Putin’s stealing our sunshine…the dark side of British propaganda
Strategic Culture Foundation Editorial

The real danger from Britain’s unhinged war propaganda is that relentless British provocations in Ukraine are tempting a nuclear winter.
An apology to our readers. With so much grave tension over potential war escalation in the Middle East and the never-ending horror of genocide in Gaza, our choice of editorial topic this week may seem inappropriately frivolous.
Please bear with us. The relevance is the way Western news media are increasingly used by hostile powers to recklessly promote conflict and war, or to whitewash the crimes of Western states. This incitement is nothing short of criminal, and it speaks of an unbridled militarism akin to fascist totalitarianism.
Western media has degenerated into a criminal war propaganda system. One might say that such conduct has always been the case. However, there was a time when Western news media could project a semblance of genuine reporting and journalism. Not anymore. It’s full-on disinformation, cued by those who push a war agenda.
So, this week, British newspapers ran absurd articles claiming Russia was planning to use secret climate-change technology to darken skies over Albion. And you thought the sun never sets on the British Empire!
This is like a broken record, played over and over with theatrical variations, from Russia interfering in elections to cyberattacks to cutting power cables under the sea. Meanwhile, in the real world, Britain and its NATO allies blew up Russian gas pipes under the Baltic Sea.
