Narrative control has seemingly rendered our societies incapable of distinguishing between ‘explanation’ and ‘justification’. There is overwhelming evidence that Russia has considered NATO expansionism to be the main security threat since the end of the Cold War, and that Russia has considered NATO’s incursion into Ukraine to be an existential threat. Yet, our political-media establishment smears and censors any explanation as “justification”. By doing so, they also criminalise any path toward a political settlement to end the war.

The world is undergoing profound change. For many Americans, this change is intense, overwhelming, and confusing. Many don’t recognize it’s happening due to the pro-US hegemony and empire propaganda blitz they’re fed everyday coupled with the economic and social alienation of material reality in the “USA.” Yet it’s still happening.

Over the past two decades, hardline Ukrainian ultranationalists have waged an ever-escalating war on history at home and abroad, with dramatic, world-changing consequences. In the country itself, a highly repressive legal apparatus is increasingly enforcing dangerously skewed narratives of Kiev’s near and distant past, with excessive criminal penalties even for those who unwittingly fall foul of the law. A brazenly politicised battle, it has become turbocharged since the Ukraine proxy conflict’s eruption. Despite widespread opposition, Kiev’s aggressive ultranationalist offensive on history is only intensifying.

Even strategic patience has its limits. Tehran kept a nutcracker on the Strait of Hormuz for 5.5 months. The Empire of Piracy didn’t back off. On the contrary: the reaction, piling up on Trump’s blockade, focused on ruthless, terminal market manipulation keeping oil prices relatively low – using everything from depletion of the Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) to DARPA employing AI tools to manipulate markets.

In a departure from the norm, the Chief of MI6, Richard Moore, admitted that MI6 and its various allied intelligence agencies have been engaged in covert operations against Russia — specifically in Ukraine. The timing was auspicious. Only ten weeks before, the cover of the main central co-ordinating group for all covert ops in Russia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia had been blown.

Now we are in perhaps the Third Cold War, the first being after WW1 and the second after WW2, the West turns up the propaganda campaigns to new levels that include the ongoing denigration of actually existing socialism. Sadly, greatly aided by the Western Marxist facilitators. A good place to start in ridding ourselves of this constant Othering is basic statistics about the human condition and economic growth.
