This blogger lightens our day with a bit of humor over the latest bit of desperate propaganda designed to get us to hate the Empire's latest enemy, Vladimir Putin. You no doubt have heard reports on corporate TV that Putin poisoned Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB agent. If you didn't hear of it because you don't own a TV set or are "out of the loop", please view CBS's recent coverage of this "event" as an example.

These claims are part of psychological disinformation campaign the U.S. and its allies are running against Syria. The stories are supposed to sow doubt between Syria, its allies and supporters.However for most well-informed people such propaganda is easy to spot.

That has become the primary role of corporate media.
