With their crusade against their own dissidents, the US and its allies betray the desperation of their collective propaganda machine
The US and its ever-faithful minions Canada and Britain have launched a new offensive in the form of information warfare. If “fresh” is the word: In a new season of the long-running, seemingly never-ending Russia Rage show (aka “Russiagate”) that at least the American “elites” can’t get enough of, it is once again – drumroll please – RT that is the target. This time it is accused not “only” of spreading “disinformation” (that is, all the information that Western governments don’t like), but also of intelligence work.

And then some. Like trying to influence the US elections (yaaawn) and somehow being linked to collecting voluntary contributions for the Russian war effort in Ukraine – a form of outreach, by the way, that is exactly the same as what Ukrainian organizations are doing. There is also an even more frightening revelation. It has dawned on some troglodytes in the US State Department that RT does not rely on mechanical typewriters and the telegraph, but has a “cyber” capacity!

Or something like that. The charge seems to boil down to being internet-savvy, a very special skill that must seem devilishly futuristic to some in the US government. And who can blame them? Can you imagine the – official – leader, Joe “Sort-Of-President-If-He-Can-Remember” Biden, wielding something as almost antediluvian as a laptop? That’s best left, as we know, to his son Hunter “The-Naked-And-Paid” Biden. And even then, the consequences are often dire.

Of course, the whole show also comes with more sanctions. Because sanctions are to US policy toward Russia what popcorn is to a really bad B-movie: essential but it doesn’t make things better.

Inevitably, this latest US initiative has drawn ridicule, and for good reason. In essence, it is yet another piece of self-possessed, sad shrinking from a regime struggling – and never making any progress – to come to terms with its steadily declining power, authority and relevance. It is also easy to see that these self-appointed guardians of the “rules-based order” and its “values” have once again taken hypocrisy to the extreme. Seriously? You want to talk about “disinformation”? When Western media, from the US’s CNN to the UK’s BBC to Germany’s ZDF, have been complicit through silence, bias and even outright Israeli propaganda in the nearly year-long genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza and increasingly in the West Bank?

Of course, we could look back and list example after example of blatant Western lies with horrific, often massively deadly consequences. So many, in fact, that we can’t really do that here. So, consider two: the brazen campaign of government lies and media propaganda that the same powers used to “justify” their unjust war of aggression against Iraq in 2003. In March 2023, the Costs of War project, based at the prestigious Brown University in the US, estimated the casualties among Iraqi civilians alone at, as a very conservative minimum estimate, between almost 281,000 and over 315,000 “killed by direct violence since the US invasion.”

Note the word “directly.” If, as we realistically must, we add those killed “indirectly,” that is, through preventable malnutrition, disease, destruction of infrastructure, etc., then the true death toll, thus the Costs of War project, was “likely much higher.” Also keep in mind that those killed are only the tip of a dark iceberg of the ruined, wounded, amputated, displaced, physically and psychologically scarred for life and generations. These are the real, countable results of shameless Western lies. And now the US and its cronies are here to preach about “disinformation.” What else is there to say? Except perhaps that Western “elites” are not only literally murdering en masse, but are absolutely shameless and toneless.

The second example of blatant Western lies, again by the mainstream media, that we should remember in this context is the persecution and torture of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, who, among other things, exposed the US atrocities in the Iraq war. For that extraordinary service to humanity – and other “sins” in the eyes of the powerful in the West – he was subjected to various forms of imprisonment for more than two decades, including long periods that a UN expert rightly called torture. He was also constantly threatened with extradition to the US, where he would have been slowly murdered by even more torture in solitary confinement. Meanwhile, US officials also occasionally considered simply having him killed. Now Assange is finally free. But the brutal reprisals imposed on him when he was, without exaggeration, the most important political prisoner in the world, were of course intended to frighten others into submission and silence.

And that brings us back to a particularly sinister aspect of the renewed US attack on RT, namely the claim that RT is – somehow – “de facto” (oh, what a stretchy term!) engaged in intelligence. Not being a “real” journalist and publisher, but instead some kind of spy, was precisely the cornerstone lie on which Washington built its many crimes against Assange and his family. And far too many in the Western media played along. Connect the dots. By leveling the same baseless accusation against RT, the US “elite” is sending a mafia-style message – being the mafia clan it really is – about what it can and very well could do to any journalist caught working for RT, namely what it did to Assange, or worse.

Yet other journalists are not the only ones under threat. The other major target, outside of Russia, is the entire Global South, where, the Americans claim, RT has contributed greatly to the fact that its elites and populations do not follow the American lead in the West’s proxy war in Ukraine. That is clearly a message of breathtaking arrogance. Hell, the thought that people in the Global South might have chosen to see things differently! All the “agency” we have been urged to include in our evening prayers regarding Ukraine goes, straight out the window. No “agency” for the Global South! There, Washington is not ashamed to tell us, any deviation from its perverse bipartisan war party line can only be blamed on evil Russian “outsiders.”

This is of course the patronizing “logic” of a deeply colonial mentality steeped in narcissism and unquestioned assumptions of supremacy. What is interesting – though not really surprising – is that the Washington blob, for example, applies the same arrogance to the “ordinary people” of the West. They too, under the stern gaze of their “better” at the top, must not be left alone to decide what they want to watch, read and listen to. Because if they did, they might get ideas, or to be more precise, ideas of their own. In that perspective, the pursuit of RT is just part of a desperate, futile attempt to close down any platform for alternative, including very alternative Western, voices. Think of RT, if you will, as the samizdat of the West, to recall the conditions of Soviet dissent.

But here is the tragedy of the West’s information warriors. Too many people, inside and outside the West, are already “out of control,” unwilling to believe the nonsense that is being served up as the mainstream beliefs they are expected to embrace. The deepest reason for this was explained by Plato some two and a half millennia ago in his dialogue Phaedrus: even the most brilliant rhetoric (here we might translate that term as “propaganda”) can only get you so far. What really wins the argument is having the best case. And rhetoric based on an awful case will not win, even with the biggest, meanest, most CNN-level bag of tricks. Ultimately, that is the real problem for the West. From the proxy war that devastated Ukraine to the genocide in Gaza, the West has nothing to stand on, either morally or rationally. Therefore, it will lose.
