I believe a little caution is in order here. I just checked RT and RIA Novosti (Russian news sites) and they make no mention of an attack on the convoy. One article did mention that the convoy might be in danger of being ‘disrupted’. So, for my cynical mind, the question is this -- is this news MSM BS government propaganda, or is the Russian media ignoring Putin getting caught with his ‘hand in the cookie jar’?
I simply no longer trust anything coming out of the ‘controlled’ western media. I must also acknowledge that the Russian media is highly likely to be producing propaganda. So, let’s be really careful before we get caught up in the hype. Remember the Lusitania, remember the Tonkin Gulf, remember ‘weapons of mass destruction, remember 9/11. Remember the GOVERNMENT LIES to control its subjects -- you and me!!!!!
I agree that we are being fed a constant diet of propaganda. In this case, the main stream media is not reporting the details. So what is true?
I have found that we can look at the markets’ reaction is in order to gauge the validity of a major event. The NYSE lost over 100 points in 15 minutes when first announced.
Just like the Michael Brown, Trevvon Martin, OJ Simpson case, who you believe makes all the difference. Try sifting through some of the Donbass Militia blurbs to see what MSM don’t want you to know.
