For fifteen years\u2014from 9\/11 to Saddam Hussein\u2019s \u201cweapons of mass destruction\u201d and \u201cal Qaeda connections,\u201d \u201cIranian nukes,\u201d \u201cAssad\u2019s use of chemical weapons,\u201d endless lies about Gadaffi, \u201cRussian invasion of Ukraine\u201d\u2014the governments of the so-called Western democracies have found it essential to align themselves firmly with lies in order to pursue their agendas. Now these Western governments are attempting to discredit the truthtellers who challenge their lies.<\/p>\n<p>Russian news services are under attack from the EU and Western presstitutes as purveyors of \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/moscow-accused-of-propagating-fake-news-eu-resolution-on-russian-propaganda\/5558835\">fake news<\/a>.\u201d Abiding by its Washington master\u2019s orders, the EU actually passed a resolution against Russian media for not following Washington\u2019s line. Russian President Putin said that the resolution is a \u201cvisible sign of degradation of Western society\u2019s idea of democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As George Orwell predicted, telling the truth is now regarded by Western \u201cdemocratic\u201d governments as a hostile act. A brand new website, propornot.com, has just made its appearance condemning a list of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.propornot.com\/p\/the-list.html\">200 Internet websites<\/a> that provide news and views at variance with the presstitute media that serves the governments\u2019 agendas. Does propornot.com\u2019s funding come from the CIA, the National Endowment for Democracy, George Soros?<\/p>\n<p>I am proud to say that paulcraigroberts.org is on the list.<\/p>\n<p>What we see here is the West adopting Zionist Israel\u2019s way of dealing with critics. Anyone who objects to Israel\u2019s cruel and inhuman treatment of Palestinians is demonized as \u201canti-semitic.\u201d In the West, those who disagree with the murderous and reckless policies of public officials are demonized as \u201cRussian agents.\u201d The president-elect of the United States himself has been designated a \u201cRussian agent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This scheme to redefine truthtellers as propagandists has backfired. The effort to discredit truthtellers has instead produced a catalog of websites where reliable information can be found, and readers are flocking to the sites on the list. Moreover, the effort to discredit truthtellers shows that Western governments and their presstitutes are intolerant of truth and diverse opinion and are committed to forcing people to accept self-serving government lies as truth.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, Western governments and Western media have no respect for truth, so how can the West possibly be democratic?<\/p>\n<p>The presstitute Washington Post played its assigned role in the claim promoted by Washington that the alternative media consists of Russian agents. Craig Timberg, who appears devoid of integrity or intelligence, and perhaps both, is the WaPo stooge who reported the fake news that \u201ctwo teams of independent researchers\u201d\u2014none of whom are identified\u2014found that the Russians exploited my gullibility, that of CounterPunch, Professor Michel Chossudovsky of Global Research, Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, Justin Raimondo and that of 194 other websites to help \u201can insurgent candidate\u201d (Trump) \u201cclaim the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Note the term applied to Trump\u2014\u201cinsurgent candidate.\u201d That tells you all you need to know.<br \/>\nYou can read here what passes as \u201creliable reporting\u201d in the presstitute <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/economy\/russian-propaganda-effort-helped-spread-fake-news-during-election-experts-say\/2016\/11\/24\/793903b6-8a40-4ca9-b712-716af66098fe_story.html\">Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>See also <a href=\"\/\/www.alternet.org\/media\/washington-post-promotes-shadowy-website-accuses-200-publications-russian-propaganda-plants\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept, which somehow escaped inclusion in The 200, unloads on Timberg and the Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2016\/11\/26\/washington-post-disgracefully-promotes-a-mccarthyite-blacklist-from-a-new-hidden-and-very-shady-group\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Western governments are running out of excuses. Since the Clinton regime, the accumulation of war crimes committed by Western governments exceed those of Nazi Germany. Millions of Muslims have been slaughtered, dislocated, and dispossessed in seven countries. Not a single Western war criminal has been held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>The despicable Washington Post is a prime apologist for these war criminals. The entire Western print and TV media is so heavily implicated in the worst war crimes in human history that, if justice ever happens, the presstitutes will stand in the dock with the Clintons, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, Obama and their neocon operatives or handlers as the case may be.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cwar on terror\u201d has simultaneously been a war on truth.
