Evil, Scary China Refuses To Passively Let Us Encircle It: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Most mainstream western reporting on Chinese military activity essentially amounts to "OMG you guys China is not just passively sitting there while we militarily encircle it and prepare to attack it!"

It is not the big, glaring, obvious lies that get you. The New York Times is the worlds most destructive propaganda outlet not because it publishes giant ham-fisted whoppers, but because it appears trustworthy. Its reporting looks authoritative. Children are taught in school that it is what credible news media looks like. This lets the well-crafted propaganda slide into peoples minds, undetected and without resistance.

The western media are so ridiculously deceitful and propagandistic that the fact that popular comedy shows and famous comedians are not making fun of them constantly proves those shows and comedians are themselves part of the propaganda network.

Most mainstream western reporting on Chinese military activity essentially amounts to "OMG you guys China is not just passively sitting there while we militarily encircle it and prepare to attack it!"

Example:

Hundreds of Chinese satellites are currently passing over Australia collecting intelligence on military training activities involving the United States and other regional partners, according to commercial space data obtained by the ABC.-ABC News (abcnews) August 17, 2023

That is what all the banging on about Chinas "military build-up" is doing too; acting like it is alarming and sinister that China is not just passively allowing itself to be surrounded with war machinery amid glaringly obvious western preparations for war without doing anything to defend itself.

China is still spending vastly less on its military than the United States, both overall and as a percentage of GDP. Yet we are meant to act like China is the obvious aggressor nation, even as it is being rapidly surrounded by United States war machinery and increasingly militarized United States allies.

One thing I have learned from interactions with Robert F Kennedy Jr supporters is that many of them sincerely do not understand why his position of "unconditional support" for Israel is such a deal breaker for many anti-imperialists. They think it is all about Palestinian rights, but it is a lot more than that.

Unconditional support for Israel does not just mean supporting apartheid abuses and frequent bombings of Gaza, it means supporting the regular bombing of Syria, the annexation of the Golan Heights, and Israels insane warmongering against Iran. Israel is always in a state of war.

"Unconditional support" for Israel means imperialist foreign policy throughout the middle east. This is not just conjecture - we already see it in RFK Jr.s other middle east foreign policy like his staunch opposition to the Iran deal.

It is a nonsensical, self-contradictory position to claim you want to dismantle the empire out one side of your mouth and pledge "unconditional support" for a nation that is never not at war out the other. If you are saying both, there is one you are not being truthful about!!

This is right up there with "Israel demands correction from Sanders: it killed only 532 Palestinian children in summer 2014".-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) August 19, 2023

There is not enough rage at the United States empire for provoking and perpetuating the war in Ukraine. Objections you see to this proxy war are mostly just griping about how much it costs or whether it is sound strategy or whatever, but how about the fact that human lives are being spent like pennies for the advancement United States global hegemony??

Think about how much it hurts to have one death in your family. Think about how much it rocks an entire community to lose even one life to violence. Mountains of human bodies are being piled up in violent deaths, all to secure United States geostrategic interests in Eurasia. It is pure horror.

The empire had multiple opportunities to end this before it started. It had an opportunity to end it in April 2022. It had an opportunity to end it this past November. But it kept shoving it through to advance United States interests, and young lives kept being sacrificed to the war god.

Meanwhile United States officials openly gloat all the time about how much this war is serving United States interests, while anonymously whining to the press that the counteroffensive is failing because Ukrainians are too cowardly to charge through Russian minefields under heavy artillery fire. This should draw white hot rage from everybody!!

I am probably going to be regularly reminding my readers of this paragraph from IgnatiusPost for the remainder of my writing career.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) August 20, 2023

Basically the United States empires strategy is to use Ukrainian bodies like a giant sponge to soak up as many expensive Russian military explosives as possible.

For western war propagandists Syria was like a dress rehearsal for the war in Ukraine. The lies are being peddled mostly by the same people, using mostly the same methods, funneled up into the same mainstream media platforms.

The only real difference is that the empire is on the side of the official government in Ukraine, so it can simply use its officials and its media platforms as on the ground sourcing instead of setting up a bunch of weird little propaganda constructs like the White Helmets etc. Syria marked a new era of imperial narrative management!!
