Title: Putin is an enemy of people ¹1: Newsweek on a cover
Post by: Alex077 on July 25, 2014, 09:54:39 AM
The European number of magazine of Newsweek went out with a wonderful cover: on a photo a president of Russia Vladimir Putin is spectacled, a fire blazes in which - straight as for a satan, we will say so. And central bearing-out «Derelict: into the bulletproof bubble of main enemy of western society» the unweak turned out also. The theme of number, certainly, is devoted Putin and his life, to not visible the world.

I think we as the Bitcointalk community know first hand because of Dorian Nakamoto that newsweek is full of shit and I don't think we should be giving them any more attention, their publication deserves to fade into obscurity and be forgotten.

U.S. Military Chief Compares Putin’s Ukraine Move to Stalin’s Invasion of Poland
Today the U.S. government claimed the Russian military is firing artillery into Ukraine and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs said it reminds him of Russia’s invasion of Poland in 1939.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey said Thursday that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s new use of Russian military force inside Ukraine harkens back to 1939 when Joseph Stalin led a Russian invasion of Poland, and Dempsey predicted Putin was far from finished.

Dempsey was speaking to the Aspen Security Forum and responding to the news that the U.S. government is accusing the Russian military of firing artillery from Russian territory into eastern Ukraine in support of separatists there. The latest development represents a dangerous escalation of the crisis on the part of Putin and the Russia-Ukraine crisis is now a global problem, he said...........

Is this a comedy magazine?  :D  I wonder which government paid for this, pure propaganda. Let's not forget that Assange is still stuck in embassy without charge. And let's not forget collateral murder.

I think, because of the internet, people in general have become more criticial. Information used to come only from the government trough tv/radio. Still many people simply believe this propaganda, as you indicated.

What do you believe Putin is then? An more importantly, how do you know, when as you said there's tons of propaganda from both sides.

It's because anyone can post on the internet and it's extremely chaotic, one of the reasons I like the internet so much is because many conflicting opinions clash, you often end up going to corners of the internet you like most but there are a ton of different viewpoints out there.

Thankfully television and radio has a lot smaller influence than it used to, I think.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epimenides_paradox  - My response to all of this.

Quote
Thomas Fowler (1869) states the paradox as follows: "Epimenides the Cretan says, 'that all the Cretans are liars,' but Epimenides is himself a Cretan; therefore he is himself a liar. But if he be a liar, what he says is untrue, and consequently the Cretans are veracious; but Epimenides is a Cretan, and therefore what he says is true; saying the Cretans are liars, Epimenides is himself a liar, and what he says is untrue. Thus we may go on alternately proving that Epimenides and the Cretans are truthful and untruthful."[1]
