This cover-up of that scam is, itself, very big news. How will Western 'news' media cover it? Or will they instead cover-up the cover-up; and, to the extent that they report about it at all, will they charge that the authentic news-reports about the matter, such as this one, are 'mere opinion pieces, not really news-stories at all,' and so simply ignore the solidly documented facts that are reported in these news-stories?
However, is it really fair to expect the public to form truth-based opinions about things of which they are intentionally being kept ignorant, and even outright deceived (such as whether the sanctions against Russia are based on what they were told they were)?
Is the problem really democracy, as so many executives in the 'news' business say? Or is it actually oligarchy itself: that this 'democracy' is merely fake?
Will the Western 'news' media please, just for once, stand up and answer that? Or will they instead merely ignore it, as they ignore other vital truths?
(One high 'news'-executive at one of the largest 'news'-organizations privately answered that question to me by saying "I would highly doubt" that they would ever even consider to make the reality, which they already know quite well, public.)
How much longer can the public accept being raped by the press, and by their allegedly 'democratic' government?
How much longer will they, in fact, accept it?
But how can they not accept it, if they are being constantly lied-to? Is that what the Western press will continue to do?
Big news can have big consequences. But not so long as it's still being kept secret, and lied-about.
Like this. But wasn't Hitler supposed to have lost World War II? And weren't we his enemies? So, why is today's U.S. President leading this restoration of nazism -- of racist fascism -- only this time against ethnic Russians?
In fact, why does NATO itself even still exist, after the Cold War against communism was won? What are we fighting for now? What are we fighting against? Why are we fighting at all, so constantly at war?
Who benefits from this? Why do we allow it?
Perhaps, when a nation's press is like this, controlled by oligarchs, the political drift towards and into fascism is inevitable. A 'democratic' fascism results if the public are deceived by an oligarchy. Racist fascism becomes then the way to build a passionate reactive compliance among the public, so they're devoted to destroying what the oligarchs want them to fight and kill, thus to grab for the oligarchs land and resources the oligarchs want to conquer. Such a reactive passion among the public produces for oligarchs cheap soldiers. It cuts oligarchs' costs, and thereby increases oligarchs' profits. The idea that the press is merely a passive component in the body-politic is false; maybe it's actually an oligarchic fraud. But, in any case, a press like this doesn't merely result from racist fascism; it produces racist fascism. And maybe that explains what is happening in our time. Maybe that's it. Maybe this press doesn't merely result from fascism; maybe it causes fascism. Maybe that's why Hitler posthumously is winning the ideological war he waged against America's President in his time, FDR. Maybe that's how fascism is taking over America, at last.
If this is the case, then the answer to our title-question is, of course, likewise clear.
