Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Information Terrorist"

from DC's anarchist cartoonist-

"Information Terrorist"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3507

      "...Some three weeks after Schumer helped push the (Ukraine aid) 
bill into law, on July 14, Andriy Shapovalov, a Ukrainian civil servant whose 
salary was paid for by U.S. taxpayer monies, convened a 'round table' in Kiev on  'countering disinformation'.

      Shapovalov, in his role as the acting head of Ukraine's Center 
for Countering Disinformation, published a list of the names of 72 people whom accused of deliberately spreading disinformation about Ukraine. Shapovalov labelled them 'information terrorists', adding that Ukraine was preparing legislation so that such people can be prosecuted as 'war criminals'."

      —Scott Ritter, reporting at Consortium News, 08.03.2022

Yeah, kids, isn't that a flabbergaster? One helluva humdinger of a 
doozy. I thought Biden — who never met a US war of aggression he 
didn't like — had pretty much destroyed my Goofy Meter when he called 
Putin a "war criminal", but this shit's got Goofy Meters exploding 
worldwide.

Just so we're clear — any journalist reporting the truth from on the 
ground, any journalist or essayist whose reporting or opinions 
contradict the official US/NATO Western media narrative? That's right, 
an "information terrorist", a "war criminal". Ben Norton? Aaron Maté? 
Rania Khalek? Alina Lipp? Eva Bartlett? Lee Camp? Yep, that's right. 
Information terrorists, war criminals.

The Gallup numbers, which I peeped not soon after, really drove the 
goofiness home. After 70-odd years of lies about Hiroshima, the Tonkin 
Gulf, My Lai, Cambodia, Laos, the Drug War, Kuwaiti incubator babies, 
Iraqi WMD's, Afghanistan, Havana Syndrome, Russiagate, trust in US 
media is at an all-time low, and I'm an "information terrorist" for 
doing these goddamn cartoons? I'M a goddamn "war criminal" for calling 
out the US state and media on their lies?

Bwah ha ha ha ha hah. The West™ can't collapse a day too soon for me.
