As the #EU grows more Authoritarian and the space for Freedom of Speech diminishes, the term 'Whataboutism' has become 'a propagandistic term to dismiss any comparison between the virtuous "us" and the wicked "other"....
RT @Glenn_Diesen: This is the price of throwing away press freedom and freedom of speech in the West. Efforts to lecture the rest of the world are now interpreted as mere hypocrisy and ideological sloganeering.

Every country engages in Disinformation. Western Powers love to accuse others of it but refuse to acknowledge that the same Western Powers could give lessons to everyone else when it comes to the art of Disinformation -The Chinese and Russians aren't even good at it...
RT @Glenn_Diesen: The anti-China propaganda has gone too far.
All countries use propaganda to some extent, but this is insane coverage of China's BRI infrastructure projects.

How sad that we now have an Irish Government that is more in tune with the #US #NATO Proxy War in Ukraine + Military Industrial Complex, than it is with its own people - 87% of the people want Peace but the Gov and Mainstream Media continue to promote this stupid War. 87%...????
RT @ClareDalyMEP: A whopping 87% of Irish people favour peace negotiations in Ukraine, according to an @IpsosIreland Omnipoll commissioned by @PANAIreland.

'More than 500 towns + villages were systematically destroyed + depopulated by massacre + mass expulsion. As a result more than 750,000 #Palestinians were forcibly exiled + became Refugees'- Is this what #EU President @vonderleyen was celebrating.? Is this more European Values..?

Wealthy elites support Wars but refuse to fight in them. The less privileged don't start or support Wars but they have to do the dying in all the stupid Wars. If you want to support Ukraine, help to bring the War to an end now, not later. Work for Peace not for Arms Industry....

The statement from @vonderleyen 'ignored the historical fact that the State of #Israel was founded on the ethnic cleansing of two thirds of the Indigenous #Palestinian people between 1947 and 1949' - #EU Commission President's statement is a lie. Is this more 'European Values'..?

At a time when Defence Spending is going off the richter scale in #EU it's worrying that 3 agencies related to Defence do NOT come under the remit of the EU Court of Auditors or the EU Parliament. We're seeing a Peace orientated Economic Union turn into a Military Union for War..
