October 21st: ‘The Social Reckoning’ Is Deep State, Pro Censorship Propaganda
thefloutist.substack.com/p/trump-and-the-rrrrussians
Shannon Vond (?) on NPR was again laundering warmongering russophobic (etc.) Democratic Party and "Western" 'spook' propaganda regarding the US elections October 23rd (and over the following weekend?). I doubt that the quoted academic in Florida (?) monitors the propaganda and "mis- and disinformation" continually being sent out by the UK, Israel, the EU, FR Germany, Canada, the ROK, Taiwan, the Ukrainian and other Eastern European rightists, etc. Months ago NPR's Deanna Temple Rastin (?) was laundering sinoophobic and anti-Korean propaganda for the US government on NPR. The BBC is even more devoted to warmongering about Russia (and also Korea and Ba'athist Syria, now on Saturday mornings pre-dawn, on Austin Tice (?) ). Again, they seem to take a strangely softer line on "communist" Cuba then they have on capitalist Venezuela and Iran.
