Laas Leivat: Russians may be suffering losses on the battlefield, but the West just handed them an easy PsyOps victory
It could have been a meticulously planned and perfectly executed operation for Russian intelligence operatives in Canada. But it was actually a major blunder of the Canadian government and parliamentarians that the Russians have exploited with gusto.The Russian propaganda and disinformation apparatus got a much need adrenalin boost two weeks ago. Yaroslav Hunka, 98, a Canadian citizen of Ukrainian heritage, who had fought in the SS 14th Waffen Division during WWII, (implicated in the killing of Jews and Poles) received unanimous applause as a special guest in the Canadian Parliament during a recent visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Apparently, no one present in the House of Commons was aware of Hunka’s background. Anthony Rota, the speaker of the H of C introduced Hunka as “a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero”. Amongst the enthusiastic applauders was Zelenskyy. Photos of the occasion have been displayed world-wide, especially by the Russian news outlets.
The damage was extensive and Moscow used the opportunity to recharge its PsyOps batteries. The National Post quotes Marcus Kolga: “…these propagandists will continue using this like a hammer for weeks and months, perhaps even for years to come.”
Kolga also pointed out the fake Ukrainian stamp depicting the face of Hunka posted by the Russian embassy in London. This type of cheap, clumsy fabrication probably shows the disdain that the Russian PsyOps specialists have for any Western exposure of their disinformation. Although the Russians deleted the tweet, even incompetently executed Russian fake news attempts still have at least some traction with targeted audiences.

Is the following article the real reason why there isn't a response about the Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Finance, Chrystia Freeland's obfuscation about her knowing about her grandfather's role during WWII?
"But perhaps more interesting is what Trudeau and his staff are reportedly telling members of parliament in private. They are to stay "tight-lipped" in hopes that the scandal and international media coverage will just 'go away'. According to Canada's national broadcaster CBC.
Liberal caucus sources have told CBC News that Trudeau told MPs Wednesday they should avoid speaking to the press about Hunka's invitation and the subsequent fallout, and that the media frenzy would die down if they stayed tight-lipped."
https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...How can PM Trudeau claim NOT to have known about Freeland's family "secret"? The stories I've disclosed in this & other posts were effortless to find.
Why didn't Trudeau, the Liberals, or even Chrystia Freeland herself openly disclose her background story? Isn't the coverup/obfuscation and who is involved always worse than the actual event?

"NewsGuard's founders cautioned that its "Nutrition Label" should not be treated as an endorsement"
https://nypost.com/2022/03/18/....
The New York Times and The Washington Post both received 100 percent ratings from NewsGuard, yet both botched reporting on the Russia-collusion hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation along with 51 ex-leaders of American intelligence agencies, and many details surrounding Covid — and those are merely the “big” stories and easy examples.
Since the “Twitter Files” and congressional hearings outed NewsGuard as a player in the Censorship Complex, the media-ratings giant has been insisting it is nothing like the Global Disinformation Index, the discredited organization recently exposed for blacklisting conservative news outlets. But the two are far more alike than different.
https://thefederalist.com/2023......so why is the writer of this article so intent on constantly bashing conservative commentators and their news organizations as disinformation with a discredited "news rating" organization on such a regular basis?

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone...
