In an era where mainstream media faces intense scrutiny for bias and sensationalism, platforms like Opednews have emerged as crucial venues for alternative viewpoints and independent journalism. Founded with the explicit goal of amplifying dissenting voices, Opednews has garnered both praise and criticism for its editorial decisions and operational practices. The knowledge of Opednews's IRS Tax EIN being deficit, and their deceit goes back years and is still spreading – one commentator, Ned Lud, called them No-caf, no-fat diet honesty.
However, the platform's financial legitimacy, ideological biases, and treatment of contributors raise significant concerns that demand a thorough and comprehensive examination. This analysis delves into the complexities surrounding Opednews, exploring its origins, biases, and writer experiences, ultimately assessing its role in the broader media landscape. OpEdNews is considered a hamster wheel of deceit and (faux) dissent or dissidence lite.
A Fight To The Finish
Note: This piece points up Kamala Harris's sheer hypocrisy, as well as the sell-out of Trump, Harris, and RFK Jr. on the "Palestine problem." It also highlights the vast undercount of the official death toll. 40,000? 300,000 murdered thus far by Zionist Jews supported by the US and UK is much closer to reality.[*] The Vietnam War-era chant against mass murderer Lyndon Johnson ("How many kids did you kill today?") has been updated to reflect America's ongoing wars against Russia and Palestine. Why aren't millions of people out in the streets of every major US and European city demanding an end to BOTH of these criminal campaigns?
US and EU Intel Guys: None of Them Have Ever Been Punched in the Face
I think I've figured out why our "INTEL" people have gotten it so wrong on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the likelihood that Russia will HIT us here in the USA over what we've been doing: NONE of those Intel Guys has ever been punched in the face. I'm serious!
Growing up, most guys my age (62) got into more than a few physical fights. Usually at school - or after school - over some bullshit that happened.
Those fights usually happened because one guy pushed another guy...and pushed...and pushed...and pushed some more. Sooner or later, the guy being pushed hauled-off and knocked the living shit outta the guy who was bothering him.
Same thing with a schoolyard bully. Everyone was afraid of him. He got away with it over and over again. Then, one day, he bullied the wrong kid, or bullied someone again who had finally had enough, and...WHACK...the kid knocked the living shit outta the bully. That's us, with Russia.
We have pushed and pushed and pushed some more with this Ukraine thing. We tried to recruit Ukraine into the western spere of influence in 2013-2014. We told them we wanted to put American missile defenses on their soil. Just TRYING to do that was "push" #1.
Back in the 1990's, then US President George HW Bush (the father), PROMISED the then-Soviet Union "NATO will not move one inch eastward" if they allowed East and West Germany to re-unify. It was a rock solid promise by a sitting US President. The soviets agreed and the two Germanys were re-united.
Bill Clinton got into the US Presidency and he welched on that promise. NATO began expanding eastward toward Russia's border. But at the time, Russia couldn't do anything about it because the Soviet Union had collapsed and dissolved itself, and Russia was paying off all of the Soviet Debts.
Sacrificed Ukraine and Western Russophobia
What kind of hatred is it that obscures the view and suppresses even
the instinct of self- preservation?
Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirovic
Ukraine is not part of Saharan Africa, nor is it a country of illiterate or ill-educated people. How is it possible for Ukrainians to tolerate such a stumble, how is it possible that their tycoon and corrupt political elite so enchanted them and diverted them to the wrong side through manipulations? Instead of confronting their political scum, the Ukrainians, again with a lot of help from Western friends, estimated that the snake was not in the bowels, but on the other side of the eastern border - in Russia, so they needed NATO’s protection. And the focal illusion is that when Ukraine becomes a member of NATO, the country will prosper just as, for example, North Macedonia prospered in the same organization.
Ukraine has thus decided that those who are further away from it are closer to it - not only geographically, but also spiritually and culturally, those who despise Ukrainians just as much as Russians, if not more. That contempt is hidden for only a moment in the name of strategic reasons, and it will last for a few more days after the end of the war, regardless of its outcome. And then everything will return to normal. Solidarity with Ukrainians who remain in the West will be replaced by intolerance towards foreigners who burden the social system, take jobs, raise the crime rate, and lower the salaries of domestic workers. Ukrainians will again be the others - those who are not "us". Even if Ukraine one day joins the European Union or/and NATO, that contempt will not disappear nor will the status of Ukrainians as second-class citizens change.
And then when you renounce yourself and try to become something that you are not and that you have been convinced is more civilized and better, you will not become that other - you are more likely to become nothing. This is true not only for Ukrainians but also for "enlightened" Russians, Serbs, and others, for all those who would like to be what they are not, in the hope that they will be acceptable to those who will never accept them. Bulgarians, Romanians, and even Poles, and to exchange experiences with them related to acceptance, respect, integration, and "Europeanization". And they can pour oil into the water quite scientifically and see how it mixes.
Sanewashing AI Genocide: The Talpiot Program, Lavender Genocide AI and American Connections
AI War in Lebanon?
by Tracy Turner
Artificial intelligence (AI) is not merely a tool for efficiency; it is a transformative force reshaping global military and intelligence operations. Its integration into warfare reveals stark realities of life and death, particularly in the contexts of Israel's Talpiot Program and the Lavender AI initiative, as well as their connections to prestigious institutions like Harvard Business School. These intersections highlight how cutting-edge technologies, and military strategies intertwine with educational and corporate frameworks in the United States, raising urgent genocide ethics questions. The Israeli's wish for endless quicksand debates of "ethics," leaving out the genocide events.
Putin Explicitly Confirmed What Was Already Self-Evident About Russia’s Nuclear Doctrine
Andrew Korybko
Andrew Korybko's Newsletter
Russia is worried that the influence of hawkish forces inside the US’ “deep state” might be growing and could ultimately lead to a large-scale conventional strike against it, including by proxy through Ukraine, which Russia hopes to deter by reminding them that this would result in World War III.
The hullabaloo over Russia’s updated nuclear doctrine is misplaced since all that Putin did was explicitly confirm what was already self-evident to all serious observers. Nobody should have ever thought that Russia wouldn’t consider a nuclear response to any overwhelming non-nuclear strike against it or its mutual defense ally Belarus, nor that it would overlook those who partook in such a provocation by proxy. Here’s exactly what Putin told the Security Councilduring their latest meeting on Wednesday:
We will consider such a possibility once we receive reliable information about a massive launch of air and space attack weapons and their crossing our state border. I mean strategic and tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, UAVs, hypersonic and other aircraft.
We reserve the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Russia and Belarus as a member of the Union State. All these issues have been agreed upon with the Belarusian side and the President of Belarus. Including the case when the enemy, using conventional weapons, creates a critical threat to our sovereignty.”
The Hijacking and Commercializing of Dissent Creating a Facade of Support While Maintaining the Status Quo
by Tracy Turner
The boundaries between public dissent and government-corporate complicity have blurred in today's "information age" (our information vacuum). Tech Titans, politicians, and Media Moguls repeatedly claim to champion free speech and democracy. However, circumspection reveals a disturbing trend of co-optation and commercialization. These "patriots" for "our republic" mostly co-opt within systems that promote control and surveillance. Their mantra seems to be, "We are Champions for Change; we Covertly Support and Worsen the Odious Status Quo."
The Movers and Shakers: Modern-Day Champions of Dissent?
Elon Musk
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, presents himself as the defender of free speech, particularly after acquiring Twitter (X). His vocal opposition to censorship has created quite a buzz, but his actions suggest dissent lite. Musk promotes sensationalism over dissenting dialogue by reinstating controversial accounts while selectively banning others. His decision to reinstate accounts associated with hate speech and conspiracy theories has brought concerns about his impact on the public narrative. Critics argue that his view of free speech focuses more on profit than prophets. (Tufekci, 2022).
Satanist Bankers Seek to Enslave Humanity
by Henry Makow, PhD
(l. Klaws Swab's WEF is a front for the Rothschild central banking cartel)
The "State" is a front for the Masonic Jewish central bankers who own its "debt."
Illuminati insider Chaim Rakovsky told his NKVD interrogator that the bankers created the Communist state as a "machine of total power" unprecedented in history.
THIS IS THE KEY QUOTE:
In the past, due to many factors, "there was always room for individual freedom. Do you understand that those who already partially rule over nations and worldly governments have pretensions to absolute domination? Understand that this is the only thing that they have not yet reached..."The aim of Freemasonry is the triumph of Communism."
Our corrupt ancestors gave our national credit cards to people who wish to enslave us and destroy our way of life. Cabalist (satanist, Masonic) Jewish central bankers create the medium of exchange (money, credit) in the form of a debt to themselves, something our governments could easily do, debt-and-interest-free. Communism is the extension of Cabalist control over government credit to satanic control of every aspect of our lives -- power, property, thought, behavior, movement, and expression. They used this limitless supply of our money to buy our corporations, politicians, doctors, mass media, cops, teachers, etc. in order to steal our birthright and that of our children.
Israel, the American Neoconservatives, and Satan Are Winning by Default
Ask yourselves how aggressive Western “leaders”
managed to create this situation of death for humanity.
by Paul Craig Roberts
When Israel committed its forces to Gaza, it was a perfect time for Hezbollah to attack and overrun Israel. But Hezbollah sat on its butt and pissed away its strategic advantage. Now after numerous Israeli strikes and communication device explosions, Hezbollah has lost most of its leadership. In Israel’s latest air strike on Beirut, Lebanon, Ibrahim Aqil, the leader of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit was killed. Competent leaders are very rare, and it seems Israel has defanged Hezbollah by eliminating its competent leaders.
Iran also sat on its butt and did nothing but display to Israel Iran’s capability of overcoming the Iron Dome air defense system. By doing so without knocking out Israel, Iran warned Israel of Israel’s vulnerability and pissed away its strategic advantage.
Putin by denying Iran the Russian S-400 air defense system, has permitted Israel to continue to assassinate from the air Hezbollah’s leaders in Iran. Putin’s failure to protect an ally has strengthened the US/Israeli position in the Middle East and weakened Russia’s.
Syria also continues to suffer Israeli/US air attacks, which destroy Iranian leaders, because Putin refuses to allow Syria to have Russian air defense systems. In effect, Putin is protecting Israeli and US attacks on Syrian territory instead of protecting Russia’s Syrian ally.
