FOREWORD
What's that Sly Stallone movie with Sandra Bullock? Takes place in the future (whatever that is)? They joyride around and listen to the latest advert jingles?
That's what tuning into US MSM feels like.
There was always a chance that Tucker would cover things tonight. But no. No groupthink indeed. But Tucker gets his food bowl filled by people who are not aligned with your best interests.
Did Tucker say a salient word tonight? No.
Not switching channels after Tucker - segueing into Hannity - is a disaster. Someone try to convince the rest of us that Hannity has a triple-digit IQ and is not trying to make money by mongering war: give it a shot.
Tuning into anyone else is even more disastrous.
Where do you get news? Do you want news? You should want some news, but alt media is where you get it. The MSMs everywhere are trying to distract you. Distract and obfuscate. That's their solemn duty.
The big big big story is Sy’s. It will be big for a long time.

Brandon’s on his way to Poland. On Tuesday next week, Putin will give a speech marking the one-year anniversary of the recognition of the Donbass republics, three days before the launch of Russia’s SMO.
And Whoopie talks about Nikki, Tucker talks about Ohio, Hannity scatter-shoots all over the place, and Laura brings on Newt to talk about… UFOs.
Why would you bother with a balloon? - Doug Macgregor
Of Limited Hangouts
They're fooling you. They're good at it.
NIXON: You think, you think we want to, want to go this route now? And the *let it hang out*, so to speak?
DEAN: Well, it's... it isn't really that.
HALDEMAN: It's a limited hangout.
DEAN: It's a limited hangout.
EHRLICHMAN: It's a modified limited hangout.
Limited hangout: when a veil of secrecy is shredded and one can no longer rely on the cover story, one uses a limited hangout - one admits or even volunteers a part of the truth, whilst still withholding the key damaging parts. The public will usually be so intrigued that they never think the matter through any further.
Limited hangouts, desultory distractions, and obfuscations. Big things are going down in the corridors of power. But you wouldn't know this if you only followed the hysterics-driven boutique news in the West.
“What’s left for all of us is to swim in a swamp crammed with derelict patsies, dodgy cover stories, and intel debris. Knowing that those who really run the show never show their hand.” - Pepe Escobar
Consider. Sy Hersh nailed it to the wall. A quartet of mad arrogant maniacs are now exposed as… you name it.
The biggest ecological disaster in history?
Attacking a NATO ally?
Freezing the F out of the German people?
Ruining the economies of Europe?
Pushing the planet closer to nuclear holocaust?
Sneaking past their own US government?
Lying to their own people and to the world?
They’re rumbling in the corridors of power. Really rumbling. Think about it.
So what do you hear in the MSM in the West?
The Oscars. The Golden Globes. The Emmys. The Grammys. The Super Bowl! Rihanna?
Action News. The Ohio train derail. The southern border. Balloons and UFOs.
Adverts, adverts, more adverts.
Do you live in the Golden Billion? Do you even know what the Golden Billion is?
How much do you know? You have bastards running the show, people with less intelligence and less information than you, using your tax dollars, wasting your tax dollars. Shouldn't you know a little bit more so you can kick them in their over-indulged backsides to the curb?
How many time zones does Australia have? China? Russia?
How many bioweapons labs does the US have around the world? In what countries?
How many military bases does the US have around the world? In what countries?

Who has the world's most powerful military?

What's to Come: A Duel Of Speeches
On 21 February Vladimir Putin will hold his State of the Nation address in the Russian Federal Assembly.
Before the speech Putin will talk with opposition party leaders. Another meeting is planned with Belarus president Lukashenko.
Russia analysts expect significant announcements.
The speech will come exactly one year after the speech that announced the recognition of the Lugansk and Donetsk republics as independent states.
Brandon will be in Poland at this time where he will read a speech from a teleprompter.
There are concerns that Poland may want to intervene in the war in the Ukraine by, for example, occupying its western oblast. Will Brandon give his “OK”? A significant number of former Polish soldiers are already fighting in the Ukraine as mercenaries. At the end of last year Poland announced that they would recall up to 200,000 reservists for training.
Out of Ammo!
NATO is running out of ammunition and will not be able to support the war much longer.

“This is of course to Russia's advantage”, writes MoA’s Bernhard. “Russia can delay the end of the war as long as they want. At some point the West will run out of ammunition and money for the war, and will have to sue for peace.”
How stupid is this?
Jeffrey Sachs. Let's add to it. Let's add that Putin was the Bush family guest and loved by all. Why? Because they thought they could cultivate Putin like they'd run the drunken fool Yeltsin.
Pull yourselves away from your mobiles before the planet blows up.
PS. Surprise surprise. Sachs names not the US but the UK as the most toxic bully in history.
GG with Gaetz
Dems say they vote "war" so as not to appear "inconsistent"??
Assange, FitzGibbon, Appelbaum, Ritter, Gaetz… Depp… how many more before people wake the F up?

What Balloons?
“I pointed out that this was by far not the first Chinese weather balloon that drifted in unexpected directions. That is normal. The winds at the level where such balloons fly are very strong. There is no real way to control their flight path.”
“They continue to insult our intelligence.” - Tyrus
Tucker Before Publication
So watch Tucker before publishing? Just in case?
Tucker's on his masters’ point - distracting only. Launch the presses.
Karl Marx was right about one thing. Dialectic materialism. The oppressors versus the oppressed. The two classics.
How one solves it is another matter. You don't solve it by letting arrogant elites take over. "Just trust us" doesn't work. The US system is grounded in the realisation that you cannot trust anyone. That’s a good start. But there are cracks in even that system.
Now, as human so-called “civilisation” moves from bellicose unipolar to touchy multipolar, it behooves the planet’s dethroned unipolar bully to learn to behave.
