“False Flag” was trending on Twitter Tuesday night and for good reason. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared Russia is about to destroy the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station. Russia responded by saying Ukraine is going to blow it up to try to frame Russia.
Who’s lying?

According to Red State:
Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of planning an attack on the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The facility, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe and within the top ten in size in the World, has been under Russian control since February 2022. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has made several requests for Russia to put the power plant under international control, but ZNPP seems to have more value as a pawn.
There are numerous reports that the Russians have begun evacuating the city of Erenhodar, where ZNPP is located, and there have been sightings of mobile radiological diagnostic centers. A controlled detonation of explosives at the ZNPP would not create a nuclear blast but would make a mess downwind.
Ukraine has sounded a warning about Russian sabotage at ZNPP, but there has been scant evidence to go along with those warnings.
Meanwhile, skeptics on Twitter debated who is the more likely attacker.
KanekoaTheGreat said: “Ukraine: ‘The Russian military has placed explosives on the roof of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.’ Russia: ‘The Ukrainian military is planning an imminent attack utilizing missiles and drones on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.’ False flag? Who benefits?”
Ian Miles Cheong posted: “This narrative building for a false flag attack on ZPP couldn’t be more obvious. Who benefits from the power plant’s destruction? Ukraine, obviously, as it’ll set the stage for NATO intervention.”
Kim Dotcom thinks it’s the U.S.: “Zaporizhzhia will be the worst and most obvious false flag by the US Govt in history. The world may come to regret having allowed the US to get away with so many crimes and lies like WMDs in Iraq, NordStream, etc. Humanity may now pay the ultimate price for such foolishness.”
We will be monitoring this situation throughout the evening and into tomorrow. Someone is lying. Perhaps everybody is. But if there is an attack, this will change the dynamic of the war and possibly escalate the situation to its widest level of NATO involvement.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
