That was absolutely hilarious sarcasm. But sadly,as dumb as some are in the West,they’ll believe that’s a “real” video of RT.
NATO propaganda is only projecting its “Operation Mockingbird” media system onto its enemies. Even thier lies(invented Russian troops and arms deliveries, fabricated satellite photos) are always the same.

Poll: Merkel, Obama, Erdogan “Liars of Year”
TEHRAN (FNA)- German web platform Alles Schall und Rauch has conducted a poll among its readers to determine who they think is world’s “liar of the year”. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, US President Barack Obama and Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan “won” the first three positions.

(BTW, the middle liar ‘leiter’ there is not even German; she’s a Pole but that’s what was foisted on the hoi polloi there.)
““CIA Influence On Mass Media: How Disinformation Campaigns Work”
Practice appears to suggest that “work” is an assertion based on projected holograms, and that only information exists, although obscured by framing and the use of the binary.
The projection of sole or prime agency is always a vector of opportunity.
Well I saw this yesterday I smelled a fish and guess what, you are right.. its being sent around as RT exposed…
Notice how UN is selective in its condemnation or praise.. Nothing about Christians getting clobbered.. But if you have money, you too can get a UN endorsement.
The YPG arrested the director of the SCD or what ever.. A front for the white helmets.. That soros uses as a stage to blame Assad for everything.. Setting up stage managed events. Can you imagine the UN actually gave them an endorsement for doing such great work. I saw a spick and span clean team of models digging people out of bombed out buildings.. Most likely blown up by the moderate terrorists firing rockets into civilian areas and then blaming Assad

Yemeni Houthi rebels killed the leader of #Saudi campaign in #Yemen
Saudi commander of special operatios forces, Col. Abdullah al Suhiaan reported killed in Aden.
So now we have YPG, Christian and SAA women’s brigade.. Same Christians who were killed the ottomans when they tried to kill off the Armenians.
The brigade was established in the summer of 2014 and consists of around 800 female volunteer soldiers who fight alongside the Syrian Army.

Uncle Bob 1,
For Truth in Reporting! RT, nice video, Terrible Reporting!
Bob, I get your point: “That was absolutely hilarious sarcasm. But sadly,as dumb as some are in the West, they’ll believe that’s a “real” video of RT.”
Unfortunately, “sadly,as dumb as some are in the West,they’ll believe that’s a “real”” -independent analysis by RT.
Yes, nice sarcasm from RT. But today, 12/4/15, RT failed miserably. Their headline: “Le Pen’s National front loses in 2nd round of French regional elections.”
On the most important thing, RT News (and their controllers) are lined up with the Zionist Americans, against the nascent European resistance. And that European resistance is the best hope for a Russia allowed to exist in peace and freedom, rather than under the guns of the Zionist Americans, and their IMF, EU, NATO financial and military Terrorist organizations.
Mirroring the Zionist American analysis from their major propaganda organ, the “NY Times,” the RT printed a disgracefully misleading, and pro-imperialist Zionist-American diatribe against the French National Front, and its leader, Marine Le Pen.
Read it again. “Le Pen’s National Front loses in 2nd round of French regional elections.” – RT
https://www.rt.com/news/325813-france-regional-runoff-fn/
Here is the “NY Times” article, with almost the same headline, and the exact same analysis, – –
“National Front Party in France Is Dealt a Setback in Regional Elections” -NYT
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/14/world/europe/france-regional-elections-national-front.html?ref=todayspaper
Let’s have the Truth:
The French National Front, lead by Marine Le Pen, surged as it won vastly increasing support from the French electorate – in both the 1st, and the 2nd round of the French regional elections.
In a 3 way election, between the (Zionist American) Socialists, and the (Zionist American) “center right” (as described by Rt) Republicans, and the French nationalists of the National Front, (and with the Socialists and Republicans combining theior electoral efforts against the National Front), The National Front of the Le Pens gained more votes and the highest percentage of votes in their history in both the 1st and the 2nd round of voting. Additionally, the National front has surged to the front of the French political struggle, —As The Largest Political Party in France!!!
After the 2nd round of votes, the National Front leaders were defiant and pointed out that the so-called ‘victory’ of the combined Centrist-Right and Socialist parties, had “shamed’ their leaders. The Zionist American owned BBC also joined in the mis-directional analysis of the French election.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=9&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjB6Oer5NvJAhWHpB4KHdUhBbYQqQIINTAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fworld-europe-35088276&usg=AFQjCNFVzmxEkvZ779FZVed-QVY-Mqx6eA&sig2=jHhxAqK4yhwyiqks0YaYNQ
The actual figures of the votes for the National Front’s 2 leading candidates should make the point.
Marine Le Pen-42.2% to 57.8% for the combined Zionist American political puppets.
&
Marion Marechal Le Pen-45.2% to 54.8% for the combined Zionist American puppets.
France is the Political Center of Europe and the World. These elections are important!
In France, the rebellion is surging forward, with the Le Pens, and Alain Soral’s Equality and Reconciliation alliance, and Dieudonné achieving growing support for their efforts.
Rt, NYT, BBC, You are all disgracefully incorrect. You are all Liars. Unless I have forgotten my 3rd Grade math from PS 206 in Brooklyn, the National Front won both the 1st, and 2nd Rounds of the French regional elections.
For Truth in Reporting!
For the Democratic Republics!
Mr. Antonsen,
I understand your anger with the results of French regional elections and the media coverage of the same.
But, think a little bit…. did Marine Le Pen deserve this, as some kind of divine justice? I mean, she betrayed her own father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who was hated way more then his daughter is. The reason is simple: he dared to touch into subjects which are untouchable, like the holocaust of 6 million Jews.
Yes, you are mostly right with your conclusions. It is hopeless. isn’t it?
Best regards
p.s. Do you have any information, btw, about Alan Soral’s and Dieudonné’s comments about the false flag in Paris on 13th of November?
The Wend,
Marine Le Pen’s split with her father is a bit of a mystery. I am not a resident, (only visitor) of France. Soral had some critical analysis of Marine Le Pen’s differences with her father. He also has a better approach to the issue of African immigrants/refugees, (Equality & Reconciliation), as also does Dieudonné.
The point is, that, if you listened to her speeches that were posted on this website, Marine Le Pen Specifically- advocates -fighting With Russia, and With the Syrian Army of Assad against ISIS. The French National Front supports the survival, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the Arab Nation of Syria; and as such, the National Front is hugely more sympathetic to the Arab peoples, than America and the Zionists, or their Socialist puppets.
Think of it! When we speak of the Army of ISIS/DAESH, we are actually referring to the Zionist-American terrorist army (with Turkish, Saudi, & other hirelings for cover). Additionally, the Russian Government has insisted that “thousands” of the ISIS/DAESH soldiers originate from the Caucasus.
Divine justice comes to us all. However, the RT disgraced themselves, along with the imperialist media in their biased coverage that Favored the Zionist American puppet Socialist and Right Center Republican Parties.
A more balanced, although biased anti Le Pen and anti-Russian, article covering the election can be found here. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/dec/14/the-guardian-view-on-the-french-elections-front-national-fails-to-gain-power-but-its-defeat-is-only-partial
Dieudonné & Soral have been superb in their exposé of the false flag in Paris. My French is very weak, and I rely mostly on the English subtitles (when available), for French events. You can google from their websites.
It is never hopeless. It is not over until the fat lady sings. And Hilary Clinton can’t sing a note.
Stiff upper lip!
That subject you speak of is also untouchable in Russia. Thanks to a law passed under Putin last year, Le Pen would spend five years in prison for challenging the official narrative on that subject in Russia.
Who is the Zionist again? You tell me.
Depends on your model Peter.
I believe Le Pen’s National Front is a trojan horse for NATO-Gladio.
I’m not RT’s biggest fan but it is reasonable to assume they are attacking FN because they know something you don’t.
When Hollande and Sarkozy work together you know they perceive not a political threat but an economic one — threatening to their backers in the French oligarchy.
This is a war: all against all. Our ‘democratic’ choices make no difference if we are only privy to the mirage.
RT has been attacking the ONLY people that have supported Russia and Putin through the last two years: European nationalists that want to preserve their cultures. When the entire world turned against Putin, they stuck by him. I would add to this group anti-empire American patriots, who spread the truth about Ukraine and the Internet the best they could.
These days RT sounds like the BBC, Libération or Canal+, insulting those nationalists and patriots day in and day out with all their subtle accusations of racism, etc. It truly is sickening after all that’s happened.
And let me tell you what, European nationalists are getting truly sick of it. Soon, Putin truly will be isolated.
I mean, what the hell happened? Two years ago, RT was a daily stop for me in keeping up with international news. Look at what it’s become! I can’t stand it.
C I eh?
“I believe Le Pen’s National Front is a trojan horse for NATO-Gladio.”
Certainly, Hollande’s Socialists and the Syriza are also Trojan horses for the Zionist Americans.
If we “assume” RT (a so-called ‘News outlet’), knows something relevant to explaining/analyzing the French National Front, and they do not print that information, that is yet another disgrace on their heads. Why do they not elaborate on “the holocaust of 6 million Jews” that The Wend referred to?
By way of analogy, If the Rt, or Russians (or Chinese) have any information about the Zionist Oligarch’s assassination of President John Kennedy, and do not reveal it, they are accomplices, not only in the cover up, but in the very crime itself.
Maybes and assumptions are inadequate.
As I wrote earlier:
The election that has just taken place in France is exceptionally important and must be properly analysed, regardless of one’s opinion about the contesting factions. If you write about it, tell the truth; do not hide any relevant facts. The RT and the other imperialist media, did not tell the truth, and they certainly hid important facts.
The elections in the center of Europe are vitally important. The speeches (essential promises) made by the Le Pens must be examined. And her opposition, including the media controlled by the Zionist American Oligarchs, who have furiously opposed the National Front, before, during, and after the election, must be examined. Or why bother at all?
Just why do the imperialist media hate Marine Le Pen so much? Try answering that? Has she, or has she not sold out? Specifics comrades!
Trotsky might say that Marine Le Pen is a member of the petite bourgeoisie, and therefore, will betray the working class. But I wish to know what she promises, what her opposition promises, and what the vote for her National Front (some 6.8 million) means. In America, Ralph Nader, an individual who also (I’m guessing here) does not meet Trotsky’s criteria for being a proletarian revolutionary, once received 2.5 million votes (2000). Yet they were the highest expression of American resistance to the Zionist Oligarchs who control our country. Yes, we need more resistance, and better organization. So why bother with a serious analysis???
Nader’s votes were some 7% of the American electorate. The National Front’s votes approached 27.4% of all the votes, more than 6.8 million. Marine Le Pen received 40.2% of the votes in her district. The National front is France’s biggest party. Nader’s votes were important, and Le Pen”s votes are just as important and necessitate (are deserving of) a serious analysis. Le Pen’s speeches (links posted on this website) made clear what the NF voters were voting for.
France is the key to Europe. If it’s people move to the barricades they can unwind the NATO terrorist alliance, and save the world. If they don’t… So let’s take a look.
For the Democratic Republics!
My intuition is that the French will always prefer Gaullism to Atlanticist shenanigans, but Marine Le Pen is still struggling to lay claim to the heritage.
I don’t see RT being really against the FN. But I don’t see them being for them either. I would like to see an op-ed or so “for” them. But in their normal reporting I’m fine with them being neutral and just reporting what is happening. That’s what I’d like all news to do. Its the op-ed pieces that should show partiality to one side or the other.
I agree with you that the elections show the FN to be the strongest “single” party in France right now. But as I’ve written about before,the French system was designed to prevent parties like that from having power. It was meant to assure the elite to control the elections by letting several parties gang-up together and out vote a single party. Unless in any election a single party can gain over 50% of all votes they are open to that happening to them. And in a system of multiple parties its difficult for one to gain over half the votes in an election. It things get much worse in France of course that could change.And the FN or another party might get the over 50% vote. Making a 2nd round not happen. But we’ll have to wait and see on that. In the meantime the elites have pulled one more trick out of their bag.
Uncle Bob 1,
Agree mostly.
RT, however, did not accurately report on the French elections, or their results, and continues to misrepresent the results of the French elections, today-12/15/15.
They feature another article today that is hostile to the National front, (& clearly supportive of the 2 Zionist American puppet political parties in France). Rt appears to be owned by the Zionist Oligarch land thieves.
https://www.rt.com/news/326022-le-pen-hatred-charges/
1. Marine Le Pen is cleared (found innocent) of government charges of inciting hatred.
2. But that doesn’t stop the Zionist RT from throwing insults at her.
3. They double-down on their (and the imperialist/zionist/american media, NYT, BBC, etc.), insistence that the Political Party that most increased their vote total in both phases of the Regional French election, actually lost.
And the -National Front- did this well despite the Zionist/American controlled French government pursuing a politically biased Court Case against NF party leader, Marine Le Pen.
And only after the voting was concluded, did the French imperialist government allow the court to acquit Le pen of the baseless charges. So the election was a rigged affair; and despite the trial, the National Front greatly increased their votes, and tripled their number of elected Councillors to the regional (state) governments (a fact also not mentioned by Rt, and most of the rest of the pro-imperialist media).
One more ‘defeat’ like that, and Marine Le Pen might become President.
It is not necessary to support the National Front, or not, for the people to demand truth in reporting from the media. And look at who the RT is supporting!!!
For the Democratic Republics!
THAT is the truth!
It is a wonderful fun-self-satire.
The Western liars bastards and genocide-helpers’-helpers could never create such a phantastic video – not in a 100 years!
Shared also this one on fb and tw …
Love the video! Funny and witty.
OT:
Today on Greg Hunter there is an interview with the former CIA officer Scott Uehlinger. This is a very curious interview that is something out of character for Greg Hunter’s usual type of guests. Scott Uehlinger is going heavy on blaming Obama on not acting on the Oil smuggling by ISIL and other ills. He is going out of his way to present the CIA as an innocent party who just follows the orders from the Obama administration. CIA is in a damage control mode? Please watch and share your opinion.

What fun!! Sorely needed in these dark times.
Funny how the channel is so good, and the web-site so poor.
Thanks for the laugh.:O
@Anonymous 12:03
That’s definitely interesting, It’s becoming impossible for the US agencies to continue posturing on the moral high ground – too much is coming out.
Excellent article here on the oil smuggling operation via Turkey and the role the Georgian port of Batumi plays:
http://m.journal-neo.org/2015/12/09/oil-tests-may-prove-one-test-too-many-for-erdogan/
Genel Energy (the main Anglo-Turk operator) is a Rotschild company. And – surprise! – ‘Kurdistan’ (run from Erbil by the Barzani clan, not the PKK or Syrian YPD – they would nationalize the wells if in control) is a Rothschild project …
Another O&G matter of interest, along financial lines but probably not so OT as it may seem. I saw that West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was around $37/bbl the other day — oil co.s are leveraged to the hilt, up the handle for the frackers. Wonder at the purpose of exposing the “ghost oil” skam just now. These things are never for no reason.

I don’t regularly go to Greg Hunter and he’s actually, as far as I have seen, pro-Israel….sad….
But he still interviews interesting people sometimes…his image is an ‘american kind of guy’
But oh well….Alex Jones too…I’ve heard he’s very pro-Israel, although I’m not so sure he’s pro-Zionist….but he still uncovers alot of bad things going on in the world and the US….and they both have alot of viewers…
I guess we can’t expect all Alternative Media to be perfect…or ‘on the same page’.
I’m starting to get a feeling Alex Jones is in it now just for the money.
His headlines have been more sensationalist than factual lately, which of course intrigues and attracts readers to click through and therefore brings more ad revenue etc.
A masterpiece of comedic film making. RT is multi-talented, they continue to surprise. There’s something profound about the way all the characters in this video (including the surprise at the end!) can make and take a joke. Is this typical Russian humor? If so, sign me up! Also, can you imagine any news agency in the west doing this? This is humor and this is Sanity!
It is! I simply love Russian sense of humor.
It reminded me of the kind of stuff the “old gang” at MAD magazine did 45 years ago, when there were no sacred cows and biting sarcasm was king.
Satire: LOL they have all the cliches–I love the belching bear the best
Yup. I earn $5 million/year in my spare time, trolling for RT. They’re spending billions, don’ cha know.
sign me up. I wanna make millions and gazalions of dubloons!
Sorry boys, official Russian measurements for money are “bags”, “wheelbarrows” and “trailers” :)
Just make sure you bring your own shovel :)
I saw this earlier and I am still howling.
They have transformed every western stereotype of Russians into caricatures and created brilliant satire.

Yeah, back a year ago I was critical and complaining of RT…but I’ve come to realize how good they really are. I go there every day for ‘news’….its like MSM except its the real news….
And Crosstalk of course, is a Saker favorite, and mine too….
And I like ‘IN THE NOW’ as well….there’s about 5 or 6 new ones every week…and they are super short and to the point with good music.
“but I’ve come to realize how good they really are.”
Perhaps the process and other processes could be accelerated if notions of aliens are dispensed with, along with notions of entitlement and level of understanding.
The Neocon’s Hegemonic Goal Is Driving The World To Extinction
My warning that the neoconservatives have resurrected the threat of nuclear Armageddon, which was removed by Reagan and Gorbachev, is also being given by Noam Chomsky, former US Secretary of Defense William Perry, and other sentient observers of the neoconservatives’ aggressive policies toward Russia and China.
Daily we observe additional aggressive actions taken by Washington and its vassals against Russia and China. For example, Washington is pressuring Kiev not to implement the Minsk agreements designed to end the conflict between the puppet government in Kiev and the break-away Russian republics. Washington refuses to cooperate with Russia in the war against ISIS. Washington continues to blame Russia for the destruction of MH-17, while preventing an honest investigation of the attack on the Malaysian airliner. Washington continues to force its European vassals to impose sanctions on Russia based on the false claim that the conflict in Ukraine was caused by a Russian invasion of Ukraine, not by Washington’s coup in overthrowing a democratically elected government and installing a puppet answering to Washington.
The list is long. Even the International Monetary Fund (IMF), allegedly a neutral, non-political world organization, has been suborned into the fight against Russia. Under Washington’s pressure, the IMF has abandoned its policy of refusing to lend to debtors who are in arrears in their loan payments to creditors. In the case of Ukraine’s debt to Russia, this decision removes the enforcement mechanism that prevents countries (such as Greece) from defaulting on their debts. The IMF has announced that it will lend to Ukraine in order to pay the Ukraine’s Western creditors despite the fact that Ukraine has renounced repayment of loans from Russia.

Revival of Greek Culture in Syria: Interview with Operation Antioch
Operation Antioch is the direct result of two things. The failure of Arabism and the ongoing Rûm Genocide in Syria at the hands of Islamic Terrorists funded and supported by Turkey and Saudi Arabia, as well as their Western Allies. Our Activist network was born out of an evolving dialogue between several Levantine Rûm living in the Levant and a Greek-American Activist on the history, identity, and current situation of Levantine Rûm. Operation Antioch came “online” in late 2013 with a demonstration outside the Turkish Consulate in California, to protest Turkish support of Terrorism inside Syria. The demonstration, which was a coalition effort of Greek, Armenian, and Assyrian-Americans, was follow by OA Activists participating in a rally in Israel against the mistreatment of Christians throughout the Levant.
The ongoing Syrian War has devastated our people. Since the conflict began, we have been labeled “sympathizers” and “infidels” by Islamofascists, and marked for extermination by such terrorist organizations as the FSA, al-Nusra, and Daesh. Numerous Rûm-Syrian villages have been abandoned by our brethren, forced to flee for their lives. Our religious leaders have been abducted and murdered, our churches desecrated and destroyed. Even the cultural sites of our ancestors, dating back to the Hellenistic period have been targeted for destruction. Those of us brave enough to remain, live in constant fear, as terrorists have even gone as far as to poison traditional Rûm beverages. Forced to endure inhuman living conditions, without food or water, our brethren are forced to depend on humanitarian aid from the Syrian State and International Organizations. Our only refuge has become Wadi al-Nasara, as our people become the victims of a coordinated Genocide against all Syrians of Rûm, Aramean/Assyrian, and Armenian descent. For us, our very existence is at stake.

The Nazi’s are coming the Nazi’s are coming.. German imperial propaganda ministry said they are thinking of sending in ground troops if no improvements with bombing… (most likely if IS can not make any gains with close air support of the Luftwaffe on the western front against Russia)..
But first this important real world announcement….
Very hard to get real info on Yemen.. According to MSM everything is fine.. Yet every day we see the yemeni invaders taking more and more areas of other countries under their control. But not according to MSM, the terrorist fishermen are being slaughtered by the thousands.. Also the capabilities of these barefoot what ever are just amazing.. Being able to hit boats using unguided missiles.. Argentina could sure have used some of them.. Using guided bombs seems to show impressive results.. How come the ukies who used to manufacture these missiles cant even hit a barn?

How the Gulf Arab Rivalry Tore Libya Apart
Qatar and the UAE have deadly opposing interests in the North African state.
Last month, the New York Times exposed leaked Emirati emails revealing the UAE’s shipment of arms to certain Libyan militias—in violation of a UN arms embargo—attempting to weaken Islamist groups allegedly sponsored by Qatar. Other leaked emails show how the UAE offered Bernardino León, former UN mediator for Libya, a high-paying position as director general of the Emirates Diplomatic Academy, which he accepted while serving his then-role as mediator. Given the UAE’s outright support for the Tobruk government, many have called into question the viability of the UN’s ongoing efforts in light of the perception that León’s impartiality was compromised by a conflict of interest.
In maintaining a legal, political and military campaign against political Islam, the UAE shares the Tobruk government’s conviction that the Islamist militias which have held Tripoli for the last sixteen months are “terrorists.”
Fighters loyal to Libya Dawn believe that they are waging the struggle against Qaddafi loyalists and authoritarianism by fighting forces loyal to the UN-recognized government in Tobruk. Whereas Qatar’s efforts to create a strong alliance with Egypt during Morsi’s presidency did not pay off, Doha sees Libya as an important battleground in the emirate’s ambitious foreign policy agenda.
In fact, one of the UAE’s main motivations for sponsoring the anti-Qaddafi uprising was to secure lucrative deals in the country following the dictator’s fall. In 2009, when Dubai’s real estate bubble burst, developers in the Emirates looked abroad, and viewed Libya as a valuable opportunity.

The ISIS media team have recently released yet another propaganda film (possibly titled something like “See you in Dabiq”), presumably aimed at attracting more disaffected Sunni males to their cause. It presents ISIS in a very caring light. They prepare nice healthy food at their camps, wash the dishes carefully etc. It also makes a big deal of several old tanks (T-55s ?) and a number of armored personal carriers (Soviet style BTRs ?) which are filmed making flying leaps over small sand berms etc. It also has obvious CGI depictions of the destruction of Rome.
The film has typical high productions values. One obvious thing is a deliberate red color cast. Why bother, unless it is there to make the settings more desert-like in appearance. Towards the end of the film there is a short shot of the interior of one of the BTRs. The console labels are all in (American ?) English. This is followed by several cross cut shots of the BTR being driven into a river at high speed. When the color cast is removed (so white is white), the soil is grey rather than reddish, a building behind trees on the bank has a sloping roof, and in the background there is a ferris wheel.
Hmmmm. Grey soils, a sloping building roof and a ferris wheel doesn’t seem very Middle Eastern to me.

While we are on the subject of media, take a look at this item by the BBC-the chief MSM crap chute working on behalf of the Empire:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35091734
If you take the time to read the article carefully, you will see that there is no mention of the fact that it was the British PM David Cameron,who almost within hours of, the incident started saying it was ”more likely than not” that the crash was caused by a bomb on board the aircraft. Those were his exact words ”more likely than not..”.
Now hear the disdain and sarcastic tone used in referring to the official investigation carried out by the Russian government; ”after finding what it said..”.
”Russia has said a bomb brought down the Metrojet Airbus, after finding what it said were “traces of foreign explosives” on the debris.”
Its all done subtly, and just the choice of words used is done with the aim of discrediting and casting aspersion on someone or something that is at odds with the Empire.
For example, in its reporting on Syria, the BBC almost never use any term that would convey any legitimacy to the government of Bashar Assad.The term ‘Regime’ is always used. And when something happens, Damascus is never quoted, instead it is always ”activists ”or ”opposition figures” or the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights( a 1-man show run out of the UK based on biased twitter feeds emanating from Syria).
The West have long deployed the Media as a weapon that is wielded to further the aims of the Empire. What irks them is that others like Russia has catch on and are now using their own media to pierce through the veil of ignorance that has been cast over people world wide.
Viva RT!
Viva PRESS TV!
The same BBC that used footage of a celebration in india to show the liberation of Tripoli?
The very same BBC that broadcast live that WTC7 had fallen down when the building was standing in the background for another hour..?
Sadly, a lot of Americans are so dumbed-down these days that they would consider this a documentary.
for example, the people of Woodland, who voted against a solar farm because it would suck up sunlight and prevent photosynthesis, not to mention the extreme toxicity of solar panels

That was hilarious, tears streaming down my cheeks, worthy of UK’s Not The Nine O’Clock News from the the 1980s. You don’t see anything that funny on British TV these days. Loved the final shot of Putin too, couldn’t see Obama or Cameron taking part in a video like this. Respect!
Russia sets three conditions to overcome jet crisis, says envoy
Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov said Russia awaited three steps to be taken by Turkey in order to overcome the tension between the two countries and mend ties.
Karlov set an apology from the Turkish side for the downing of the Russian jet leading to the deaths of two Russian soldiers as the first condition, while he said they expected the people responsible for this act to be found and held account. The third condition was for Turkey to pay compensation for the damage Russia has come across as a result of the incident.
“If our expectations are not met, Turkey’s other announcements will not pay off,” Karlov was quoted as saying in an interview with daily Cumhuriyet on Dec. 14.

I am happy that RT can inform me via satellite. I am Italian and, similarly to many other western countries, all our media are on the hands of banksters. They have lot of money; so no doubt they can spend as much as they want to corrupt and distort the reality. Anyway, from my viewpoint, the trend is clear and constant: more and more people are waking up, laughing at any Obama and his vallets speach! Good luck
Gayane Chichakayan : RT’s anti-propaganda bulldog! She trashed Kirby again today–he was so unnerved that he denied 3 times ( something symbolic about that somehow) that the US tortures. This woman is awesomely persistently politely self assured. Kudos to her.

Watching the vid now, thanks blue. RT should broadcast this kind of thing more often. The British media are really protective of their global domination, aren’t they? They don’t try to hide it. They’re showing their cards. Like an uptight professor scolding a child, they don’t want to argue about hegemony, they simply state it doesn’t exist. Like their empire never ended… and of course, in a way, it didn’t. They don’t seem to understand how surreal BBC world sounds to anyone who has access to a different opinion. The statistics mentioned are very interesting, I wonder how many people actually watch CNN outside of airports and hotel lobbies these days.
It was amazing to hear that BBC woman say that it could not be hegemonic because it broadcast in different languages. (I suppose the Ukrainians in Kiev can’t be Nazis because they aren’t speaking German?).
Yes, RT should have more involved and longer discussion like that. It doesn’t have to be fancy.
RT has the fancy tech stuff down fine. Their producers, editors and photographers are very good at what they do. Their increasing audience over ten years has been impressive. If they can do conferences like this, why not put them on late at night or something for those who have the attention span? There are (or used to be) shows in Western Europe (e.g) Germany which have long drawn-out debates with several guests… glasses of wine and informal chat, etc. That format could work, you know, put it on at 2AM Eastern time… it would be cheap, too. Indeed, the BBC continues to surprise in its self love. Very interesting to hear the Chinese and Russian perspective at the end, along with the perspective on VICE, i.e. the Disney connection. Some more behind the scenes media stuff would be great. Following the money is always a good strategy, there were interesting revelations all over the place in that discussion. Thanks again.

says USA is still planning a systemic provocation against Russia……………………
“A photograph from almost 100 years ago has some on social media convinced that Russian leader Valdimir Putin is immortal. The picture, taken in 1920, shows a Russian solider who has an uncanny resemblance to the country’s current leader. What’s more, another photo taken of a Russian solider in 1941 also looks just like Putin and the man who was pictured 20 years prior. Some think this is definitive proof that Putin is much more than a 63-year-old workout buff with a penchant for riding horses shirtless. These people instead believe he is a mythical creature who is ageless and can time travel.”
Daily Mail today-well. I hope he is.
It should have been even more sarcastic, but I enjoyed it very much. Believe it or not, many sheeple think it is the real thing. And I am still waiting for my first cheque from the Kremlin as a special rooskie troll! You know, there was a time when I thought we were the good guys…
PS, was that Lavelle in the cell? I think it was.
Peter Lavelle or a look-alike. His accomodation is in the Lubyanka, didn’t you know?
Oh dear, am I on some kind of blacklist?
Seriously folks, can I ask why my comments no longer get published? I have never once abused any of the rules nor even tested them, I think… It seems odd that a friend of Russia would be banned. Some kind of mistake? Please inform me of the reasons my comments are blocked.
Love it !
