The Phoniest, Most PR-Intensive War Of All Time by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

The president and first lady of Ukraine have posed for a romantic photoshoot with Vogue magazine, wherein President Volodymyr Zelensky waxes poetical about his love for his darling wife.

Now, I know what you are thinking: how is Mr. Zelensky making time for a Vogue photoshoot amidst his busy schedule of PR appearances for other major western institutions?

I mean this is after all the same Volodymyr Zelensky who has been so busy making video appearances for the Grammy Awards, the Cannes Film Festival, the World Economic Forum and probably the Bilderberg group as well, and having meetings with celebrities like Ben Stiller, Sean Penn, and Bono and the Edge from U2. It is as busy a PR tour as he could possibly have without having a discussion about the strategic importance of long-range artillery with Elmo on Sesame Street.

Oh yeah, and also is there not like a war or something happening in Ukraine? You would think he would probably be somewhat busy with that too.

Call me crazy, but I am beginning to suspect that there might be a concerted effort to manipulate the way we think about the war in Ukraine. In fact, I would even go so far as to say it is the most aggressively perception-managed war we have ever experienced.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February we have not only been smashed with mass media propaganda unlike anything we have ever seen while Russian media are purged from the airwaves, we are also seeing the new media element of unprecedented amounts of online censorship, algorithm-boosted propaganda, and social media trolling.

So we have literally never seen this much overall effort put into manipulating the way the public thinks about a war. Which makes sense, given that it is a profoundly dangerous proxy war which stands to benefit ordinary people in no way, shape or form.

I mean, can you imagine if people were allowed to just think their own thoughts about their governments economic warfare against Russia which is hurting them financially and pushing millions toward starvation with the full awareness and approval of the United States government??

Or if United States of Americans were allowed to wonder if the billions they are pouring into this proxy conflict could be better spent at home?

Or if people started objecting to a needless conflict for geostrategic domination threatening their lives and the lives of everyone they know with the risk of nuclear annihilation?

Can not have that.

There is a night-and-day difference between wanting to tell people the truth about something and wanting to manipulate their perception of something.

There are times when true facts can be used to influence peoples perception one way or the other, but if your agenda is to manipulate perception rather than tell the truth you will necessarily be forced to rely on lies, half-truths, distortion, and lies by omission wherever the truth does not serve that agenda.

If they were telling us the truth about this war, they would not be censoring Russian media.

They would not be censoring online voices who disagree with the official narratives about Ukraine.

They would not be continually blasting us in the face with mass media perception management, and they sure as hell would not be putting Ukraines celebrity-in-chief on the cover of Vogue magazine.

We are being manipulated, and we are being deceived.

And we are being manipulated and deceived because our perceiving clearly on our own would go against the interests of the empire.

They are lying to us because the interests of the people and the interests of the empire are, as usual, squarely at odds.
