Imperial Ukraine Propaganda

 Imperial propaganda/narratives concerning the Ukraine seek to influence citizen beliefs and manufacture consent for imperial policies. As such, they touch on the very essence of social control, an extremely rich topic which is difficult to discuss in no small measure because social mythology has significantly succeeded in hiding the real world levers of power from the vast majority of the citizenry. They cling to the illusion that we are a democracy implementing essentially good (or at least well-meaning) policies both foreign and domestic. Empirical reality is virtually inconceivable to most who take comfort in lies and deceptions which they need to be aware of in any event so that they can go along to get along. Once you fully comprehend that we are part of a vicious and brutal empire run by elites for the benefit of the elites, things appear quite different.


In 2014 the American led transnational empire instigated a coup in Ukraine as part of its ongoing aggression against Russia for geostrategic reasons. Ukraine became a vassal state of empire, its policies imperial formulated policies, and its military imperial proxy forces (now armed and trained by imperial US/NATO). Britain and Israel are involved as well. Make no mistake, the success of the coup depended significantly on the violence and terrorism of US supported neo-Nazis. This use of terrorists to drive regime change has become commonplace for the U.S. Because of the Trump electoral victory in 2016, plans were altered slightly with the empire content to train and build up the Ukrainian (Imperial proxy) military, along with constant shelling of the Russian speaking people in the Donbass breakaway provinces. All in violation of the Minsk agreements. And we can say with high certainty that the imperial elites are not concerned with the well-being of the Ukrainian people except insofar as it impacts elite objectives. They are pawns on a grand chessboard to be sacrificed as required.


With the victory of the Democrats in 2020 and the return of super war hawk Victoria Nuland, the Ukrainian Imperial proxy forces increased their bombardment of the Donbass making some sort of Russian reaction practically inevitable. Russia's two primary goals are the demilitarization of Ukraine (which I think they will achieve) and the de-Nazification of Ukraine which, at this stage of the game, is unrealistic. It should be noted that the global empire of which we are a part is now in the process of implementing a form of global totalitarianism, support for neo-Nazis entirely consistent with imperial policies and operating procedures. And who does propaganda and mind control better than the Western "Democracies?"


Why now? The American Empire has already achieved two geostrategic victories from their proxy war. First, they stopped the Nord Stream 2 pipeline (a key short term objective) and they have driven a wedge between future Russian-European trade, cooperation, alliances, etc. (an overarching strategic objective). Perhaps the biggest victory for empire was to use the Ukraine "invasion" (I prefer incursion) as a pretext for increased anti-Russian sanctions which if they involve the SWIFT bank clearing system have the potential to collapse the global economy, a necessary condition for imperial desired global restructuring to occur. The process was begun with the COVID-19 global lockdown and this is a continuation of that process.The global political economy needs to be restructured and whoever controls this restructuring will be in a strong position to influence/determine power relations in the new era. And what is occurring is being hidden in plain sight by massive propaganda in an increasingly totalitarian global system.
