Last month, several European and American tabloids ran with a story from a "senior intelligence source" that a desperate Putin was now "scraping the barrel" of Generals, because so many had been killed in Ukraine. So Putin was bringing morbidly obese "vodka-swilling General Pavel" out of retirement to join the fight.
But now, most have quietly deleted their stories, after a Belgian journalist decided to check if the story was true. He spells out the impressive steps he took to uncover the man's real identity here.
The grand finale: Our '67-year old general Pavel' turns out to be the 58-year old Ivan Ivanovich Turchin, veteran of both the Russian military and the Border Guard. He retired in 2011, after 20 years of service at the border in Uzbekistan.
The entire story was made up — typical war propaganda. The real story is somewhere else, while the media pumps out fantasies from the intelligence agencies.

THE MEDIA'S CRITERIA FOR RUNNING A NEWS STORY:
1. Can we use it to disempower citizens?
2. Can we use it to extend government powers?
3. Can we use it to promote the global warming infertility cult?
4. Can we use it to slander White people?
5. Can we use it to disparage Christianity?
6. Can we use it to justify more surveillance?
7. Can we use it to increase migration into Western Civilisation?
8. Can we use it to start and deepen wars?
9. Can we use it to protect our criminal conspiracies?
10. Can we use it to mislead people into lives of despair, self-destruction and loneliness?

Our enemy controls the vast majority of communication technology, and the overwhelming force of the entrenched surveillance network.
The path to any victory is simple: use our strengths against their weaknesses.
Of course, the enemy has been using their strengths against our weaknesses for generations, and they will continue until we defeat them.
What is our greatest strength?
What is our adversary's greatest weakness?

Media Tricks Exposed ✨
Right Wingers are POUNCING and RIPPING! 😱 As usual, the media spins a story about a-left-winger-doing-something-dumb-or-criminal into a story about the right wing reaction instead, rather than the thing itself. "Republicans Pounce" is a very clever way of…
The tired old "Republicans are seizing", whenever they're trying to avoid stating the main point directly
Founder of Grabien Media released a count of the term "election deniers" used by CNN and MSNBC on air.
They expose one of their big weaknesses by using "denier" rhetoric so often. Clearly they fear it and think it is powerful rhetoric. Climate denier, trans denier, election denier. Start asking leftoids if they believe in equality for example, and, when they say yes, call them evolution denier and laugh at them, and watch how they recoil. Denier rhetoric is a powerful way the media uses to program people.
"Denier" neatly skips over the need to prove your case, and implies your case is already proven beyond doubt. In the marketing world it is called thinking passed the sale. You don't try to convince someone of something, you simply talk in a way to imply they are already convinced.
Followers of the media are highly susceptible to "denier" because that is how they built their worldview in the first place, being told what their conclusions and beliefs should be rather than reasoning through it piece by piece. "A denier is clearly a lunatic", they think, "who would deny something if it is proven enough for deniers to be ridiculed? Therefore it must be true!"
