RT blamed for French Yellow Vest protests

Watch this interview with historian Mark Curtis to understand why Russian state broadcaster RT is so hated by western powers. Too many uncomfortable truths. When did you last see anything in western ‘MSM’ about the British being complicit in the deaths of 8million+ people since 1945?

RT is attacked for its extensive coverage of dissent in the west, but as detailed in this interview, there’s rather a lot for us to be angry about, and given that ‘MSM’ is proven to mostly act as a propaganda machine for elite interests, there is quite a big gap in the market for RT!

Is RT doing it as part of a campaign by the Kremlin to fuel the dissent? Who knows, but if they are, so what? Firstly, the more dissent the better, as radical change is needed to save the planet and its inhabitants from climate catastrophe, and from the western imperialism that Curtis describes - and surely any attempt by Russia to meddle in western affairs is a defensive move against this imperialism? (Russia has been encircled by NATO bases, and countries on its border have been covertly attacked in regime-change operations).

Secondly, the west does this constantly - the US conducts propaganda campaigns in target countries all the time, as part of regime change operations. Why do you think many countries don’t allow a free media, and keep it under state control? Surely, at least partly, because of this threat!

So it is hypocritical as hell for western governments to be attacking RT. We need to realise this, and focus on attacking our ‘MSM’ instead, for being an arm of our corporate, imperial state; for propagating for wars that have killed millions of people; for barely covering climate change and environmental degredation, or informing us about the main cause of it - corporate capitalism, (with the military-industrial complex as the single biggest contributor).

Jeremy Corbyn, and the changes he wants to make (particularly re foreign policy), is the greatest threat to the western elite in decades. Trump is as well - largely because he’s just extremely embarrassing for America’s image as a bastion of freedom and human rights, that many somehow still fall for. With Trump, the mask is lifted.

Russia is the scapegoat to explain away all the discontent that led to the popularity of Corbyn, Trump, Brexit, etc; to distract the masses from the real culprits - our ruling elite and their neoliberal scam of a system.
