    Clockwork Orange style is when they clamp your eyes open and force you to watch and negatively condition you to what you’re watching. Someone else seems to have already done that to Mr Blumenthal. I wonder who?

  2. Frank

    Programming at it’s most blunt and obvious I’d say.

    I went to the cinema just this week to tune off for an hour. In the trailers section at the start was a projection of the Ukrainian flag for 20-30 seconds without any information etc. just the flag.
    What the flipping hell is going on???

    1. Daisy Chainsaw

      An invasion and mass killings because Putin wants to be the next Tzar of Russia.

      It’s been on the news quite a bit, hadn’t you noticed?

          1. SOQ

            That enough for Dolly- well probably too much actually. Half one side is more her style- and only the gory half.

          2. Daisy Chainsaw

            Ah my little SOQpuppet, star of the shortest flounce from BS in history! How many minutes did it last? Enough time to watch a tikkk tokkk?

          3. Daisy Chainsaw

            Nah, but you get very cross when people don’t take your scutterings as seriously as you do.

            Stay angry and keep up the prolific posting over the BH weekend, there’s a good little SOQpuppet!

          4. Daisy Chainsaw

            If you have no wish to converse, then don’t reply.

            Save your prolific, angry posts for the socks you created to make it look like you have friends!

      1. K. Cavan

        Yes, Dolly, Putin, another madman, like Assad, Saddam, Gadaffi, the Taliban, everyone who dares to disobey the Empire Of Lies is mad, what a coincidence.

      2. curmudgeon

        Yeah thing is none of these things were done for Syria & Afghanistan. Basically anywhere the US of A is involved. Hell even flying Palestinian flags from official buildings was called partisan, controversial and even anti semitic and is banned at football stadia.

      3. Kin

        To be honest it’s getting a bit much non stop bardbardment of propaganda
        The war in Oceania as the Americans gleefully announce this will last years
        Yes years by shipment after shipment of arms from NATO until nothing is left and we are all engaged in a war that should never of happened
        But in 2014 and the Kiev coup it’s been a long time coming
        Just wait until over 100 thousand refugees arrive and totally overwhelm our near collapsing system
        From health to education to social wellfare to housing

    2. freewheeling

      It’s this year’s “stay safe” don’tcha know. Apparently we’ve got to crash the economy (again) and funnell the billions that are left to prolong a proxy war to keep us safe from the Bad Man.

    3. K. Cavan

      It’s to keep the population in fear, divided & distracted, while the Oligarchs & their employees, the politicians, prepare to introduce their plans for our future, which we won’t like.
      We’ll own nothing but I doubt we’ll be happy.

      1. Kin

        George Orwell wrote about this in a thesis called 1984
        We now have our war in Oceania and Gilead is just blossoming in the USA
        WE NOW HAVE A WORSE COLD WAR THAN POST WW2
        As now the west are in the middle of a proxy war with Russia
        To be honest I would not care one iota if Putin ran this country if we could feed our people look after our old house our people and have two weeks off per year to relax
        Communist capitalist dictator non dictator means feck all when you are unable to feed yourself House your family and retire to at least enjoy your last years
        At the moment in our nation very few can achieve this

    4. Topsy

      Frank. Slaughter & rape of men, women & babies in Ukraine – that’s what’s going on.
      I sorry the few seconds of a Ukraine flag on screen inconvenienced you.

      1. Kin

        Tipsy there is no independent verified proof that going on
        Just reports from the Ukrainian authorities
        Absolutely no proof
        Zelensky is fighting a war and let’s face it most politicians lie
        I re,ember the smoking gun of WMDs that started the last invasion of Iraq and when the inspectors went in ?
        Guess what none.
        We are not allowed to hear anything from the other side
        So before we March off to WW3 we need the truth of the matter not wild accusations
        Russians are like us all and there is good and bad Russians and good and bad Europeans yanks Africans and Asians
        I always remember the yanks boasting about the MOAB a weapon of mass destruction they used on Iraqi targets that killed and maimed civillians including children
        Napalm in viet nam Cambodia plus agent orange that destroyed agriculture for decades
        Then of course 2 atomic bombs that murdered the population of two Japanese cities
        Of course there was always a justifiable reason for it
        Compare that to Ukraine and what the Russians are accused of doing or maybe doing
        Well the Russians are doing nothing like what the good old USA has done with its war machine
        Even the last collateral damage when the drone attack on a compound of an aid worker and his family in Kabul was absolutely out of order

      2. Chris

        “I sorry the few seconds of a Ukraine flag on screen inconvenienced you.” Yes, we must submit to trauma based mind control. It’s the least we can do.

    5. Kin

      Coupled with the price gouging it’s all designed to make us want to go along with WW3
      We will be so brainwashed by the propaganda so annoyed with Russia that the usual mob will be booking their air flights to the conflict
      And I would say Putin is all up for it
      All those nukes hundreds of them
      These weapons are nothing like an atom bomb
      Within a few hours you can send troops in
      Unfortunately for us we are the first stop for American arms To make their way to mainland Europe
      I would say it’s part of the great reset

    1. SOQ

      Yes Gory to Ukraine- especially if the Polish do as they are now threatening- to invade the west and challenge Ukrainian nationalism- their words. Poland is not too fond of the old Nazis either it appears.

      Meanwhile- Russia subsumes the west and all its assets, while the EU is footed with bill of containing the armed to the teeth Banderas.

      That way everyone can pretend they have won- or at least not lost.

        1. SOQ

          Well officially the Polish would not be invading if invited- the coke head of Kiev would not be too happy but when all is said and done he’ll just continue doing what he is told.

          It is NATO who is calling the shots after all.

          1. Nigel

            Not what he’s told by Putin, and you get pretty snippy when he dares to lecture the west about their level support like some kind if autonomous leader of a sovereign state – even you don’t believe the propaganda you peddle.

          2. SOQ

            An accusation of propaganda from you- the most cardboard scripted commentator on this site.

            Whatever.

          3. Nigel

            Say some variation of ‘coke-head puppet Zelensky’ again. It might make it less nakedly obvious propaganda phrase.

      1. Fearganainm

        We can always rely on Some Old Quockerwodger to rush here and parrot the line given out by Sergey Naryshkin, eh?

        1. SOQ

          I’ll ignore the name calling- some people just can’t help themselves. Anyways, you are clearly mixing me up with Zelenskyy- I don’t do lines.

          Are you saying that Poland is not warming up to pop over for a cup of tea? Or what exactly are you saying?

          1. Fearganainm

            I’m saying that you’re parroting the line given out by Sergey Naryshkin.

            Because you are.

          2. SOQ

            What line exactly?

            Russia has responded yes- lighting speed etc- but that is not where it is coming from.

          3. Fearganainm

            Some Old Quockerwodger pretends to go all coy.

            The line that you’re parroting. The one that originates from your source, Sergey Naryshkin. That line.

          4. SOQ

            WHAT LINE EXACTLY? I’ve never even heard of Sergey Naryshkin before this. You made the friggen accusation.

            Or do you think it is acceptable to just throw out smears because you feel like it?

          5. Fearganainm

            I think that anyone can see quite clearly that you are repeating the line given out yesterday by Sergey Naryshkin, repeated later in the day by Andrei Klimov.

            You haven’t an original thought in your head and whatever source you stumbled upon to recycle the official line is irrelevant – Sergey Naryshkin is the originator of the propaganda line you’re spreading.

            Don’t tell me that your source was ‘journalist’ German Vladimirov?

          6. Fearganainm

            You know very well ‘the line’. You dutifully parroted it above. You are now pretending that you have no idea where you got it from. That’s what happens with quockerwodgers who can’t see who is pulling their string.

            Feigned ignorance / pretending not to understand is all that you’ve got left now that you dare not admit your source. It’s OK, everyone that isn’t a pro-Russian shiller knows exactly where you got your ‘line’. Sergey Naryshkin is choreographing your dance and has been for months.

          7. SOQ

            I absolutely do not know the “line”- the rumours of Poland warming up are coming from a number of different sources. You are the one who claimed the steel works story was just propaganda and look how accurate that turned out to be.

            If you believe this originated from this guy Sergey Naryshkin, then you must have read it somewhere- and have a link? Otherwise, why name him at all?

          8. Fearganainm

            What steelworks story? Pit 404? ‘Journalist’ German Vladimirov’s yarn about the place being packed with NATO officers? The ‘capture’ of Roger Cloutier? How ‘accurate’ has any of that garbage, which you spread here, turned out to be? The fact that it was a strong defensive position was well known, the presence of members of the Azov Battalion there hardly surprising. Mariupol lies beside the Sea of Azov, the place which gave the battalion its name. What, exactly, are you claiming was ‘accurate’ about any of your ravings about the conflict there?

            As for ‘this guy Sergey Naryshkin’ – it would take you just a moment to establish exactly who he is and what he’s been saying very. very, very recently – which coincidentally, you may claim, is precisely what has nourished your latest portion of Russian propaganda.

          9. SOQ

            So the steelworks story, which is now widely reported- is all fake is it?

            YOU raised the name of Sergey Naryshkin, not me. I challenged you to link him to the rumour of an invasion by Poland and all you have done is waffle and hurl smears.

          1. Ten Pin's Fictitious Mrs.

            Null point Harney, watching too many mediocre melodramas on the Queens tube again.
            LOlololololollololOOOOooooooollllllsssssss
            They are hiding in the attic Your Majesty.

        2. Fearganainm

          Which of your fantastical steelworks stories are you now alleging turned out to be ‘accurate’? That the steelworks was always going to be the last redoubt of Ukrainian forces in Mariupol isn’t ‘news’ – its defensive capabilities guaranteed that much.

          But perhaps you want to allege that some of the other flights of fancy you posted about the steelworks were accurate? Go ahead, list them.

          As for your ‘challenge’ – that’s as risible as all your other stuff. Anyone with an internet connection can rapidly find out exactly who your dance master Sergey Naryshkin is and precisely what he’s been saying. You dare not do that because it would expose you as one of his puppets. But that’s OK, anyone can check out where you’re getting your line from.

          1. Kin

            Maybe Poland might be eyeing up the old Galicia part of Ukraine which was a ethnic
            Polish area pre soviet invasion
            If anyone care to look at the map of what is now Ukraine in 1919 one will see the only Ukrainian ethnic nation was called volhynia

        1. SOQ

          How is your safe and effective vaccines going?

          So effective we are now up to jab number five I believe.

  3. stephen moran

    Grayzone and Max Blumenthal are naked propogandists for for every hue of fascism and totalitarianism globally no matter how genocidal

    So it must be awful shame for him and the other the resident trademark fact free Tankies here that Russian tanks don’t work – due to a deign flaw – ever wonder why you see so many of them with their turrets blown off – wasn’t deadeye Nykolai – it it doesn’t have to be as some genius Russkie designed them with the spare shells stored in the turret so any hit and the tank explodes Airfix style killing the crew inside – which is nice

    maybe that arch apologist for global fascism should read this this weeks Economist –

      1. anti bot

        You and your aliases are the saddest spoofer on here. You never contribute anything to any debate. Usually its a one line sentence calling people names or else “go on soq keeping posting, I’m in love with you” and your conspiracy theory views

        1. SOQ

          Did you remember to change your IP number before slipping into that account? I bet you didn’t. Woops.

  4. ce

    Sarah McInerney interview with Comical Yuri was so good – basically sums up the clusterfupp that is the Putin supporting brigade…

    I’m no fan of TAYTO and Ukraine is no happy-full-of-unicorn-democratic-paradise…

    …but the utter idiocy of trying to justifying not supporting them against the lunacy unleashed by Putin and his yes-men is just pathetic…

      1. ce

        And just in case you missed it, I’ll say it again…

        … A car crash of an interview with Comical Yuri…

        You’d be scarlet for him… if he wasn’t already covered in innocent blood…

          1. ce

            … A car/truck crash into-the-gates-of-an-embassy kind of an interview with Comical Yuri…

            Playing back long extracts of what he said previously to her was another wonderful touch…

            … you could even hear the embarrassment in his own voice at the nonsense he was spouting… and of course he can’t admit the truth on air as he’d have to go back to Russia and explain it all to his overlord and face potential prosecution or worse…

            15 years for mentioning the “W” word…

  5. stephen moran

    The going rate of compo to the partner / wife of the occupants of one of those Russian Airfix brand Windowmaker tanks when it gets zapped is €138 (paid in € plus a new pair of boots – presumably so the fatherless son can in 20 years time toddle off on another neo-Czarist invasion an get killed just like his dad) – so it goes – too much winning. Mind you in 20 years time there won’t be enough people left in Russia to invade anywhere based on demographics – even now boy are they scraping the bottom of the gene pool cesspit with Chechen scumbags, Assad’s pondlife and now Eritrean mercenaries – is there no level to which Putin won’t prostrate himself ? I doubt some of the Moscow homies would be too enamoured with his choice of bedfellows. Beggars can’t be choosers when your Vlady no mates though I suppose.

    1. SOQ

      Vlady no mates apart from the two largest countries in the world who are buying up everything Russia has to sell.

      There fixed.

      Your welcome.

    2. Me So Harney

      I see stephen is still getting his news from the phoney “news” outlet visegrad..

      Such naivety..

      Fake news sonny boy.

        1. stephen moran

          You can have all the money in the world but if all the stuff you need is in countries that have sanctioned you then its bugger all use – tech imports for their misfiring / battered army – spares from the west for their ailing oil industry which has run out of storage capacity and there fore the wells will have to be capped – they would require a fleet of 240 super tankers to transport the stuff the used to sell to Europe – no can do logistics wise – sanctions wise – those logistics would take many years to turn around at vast capital expense (the Asia pipeline can only carry 15% of its Euro equivalent) – India will buy 3% (up from 1%) to try and keep in the good books because most of their cheap crappy comes from Russia but they need the US as China is their main enemy – China pays lip service (HUAWEI pulled out the other day FYI) and they have an imploding domestic economy to deal with in case you hadn’t noticed which is kind of a bit more important than Russia losing a war 1000’s of miles away- so it goes – with friends like that I’d put the house on team Europe / US

    1. SOQ

      Ah sure that pails into insignificance when there is such VITURE to signal.

      Also flats to kit out now that there is important people to house.

  6. stephen moran

    They are not India will up its oil purchases from 1% to 3% as China remains their major foe – China is imploding domestically an has bugger fish to worry about

  7. NM

    Azov,the Nazi’s, are being destroyed.Ain’t such a bad thing.By the time this is over Elensky will have eloped to a counyey nearby for fear of reprisals from those in charge,if any are left of Azov.

      1. SOQ

        The Azov Nazi’s strong hold was in the west- the Russians have captured most of the west- what you think he or she needs schooling in?

        1. Fearganainm

          You need to look at Ukraine using an atlas. Or maybe you have and you’re holding it upside down.

      1. bisted

        …surprised you group all Ukrainians as resisting Russia…especially since you deem half of the US population as deplorables…

        1. Nigel

          Better than deeming an entire country as full of Nazis and therefore justifying an invasion and ethnic cleansing.

  8. Hughie Luas

    Hardly any worse than the non-stop LGBTQI+ rainbow flags and colours plastered over everything from pedestrian crossings to Dublin bus vehicles and Garda cars.

    1. Steph Pinker

      Hughie, are the flags coming or going?

      … over everything?

      I’m asking for a colour-blind friend…

      1. Steph Pinker

        Speaking of which, is NEWS still an acronym for North East West South – without bias?

        1. Steph Pinker

          … didn’t think so. I suppose people believe what they want to believe as long as it’s classed as NEWS.
