizens who voted for Brexit, and their persistent elections to find new prime ministers all across the political spectrum, demonstrates this is a country that is struggling to find political stability. The city of London was dead long ago.

This discussion of The American System vs. the British System sounds like anti-colonial banter when the clear facts are that capitalism is running wild across the planet to create a billionaire class at the expense of an increasingly more impoverished lower class. Nowhere is this more evident than in America. I would cite Donald Trump's billion dollars made off of crypto currency and selling Bibles and watches as a primary example , while all those who invested in his currencies ended up with a severely devalued product. Why are these obvious facts about America ignored but critiqued in other parts of the world?

If there is a psyops going on it's these kinds of podcasts that obfuscate the real facts regarding the destruction of western values in their own country where individual freedoms of life, liberty and free speech are under persistent assault. This talk from this group is basically an anti-european rant while totally ignoring just how terrible things in America are.

As I commented on YouTube: Next time — Tom should wear the big hat.
And as a bonus just for Paracast readers — he can only have it if he agrees to give his cigar to Susan ( who has to smoke it )
