PBS and The 2020 Election | A Study In State-Media Propaganda

Incredible. In the run-up to the 2020 election, PBS produced 'documentaries’ on each candidate, respectively titled:

"Biden’s Stutter: How a Childhood Battle Shaped Him"

"Trump the 'Bully': How Childhood & Military School Shaped Him"

It’s state media propaganda in its absolute purest form.

PBS casts Joe’s struggles with cognitive decline and mounting gaffes in the 2020 campaign as the heroic fight of a bullied underdog, “hellbent” on proving everyone wrong and overcoming his innate speech impediment.

They provide no video examples of his professed life-long condition, but they do feature select examples of his gaffes, and employ a reporter from The Atlantic that also has a stutter to tell the story. That makes the story much more ‘believable,’ you see.

PBS alternatively casts Trump’s five years in a military academy would be “a five year lesson in how to be a bully."

Trump’s ascent to achievement and power was from learning the ways of a trained “killer” — who “learned the power of bullying to get ahead."

Did PBS, the DNC or the US Security State write this stuff? Maybe it was a collaboration.

In summation:

Joe Biden: Downtrodden, bullied, but imbued with determination and grit to overcome a stutter and prevail as a champion of the people.

Donald Trump: Privileged and spoiled, but versed in the dark arts of bullying and cut-throat competitiveness which he leveraged to become a “killer” and malevolent force in American politics.

Your tax dollars fund this woeful propaganda.

We can be sure to expect more of this from “public broadcasting” soon.

French Economic Minister Proposes 35 Trillion Private Savings Grab By EU

Arnaud Bertrand

@RnaudBertrand

Unreal.

This is Bruno Le Maire, France's Minister of the Economy. You might know him as the genius strategist who said he was going to "cause the collapse of the Russian economy"…

Now he is straight out declaring that Europe has run out of money (it "does not have sufficient financial reserves") and that they need to "mobilize all the savings of Europeans" that are "currently dormant in European bank accounts" in order to finance the future, including Europe's "defense effort".

This is a complete and direct translation of what he said:

"I am at the Council of Ministers of Finance in Ghent, Belgium, and I just raised a fuss because the capital markets union is not progressing. What is the capital markets union? It's the ability to mobilize all of Europeans' savings - 35,000 billion euros - to finance the climate transition, fund our defense efforts, and invest in artificial intelligence.

Since things aren't moving forward with all 27 members, I proposed that we move forward on a voluntary basis with a small number of member states to propose a European savings product in the coming months, to propose European supervision of capital markets to ensure that regulation works well, and therefore to raise several tens of billions of euros to finance our growth and prosperity.

Europe cannot economically weaken as it has been doing for several months because it does not have sufficient financial reserves. Europe cannot miss the climate turning point because it does not have sufficient financial reserves. Europe cannot miss the artificial intelligence turning point because it is unable to agree on this capital markets union and make Europeans' savings work.

35,000 billion euros lying dormant today in European bank accounts instead of fostering Europe's prosperity tomorrow, instead of financing artificial intelligence, instead of financing the climate transition, is no longer acceptable. That's the gist of my rant this morning in Ghent."

Quite unreal… All the more coming from a country, France, that ALREADY collects some 50% of the country's GDP in taxes, the second highest in the world (after Denmark, another EU country). On top of that you need to get into people's savings? 🤨

And immensely ironical that mister "I'll collapse Russia's economy" comes back to us 2 years afterwards, telling us "Europe cannot economically weaken as it has been doing for several months", we need to take your savings… When Russia's economy, far from collapsing, has been growing faster than all European countries.

All this in part to "fund our defense efforts", likely a code for "send it to Ukraine", the most corrupt country on the continent currently fighting an endless money pit war that it has no chance of winning. Pure madness.
