John Pilger: From Yellow Journalism to China Bashing, the Media’s Enduring Role in Promoting War

https://www.mintpressnews.com/john-pilger-propganda-journalism-china-bashing-media-role-promoting-war/284509/

Former PLA Colonel Zhou Bo has come up with a fascinating formulation - and he's essentially correct.

"The true battleground in the US-China Cold War will be Europe. Not the Global South, where the US has already lost, nor in the Indo-Pacific where few nations want to take sides."

The Pentagon gamed all options in Taiwan - and they all spell doom. Total domination of Europe is Plan B.

🇺🇦☠️And this is the cemetery in the town of Khmelnitsky in western Ukraine.

As in many other areas, it is filled every day with fresh graves of AFU soldiers who refused to lay down their arms and take them up.

Every day we can see the West actively fighting "totalitarian" Russia through "peace-loving" Zelensky, who thinks only of his own interests.

All Quiet on the Western Front

One of the major themes of the novel is the difficulty experienced by former soldiers trying to revert to civilian life after having experienced extreme combat situations. This internal destruction can be found as early as the first chapter as Paul comments that, although all the boys are young, their youth has already left them. In addition, the massive loss of life and negligible gains from the fighting are constantly emphasized. Soldiers' lives are thrown away by their commanding officers who are stationed comfortably away from the front, ignorant of and indifferent to the suffering and terror of the front lines.

The largest previous LFR deployment was the 2017 Notting Hill carnival, when 100,000 faces were scanned.
Fussey said: “A surveillance deployment for the coronation would likely be the biggest live facial recognition operation ever conducted by the MPS, and probably the largest ever seen in Europe.
