I like trying to interpret official photos for any hidden symbolism and when I looked at the photo from this article I was thinking... that's camellia on the right, yeah? So, ideas of tea (camellia sinensis, iirc), but also, maybe, a part of the plot of Sanjuro, with Mifune Toshiro? There's a pond there, anyway...
And what's with the tree bending leftwards? I'd have to look up this guy and see whether he's visited Yasukuni shrine before making a final determination...
Tearing down posters of #Zelensky...
Yes! Do it!
Wait, what am I saying?
See these posters are #Kremlin disinfo in #Budapest, #Hungary, lies about #Ukraine. And crowds are tearing down all the #propaganda and lies as a statement of disgust with #Orban and #Putin, shouting "Ruszkik Haza" ("Russians go home")

I know enough of the old testament of the bible to predict what scene in the Iran lego propaganda video is the scariest to christian nationalists:
It’s Khamenei handing the staff to Khamenei, and the staff is growing vines and leaves.
That is an epic reference. Christian nationalists are gonna have nightmares for months! 🙂

In some parts of the Western world, we're taught that jury-by-peer is a bastion of fairness, but what is a peer?

I suggest that this propaganda isn't all it's cracked up to be. I offer Nuremberg and Man in a High Castle as exhibits A and B.

"...Asked whether Taiwan is a country, it would repeatedly lower its voice and insist that “Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. That is an established fact”..."
@hans And we are not giving them any room. #Reporting does help.
Also check the instance they are on. I have encountered several instances that were actually hosted in #Russia and spreading hateful #Russian war #propaganda. In that case report this to the admin of your instance and suggest to them to #defederate that instance.
Russia‘s #propaganda #botnets are going all in with their German Bundeswehr anxiety today. They REALLY don‘t want more of that. All of these are fake of course. The last one (next post) is particularly funny. #matryoshka
Chris Hedges: The Banana Republic of the United States

Every dictatorship is a grotesque opera buffa. No encomium is too outrageous. No bribe too small. No violation of civil liberties too extreme. No stupidity too absurd. All dissent, no matter how tepid, is treason. By Chris Hedges ScheerPost El Presidente…

Heads have rolled at the BBC, but not due to a journalistic blunder – it makes them all the time. It foolishly deferred to the billionaires in the political battle over image-laundering: where to direct the hate. By Jonathan Cook…

RE: https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/111050422873237025
what with #EpsteinFiles on our minds, let me repeat myself from 2020:
❝ QAnon was created by Trump’s fascists to take attention away from the Anons working on Opeation Death Eaters and the Jeffrey Epstein case.
QAnon is a new form of COINTELPRO ❞
As The Guardian & The Oregonian/OregonLive have reported, #FoxNews on Sept 4 used footage from the 2020 protests after the police killing of #GeorgeFloyd & said it was from 2025. Propublica found 2 clear cases from that night as well as 1 that seemed to match a scene filmed at a key site of the 2020 protests. Fox also “mislabeled” 2 other dates of actions shown on screen, & 1 broadcast implied that a protest from elsewhere was happening in Portland.
#Trump later said he’d told #Oregon’s governor, Tina Kotek, that “unless they’re playing false tapes, this looked like World War II. Your place is burning down.”
ProPublica examined months of #FoxNews’ coverage & reviewed >700 video clips posted to social media by #protesters, counterprotesters & others in the 3 months preceding the Sept 4 broadcast.
The review found that the “news” network repeatedly provided a “misleading” picture of what was happening in #Portland.
#Trump didn’t say which channel he watched; he said at one point he saw something “today” & at another “last night.”
The evening before, on Sept 4, #FoxNews aired a 2½ minute segment spotlighting protests outside an #ICE field office in #Portland. Similar footage aired the morning of Trump’s remarks. The president went on to announce Sept 27 on Truth Social that he would send #troops, saying that he was “authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”
Outrageous. Expected. Despicable.
#Trump has pardoned dozens of allies accused of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss, including #RudyGiuliani, #MarkMeadows, #JeffreyClark & #SidneyPowell, a top #DOJ official said Monday.
Trump, in a proclamation dated on Friday, said the move would end "a grave national injustice" & "continue the process of national reconciliation”

For me, the epitome of Russian propaganda is archbishop Kirill of Moscow declaring: ”There is no joy for us, only suffering” when theirs is the country inflicting unmeasurable suffering on another.

🤣🤣🤣 Russian ”tough guys” are so funny when things don’t go the way they planned! 😄😄😄
(It’s always the underlings fault. I’m the boss, I shouldn’t have to do anything.)
The men had little in common beyond their Venezuelan seaside hometowns & the fact all 4 were among the >60 people killed since early Sept when the US #military began attacking boats the #Trump admin alleges were smuggling drugs. Trump & top US ofcls alleged the craft were being operated by narco-terrorists & cartel members bound with deadly drugs for #US communities.

#Trump has accused boat crews of being *narco-terrorists*. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a fmr military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver.
