The Assange Case Invalidates United States Criticisms Of Russia: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

If you have been following the news about Ukraine but still do not understand that it is the single most aggressively narrative managed and psyop-intensive war in human history, there is a 100 percent chance you believe false things about what is happening there.

It is not a question of if the United States played a role in Imran Khans removal but how and to what extent.

We are about to see a judge sign off on Julian Assanges extradition to the United States for exposing the empires war crimes while that same empire blasts us all in the face with an unprecedented war propaganda campaign about rescuing Ukraines freedom and democracy.

"Russia must be held accountable for its war crimes," said the empire while imprisoning a journalist for trying to hold it accountable for war crimes.

Just the fact that the United States and United Kingdom are imprisoning a journalist for exposing the war crimes of a war criminal president-just that one fact by itself-completely invalidates all criticisms of Russia from Washington,D.C. and its allies.

Fun little factoid: if you subtract all the narratives being used to justify it, the Julian Assange case looks exactly the same as the worlds most powerful government imprisoning a journalist for telling the truth.

"Opinion" segments and articles in mainstream news media exist not to give you an idea of what opinions are out there but to define what opinions are permissible. The front page teaches you what to think, the opinion section teaches you how to think.

Once you figure out that corporations are part of the government it becomes clear what corporate media propaganda and corporate internet censorship really are.

The Russiagate psyop got "liberals" okay with internet censorship, cold war brinkmanship, and being lied to by the mass media day after day for the greater good, and now the United States empire just so happens to be ramping up all three of those things to facilitate agendas against Russia.

Public consent for Silicon Valley censorship has been used to justify a wider and wider radius of speech suppression to the point that we are now seeing the hammer dropped on people whose only crime is criticizing the most dangerous agendas of the worlds most powerful government.

Many of us warned from the beginning that protocols to silence figures like Alex Jones would be expanded to include things like anti-imperialists being purged en masse for their political speech. The only ones who disputed this are idiots who now regret their position and those who wanted to suppress dissent all along.

Are you listening now, assholes???

Do you still think our opposition to this was about "supporting Alex Jones," or do you now see that it was always about resisting government-tied monopolistic megacorporations being given the authority to censor worldwide speech for the United States empire??

In order to avoid a Twitter ban I would like to once again affirm that Russia is 1000% guilty of any and all possible war crimes real or imagined and pledge my eternal loyalty to the Immaculate Heart of President Zelensky.

Slava Ukraini! Slava Biden! Slava Pentagon! Slava CIA!-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) April 13, 2022

Free speech is important not because it is nice to be able to say what you want, but because it creates a check on the powerful.

The ability to freely share ideas and information is what makes it possible to bring attention to problems, change minds, stir the zeitgeist, and organize mass resistance.

For this reason there should be no speech restrictions on the platforms where people have come to congregate to share ideas and information besides illegal activities like child pornography. Not because it makes Johnny Proudboy sad if he can not speak, but to put a check on power.

That is why it is a moot point whether censorship on those giant platforms technically violates free speech laws or not; it violates the spirit behind the very reason those legal speech protections were created in the first place, namely to move power from the government to the people.

And for this spirit to be upheld it is necessary that all ideas and information are allowed to be shared freely, not just some of them.

Because there is no institution you could trust as an official arbiter of what ideas and information are valid without creating a power imbalance.

People should be allowed to scrutinize any and all narratives of the powerful.

They should be allowed to share unauthorized ideas and information.

They should even be allowed to lie, because otherwise the only people allowed to lie will be the powerful.

Democratizing information sharing is democratizing power.

Remember after 9-11-01 when Republicans got it into their heads that you need to torture people all the time to prevent terrorism, and then a TV series started on Fox where the hero tortures people all the time to stop terrorists?? Propaganda was way more ham-fisted back then.

Oh yeah well what about the RUSSIAN empire, huh?? What about CHINESE imperialism?? What about the IRANIAN unipolar world hegemon?? How come you never criticize CUBA for circling the planet with hundreds of military bases?? What about VENEZUELAN nuclear brinkmanship, you hypocrite??

My haters are a fun mix of uninformed imperialists who think I am crazy for saying the United States is trying to rule the world and informed imperialists who think I am naive for saying the United States should not try to rule the world.

Never let anyone shame you for focusing your criticisms on the worlds most powerful and destructive government. It is not strange and suspicious that you do that, it is strange and suspicious that more people do not.

Humanity will either extinguish itself in a cataclysm of its own making or awaken from its delusion-based conditioning and become a conscious species.

And whichever one happens, all our partisan bickering and sectarian spats will look pretty ridiculous in retrospect when it does.
