On April 17, I was in London Bridge train station in central London, and couldn’t help but notice that the entire station was blanketed with these digital “Be Brave Like Ukraine” ads. Stylized in a nifty semi-Cyrillic font, the ads feature the classic blue and yellow color scheme that has now become so ubiquitous across “The West” — perhaps most prominently in London, where a local acquaintance told me she’s seen more Ukraine flags on display over the past two months than she ever saw of the UK’s own national flag.
MT beginning to comprehend the scale of the West's pro-War propaganda efforts. The amount of brainwashing has become frightening. Nothing the MSM reports can be believed anymore. In fact, my rule of thumb now is: If it's on TV or large Billboards its a lie.
"I thought the message of the ads was to “Be Brave Like Ukraine.” Apparently that “Bravery” doesn’t extend to allowing for transparency in the financial arrangements of these PR maneuvers.."
Makes you think the lobbyists for Raytheon might be funding the ad campaign.
It is sick that our leaders and govt have become pro-war. This risk of serious escalation rises everyday including use of nuclear weapons. If we can attack inside Russia, why can’t Russia attack staging grounds in Poland,etc. ?? These idiots are going to get us all killed
I'm guessing the signage is funded by government sources, as in MI6 in the UK and the CIA in the US. Our so-called "intelligence" agencies have become politicized and do whatever leftists tell them to do. By the way, if you want to see some real analysis of the situation, read the online magazine The Postil.
The original modern sin – the immense DNC-Deep state Russia-gate hoax led directly to the bipartisan US War uniparty to proxy war -- and likely hot war before November elections to retain power
This is why Democrats are taking us to war with Russia – TC – April 2, 2022
There's been a generation of hipster people, not just in the West, who came up admiring/envying "coolhunters" and industry flacks, and who may know nothing about war, let alone Ukraine, but realize a viable mode of economic participation, per globocapitalism's selection process for twentysomethings as desperate street buskers hoping to get noticed by Lasch-ian titans of finance rather than find a place to live, start a family, etc. Of course, all the prior generations probably had the same element -- but at least they weren't normalized instead of being ruthlessly & properly denounced as Young Republicans a la Michael J. Fox's character from "Family Ties."
Good reporting. Wish we saw more journalism like this in mainstream publications. Worth the Substack fee, for sure.

This corrupt empire can't collapse soon enough.
It does make you wonder about a lot. Thank you for the article.
Love you

This post prompted me to subscribe. Thanks for doing this kind of reporting. Evidently no one else has the courage or honest curiosity.
And the Russians are now talking about making England disappear. And we want to continue to escalate instead of negotiate.

Ask Lockheed.
Stunning and brave. Except when it comes to telling who funding that stuff.
Impossible to make this up.

This Mar 22nd article by Dan Cohen had some good indie/alternative propaganda specimens: https://www.mintpressnews.com/ukraine-propaganda-war-international-pr-firms-dc-lobbyists-cia-cutouts/280012/
What I find interesting is that regardless of the mid-term election results, this train has left the station.
Apologies.
