[Sundaycommunity] To stop Russian manipulation, Francis must make Vatican's stand on Ukraine clear | National Catholic Reporter

[Arthur Blomme]

Hi Bill

The first casualty of war is the truth.

The thing about war  is that you have to have the consent of the 
population to engage in war.  According to Noam Chomski the role of the 
media is to manufacture consent for  war.  When you just repeat back the 
narrative of the oligarchy controlled media who want regime change in 
Russia you are providing consent for the war.  When Canadians virtue 
signal their concern for Ukrainian refugees they are giving their 
consent to Canada sending  50 howitzers to the Ukraine.

The Wall Street Journal is even arguing for nuclear 
war.<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCC_KtRZO98&t=15s>

That is what mainstream life is about. Ignore history and don't 
question.  Fear Covid; hate the truckers and love Ukraine. I don't buy 
any of it.

I am against war and  oppose Canada's arms trade.  I am for a 
sustainable life on our planet for all.

The truth will set us free.
