Paul Craig Roberts \u2013 paulcraigroberts.org Feb 24, 2021<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The NY Times advises you not to think. Thinking requires using your unreliable brain and will lead you into conspiracy theories.\u00a0 Just believe whatever the NY Times tells you and you will have an approved source of information. https:\/\/www.rt.com\/op-ed\/516095-nytimes-critical-thinking-wrongthink-lockstep\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The NY Times regards its own propaganda as truth.\u00a0 You remember the \u201cviolent resurrection at the Capitol,\u201d in which Trump supporters were responsible for 5 deaths?\u00a0 One of the\u00a0 alleged deaths was \u00a0Capitol Hill policeman Brian Sicknick, who was allegedly beat to death with a fire extinguisher.\u00a0 Well, here are the facts according to Sicknick\u2019s mother and brother:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mother of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick said her son was not beaten with a fire extinguisher by a mob on Jan. 6, saying he likely suffered a stroke instead\u2014refuting reports from the New York Times and other outlets claiming otherwise. \u2018He wasn\u2019t hit on the head, no. We think he had a stroke.\u2019\u201d https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/capitol-police-officer-brian-sicknicks-mother-he-wasnt-hit-on-the-head-by-trump-supporter_3707914.html?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-02-23-2<\/a><\/p>\n

Ken Sicknick also corrected the false New York Times report about his brother\u2019s death, reporting that his brother \u201ctexted me last night and said, \u2018I got pepper-sprayed twice,\u2019 and he was in good shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 NY Times fake news that Sicknick was beat to death by a protester was cited by the utterly corrupt Democrat impeachment managers\u2019 argument that former President Donald Trump was responsible and should be convicted in the Senate. The fake news has also been used by Democrats and presstitutes to support claims that new domestic terrorism laws are needed to restrain \u201cTrump Deplorables\u201d from murdering people.\u00a0 All of this based on a lie from the New York Times lie machine.<\/p>\n

Three of the alleged deaths from \u201cviolent insurrection\u201d were natural deaths from people with pre-conditions.\u00a0 The remaining death was the white female veteran who was shot and killed by a black Capitol Hill policeman. The woman was not threatening the policeman and no explanation has been given for her being murdered by the police officer.\u00a0 Was it to provide violence for the orchestrated \u201cinvasion of the Capitol\u201d?<\/p>\n

I cannot think of one incident in the 21st century that the American media has accurately reported.\u00a0 Not 9\/11, not Saddam Hussein\u2019s weapons of mass destruction, Iranian nukes, Assad\u2019s use of chemical weapons, Libya, Russian invasions, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Julian Assange, Ed Snowden, the 2020 election, the Trump rally, George Floyd\u2019s death, the invasions, bombings, and ruination of seven countries in the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\n

The American media is a lie machine. If you rely on American media, you live in an orchestrated world of lies. That\u2019s the place the Establishment and their media whores want you to be.\u00a0 Brainwashed, indoctrinated, and out of the way of their agenda.<\/p>\n
