Rogue's Gallery Smiling While Lying You Into World War


See that smile? That is the shit eating grin of a man who has become wealthy peddling weapons to the U.S. taxpayer. Does going from the board of Raytheon to heading up the Pentagon's decisions to purchase Raytheon products seem like a conflict of interest? Lloyd Austin says it's not. (Cue the soundtrack playing in my head since I saw this photo.)

In Austin's extensive and lucrative catalog of lies we also find that the U.S. envisions a "free, open and secure Indo-Pacific." He won't say but we know the U.S. will accomplish this via ongoing coercion and bullying of the Philippines, Indonesia, Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand...there are more, but you get the idea. 

China's so-called "aggression" toward Taiwan, one of its provinces that the fading U.S. empire has decided to use as the proxy to make war on its biggest economic competitor, is trumpeted by corporate press lackeys like AP constantly now. This collusion between the liars in office and the liars in media means the general public hears such false messages repeatedly and almost nothing to counter them. 

I don't know how much David Rising of the AP gets paid to help pull the wool over your eyes, but he's earning it by simply repeating nonsense like this from Lloyd Austin: the war in Ukraine "serves to underline how dangerous the world would be if big countries were able to 'just invade their peaceful neighbors with impunity.'"

Would be? How about is? Big country U.S. has invaded 800+ spots around the globe with their military bases, and has further attacked and occupied scores of nations.

Here's one way to look at it.

Here's another:

Cut to today when someone has blown up the Nova Kakhova dam controlling the water supply to Crimea. Previously the U.S. and Norway  destroyed a Russian gas pipeline to Europe and Ukraine bombed a major bridge from Russia to Crimea. The Western press rightly considers these to be dastardly deeds but hilariously blames them on..Russia.


Almost everything President Biden has said about Ukraine has turned out not to be true, but he wasn't lying when he said that the Nord Stream 2 would never open. But he's kind of dingy now and as such a much less convincing liar than the architects of World War 3 who he fronts for.

Here's another major player, one whose lies are regularly reported by government stenographer Politico: 

 It was difficult to find a picture of Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor, "smiling."



For gender equity, here are a couple of the smiling liars helping make our warmongering machine look woke.


Victoria Nuland straddles many administrations, D and R, and was smiling when she handed out cookies to coup supporters in Ukraine in 2014 -- but I like this picture of her better. Recently she's been "helping" Pakistan during their lawfare soft coup of hugely popular PM Imran Khan, and "helping" Sudan.




White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's entire job is managing lies with a straight, if not smiling, face. Lies like: America is helping Ukraine fight for its democracy. With Ukraine as the most corrupt and arguably least democratic nation in Europe, it takes a lot of poise and keeping one's eye on the ball of future lucrative employment to offer up this gross canard without LOL.

But here's the thing: nobody will be laughing once we've been lied into a nuclear WW3.
