When the walls are closing in on a corrupt government or even a corrupt individual leader, two things happen. First, the failsafe protocols that were put into place for such an event are triggered. We’ve seen examples of this in both fiction and real life in the form of document shredding and people scrambling to get evidence removed or destroyed within an office prior to a raid. When it’s an entire government doing the covering up, the scale is exponentially larger.
The second thing that happens is that the appropriate scapegoats are sent to slaughter. Some do it “willingly” in exchange for certain considerations. Some are thrown under the proverbial bus without warning. Others are just made to disappear. That’s what we’re seeing in Ukraine right now as one of the most corrupt governments in the world under the leadership of an extremely corrupt president begins purging people to push eyeballs in the wrong direction.
Unfortunately, everyone in corporate media and just about everyone in alternative media are falling for it. According to Daily Caller News Foundation:
Several high-level Ukrainian officials resigned Tuesday amid corruption allegations, including a deputy defense minister accused of overpaying on a contract for military food rations, according to multiple media reports.
Kyiv said its largest leadership shakeup since Russia’s invasion exactly 11 months ago demonstrated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s desire to root out government corruption, according to Reuters. Three top ministers, a deputy prosecutor general, a deputy head of the president’s office and a deputy defense minister left their posts Tuesday after Zelenskyy hinted at personnel shifts Monday, and several regional governors also resigned, The New York Times reported.
“Zelenskiy’s personnel decisions testify to the key priorities of the state,” a senior adviser to the president, Mykhailo Podolyak, said, according to Reuters.
“The president sees and hears society. And he directly responds to a key public demand – justice for all,” Podolyak added.
This is all a smokescreen. The real corruption is in Volodymyr Zelensky himself and those closest to him in government. The corruption is also coming from his puppet-masters among the globalist elite cabal. I covered all of this on the latest episode of The JD Rucker Show.
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,
