LinksChay Bowes is an Irish entrepreneur and an independent journalist, and has an MA in Strategy & GeoPolitics. His @BowesChay Twitter slogan is: "Facts should define the Narrative, the Narrative shouldn’t define the facts."
I spoke to him in 2022, after he wrote an article on the Absolute Truth called War Propaganda About Ukraine Starting to Wear Thin and before he wrote An Inevitable War..
His article about the Absolute Truth was recommended and retweeted by none other than John Pilger.

PSA: a quick overview of where we're at + starting Dialogues: why "Dialogues", a bit about propaganda, a bit about economics, a bit about Skripal.
Website: Starting Dialogues on Business Games
Why propaganda? How propaganda? and What can you do?
One of the most important dialogues I've ever had a chance to be a part of.
Oliver goes into detail about provable propaganda in Hollywood and the (predominantly) US media, with examples from US lead-up to conflicts in Iraq (twice), Syria and Ukraine coverage, as well as Russiagate. We also touch on modern leadership and Russophobia.
Iraq, in particular, is a fantastic example of learning how the propaganda game is played, because the truth is already accepted knowledge.

Kyle and I pick 1 topic each to rant about and a 3rd one to discuss:
In this episode, I'd like to address the brand image of LinkedIn, censorship, and pose a question: What's the point of LinkedIn?
As usual, feel free to disagree with my position—but please, listen through to the end, it won't be long.

In the modern discourse it seems, any political opponent is immediately a "Nazi", and any historical grievance is a "genocide".
The problem is obvious and three-fold:
I can think of no example more insane than the whitewashing of the Ukrainian Nazi collaborators Bandera and Shukhevich, their organizations OUN and UPA, and their modern Ukrainian equivalents such as Azov, S14, and the Right Sector—and at the same time bringing out all the decades of smear campaigns against the USSR and Russia, accusing them of multiple genocides.
Though maybe "Holodomor" myth is at least equally insane.
Russophobia deserves its own post, and so do the Ukrainian Nazis both historical and modern. For now, I'll look at genocide accusations against the historical and modern Russias.
Content2014 Maidan, 2022 Mariupol and Bucha. One is a proven false-flag massacre perpetrated by the Ukrainian far-right. The others fit similar patterns. Having already made a case for why this is not a coincidence, I discuss further implications.
Here, I give more background to my Mariupol & Bucha: Narrative v Reality article, how it came together, and what makes me confident about the conclusions.

ContentA word of caution: if you have an emotional response to the 2022-ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and especially if you believe the mainstream media narrative in the West and you are not ready to have this challenged, this might not be for you.
I'm happy to discuss the facts and my thinking, but I'd like to refrain from ad hominem attacks.
Finally, I have an agenda:
I wrote a more personal note with my history as a Ukrainian in the previous newsletter post 2022 and 11/12-ths.
This topic by its nature will most likely be the most controversial we touch on.
Recently, I wrote the blog post NY Times: Disinformation Central? Or: How I Lost Trust in the Western Mainstream Media and What to Do About It, in which I investigate the New York Times in their mis-representation of facts on 4 counts: "Russian disinformation" campaign, changes of the narrative on Ukraine and Donbass from 2014 through to 2022, outright lies such as the (fake) claim of "massive rapes" propagated by the former Ukrainian Human Rights Ombudsman Denisova (who was fired by the Ukrainian Government for this lie), and protecting the NYT ownership while running hit jobs on competitors.
Read the post OR listen to the previous episode to get the full picture about the NY Times transgressions.
In this newsletter episode, I take parts of the NY Times piece and expand the principles I use when reading the news and processing information.
If you're OK with the above, let's go.
