This Year’s Pulitzer Prize Award Has An Anti-Russian Infowar Agenda
Andrew Korybko
The Pulitzer Prize Board awarded its eponymous prize for “International Reporting” to The New York Times “for a set of enthralling stories, reported at great risk, exposing the predations of Vladimir Putin’s regime”, which not only further discredited the so-called “Fourth Estate”, but also stands as proof that it harbors an anti-Russian infowar agenda.
The Russian Embassy in the US condemned the Pulitzer Prize Board’s awarding of its eponymous prize for “International Reporting” to The New York Times “for a set of enthralling stories, reported at great risk, exposing the predations of Vladimir Putin’s regime”, describing it as:
a wonderful collection of undiluted Russophobic fabrications, which can be studied as a guideline on creating false facts.”
The six articles and two videos that were responsible for the outlet receiving that “recognition” shared the theme of military-intelligence intrigue, be it accusing the country’s GRU intelligence agency of involvement in several shadowy assassination attempts across Europe or claiming that businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin had a hidden hand in election meddling in Madagascar, for example.
Other assertions that were made by the “journalistic” pieces in question also include the Russian state’s complicity in carrying out war crimes in Syria.
As has become the norm in the Western Mainstream Media’s reporting about Russia, an abundance of unnamed sources, fabricated recordings, and disreputable sources were relied upon to push fearmongering narratives about the Eurasian Great Power.
The conclusions that were reached – or rather, “reverse-engineered” after first determining the meta-narrative and then subsequently fleshing it out from a variety of geopolitical angles – were predictable enough because they perfectly conformed to the “politically correct” interpretation of President Putin’s global intentions.
It’s for that reason The New York Times’ pieces were “celebrated” by the Pulitzer Prize Board with this supposedly “distinguished” award in an attempt to “legitimize” them for posterity. The Russian Embassy in the US, therefore, did the right thing by condemning this charade as Russophobic and describing The New York Times’ work as “a guideline on creating false facts.”
That said, the success of the Pulitzer Prize Board’s efforts to manage global perceptions about Russia as part of the West’s ongoing Hybrid War against it is dependent on whether their targeted audience even cares about what that institution says.
In theory, the Pulitzer Prize is supposed to be one of the most distinguished awards that any journalist or outlet can ever receive, but it’s actually more akin to an elite club commending its own members.
To explain, the Pulitzer Prize Board counts among its ranks representatives from The Washington Post and even The New York Times itself. It also includes other professionals as well, such as those from Bloomberg, National Public Radio, and a few folks from academia.
Prior to Trump’s rise, these figures might have been almost universally respected, but the American President has since opened the eyes of a broad swath of the country and even the world more broadly to the so-called “Fourth Estate’s” insidious political agendas.
Trust in traditional media is dwindling by the day, meaning that the awards ceremonies that they preside over are becoming similarly less prestigious as well. This holds true for the Pulitzer Prize, which is only meaningful insomuch as someone respects the “Fourth Estate”, the Pulitzer Prize institution itself, and the latter’s particular members of the board.
It can be argued that a considerable proportion of people don’t care all that much for any of them anymore, which further diminishes the soft power sway that they hold over the population.
In fact, it can even be said that their awarding of the Pulitzer Prize for “International Reporting” to The New York Times for its blatantly obvious infowar attacks against Russia actually erodes whatever “credibility” those said pieces might have previously held among some of their targeted audience since it’s natural to suspect them of having a political agenda nowadays that secretly influenced their decision.
That’s precisely the problem with any journalistic award given to a piece that even remotely has any relevance in the political sphere since it’s all but impossible to convince the public that it was independently decided for purely apolitical reasons.
This is especially so in the context of the ongoing New Cold War, the US’ “deep state” divisions, and the active efforts of the latter’s media surrogates to undermine Trump’s promised “New Detente” with Russia over the past few years.
Interestingly the US and Russia made some unexpected progress on improving their relations last month after Moscow urgently dispatched counter-COVID aid to America and their leaders closely cooperated to revive OPEC+, making one wonder whether the “Fourth Estate’s” attempt to “legitimize” their anti-Russian fearmongering narratives might have also been partially intended to offset this positive development.
Looking forward and keeping in mind the Pulitzer Prize Board’s adherence to the top fearmongering narrative of the past year, it’s entirely predictable that next year’s winner of the “International Reporting” award might have something to do with disparaging China in a similar fake news-driven manner as they did with Russia.
Of course, that also depends on whatever else happens across the next 12 months since it’s entirely possible that the Russiagate narrative might once again be resurrected ahead of the November elections, especially in the event that Trump is re-elected.
Nevertheless, the takeaway is that the Pulitzer Prize and other similar ones awarded to those whose work is even remotely political can’t be said to have been decided independently since they’re inextricably connected to the “Fourth Estate’s” “politically correct” considerations.
For this reason, they shouldn’t be taken seriously by any objective observers and should continually be called out for what they are.

“Russian interferance I elections?” Pwha! As opposed to complete Israeli take over and interference in US politics?
Foolitzer prize is right up there with the nobel prizes.
Peace prizes handed out to war-mongers and economics prizes handed out to umurikan neo-liarbrels.
I want to blurt out that it’s hard to believe that any thinking adult would have anything but contempt and derision for these supposedly prestigious Establishment awards.
I mean, it’s true enough, but perhaps “thinking” needs to be qualified with “perspicacious” or “discerning”. The would-be Western intelligentsia thinks they’re “thinkers”, but their kind of thinking is more along the lines of conformist “groupthinking”.
The Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes are to the vaunted intelligentsia what the Oscars, Grammys, and Golden Globe awards are to the Hollywood/entertainment industry proletarian thralls– vacuous, pretentious “Bread and Circuses” glamor and glitter for the skyboxes.
Ah the latest “Poultry Prizes” handed down by the Elite Media including NpR, the Official Liberal Tranquilizer, to its very own “scribes” for what appears to be their plagiarism of previously published work by investigative “liberal, anti-Putin Russian journalists” as revealed by Ben Norton of The Grayzone Project, one of our few “gold standard” alternate media sites because it’s still seeking to find & publish the ever elusive Truth: https://thegrayzone.com/2020/05/08/russian-journalists-ny-times-stealing-story-pulitzer/.
But what can one expect from the NYTimes with its “World-Renowned Columnist”, Thomas Friedman, winner of 3 “Poultry Prizes” before serving as “Cheerleader in Chief” for the Invasion of Iraq? And after the late, great media critic, Edward S. Herman’s documentation of the NYTimes’ 100 years of anti-Russian propaganda: “Fake News on Russia and Other Official Enemies: The New York Times, 1917-2017” 7/1/2017 by Monthly Review.
So many layers of lies to cover The Plutocracy’s imperial crimes: we’re truly deep into the “Bread & Circuses” stage of The (fast-falling) Empire now…except that, no thanks to the CV-19 Hoax…there’s now less and less Bread (& toilet paper) for the more and more Unemployed! Fodder for an opera to be premiered by The Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center…but will anyone survive to write it, much less find an orchestra & actors to perform it, plus an audience to attend? Meanwhile the automated Reality Show reels on 24/7 from the White House whether our Twitter Commander-in-Chief is in bed or on stage to entertain his MAGA masses & infuriate what’s Left of “The Liberal World Disorder”.

The facts of Flynn’s setting-up have been known for years, yet only now has it been admitted by the laughably misnamed ‘Department of Justice’. Yet the LUNATICS at CNN, MSNBC refuse to face facts even now, making the psychopaths at FoxNews look sane. As for the methods used, these are Standard Operating Procedure if a victim is a Palestinian American running a charity, or a ‘terrorwist’ set up by an FBI provocateur.

The lie machine NY Times falsely reported today:
Tompkins County, NY has 24 COVID fatalities and is #1 in the country for “highest average daily growth rate of deaths.”
The ACTUAL figures as of 5/7/2020 7:30 PM in Tompkins County are:
Total tested: 4,587
Total Positive Results: 134
Total Negative Results: 4,102
Total Deaths From Tompkins County: 0
They kind of got it just a wee bit little wrong eh? This is an indicator species of the accuracy and overall credibility of the “paper of record.”
Tompkins County is in Upstate NY, where Ithaca, NY is located, where Ithaca College and Cornell University are located.
1. Putin’s Russia stands in the way of a one world unipolar dictatorship.
2. The NYT is one of the bulwarks of the organized talmudist liar fake news media.
Enuf said.
Does it? Recent developments suggest it would have no problem with a globalist government provided its own interests were being served. Let’s recall, Russia isn’t in opposition to NATO imperialism through idealistic purity, but because that NATO imperialism has threatened its own existence.
Well, in that case why do the US deepstate, the Five Eyes mafia, plus Israel hate him (personally) so much?
In 1932 the NYT won a Pulitzer for propagandizing for Stalin, hiding the man-made famine that followed the extermination of the most skilled Russian and Ukrainian peasants. The NYT’s Walter Duranty shared the Pulitzer for painting a positive picture of the banker-backed Bolshevik seizure of Russia.
Ninety years later the NYT wins a Pulitzer for its unrelenting demonization of Russia given the failure of the U.S. banker-backed attempts to seize control of Russia after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.
At least the NYT is consistent in its service to the bankers and their unintelligence lackeys.
Yes indeed, the Times has learned its lesson from L’affaire Duranty.
Where an oligarchic seizure of Russia- now frustrated-is concerned, denying facts will not be the path to its Pulitzer, insisting upon fiction will be.
The oligarchs successfully looted the Soviet, much of the gelt being transferred to Israel, and other Western states.
Lol. The Graun can’t bring itself to admit Russiagate is busted.
‘The former US special counsel Robert Mueller has previously demolished Trump’s claims about his investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia …’

Guys Putin is a nasty piece of work. We dont need to speculate, we know. I have no doubt Russia tried to influence US election, the hacking of the DNC email conversation re Sanders was damaging to Hilary. Was it enough to swing the election for Trump. I have no idea but i’m inclined to doubt it.
So while i think the focus on Putin somewhat over egged by Democrats who now see Russian interference around every corner, thereby sustaining the anti Putin narrative; whether Trump supporters or not, being apologists for Putin, is no different than Dems recently making apologies for China and WHO, to berate Trump.
This binary equation nonsense is very destructive, it appeals to the ends justify the means paradigm. That can lead people to quite nasty types of behaviour.
Your attempt to use fact-free certitude to set parameters on debate is noted. There is still, however, NO evidence the DNC was hacked, and NO evidence Russia made any attempt to influence the election. This is admitted even by those claiming these things as fact.
The DNC hack was real. the emails were released to public, now maybe it was an inside job, but that is still hacking of a sort, even if as you seem to be inclined to not beleive Russia was involved. Why wouldn’t Putin want to interfere in US elections? hed be the first Russian or Soviet president who didnt.
It seems pretty obvious to me that Putin would if he could. Russia has its self interests at heart. Are all the international hit jobs carried out by Russia a fiction? Polonium in London etc….is all that false flag?
United Sates openly interfered in UK brexit referendum, with Obama’s implied threat re trade..interference on elections takes many forms. But they all interfere with eachother. So it is rather naive to think otherwise.
You see this is why i travel alone re the warring sides, you are all losing perspective.
You prove nothing by conflating Obama with Putin, though that would make for lively cocktail talk. There is no evidence the DNC hack had anything to do with Russia – and even less that it served Russian purposes. On the contrary, the Democratic Party was at war with itself and Seth Rich paid the price.
Not even Foreign Policy magazine dares to contend that Putin “preferred” Trump over the Clintstones. There simply is no evidence and even less logic.
Polonium – yawn. It’s like Novichock. You have to pick it up and smell it to guess cui bono. Would you take all the heat of an international scandal to eliminate some nobody? Would you kill a fading opposition leader like Boris Nemtsov in view of your own office? Sure, in a third-rate spy novel. And that is exactly what the British unintelligent services do.
Mi-sicks have a work in progress. It is called, Russia: The Third Rate Spy Novel. Written by third-rate hacks like Luke Harding, so much of an expert he can’t even speak Russian. I don’t take it seriously and nor should you.
Ive answered this reply but its not showing here. have no idea why. The Obama attempt to blackmail UK population was an example that even this sort of public interference takes place. I was not claiming it was like for like.
The DNC email saga most certainly damaged the Dems, especially Hilary, and rightly so. There was a massive furore. Who else did it benefit other than Trump?
Would Russia order a hit if they KNEW they would cause international heat. No, but if they thought using polonium a rather novel way to murder someone, would be undetectable they yes. Otherwise they would just gun him down. Why use Polonium unless you want to avoid detection? That was lightly circular reasoning.
So we have British secret service running around poisoning Russians and other assorted bystanders so Uk can punch above it weight. That to me sounds far more far fetched than Putin trying to interfere and stir the pot re US elections.
Alex Litvinenko’s own father doesn’t believe Russia killed his son.
Yasser Arafat was murdered with Po 210-was that Putin, too?
The DNC e-mails were leaked not hacked. They revealed the criminality of the DNC in rigging the nomination process for Clinton. The assertion that Russian/Soviet Presidents all interfere in the US election farce is a great, Big, dirty, lie. Well done. Then you have more disinfo bulldust (are you gullible or disingenuous?)and finally some truth concerning the greatest interfere of all, the USA.
It was Seth Rich, who was promptly bumped off for his trouble.
One of a long trail of dead bodies behind the Clinton clan.
Arkancide.
This is terrible.
How do you live with yourself? That is a rhetorical question, (no need to answer). Reflect. Change your wicked ways!
Bye.
My wicked ways? Have i sinned father? 🙂
From Craig Murray’s blog:
“During a visit to Washington in September 2016 which has become somewhat infamous, for fun I entered an establishment of low repute and spent an afternoon giving out free flash drives with my tips to various young ladies and barmen, just to give the FBI lots of particularly wild geese to chase. I have wondered occasionally whether subsequent embarrassment is connected to Robert Mueller’s lack of desire to accept my evidence. (If you have no idea what I am talking about do not worry, you haven’t missed much and just skip this para).”
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2020/04/cia-spying-on-assanges-privileged-legal-conversations/
Putin is a successful politician with many achievements to his credit.
He probably has his faults and less savoury characteristics, like all politicians.
If he doesn’t, he’s the only politician on the planet who doesn’t.
Like all foreign leaders who fail to kowtow to the kosher elite in Washington, he is endlessly vilified and demonised by the bought and paid for whores in the MSM.
He is the new Hitler. Like Saddam Hussein. Like Assad. Like Xi. Like Maduro. Like Evo Morales. Like Castro. Like Orban.
Ok, that’s all that was missing, the kosher reference. I expect that at somewhere like zerohedge, sort of surprised its included in the narrative here.
“I believe in the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost, Saddam Hussein’s WMD, the Iraq Incubator Babies, Russiagate, the official account of 9/11, and the innate goodness and wisdom of those who rule over us, and their MSM, world without end, Amen.”
Maybe I’ve been a bit hard on the authorities – so as my celebration of the NYT award for ‘proper’ journalism in a world full of misconceptions, misunderstanding and fake news I gladly offer this:
way to go ………………..
It seems rather appropriate that this prestigious award for journalism should be won for obvious propaganda.
The Russian gate serves a domestic agenda far better than it does their international agenda, that is why the US are, as you point out, often engaging with Russia in a positive way.
Like me, you probably expecting ‘the left’ or the press to peruse Trump’s many crimes highlighted during the election campaign. This did not happen, instead the press and the democratic party hijacked any interest that there might have been in Trump’s illegality or Trumps abuses of power into the dead-end Russia-gate pantomime.
This served the ‘political opposition’ as much as it served trump. It keeps his real criminal activities and abuses of power, which the Democrats are also very keen on maintaining, away from public scrutiny and it removed the need for the democrats to provide policy alternatives to Trump’s massive tax cuts, military spending and deregulation, which the democrats secretly buy into.
The Democrats don’t want to offer the population popular policies that affect their donors and have crushed anything that remotely resembles help for the working population contained in the Bernie Sander’s campaign.
So rather than earn the popularity of the voters the Democrats would simply say trump is worse than us, but in a way which was ultimately self defeating and resulted in trump looking better than them. Trump has been such a boom for Democratic sponsors I doubt they are even interested in removing Trump now.
Russia gate also meant they were not forced into prosecuting trump for crimes, that they themselves are fully engaged in. Hunter bidden’s activities in the Ukraine is a very good example, there is not much that Trump is doing that the Democrats haven’t done or plan to do when they get into power.
From day one, I realised Russia-gate was an operation like so many operations in the USA to maintain the illusion of democracy in a one party state, and if that ultimately undermines the institutions of democracy, as it probably has, then that is another win for the deep state and security establishment that underwrites these operations.
Generally on point. But this is a total non-sequitor:
According to your theory, they shouldn’t have impeached Trump over Ukraine, because it was Biden’s crime, too. So why did they? (I left out Hillary Uranium One deal with Russia, but you get the point.)
They did impeach him, but they dd not find him guilty of anything I believe because there was no evidence against him. The charge against trump was that he asked for Hunter’s employer to be investigated as a condition of military aid or sales. So an abuse of power.
In covering this case the media exposed the absurdity and corruption of hunters employment at 50,000 a month in an area where he lacked any expertise, clearly as a government gift to Biden.
It also came to light that Biden had used US aid as a way of pressuring the Ukraine to sack a prosecutor who was investigating Hunter Biden’s employer, exactly the same accusation made against Trump.
So my point is, Trump may have been guilty but absurdly so was Biden of exactly the same crime and more. So if the only crime the Democrats chose to prosecute trump for, implicates and exposes themselves for the same or worse crimes, it is clearly never in their interests to pursue him. What are they going to charge him with? tax fraud, insider dealing ? the democrats are deeply in all these areas. Nancy Pelosi gained 100 million dollars whilst in power, how?
The Pulitzer Poodle is clearly an attempt to add some validity to the Russiagate hoax. Only the kind of people who read the NYT still believe such BS – and I mean that kind of people… the retainers who serve the feudal lords and thus need to absorb the accepted line on everything.
On a day that has been stolen from the british people by the ruling regime it might prosper some to reflect on yet another ‘war celebration’ – no, I don’t mean the west’s love of WW2 but the celebratioin of 45 years since the end of the American War ( what – only one?)

But I understand temporary charity carpark hospitals are not uncommon in the US, it is often the only way the working poor can get the healthcare and dental care they need.
And we have probably produced enough PPE to last us the rest of this century.
The major story about Russiagate is yesterdays capitulation by the DS in dropping the ‘case’ against General Flynn.
I say ‘case’ because it no longer was. The case was over, he was tried and he was found guilty, infact he had ‘confessed'(?), and was awaiting and waiting sentencing- to a real prison.
All because the DS and their media whores and hordes of alt-news/bloggers and btl green monkey troll army had been unleashed the day Hillary lost, to get their way come what may and do whatever it takes!
It means that the very top of the FBI and other 3 letteted agencies committed a criminal conspiracy against Flynn and others. They LIED and CHEATED.
It has been revealed because of one (there aren’t many) of the great things about the American system – it’s ‘modern’ constitution, which allowed many ancient law customs in favour of the Kings to be annulled and made available to all. Even as it is attacked and degraded with newer powers ever since.
There are still lawyers and judges who can deliver justice in the US with tenacity – such as Sidney Powell – what a great lady!
Many of the top spooks and ‘law enforcers’ should be criminally tried and punished, including Flynns previous lawyers who colluded with the DS in getting that untrue ‘confession’. But being election year and Trump the dealmaker …who knows?
So what should interest us in the UK about it?
Well the Russiagate collapse should light up the blowback to our own DS – with the Steele memos, Skripals, Mifsud, Dearlove…the whole rotten bunch. It should expose our media collusion, the integrity iniative and the 77th. It should track it from the Blairites/Cameron’s undeclared wars on Libya/Syria, our part in isis/White Helmets and poison gases of LeMesurier/de Bretton-Gordon. The Syria PR campaign and novichok experts and reporters, the Urbans / Hardings / Elliots of our mainstream and web media.
Most urgently it should mean that Assange ‘case’ must be dropped and he should be immediately released.
But then again we don’t have a constitution.
That is the real news.
The Russiagate stocking and coverage by the NYT and the Clintonites obsession with war and poking Putin, makes that hollow award the sham it is. (Like the Nobles).
If there was a ‘pulitzer prize’ for alt news – Off-G may well deserve to be on a short list.
Good post.
I definitely prefer you to the other one(s) who posts under this name.
Pip pipe – it’s all me.
”It means that the very top of the FBI and other 3 letteted agencies committed a criminal conspiracy against Flynn and others. They LIED and CHEATED.”
More entertainment than reality me thinks. The FBI were crucial to Trump electoral victory. They effectively declared Hilary Clinton a criminal in the weeks leading up to the voting period and their agency have, like the military, been showered with gifts both civil-rights-breaking and financial since Trump’s election.
No. Hillary was CLEARED by Comey about her personal email server being used for her ‘work’.
Get it right mate.
I have no idea why you are lying but, at the start of the voting period in the US, Comey declared that Clinton was under investigation, effectively declaring her a criminal, just in time for everyone to vote for Trump, whilst withholding any statements about trump. They clearly helped him and were rewarded for it.
I know there are a lot of people who want to hide that FACT, you lie if you want to, but I will tell it exactly as it happened.
FACT , j(j)
July 5, 2016
https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/statement-by-fbi-director-james-b-comey-on-the-investigation-of-secretary-hillary-clinton2019s-use-of-a-personal-e-mail-system
Other weaselling too in that statement – look it up yourself.
Don’t waste my time everything I say above is absolutely correct and you know it.
Two separate issues, ladies. Cease hostilities.
”Hillary Clinton on Saturday cast blame for her surprise election loss on the announcement by the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, days before the election that he had revived the inquiry into her use of a private email server.” Nov. 12, 2016
And she was right the FBI did swing the election for trump. The election was in November, you really are the most disgusting liar.
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/us/politics/hillary-clinton-james-comey.html
I understand me saying this underlines the US security agencies conspiracy to get trump elected, which is totally contrary to the fantasy being fed to the public, that he was at odds with the CIA and FBI. Trump showed his gratitude after the election with more surveillance powers and increased budgets.
Ok jj using YOUR NYT (ahem) whinging AFTER the election.
Pay special attention to that last sentence. 2 days before ? Most people make their minds up before.
And this
And i see that there is no mentions of Russian interference. You know the one that both Hills and FBI made up after that instant blame meme failed.
She lost it. Because she was crap at campaigning. Even in a choreographed pantomime with a pussy grabbing villain to knock down. I watched her campaign – stride out on stage in her trademark pant suit, point and smile at someone random. Give a wave. Wobble back into the car. With help. Yeah reeeeal charasmatic.
Excuses excuses .. no it was FBI and ever since it was PUTIN , lol the lying liars are obvious. It ain’t me. It is just another excuse for you now the russiagate is busted too.
I understand your pain. Cry. Cry a bit more. Let it out. No one left to blame except herself now, is there?
I clearly hit a raw nerve. No amount of your BS will change the facts.
“clearly hit a raw nerve”
Yup you did j or j, my optic nerve.
You obviously didn’t expect me to see your idiotic link.
Be seeing you 👌
Fool
Yes you are.
Keep reminding yourself before trying gaslight and flim flame your easily discernible bs on us.
Clinton blamed EVERYONE but her loathsome, hateful, unelectable self.
She was right to blame the FBI swaying the election, that is what they did. It was clear electoral interference. I really don’t know why anyone would deny that.
Because, you don’t even mention Seth Rich, Julian Assange DNC Corruption & “Operation Crossfire Hurricane”, & many other illegal FBI actions of a far greater nature bordering on TREASON.CO and abuses of Law & Authority! & even more significant considerations, like Hillary’s engagement of the Brothers Awan, for IT Guys, stealing government servers lock stock and smoking barrels of embarrassment, hidden in a lift shaft, for the Whole Private Details & Files of Congress & The Senate, Dems & Reps, alike :- every single members’ bank & card details & much much more…
You might like to research “Operation Charlemagne” and Josef Mifsud, too, if you wish to get up to some form of legal speed in prosecutions pending ? You surely don’t believe that Creepy Joe has a chance, do you ?
Otherwise, your unjust poorly informed opinions will remain just that. Jack(jimmies clueless notions) :),
just wait & see. We can expect much reveals itself, on both sides of the pond, before the elections:-
Reclaim Your Agency, wherever you live.

Stop Corrupting others’ professions & vocations
Architects & Engineers, are watching carefully.
Institutions like RIBA, with new Lawyer chairman,

Wake up Jack 😉 WTC7 & Enron & Monsanto & GE & BP & the US D.o.D. experimenting with weather engineering & HAARP as a “Force Multiplier”, from 1997 onwards officially, actively making speculation possible, in the form of derivative fund management schemes founded on their Chicago Mafia Mercantile Exchange … What do you know about WTC 7, jack? or are you still in on the hi-jack deceptions, touted by the sidekick Psychic BBC ? Do you accept you were wholly lied to ?
Yo Tim thought you’d shot thru! Hope all well.
I still won’t believe it till I see charges against the Comeys and that leads straight back to Barack and Hills…
But I like the noises William Barr is making. – looks like he brought a pair of Mr Smiths to Washington- and they seem unstoppable!
Boy does that pathetic rant need a fluffer, and he found one in you.
Ok Jack or Jill , whichever identitypolitical flavour you prefer today – you WIN – your argument, gacts and citations have full merit and are utterly irrefutable.
If I have understood correctly and to summarise your position what you are saying is :
“wah wah wah – i hate you, i’m running off to join Hillary in her final stand – you’ll all be sorry. Sob sob sob”
Ok kiddo – off you go tumbling down your hill.
Yo, DG, know well what you mean and I still won’t believe anything, anymore, until we have more than just the C.O.’s of Psychopaths indicted: I mean specifically, if Trump does not re-write the historic miraculous malicious controlled demolition of WTC 7, (official causation, fire), all to enact Phoney Wars & Surveillance methods, & mask Missing US D.o.D. $$$Trillions$$$ in action, in his second term, then he was all just hot air &
good for nothing …
Hope all is well with you and yer’ not taking any form of media too seriously, now. Believe me, as an analyst, you can no longer take the FT or any form of other media seriously, with odd exceptions, more in German.
When you think about what Bill Barr has to deal with, he’d probably love to strike a deal with Julian Assange, though this would displease many of her majesty’s highest deepest implicated civil servants, as stated by not just myself in the past, after Hannigan’s sudden departure, now … when was that?
Do remind me … 😉

Boy are you confused.
You clearly know jack-shit about what went down, before, during & after the US elections, behind the scenes of the FBI/CIA & Cambridge Analtyica’s role, in conflict with Google’s best gov.backed analytics, with Sergei Brin & Alphabet CEO Eric Schmidt firmly supporting Hillary’s team and yet still, they ALL LOST, SEE? You have much technical & legal ‘stuff’ to read up on & research, if you wish to relieve yourself from blithering ignorance & a total state of desperate confusion…
It was always obvious that Trump would win in 2016, so obvious, a few of us even warned you well in advance publicly and at the Guardian, of the key factors swinging votes, that you and all the Hill/shills blatantly ignored, even up to & including election night, when I switched off the TV, smiling, already knowing Trump had won, long before Megyn Kelly’s tears and the final Electoral College results … being the key!
Next you’ll be telling us that there is no such thing as the Deep State … 🙂 neither in the UK, nor the USA ! Is anybody home ?
You alright, Jack ?
Don’t forget our own boy spy, Alexander Downer, who was in at the beginning, verbally Papadopoulos, and ratting on him to the US Deep State, initiating the whole conspiracy. I really hope to see the hereditary scum-bag doing porridge. Five years will do.
Yup Richard its coming home to roost.
Thanks for all the up votes – everyone is supposed to do the other tick for me.
Maybe there is a ‘Whoosh’.
Let me repeat myself
“If there was a ‘pulitzer prize’ for alt news – Off-G may well deserve to be on a short list.”
Lets’s try that voting again?
Check which Putin was consulted – the guy on the left, or the guy on the right!

He’s had a lot of work.
It’s been so long now since I’ve given a damn about what the NYT or the WaPo say that it almost feels like another lifetime. One thing is certain: I was a different person back then!
It’s just like the Oscars in Hollywood: it’s an industry celebrating/promoting itself. Lots of insider back-scratching and in-fighting; most of us on the outside remain indifferent.
The name Oscar happens to mean “champion warrior” and the statue is of a Knights Templar.
The official story of why they’re called Oscars is transparent bs.
The the MSM (or minitru in Orwellspeak) is a dream come true for any aspiring psychologist. This absurd fixation with Russia and latterly China is quite deranged. It is, I think, what psychologists/pyschiatrists call ‘projection’ – i.e., falsely accusing others of what you are doing yourself. Thus Russia invaded and meddled in Ukraine. Well what in fact actually happened was American NGOs, including most prominently the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) were openly meddling in Ukraine from the get-go and actually admitted as much. Moreover, US Ambassador Pyatt and the Under Secretary of State for Eurasian and Eastern European affairs, Victoria Nuland (wife by the way of neo-con headbanger Robert Kagan) were openly sympathising with rioters and handing out cookies in Independence Square during the Maidan events. Moreover, both were caught in a telephone conversation about the make up of the next Ukrainian ‘government’. Ah but you see the invisible Russian armoured columns invading Ukraine were perfected by the devious who got the idea from Star Trek. They had carefully studied the Klingons who had invented a cloaking device and operationalised it.
Prior to this was a reinforced NATO’s marching right up to the Russian border installing short and medium range missiles in Poland and Romania and then accusing Russia of aggression! It really is childlike. I just wonder how many of these people actually believe it. I suppose that it comes from living in a bubble among dreams of conquest and power. A condition not far removed from schizophrenia.
The Western MSM presstitutes are thoroughly vetted for Rightthink on employment. Any deviation ends your career. Thereafter it is a matter of performing like a trained weasel to impress the tiny, and ever shrinking, coterie of current or future Bosses. Hence the totalitarian Groupthink, without a sliver of deviation, and the gradual expulsion, voluntary or forced, of any with a conscience, a form of unnatural selection for the worst. But very much the most dire manifestation of all is the stupendous narcissistic arrogance of these liars and hypocrites.
Francis, you left out that the US spent five billion dollars on the violent coup d’etat in Kiev.
Journalism has changed. The new enthusiasts are rough at the edges but their mistakes are less egregious than the MSM: the enthusiasts are NO LESS RELIABLE than the corporate media. Readers of this site know many of them but please share new names.
With the death of the Drudge Report (taken over by a Google associate) we are going to have new aggregators filled with new reporters. Then we can go out and promote the new journalism, rather than just this blogger or that vlogger.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING: share your discoveries. Share the new journalism. And here’s the latest of Jason Goodman’s wonderful walks around New York: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNwD3cAvjow
BellEnd scat.
Bell’end Scat is as crapulous as all the fact-checking scams. There is no shortcut to doing one’s own research. Sadly there are still lots of numpties* out there who believe that if you ask a money-grubber to check facts for you, they’ll really put you straight fer shore.

As George Carlin said:
‘It’s a club and YOU ain’t in it’
Or as Zappa once sang:
I watch https://www.ukcolumn.org/
They have some good reporting.
But they are far to pro Putin and Russia. As an independent news channel attacking the Government and its leaders. How long would ukcolumn be able to continue reporting if it was inside Russia criticising Putin and the Russian government. There freedom and possibly there lives might be rather short.
I agree there is far to much anti-russia propaganda. The hole RussiaGate hoax to bash Trump and stop better relations with Russia.
The west can not report honestly on the war in Syria . We have little honest independent mainstream media.
Then you have the ironically named Integrity initiative and the 77 th Brigade countering Russian Propaganda. In reality producing there own propaganda.
Sadly much of the West’s economy is based on selling weapons around the world in competition with Russia and China. The fact that the USA spends who knows how many trillions on it’s military , making the economic business model of selling weapons way past stupid. But it is really about control. Our evil empire is better than your evil empire.
You know when a dictator we have supported for decades will suddenly be declared evil and mad. The moment he stops buying the west’s weapons and starts buying Russia or China’s weapons
On balance, Brian, I share your points but ask yourself why the obsession with Russia exists. Has that far off land REALLY been a threat to the British state for several hundred years. Because that is how long Britain has used Russia as a punch bag. Seriously, ask yourself: why Russia? If the Secret Intelligence Service was abolished tomorrow and you were put in charge of setting up Britain’s new secret service, how would you enumerate the principal threats to Britain.
If you’re setting up Britain’s new secret service, you ARE the principal threat to Britain
If I were the new left-wing benign dictator, I would merge MI5 & Mi6 with a much-reduced budget and using one or other of their present buildings, and selling off the other one (or making it a shelter for the homeless, or find some other socially beneficial use for it).
I’d leave them to choose which building to use.
They’d all be fighting each other so hard, like rats in a sack, that they wouldn’t be troubling me or anyone else much.
Then I’d put special branch on traffic duty.
With all that, and stopping all UK participation in foreign wars, Britain would be a much safer place.
Oh, CRAP. There is plenty of anti-Putin media inside Russia. He does not interfere because, as the Saker often notes, allowing the ‘liberal’ pro-Western Fifth columnists to spew their treachery, only makes them more despised by most Russians. As for dead journos, none have been offed for some time, and the others mostly crossed oligarchs and Mafiosi. None are suffering anything like the horror inflicted on Assange, or the large-scale slaughter in US favourites like Colombia. The bulk of your post does seem congruent with the facts, as I see them.
”How long would ukcolumn be able to continue reporting if it was inside Russia criticising Putin and the Russian government. There freedom and possibly there lives might be rather short.”
How long? I don’t know and frankly I don’t care. Well being a foreign policy realist more than I care about the internal affairs of Paraguay or Zanzibar. Interfering in the internal affairs of a powerful sovereign state – like Russia – is not a good idea. What I am concerned with is the de facto insane drive by the Anglozionist empire to go to war against Russia. All the human rights bullshit is just to prep up western publics for the ‘righteousness’ of this inane planned conflict. This dangerous meddling with the internal arrangement of a powerful sovereign state on the basis that we must save those poor people ‘whose freedom and possible their lives might be rather short’ is so much sentimental tripe. You don’t like their internal arrangements? Well, perhaps they don’t like yours – so what. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
The self-righteous and sanctimonious bleating of the ‘free-world’ are not only, given their own human rights record, hysterical and hypocritical, but also extremely dangerous.
Is it too much to ask for a sane, non-judgemental foreign policy outlook as outlined in the UN laws?
Sorry got a bit carried away. But I get a little peeved when I read this sort of pretentious bullshit.
Quoting you:
“How long would ukcolumn be able to continue reporting if it was inside Russia criticising There freedom and possibly there lives might be rather short.”
– This is the anti-Russian propaganda that in the next sentence you complain about.
Russia has a different political system than the US. Putin has his critics, but he remains a popular leader in Russia.
I study the language and access Russian tutorials and travelogues on youtube channels.
Russians are not a miserable, oppressed people, I assure you. In my experience they are generally intelligent, friendly and open, and much less obsessed with identity politics than people in the West.
It would last as long as it was solvent. What decade do you think this is?
American journalists need to drop the prefix “award winning”. It’s becoming a joke. Like the Pulitzer prize itself. The NYT’s Walter Duranty was a lickspittle journalist who managed to stun even fellow-travelers like Malcolm Muggeridge with his deceitful reports covering up the famine of 1932-33.
The Pulitzer committee to this day refuses to with draw Duranty’s award. Even the NYT has acknowledged Durant’s deceit but the Pulitzer poodles have twice refused to acknowledge the part they played.
New York Times Statement About 1932 Pulitzer Prize Awarded to Walter Duranty: https://www.nytco.com/company/prizes-awards/new-york-times-statement-about-1932-pulitzer-prize-awarded-to-walter-duranty/
Times Should Lose Pulitzer From 30’s, Consultant Says: A Columbia University history professor hired by The New York Times to make an independent assessment of the coverage of one of its correspondents in the Soviet Union during the 1930’s said yesterday that the Pulitzer Prize the reporter received should be rescinded because of his ”lack of balance” in covering Stalin’s government. https://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/23/us/times-should-lose-pulitzer-from-30-s-consultant-says.html
The Pullitzer Prize is one of a large number of similar prizes that are awarded in the US on a periodic basis.
There is also the Pimp Of The Year Award, where the most successful pimp is chosen and lauded by his peers, usually large flamboyant black men sporting garish outfits.
Or the Best Anal Sex Of The Year Award, where massed ranks of Stormy Daniels types select the lucky winner.
They are all probably of similar importance, though the first is infinitely less entertaining than the others.
Yah, they don’ call it a Pullet Surprise fer nuthin’.
“All the News that’s Print to Fit.”
Those who think that COVID narratives will fade away in a year or two after useless for many likely harmful for some as usual SC2 vaccine is developed , think again and heed the lesson of another hoax with deadly consequences so called a live and well after four years Russia Gate accusing Trump a flaccid clown of oligarchy of being Putin’s Manchurian candidate in 2016. Old hoaxes die hard only because of protecting legacy of political opportunists who peddle it for money and power.
“….Reported at great risk.” That is hilarious!
If you call some people ” Russian” you have missed the boat completely.

The Pete Buttigieg of newspapers.
My gag reflex was exhausted by the time I was half-way through this. The New York Times – ah yes, the “propaganda of record” – newspaper – literally.
The corruption of Western institutions is complete, total and absolute – from the so called human rights groups like Amnesty and Human Rights Watch, to the OPCW, to quite obviously the Pulitzer committee. In retrospect it appears an act of great foresight that the Nobel committee preemptively awarded Obama his “Peace Prize” – (before) – he starting bombing, and drone killing, and before he overthrew Ukraine and turned Libya into an open slave market. Timing is everything obviously.
If the Pulitzer committee is interested in a good story with a “Russian slant” it might want to ask the NYT’s management if anyone on staff has thought to perhaps ask MI6 where oh where the Skripnals might be?
I didn’t read it as it looks like a nationalization spin.
Govts love nationalized sleepers.
Warmongers like it too.
The Skripals might have gone back to Russia as a hidden deal between UK and Russia. He’s served his time in Russia for whatever and the Russians would have no difficulty in letting him live out his days as a free man with his family. He agreed to take part in the Salsbury and Steele dossier charades as the price of being allowed to return to Russia.
Thats the best nobbyjoke conspiroid for while jonhny, have a prize biscuit, catch! 😜
johny – Yeah, I’m sure Putin would gladly accept and willingly agree to hide the Skripnals in Russia in order for him to be able to continue to play along with the massive Western anti-Russian (new Cold War) propaganda operation.
